Flavi's reaction was astonishing.

In addition, he revealed just now that he could not give more information due to the contract with the merchant.

So the reaction at the moment naturally attracted Lindsay's attention.

He immediately walked over to Flavi and asked:

"Alex has a hand on this guy?"

"Your expression should be worried about danger. Where does this danger come from? Is it a person or a thing? ”

Lindsay quickly questioned Flavi.

He knew that the other party could not disclose the information directly, so he wanted to judge the information from Flavi's reaction.

On the other side, Razor also saw the clue from Flavi's appearance.

Unlike Lindsay, his rich experience in exploration allowed him to react the fastest, and immediately shouted to his companions around him:

"Everyone, all assemble!"

"There may still be danger here, don't go too far with each other, the Awakened protect ordinary people!"

Under Razor's guidance.

The people at the entrance to the valley soon converged.

Among them were fast-moving carrying trees, with a few rough bunkers piled up around the crowd. Even a few captives were well controlled.

Among them, only the Hidden One is obsessed.

He stared at Lindsay, unwillingness and longing running through his eyes.

However, because of the reaction of everyone in the expedition team, he had a little more thought in his pure thinking.

At the same time, by judging by the Flavi reaction.

Lindsay groped for some information.

The elemental controller he killed was a close associate of Alexon.

The merchant has left a trail on this guy, and after the other party is killed, some dangerous revenge mechanism has been set in motion, and it is quietly approaching them.

"Dangerous ......"

Lindsay opens the map, surrounded by no red dots that symbolize hostility.

Then switch the module to [Puzzle Game] and look around.

[Clue Collection] works normally, but highlighted clues are everywhere - forests.

The mutation of the forest has led to the environment itself being a huge source of clues.

Especially in the inner part of the secret realm, this kind of light is like the sun in the morning, and it seems that there is no problem in sweeping the gaze, but if you look closely, it will still burn the gaze.

At the same time, due to the secret nature of the valley itself.

The environment here has an extremely high concentration of essentia, and the awakened person's own perception ability is also suppressed here.

After gathering the crowd, Razor walked over to Lindsay:

"Lindsay, what's the news?"

Lindsey shook her head:

"I only know that there is indeed a danger, but there is no trace of it so far."

Just when the two were at a loss.

On the captive's side, a voice rang out:

"Listen, I know what's going to happen next!"

Lindsay turned her head and saw that it was the Hidden Ones shouting to her, and her tone was very excited:

"I have a way to circumvent Alexun's contract restrictions!"

"But you also have to tell me, how did you find me just now?"

The Hidden One is heard.

Flavi, who had been fidgeting, lit up and immediately began to help:

"Two, the Hidden Ones do have some tricks up their sleeves to evade the contract, and I think it's a good deal!"

“……”

Lindsay frowned.

He certainly didn't want to give away his information to the enemy.

But at the moment, when the safety of these brave companions around her is at stake, Lindsay will not hesitate at such a time, and immediately agreed to this condition:

"Okay, I can tell you."

"I was able to spot your proximity and location because of my skill in being able to search for information in the environment indiscriminately and feed it back. Even if you disappear, you can't disappear in the larger concept of the environment, and that's why I found you! ”

“……”

"Environment...... Craftsmanship ......"

Hearing Lindsay's answer, the Hidden One's breathing became rapid, and his eyes flickered back and forth.

Anyone present could see his mood at the moment.

Soon, the Hidden Ones continued to ask:

"How do you develop this skill? What is your profession and what path are you taking? ”

Lindsay replied calmly:

"I'm a gamer, and when it comes to how to develop this skill — unfortunately, we don't have the conditions to develop it yet."

When hearing the first half of Lindsay's words.

The Hidden One's eyes widened, their pupils eager for the answer that followed.

But when Lindsay said that he could not cultivate this skill at the moment, his expression plummeted, and he instantly fell from anticipation to an endless abyss of despair.

"Impossible!"

"If you don't have the cultivation conditions, how do you have it?"

Lindsay didn't explain, but asked rhetorically in a flat tone:

"Since I've already opened my mouth to you, a prisoner, do you think it's necessary for me to hide this kind of detail?"

“……”

Lindsay's answer was like the word 'reality' giving the Hidden One a slap in the face.

Now he even holds life and death in the hands of the man in front of him.

For a guy who is powerless to resist, the other party really has no reason to deceive himself.

Bang!

Thinking of this, the Hidden One's previous excitement instantly withdrew from his body.

The strength in his body seemed to disappear with it, and he fell to his knees with a thud. His eyes looked directly at the ground in front of him, and he could barely make any movements.

“……”

This strong reaction to loss is difficult to explain with the previous reasons.

Lindsey frowned and asked:

"Your attitude doesn't seem to be just scruples, I can see through the state of your stealth ability."

"Huh-"

The Hidden One smiled self-deprecatingly, his voice chilling like a goose:

Lindsey ...... Is that right? What do you think will happen to the skills of our Hidden Ones, going deep into the last moment? ”

The Hidden Ones weren't expecting Lindsay's answer.

After laughing at himself, he kept the agreement and took the initiative to say what Alekun left behind:

"I'm telling you now, the danger comes from the surrounding forest."

"Alekun left an ability called [Debt Transfer] on this guy."

"Since you have killed him, the calamity and hatred that have angered the whole forest will naturally be transferred to you...... Uh-huh!! ”

The voice landed, and the backlash of violating the contract arrived.

The Hidden Ones' bodies suddenly vanished in place, and suddenly reappeared.

He switched between the two states frequently, and eventually passed out even though he didn't die for breaking the contract.

Boom Boom –

It's like responding to the Hidden Ones' reaction.

The ground around him shuddered suddenly, and the twisted trees of the forest echoed it, as if something dangerous was watching the land!

"Debt Transfer ......"

Lindsay's eyes froze, and she realized that something was wrong.

He immediately activated the [Merchant] skill and investigated the information of his companions and these captives.

It turns out that the Hidden Ones are not lying.

The entries on a few of their captives are descriptions of the normal awakened, but on Lindsay's expedition.

There was one more item in the information description of everyone present.

- [The Fury of the Forest's gaze.] 】

But there was one thing that puzzled Lindsay.

Because he looked at his properties panel and didn't notice a similar negative status.

Everybody was tricked.

Only Lindsay herself, who killed the elemental manipulator, is not among them!
