“……”

“…………”

“………………”

"Huh."

For some reason, Lindsay suddenly wanted to laugh.

But it was just a laugh in his heart, because the corners of his mouth showed no signs of upturning.

Refer to your current situation.

He remembered the Magog Fire Monster that he had defeated before he fell unconscious.

The advantages of this elemental life are as prominent as the disadvantages.

It's like a fire spirit that can easily kill ordinary people, and even many awakened people find it tricky, but it can be directly doused by clear water.

In all fairness, Lindsay's hard power is no match for the Magog Fire Monster.

However, by taking advantage of various favorable conditions and the weaknesses of the other party, it is also possible to defeat the strong with the weak.

But now?

This eye should be about two meters in diameter visually.

A vague description may not reflect the scale of the thing.

If you take a giant creature as a reference, then Ultraman, who is 40 meters tall, should have an eye diameter of about 0.5 meters.

In other words, as long as the owner of this eye is not a creature with special body proportions such as the Eye Demon.

The body size is at least 100 meters or more!

Lindsay's strongest equipment, [Brilliant Bullet], can instantly kill enemies below the seventh stage.

But what about the one in front of you?

And just like that, Lindsey stared at the huge eyes on the other side.

He saw more detail, and the eye seemed to be made of rock-like material, and the light of the torch was shining on it with a low transmittance.

After staring at each other for several seconds, there was no reaction from the other party.

There were no attacks, no shifting of sight, and no representations.

"Statues?"

The light of the torches does not illuminate the entire panorama of the other party.

Lindsay didn't dare to move.

He summoned essentia and opened his map.

The rock-like eye is not a statue.

A yellow marker almost overlaps Lindsay's position, indicating the attitude of the eye's owner, and the surrounding terrain also tells Lindsay of his own situation.

This is the space beneath the mountains.

Lindsay had already dug a large hole in the mountain, but after the destruction of the battle and the explosion of Magog's core, the tracking had a structural collapse, causing him to fall into the underground cavern he had seen on the map before.

“……”

"Why didn't I fall to my death?"

Lindsay had another question in her mind.

However, as the status quo stabilized and remained unchanged, the initial sense of crisis began to fade, and Lindsay realized more information.

First of all, the owner of the Eye of the Rock has no ill will towards him, or is in a state of inaction.

Because from the analysis of the physical state and the surrounding environment.

Lindsay could conclude that it must have been some time since she fell.

For such a long time, the other party was completely free to dispose of himself, but the result was that he was lying on the ground intact.

Or even a little bolder.

Maybe Lindsey fell from above and didn't fall to her death.

It is also closely related to the owner of this eye!

"Neutral yellow marker...... Anyway, don't bother with it. ”

Lindsay whispered about the situation.

Since the other party did not react, let's assume that he was in some kind of sleep.

So the first thing Lindsay did was to put the torch back in her bag first.

While a dark environment can be unsettling, the constant glow of torches can alarm the other person or even cause undesirable consequences.

Compared to this outcome, Lindsay prefers to grope her way through the darkness on her own.

Although it can be a bit tricky to do this, with the help of the map, it's not completely impossible to leave.

"The Mysterious World of the Underground ......"

"I originally said that I would have the opportunity to explore again in the future, but now I have to plan ahead."

With Lindsay's whispered murmur, the map's exploration expands.

As he had previously suspected, the huge cavern beneath the mountain range was not a separate space, with underground tunnels connecting to other unknown areas in the west and south.

"The crack in the ground by the river in the expedition record should be in this direction."

According to her recollections, Lindsay chose to head south first.

At the same time, he rummaged through his bag and ate a perfectly grilled fish, which increased his weak recovery ability.

Compositing on the workbench also takes place at this point.

[1 Flame Pattern + 1 Flame Crystal = Molten Fire Emblem]

[Coat of Arms/Material: Molten Fire Crest]

[After equipped, increases the user's heat resistance; Activating the active effect makes the wearer immune to fire incineration below 2500°C, and can breathe in magma and flame environments; It can also be used as a material to make other props. 】

[High-grade Fire Emblem, special items, high value.] 】

Like the Flame Emblem, the Molten Emblem is also a magical emblem piece of equipment.

Lindsay attached it to the back of her hand and tried to turn it on.

Activating the abilities brought by the higher level of crests, the cost is indeed more exaggerated.

"With the amount of essentia I have, I'm afraid I can only last for about ten seconds."

"But if you can get this a long time ago, the fifth-stage Magog Fire Monster will be much easier to deal with."

Lindsay thought for a moment.

[3 Flame Crystals = Flame Pattern]

It's as simple as that, he has synthesized a low-level [Flame Pattern].

To deal with battles of different intensities, it is good to choose different levels of equipment, and the choice of equipment is not a one-shot deal, he can deal with it flexibly.

Then place the Molten Sigil on the crafting table.

[1 Molten Sigil + 1 Eternal Flame Essence = Flame Dominator Sign]

[1 Molten Fire Crest + 1 Mountain Crest + 1 Ocean Current Crest + 1 Storm Crest = Nature's Conqueror's Sign]

"It's still the same as before."

"One is to focus on the ascension of the flame system, and one is the unified synthesis of the four elements."

For the subsequent synthesis of [Molten Fire Emblem].

Lindsay still has a relatively clear self-awareness, and there is no delusion at the moment that she can get her hands on it now.

At this moment, he touched the dark underground space, and he had walked more than 100 meters.

At this time, I finally opened the hunting notes and received the kill achievement I had unlocked earlier.

Magog's kill count is 1/3.

Lindsay's achievement this time was a reward for his first victory over a Stage 5 creature.

[Hunting achievement: First fifth-order prey]

[When tracking prey in stages 1 to 5, the investigation speed is increased.] 】

Lindsay was still very satisfied with being able to speed up the investigation, after all, he defeated the Magog Fire Monster thanks to the investigation ability of the hunting module.

Boom Boom –

Just as Lindsay finished counting his harvest and was about to continue leaving, the ground beneath his feet began to shake, making him unsteady on his feet.

The pitch-black underground space seems to have some behemoth moving.

Lindsay immediately stopped.

Because even though his hearing is impaired now, a sound that makes people's ears roar still rings clearly.

Ordinary people may feel a little confused when they hear this voice.

As if it were the friction of the rocks, the roar of the beast.

But Lindsay, who had learned the language of the beast and now pushed the skill to the (proficient) level, immediately recognized the meaning of the voice:

"Little guy with a cute garland, are you leaving?"
