Mountains Crumble, Earth Splits
Things unfolded like a whirlwind, and everything changed dramatically in an instant.
Linsey had a feeling.
It's as if I pushed the first domino myself.
Upon entering the Underground World, they encountered Lizard Dragon and were abducted to the Salt River by Eyeless People. Sensing that things had changed, the two sides launched a war.
Changes came one after another.
The Eyeless People and Lizard Dragon, who had maintained a fragile balance, thus began a new war.
boom--
Soon, the Salt River beneath Linsey's feet began to crack.
The Eyeless People elder who jumped in used his unique ability to manipulate the earth and rocks, and collided head-on with the raging winds that were raging there.
The once pitch-black world was completely engulfed by the deafening crash and the surging of things.
Waves of impact swept in like a continuous tsunami, making it difficult for ordinary people to even stand up!
"..."
"Who should I talk to about cooperation matters?"
Linsey on the Salt River was speechless.
He straddled the ground, slightly bent his knees, and used his hands to maintain his balance.
Although the ground was shaking and vibrating, he remained firmly on the Salt River, just like a surfer riding a surfboard.
Linsey glanced around.
The Salt River collapsed, Eyeless People who originally lived there cried out in agony.
With their enhanced hearing and physical strength, some managed to escape the vicinity, but most of the Eyeless People perished in the aftermath of the fighting.
As for the battle between these two Sixth Stage powerhouses...
"Unless a single blow can decide the outcome."
Linsey immediately made a judgment.
The Eyeless People elder was stronger than the Lizard Dragon Leader, and with its control over the thick earth and rocks, it could completely resist the Lizard Dragon Leader's fierce winds.
But this is only the surface.
Linsey had just witnessed the injuries of the Eyeless People elder.
That was a check left behind by the Dragon Beast, which also caused the Eyeless People elder to be in extremely poor condition, to the point that he was practically at his last gasp.
"If this drags on, the Lizard Dragon will definitely win!"
Eyeless People elder is defeated...
When Linsey thought about why she was here, her head suddenly felt like it was about to explode.
"Perhaps these Lizard Dragon, overjoyed at the victory in the war, will release me?"
Even Linsey herself found this possibility laughable.
He shook his head and began to jump off the Salt River. His figure rose and fell a few times before he was almost on the ground.
Let's pull up the map again.
Linsey quickly spotted a tunnel far from the battleground.
After that, with his abilities, escaping the perilous underground cave will definitely not be a problem.
He quickly ran a couple of steps, but soon slowed down.
This halt was not due to the intense tremors caused by the battle, which prevented further progress.
But Linsey has something very important that hasn't been confirmed yet.
"I still haven't found out where Crystal Valley is!"
The truth about the sudden increase in the strength of the Dragon Beast in Crystal Valley, as revealed by the Elder Eyeless People, may also mean a better understanding of the enemy, and even an opportunity to defeat them.
Linsey came with the goal of killing the Dragon Beast.
There's absolutely no reason to let such an opportunity slip by!
Three, Linsey jumped out of the Salt River twice, his eyes quickly scanning the map, and soon identified a friendly target marked in green.
Without saying a word, Linsey rushed over.
He asked the Eyeless People, "Your elder just entrusted me to investigate Crystal Valley. Do you know where it is?"
The Eyeless People shook his head in a panic:
"Crystal Valley? That's a forbidden area, very dangerous. You'll die if you go there!"
Linsey emphasized:
"That's why your elders entrusted me with this task!"
"Tell me the location of Crystal Valley quickly, then run! It's too dangerous here!"
As it turned out, Linsey's choice to ask a Green Marker object was absolutely the right one.
The Eyeless People replied without a doubt:
"It's deeper underground to the north, a place I've never been!"
Having received the answer he wanted, Linsey released the Eyeless People, who then turned and ran away as he had warned him.
Linsey, having secured the target location, naturally...
Boom! Just then, another loud noise exploded overhead.
This sound was different from the confrontation between the fierce wind and the earth and rocks just now; it was the direct collision of some kind of real object.
Linsey looked up.
Although the cave was dark, the movement of the massive shadows allowed him to discern something amiss.
From the location of the Salt River, the soil and rocks coalesced into a spiral-shaped spearhead, piercing diagonally into the top of the cave above.
The earth resounded with a deafening roar as it was struck.
Countless rocks and clods of earth fell from above, shattering into countless ashes that completely blocked the view of all living things.
"Was this an attack from the Eyeless People Elder?"
Linsey quickly came up with more possibilities.
"The Eyeless People has a well-developed hearing, but the Lizard Dragon still has to rely on its eyes to distinguish things. The environment is undoubtedly in the favor of the Eyeless People."
This attack was likely launched by the Eyeless People Elder against the Lizard Dragon Leader.
But there is another possibility.
It had already acknowledged its defeat in its heart, so this attack was not just a last stand.
At the same time, it is also to create an opportunity for other Eyeless People to escape later!
"..."
One second they were still celebrating together, planning to defeat the Sixth Stage of the Dragon Beast.
In the blink of an eye, things have turned out this way.
Linsey naturally felt a lot of emotions.
But while Hidden Borderlands, he learned something very important—that you must take action when it matters!
Linsey turned and rushed north.
He had just learned the general direction of Crystal Valley, but he did not yet know the exact distance and depth.
We could only explore using a map while searching for a suitable route forward.
Click—click click click!
Just then, a new commotion arose at the top of the cave.
As the Eyeless People elder continued to manipulate the earth, he launched an impact.
A giant rock buried in the earth finally succumbed to the weight and broke apart from the center.
What followed was a violent collapse.
The giant rock broke in two and fell, leaving a huge hole in the top of the cave.
It connects to other caves and several tunnels above.
At that moment, it suddenly collapsed, and several lizard Lizard Dragon fell out of it, completely Ignorance and bewildered.
"Roar--"
A furious roar came from above.
Immediately afterwards, a strong airflow pressed down like a hammer, causing the entire dark underground space to sink.
This is the Lizard Dragon Leader's counterattack! Linsey immediately prepared the [Magma Crest] and [Mountains Crest] in his hands.
The conflict between these two Sixth Stage entities would be a real-world catastrophe. One manipulates the earth and rocks, while the other controls high-temperature air currents.
Linsey kept on her way while also preparing for any eventuality.
"Um?"
But just then, Linsey paused and looked up at the huge, pitch-black cave above her.
He wasn't afraid of the escalating battle.
Only within Linsey's perception.
The bats that were summoned with the staff on the ground earlier actually flew out from this cracked hole!
