Chapter 237: Concerns About Not Killing

The dragon beast's attention has been cast on this land.

Although they still had doubts, Lindsay and Hong did not hesitate and embarked on the journey away from here.

In front of the two of them, the entire Crystal Valley became a thing of the past.

In the underground world a few hours ago, whether it was the leader of the six-stage lizard dragon or other underground races active here, they all disappeared under the brute force.

There was no way the two of them would put themselves in such a dangerous situation.

They left here at lightning speed, and they couldn't help but feel worried on the way.

Once the dragon beast attacks them...

However, just as they left the underground, the dragon beast's everything-destroying attack arrived.

They were not attacked on the subsequent journey.

After more than a month of progress in Qianshan Stone Forest, Lindsay and Hong's journey returned to a stable routine again.

There is no attack from dragon beasts to threaten them.

…

"It's winter, maybe spring..."

There was another towering stone forest, where Lindsay set up camp alone while Hong went out hunting.

In the Crystal Valley, he used up the stones he had accumulated in desperation.

This results in a blurred record of time.

The dragon beast's ability also causes the temperature in the Black Mountain world to be abnormal, which is basically not affected by seasonal changes.

So it becomes quite difficult to judge the exact time.

Now that Lindsay was very good at setting up a camp, he picked up a stone as usual, recycled it and stored it. Then he took out various materials from his bag and built a simple outdoor hut.

"call--"

Lindsay breathed a sigh of relief.

With his physical strength, doing this kind of work is not considered strenuous at all. This kind of stretching is more like a habit engraved in the body's memory.

Turning around and taking the cushion, Lindsay lit the fire and took out her radar.

[Strange Object/Material: Handheld Radar]

[After equipping it, the perception ability will be improved; every ten seconds, the handheld radar will automatically check the surrounding terrain; it can also be used as material to make other props. 】

[Excellent reconnaissance equipment, moderate value. 】

After performing the second level of synthesis.

The new radar becomes an automatic type and does not even require hearing.

Compared with large-scale detection on maps, radar detection is better at small and precise detection. After Lindsay has set up camps, he will conduct separate detections.

"Um……"

"There are only scattered monsters nearby, and there are no dangers on the terrain."

"That's it for today."

Lindsay put away the [Handheld Radar] and subconsciously looked at the workbench on the attribute bar.

[Handheld Radar] also has subsequent synthesis formulas.

And it's the kind that Lindsay cares about very much.

[1 handheld radar + 1 weather forecaster + 1 permanent magnetic compass = sky compass]

"Synthetic route of the sky compass..."

Lindsay murmured.

The subsequent synthesis of the forest brooch requires [Sky Compass] and [Tide Conch], and now the former is finally somewhat visible.

It is unknown where the [Weather Forecaster] was obtained, but the [Permanent Magnetic Compass] has its clues.

Lindsay had already synthesized the compass in Hidden Frontier.

The corresponding formula is as follows.

[1 compass + 1 eternal magnet = permanent magnetic compass]

In Lindsay's impression, permanent magnets in the usual sense are actually just a relatively one-sided term.

Permanent magnets are only capable of retaining their magnetism for long periods of time under appropriate conditions.

But once the time is too long, or under some special conditions, they will also lose their magnetism.

It is not permanently demagnetized in the true sense.

"In this world, will the eternal magnet have real permanent magnetism?"

Lindsay's experience told him that this should be a mineral affected by the source of matter.

If he could reach a large human city, he might be able to obtain this material by purchasing it directly without having to prospect for mines.

At this time, some subtle sounds sounded from outside the camp.

Lindsay's current perception can clearly capture these weak information.

Pat-ta-ta-

Continuous footsteps.

Sa——

The sound of feathers blowing in the wind.

call--

Breathing softly, without rush.

With the help of the [Puzzle Game] ability, important clues are separated from the cluttered background sounds.

He understood that Hong was back.

You can even guess what kind of prey the girl who went out hunting caught today:

"Hong, are we eating roasted bird meat again today?"

Hong skillfully pushed open the camp door:

"Your ears are getting pointier."

She sat down on the ground, and the steel spear with the pheasant hanging on it was thrown over, and the prey end stopped exactly in front of Lindsay.

When the wood poison javelin kills prey, it will be infected with the poison.

So Lindsay made a special iron spear for Hong to use for hunting.

Lindsay handled the body skillfully and prepared dinner for the two of them today, while Hong began to talk about her current thoughts:

"It seems that the dragon beast doesn't take us seriously at all?"

"We have been running away for more than a month, and we haven't seen any other reaction from the guy."

Lindsay replied seriously:

"The power of the dragon beast comes from that underground cave."

"But, Red, you once fought with the Righteous One in the cave and were even killed by him."

Of course Hong understood what Lindsay meant.

She had no intention of discussing it tactfully, but asked directly:

"You mean, the dragon beast is coveting some kind of power in me?"

"That's impossible!"

"That guy had been imprisoning me in a swamp far away from the Black Mountain. If it really coveted my existence, it would have no reason to throw me so far away!"

Linsey nodded slightly.

He had a guess in his mind.

But seeing Hong's eyes staring at the campfire, thinking of the journey and adventure of the two for more than half a year, he really couldn't say it.

But the fact is.

In addition to her impulsive personality, Hong is also very smart. She immediately came to a new conclusion.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes wide.

She supported the ground with both hands and lay in front of Linsey, their faces almost touching:

"Wait! Linsey, I think of a possibility!"

"Maybe the power obtained by the dragon beast is related to me. The reason why it treats me like this may be because my death will cause it to lose power?"

"..."

What Hong said was also the result of Linsey's previous guess.

I guessed it.

Linsey sighed in his heart.

Then he pushed Hong back to the ground and sat down. Since the other party could also think of this, he had no worries:

"If this inference is true, the dragon beast certainly does not want you to get into trouble, so it sealed you up secretly."

At this time, Lindsay thought of the experience in the swamp.

The underground volcano caused by the dragon beast is not hot enough to burn the Absolute Source Ice Jade, and will only bury Hong underground.

This point is completely consistent with the speculation.

Sitting honestly in front of the campfire, Hong also continued to speculate along the line of thought:

"If it's just like this, it's enough for it to seal me up, there's no need to take me to such a faraway place."

Lindsay continued to nod:

"I think it's because there are things near the Black Mountain that can really threaten it. It doesn't want your biggest weakness to be exposed, so it transported you to the other side of the world."

The fairy girl in the Starlight Forest complained about one thing before she died.

——The dragon beast was threatened by humans and had to make many changes against his will, such as its choice to break through the eighth stage in a hurry.

Hong's attention was completely shifted to another aspect.

Her tone was even a little happy:

"But in this case, can't we just rush straight to Black Mountain?"

"Anyway, the dragon beast will definitely not dare to let me die!"

Linsey retorted without hesitation:

"As long as it is an intelligent creature, it will find a way to protect or eliminate its own weaknesses."

"You can't guarantee that it hasn't found a way to solve your hidden danger."

"Running to Black Mountain like this recklessly may really be a smooth road, but it may also be a trap."

At this time, the barbecue on the campfire was just finished, and Linsey handed over the dinner.

Hong took it and took a big bite:

"But if you don't try the challenge, but wait to die obediently in the same place, then you have given up the right to fight hard!"

"Lindsay, you are not thinking of running away, are you?"

"You should eat yours!" Linsey rolled his eyes unceremoniously. He glanced at the [Glorious Bullet] in his bag, and his tone was no less resolute, "Why do you think I came here?"
