Tunnel!

"Well, you dare to come back, huh!"

The moment she heard the sound, Red had already raised the [Wood Poison Javelin] in her hand.

She followed the bats from the surface to underground, killing many Devil Beast along the way, the most numerous of which were Lizard Dragon.

Hearing these guys' voices now, taking action is definitely the first option.

Almost simultaneously, Linsey, who was standing nearby, shivered.

The two were very close, and he could clearly feel that the Withering Power on Hong's body had been strengthened again, filled with a strong killing aura.

The bloody battle raged from the surface all the way underground.

After such an intense battle, the Essence and spirit within Hong's body were in a state of extreme excitement! "Wait a minute!"

Linsey grabbed Red's wrist and took the Meteorite Pickaxe out of his bag again.

The girl raised an eyebrow. "What, you have a plan now?"

Linsey quickly dug a large pit under her feet.

Hong did not resist. After being pulled down by Linsey, she watched as the other party filled the top with soil, completely sealing off the underground space.

Only then did she speak up and ask:

"Linsey, you're not afraid to fight those guys, are you?"

"How is that possible?" Linsey rolled her eyes in the darkness. "Red, think about what these Lizard Dragon ' purpose is?"

Without hesitation, Hong replied, "Defeat the Eyeless People and seize the Crystal Valley where we can increase our strength."

Linsey countered with, "So what do you think these Lizard Dragon are up to now?"

"..."

The pitch-black underground space fell silent, and Linsey and Red's breaths mingled as they listened to the rhythm of each other's heartbeats.

Soon, the heavy footsteps of the lizard Lizard Dragon could be heard from above.

The footsteps were hurried and chaotic, and their numbers were numerous, making it difficult to discern the details using only hearing.

Linsey opened the map and carefully counted the number of Red Marker before confirming that there were indeed 14 Lizard Dragon passing overhead!

Hong noticed this action:

"Linsey, how many have passed by?"

Linsey replied, "There are 14..."

Slap! Suddenly, Red reached out and covered Linsey's mouth.

The girl's ruby-like eyes seemed to sparkle as she gazed at Linsey from the darkness of the underground, then she shook her head.

Immediately afterwards, some light footsteps appeared.

They quickly passed through here, almost getting stuck outside the detection range of the group of Lizard Dragon ahead.

After the sound of footsteps faded away, Red removed her hand from Linsey's mouth.

"So you're hiding here so they can lead the way?"

Linsey nodded in agreement, "That's right, after all, we don't know the exact location of Crystal Valley."

"If you want to quickly confirm the location, finding some people familiar with the terrain to lead the way is definitely the fastest way."

The Map Skill clearly shows the underground structure.

Linsey increased the detection distance without losing too much accuracy.

The problem is that the underground structure of this area is extremely complex, with countless caves of all sizes.

The map doesn't specify the name of this cave or that cave.

Finding the location of Crystal Valley inevitably involves checking each location one by one, which will inevitably waste a lot of time.

But the Lizard Dragon Clan are different.

Having confronted the Eyeless People here for years, they must know what's happening underground.

Especially when the two leaders are locked in a fierce battle, fighting to the death, these Lizard Dragon have no other reason than to rush to Crystal Valley to seize the initiative.

For Linsey, this was also the most suitable guide to 'trust'.

While communicating with Red, Linsey once again swung her Meteorite Pickaxe to dig open the top of her head, and the two began to follow the 'guide' ahead.

With markers on the map as waypoints, they don't even face the risk of getting lost.

The tunnels of the Underground World are winding and twisting.

Linsey and Red quietly followed the two groups of people ahead, passing through tunnel after tunnel and hidden underground cave.

The massive battle between the two Sixth Stage caused continuous underground tremors.

Tunnels that suddenly collapsed and caves that were completely blocked were commonplace.

Even though the Lizard Dragon charging forward knew the terrain, they still had to frequently change routes in order to continue their journey.

They moved forward like this for half an hour.

Finally, in front of a cave that covered a vast area, the Lizard Dragon stopped in their tracks.

Linsey stopped almost simultaneously:

"Hong, we've arrived!"

The girl beside him immediately asked, "What do you mean? Shall we just charge in?"

Linsey then pulled out Meteorite Pickaxe, hammered it into the ground a few times, creating a large crater, and handed the Iron Pickaxe she used to use to Red:

"No, let's keep digging the tunnel."

Hong took the Iron Pickaxe, his movements somewhat exasperated.

She swung her hoe fiercely, knocking away a whole row of dirt, before finally asking Linsey:

"Linsey, we're all here now, aren't we going to make a move?"

"We're not here for a friendly trip, so there's no need to keep avoiding fighting, is there?"

Linsey pointed to the top of her head:

"It's not that I'm being overly kind."

"If we make a move and attract those Sixth Stage guys, the situation will become unmanageable."

Boom—

It almost perfectly addressed Linsey's concerns.

The earth trembled violently, and a pile of rubble and dirt fell from the tunnel where the two were.

The aftershocks of the battle showed no signs of abating.

Both beings at Sixth Stage are determined to kill each other, so this battle will obviously not gradually weaken and will only end completely after a burst of power.

Such obvious facts support Linsey.

Hong couldn't argue back, so she could only pout in dissatisfaction:

"They've been fighting for half an hour."

"Even if I were hunting on a cliff, I wouldn't waste this much time."

Linsey shrugged:

"This kind of thing just means we have less and less time."

"Save your energy and hurry up and dig the tunnel in. That's the important thing."

Boom! Another booming sound came from the surrounding area.

Linsey and Red both shut their mouths and began to work hard to dig the tunnel, each making their own assessment of their current situation.

Vibrations with increasingly higher frequencies.

This indicates that both sides in the conflict are becoming increasingly impatient, which is why they are frequently engaging in high-intensity attacks and clashes.

At that point, they will be forced to flee.

Or should he take a gamble and try to defeat the formidable enemy here? Luck seems to be on Linsey's side.

They dug tunnels in turns, advancing at a pace similar to an ordinary person taking a walk.

In less than five minutes, their markers on the map overlapped with the Lizard Dragon above.

However, just as the Eyeless People elder said.

There seemed to be some danger in Crystal Valley. The Lizard Dragon dared not enter immediately, but instead dispersed and surrounded the entire cave.

Linsey and her partner exchanged their thoughts in hushed tones:

"They're too scared to go in? If they're so timid, why did they come in such a hurry?"

"Perhaps they want to protect the spoils of victory from being stolen by others; or they may be scouting the situation; or they may be trying to resolve the dangers in Crystal Valley."

Click—

Just then, a different sound and sensation came from in front of Linsey's Meteorite Pickaxe.

He turned his head and looked.

What came into view was no longer the pitch-black underground soil.

A cluster of crystals shimmering with blue light shone brightly just beneath the Meteorite Pickaxe.
