The Former Edge of the World

Realized that I got the new Game Module.

Linsey, who was walking in the town, paused in his steps.

He stood there and blinked, then reacted, then continued forward, and at the same time checked his new skills.

[Game Player open module: Survival Construction]

[Survival Construction level: 1]

[Survival Construction ability: resources]

[Resources: Convert plants, stones, soil, water flow and other materials into survival resources.

Note: Advice from a survival guru——

If you don't know what to do now, just cut down the tree.]

"..."

"Cut down a tree?"

Linsey raised his eyebrows.

The introduction of resource gathering skills is very simple.

But just this sentence about converting materials into survival resources is enough to make people think a lot.

Linsey is very curious and wants to verify the effect of his new skills immediately.

But the responsibilities he shouldered meant that he had no such free time now, so he did not stop and rushed all the way to the north.

Finally before dark, Linsey saw Lord's Manor of Anrui.

"Linsey, you are back!"

"Sorry, I have something urgent to do with Uncle Anrui!"

Along the way, other people in the town saw Linsey and greeted him one after another.

Linsey put on an apologetic smile all the way and rushed directly into the Lord's Manor.

In the study room on the second floor, he found Anrui sitting in front of the desk with a sad look on his face.

"Linsey?"

As Ascender of Fifth Stage, Anrui reacts extremely sharply.

When Linsey opened the door and came in, before he could say a greeting, Anrui asked first, "You're back."

"He was so dirty, so he ran directly to me... In such a hurry, did Black Mountain find anything over there?"

Linsey nodded solemnly. "Yes, I successfully reached the junction between here and Black Mountain World. Now it is covered by a Snowy Wasteland. I also encountered many Devil Beast climbing up from the bottom..."

Linsey recounted his experiences without daring to miss any details.

Anrui frowned and listened to Linsey's experience.

Then he closed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, apparently thinking about the meaning behind these phenomena.

Linsey is waiting quietly.

It wasn't until Anrui opened his eyes again that he asked tentatively:

"Uncle Anrui, was the junction of Hidden Borderlands and Black Mountain World covered by heavy snow from the beginning?"

Lord of Border Town shook his head. "No, there is only a wasteland there, not covered with snow."

"At least in autumn, it won't look like what you saw."

Linsey changed the question, "What about the huge Vines that connects the two worlds?"

Anrui replied bluntly:

"Those things were there from the beginning, but in my impression, they have no trace of being frozen at all, and instead grow on the edge of the two worlds like normal plants."

Having said that, Anrui didn't want Linsey to continue to be so cautious. This Lord of Hidden Borderlands got up directly from the chair, walked to the window, looked at the scene outside and said, "Linsey, I know what you are worried about."

"I can tell you accurately that just seven years ago, I personally went to the edge of the two worlds to check. At that time, the junction was still normal."

"..."

As Ascender who has been in charge of Hidden Borderlands for more than a hundred years.

Anrui's direct answer is more convincing than anyone's explanation.

Linsey confirmed the seriousness of the matter and sighed, then continued to ask for other details, "So Devil Beast of Black Mountain World, do they have the habit of migrating through World's Edge?"

Anrui shook his head:

"Crossing World Border is a dangerous and difficult activity."

"Even if it is Devil Beast, they will never rashly try to cross World's Edge, even on such a large scale, if there is no threat to their lives."

Linsey continued to ask, "About the cold wind that can freeze Devil Beast..."

This time Linsey did not need to finish the question, Anrui made a very definite judgment:

"Unheard of, this could only be a problem with Black Mountain!"

"According to my memory from more than a hundred years ago, that place was a wilderness where no humans had set foot. Devil Beast and wild animals and plants were the masters of that world."

"There have been such big changes now..."

"The only one who can create this phenomenon is Dragon Beast who occupies Black Mountain."

"..."

At this time, the study fell into silence.

Both Linsey and Anrui know the meaning behind this phenomenon.

There are indeed no more Devil Beast attacking Border Town at the moment, but as time goes by, it is probably only a matter of time before this worry becomes a reality, let alone Dragon Beast whose purpose is still unclear.

"Whether it's setting up sentries or trying to break through Black Mountain." Linsey broke the silence and proactively suggested, "Uncle Anrui, we should make some preparations!"

Anrui turned his back to Linsey and answered without hesitation, but with a heavy look of sadness on his face. "Of course, I am not in the habit of sitting still and waiting for death."

At this time, Anrui turned around.

At this moment, his eyes fell on Linsey. There was no trace of trouble in his expression, but concern for his juniors:

"But Linsey, I heard Dan say that you were injured, is there nothing wrong?"

Linsey raised his elbow and made two circles to show that everything was normal. "Life Source Material's repair ability is quite useful."

Anrui then nodded with confidence. "That's good. You've traveled all the way back. I'm afraid you're very tired now, so go back and rest first..."

"Linsey, I heard you are back too!"

At this moment, Anna also broke in from outside the study room.

The girl wore a long blue dress and walked up to Linsey nervously. Then she started to check his body without saying anything, "I heard you were injured!"

"Why don't you come back with Alan? It's such an important thing, you should at least heal your injuries before doing it!"

The father and daughter both expressed concern about their bodies.

Linsey felt warm in his heart, and could only make a wry smile on his face. He once again moved his arms to Anna: "It's okay. You also know that my Essence is a life type, and it has a very good effect in recovery."

"Having a strong recovery ability doesn't mean you have to ruin your body!" Anna had no intention of letting go of Linsey. She was as persistent as ever. She grabbed Linsey's collar and leaned closer. Their eyes were almost touching, "Promise me, you won't be so reckless next time!"

Facing these serious purple pupils, Linsey had no choice but to raise his hands to express surrender. "Okay, okay, I promise."

Anna is like a serious old mother who treats Linsey every step of the way.

Anrui, who was sitting behind the desk, saw this scene and had a rare genuine smile on his face. But after waiting for a few minutes, the happy smile on his face turned into bitter helplessness.

In the end, Anrui looked at Linsey who was asking for help, and had no choice but to interrupt Anna's actions, "Anna, that's it!"

"Linsey has been active in the wild for nearly a month. Let him go back and rest first."
