Chapter 175: Covered in Sludge
Looking at Sarah's embarrassed appearance, Li Zijun felt a little more schadenfreude in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly snicker.
Suddenly, Li Zijun's keen ears caught several extremely faint sounds outside the air hood, which were somewhat similar to the movement of a fish moving quickly through the water, but it was even more slight. The most important thing is that the target of these sounds is within the air hood!
"Be careful!" Li Zijun couldn't tell the specific reason for the sound, and he hurriedly warned the people around him.
Almost at the same time as Li Zijun spoke, dozens of scarlet ribbons with pointed bifurcated heads slammed into the air shield, covering everyone in the orc squad under the attack.
This kind of attack is difficult to pose a real threat to a master of Li Zijun's level, especially when he has already been alerted in advance.
Lee didn't even think about moving around, and he thought he could easily repel the attacks around him with just a few casual swings of his arms. That's what he thinks and that's what he does.
But just when Li Zijun's palm was about to touch these bands, a danger signal suddenly sounded in his mind, and he didn't have time to think about it, relying entirely on his body's instinctive reaction, he leaned over and rolled sideways, avoiding the red belt that was about to touch his body.
At this time, Li Zijun saw that at his feet, a scarlet ribbon had emerged. Not only that, but at the top of his head, there was also the same belt wriggling! I don't know weishenme, looking at them, Li Zijun remembered the tongue of a frog.
They actually avoided the ears they had always been proud of so easily, and Li Zijun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he remembered the scene just now. And the next scene surprised him even more!
Shamantha had been pierced by a 'tongue' at this time, and was constantly being pulled outward by it.
Li Zijun hurriedly took a few steps forward to catch up with Shamansha, grabbed Shamantha with one hand, and slashed at the 'tongue' with one palm.
With a "boom", Li Zijun felt like he was not splitting on a soft belt, but like hitting a thick wall. The blow made his palm numb a little, and the 'tongue' didn't seem to be hurt in any way, but fortunately it still let Shamantha go, and quickly withdrew from the air shield.
"How are you?" asked Li Zijun, holding Shamantha, with concern.
"I'm fine! save the others!" Shamantha pleaded with Li Zijun holding her wounds.
After carefully confirming that Shamantha's injuries were not serious, Li Zijun turned around and prepared to start saving others.
At this time, there were already three people missing from the orc team, and in Li Zijun's impression, those three people were seriously injured in the first round of attacks of the sea badger, and it was normal to be dragged away at this time.
What made Li Zijun feel strange was that neither the Benedictine sacrifice nor the Daga sacrifice seemed to be in any serious trouble in this round of attacks, but the high priest walked a little unnaturally, and the corners of his mouth occasionally twitched.
Why are the two weaker people okay, but the strongest high priest seems to have suffered some minor injuries?
It's just that Li Zijun didn't have time to think about it at this time, he quickly slashed at the 'tongues' of the orc clan who were trying to pull them.
With the efforts of the four of them, the scarlet 'tongues' retracted, and none of the orcs were pulled out of the air shield.
But when the air hood returned to calm, they found that except for Li Zijun, everyone else was more or less injured, and two of them were directly pierced through the abdomen, and they saw that they were about to lose their lives.
Li Zijun couldn't bear to watch the two orcs die right in front of his eyes, and he used water magic to temporarily stabilize their injuries.
"Lord Lord, how are you, can you continue to move forward?" the high priest asked with concern as he looked at Li Zijun.
Li Zijun was covered in mud because he had just taken the action of rolling on his side, although he did not have any injuries on his body, but he looked very embarrassed, which attracted the high priest's question.
"I'm fine, it's just that my reaction is a little slower, which makes everyone laugh!" Li Zijun looked at his image and said with a wry smile.
"Your Excellency, you are so humble! You and I were the only ones who received 'special care' just now, you just got your clothes dirty, and I have become like this!" the High Priest raised his left foot, pointed to the tattered soles of his shoes, and nodded the corners of his mouth again.
"If you want to talk about reaction, I'm much slower than adults! I didn't expect the strength of adults to be so strong! It's ridiculous that I always thought that I could be slightly better than adults, but now it seems that I am afraid that I may not be the opponent of adults!" The high priest faced his own people being pulled away as prey, but he was powerless, and his heart was already full of loss. At this moment, seeing that although Li Zijun was embarrassed on the surface, he was actually unscathed, the gap in his heart was further widened, and the loneliness instantly filled almost his entire heart!
