Chapter 167: The Tremor
Chapter 167: The Tremor
The sound of the changing terrain was incessant.
Water splashed and ice shards soared high, reflecting a pristine glow under the moonlight, as if the ground was showering the sky with a beautiful snowfall.
Lindsey stood in place, and at this moment, his choice was naturally to protect himself.
He wrapped the newly crafted Dual Aura Cloak around his body and simultaneously created a defensive structure with the earth blocks in his bag.
Whoosh—
Within the defense, Lindsey couldn't see the changes outside.
But throughout the process, the intense sound of water waves was relentless, coming from the direction of the lake where the Blackscale Lizard had dwelled.
"…………"
This tremor came and went swiftly.
It ceased after over ten seconds.
Lindsey removed the defense, and what appeared before his eyes was a completely different scene.
This tremor was undoubtedly the Dragon Beast's act of venting its anger.
Irregular cracks covered the entire swamp, and the water flowed underground, transforming the entire area's terrain dramatically."
Especially the lake where the Blackscale Lizard had lived.
The vast water surface completely vanished, leaving behind only a hideous ruin. Mud flowed around the sunken crevices, and a stifling stench of decay permeated the air.
"..."
"This is quite an exaggeration."
Lindsey swallowed hard, managing a bitter smile as he prepared to leave.
He casually opened the attribute panel, and after this display of power on the land, the Ice Crystal in the Temperature Dilemma also showed a completed task status.
"Claim reward."
[RPG Module Ability Upgrade, Level: 6]
[RPG Module gains a new skill - Equipment System.]
[Equipment System: The attribute panel adds an equipment slot and a transformation slot, each with independent enhancement bonuses.]
Note: In reality, you can wear as many rings as you have fingers, but here you can only wear two!]
"Equipment System..."
"Independent enhancement bonuses?"
Lindsey sensed something from the skill description.
He opened the attribute panel, and indeed, there were new slots for equipment, similar to a typical RPG game, divided into categories like body, legs, shoes, and hats.
Additionally, each piece of equipment had its dedicated transformation slot.
Lindsey tried placing the newly acquired Dual Aura Cloak into the slot.
The next second, the cloak on his back physically disappeared, but the effects of the entire equipment remained!
"So I can put a cloak in the equipment slot and wear another one in reality?"
Lindsey immediately grasped the power of this ability.
He put on the Treant Crown in reality and then placed the Treant Wreath in the attribute panel slot.
The two headgear, which couldn't be equipped simultaneously, now took effect concurrently.
Lindsey then placed the Blackscale Lizard Head in the transformation slot, and his appearance transformed into that of the Blackscale Lizard Head, but the attribute bonuses of the Blackscale Lizard Head didn't apply.
"Transformation is only for customizing appearances, so there's still a trade-off."
The bonuses of strength and constitution, along with enhanced vision and sense of smell, were too valuable for Lindsey to give up.
So he placed the Blackscale Lizard Head in the equipment slot.
He then wore the Crimson Spider Eye Goggles in reality, completing his headgear selection.
Whoosh—
Suddenly, a cold wind blew towards him.
Lindsey turned to see scattered Glacier Elementals approaching.
Although the swamp was destroyed by the Dragon Beast's anger, these Fourth Stage Glacier Elementals didn't lose their lives.
At this very moment, the air in this ruin was rapidly warming under the rules of Black Mountain.
These subjugated Glacier Elementals were destined to never slumber again.
In their state of confusion, their keen photosensitive system detected Lindsey, and they approached him with the same hostility as before.
"You're also victims."
"If we could realize who the real enemy is, then we could..."
Lindsey had just cooperated with Calder, and had even received help from the Mountain Spirits.
He was motivated by a shred of kindness.
He wanted to persuade them, to spare these Elemental Beings without issue.
But unfortunately, the red markers on the map were vivid and eye-catching.
Not only were there no green markers symbolizing friendship, but not even a single yellow marker of neutrality could be found.
Lindsey shrugged:
"Well, then the negotiation failed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lindsey put the Ice Wolverine War Club into his equipment slot and then pulled out the Spider Silk Nightshade.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the night, arrows flew out at high speed.
But at this moment, the Spider Silk Nightshade changed its previous attributes.
Its firing speed remained unchanged, but the arrows, which were supposed to be weaker, collided with the Glacier Elementals and unleashed a powerful force.
Bang!
Each arrow produced a muffled sound.
The Glacier Elementals, unable to dodge, either shattered or flew backward.
Their state was not like being hit by arrows.
Instead, it was as if a strongman had smashed them with a war club!
In reality, this was indeed the case, as Lindsey was now firing ordinary arrows.
But with the modification of the Equipment System.
The power contained within them was that of the Ice Wolverine War Club!
"..."
"That was too fast, right?"
Two minutes later, the encirclement against Lindsey was declared bankrupt.
Apart from the ruins, no Glacier Elemental could be seen here.
Lindsey even opened the map to take a look.
Not even a fly could be found near him!
However, in the distance, there were a few red dots symbolizing hostility, which were currently fleeing without looking back.
"Did I scare them?"
Muttering about his sudden evolution, Lindsey began collecting materials from the bodies of the Glacier Elementals.
Like the Meteor Fire Beast, Glacier Elementals could produce [Ice Crystals].
[3 Ice Crystals = Ice Pattern]
[1 Ice Crystal + 1 Steel Ingot + 1 Iron Ingot = 20 Ice Bullets]
[1 Ice Crystal + 1 Wood + 1 Iron Ingot = Ice Bomb]
At the same time, in the Hunting Diary.
The Glacier Elementals also completed the first-level achievement, and the reward could be claimed immediately.
Lindsey did not hesitate.
[Accessory/Material: Ice Shield Emblem]
[A shield emblem that gathers the power of ice. When worn on the chest, the wearer can consume Essence when attacking, adding extreme cold to the attack, eroding and freezing the enemy's body; can also be used as a material to create other items.]
[Achievement item, moderate value.]
"I knew it was you!"
Seeing the pure white snowflake-shaped shield emblem, Lindsey smiled.
He took off the Meteor Fire Brooch he was wearing and synthesized it.
[1 Meteor Fire Brooch + 1 Ice Shield Emblem = Ice and Fire Emblem]
[Accessory/Material: Ice and Fire Emblem]
[A badge that gathers the power of ice and fire. When worn on the chest, the wearer can consume Essence when attacking, adding extreme cold and high heat simultaneously, enhancing perception; can also be used as a material to create other items.]
[A special accessory that combines opposing forces, with a higher value.]
