Chapter 696: Double Harvest
Chapter 696: Double Harvest
Within seconds, Lindsey and Alice emerged from the flames, their faces covered in soot and ash. The firebird's body was almost entirely consumed, leaving behind only the raging inferno.
The good news was that Lindsey's reaction had been swift.
Working together, they managed to retrieve two valuable items from the firebird's remains.
First, Lindsey obtained:
[Material: Firebird's Heart]
[Consuming it grants a chance to acquire Pyrokinesis; can also be used as a material for crafting other items.]
[A six-stage fire beast's heart, highly valuable.]
Lindsey was proficient with the synthesis system.
He immediately placed the Firebird's Heart into the workbench and quickly found the corresponding synthesis formula:
[1 Firebird's Heart + 1 Advanced Flame Gem + 3 Sunday Essence = Phoenix Heart]
"..."
"This is the beauty of adventure!"
"We collected the necessary materials along the way."
Lindsey smiled with confidence.
He had all the required materials and proceeded with the synthesis:
[Material: Phoenix Heart]
[Consuming it grants a chance to acquire Phoenix Bloodline; can also be used as a material for crafting other items.]
[A heart imbued with the flame of immortality, highly valuable.]
"Phew—"
"Finally, another great find."
[1 Beast Heart + 1 Dragon Heart + 1 Giant Whale Heart + 1 Feathered Serpent Heart + 1 Phoenix Heart = Giant Beast Heart]
Lindsey examined the synthesis list.
He only lacked a Feathered Serpent Heart to complete the five materials needed for the Giant Beast Heart.
The strength of the materials matched the corresponding equipment's effects.
Lindsey was confident that the Giant Beast Heart, once synthesized, would far surpass ordinary equipment!
As for Alice, who had also ventured into the flames, she stood by Lindsey's side, holding a beautiful feather shaped like flames. Her tone conveyed both appreciation and admiration for Lindsey's skills:
"Interesting."
"This feather contains an exceptionally powerful flame energy."
Since only one module could be used, the Righteous One girl could sense the feather's uniqueness but couldn't access detailed information.
"Creating modules is quite exhausting."
"Save some essence, let me help you appraise it."
Lindsey reached out, and Alice handed over the feather.
[Material: Flame Feather]
[A perfect feather imbued with intense flame power; can be used as a material for crafting other items.]
[After a firebird's death, its body self-immolates, making this material rare and highly valuable!]
Lindsey introduced the attributes of the Flame Feather while examining the synthesis list on the workbench:
[1 Flame Feather + 1 Advanced Wood + 1 Advanced Beast Sinew + 2 Sunday Essence = Blazing Archer]
[1 Flame Feather + 1 Advanced Wood + 1 Advanced Beast Sinew + 2 Sunday Essence = Blazing Archer]
[1 Flame Feather + 1 Dragonwood + 1 Millennium Essence + 1 Clear Water + 1 Glass Bottle = Rapid Regeneration Potion]
Lindsey informed Alice of the synthesizable items.
Meanwhile, he returned the Flame Feather to her.
Although Lindsey had provided the module, the beast was slain by their combined efforts, and he had no intention of claiming all the rewards.
However, Alice refused to accept it:
"Lindsey, this is something your skill created. I merely assisted; it doesn't belong to me."
Lindsey didn't retract his hand:
"If you're so generous, I'd feel guilty."
Alice's gray eyes met Lindsey's:
"Lindsey, you saved my life!"
"And we, who are about to traverse the entire Dust Path World, should ensure that the right items are in the hands of those who can make the best use of them. That's what we should strive for."
Lindsey didn't insist further and accepted the Flame Feather.
But there was more.
He paused and turned his attention back to the burning flames behind him.
"..."
Without a word, Lindsey stepped back into the scorching fire and retrieved a bird's egg, formed from the condensation of life essence.
(End of Chapter)In the vast expanse of the Dust Path World, Lindsay and Alice find themselves in a realm unlike any other they've encountered. The world is composed of floating islands, each suspended in mid-air and separated by vast distances. The sky above is obscured by a thin membrane, while the depths below are an abyss of absolute darkness, as if space itself has been distorted.
Lindsay, intrigued by this unique landscape, learns from Alice that it was once a world on the brink of destruction. An ancient war shattered the land, leaving countless creatures in peril. In a desperate attempt to save the world, a Righteous One intervened, reshaping the spatial rules and creating the floating islands they see today.
The name "Dust Path World" is not a literal description of its appearance but holds a deeper meaning. According to Alice, the vast distances between the islands made travel nearly impossible for ordinary people and Awakened ones alike. A powerful individual, possibly named after the world, created pathways connecting these islands, leaving behind a network of roads as a memorial.
As they approach the edge of their island, Lindsay looks down, only to find an endless void, even with the aid of equipment like telescopes. The bottom of this world seems to defy the very concept of space. Alice shares a legend from the City of Law, suggesting that the abyss below might be connected to the Sea of Lost Paths.
Continuing their exploration, Lindsay and Alice encounter a perplexing situation. Despite seeing another island just a few hundred meters away, they can't find a path to reach it. Their shared past experiences lead them to a chilling realization: "The roads here, like the connections in the previous world, have been destroyed... the work of the Corrupters!"
