Chapter 179: Into the Crypt

As 'The Mink King' took them deeper, they felt the temperature around them getting higher and higher. Even with Li Zijun's 'human air conditioner', the rest of the orc team still felt that it was getting hotter and hotter!

Just when the orc team felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, the 'Mink King' finally stopped, and he waved his hand to Li Zijun outside the air shield.

Shamansha, who was holding Li Zijun, was a little hesitant when she saw this action of the 'Mink King', but Zuihou still reassured her that Li Zijun was holding Li Zijun to the side of the air cover.

The 'Mink King' pointed not far under his feet, and then secretly glanced at Li Zijun with a narrow gaze, and then turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

The 'Mink King' thought that his action was very hidden, but his eyes were so big that everyone in the orc squad saw his expression. They really couldn't think of the true intentions of the 'Mink King', so Zuihou had to focus on Li Zijun and Shamansha.

Li Zijun knew that with the wisdom of the 'mink king,' he would never make such a mistake! The purpose of his doing this was to take revenge on himself for winning the gambling contract by luck, and Li Zijun couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

It's just that Li Zijun's expression didn't change at all, and he asked Shamantha to carry him to the place where the 'Mink King' had just stood.

Although Shamansha also found something wrong at this time, she really couldn't refuse Li Zijun's request, and carried him to the designated position with a red face.

Li Zijun looked intently in the direction designated by the 'Mink King', and with his eyesight, he only saw a crypt with a diameter of almost ten meters in a daze.

"My lord, what do you see?" asked the high priest as he walked over from the back line and asked Li Zijun.

"Look, High Priest, this is a crypt!"

The high priest looked at Li Zijun's finger, and he also made the same discovery as Li Zijun.

"Is this the source of the Niger River?" asked the High Priest, looking at the gushing water, with some uncertainty.

"I don't think 'the Mink King' will deceive us! What do you think we should do next?"

"Lord Lord, how is your injury, and how long will it take for you to be able to move freely?" Although the high priest also saw that Li Zijun's injury was not as serious as he initially appeared, he also knew that Li Zijun had indeed suffered a lot of internal injuries. And what he knows better is that Li Zijun's role in the orc team is getting bigger and bigger, and it has even reached a crucial point!

The road ahead will only become more and more dangerous, and the high priest must be sure that Li Zijun has at least the ability to protect himself before he gives the order to advance. Therefore, he wanted to get the most accurate picture of Li Zijun's injury.

"If you can let me rest for an hour, I should be able to recover the strength of the sixth or seventh layer!" Li Zijun understood what the high priest meant, and he said after a rough calculation in his heart.

"That's good! We've been all this way, and we haven't had time to rest, and now we're borrowing this piece of 'Blood-Eyed Sable' territory to take a break. The High Priest nodded to the Benedictine and Daga priests, and the three of them split up to care for the wounded of the orc squad.

Seeing the three of them disperse, Li Zijun immediately asked Shamansha to put himself down and helped him sit cross-legged.

Li Zijun had just picked up his true qi, and his chest, which had been absorbing heat, suddenly emitted a peaceful energy at this time. In just an instant, this energy warmed up Li Zijun's whole body meridians, which also made him feel that his injuries had recovered more than half of them quickly. He was trying to repair himself with the help of this liliang, but before he could make any moves, this liliang returned to his chest and disappeared without a trace.

This time the healing was unusually smooth, and it was half the time that Li Zijun expected. And when he opened his eyes again, he felt that his internal injuries had basically healed, and such an effect was also something he hadn't expected before!

"Lord Lord, what do you think now?" the high priest asked with a puzzled face on his face when he saw Li Zijun open his eyes, and asked with some concern.

"Except for the trauma, I feel that I should have no problem! This place is really amazing, and even the healing speed seems to be much faster than usual!" Li Zijun certainly couldn't let the high priest know his secret, and he blamed the mysterious Niger River for his rapid recovery.

"It's true, although our wounded didn't recover as quickly as you, but after this period of recuperation, they also feel that their injuries are much lighter, and it shouldn't affect our next trip. ”

"Speaking of the rest of the trip, High Priestess, what do you think? This crypt is not very large, and it is constantly bubbling outward, if we continue to use the water repellency stone, we may not be able to penetrate into it!"

