Chapter 67: Shiokawa
Crystal? Silica beryllium? Celestite?
The underground cavern is so large that Lindsay can't get a glimpse of the full picture and details of this underground mountain with only a torch in her hand.
"The Elder is there."
At the same time, the Eyeless Man who was in charge of leading the way spoke.
It pointed to the top of the subterranean mountain range and said:
"There are a lot of tunnels we have dug up on the peak, so you should pay attention to safety when you go up. If there is a greeting from my compatriots, huh...... You'd better not mention anything related to dragons. β
As soon as the words landed, the eyeless man who had brought Lindsay all the way here left with his spear in hand, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Lindsey watched the other party leave:
"Let me go on my own? Is that all there is to me? β
Lindsay shook her head slightly, and took the initiative to walk towards the crystal mountain.
Bringing an outsider to the camp of his own population, and letting the other person go alone with such a big grin.
With this exaggerated decision, Lindsay thought of two possibilities.
The first is that the other party's custom is like this, so there is this choice.
As for the second possibility......
"That's because I am very confident in my own strength, so I have no fear."
Lindsay remembered what she had just speculated.
The behavior of the eyeless man at this moment also greatly strengthens this possibility.
"Among the Eyeless Race, I'm afraid there are also sixth-stage powerhouses."
Having come here, Lindsay has no idea of turning around and running away.
He opened the map and looked at the mountain in front of him.
There are a number of yellow neutral signs, as well as a few scattered green-friendly signs, except for no red that symbolizes hostility.
"Then let's go up and have a look."
Lindsay made her decision and stepped onto the subterranean mountain.
The crystal clear mountain looks like it is not low in transparency, and the hard touch also has the feeling of a rock. But after walking some distance, Lindsay smelled a salty smell in the air.
His gaze naturally fell on the surface of the mountain below.
The peculiar terrain was already quite eye-catching, and the smell of the air made Lindsay have an idea right away, and at the same time confirmed it with his own merchandise template.
γMineral: Rock Saltγ
[A mineral that can be used to make salt, easily soluble in water.] It has a certain fluidity due to the buoyancy that it bears unlike the rock. γ
[A more common mineral with a lower value.] γ
"So...... Is this a salt mountain? β
Lindsey also knew about rock salt in her previous life, and even bought Himalayan rose salt to try.
"But it's just right."
Lindsay casually touched the two stoppers and used them as a reserve of salt, and then continued to climb to the top of the hill.
Sure enough, he met other Eyeless people along the way.
Some of them dig holes in the salt mountains, and some go about their daily lives. Everything Lindsay saw revealed a sense of life in a primitive society, and the Eyeless Man seemed to regard this place as his home.
As for the eyeless people encountered on the road.
Through their keen vocalizations and receptive organs, they were able to tell that Lindsey was not of the same race.
But they only come up to ask two questions at most.
Knowing that Lindsay was going to meet the elders who lived at the top of the hill, they basically let it go, and there was almost no obstruction on the way.
A quarter of an hour later, Lindsay came to the top of the hill.
There is no wind and rain in the underworld, and the houses inhabited by the eyeless people here are made holes in the salt mountains.
The so-called elders' dwellings are only larger than those of the others.
Only at the top of the hill is there a square, which may have been used for the purpose of holding a citizens' assembly.
"Human, you're here."
A deep voice came from the crater ahead.
Lindsay's vision swept around, and at the top of the hill there was only a large cavern in front of her, which seemed to be inhabited only by the Elders.
He stepped forward in response, but his mouth was just open, and he didn't have time to say anything.
The presence in the cavern below seems to be aware of Lindsay's movements.
Then it heard again:
"Come in, there's no need to be inhibited here, we can have a good talk."
ββ¦β¦β
Lindsay raised her eyebrows and walked in generously.
Just as he expected, in the cave at the top of the salt mountain, sat an old eyeless man.
But unlike his younger compatriots.
This old, eyeless man has many wrinkles in his skin, and there are some flaming red lines all over it.
Just by comparing the shapes, you can understand the particularity of the individual in front of you.
This could be the sixth-stage leader of the Eyeless Man.
Lindsay made an inference in her heart, and at the same time took the initiative to point to herself to make an introduction:
"Hello, I'm Lindsay."
"Everybody calls me Shazank." The elderly, eyeless man also introduced himself, "I am the elder of this race. β
"Lindsay, I heard all the conversation you had on the way over."
"We have a common enemy, and at this time it is the best choice to join forces against the enemy, and you intelligent species should be able to understand it."
Did you hear all the conversations on the road?
Lindsay's expression froze.
From where he fell to the top of Salt Mountain, the distance was absolutely extreme.
Although eyeless people lose their eyesight and strengthen their hearing, it is impossible to hear the conversation directly from such a distance.
The conclusion can only be one.
The old eyeless man with fiery red skin in front of him, because of the jump in his strength, has also awakened the corresponding special ability, and this superpower-like hearing is one of them!
In the face of such a strong man, Lindsay also got straight to the point:
"I probably understand the situation, and I do have the idea of dealing with these dragons."
"But before I act, I have a question."
Lindsey was about to ask about something he cared about.
But before he could ask a specific question, the old eyeless man in front of him took the first step to speak:
"I'm really strong, but that place is just as dangerous for me. In such a situation, let alone let other Warcraft explore Crystal Valley on our behalf. β
Lindsay was a little stunned for a moment.
The question he wanted to ask was, 'Why don't you drive other monsters, or do it yourself?' β
Who knows the eyeless person in front of him, who can answer one step ahead.
I can hear a conversation that far away in advance.
At this moment, he can make reasonable inferences based on the content of the conversation, and even guess the question he wants to ask......
Lindsay was a little under pressure.
The difficulty of communicating with a strong and intelligent being is self-evident.
Then he wanted to ask, 'Since Warcraft and a strong person like you can't do it, then why let me try?' β
As a result, as soon as Lindsay opened his mouth, the eyeless man interrupted again in advance:
"Because there are traces in the Crystal Valley, and I happen to know, they are the words of you humans."
This time Lindsay's expression became serious.
The first answer can also be explained as the other party's strong reasoning ability, but the second question, the probability of success in continuing to guess is almost extremely small, and the other party has no reason to give such an accurate answer.
This is how a dangerous thought comes to mind:
"You're reading my mind?"
The Eyeless Elder nodded calmly:
"That's right."
