Chapter 56 Underwater Secrets

The big miner slime had no choice but to pick up another small piece of iron ore and shape a small iron pickaxe in its belly.

At this point, the little miner slime finally had his own iron pickaxe.

Li Cunxu asked, "Yiyi, the little miner slime was born. Did your destiny points increase?"

"Sisi~ (It has increased, but only a little bit.)"

Li Cunxu was very happy and increased his destiny points, which showed that his idea was correct.

The little white spider Yiyi mutated into a miner slime, and the miner slime gave birth to a little miner slime, and the wings of fate began to flap.

Without Yiyi, there would be no Miner Slime, let alone the second generation Miner Slime, and even more so no third generation Miner Slime.

Therefore, the larger the Miner Slime population grows, the more destinies Yiyi will influence. In this way, as long as the Miner Slime exists in the world, Yiyi will be able to continuously gain destiny points from it.

This is just one type of slime. Once Yiyi mutates into other slimes, she will be able to earn more destiny points.

After handing the task of increasing the number of miner slimes to the little white spider, Li Cunxu went to meditate again. He was just one step away from reaching the intermediate level of Black Iron in terms of mental strength.

Li Cunxu had a premonition that this meditation would definitely work.

As it turned out, Li Cunxu's premonition was wrong, and he didn't make a breakthrough after meditating.

This time it was the little white spider who woke him up again.

This time it was not because of the appearance of mutated slime, but because the black iron clone of the little white spider found the underground river.

"There is no time to lose, go immediately."

The Blood Demon Orb is buried underground in a secret mine realm. There is no coordinate, address or passage. Li Cunxu only remembers vague clues, and the time he has to stay in the secret mine realm is limited, so he has to hurry.

The mine has many branches and is like a maze. Li Cunxu doesn't like such an environment. He has gotten lost in this secret realm countless times and has developed a little trauma about the underground environment.

On the way here, Li Cunxu found that it was not a good idea to ask the slimes to find the underground river, because the mine was too complicated and many slimes got lost.

A circular passage, where a group of earth slimes gathered, kept circling around the stone pillars, trapped in an infinite loop.

"The slimes have never gotten lost in the tunnels under the pasture. Could it be that they're unfamiliar with this place?"

The little white spider, however, navigated accurately to the mine where the black iron clone found the underground river as if he was coming home.

"Even the earth slimes that live underground get lost because they're unfamiliar with the way. Why don't you get lost? Oh, I forgot, the Widow Red Spider Queen's clan is a crypt creature."

The air in this mine is very humid. From time to time, water droplets can be seen dripping slowly on the walls, forming small streams. In the quiet underground, the sound of gurgling water is heard. The light of the mining lamp reflects on the moist stone walls, casting mottled spots of light, like stars dancing on the water. Dust flies in the light column, as if it is a lost elf, looking for a way out in the darkness.

When you reach the deepest part of the mine, you will see a winding underground river flowing quietly. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. The light shining on the calm river surface emits a faint blue glow. Stalactites of strange shapes hang from the ceiling of the cave, like a series of naturally carved murals.

"A peaceful underground river should be it."

He took out a waterproof suit from his backpack, drank a bottle of warm goat's milk, and then drank a bottle of underwater breathing potion. Holding the glowing kerosene lamp, he stepped into the freezing underground river step by step.

Kerosene lamps are waterproof and there is no need to worry about them going out.

"Downstream or upstream?"

It had been so long that Li Cunxu couldn't quite remember whether he was reaching the end of the river or the source of the river.

"Let's go upstream first!"

If you go downstream first and reach the end of the river, but find that it is not the underground river, you have to turn around and go upstream. Going upstream is very physically demanding, especially if you have to go upstream along the entire underground river.

If you go upstream first and reach the source of the river, but find that it is not there, going upstream is indeed very tiring, but returning is with the flow, and it is much easier to walk the entire underground river with the flow than against the flow.

I don’t know how long I swam, I stopped to rest three times, and finally arrived at the source of the river.

The source of the underground river is a very deep pool. There is a hole in the middle of the cave ceiling, and water flows down continuously like a water column.

"I don't remember. It shouldn't be here."

Li Cunxu turned around and went downstream. He took note of this place, as he was curious about what was on the top of the cave, the source of the underground river.

Is it another underground river? Or?
There is a saying among the players of "Shen Yu": Don't ignore abnormalities. Abnormalities may be dangers or opportunities.

The journey back is still long, but the rewards are great.

Li Cunxu picked up two gold nuggets of different sizes at the bottom of the river, and he suspected that there was a gold mine under the river.

The underground river was unexpectedly long, so we took a break five times and drank another bottle of underwater breathing potion.

Li Cunxu bought an underwater breathing potion that lasts for two hours. Ten minutes before the end of the time limit, he will noticeably feel that breathing underwater is becoming difficult.

At the end of the river, the soil collapsed and blocked the river.

"It should be here. I have some impression of it."

"What should I do next? I remember digging straight in one direction. Which direction should I dig?"

"Left, right, or forward?"

Li Cunxu couldn't remember it because the time was too long ago.

"Since I can't remember, I'll just dig in three directions at once. There's a slime there anyway."

Li Cunxu released the Earth Slime and Miner Slime from his pet bag.

These slimes are more than enough to dig one hole, but for three holes, they are not enough.

"Xiaoyi, your Black Iron clone should still be over there! Have it send the Earth Slime over here."

Before going down the underground river, Li Cunxu did not bring all the slimes with him because there was not enough space in the pet bag.

"Sisi~ (I can't command the Earth Slime.)"

"Just have your clone throw them directly into the river. They will flow downstream and reach us."

Earth slimes hate water, but are not afraid of it and will not be drowned by water like fire slimes.

Li Cunxu had lost his pickaxe and could not participate in the excavation, so he sat on a large bluestone and meditated.

He had several premonitions and meditated for a breakthrough, but his premonitions were wrong.

Every time it was just a little bit off, every time it was just a little bit off, which made him restless and unable to concentrate on meditation.

"Give me a break. I might be too tense."

He sat on a large bluestone and thought about life, looking at the clear water below, when suddenly a question came to his mind.

The flow here has been cut off due to a collapse. Logically, the water here should be very deep, but the water here is not even as deep as the pool at the source of the underground river. So where does the water go?
Li Cunxu jumped into the riverbed to find the answer.

This search only made him more confused.

There is no outlet at the bottom of the river.

How did the water disappear without a water outlet?
Something is fishy.

There might be something underneath.

Mining the riverbed is extremely difficult.

The earth slime is a bit light and difficult to sink, but the mineral slime has an iron pickaxe and can sink easily.

But there is resistance in the water and the mining progress is very slow.

After three days of digging, they finally uncovered the underwater secret.
