Chapter 805: The Beast's Heart
Chapter 805: The Beast's Heart
"Be careful! That Deviator isn't dead yet!"
Lindsey spoke up, alerting his companions to the potential danger.
He also opened his Adventure Map to scout the surrounding environment.
However, on the panel displaying the nearby terrain, besides Lindsey's own marker and the green dots representing his companions, there was nothing else in sight.
The recent battle had driven away even the slightly dangerous beasts in the mountains.
Not to mention, in the center of the altered battlefield, where the essence was slowly dissipating, there was no trace of any enemies.
...
The others beside Lindsey heard his warning and began their own reconnaissance efforts.
But their results were unanimously empty.
Nolan approached and patted Lindsey on the shoulder.
"Lindsey, rest assured, those two are definitely dead."
"With us here, there's no way an enemy could escape right under our noses."
Lindsey furrowed his brows.
He turned to Nolan, who was smiling, and shook his head earnestly.
"This isn't about being cautious; my technique has the ability to determine life and death. The Feathered Serpent is indeed dead, but the Deviator is still alive!"
Lindsey proceeded to collect materials from the corpses at the scene.
As he expected, a fresh Feathered Serpent Heart appeared in his bag, and he also recovered the Mythic Arrow that had emerged from the mythical legend after killing the enemy.
However, when he tried to collect materials from the Deviator's body, his skills failed to activate!
This further proved that the Deviator was indeed not dead.
Seeing Lindsey's unwavering conviction, the others exchanged glances. They trusted their own powerful techniques more than the judgment of a Fifth Stage Awakened.
Except for the Law Manipulator, who was different.
Nolan stared at Lindsey, putting aside his trust in techniques and choosing to believe his friend.
"If that's the case, let's do as you say."
"Lindsey, if the Deviator didn't die here, then he must be somewhere else. Where do you think he is now, and what do you think he's doing?"
Nolan asked.
The others, out of respect for the Ranger, reluctantly joined the discussion.
"The power he displayed here was undoubtedly that of a Seventh Stage."
"The dissipation of his power confirms the circumstances of a Seventh Stage Awakened's death."
"If he's not dead yet, where else should we look for him?"
"Or if we find him, how will we kill him? Will we let him escape again, like we did just now?"
The group began to discuss.
Meanwhile, Lindsey took a moment to examine the new items he had acquired.
[Material: Feathered Serpent Heart]
[Consuming it grants a chance to obtain the Feathered Serpent Bloodline; can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[The heart of a Seventh Stage Feathered Serpent, containing the power of storms. Value: ]
There was nothing more to say.
With the hearts of four legendary beasts, along with the previously synthesized Beast Heart, the requirements for the next stage of synthesis were met.
Lindsey began the process on the workbench.
[1 Beast Heart + 1 Dragon Heart + 1 Whale Heart + 1 Feathered Serpent Heart + 1 Phoenix Heart = Beast's Heart]
[Accessory/Consumable/Material: Beast's Heart]
[Equipping it increases all attributes and grants the [Heart], [Domination], and [Colossal Beast] attributes. It can also be consumed for a high chance to awaken a special Colossal Beast bloodline, or used as a material to craft other items.]
Heart: Obtains a "Beast Heart" from a different dimension, unlike ordinary Awakened individuals. As long as the blood circulation persists, each breath generates a powerful life force, simultaneously enhancing perception abilities such as hearing, smell, and vision.
Domination: The colossal size of the beast brings unimaginable dominance. When the wearer attacks or makes a move, it creates a suppression effect far beyond the strength of their peers.
Beast: Compared to ordinary beings, legendary creatures possess extremely long lifespans. The wearer's natural lifespan is extended tenfold, and aging does not weaken their attributes; instead, it enhances them.
"Time... Longevity... Power..."
Even when existing independently outside the body, the steady and powerful heartbeat indicates a valuable heart.
Boom—Boom—Boom—
Lindsey places the Beast Heart into his equipment slot.
The powerful heart instantly boosts his life force, but the change goes unnoticed by others. Only the Life Scholar, sensitive to life forces, perceives the transformation on Lindsey.
The discussion with the others abruptly halts in Tao Feng's mouth.
The Life Scholar is astonished.
How could a Fifth Stage Awakened possess such a formidable life force?
At that moment, Ben, amidst the discussion, sighs and remarks, "I truly don't understand."
"The outside world doesn't even know about my advancement; they only know I'm a Sixth Stage Awakened, a traitor. In this world on the edge of the universe, there's no apparent benefit. What could be the reason for so many people to come to such a place?"
Ben's words are casual.
But the content strikes Lindsey, and a flash of realization crosses his mind.
From Ben's perspective, these words are understandable.
Even a Seventh Stage powerhouse might not cause so many forces across the universe to exert such effort in their schemes.
But what about the reality?
The City of Law is currently unknown, but for the future, it holds a completely different significance.
Take Lindsey as an example. He came here and gave Ben a seed of Golden Sparrow Grass, which, in the future, will significantly impact the City of Law, making it abundant in barley.
As for the Abyssal forces,
These guys successfully traveled through time and appeared in this ancient era. What will they do? Of course, they will eliminate their future enemies from the very beginning, strangling them in their cradles!
"I understand; it's the City of Law!"
Lindsey reacts immediately.
Nolan, who knows Lindsey is from the future and is aware of some history, responds to this term with a change in tone, becoming unusually serious:
"You mean the city Ben established?"
The Righteous One beside him is a little confused:
"The City of Law... Well, my city is currently just a village. I have this idea, but calling it a city might be premature..."
Lindsey interrupts the future Sovereign of the Righteous Ones:
"Ben, what I mean is—the Deviator's true goal might not be to escape or win this battle but to destroy the village you're building!"
As Lindsey explains, he switches the Adventure Map to the Strategic Map.
The result is as he expected; indeed, a red dot is rushing towards the village named City of Law for a surprise attack!
