Chapter 266: Stop Them for Me!
Chapter 266: Stop Them for Me!
Lindsey bid farewell to Platinum Palace and continued his journey with Oma, digging through the pitch-black underground to create a tunnel. This time, to ensure a timely response, Lindsey maintained the tunnel's position close to the surface.
If Hong also encountered danger, with the speed of his meteor hammer digging through the soil, Lindsey could break through the ground above in just one or two seconds and provide assistance.
Behind Lindsey, Oma concentrated on maintaining his sensing ability. The two worked in perfect harmony, advancing their reconnaissance smoothly.
Lindsey's only concern was that Hong might have been taken away from the Frozen City by the Dragon Beast, but recalling the attitude of the Dark Abyss, he managed to steady his mindset.
Time passed, and when they reached one-third of the city, Lindsey's map still showed no sign of Hong. He turned to ask Oma, who shook his head with a grim expression.
"Mr. Lindsey, I can't sense Miss Hong's location." Oma's tone was tense and urgent.
Lindsey, who was supposed to be the one comforting, found himself in that role: "Don't worry, Hong is definitely still alive!"
Oma analyzed, "Mr. Lindsey, we were all affected by that strong wind, and our positions are in roughly the same direction, just varying in distance. If Miss Hong is truly unharmed, she should have been discovered by us by now!"
Oma was probably worried that Hong might be dead.
Lindsey explained in a low voice, "Whether it's the Dragon Beast or the Dark Abyss... the Dark Abyss is the person who attacked us underground just now. They both have deep designs on Hong and would never dare to kill her!"
Hearing this, Oma curiously asked, "Is there something special about Miss Hong?"
"On her body..."
Lindsey had intended to explain to the Seer behind him. Given the chance to escape, Oma was willing to risk his life and return to the Frozen City with him.
This was a companion worthy of trust! But at that moment, Lindsey's sense of deja vu, which had surfaced when he parted ways with Platinum Palace, resurfaced.
The experiences in the Frozen City and the adventures with his companions flashed through Lindsey's mind.
Finally, he recalled the reaction of the Chaos Dominator when he appeared in the Dead Sea.
The Dominator's expression was one of surprise, and when confirming the identities of the intruders, his tone carried a hint of confusion.
It wasn't until he discovered Hong that his doubt was replaced by delight.
In other words, the Chaos Dominator, who had come underground with the intent to ambush the enemy, was surprised by the presence of these intruders! This implied that the beings he discovered underground, were not supposed to be these humans!
Lindsey's heart tightened.
With this as a starting point for his thoughts, more encounters flooded his mind.
Next was the experience of the human Awakeners.
Platinum Palace's mind control and telepathy, Oma's powerful reconnaissance ability, and the capabilities of the other Awakeners.
Such a combination had managed to escape the Revivers' encirclement and hide within the city.
Unless something unexpected happened, with their combined abilities, it was almost impossible for the Revivers to easily discover them.
But the result of Lindsey's map reconnaissance was that they were immediately besieged.
How did the Revivers accomplish this? Or was there an unforeseen factor within the team of human Awakeners that was interfering with the normal development of events?
Lastly, there was the airflow created by the Dragon Beast deep underground.
This airflow appeared at the most critical moment, as if the Dragon Beast itself was on the battlefield, witnessing everything before taking action.
Considering their concern for Hong, the Dragon Beast's airflow wouldn't harm the girl.
But for the other human Awakeners, it showed no such restraint.
The Dragon Beast could have just taken Hong and ignored the others, or even trampled upon them, instead of what happened earlier.
It was only because of Lindsey's bad luck that he ended up underground, struggling to return to the surface.
"This... it can't all be a coincidence."
The chaotic clues gradually became clear, and then converged.
A clear conclusion emerged.
The Underground Abyss felt that the ones on the Dead Sea shouldn't be these humans.
The Dragon Beast understood everything and was wary of the presence of the Expedition Team, except for Lindsey.
Especially at this moment, there were only two Awakened humans left in the world.
One of them was Platinum Palace, who had escaped from the Glacier's crevasse.
The other was Oma, who followed Lindsey back to the Frozen City with boundless courage!
"..."
Lindsey quietly locked the module to Simulated Management.
During his excavation, he casually twisted his body, his gaze falling on the Seer behind him.
Oma was currently using her Spatial Art to probe the surrounding environment.
She seemed unbothered by Lindsey's silence, appearing to respect his secrets.
Lindsey didn't want to wrong any of his companions, so he began to probe:
"By the way, Oma, could you tell me more about the Seer's abilities?"
"The Seer trains various senses, then integrates them and greatly extends their range." Oma explained naturally, "In addition to a physique superior to ordinary people and the enhancement from Essence, I can only rely on my enhanced senses to fight with my body's consciousness."
Lindsey asked another question:
"What kind of perception ability is this?"
"Perceiving more information than ordinary people, if we fight powerful enemies, we might face corresponding risks, right?"
Oma's expression was one of surprise:
"Ah... that's right, Lindsey, you're really smart!"
"Although there are many dangers, people like us are already accustomed to such changes."
Lindsey, walking ahead, handed the torch to Oma:
"Hold this torch for me."
"Breaking this stone might make a loud noise, so I'll use my hands to dig it out."
Oma naturally reached out and took the torch.
In that instant, their limbs made contact.
【Human: Awakener】
【The Seer, who had just reached the Fifth Stage, possessed strong reconnaissance abilities, but this individual was being invaded by an external consciousness, losing control of their body.】
【Selling Suggestion: Please confirm the ownership of the Seer before proceeding with the transaction.】
Click!
The next second, Lindsey directly dug through the tunnel above his head.
At the same time, a long-lost item was taken into his hand and placed by his mouth.
Hoot!
A crisp, long sound emanated from the Wind Whistle.
The ancient forest's call echoed through the Frozen City, and Lindsey's strengthened voice dispersed the power of the beasts, resounding throughout the entire space under the Glacier's cover.
The wind whistle's sound overwhelmed everything.
Whether in the sky or on the ground, everyone could hear this loud, prolonged call, and those non-beast Revivers also shifted their attention to Lindsey and Oma's location.
Almost all the enemies' gazes turned to the cave's exit.
Lindsey stepped out of the cave, onto the ground, and turned his head, his eyes filled with contempt, looking at Oma, who was standing there in shock:
"Dragon Beast, I'm going to retrieve the Soul of the Extinction Crown now."
"If you still intend to obtain the Soul of the Extinction Crown, then help me stop the people who will appear next."
"..."
Oma.
Or rather, the Seer whose body was occupied by the Dragon Beast, didn't offer much defense.
His human eyes instantly changed from normal to yellow serpentine pupils. The aura around him rapidly expanded, displaying the overwhelming Essence of a Seventh Stage powerhouse!
The Dragon Beast, whose identity had been exposed, asked calmly:
"Human, when did you find out?"
"..."
Lindsey didn't bother to respond.
He directly rushed to the side street, his body disappearing without a trace.
