My different world is game mode.

Chapter 679: Island Palace
It was getting dark now.

Seeing such a change happening in Green Island City.

Ordinary people who were not slaves immediately went into the house, locked the door, and showed no intention of coming out.

Look at those who are awakened.

Some of them rushed towards the direction of the golden light of the law, while others only cared about themselves and also looked for hiding places in the city, ignoring these things.

"..."

This scene happened before my eyes.

Lindsay also began to face critical choices.

He was going to move on, enter the center of the city as planned, and take away the thing that was full of life force.

Or should we turn around and go back to support Hildreth and Alorn?

Lindsay immediately opened the map.

As it turned out, what was happening was not what he had imagined. After the two were discovered, they were besieged by the awakened people of Green Island City.

The opposite is true.

Hildrede and Aron, along with other rescued slaves, were rampaging through the city.

Wherever they went, they broke into the enemy's houses and killed the awakened ones.

Then he freed the slaves under the other side.

With the cooperation of the two fifth-stage awakeners, no one could resist for a while in the Green Island City where the defense was empty.

The team kept killing as they went, and the number of its members kept growing.

There are many other rescued awakened people who join them.

Even in Green Island City, there are loyal awakened people who want to stop this team that is growing like a snowball.

But in the face of an enemy that has both quantitative and qualitative advantages.

They are often not a match for the enemy and will be killed in a flash.

"..."

Lindsay stood there in silence.

If it was a passive discovery, then according to the original plan, Hildreth and Aron should have fled out of the city instead of staying in the city.

Thoughts ran through Lindsay's mind like a white horse.

He immediately realized the purpose of Hildre and Aron's abnormal behavior.

The two rescued as many slaves as possible, while also attracting more attention from Green Island City.

This kind of behavior that invites danger...

“Is this creating opportunities for me?”

"..."

Lindsay's expression was a little surprised, but then she immediately became firm.

In the face of this selfless will to help, any hesitation and mercy would be disrespectful!

Lindsay made a decision instantly.

He turned in a different direction, crouched slightly, and immediately entered stealth mode, speeding up and rushing towards the center of the city.

……

In Green Island City, almost everyone's attention was attracted by the actions of the Law Knights and the Artists.

With the help of stealth skills, no one noticed Lindsay's activities.

Only a few minutes passed.

Lindsay crossed the radius of Green Island City and came to a green lake.

This isolated patch of water in the city was extremely turbid, with sour and smelly bubbles occasionally rising to the surface from the mud at the bottom.

And in the middle of the lake, on the only isolated island.

Huge stones were used to build a low building that looked like a palace, but because it was completely covered with moss, its original appearance could not be recognized at all.

"The soil and the memory of the eroder are connected. Touching the earth will awaken the other. Then this water..."

Lindsay paused and lowered her eyes.

The green lake in front of me didn't look very deep.

Adults, and even children who have just learned to swim, can easily cross this body of water and access the isolated island in the lake.

In such a simple environment, Lindsay had reason to suspect that this was also a means of defense.

So he switched to reconnaissance skills.

[Venom Lake——Acidic liquid containing special source toxins.]

"As expected." Lindsay turned her head and looked around.

He extracted clues from the lakeshore and several footprints around it, combined them with the lake water, and deduced the information in front of him to a deeper level.

[Toxin Nature——The weakened and broken state of [Corruption Poison].]

"..."

Lindsay blinked.

Before coming here, he had imagined what happened to explorers who had arrived in the south of the world. It was not surprising to see the existence of [Corruption Poison] here, especially the weakened one.

Lindsay then took action.

You can't touch the water here, you can't dig the soil, and you can't fly.

So he took out the recycled stones from his bag, built a bridge about half a meter high at the lakeside, and then pulled forward a long bridge suspended in the air, completely parallel to the water surface.

Lindsay stepped onto the long bridge.

This kind of thing, which is only under force on one side and is tens of meters long, is simply a fantasy in terms of mechanical structure.

But Lindsay now has the bonus of [Architecture and Materials Science].

With his skills, the bridge was built like something out of a sandbox pixel game, a completely unreasonable engineering miracle.

“Then, it’s inside.”

Less than half a minute.

Lindsay successfully reached the island in the lake. He put away the materials, half-crouched, and continued walking towards the palace.

The symbol of the serpent king is inside.

Even though she had great confidence in the stealth skills of the horror game, Lindsay still remained extremely careful.

As you walk towards the end, details of the building begin to emerge.

The low palace, like the city, was made of rough bluestone.

Moreover, the details are quite crude, and it is something that was simply built by cutting stones.

There are no sculptures, no seals, no decorations.

The interior of the palace was just a large, empty, unfinished building, with only a relatively spacious chair placed in the central hall.

"..."

Lindsay subconsciously held her breath.

There was no sign of any guards in the empty palace.

Because a man with a bloated figure and energy surging like waves in his body was lying on it.

This is a seventh-stage corrosive being who possesses the ability to assimilate and devour the power of others.

It's just the snake king in front of you.

The other person's body was bloated and deformed beyond recognition.

At first glance, it even looks like he's eaten too much and forced himself to become deformed.

"..."

Lindsay subconsciously wanted to identify the condition of the snake king.

But in time he remembered his own experience.

Artists at the seventh stage are so sensitive that they can detect changes in their emotions with just a glance.

A sixth-stage practitioner can also perceive changes in source quality, even subtle fluctuations like that of a workbench.

Lindsay's knowledge of the Erosion Agents was only a rough approximation.

If this reconnaissance method accidentally wakes up the other party, it would be more trouble than gain.

There is no room for error at this moment.

Lindsay immediately gave up all thoughts of probing.

He just glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, then stopped staring and continued to sneak into the side hall on the left side of the palace.

This place is equally empty, without any interior decoration.

But in the middle of the room, near the wall, there was a large hole in the ground that sloped downward.

It was pitch black underground, with no sign of light.

But Lindsay looked at the map and knew that the road extended all the way to the bottom of the lake island.

The only living person nearby.

And the adventurer that Lindsay imagined was inside.
