Chapter 792: Mark and Pursue
Chapter 792: Mark and Pursue
Lindsey rushed forward, charging into the massive tornado that connected two worlds. Suddenly, a force within the surrounding airflow pulled him upwards, lifting him off the ground.
Realizing this, Lindsey retracted the flight ability of the Freedom Seal and allowed the tornado to carry him away.
In just a few seconds, he covered an incredibly long distance in the wind.
Finally, he felt his body being tossed upwards by the airflow, and then he broke free from the tornado's control, falling freely downward.
Thud—
In almost an instant, Lindsey's feet touched solid ground again.
He looked around, and the first thing he saw was a vast and desolate land, even more expansive and barren than the Dust Path World. As far as his eyes could see, there were only wild grasses and short trees.
Behind Lindsey, there was a cliff.
The inter-world tornado was located just four to five meters below the cliff. If he took a few more steps forward, he would immediately be sucked back by the airflow and fall into the Dust Path World below.
"This is actually better; it's much more convenient than the other world connections."
"No need to climb mountains or travel long distances; just jump in, and you'll be pulled right in, saving a lot of energy!"
Lindsey shook his head and smiled.
He looked towards the east, where better news awaited him.
The black blood that the Feathered Serpent Demon had spilled from its wound marked the ground, tainting the desolate land.
Through this method, Lindsey had arrived in the ancient world of the City of Law.
The Feathered Serpent Demon was still within his line of sight, not too far away.
But in that short time, the demon had already gained some distance.
The Feathered Serpent Demon was indeed faster than Lindsey.
Continuing the pursuit now would make it difficult to catch up, especially since Lindsey's flight state required the support of his equipment.
The Freedom Seal has a duration limit!
"..."
"It's time to change tactics."
Lindsey wasn't optimistic about the current situation.
However, his hands moved swiftly, and as he searched through his backpack while chasing the demon, he quickly found an item he had obtained a long time ago.
[Anomaly: Hunting Mark 3/3]
[Consumes a use to mark a target. Before the target's death, you can ignore obstacles to confirm the target's location for one day. Remaining uses: 3]
[Achievement item, possesses the magical ability to mark a target.]
"This is just perfect!"
This item was obtained in the Black Mountain World while hunting bird-like magical beasts.
A smile crept onto Lindsey's face.
He drew his bow and fired an arrow towards the Feathered Serpent Demon.
The arrow broke through the sound barrier and quickly caught up to the demon, affixing the Hunting Mark onto its body.
At the same time, a red mark lit up on Lindsey's map.
A target-like ring constantly pointed towards the demon's location.
Even if the demon fled to another world, Lindsey could still find its location within 24 hours using the power of the mark!
"Now, I'll just walk and take some time to recover my condition."
"Without my pursuit, the Feathered Serpent Demon might find a place to rest, making the chase even easier."
"Now that the Mythic Arrow has damaged its divinity and the Law Paladin has destroyed its magical beast essence, the subsequent battles will be a complete rout."
"But... it's a desperate fight."
With the situation looking favorable, Lindsey reminded himself to stay cautious.
A cornered beast is at its most dangerous! After placing the Hunting Mark, Lindsey no longer worried about the demon escaping his perception range, so he took the time to observe his surroundings.
In the world of 【City of Law】, the border is a vast plain. Looking far into the east, one can barely make out the silhouette of distant mountains against the horizon.
Linsey activates the 【Athletic Sprint】 module. With perfect control over his body and movement, he advances towards the Feathered Serpent. His flight ability is still on cooldown, so he equips the 【Freedom Seal】, and the ground beneath him immediately begins to restore his stamina.
Along the way, he starts planning his pursuit strategy: "Running on the ground is slower, but it's not impossible."
"By pursuing like this, I can save the flight time of the 【Freedom Seal】 for crossing mountains, which will optimize my travel time to the greatest extent."
As Linsey organizes his pursuit plan, he also opens the map.
Something even more intriguing happens as the 【Strategic Map】 and 【Hunting Mark】 exhibit a deeper level of interaction! The Feathered Serpent's 【Hunting Mark】 moves forward.
But not only does it mark the location, the map also reveals a straight path!
The Feathered Serpent has inadvertently helped him uncover the war fog on the map! "Is this some kind of hidden setting?"
With the Feathered Serpent's 'help', Linsey's mood improves. However, after chasing for a while, he senses a new, unignorable power behind him.
"This power... a Law Paladin?"
"It's that guy from before!"
Linsey feels a powerful force approaching. He turns around and indeed, the boy who had fought the Feathered Serpent in the 【Dust Path World】 has caught up.
The boy demonstrates an incredibly mysterious technique. With each step, he effortlessly covers hundreds of meters, appearing beside Linsey in the blink of an eye.
The boy waves at Linsey and greets him with a smile: "Hey, friend, you guys are running so fast!"
"I'm the only one who can't fly!"
"I've been thinking that maybe I should study the laws and powers related to flight!"
"..."
Linsey is speechless.
To be cautious, he checks the map again.
Seeing that the boy's attitude remains friendly, Linsey responds, "That guy must die, and..."
Before Linsey can finish his sentence, the boy shows a completely different attitude from before:
"I understand, I understand!"
"We can ask more questions later, but for now—let me help you take down that big snake first, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"..."
Linsey is taken aback by the boy's sudden change.
However, since the boy has no ill intentions and exists on a different timeline, having no connection to Linsey's present, he accepts the offer:
"Then, thank you."
Linsey's honesty makes the boy very happy. He follows alongside Linsey, asking, "So, tell me, what's your grudge against it?"
"A Seventh Stage existence isn't simple; no one would choose to fight such a being for fun, right?"
Linsey replies seriously, "That thing established a heretical faith, endangering the world's safety. Don't you think it deserves to die?"
The boy's expression changes: "Then I was right to take action."
"I won't ask further. But what's with the chaotic aura surrounding you and your companions?"
Linsey thinks for a moment and realizes what the boy is referring to:
"I think I understand what you mean."
"Perhaps it's because both I and the Feathered Serpent are not of this era, which is why you sense that kind of aura?"
