Chapter 380 Water Stains

There were footprints on the ground and a scent left in the air.

Lindsay and Kagi each play to their strengths, making it almost impossible to chase in the wrong direction in the garden.

Soon, the two left the banquet hall.

They entered it along the third tunnel from the left.

This road is the same as the previous tunnel, but it leads all the way to a very deep part of the garden. It also passes through countless forks in the middle, with frequent upward spiral staircases and sloped corridors.

Lindsay and Kaji set foot in it.

During this period, we walked up frequently, but after trekking for more than an hour, we still could not see the end of the road.

"Where is your current location...?"

Lindsay thought in her mind and silently opened the map.

Combined with the analysis of geographical factors, they have been far away from Echo Valley Town, and have been approaching the true core of the garden.

Muller Nahuen and the other person who entered the garden did not take any detours along the way?

While on the road, Lindsay was thinking about the problem, and a possibility emerged.

[Seed of Garden Management] Give yourself the authority to control the garden once.

There is no doubt that this power is enough to easily kill enemies below the eighth stage.

And Lindsay is now within the garden.

Can he use this seed directly?

Under the premise of absolute safety, kill Muller Nahun immediately?

Lindsay did what she said.

Kaji behind him didn't even notice anything, and a seed quietly appeared in Lindsay's hand.

Immediately after trying to activate the seeds, Lindsay smiled and shook her head.

"Sure enough, this matter is not that easy to solve."

The seeds left behind by the Will of the Forest are all normal.

Lindsay can use it now to make large-scale changes to the forest, such as environmental adjustments.

But if we talk about killing someone specifically, this kind of refined operation.

You have to go to the core console of the garden to lock the enemy's identity.

"..."

"You only have one chance, so it's better to be safer."

Lindsay silently took back the [Garden Management Seed].

As they continued to move forward, a special area appeared ahead.

The entire garden is actually an unimaginably large plant, and the tunnels and caves opened in it are used as buildings and living spaces.

What appeared in front of Lindsay and the two at this moment was a huge hole.

To this side of the tunnel, there are railings and guard posts to guard this huge empty space.

"This place must have been quite important in the past, right?"

Kaji, who was behind Lindsay, continued to follow the scent left in the air.

He prepared to go around the encircling corridor of this huge space without stopping.

But Lindsay paused.

His [Puzzle Game] module marked a piece of information on this huge space.

[Reservoir - The garden will collect abundant water resources during the rainy season and store them here to provide people's living needs during the dry season. 】

How could an ordinary reservoir be specially marked by [Puzzle Game]?

There must be something wrong here!

"..."

"Kaji, be careful, something may not be right here!"

Lindsay immediately issued a reminder, and the perceiver who came forward was startled, and his face even turned livid:

"Lord Diavolo, you...what did you find?"

Lindsay pointed to the huge space aside:

"This was a reservoir and now it's dry."

Kaji looked confused:

"The reservoir hasn't been used for a long time. Isn't it normal for it to dry up?"

Lindsay shook her head:

"The rainy season has only entered the forest garden world for more than a month, and it even rained heavily yesterday. When the garden system is operating normally, this reservoir cannot be so dry!"

Lindsay casually took out a steel spear and handed it to Kaji. He stretched out his hand to the railing, turned over and jumped down:

"Kaji, be careful here, I'll go down and take a look."

Boom——

Lindsay slid along the wall of the reservoir all the way to the bottom.

He tried his best to control the sound when he landed, but even a small movement quickly echoed in this empty environment.

There was an emptiness in the entire reservoir, as if it was echoing the low roar of some kind of ghost.

"..."

Lindsay frowned and took two steps forward.

Without having to go too far, he found something the size of a gravel on the ground in front of him. Its color and shadow would change depending on the viewing angle.

"This is……"

Lindsay walked closer and knelt down to check.

The situation was as he expected. There was a faint feeling of moisture at the bottom of the reservoir, and this small amount of changing light and shadow was the clear water left in the pits of the reservoir.

"one day……"

"No, there should have been water flowing here a few hours ago!"

Lindsay stood up and continued exploring.

This suspicious phenomenon indeed triggered the [Puzzle Game] function, and a faint white light appeared on the ground.

Lindsay was about to check when Kaji, who was above him, became restless and shouted to him:

"Lord Diavolo, did you find anything down there?"

"..."

Lindsay didn't say a word, but raised her finger to her lips and shook her head at Kaji.

"Lord Diavolo, did you find anything down there——"

"ah!"

Kaji's echo reached his ears.

Only then did he react and quickly covered his mouth.

The two were still tracking the enemy. In this empty garden, making such a loud noise would easily attract other people's attention.

That shout just now might have caused trouble!

At the same time, Lindsay sped up and followed the white light trail, and soon came to the edge of the bottom of the reservoir.

This is a water trough leading to the distance.

Because it supplies water to the entire garden, this trough is very large and wide, just like the underground sewer in the city.

With the size of an adult like Lindsay, he can easily walk into it.

But Lindsay stopped in front and did not move forward this time.

He opened the map to check. This waterway is connected to the entire garden, and its volume is so large that it is difficult to describe.

It is definitely a long-term and major project to survey it!

"..."

"It's not suitable to be distracted to do such things now."

Lindsay shook his head slightly, and everything is prioritized.

It is absolutely unacceptable for Lindsay to lose his position and lose the trace left by Mullernahun.

So even if he knew that there were some dangers in the garden, he would not stop his pace.

Before leaving, Lindsay half-crouched on the ground.

He focused on the white light that symbolized the disappearance of the water flow.

[Water flow traces - water flows quickly through this tunnel and is rapidly extracted. ]

"Something is absorbing the water here!"

"Mullenahun - it can't be him; is it another awakener?"

With an uneasy premonition, Lindsay climbed back to the edge of the reservoir.

Because of the shouting just now, Kaji was a little uneasy at the moment, and he didn't even dare to speak when he saw Lindsay coming up.

Lindsay reached out and patted the other's shoulder:

"This reservoir should have had water an hour ago."

"There should be something inside the garden that is absorbing water quickly. It's better to pay attention next."

Kaji asked cautiously: "What should we do now?"

Lindsay pointed to the front: "Follow their scent and continue to track."

"This is the most important thing now."
