Chapter 77: The Lake
"Lindsay, it's dangerous down there......"
Naturally, Anrui wanted to dissuade Lindsay.
But at this time, Lindsay, who was very obedient along the way, suddenly interrupted An Rui's persuasion:
"Uncle Anrui, I've been here before, and I've tried to get there."
"It was only because of the appearance of those demonic beasts and the worry about the town that I turned back and chose to inform everyone of the information as soon as possible."
"Now that I have the opportunity to go down and take a look, I can't do nothing!"
At this time, the thick fog of the night shrouded the two of them.
Anrui looked at Lindsay, his student's face was a little blurred, but a pair of determined eyes were looking at him with great clarity.
“……”
"Okay, follow me."
The warrior did not say a word of argument or persuasion.
He immediately took action, and he took the lead in leaping downward, clinging to the frozen vine with his bare hands, and as soon as he loosened his grip on his hands, he slid down a section, and his nimble figure as he descended like an ape living in the forest.
Seeing this, Lindsay also pulled out a long dagger.
He used his weapon as an ice axe as he did last time, and followed Anrui to the climbing vine.
As soon as the two of them got on and down, the landing speed was steady and swift.
at the junction of the world.
The boundless green curtain enveloped the entire land, and gusts of cold wind blew and rippled on the frozen crystal shell, stretching towards the other side of the world, as if only this superb view was left between heaven and earth.
But two tiny black dots, like the threads of a weaver, weave across the brocade cloth.
Although it is inconspicuous, it has always maintained a forward rhythm and moved towards the other side of the world.
This time, the two were lucky.
They did not encounter a group of demonic beasts in more than ten minutes like Lindsay had done when he was alone before, and the road was unharmed, only the cold wind that blew from time to time witnessed this adventure for them.
Time passed quietly.
Five hours later, the view below suddenly changed.
When the two set off, after dozens of meters away from the top of the cliff, the climbing vine gradually went deeper into a pitch-black void.
But at this time, Lindsey saw a different color below.
It was a flickering light.
It was too far away for Lindsay to see clearly, but it was as if she had sunk to the bottom of the water and then seen the sparkling water reflecting the sunlight upwards.
"Uncle Anrui, there's a light down there!"
Lindsay hurriedly reminded.
The lord looked down and saw the same sight as Lindsay.
However, unlike Lindsay, who crossed the world border for the first time, Anrui was already familiar with the situation here, so he just explained plainly:
"Good news!"
"That means we're almost there!"
Lindsay nodded slightly, but her hand couldn't help but speed up.
It's a journey across the world!
Not to mention the unknown worlds and adventures below.
The process of crossing the world alone must mean one thing - the upgrade of [RPG] ability!
Lindsey doesn't see anything wrong with her understanding of skill mods.
So when he descends to the Black Mountain World, he will definitely unlock new abilities!
A sense of anticipation then permeated my heart.
As the two of them continued downward, the darkness around them began to fade and the scene below became clear.
Lindsay was right, it was indeed a surface of water that reflected the light below.
The place where the vines have taken root is a wide area of more than 301 hectares, but the depth is generally only about 30 centimeters.
The glittering light on the lake.
Not the reflected daytime sunlight, but the stars at night.
There is a time difference between the world of Montenegro and the hidden frontier, but it is estimated that it is only about an hour. It was still night when the two set off, so the sky of the Black Mountain World had not yet dawned.
"Lindsay, be careful!"
At this time, Anrui issued a reminder.
Because on this thin and wide surface of water, there are extremely large numbers of demonic beasts of different shapes.
Among them are the Firefoxes that Lindsay has seen, and there are types that have never been seen before.
But the most striking thing is that there are a few tree spirits lying on the root of the climbing vine.
They cling to the vines.
It seems to be feeling some kind of information in the same life form as a plant.
"That's ...... so"
Lindsay realized in an instant.
He understood why the first demonic beast to enter the hidden frontier three years ago was a tree spirit. I also understood the batch of demonic beasts I encountered before, why a tree spirit threw off the large army and encountered him in advance.
Here's why!
The dryants cling to the roots of the climbing vines, feeling the situation above in a special way, and then trying to climb first in the gaps in the cold wind.
And only these tree spirits moved.
The other monsters who are watching will follow and set off!
"Original...... Well? Why is it heating up? ”
Lindsay was thinking about the problem, but suddenly realized that the temperature around her was not right.
Under the protection of the [Ice Badger Claw Pendant], he has a high resistance to cold weather, and his perception is not sensitive, but in the relatively hot temperature, he feels normal!
And now the situation is that the surroundings are heating up!
Continuing downward, the degree of temperature increase is also gradually increasing, and even ......
Click!
The long dagger in Lindsay's hand, which was used as an ice axe, also had a different touch.
What he had pierced into was no longer thick ice, but stout emerald green, reexposed to the air!
The ice on the climbing vine has melted!
With the increase in temperature
The Climbing Vine that he and An Rui were climbing, the frost on its surface gradually thinned and melted, and finally showed its original posture.
“……”
Lindsay's brow furrowed.
At the current rate, I am afraid that it is as cold as the snow field above, and the water surface below is surprisingly hot.
All the way to the bottom.
If this trend does not change, the air temperature near the water surface can even rise to more than 45 degrees!
"It's getting hot, it shouldn't be......"
This temperature change is too sudden and too drastic!
Further down, An Rui also noticed the change in temperature, and he also stared at it.
At this time, Lindsay descended to Anrui's side.
He looked down and knew that there were still problems that they needed to solve, so he immediately suggested to Anrui:
"If we want to continue to investigate the situation, we should find a way to clean up the demonic beasts below!"
was reminded by Lindsay like this, and An Rui also reacted.
After the matter of temperature, it is more important to dispose of the demonic beast in front of you first.
He nodded slightly, and let go directly at a height of more than ten meters from the water, and the whole person stepped on the vines, and his flexible pace even made people suspect that he was running on flat ground.
In the blink of an eye, Anrui had rushed to the surface of the water.
The tree spirit that had originally relied on climbing the vine of Babel also reacted immediately, preparing to get up and attack An Rui.
However, the speed of the fifth-stage ascenders far exceeded the reaction limit of these demonic beasts.
He didn't even draw his knife.
When the dryads were only halfway up, they pressed up from the front with an irresistible force, and held the heads of the two dryads one by one.
Click-
The two heads were torn off.
An Rui didn't care, and threw away the two wooden heads in his hand, splashing on the calm surface of the lake.
"Roar!"
Seeing this, the surrounding demonic beasts were furious, and immediately surrounded An Rui.
In the face of the encirclement, Anrui was unmoved.
The two long daggers were instantly pulled out of his waist by him, and he stood still in the posture of the school of superior blows, one person faced the dozens of demonic beasts around him, and even had time to command Lindsay above:
"Lindsay, don't you come down!"
"Just stay on it and give me archery cover!"
