Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

However, it was difficult to bypass the Fisherman and find Fang Yu.

He certainly didn’t want to be thrown into that space by the Fisherman again.

But…

Despite that, at this moment, Yuanqi’s eyes revealed a look of contemplation, and his mind began to constantly devise a plan.

Although… because of the Fisherman’s presence, he could not directly attack Fang Yu.

He could, however, use his forces to deal with Fang Yu.

One must know that the Fisherman is solitary and without any subordinates, while Yuanqi has painstakingly developed several forces under his command over time.

Creating a rivalry with the Fisherman, this way the Fisherman cannot stop his subordinates from going after Fang Yu.

Yet Yuanqi still felt a bit troubled inside.

Because most of his forces operated in secrecy.

Not to mention dealing with Fang Yu, they would likely be immediately detected by the Ocean Court and arrested as soon as they entered the safe waters under its surveillance.

Capturing Fang Yu might not be so easy…

As he pondered, Yuanqi suddenly had a change in expression, his gaze turning to a distant sea area.

“Oh?”

Yuanqi uttered a soft exclamation because he saw several cargo ships sailing at high speed across that sea area, heading towards the distance.

If they were just ordinary cargo ships, they wouldn’t have caught Yuanqi’s attention.

However, Yuanqi perceived a familiar aura emanating from these cargo ships.

“Interesting…”

A flicker in Yuanqi’s eyes accompanied by a shift in his body, he quietly activated the Ocean Scripture in order to conceal his presence.

Under the effect of the Ocean Scripture, Yuanqi’s presence was completely hidden; he quickly took large strides, boldly following near the cargo ships, curiously observing them.

As expected, under the Ocean Scripture’s influence, the people on the cargo ships did not notice Yuanqi, who was able to clearly observe everything on board.

The cargo ships appeared just like ordinary ones, nothing unusual, but the crew had vacant expressions, working mechanically like robots, ensuring the ships were progressing smoothly toward their destination.

With Yuanqi’s level of cultivation, especially at such close proximity,

he could effortlessly see through their bodies, revealing mycelium spreading and growing within.

On the surface, these people looked like normal crew members, behaving appropriately, nothing strange.

But in reality, their bodies had long been parasitized and controlled by the mycelium, not only serving as nourishment for it but also becoming its puppets.

“It’s Chongyuan!”

Yuanqi thought to himself.

Members of the Peacekeeping Council mostly knew Chongyuan’s nature, understanding that Chongyuan’s true form was a half-human, half-mushroom existence.

And also knew Chongyuan had many incarnations operating in the world, with the ability to parasitize mycelium on others, controlling them and hiding himself.

Seeing the mycelium in these bodies and sensing the all-too-familiar aura, Yuanqi realized these crew members were under Chongyuan’s control, delivering the cargo to a mysterious location.

“Quite interesting!”

Yuanqi felt a surge of joy, a strong sense of delight flashed in his eyes; he moved quickly, seemingly vanishing completely under the Ocean Scripture’s concealment, leaving no trace or sound.

The crew, merely controlled by mycelium and neither Chongyuan’s true form nor significant incarnation, naturally couldn’t detect Yuanqi’s existence.

He straightforwardly stepped right onto the ships, quietly inspecting the cargo being transported.

Moments later, Yuanqi’s expression shifted, and he was certain inside.

“Indeed, this cargo is meant to be sent to Chongyuan’s true location.”

Yuanqi thought inwardly.

He found a large amount of Essence of Flesh and Blood, Extraordinary Essence, and Divine Essence on board.

Not only that, there was also a considerable amount of precious wood.

Seeing these items, Yuanqi had no more doubts, understanding the cargo ship’s purpose.

Since Chongyuan’s true form was stealthily hiding in some corner, no one knew his whereabouts.

But a top-level expert, whether cultivating or maintaining normal physiological functions, required considerable resources.

If it were only three essential resources, it could still be understood.

But Yuanqi also saw a large amount of precious wood; likely only a half-human, half-mushroom entity would rely on and require precious wood and top-level lignin.

Only by absorbing lignin can the mushroom grow, continually producing incarnations.

Seeing the cargo contents and the familiar mycelium, Yuanqi couldn’t help but feel joyous.

This batch of resources was presumably sent quietly to Chongyuan’s true location for regular cultivation needs.

Despite Chongyuan’s caution, using mycelium to control and parasitize all crew, he never expected the cargo transportation process to be accidentally discovered by Yuanqi.

Yuanqi quickly put behind the setbacks he faced with the Fisherman, using the Ocean Scripture to hide directly among the cargo ships.

And the ships remained clueless, despite the mycelium’s high alert, as Yuanqi’s unique Ocean Scripture power perfectly concealed him, avoiding detection by the mycelium.
