Chapter 750: The Monster Siege
Chapter 750: The Monster Siege
A city? In a place where spatial teleportation is a constant threat, how can humans dare to occupy a city, fearing that they might be teleported away in their sleep, losing everything?
At this moment, Lindsey's mind was filled with countless thoughts, some of which were difficult to explain.
But the most pressing matter at hand was the rescue of the humans trapped in the town, surrounded and on the verge of collapse due to the monster siege.
Lindsey glanced at the map once more.
Confirming that the human side was predominantly marked by the symbol of friendship, green, he then drew out the Sunflame Archer and rained down a barrage of fiery arrows upon the monster horde.
Boom!
Lindsey intentionally activated the Explosive Flame effect of the Sunflame Archer.
As the arrows struck the ground, intense explosions erupted within the monster horde.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and the acrid smell of scorched flesh filled the air.
However, the monsters were also driven into a frenzy.
They faced the flames and explosions without fear, instead accelerating their attacks on the city.
"..."
At this moment, Lindsey had his reconnaissance skill activated.
He noticed that among the monsters, some of the stronger individuals were emitting a white light, and upon inspecting each one, he found their data.
Habitually, he began piecing together the clues.
The result he obtained was vastly different from past situations.
The white light of the clues converged in his field of vision, forming a thin, winding line that extended into the distant forest.
"Huh?"
Lindsey had initially planned to charge forward.
But upon witnessing this scene, he slowed his pace, enlarging the reconnaissance range on the map.
Indeed, in the direction where the white light extended, several red dots were hiding within the forest.
"..."
"Arona, you're too far away."
Lindsey offered a prompt, and the blind girl obediently took two steps back before asking, "What are you planning, Lord Lindsey?"
Lindsey's figure dashed towards the distance, and his voice slowly reached Arona's ears.
"I'm going to capture the leader first."
"Your current position is not far enough, and it's not safe. Keep moving back."
The blind girl could hear the cacophony of monster roars.
She could also hear Lindsey's voice fading into the distance.
As a follower, she sighed and continued to retreat, and with a flash in her hand, two black shields without light appeared, ready to face any potential crisis.
On the other side, Lindsey's speed was lightning-fast.
From his position to the distant forest, numerous monsters blocked his path, but regardless of their strength, there was no chance of encountering a Fifth Stage or higher among them.
And their fate was often sealed in the blink of an eye, as Lindsey's Extinction Blade cleaved them in two.
The entire process took less than two minutes.
Lindsey forcefully carved a bloody path through the monster horde, and with a double jump, he soared into the air, disappearing into the depths of the forest in the next second.
"Hmm?"
Under the shade of the trees, Lindsey raised an eyebrow.
At the end of the white light of clues, there were only three figures standing on the ground. But upon closer inspection, they appeared different from humans.
The most striking among them was the leader, whose skin was green, and whose body was covered in scaly lizard-like features.
"..."
Lindsey recalled his encounter in the Forest Courtyard.
These beings, hidden deep within the forest, were the masterminds behind the monster attacks on human settlements. They were subhumans, and their skills were peculiar.
When Lindsey arrived, he had already made up his mind to strike down the enemy with thunderous force the moment he laid eyes on them.
As he laid eyes on the three of them, a strange sense of affinity rose within him.
It was as if the three Subhumans before him were all Lindsey's close friends and family, making it impossible for them to be ruthless killers at this moment.
"Human?"
"Damn it, hand over the city!"
"Quick, strike first! Take him out!"
Two of the three Subhumans were powerful Fifth Stage individuals.
Lindsey charged forward, having received information from the monsters under their command. They were considering whether to retreat.
However, Lindsey's sudden appearance far exceeded their expectations.
As the two groups met, the three Subhumans' malicious intent rose, and the essence of their power began to flow through their hands.
The two Fifth Stage Subhumans shouted in unison:
"Forest, help me tear this enemy apart!"
Their voices merged, and the essence also flowed within the forest.
The next moment, the trees and vines around Lindsey suddenly came to life.
The entire forest remained silent.
But within a few meters of Lindsey, all the bushes, grass, and even the ground beneath his feet seemed to gain self-awareness, attacking Lindsey!
"Environmental Control."
"No, this is Dialogic Wilderness."
"The Awakened from Starhorn City, they're known for this at the Fifth Stage!"
Lindsey immediately realized and understood the professions of the three Subhumans before him.
They were all Beastmasters, a type of Awakened.
At the First Stage, they only learn animal languages; at the Second Stage, they exude a friendly aura that attracts the kindness of others; at the Third Stage, they start controlling animal partners to assist in their tasks; at the Fourth Stage, they enhance their survival abilities in nature; and at the Fifth Stage, they choose a Dialogic target, be it the sky, the earth, or a stream, and from there, develop their unique miracle abilities.
These Subhumans had chosen Dialogic targets related to the wilderness or forest.
The forest instantly became their home field.
Lindsey knew he couldn't hesitate and quickly flashed between the trees and the ground, rushing forward.
After the Athletic Sprint module reached Level 4, the Body-Mind Integration skill granted Lindsey an indescribably precise control.
Not only could he sense the changes in vines, trees, or the ground beneath his feet, but even a single leaf or a petal floating towards him would be noticed by Lindsey, and he would react!"
Under the forest's shadows, Lindsey's figure resembled both a warrior and a dancer.
Every attack failed to capture his shadow!
"Damn it!"
The three Subhumans were caught off guard and seemed at a loss. Only the middle Subhuman tried to manipulate the plants to form a barrier.
It failed.
Whoosh—
Lindsey's spear was instantly thrown.
The middle Subhuman didn't have time to react and was pierced through the head, its body falling backward, pinned to the ground.
Its two companions turned back, their eyes filled with shock and anger.
As they turned to face Lindsey, the Subhuman on the left saw a flash of black light, and its companion on the right had its head sliced off by a sword.
And it, too, felt a sharp pain in its chest and abdomen as Lindsey kicked it to the ground.
Before it could get up to counterattack, the black blade of Extinction hung over its throat.
Lindsey's cold voice rang above it:
"Now, I have a few questions for you."
"Answer honestly, or your companion's fate will be your example."