"While you were healing, I discussed this with Benedict and Daga. The idea was to use the ropes to connect all of us together, and then release the Douqi shield at the same time to protect ourselves, put away the water repellency stones, and then enter the crypt one by one, and when we reached a more spacious place, we took out the water repellency stones. During the time you entered the crypt, the water repelling stone was still kept by Shamantha, what do you think?" the high priest said politely to Li Zijun.

Hearing the high priest's words, Li Zijun was slightly silent for a while. It is undeniable that this result of the consultation between the high priest, the Benedictine priests, and the Daga priests is the most appropriate way at present. It's just that if the water refuge stone continues to be in Shamantha's hands, it will make the rest of the orc team feel less comfortable, and even feel that Li Zijun is a little too strong. At this time, whether the two sides can cooperate sincerely is crucial, and Li Zijun does not want these small details to affect the trust between the two parties. Thinking of this, Li Zijun spoke:

"Shamantha is probably the weakest of us here, the situation in the crypt is unknown, and the water refuge stone is implicated in whether we can enter and exit this place smoothly, I don't think it is suitable for her to continue to be in charge of the water refuge stone. As for the rest, I don't have any opinions!"

The orc team originally had all kinds of suspicions, and was even worried that Li Zijun and Shamantha would secretly leave with the water shelter stone. At this time, hearing Li Zijun say this, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the impact on Li Zijun was much better invisibly.

The High Priest, the Benedictine Priest, and the Daga Priest heard Li Zijun's statement, and after they exchanged glances, they all nodded in unison.

Although Li Zijun doesn't look very old, he is extremely careful about being a person and doing things, and the three of them can't help but think a little higher about him.

The high priest did not prevaricate too much, and directly accepted Li Zijun's opinion, handed the water repelling stone to the hands of the Benedict priest, and ordered the others to prepare according to the previous design.

Watching the orc team release their fighting shields one by one, Benedict sacrificed to put the water refuge stone into the altar. With a wave of the High Priestess, the orc squad quickly leapt into the crypt in turn.

Li Zijun originally thought that it would be difficult to enter the crypt, and even because of the current, they were likely to be washed back. But what he didn't expect was that as everyone in the orc team jumped into the crypt, he felt the rope around his waist suddenly tighten. Immediately, he discovered that there was a not-so-powerful suction force in the crypt that was pulling them continuously.

The High Priest, Li Zijun, Benedict Sacrifice, and Daga Sacrifice didn't feel any danger, and they only slightly controlled the speed at which the orc team descended. But they have also stepped up their vigilance and are ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

In this way, the orc team seemed to be on a rotating slide, maintaining a speed that was neither fast nor slow, and slid towards the depths of the Niger River.

After about ten minutes like this, Li Zijun suddenly felt the rope around his waist tighten again, and then he heard the sound of someone rushing out of the water. He didn't have time to think about it, so he grabbed Shamantha behind him, and at this moment, he felt his body cold, and he and Shamantha had been thrown out of the water.

Li Zijun quickly glanced at the situation in front of him, and he found that the place where they were thrown out was a waterhole, and a few reefs in the middle of the waterhole sent a passage. As for where this passage leads, Li Zijun has no time to judge.

The few orcs in front of Li Zijun except for Benedict who barely stood on a reef, everyone else had already fallen into the waterhole next to them. Li Zijun didn't want to be so embarrassed, so he pulled Shamantha and chose a reef to jump on.

The moment he stood on the reef, Li Zijun understood that Benedict's standing posture was so reluctant. The reef beneath his feet was not only levitating, but also spinning freely, and at the same time the reef was unusually slippery.

After being thrown out of the river, it is inevitable that a warrior with average skills will have a momentary trance, coupled with the pull of the rope around his waist. In such a situation, it is almost impossible to stand on the reef!

Li Zijun is not an ordinary person, but in addition to the above unfavorable factors at the moment, he also has one more Shamantha.

The inertia is twice as large as that of ordinary people, so that Li Zijun sinks violently the moment he steps on the reef. Immediately, Li Zijun felt his feet slip, and at the same time, the reef began to roll.

Li Zijun hurriedly used the Tai Chi 'sticky' word to firmly anchor himself to the reef, and then he slapped one palm on the surface of the water before slamming himself into the pool.

With a "snap", Li Zijun took advantage of the power of this palm to stand up straight, quickly bent his legs and pressed down, and after completely stabilizing his body, he put Shamantha down.

Even though Li Zijun reacted quickly, his lower body was still soaked. And after he stood still, he found that it was just a moment of effort, and the clothes on his lower body had frozen into a piece, and the waterhole under his feet was actually a cold pool!
