Chapter 345: Seed of Source

High temperature of 1200℃.

Instantly ignites the elemental controller's clothes and skin.

Even if the excess flames are instantly sucked in by the storm of the elemental vortex, there is a safe zone around the elemental controller's body.

The flame that has been ignited is still raging on it!

"Ah, help!"

"Ahhh!"

The extreme pain made this awakened person unable to control himself.

He roared loudly, waving his arms while rushing towards the lake behind him.

"..."

On the other side, Lindsay seized the opportunity and raised the flaming flintlock in his hand to take aim.

The target is instantly locked on the enemy, and the skill even calculates the trajectory of the opponent jumping into the lake.

There was no way Lindsay was going to give her enemies a break.

But just when Lindsay was about to shoot, something unexpected happened.

The immense pain caused by the burn makes the elemental manipulator unable to concentrate, and thus loses control of the skill.

The elemental vortex he created with his own hands stopped running at this moment.

The huge force lost its power, and then expanded rapidly outward from the compressed state, immediately triggering an even more exaggerated explosion.

boom--!

A shock wave visible to the naked eye exploded from the edge of the lake, mixed with fragments of various objects, impacting outward like bomb fragments.

"ah?"

Lindsay immediately opened his bag and took out the materials to build a wall in front of him.

There was a dense crackling sound on the opposite side of the earth wall, as if raindrops were hitting it.

Just a moment.

The center of the secret realm of the valley was in a mess.

Mud, gravel, tree debris, and turbid water droplets splashed everywhere, mixed with flames, burning weeds and trees scattered around.

As for elemental controllers...

This guy's back was hit at close range by the explosion of the elemental vortex.

Like a cannonball, he hit the lake where he originally wanted to jump, and his whole body stopped moving.

"..."

Lindsay emerged from behind the pitted cover.

He opened the map and looked at it.

All the nearby markers have been cleared away, leaving only the icon symbolizing himself alone.

"this……"

Lindsay's expression was a little subtle.

The fire bomb he threw was just the first attack in the battle, and he had no intention of winning by it.

But there is a saying that goes well

Making the right choice under the right circumstances often yields the greatest results.

The situation just now fits this description.

Therefore, the chain effect caused by just a few fire bombs directly helped Lindsay defeat the enemy.

With a subtle mood, Lindsay came to the edge of the lake.

Under the murky water not far from the shore, he saw a vague figure lying there, motionless.

Whoosh—pop!

Lindsay whipped out her whip and pulled the elemental manipulator's body out of the water.

The opponent was first burned by fire, and then directly hit by the explosion of the elemental vortex. There were countless broken bones on the dark corpse, and the whole person looked like a toy with broken joints.

"..."

Look at this miserable corpse.

Lindsay scratched his cheek and subconsciously opened the properties panel.

[Gamer] Treat all goals equally.

So in [Hunting Notes], Lindsay also started the first achievement of hunting a human.

Human: 1/25.

There is also an elite kill number below: 1/1.

"..."

Lindsay suddenly felt queasy.

He didn't feel much when he saw the corpses of the enemies he had killed.

But on the game board, the number of humans killed is recorded, and you can also benefit from it.

This feeling is really weird.

"In short, it can be considered the fate of you for helping others commit evil."

Lindsay calmed down her emotions and shook her head slightly.

He turned and looked around.

After several years of adventure, Lindsay has developed very good and practical habits.

So he took out the wooden barrel from his luggage, scooped a few barrels of lake water, and first extinguished the burning fires around him to prevent larger forest fires.

Wait for it to be handled properly.

Lindsay took the body of the element controller and walked towards the direction of her companions.

Achievement rewards and collected materials are also available on the way.

[Weapon: Guillotine Ax]

[An ax used by executioners, stained with human blood. This weapon will cause greater damage to humans; after killing a human, the next attack will deal increased damage within a short period of time. 】

[Executioner Suit——(1/5)]

[Moderate value. 】

This is a rough ax with a simple structure, but its surface is stained with dark red blood. There is some kind of perverted desire to kill wrapped around the cold ax blade, making people feel extremely uncomfortable just by looking at it.

Lindsay took it in her hands.

I feel like I don’t need to dress up, I can immediately appear in a horror movie and play a guest role as a senior perverted murderer.

"..."

Lindsay silently put the [Guillotine Ax] in his bag and looked at the materials he had just obtained.

[Rare Object/Material: Seed of Origin]

[Special entities condensed from source matter, after ordinary people take them, they will increase the probability of becoming awakened; they can also be used as materials to make other props. 】

[Extremely rare magical items with high value. 】

Lindsay tried to put it into the workbench as material.

[Essence Seed*3=Essence Crest]

"..."

"Has the world really become a cannibalistic world?"

Looking at the text on the attribute panel.

The first thing Lindsay thought of was the common sense he learned in the hidden border.

This kind of item has extraordinary value for both himself and others, and may even cause unimaginable disasters.

"Tsk--"

Lindsay shook his head.

If you kill the enemy and get this kind of item from him, it's fine.

But if you kill someone deliberately just for the sake of gain...

"It's not like you're really killing monsters in an RPG to get equipment, so it's okay."

Lindsay continued to move forward with the corpse.

Not long after, footsteps were heard in front of the forest, and he looked up.

The figure of the adventurer was rushing towards him.

The explosion just now was obviously noticed by Lei Ze, who was originally dealing with the prisoners, but now he immediately came to support.

At this moment, he saw Lindsay's figure.

Lei Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and then he asked:

"Lindsay, I heard a very loud explosion here."

"Are you okay?"

Lindsay pointed to the body he brought:

"The process was a little tortuous, but I won."

Lei Ze came closer to look at the body.

First it caught fire, and then it was caught in the explosion.

The body of the element manipulator was in a mess, and it was impossible to tell his identity just by his appearance.

Looking at the miserable state of the body, the explorer asked delicately:

"How did he die like this?"

Lindsay shrugged:

"The explosion just now was caused by him, and this is the result of that explosion."

"..."

The two exchanged information and returned to the edge of the valley before.

The companions of the expedition team have cleared a clearing here, and the invisible person who had just fainted has also woken up.

He saw Lei Ze and Lindsay return.

His eyes immediately locked onto the latter, and his expression changed from calm waiting to crazy:

"You, that's you! How did you find me?"

"Tell me, how did you do it!"

The invisible man's tone and actions were extremely crazy, and there was a strong desire in his tone. He struggled so violently that the rope even broke his skin, but it still couldn't stop his struggle.

Leize shook his head beside Lindsay, with some emotion in his tone:

"It's inevitable to have such a reaction when the skills you have trained for a lifetime are seen through."

"..."

Lindsay also had a subtle expression.

He couldn't answer the other party and say that he saw you running over from the small map, right?

It was at this time.

Flavy, the perceiver who had been honest since being captured, saw the body of the elemental manipulator.

He wanted to say something, but his actions were restricted by the merchant's contract.

Flavi had no choice but to say awkwardly:

"You...you killed him?"

Linsey turned his head away:

"In a life-and-death fight, you can't expect me to hold back, right?"

"But...it might be..." Flavi's eyelids twitched uneasily.

He looked at the dark body, and his subtle perception allowed Flavi to notice that something was happening around him.

The perceiver spoke as best he could:

"I think it might be inappropriate for you to kill him..."
