Chapter 25: The Grand Canyon

Behind the vast basin, there are no more swamps on the wasteland that hinder people's progress.

On the lonely earth, two heads poked out from behind the steep slope, and finally saw a different terrain in front of them.

One of the men pulled out his staff, summoned a bat, and sent it to fly ahead to find its way.

The woman patted the man on the shoulder, and her tone was a little excited:

"It's finally out!"

"Lindsay, it took us a month to walk through this basin?"

"That's right." Lindsey said to Red, who was becoming more and more proficient in lingua franca, "32 days to be exact." ”

Red clings to a raised rock.

She jumped up from below, then half-knelt on the ground and gave Lindsay a hand.

“……”

Lindsay blinked, then took the girl's hand and was pulled up by the other party.

He certainly didn't need that kind of help.

But Red's personality always likes to take the initiative to do something, and this month of getting along, Lindsay is also used to each other's actions.

The two climbed the high ground together, standing side by side while looking into the distance.

A canyon with a huge drop in the sky, from the extreme position in the north of the field of vision, seems to be endless, spreading to the southwest of the junction of heaven and earth.

Nature's brushes in this place are unpredictable.

Valleys, mountain streams, and fissures crisscross the land, and rushing rivers rush between rocky valleys.

It is difficult to conclude a reliable path by visual inspection alone.

The terrain you see at this moment may be a winding path leading to the front, or it may lead to a desperate path to a cliff.

The above scene is exactly the same as the scene recorded in the notes of the expedition team.

Lindsay immediately took out the notes she had brought with her.

As soon as he turned to the corresponding page, the red on the side leaned over and tried to read in his lingua franca:

"This land is full of ...... The canyon, with frequent height differences, makes the earth like a ...... Wrinkles? ”

Lindsey pointed out two words that Red failed to pronounce:

"The word in front is densely intertwined, and the word in the back is wrinkled dog."

Red asked again:

"What's a wrinkled dog?"

Lindsey explains:

"A dog is a domesticated animal that can be used as a housekeeper or hunter, and partly as a pleasure pet. Wrinkled skin refers to the fact that this dog has a lot of folds in its skin. ”

While explaining the meaning of the words, Lindsay and Red began to move on.

The terrain here is definitely a serious obstacle for the two who want to reach the east.

When a cliff crosses in front of you.

They had to take a detour, looking around for a route to get through, with constant climbing and descent.

Lindsey wanted to build bridges with resourced items.

But this kind of clod of soil, after all, can't completely ignore the physical laws of reality like in the game. Lay the clod of earth horizontally on the edge of the cliff, three meters is the limit, and the last choice is to honestly detour.

In the middle of the canyon, the sun rises and sets.

Walking in this complex terrain, even two Awakened Ones will inevitably lose their speed significantly.

When night came, the two came to a wide canyon.

I simply picked a flat open space and used it as a temporary rest camp for tonight.

Naturally, Lindsay was in charge of setting up the camp.

His ability to resourcing is the best choice for this job, and Red takes advantage of bats' scouting to go hunting.

A few minutes later, a simple shelter was built.

Bonfires also rose from the rubble of the clearing.

Lindsay took out the reserve of animal meat and prepared it for dinner, but before it was ready, the girl's footsteps sounded overhead.

"Coming back?"

Lindsay looked up and saw that Red had jumped off a cliff of more than twenty meters.

The girl's movements were agile and precise, and she stepped on the earth and rock bulges on the cliff three times on the falling route, and completely eliminated the force of the fall when she landed.

"I'm back."

Red smiled and said hello to Lindsay.

Then he lifted the fiery red spear he was carrying on his shoulder, and the prey hanging on it was thrown in front of the camp.

"Lucky today, there's this big cat up there."

[Corpse: Yellow Spotted Ocelot]

[The corpse of the three-stage demonic beast that died suddenly is fresh and hot. 】

[Fur and meat can be sold, and the value is average.] 】

Three-stage Warcraft ......

Lindsay looked at the girl in front of her, her companion, who had regained her identity as an Awakened after coming into contact with essentia.

And she didn't follow any of the paths Lindsey offered.

The instincts that remain in the body penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and even if the memory is lost, the reintegrated essentia automatically returns to its original path.

Red is content with this.

With this talent, she has shown great potential in attack.

In a month, her strength has increased by leaps and bounds.

I can also last about three minutes to practice with Lindsay, almost like the weak girl from a month ago!

It's just a pity that the identity of the essentia lost disturbs the specific structure of her power.

Lindsey used commodity abilities, and could only get information such as [essentia lost people who are recovering their abilities].

Bite!

At this time, the cooking pointer reached perfection, and Lindsay hurriedly threw the barbecue to Red.

The girl took the food and ate it with a bold movement.

After a month of continuous barbecue, no matter how delicious things are, she will inevitably get tired of eating, and she is not tactful and pretentious, and directly expresses her troubles:

"It's barbecue again...... Lindsay, how long have we been roasting? ”

"Can you change the food tomorrow?"

Lindsay's expression was also innocent:

"I would also like to change the food, but that's how our environment is...... Tomorrow, get it. I'll try to find some wild vegetables, but I'll say in advance that you won't complain about the unpalatable food when the time comes. ”

Hong's eyes widened, and his bright pupils were full of disbelief:

"Can you still make something unpalatable?"

Lindsey gave an example on the spot:

"Didn't you find it hard to eat last week's cookies?"

“……”

The girl was silent for a few seconds, obviously remembering the 'deliciousness' of the meat biscuits, and then decisively changed the subject:

"What about that sweet syrup? Give me a little. ”

Lindsey immediately refused:

"Eat a little less maple syrup, and use it sparingly."

Red pounced directly and tried to find something from behind Lindsay's buttocks, but to no avail, so he began to persuade:

"Lindsay, aren't you tired of eating barbecue?"

"Come, take it out, let's enjoy it first, and then think of other ways after eating?"

“……”

Lindsay knew that this guy would not give up if he did not achieve his goal, so he simply put forward a condition:

"Tonight's training hasn't started yet."

"If you can get to a tie with me, I'll give you food."

Red immediately takes the bait:

"It's a deal!"

The girl stood up and raised her red spear; Lindsay also pulled out a pair of crimson short knives.

The two were on standby.

In the moment before the fight, Lindsey thought of the description of today's prey - [Suddenly Dead Three-Stage Demonic Beast Corpse], so he asked one more question:

"Red, are you getting stronger again?"

Red smiled confidently, and directly raised his spear and rushed over:

"Try it yourself!"

[Yesterday all night, the schedule was rotten]
