Chapter 209 Memory
"Hi, Lindsay!"
"You ran away like this, how can I get down?"
Lindsay dove into the ground, and as a result, Hong was left alone on the surface.
The girl looked at the small hole in the mound, and even dragged the unconscious Undertide Water Lizard over, and then gestured with her white palm:
"This... can I stuff my thigh into it?"
Obviously, .
Hong who doesn't have the ability to escape from the ground will definitely not be able to get down.
The girl's fiery red eyes showed unwillingness. She lay on the ground, put her ears to the ground and tried to listen.
"Bang! Boom - roar!"
Hong stood up helplessly.
I could detect some movement with my ears against the ground, but not enough to hear the situation clearly.
"It's interesting to throw me up there alone, isn't it?"
Hong patted his right cheek.
The surface of the mound was wet. She just lay down and listened, and her face was already covered with mud.
There was no way to go down and join the fight.
There's nothing else to do on the surface.
Bored, Hong's eyes wandered around, and the stars of the night fell quietly.
Dots of light fall on the Sanzhu Lake, reflecting the bright colors on the clear water, and then flowing along the ripples to create a beautiful dream.
Three huge stone pillars tower over the sky full of stars.
They are like giants leaning on each other, or like the skeleton of a palace under construction.
at the same time.
The battle underground has reached its most critical turning point.
The Gophers, who had been losing ground in the Undertide Water Lizard's sneak attacks, suddenly had the reinforcements of Lindsay, and the situation began to turn around.
In a small-scale battle. The addition of a strong man is enough to dominate the battlefield, and the number of Undertide Water Lizards is rapidly decreasing.
at the same time.
Hong, who was sitting alone on the ground, gradually focused his eyes on the nearest stone pillar.
She couldn't sense it when she was far away before, but now that she was observing carefully, she vaguely felt that there seemed to be some kind of power contained in the stone pillars.
"Essence?"
The moment the doubt arose, Hong immediately stood up from the ground.
She didn't even brush off the mud stuck to her buttocks, she rushed directly into the lake in a few steps, and walked on the starry water to reach the stone pillar.
"This feeling..."
Hong extended his hand thoughtfully.
She felt right, this stone pillar did contain source matter.
But this power is very special. It is not the kind of source matter that is dominated by humans or monsters, nor is it the kind where the source matter is integrated into natural materials and finally forms special minerals or herbs.
"This is...a power closer to the source."
Hong made a vague judgment.
In other words, she was following her intuition and understanding the stone pillar in front of her.
The knowledge the girl possesses was slowly learned during the little half a year she spent traveling with Lindsay. At this moment, I realized that the thing in front of me was special, and I couldn't think of how to deal with it for a while.
Hong stroked the surface of the rough stone pillar, rubbing the traces left by the wind and sun on his fingertips, as if he was touching the years that happened on the stone pillar with his own hands.
Buzz buzz—
at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The stone pillar was calm at first, but the essence inside it began to change.
This power began to gather towards Hong's hand, and what followed was an increase in the amount of source material.
"Huh?"
Hong frowned quickly.
This kind of thing happens to ordinary awakened people or monsters, and it is definitely a God-given adventure that increases their strength.
But she was different.
As a lost person, Hong is still in a slow recovery process. This is actually the speed that her current body can best adapt to.
The sudden increase in source quality directly put pressure on her body.
While feeling a little uncoordinated in her body, some broken pictures began to appear in Hong's mind.
The black mist that devoured everything, the earth that collapsed in the shock, the fragmented time and space with chaotic light and shadow... Scenes of bizarre scenes flashed through her mind one after another.
Hong seemed to understand something, but this memory would not remain in her mind at all, and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
What finally settled in her mind was a white light.
It seemed to be a straight thrust from a white steel sword, just like that...
"Uh-huh!"
Suddenly, an indescribable severe pain came from Hong's heart.
This is not a physical illness, but a remnant of a certain will rule, which appears with the recovery of memory.
"Damn it!"
"Get out of here!"
Hong put her right hand on her chest and roared.
In an instant, her palms separated from the stone pillar, and she took two steps back, splashing messy water.
Then...
"Huh?"
Hong blinked.
The severe pain and the emergence of memories stopped instantly. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion. Only the clothes on his body, which were wet with cold sweat, still proved what happened a second ago.
"I...the white light, is that my memory?"
Hong realized what he had just experienced.
The next second, she reached out and touched the stone pillar again, without even a trace of fear in her firm eyes.
Hong didn't care at all about the pain that seemed to tear apart a person's consciousness.
In other words, she doesn't care about all the suffering and torture in front of the goal she wants to achieve.
Snapped!
White palms caressed the stone pillars, and the surface of the rock remained rough.
"..."
"..."
However, this time, Shizhu did not respond.
Hong maintained his movements like this for a long time, and even took the initiative to penetrate his own essence into the stone pillar.
However, the ancient stone pillar in front of him has not changed at all.
The source of essence contained in it can still be sensed, but it no longer responds to Hong's movements.
"It can only work once?"
The girl bit her lips and frowned.
This was the first time she had the opportunity to contact the memories of the past after becoming an awakened person again.
Although in my mind at this moment, I only remember the white light piercing my heart.
But Hong is also very sure that continuing to increase her strength is definitely the right way for her to restore her memory!
The girl stood quietly in front of the stone pillar.
She began to think about what she should do next.
After waiting for a minute or two, he simply dragged the Undertide Water Lizard he was responsible for guarding over, sat on it like a carpet, and then slowly studied the stone pillar in front of him that brought him a turn for the better.
At the same time, the underground fighting also came to an end.
Most of the undertide water lizards that sneaked in were wiped out in the counterattack.
Although a few scattered ones managed to escape, their numbers are now dwindling and they are unable to form a population of a certain size.
After confirming the victory, Lindsay finally returned to the ground.
Beside him was a gopher with an earnest expression.
For the human being in front of him who saved his own race, the gopher's attitude could be said to be extremely flattering.
Lindsay, who returned to the ground, glanced around.
Immediately he saw Hong's figure sitting in front of the stone pillar, already lost in thought.
Lindsay immediately walked over and asked with concern:
"Hong, what are you doing?"
Hong turned around and looked over.
Without waiting for the girl to answer the question, the gopher on the side took the initiative to explain to Lindsay:
"Human, the first pillar strengthened her power."
"She must feel this greatness, so she is showing respect to the first pillar. !"
