Chapter 27: The Cold War
Early the next morning, Lindsay and Red set off again.
But the two of them, one of them had dark circles under his eyes, and the other had long silky hair that had turned into a messy ball of yarn.
They got up to clean up the camp and said nothing.
After that, climb the cliff, judge the direction and route, and continue the new trek.
There's a simple word that describes the state of both of them now.
- The Cold War.
Pack up the camp early in the morning, prepare breakfast, and get started.
The two of them didn't say a word.
After a morning of travel, stop at noon to rest and eat at the same time.
There was still not a word between the two.
It was another whole afternoon, and they crossed several canyons in a hurry, and the speed of the road that they had become proficient had increased significantly.
But the two still didn't say a word to their companions.
Until late afternoon.
They entered the interior of a stout canyon.
This is the huge canyon that the two of them looked at before entering the area.
The follow-up plan for moving forward was thus placed in front of Lindsay.
Continue straight east, or go up and down the canyon.
The answer is quickly drawn straight to in a rough calculation.
Continue to move in a straight line to the east, going through countless cracks up and down along the way.
And make your way down this huge canyon.
Although the direction will be a little skewed, you can also adjust your orientation by going along the valley floor.
In terms of saving time, this is certainly better than a direct crossing.
“……”
The two of them still didn't speak during the journey.
Lindsey led the way inside, and there was still water at the bottom of the canyon, and signs of animal activity indicated that water was available.
Although he can prepare clear water with the trick of infinite water.
But where there is living water flowing through, it can really make people feel more at ease, which is a habit handed down from the instinct of life.
The only thing uncomfortable in the canyon is the whining sound coming from all around.
Lindsay looked closely and understood the source of the sound - the wind.
Because of the unique sound reflection in the canyon, the normal sound of the wind will turn into a strange whine, so it makes the atmosphere feel strange.
Along the bottom of the canyon, the two walked for another half hour.
Outside, the sun continues to sink in the west.
The canyon is sheltered by towering cliffs, and the sky gets darker than outside.
As if in a gamble, Lindsay set up camp in this canyon instead of the top of the canyon as Red had spoken of yesterday.
He also found a reason for himself in his heart.
"Sleeping on the top of a cliff, what if you are restless while dreaming, roll over and fall to your death?"
"It's safer to sleep underneath!"
The clock goes on.
The setting sun began to tear the yellow phantom away from the earth.
Although the two did not communicate with each other, Lindsay skillfully lit a campfire and set up a makeshift camp.
Red turned and burrowed into the canyon and began to search for today's prey.
After a month of traveling together, the two have developed a habit. Even if they don't communicate, they have their own tacit work to carry out.
The girl in charge of the hunt was quite lucky.
She found a vulture's nest on the dead wood on the edge of the cliff, and not only 'invited' the owner of the nest back, but also touched three birds' eggs to keep them in order.
"I'm sure I'll be able to improve my food tonight!"
Thinking of eating barbecue for a month, Red couldn't help but smile.
She hurried back to the camp, but when she was about to arrive, she put away the smile on her face in advance.
Then she climbed over the obstacles between the canyons, and the girl's eyes froze.
"Huh?"
The picture in front of her was not what she expected.
Lindsey was in the middle of a camp under construction, just in time to complete the topping out of the shelter. But everything that has just been established has also become a crisis that hinders his vision.
But right above Lindsay.
A 4-meter-tall earthy yellow figure, emerging from the rocks at some point, was silently approaching the top of the shelter.
It doesn't make any sound.
And the location is also in the back of the canyon, so it doesn't leave a shadow below.
Quietly approaching - it's the enemy!
"Lindsay, watch out of your head!"
The reaction came back to red, and threw away the dinner in his hand.
The expected vulture eggs were also smashed directly.
However, the girl with the eyes like a torch didn't care about this at all.
She threw her spear without hesitation, and she herself was like an afterimage, chasing the trajectory of the weapon's flight, ready to stop this sneak attack on Lindsay.
Bang!
The meteorite spear plunged directly into the opponent's body, and the heat began to destroy the body tissues, which in turn magnified the injury.
"Huh?"
Lindsay also realized the danger was coming.
He slipped out of the shelter and jumped out of place.
When I turned my head, I saw the monster that was about to attack me, and the girl who rushed to help.
In order to protect his companions from sneak attacks, Hong Fen did not hesitate to die.
Her relative position to the enemy was inconvenient to draw her spear, so she risked hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. The slender body is like a toy that can be broken at any time in front of a huge enemy!
"What's that?"
Lindsay immediately made a judgment and took out the [Spider Silk Night Shadow], and three long arrows shot out in a volley in the space of one breath.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
With three loud bangs, the earthy yellow figure was smashed on the cliff wall by three arrows with mace power.
At this time, red also approached again.
Taking advantage of the enemy's inability to move on the cliff wall, she pulled out her meteorite spear, infused essentia, and stabbed the enemy in the head again.
Click-
The light of the meteor flickered.
Red's blow was quick and accurate. The enemy tried to dodge, but the speed couldn't keep up with Red's rapid attack.
The spear pierced, and the heat of the meteor began to incinerate its head.
Seeing that the battle is decided.
However, a month of hunting has also trained Red's sense of battle.
The head is not necessarily the weak point of all enemies.
What's more, the enemy in front of him was still fighting with himself with the wound of the meteorite spear just now.
So after completing this theoretical fatal blow.
Red immediately drew his spear and leaped behind him to prevent a possible final counterattack.
“……”
There was silence in the canyon.
The huge body that smashed into the cliff wall and was then stabbed through the head finally collapsed to the ground, and there was no movement on the surface.
When it comes to confirming the enemy's status, Lindsay has an innate advantage.
He opened the attribute panel and was relieved to see that his experience points had increased slightly.
"Dead."
Lindsay then put away her weapon and walked over to the corpse.
He began to research the origin of the thing, and by the way, he also collected prey materials.
"Where did the inexplicable stuff come from?"
“……”
Further back, Red also stepped forward.
A battle is enough to sweep away all the unhappiness that preceded it.
What's more, the two don't have any grudges that are difficult to resolve, and they are more child-like.
Seeing that Lindsay began to study the body of the attacker, Red Half crouched beside him:
"What is this?"
"This?" Lindsay read to the text on the merchandise panel, "It's called the Rock Golem." ”
