Chapter 221: Underground Passage!
Chapter 221: Underground Passage!
"So, you dare to come here!"
The moment she heard the voice, Hong instantly raised the Wooden Poisoned Spear in her hand.
She had fought her way underground from the surface alongside the bat, killing numerous beasts along the way, with the most common being the lizardmen.
Now, hearing the voices of these guys, attacking was her first choice.
Almost simultaneously, Lindsey beside her shuddered.
They were standing close to each other, and he could clearly sense Hong's Essence and spirit strengthening once again, filled with a powerful killing intent.
They had fought their way from the surface to the underground.
After such an intense battle, Hong's Essence and spirit were in a state of extreme excitement.
Hong's eyes, like rubies, seemed to glow in the darkness as she stared at Lindsey, then shook her head.
Soon after, some light and agile footsteps could be heard.
They quickly passed through this area, almost escaping the detection range of the lizardmen ahead.
Once the footsteps faded, Hong removed her hand from Lindsey's mouth:
"So, by hiding here, you mean to let them lead the way?"
Lindsey nodded in affirmation:
"Exactly, after all, we don't know the exact location of Crystal Valley."
"To quickly confirm the location, finding a guide who knows the terrain is definitely the fastest method."
The map ability clearly displayed the underground structure.
Lindsey expanded the scouting range, maintaining a high level of precision.
However, the problem was that the underground structure in this area was extremely complex, with countless large and small caves.
The map didn't provide names for each cave.
To locate Crystal Valley, they would have to search through each one, which would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.
But the lizardmen were different.
Having confronted the Blind Ones for many years, they must be familiar with the underground layout.
Especially with their chiefs currently engaged in a life-or-death battle, these lizardmen would undoubtedly rush to Crystal Valley to seize the opportunity, and nothing else would make sense.
For Lindsey, this was also the most trustworthy guide.
While communicating with Hong, Lindsey once again wielded the Meteor Hammer to break through the ceiling, and the two began to follow their 'guide' ahead.
With the map markers as their guideposts, they didn't even have to worry about losing track of them.
The tunnels in the underground world wind and twist.
Lindsey and Hong stealthily follow two groups ahead, passing through tunnel after tunnel and hidden underground caves.
The battle between the two Sixth Stage Beings is grand, causing constant tremors underground.
Suddenly, there are numerous collapsed tunnels and completely blocked caves.
Even the advancing Lizardmen, who understand the terrain, have to frequently change their route to continue their journey.
After half an hour of this, they finally reach a cave with an extremely vast area.
Lindsey almost simultaneously stops:
"Hong, we're here!"
The girl beside him immediately asks:
"What do you mean, should we charge in?"
Lindsey takes out his Meteor Hammer and strikes the ground a few times, creating a large pit, and hands Hong the iron pickaxe he had previously used:
"No, we'll continue digging a tunnel."
Hong takes the pickaxe, her movements somewhat frustrated.
She brandishes the hoe, knocking down an entire row of mud, before she can't help but ask Lindsey:
"Lindsey, we're here, and we're not taking action?"
"We're not here for a friendly trip, so there's no need to constantly avoid conflict, right?"
Lindsey points upwards with his finger:
"It's not that I'm having a sudden burst of kindness."
"What if we take action and attract those Sixth Stage guys? The situation won't be manageable then."
Boom—
Almost perfectly echoing Lindsey's concern.
The ground suddenly trembles, and a pile of rubble and mud falls from the tunnel they are in.
The aftermath of the battle never seems to stop.
Both Sixth Stage Beings are determined to kill each other, and this battle clearly won't weaken gradually; it will only end after a complete outburst.
Such an obvious fact gives Lindsey confidence.
Hong can't refute it, only pouting in dissatisfaction:
"They've been fighting for half an hour."
"Even when I'm hunting on a cliff, I don't waste this much time."
Lindsey shrugs:
"This only means our time is running out."
"Save your strength, quickly dig the tunnel and get in, that's the real deal."
Boom!
Another boom reverberates nearby.
Both of them fall silent, starting to dig the tunnel with effort, each making their own judgments about the current situation.
The increasing frequency of vibrations.
It indicates that the combatants' mental state is becoming more agitated, hence the frequent high-intensity attacks and collisions.
They might have to flee.
Or should they go all-in and try to defeat the powerful enemy here? Luck seems to be on Lindsey's side.
They take turns digging the tunnel, their progress as leisurely as a regular person's stroll.
In less than five minutes, their marker on the map has already overlapped with the Lizardmen above.
But just as the Blind Elder said.
There seems to be danger in Crystal Valley, and these Lizardmen dare not enter immediately. Instead, they disperse, surrounding the entire cave.
Lindsey and Hong whisper their observations:
"They dare not enter? If they're so timid, why did they rush over so hastily?"
"Perhaps they want to secure the victory spoils, preventing others from stealing them; or they might be scouting the situation; or they could be trying to resolve the danger in Crystal Valley."
Crack—
At this moment, a different sound and sensation emanate from Lindsey's swinging Meteor Hammer.
He turns to look.
What meets his eyes is no longer the pitch-black underground soil.
A cluster of crystals, shimmering with blue light, blooms beneath the Meteor Hammer, radiating its brilliance.
