Chapter 209 Memory
"Hi Lindsay!"
"If you run away like this, how can I get down?"
Lindsay dived into the ground, but Red was left alone on the surface.
The girl looked at the small hole in the mound, even dragged the unconscious Undertide Water Lizard over, and then made a gesture with her white palm:
"This...this can fit my thigh in, right?"
obviously.
Hong who doesn't have the ability to escape from the ground will definitely not be able to get down.
The girl's fiery red eyes showed unwillingness. She lay on the ground, put her ears to the ground and tried to listen.
"Bang! Boom--roar!"
Hong stood up helplessly.
I could detect some movement with my ears against the ground, but not enough to hear the situation clearly.
"It would be interesting to throw me up there all by myself, right?"
Hong patted her right cheek.
The surface of the mound was wet. She just lay down and listened, and her face was already covered with mud.
There was no way to go down and join the fight.
There's nothing else to do on the surface.
Bored, Hong's eyes wandered around, and the stars of the night fell quietly.
Dots of light fall on the Sanzhu Lake, reflecting the bright colors on the clear water, and then flowing along the ripples to create a beautiful dream.
Three huge stone pillars tower over the sky full of stars.
They are like giants leaning on each other, or like the skeleton of a palace under construction.
at the same time.
The battle underground has reached its most critical turning point.
The Gophers, who had been retreating steadily during the Undertide Water Lizard's sneak attacks, suddenly had the reinforcements of Lindsay, and the situation began to turn around.
In a small-scale battle. The addition of a strong man is enough to dominate the battlefield, and the number of Undertide Water Lizards is rapidly decreasing.
at the same time.
Hong, who was sitting alone on the ground, gradually focused his eyes on the nearest stone pillar.
She couldn't sense it when she was far away before, but now that she was observing carefully, she vaguely felt that there seemed to be some kind of power contained in the stone pillars.
"Essence?"
The moment the doubt arose, Hong immediately stood up from the ground.
She didn't even brush off the dirt stuck to her buttocks, and rushed directly into the lake in a few steps, stepping on the sparkling water to reach the stone pillar.
"This feeling……"
Red held out her hand thoughtfully.
She felt right, this stone pillar did contain source matter.
But this power is very special. It is not the kind of source material dominated by humans or monsters, nor is it the kind where the source material is integrated into natural materials and finally forms special minerals or herbs.
"This is...a power closer to the source."
Hong made a somewhat vague judgment.
In other words, she was following her intuition and understanding the stone pillar in front of her.
The knowledge the girl possesses was slowly learned during the little half a year she spent traveling with Lindsay. At this moment, I realized that the thing in front of me was special, and I couldn't think of how to deal with it for a while.
Hong stroked the surface of the rough stone pillar, rubbing the traces left by the wind and sun on his fingertips, as if he was touching the years that happened on the stone pillar with his own hands.
Buzz buzz——
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The stone pillar was calm at first, but the essence inside it began to change.
This power began to gather towards Hong's hand, and what followed was an increase in the amount of source material.
"Um?"
Red quickly frowned.
This kind of thing happens to ordinary awakened people or monsters. It is definitely a God-given adventure that increases their strength.
But she was different.
As a lost person, Hong is still in a slow recovery process. This is actually the speed that her current body can best adapt to.
The sudden increase in source quality directly put pressure on her body.
While feeling a little uncoordinated in her body, some broken pictures began to appear in Hong's mind.
The black mist that swallows everything, the earth that collapses in the impact and shock, the fragmented time and space with chaotic light and shadow...
Scenes of bizarre scenes flashed through her mind one after another.
Hong seemed to understand something, but this memory would not remain in her mind at all, and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
What finally settled in her mind was a white light.
It seemed to be a straight thrust from a white steel sword, just like that...
"Uh-huh!"
Suddenly, there was an indescribable severe pain in Hong's heart.
This is not a physical illness, but a remnant of a certain will rule, which appears with the recovery of memory.
"Damn it!"
"Get out of my way!"
Kurenai put her right hand on her chest and let out a roar.
In an instant, her palms separated from the stone pillar, and she took two steps back, splashing messy water.
Then……
"ah?"
Red blinked.
The severe pain and the emergence of memories stopped instantly. Everything just seemed to be an illusion. Only the clothes on his body, which were wet with cold sweat, still proved what happened a second ago.
"I...the white light, is that my memory?"
Hong realized what had just happened to him.
The next second, she reached out and touched the stone pillar again, without even a trace of fear in her firm eyes.
Hong didn't care at all about the pain that seemed to tear apart a person's consciousness.
In other words, she doesn't care about all the suffering and torture in front of the goal she wants to achieve.
Snapped!
White palms caressed the stone pillars, and the surface of the rock remained rough.
"..."
“…………”
However, this time, the stone pillar did not respond.
Hong maintained her action for a long time, and even took the initiative to probe her essence into the stone pillar.
However, the ancient stone pillar in front of her did not change at all.
The essence contained in it could still be sensed, but it no longer responded to Hong's actions.
"It can only work once?"
The girl bit her lips and frowned.
This was the first time she had the opportunity to contact her past memories after becoming an awakener again.
Although at this moment, she only remembered the white light that pierced her heart.
But Hong was also very sure that continuing to strengthen her strength was definitely the right way for her to recover her memory!
The girl stood quietly in front of the stone pillar.
She began to think about what she should do next.
After waiting for a minute or two, she simply dragged the dark tide water lizard she was responsible for guarding over, sat on it like a carpet, and then slowly studied the stone pillar in front of her that brought her a turning point.
At the same time, the underground battle also came to an end.
Most of the dark tide water lizards that attacked by surprise were wiped out in the counterattack.
Although a few of them managed to escape, their numbers are not big enough to form a population of a certain size.
After confirming the results of the battle, Lindsay finally returned to the ground.
A mole with an eager expression followed him.
The mole's attitude towards the human who saved his race can be said to be extremely flattering.
Lindsay, who returned to the ground, glanced around.
He immediately saw the figure of Hong sitting in front of the stone pillar, already lost in thought.
Lindsay immediately walked over and asked with concern:
"Hong, what are you doing?"
Hong turned her head and looked over.
Without waiting for the girl to answer the question, the mole next to her took the initiative to explain to Lindsay:
"Human, the first pillar strengthened her power."
"She must have felt this greatness, so she is showing respect to the first stone pillar!"
