Chapter 608: Quiet Underground

The killing was spreading forward in the darkness.

Wherever Lindsay passed, bonfires were lit in the underground world. The temperature in the dark world seemed to rise, making it difficult to breathe.

A full hour passed.

Lindsay still operates alone in the underground world.

Because of the effect of [Eternal Mark], even if he fought recklessly, the surrounding land continued to transmit physical strength to him. So at this moment, Lindsay was full of energy, just like a child who had just woken up early in the morning of the New Year.

On the other hand, the situation of the deformed ones is completely different.

The monsters that had cornered Vivian just a few hours ago and were even keeping humans captive underground.

Now in front of Lindsay...

Rather than being enemies, they are more like a group of building blocks that fall down with a push.

It only took a moment.

Hundreds of mutants have been pulled out from underground by Lindsay and killed on the spot.

And Lindsay, besides killing these abominations.

He also summarized the activity tracks of these deformed people based on his own travel routes and the information obtained from map reconnaissance.

"There's about another 4 kilometers to go."

"If I kill him all the way like this, even if he can react, I will definitely catch up with him!"

Lindsay made a cold judgment.

Although these deformed people are extremely numerous and unevenly distributed, it still does not prevent him from determining the location of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The reason is very simple.

The closer these deformed creatures are to their controllers, the more agile and humane their responses will be. Lindsay had already obtained the corresponding formula after killing all the way like this.

At this moment he speculated on the location of the person behind the incident.

With just a little calculation, he was able to accurately determine the route in the east direction.

Meanwhile, while Lindsay was killing, he also remembered his other skills.

While on the road, he took advantage of the free time to open the [Hunting Notes].

The killing of more than a hundred of them had already enabled him to complete the first and second level achievement titles.

Lindsay collected the achievement reward.

[Rare Item: Withered Claw Amulet]

[Amulet with a strong smell of corruption. Once worn, the unconscious deformed will not be able to identify you and will consider you as their own unit.]

[Achievement items with a single function, low value. 】

[Magic Seed: Withered King Flower]

[A magical flower that absorbs toxins and corrupt forces as nutrients. If the Withered King Flower grows normally for 140 years, it will produce one fruit, but if it is supplied with sufficient nutrients, it will greatly speed up its growth and fruiting speed.]

[A magical seed with special functions and moderate value. 】

"..."

Lindsay raised an eyebrow, both of these bonus items were quite interesting.

Especially the latter.

"Absorbing toxins and corrupting forces as nutrients to grow?"

"So if we put this thing in the Zerg Canyon, can Corrupted Gold retire early? And considering the size of these Aberrations, this thing will be of great use later on."

While thinking, Lindsay immediately put on the [Withered Claw Amulet].

The results are the same as described in the equipment.

The next time they ran into aberrants, these corrupted creatures did not recognize Lindsay's human identity. Instead, they dispatched troops around as usual, as if they were trying to stop the enemy right next to them.

"..."

Lindsay shrugged, paused his killing spree, crouched down and went into stealth mode.

Taking advantage of the free time while sneaking in, he sorted out the materials he had collected when killing the mutant just now.

"Corrupted Venom - can only be used to make poison; Rotten Tumor - after use, it will provide a strength bonus for a short period of time, but increase the risk of being completely infected by the corrupted poison; Festering Eyeball - make a powerful distortion potion that can instantly transform a living person into a distorter..."

"What is all this?"

Lindsay's face was full of disgust.

Especially after seeing these monsters keeping humans in captivity, he was 100% averse to such things. Even if it could bring powerful strength, Lindsay was absolutely unwilling to use it.

After flipping through the synthesis lists of these materials, Lindsay finally found a formula for synthesizing a normal piece of equipment.

[1 Rotten Skin + 3 Leather + 1 High-grade Silk Thread = Poison-resistant Cloak]

Lindsay has all these materials.

But just as he was about to try to synthesize it, his squatting steps slowed down again.

Just ahead, Lindsay felt a very obvious fluctuation of source essence.

Corruption, malice, erosion...

With Lindsay's current perception ability, he can already discern the malice in it.

"It's right in front."

Lindsay realized that the culprit who commanded these aberrations was in the rear.

After his massacre of underground mutants was interrupted, the commander also realized something.

So he stopped controlling the monsters.

Instead, focus on yourself, be strictly vigilant of your surroundings, and prepare to face the next enemy.

Lindsay continued to move forward, and at the end of the tunnel was a large underground cave.

pat-

He walked in it and stepped on the puddles on the ground, and he felt that the water source below was also infected by the poison of corruption.

Because of this step, Lindsay's stealth state was instantly invalidated.

"Ok?"

"Are these corrupting poisons helping him monitor the environment?"

Lindsay looked up.

And right in the center of the cave, there is a milky yellow rock platform.

A tall and handsome man was sitting in the darkness. He did not have any characteristics of a deformed person, but his corrupted essence seemed to have a foul smell, which naturally made people feel disgusted.

The enemy calmly looked in the direction where Lindsay appeared:
"As expected, he came."

The man spoke in an ancient language, and his voice was so soft that it was basically just a mutter.

However, Lindsay's keen hearing still caught the tiny movement.

He also spoke in ancient language:

"I came here to confirm one thing first."

"Those humans who were kept in captivity were the ones you ordered the Deviants to do, right?"

"..."

"Ok?"

The man on the rock was a little surprised by Lindsay's ancient language.

He looked at Lindsay suspiciously, and at the same time stood up, breaking away from the connection with the surrounding corrupt water flow:

"You guys can actually speak the common language?"

Lindsay sneered and replied:

"Unfortunately, the common language you speak of is an ancient language that no one uses anymore."

The man looked at Lindsay carefully, his face serious:
"This essence... life, but what is your skill? Why can't I feel the power of war or law? If you knew history, you would know how outrageous it is to go against us. Outsiders should just watch the battle quietly!"

Such a tone.

Lindsay directly confirmed the other party's identity.

He looked at the other person standing up. At this moment, he was not worried about the enemy launching an attack, but was afraid that the other person would escape early.

"I roughly know your origins. Now - let me tell you some good news."

Lindsay drew his sword as he thought.

The man opposite was also fearless and just looked at Lindsay:

"good news?"

Lindsay gave a wild and dangerous smile:

"Your dear Extinction Crown was successfully revived several years ago."

"What a pity, I had to force it back again!"
