Chapter 217 Salt River
Crystal? Beryllium silicate? Lapis lazuli?
The underground cave is very large, and Lindsay cannot see the whole picture and details of this underground mountain with only the torch in his hand.
"The elder is there."
At the same time, the eyeless man who led the way spoke.
It pointed to the top of the underground mountain and introduced:
"There are many tunnels we dug on Liufeng. Be careful when you go up. If my compatriots greet you, well... you'd better not mention anything about lizard dragons."
As soon as the voice fell, the eyeless man who brought Lindsay all the way here left with a spear, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Lindsay watched the other party leave:
"Let me go by myself? Do you trust me so much?"
Lindsay shook his head slightly and took the initiative to walk towards this crystal mountain.
Bringing an outsider to the camp of his own population, and letting the other party act alone so carelessly.
Lindsay thought of two possibilities for this exaggerated decision.
The first is that the other party has such a custom, so he made this choice.
As for the second possibility...
"That's because they are very confident in their own strength, so they are fearless."
Linsey thought of his previous speculation again.
The behavior of the eyeless man at this moment also greatly strengthened this possibility.
"Among the eyeless people, there may be a sixth-stage strongman."
Having come here, Linsey has no intention of turning around and running away.
He opened the map and looked at the mountain in front of him.
There are a lot of yellow neutral signs on it, and some scattered green friendly signs, but there is no red symbolizing hostility.
"Then let's go up and take a look."
Linsey made a decision and then stepped onto the underground mountain.
The crystal clear mountain looks quite transparent, and the hard touch also feels like a rock. But after walking a distance, Linsey smelled a salty smell in the air.
His eyes naturally fell on the surface of the mountain below.
The peculiar terrain here is already quite eye-catching, and coupled with the smell in the air, Linsey immediately had an idea, and also used his own product template to confirm it.
[Mineral: Rock Salt]
[Mineral that can be used to make salt, easily soluble in water. Due to the different buoyancy from rocks, it has a certain fluidity. ]
[A relatively common mineral with low value. ]
"So... is this a salt mountain?"
In his previous life, Lindsay also knew about rock salt, and even bought Himalayan rose salt to try.
"But it's just right."
Lindsay casually touched two pieces and stuffed them into his sac as a reserve of salt, and then continued to climb to the top of the hill.
He did meet other eyeless people on the way.
Some of them were digging holes in the salt mountain, and some were going about their daily lives. Everything Lindsay saw revealed the sense of life in primitive society, and the eyeless people seemed to regard this place as their home.
As for the eyeless people he met on the road.
Through their keen vocalization and receiving organs, they could also tell that Lindsay was not of the same tribe.
But at most they only came up to ask a few questions.
Knowing that Lindsay was going to see the elders living on the top of the hill, they basically let him go decisively, and there was almost no obstruction on the way.
A quarter of an hour later, Lindsay came to the top of the hill.
There was no wind or rain in the underground world, and the houses where the eyeless people lived were just holes dug in the salt mountain.
The so-called residence of the elders was just a little bigger than that of others.
There was only a square at the top of the hill, which might be a place for holding citizen assemblies and other matters.
"Human, you are here."
A low voice came from the pit in front.
Lindsay's vision swept around, and there was only a large cave in front of him at the top of the hill. It seemed that only the elders were qualified to live here.
He walked forward in response, but he just opened his mouth and didn't have time to say anything.
The existence in the cave below seemed to notice Lindsay's movements.
So it spoke again:
"Come in, there is no need to be restrained here, we can have a good talk."
"..."
Lindsay raised his eyebrows and walked in openly.
Just as he expected, there was an old eyeless man sitting in the cave at the top of the salt mountain.
But he was different from his young compatriots.
This old eyeless man has a lot of wrinkles on his skin, and there are some flame-like red lines all over it.
Just by comparing the appearance, you can understand the specialness of the individual in front of you.
This may be the sixth-stage leader of the eyeless people.
Lindsay made an inference in his mind, and took the initiative to point at himself and introduce himself:
"Hello, I'm Lindsay."
"Everyone calls me Shazank." The old eyeless man also introduced himself, "I'm the elder of this tribe."
"Lindsay, I heard the conversation on the way here."
"We have a common enemy. At this time, it is the best choice to join forces to fight the enemy. Smart species like you should also understand."
Hear the conversation on the way?
Lindsay's expression was stern.
From the place where he fell to the top of the salt mountain, the distance is definitely very far.
Although the eyeless people have degenerated their vision and strengthened their hearing, it is impossible to hear the content of the conversation directly from such a distance.
There can only be one conclusion.
The old eyeless man with flaming red skin in front of him also awakened corresponding special abilities due to his power leap, and this superpower-like hearing is one of them!
Facing such a strong man, Lindsay also got straight to the point:
"I understand the general situation, and I do have the idea of dealing with these lizard dragons."
"But before I act, I have a question."
Lindsay was about to ask about something he cared about.
But before he asked the specific question, the old eyeless man in front of him spoke first:
"I am indeed very powerful, but that place is also dangerous to me. Under such circumstances, let alone letting other monsters explore the Crystal Valley for us."
Lindsay was a little stunned for a while.
The question he wanted to ask was 'Why don't you drive other monsters, or do it yourself? '
Who knew that the eyeless man in front of him could answer it one step ahead.
He could hear such a distant conversation in advance.
At this moment, he could make reasonable inferences based on the content of the conversation, and even guess the question he wanted to ask...
Lindsay was under a lot of pressure.
The difficulty of communicating with a strong and intelligent being is self-evident.
Next, he wanted to ask: ‘Since Warcraft and a strong person like you can’t do it, why should I try? ’
As soon as Lindsay opened his mouth, the eyeless man interrupted him again:
“Because there are some traces in the Crystal Valley, I happen to know that they are the words of you humans.”
This time Lindsay’s expression became serious.
The first answer can be explained as the other party’s strong reasoning ability, but the probability of continuing to guess successfully for the second question is almost extremely small, and the other party has no reason to make such a precise answer.
A dangerous idea came to mind:
“Are you reading my mind?”
The elder of the eyeless man nodded frankly:
“That’s right.”
