Chapter 37: The Valley of Thorns

Three days later, Lindsay and Red finally saw the Valley of Thorns.

On the way here, they clearly felt that the probability of encountering demonic beasts increased, and there were also many battles of various demonic beasts in the mountains and forests, and there were even corpses of dryads that failed to escape.

The breath of crisis rises in a straight line as we move forward.

The details of various aspects also confirm that they are about to arrive in a dangerous place.

It was early in the morning, and a thin layer of sunlight was torn apart by the dense canopy of trees, and the scene ahead was hazy.

Lindsey walked to the middle of a nearby hill and looked ahead.

The valley of thorns in front of it is a natural depression in the hills, and deep in it rises towering giant trees, like an umbrella covering the sky, and like an ancient guard that stands still.

Turning downwards, countless vines and thorns dotted the valley floor.

Something seemed to be hurrying through it, but it was impossible to detect it when you looked closely.

Fragments of sunlight flow through a complex labyrinth of thorns, interweaving a mottled and broken picture.

"Valley of Thorns ......"

Face this scenery full of nature.

Lindsay frowned slightly and opened the map.

He didn't even have to walk in, just on the periphery, he could see a few red dots lurking everywhere.

Under the quiet morning light, lurking is the danger that has long been predicted.

Behind Lindsay, Red, who was also following her, was vaguely aware of the danger.

The girl even changed her previous impulsive violence, she frowned, and asked Lindsey quite cautiously:

"Lindsay, something doesn't seem right here?"

Lindsey nodded:

"After all, we're close to the heart of the Starlight Forest."

As she answered, Lindsey stretched out her hand and pointed ahead.

Although the area of this thorny valley is wide, the terrain is not high.

From where the two of them are now, they can look beyond the hill and see the scene behind.

It was a huge banyan forest.

Dense green banyan trees cover the entire mountainous area, and the aerial roots are intricately intertwined, and the whole forest seems to be connected. In the middle of the woods, a huge old banyan tree stood tall, the guardian's canopy almost obscuring half of the sky.

"That thing is the Mother Tree?"

Lindsay muttered under her breath.

According to the answers given by the previous tree spirits, the mother tree is the spirit of plants and trees born in this banyan tree.

Usually the mother tree will inhabit the banyan tree.

Without the powerful power to break through the city, she would just be standing there, and ordinary people would not be able to bring her harm.

This point is also a desperate landscape that is difficult to break through for Lindsay and Red now.

"Lure her out of the banyan tree, or find a way to destroy her......

Lindsay stared into the distance and began to think of a countermeasure.

This kind of exaggerated giant tree is not easy to be effective in fire attacks, not to mention that there is a tree mother who will definitely resist in it.

But to say to lure the other person out.

The sixth-stage Warcraft, what method should be used to deal with it now?

Lindsay's contemplative scene was discovered by the girl next to her, she patted Lindsay on the shoulder, and asked rarely:

"Lindsay, are we going to take a detour?"

“……”

Lindsay was silent.

Fighting with the Mother Tree at this moment was undoubtedly an irrational choice, and Lindsay didn't have the idea of joking with her life.

But what about the future?

On the other side of the Black Mountain world, there is a seventh-stage dragon beast waiting for them!

As soon as she thought of this, Lindsay's eyes were fixed on the banyan grove in the distance.

Ordinary awakened people naturally have to keep exercising, go through a long period of skill growth, and then go to defeat strong enemies.

But Lindsay's ability logic is different.

As long as he passes the test of danger and battle, whether he gains new skills or items, the characteristics of [Gamer] will make his strength increase by leaps and bounds.

If at this moment, you can find a way to defeat this six-stage tree mother.

At that time, it can give Lindsay the improvement of his strength, which is undoubtedly a very big boost for the ultimate goal of defeating dragon beasts!

Lindsay must kill the drake!

So......

Syllable!

Suddenly, Red slapped Lindsay the head.

Lindsay turned her head inexplicably, only to be startled by the oncoming red pupils and the stares in the girl's eyes.

"Lindsay, didn't you teach me not to be impulsive when I shouldn't?"

"What are you looking at right now?"

The red gaze is like a tranquil lake.

The lake reflected Lindsay's thoughts on himself at this moment, and at the same time, the cold lake water was also poured in his heart, which made people suddenly wake up.

There is naturally no problem in pursuing the progress of strength.

But we must not lose our rational judgment of reality because of this.

Lindsay laughed dumbly:

"How do you feel like the roles of the two of us are reversed?"

"Red, let's replan the route and find a way to get around the ......"

After accepting Red's advice, Lindsay was ready to reduce the trail of her movements as much as possible, and smuggled through the starlight forest unconsciously.

But at the moment he turned his gaze.

Some of the images that appeared in front of him, as well as the information he had gathered since stepping into the world of Montenegro, gave him new ideas.

the ultimate goal of defeating the drake;

The six-stage tree mother who was extracted from essentia and fell into madness;

and the messengers who were sent by the drake to oversee the Mother Tree.

These three are mixed together.

"It's all here, you have to bring some souvenirs before leaving, right?"

Lindsay's heart moved:

"Red, you wait for me first, I'll go to the tree to see the situation."

With a whisper, Lindsay walked up the hill and climbed up a tall oak tree.

After a long absence, he took out his binoculars and looked to the east.

The topography ahead, which is actually also built on the base terrain of a hilly area, is shaped like a recumbent capital F.

The protruding valley of thorns is a groove at the forefront.

Then there is the banyan forest where the mother tree is located, and on a hill in the north, there is an open woodland.

“……”

"This is where the messenger lives?"

Lindsay whispered to analyze the current situation, but in the next second, another voice sounded beside him:

"Lindsay, what's your idea again?"

Red didn't honestly wait down there.

The girl followed Lindsay and climbed up the tree, and the two hung on the branches, one left and one right.

Lindsay handed the telescope over:

"Look at the situation up ahead."

Red imitated Lindsay's movements, and when she noticed what was being pulled in the telescope, she immediately exclaimed in surprise:

"Lindsay, I'm looking so far ahead!"

"Where did this thing come from, why didn't you play with it for me before?"

Lindsay gave the other party a blank look:

"I told you to take a good look at the situation ahead!"

Red hugged the telescope tightly and buried the prop in his arms to express his attitude:

"What's so nice, isn't it the same as what the group of tree spirits said before?"

“……”

"Can't I give you this thing!"

Lindsay was a little speechless, he didn't expect a guy with a character like Red to like telescopes so much.

He immediately resynthesized one on the workbench.

Then he and Hong were on the side, looking into the distance:

"Red, our purpose is to kill the drake."

The girl nodded without hesitation in confirmation:

"yes, what's the problem?"

Lindsay pointed to the forest ahead of her, and then said what she had just thought:

"The drake itself is far away, and we don't know much more about it."

"But now, things don't seem to be the same."

Red was as smart as ever, and she soon realized what Lindsay meant:

"You mean its messenger!"

Lindsay put away the binoculars and nodded vigorously:

"That's right!"

"We may not be able to beat the Mother of Trees."

"But this messenger, we can find a way to pull it out, and by the way, pry out the information of the dragon beast from its mouth!"
