Chapter 500: The Roaring Sound
Chapter 500: The Roaring Sound
【Material: Venomous Worm Blood】
【A blood containing potent mental toxins. Ingesting or exposure through wounds will immediately cause severe mental paralysis, even leading to permanent paralysis. It can also be used as a material to craft other items.】
【A rare and moderately valuable dream material.】
The first-level hunting achievement for the Parasitic Worm requires a total of 15.
Lindsey had not yet reached the required number from his recent encounter.
However, he had collected six portions of the material, all of which were this blood containing mental toxins.
Continuing to browse through the synthesis formulas:
【1 Venomous Worm Blood + 1 Golden Leaf Spike + 1 Pure Water + 1 Glass Vessel = Paralysis Cure Potion】
【1 Venomous Worm Blood + 1 Bloodthirsty Thousand Light + 1 Illusion Ice Mushroom + 1 Pure Water + 1 Glass Vessel = Nightmare Neurotoxin】
Two potions.
One for paralysis removal and the other for poisoning.
Lindsey did not have the required 【Bloodthirsty Thousand Light】, but the 【Golden Leaf Spike】 was a common herb, which he had in stock at his shop. He could immediately synthesize and test the effect.
【Potion: Paralysis Cure Potion】
【An excellent paralysis cure potion that can remove most paralysis conditions. Due to the inclusion of a special dream material, this potion is particularly effective in treating neurotoxins.】
【A unique antidote with moderate value.】
"As expected, this is the effect..."
Inside the Boat Rental Shop.
Lindsey was examining the items he had just obtained, while the young Selena was absorbing the memories in her mind.
Alarson was the only one idle.
With nothing else to do, the one-armed painter stepped out of the shop and looked around.
As time passed, the chaotic situation in the mirrored city was intensifying.
It wasn't just the Plague of Corruption; all sorts of unruly creatures were rampaging without caution.
"Are these things brought over from the Illusory Dream, or reflections from the past timeline?"
"Is it really necessary to paint them?"
"Why is my first Illusory Dream like this..."
Alarson shook his head repeatedly.
Recalling Lindsey's earlier reminder, he took out two sheets of white paper and wrote down the location to exit the Illusory Dream.
The one-armed painter sketched lines on the paper.
After finishing, he used one hand to fold the paper into a paper airplane, connecting the lines to fix it into a perfect shape.
"Fly, fly away."
"Go and find those who need saving."
Alarson threw the paper airplane out of the shop, and it danced through the city, scattering everywhere, searching for potential targets to save.
"Hopefully, this will help you..."
Alarson sighed and returned to the house.
He remembered their experience on Mermaid Island, and Lindsey's exceptional reconnaissance skills—was this guy good at everything, possessing all kinds of talents?
The one-armed painter turned to Lindsey:
"Lindsey, what's the situation outside?"
Lindsey, who was looking at the map at that moment, replied without hesitation:
"What else could it be? It's chaotic out there."
"Dangerous creatures are running rampant, and we..."
Before Lindsey could finish his sentence, a dark and robust figure burst out from the nearby waterway, swiftly approaching the Boat Rental Shop from underwater.
The map displayed a symbol of hostility in red, and Lindsey instantly drew his 【Iron Horn Great Bow】, aiming at the shadow beneath the water and firing an arrow.
Boom! The waterway erupted with intense blue splashes.
A long, sturdy sea snake twisted and flipped, floating on the surface, already dead.
The arrow Lindsey shot was attached to molten lava, directly piercing the monster from head to abdomen, creating a tunnel through its body!
【Black Tide Island Sea Snake: 1/20】
Lindsey glanced at his hunting journal and then spread his hands to Alarson:
"See? We still have a place we can defend."
"There are these situations all over the city. The best thing to do is confirm the location of the Plague of Corruption and then quickly..."
Suddenly, a violent tremor shook the entire city.
The waters outside the ship rental shop also began to surge violently, smashing the docked rental boats onto the surrounding streets, with wooden debris scattering everywhere!
In an instant, the usually stable Thousand Sails City.
At this moment, it felt like a hammock hanging between two palm trees, making it impossible for anyone to stand.
Alarson braced himself against the wall beside him and shouted:
"Lindsey!"
Lindsey steadied himself and flipped over, rushing outside:
"You protect Selena, I'll go take a look!"
"..."
A thunderous roar echoed through the heavens and earth.
When Lindsey reached the street and saw the situation in the distance, he was momentarily speechless.
"Stone statue!"
"It's moving! Who's going to stop it!"
"This is perfect, this is the scene I wanted, the ugliness of humanity must shine during the apocalypse!"
The street was in chaos.
It was unclear which Illusory Dream's influence this was.
The colossal statue that had been standing in the Orange Zone suddenly came to life!
The several-thousand-meter-tall stone statue began to move.
As it swayed its body, the city shook along with it.
The massive stone fist slammed down, punching a huge hole in the city and sending a section of the district into the sea, creating a massive crater.
The seawater surged in, flowing inland.
It flooded the surrounding buildings like a tsunami.
"..."
Lindsey licked his lips.
Although his face was wet from the surging seawater, he felt dry at this moment.
"That thing just punched..."
"Even a dragon beast in the Black Mountains would probably be turned into mud..."
The several-thousand-meter-tall statue's massive form and its terrifying weight of several billion tons.
Even without any Source Essence skills, this punch was like an asteroid colliding with Earth, a shocking sight.
Only Awakened beings of the 7th Stage or higher, or those with certain special abilities, could withstand such a strike.
With Lindsey's experience, he truly couldn't think of anything that could stop the stone statue's rampage.
Hoo—
At this moment, Lindsey saw the stone statue raise its hands and stretch them high into the sky.
Roar—
The sculptor had not crafted any vocal organs for it.
Its silent roar, however, echoed eerily throughout the city, causing everyone to feel anxious and confused, as if a great calamity was about to befall them!
"..."
Lindsey flipped back into the ship rental shop.
Alarson held Selena close, and he painted a curtain to block the door, preventing seawater from flooding into the shop.
Lindsey tried to make his tone less frightening:
"There's some good news and bad news."
Alarson gave a bitter smile:
"It's come to this..."
"Just say it, what kind of monster has appeared in this world?"
Lindsey jumped in:
"The bad news is that the stone statue in the Orange Zone has moved."
"The good news is that it's still some distance from our location in the Blue Zone, so it won't threaten us for now."
Alarson's expression seemed like he could swallow an entire elephant:
"The statue... moved?"
"If that thing goes berserk, who in the city can stop it?"
Alarson suddenly recalled Lindsey's various displays:
"Lindsey, your skills..."
Lindsey shook his head firmly:
"I can't either."
A more intense roar reverberated.
The chairs and tables inside the ship rental shop all toppled, and the building's frame shook.
Lindsey had no choice but to go out and check again.
As expected, the stone statue was moving.
It took just two steps to the south, crossing the Orange Zone and reaching the Purple Zone.
"As long as it doesn't come to the Blue Zone..."
Lindsey's words were cut short as his expression changed:
"No, its route is heading straight towards us!"
"And it's going to pass by the exit of the Illusory Gate!"
