Chapter 139 [The true face of the world]
More than a whole day.
Lindsay can dig out a cube of earth with a meteorite pickaxe in two clicks.
A large flat layer with a very wide area was dug out of the mountain next to the bottom of the crater!
Not to mention all the meteorites and meteorites here were cleaned up by him.
For more than a day, he continued to consume the source of essence and opened more than thirty infinite pools here. At the same time, he inserted torches every few meters to provide sufficient lighting for the place.
Wait until the project is finally completed.
Lindsay stood at the entrance, looked around with satisfaction, and couldn't help but nodded:
"Not bad, really good!"
"Such a big project, I couldn't even think about it when I was in the sand pit when I was a child!"
That's it. , Lindsay has prepared the environment.
But as the saying goes, it is necessary to leave a way out for yourself.
So he opened the map and aimed above at the path he had carved on the crater wall.
Lindsay plans to dig tunnels at different locations in this mountain space and connect them to the spiral mine tunnels leading to the surface.
This way, even if there is a fight later.
You can also use these escape channels to quickly return to the ground.
"According to my speed, it will take about half a day..."
Lindsay calculated the time and scope, preparing to continue to create his own favorable terrain.
But at this moment, the calculations in his mind suddenly stopped.
It wasn't that there was a problem with his project, or that a crisis suddenly broke out around him.
But on the map in the properties panel, Lindsay discovered that he saw a special scene.
Directly below the crater, there is a huge cavity!
Considering his current location, that is to say, there is a hidden space hidden under this mountain range at the edge of the world!
At this moment, Lindsay first thought of [Purple Leaf Vine with Branches].
After all, this only item was found from a location also hidden at the edge of the world.
But then, Lindsay remembered something else.
He once saw a record on the first draft of the expedition's map.
A member named Saka once found a crack in the ground beside a river that led to an unknown underground space. His companions also stated that there was live wind there.
According to this statement.
This huge cavity hidden under the mountains may also be related to the discoveries of the previous expedition team.
"There is a cave underground in the hidden border... Wait, something is wrong!"
Lindsay just wanted to sigh.
But another question soon ran into his mind.
There is such a huge hole in the ground. When this meteorite fell a hundred years ago, it should have directly penetrated the surface and collapsed.
Why did it stop at only a few dozen meters?
All the memories since arriving at the hidden frontier came flooding back.
Endless mysteries emerged, and various hypotheses and speculations competed in Lindsay's mind.
Why did the huge meteorite fall to the ground not have a huge impact on the entire world; the earth is constantly growing at the edge of the world; the hidden border does not conform to the ancient records of the edge of the world...
Such complex thinking led to a result.
New words began to appear on his taskbar.
[The true face of the world]
[The hidden border world itself seems to have secrets. It does not seem to be the border of the universe. Try to unlock its secrets. ]
[Task reward: Choose one of the four elemental emblems, and a large amount of attribute/skill experience points. ]
"..."
"The true face of the world?"
Lindsay's heart surged when she saw the new information on the taskbar.
There is an urge to immediately explore the truth.
But thinking about the current situation in the town, he still forced himself to calm down.
"Judging from the mission rewards, exploring the so-called truth of the world will definitely not be an easy task. No one knows how long it will take." The
current situation of the crater.
For the border town that has taken care of Lindsay for more than three years and taught him all kinds of knowledge, it is definitely the most important thing.
Even if you really want to explore the secrets. At least we should inform the town about the news here in the crater, and at the same time use the [Brilliant Bomb] in our hands to deal with the dragon beasts in the Black Mountain World.
"Now is not the time for me to explore the truth..."
Phew -
at this moment, Lindsay suddenly found that the cave he dug was much brighter.
Even the outline of his shadow on the wall in front of him became clearer.
Sudden light!
"I didn't insert a new torch, how could it become so bright?"
Lindsay had a bad premonition in her heart.
He turned to look behind him.
Sure enough, he started digging the entrance of the cave.
A bright yellow-white flame came in from here at some point!
Look at the map.
The red symbol of hostility is clearly marked on the opposite side!
I don’t know whether to call it bad luck or inevitable.
The elemental creatures that were already extremely active at the bottom of the crater and running around unexpectedly got into this space by chance!
"It's broken. I haven't dug the escape tunnel yet!"
Lindsay cursed with a rather ugly expression.
But he accepted the reality very quickly. He had put away the meteorite pickaxe in his hand and replaced it with his own weapon.
Life with the element of fire is born with a violent and fiery personality.
When it got into the cave dug by Lindsay, it was immediately made uncomfortable by the water vapor produced by dozens of infinite pools around it.
But it happened at this time.
It found Lindsay carrying a hoe again, preparing to dig an escape tunnel.
boom!
A ball of flame burst out from the body surface of this elemental creature.
Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball about half a meter in diameter flew towards Lindsay's position with a scorching breath.
"Fireball?!"
Lindsay saw it very clearly.
This fireball showed a bright orange-red color, and the temperature was definitely not low.
Even before he flew in front of him, the rapidly rising temperature around him made him understand the power of this attack.
Lindsay dodged and jumped to the side, preparing to avoid the fireball.
But almost at the same time, the fireball flying in the air followed Lindsay and suddenly turned around, clinging to it like a conscious hound!
"Can it also be tracked intelligently?"
Lindsay's eyes widened.
He quickly turned around and continued to dodge, but the fireball kept tracking him. Even if he turned four or five times in a row, it failed to mislead the opponent's path.
"It's endless!"
Look at the state of this elemental creature again.
The flames on its body rose again, and it was obvious that it would continue to unleash attacks!
"If this continues, it will definitely be blocked!"
The situation is deteriorating rapidly.
Even though Lindsay had just acquired the [Fire Pattern] that was immune to fire damage, the color of this fireball...
didn't look like it was below 1200°C!
At this moment, an idea flashed in Lindsay's mind, and he remembered the previous description of the attributes of the Fire Fire Spirit.
[Has the ability to sense heat]
Although the flame creature in front of me is not a meteorite.
But they are also fire-attributed elemental creatures, and they were born in the same place. Maybe the opponent's attacks also refer to this principle?
The situation is urgent.
Lindsay didn't have time to think about it. He immediately took out a fire bomb from his bag and threw it directly on the ground beside him.
boom!
In an instant, the flames contained in the bomb exploded.
The good news is, it's just as Lindsay guessed.
The tracking fireball launched by the elemental creature was immediately misdirected and detonated in advance before hitting Lindsay.
As expected, this fireball is tracked by heat perception!
