Chapter 769: Nature's Spirit
Chapter 769: Nature's Spirit
Before him stood the Hurricane Fortress, as described by the Storm Elemental.
Was this the same phenomenon he had heard of, or a different entity with the same name?
Click!
Lindsey reached for his pocket, capturing the awe-inspiring sight high above, untouched by any human, in a single frame.
Simultaneously, on the map, he confirmed that this ancient elemental being was marked as a friendly green.
"So, it's directly friendly?"
"Ordinary Storm Elementals are usually neutral upon first meeting, but here, they seem even more amicable."
Lindsey was perplexed. He promptly opened the friends channel.
Lindsey: [Alice, do you know about the oldest elemental being in the Dust Path World?]
Alice: [Yes, it's an extremely ancient existence. But it usually stays high in the Dust Path World, rarely interacting with anyone.]
Alice: [Wait! The thing causing the spatial anomaly is in the hands of that elemental lifeform. Have you found it?]
Lindsey: [Seems like I got here first.]
Lindsey ended the call.
At this moment, the Storm Elemental carrying them had also arrived at the Hurricane Fortress.
The fierce gales raged in the sky.
The terrifying sound alone was like a typhoon, capable of tearing apart everything in its path.
Before Lindsey, the clue radiance began to reveal information.
[Elemental Being - Wind Attribute... Details unclear...]
The reconnaissance skill provided intermittent information, eventually cutting off entirely.
The Hurricane Fortress not only possessed formidable power but also disrupted intelligence-gathering with the very air currents that formed it!
The Storm Elemental carrying Lindsey and Arona surged upward.
Nearby hurricanes seemed to consciously circumvent them, without affecting the Hurricane Fortress's operation.
Lindsey blinked.
As he pierced through the hurricane layer, the information before him gradually became clearer.
A voice, sounding both light and aged, tore through the hurricanes surrounding them:
"Humans?"
"You've brought two humans to investigate. They witnessed the return of that evil beast!"
Lindsey immediately responded:
"Yes, we saw that Feathered Serpent emerge from the cloud sea! We watched it head east, eventually disappearing into the horizon!"
Whoosh!
As Lindsey finished, the surrounding airflow intensified.
The elemental being within the Hurricane Fortress communicated with the Storm Elemental carrying Lindsey and Arona. After a brief exchange, Lindsey suddenly felt a chill, and the surrounding airflow stilled.
He was locked in a gaze.
The elemental being within the Hurricane Fortress was staring at him, and a surprised voice echoed in the wind.
The next moment, several Storm Elementals were expelled from the Hurricane Fortress.
If one looked up, all the elemental beings within the fortress were blown out by powerful airflow, like dandelion seeds drifting from their stems.
After a few breaths:
Inside the Hurricane Fortress, only Lindsey and Arona remained suspended in the air, surrounded by gentle breezes, as if cradled by a giant, gentle hand.
"..."
Lindsey's prepared speech abruptly halted.
He glanced around; the Hurricane Fortress, which had been filled with the sound of gusting winds just a moment ago, was now eerily quiet.
The surrounding hurricanes emanated power.
The sounds from inside and outside the Hurricane Fortress were completely cut off!
"A familiar ancient breath, a blessing from the earth."
At this moment, the voice of the elemental being sounded again.
But the weariness in it was swept away, leaving only a light and joyful tone:
"Young man, I'm glad to see a new friend here!"
"And the power hidden within you, it should be the flag that ends the war and brings peace back to the earth, right?"
As the elemental being spoke, Lindsey's clue information finally calmed down.
【Nature's Spirit - The pinnacle of elemental beings, formed by the gathering of all possible free winds.】
— Nature's Spirit.
— The pinnacle of elemental beings.
Upon seeing these descriptions, Lindsey pulled out his achievement title.
【Mountain's Blessing: Enhances perception of earth element and increases initial affinity with earth-type elemental life.】
Before leaving the Hidden Frontier.
His encounter at the bottom of the volcano resurfaced at this moment.
Lindsey's guard gradually faded, and a genuine smile appeared on his face:
"This blessing comes from Sudobochemon."
"In the healing Element Realm, I met him and received a lot of help."
As Lindsey spoke, the surrounding airflow gradually gathered in front of him, forming a rough human shape.
Before the outer appearance was formed.
A gentle breeze blew across Lindsey's face, and then the airflow condensed into the image of a young and beautiful maiden.
A pleasant voice sounded from her:
"It's him, my old friend."
The Nature's Spirit, now in human form, suddenly pointed at her own face:
"How is it?"
"After so many years, my aesthetics shouldn't be too different from humans, right? Am I considered a maiden?"
"..."
The Nature's Spirit directly brought her face close to Lindsey.
The girl's appearance was flawless, with sky-blue eyes revealing a lively and playful spirit. No flaws could be found in her face, whether in appearance or demeanor.
The gentle breeze that had caressed him earlier was her way of confirming Lindsey's gender.
For a young human male, Nature's Spirit had shaped herself into the form of a maiden. As they conversed, her words and actions were filled with the lightheartedness and cheerfulness unique to wind elementals:
"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like me?"
"I'm quite satisfied with this form. It's the appearance of an artist from many years ago!"
Lindsey stared at the 'maiden' before him.
After some thought, he cautiously replied:
"You're beautiful, but I didn't expect your personality to be so... lively?"
Hearing this, Nature's Spirit lightly placed her hands behind her head, her face radiant with a smile:
"Of course I'm lively!"
"It's the same for both of us to recover, but Sudobochemon is trapped underground, and his brain might get crushed! But me? I'm up in the air, enjoying the breeze, so it's a different situation, right?"
Nature's Spirit spoke rapidly.
As soon as she finished describing her state, she continued in rapid-fire, changing the question multiple times within a single sentence:
"Oh, right, the Element Realm! You came all the way from such a distant place, it must have been tough. How's Sudobochemon doing? And the Human Wisdom Codex... never mind that! The immediate concern is that awakened Feathered Serpent! Tell me, how did that guy wake up? The seal I personally placed shouldn't be so easy to break!"