"This is really ridiculous! The reason why I was able to avoid that round of attacks just now is entirely because my cultivation method can predict danger to a certain extent, which does not represent my true strength! Otherwise, I would not be so embarrassed!"
"Actually, I haven't been able to figure out exactly what happened just now, and I was still wondering how easily Benedictine and Daga Weishenme would have dealt with it. If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known that only the two of us had received 'special care'!" Li Zijun said with a self-deprecating smile.
Li Zijun was not entirely modest when he said this, according to his own estimates, his strength was at most comparable to that of Benedict, the second man in the orc squad, and he was by no means an opponent of the High Priest.
The sneak attack on Li Zijun just now, if he hadn't been alert and reacted at the moment when he was touched like the high priest, his injuries at the moment must have been much more serious than the high priest. Thinking of this, Li Zijun suddenly realized that his sixth sense seemed to be becoming more and more sensitive.
Hearing Li Zijun say this, the high priest recalled the scene at that time, and finally found some comfort, and his face was not so ugly.
"High Priest, what exactly is it that attacked us just now? Why do I think that scarlet ribbon is a bit like the tongue of some kind of animal?" Li Zijun took this opportunity to divert the topic, not letting the High Priest's mind be entangled in the difference in strength between the two people.
"You read that right, we must have been attacked by the Blood-Eyed Marten!, although the Blood-Eyed Marten is a sea creature like the sea badger, it is just above the sea badger's position in the food chain of the sea creatures. No wonder the sea badgers didn't dare to cross the straight line, because they knew very well that there were 'hunters' specifically for them. Speaking of this, the high priest also showed a wry smile.
"It seems that the 'Blood-Eyed Golden Sable' sees us as their prey!" Hearing the introduction of the high priest, Li Zijun also recalled the introduction of the 'Blood-Eyed Golden Sable' he saw in the family collection, and when he thought of the scene just now, he couldn't help but shiver!
In Li Zijun's view, the 'blood-eyed golden marten' is more like a frog that has grown up, except that its skin has turned golden yellow, and its eyes have changed from black to blood red. In the records of the ocean in the Youlan Continent, it is equivalent to the big shark of Shijie before Li Zijun, and it uses its tongue several times the length of its body as a weapon, pierces the body of its prey, and pulls the prey in front of it to eat. Legend has it that its tongue is unusually tough, and Li Zijun was originally a little skeptical, but after today's battle, he completely denied his previous judgment. In today's situation, the 'Blood-Eyed Marten' is even more bloody, brutal, cold-blooded and cunning than the Great Shark. Among the known sea creatures in the Youlan Continent, it seems that there are few animals that are qualified to be its enemies, and it is a nightmare for almost all underwater creatures!
"In the records I have seen about the 'blood-eyed sable', it is supposed to be a deep-sea creature, and it is extremely cold-loving, and usually appears in pairs. There will be so many 'Blood-Eyed Golden Sables' in this place today?" Li Zijun asked with puzzlement as he thought of the characteristics of the 'Blood-Eyed Golden Sable'.
"Sea badgers aren't sea creatures, they don't show up here anymore!" said Sarah, annoyed.
Just now, Li Zijun bypassed Sara to save Shamantha first, which made Sara feel very dissatisfied, and then he seized the opportunity to choke at Li Zijun.
"Sarah, when is it your turn to talk more in this place?!Get out of the way!" As the number of wounded in the orc squad increased, Li Zijun's role had become more and more important, and Benedictine certainly wouldn't tolerate anyone in the orc squad angering Li Zijun for no reason, and he kicked Sara aside.
"Sara may be rude, but it's true!The Niger River is so weird, High Priest, what are we going to do next?" asked the High Priest with a frown.
"Lord Lord, I'm afraid we can only count on you next!" The high priest did not directly answer the Daga sacrifice, but turned to Li Zijun with a smile.
"Count on me, High Priest, you're not joking with me, are you? You didn't see it just now, I was so embarrassed by the 'Blood-Eyed Golden Sable', how could I have anything else to do?!" Li Zijun looked at the High Priest with some inexplicability.
"Originally, I didn't know the true meaning of the legend of our orc race, but now I do!" the high priest looked at Li Zijun with surprise.
"You are talking about the 'Sword of Eros'?" Under the reminder of the high priest's gaze, Li Zijun also finally had his intention.
"With the power of the 'Sword of Eros', coupled with your extraordinary perception, I think we will definitely be able to overcome this difficult time!" As soon as the High Priest said this, everyone in the orc team focused their expectant eyes on Li Zijun.
