Chapter 211 Important Speculations
"Lindsay, what do you think the so-called eyeless people are like?"
"A creature that lives underground. Because it has been in a dark environment for many years, its eyes have degenerated and disappeared."
"Even if you live underground, you won't lose your eyes, right?"
“Use it or lose it, and if you look at it on a longer time scale, this is a very normal situation.”
After leaving Sanzhu Lake, Lindsay and Hong continued on the road.
They ate the lizard meat they had roasted that morning while discussing the information they had gleaned from the gophers.
According to the native species of this Qianshan Stone Forest.
Many years ago, a war broke out between the Eyeless People and the Lizard Dragon Clan, and the structure of the underground world was extensively destroyed, which led to the collapse of the earth's surface.
Lindsay remembered something very important:
"Hong, do you remember the story I told you?"
"The monster responsible for guarding you is a fifth-stage monster called the Black Scale Lizard Dragon."
As expected, Red's attention shifted from the Eyeless Man to the Lizard Dragon.
She has a very subtle expectation in her heart for the person responsible for guarding her:
"Lindsay, I remember you said that thing is very strong?"
Lindsay nodded immediately and confirmed:
"superb."
As a subject of daily training, Hong knows that Lindsay's strength has been increasing:
"What if it were you now?"
"Now I encounter..." Lindsay thought seriously, "With that lizard's ability, I'm afraid it will still be very dangerous."
Lindsay was not being modest or joking in any way.
He can indeed deal with some ordinary stage five monsters now.
But the black-scaled lizard dragon is not among them.
That guy has comprehensive abilities and a strong body. Lindsay may be able to fight the Black Scaled Lizard Dragon head-on without relying on strategies and traps, but he can't say that he can win 100% of the opponent.
Hong also nodded thoughtfully:
"The dragon beast's cronies are really strong."
Lindsay followed the words and continued:
"Yes, the black-scaled lizard dragon is a die-hard loyalist to the dragon beast, and the race that started the war with the Eyeless Men and caused the earth to collapse is called the lizard dragon."
Hong's expression became serious:
"Do you think this race is related to dragon beasts?"
Lindsay was noncommittal:
"At least before the death of the Black Eagle King, he clearly stated that the dragon beast was born in the Thousand Mountains Stone Forest."
A smile appeared on the girl's face:
"interesting!"
"Are we going to fight all the way to its hometown?"
Lindsay affirmed:
"Maybe that's it."
At this point, Lindsay's tone suddenly changed.
He had been thinking about a problem in the past few months, and now after experiencing the experience of Sanzhu Lake, he finally had a vague idea:
"Red, have you ever thought about something?"
Hong noticed Lindsay's seriousness:
"What's up?"
Lindsay said solemnly:
"Those three stone pillars in Sanzhu Lake can enhance strength. Do you think that with the ability of the dragon beast, the existence of such things will be ignored?"
Hong thought briefly and came to a conclusion:
"Maybe I'm not sure of the specific situation, but at least I'll be aware of it."
"But the fact is that the dragon beast is completely unmoved." Lindsay agreed with this conclusion, and then asked another question, "So Hong, do you think the tree mother is important to the dragon beast?"
A six-stage powerful being.
Even envoys were sent to guard it, which was of course very important.
Hong nodded without hesitation:
"I'm not blind, of course it values the tree mother very much!"
Lindsay's expression became more serious:
"Then do you still remember the swamp where you were imprisoned, and what happened when we left there?"
Hear things related to yourself.
Hong crossed her arms and slowed down to walk side by side with Lindsay. She realized that the focus of the topic was herself.
"Lindsay, what do you mean?"
Lindsay said frankly:
"The stone pillar that can enhance the strength, the dragon beast will not interfere; the sixth-stage monster that surrendered to it, and the cronies it sent are dead, but it still has no reaction; but when I killed the black scale lizard dragon and rescued you . The dragon beast was furious and even caused a small earthquake."
"If you have to find one difference..."
Having said this, Lindsay pointed directly at the girl in front of her:
"That can only be you."
Hong opened his eyes wide:
"Huh? Me?"
The girl's expression was completely unbelievable, and there was even self-mockery in her eyes:
"A prisoner with no freedom, a loser who has lost all abilities and memories? He actually attracts more attention and anger from the dragon beast than those things?"
Lindsay bypassed Hong's self-deprecation and continued to point out the doubts in his eyes:
"Hong, don't just focus on failure."
"Think about it from another perspective."
"After the Black Scale Lizard Dragon dies, it shouldn't be a problem to carry out a more concentrated strike given the dragon's ability to cause earthquakes. But the fact is that it only caused an earthquake."
"Even a six-stage tree mother can cause landslides and ground cracks."
"For that dragon beast that is connected to the world and is in the advanced stage of seven, a short earthquake is definitely not the upper limit of its capabilities!"
Hong couldn't refute Lindsay's analysis and began to think about herself.
Lindsay continued:
"So I feel that the small earthquake that occurred in the swamp was not simply the dragon beast exuding anger."
"Its real purpose is to change the hollow structure under the swamp, so that the magma will flood everything. At the same time, you will be buried deep under the ground, never to see the light of day!"
"..."
Hong had never thought about this before.
So when Lindsay proposed this hypothesis, her first reaction was to disbelieve it.
"How is it possible? I just..."
Lindsay shook her head and interrupted Hong's rebuttal:
"Hong, I didn't say that this is the absolutely correct truth. It's just a guess at the moment."
"After all, if you really want to be strict, the Three Pillars Lake will not necessarily attract the attention of the dragon beast. Only by obtaining more reference objects can we confirm whether this hypothesis is correct or not."
Hong shrugged.
She immediately understood what Lindsay meant.
More reference objects must refer to targets that can attract the attention of the dragon beast.
What else could it be?
This underground world ahead may be the hometown of the dragon beast!
If the secret of the other party's strengthening is buried in it, it will definitely be strictly monitored.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Lindsay raised his eyebrows.
As he was on his way, he habitually enlarged the map to scout the road ahead, and at this moment he discovered the terrain that dropped sharply.
"Hong, we are almost there."
Lindsay called out, and took the girl beside him to speed up the road.
They walked around a rugged mountain road in front for half an hour.
As a cold and hot west wind blew from behind the two, the scene in front of them suddenly changed.
It was a collapsed land.
On the surface covered with countless cracks, countless stone pillars fell here. Occasionally, there was a wind and sand blowing, and the whole world was covered with a gray layer, and simply smelling the air made people's throats dry.
It has been quite a long time since the war.
When Lindsay and Hong came here, this land where almost no living creatures could be seen still could not hide the sadness of the disaster.
