"I'm so glad you're alright … … so glad … …"
After saying this, it died.
In front of Lin was an Elite lying on the ground. It had a satisfied expression, as if it was just sleeping.
However, there were many wounds all over its body, and its armor was broken, as if it had been trampled on by a mammoth. It seemed that even with these wounds, it had still lived for a while. Lin Sanjiu could sense that Atlan's vitality was quite strong.
Lin tossed the rattlesnake in her hands to the side of the grass, then found a few crystals and other useful items on the Elite's body, as well as its remaining arrows.
After taking these items, Lin glanced at the rattlesnake, which was staring at her from the grass.
Should he continue to bring it along? Lin hesitated for a moment, then decided to ignore it. She was already very close to the lake, and all she needed to do was prepare her weapons.
With this in mind, Lin continued walking … …
Speaking of which, Ershi had said that she would eventually find the location information that he had left for Lin, but how was she supposed to obtain it?
Did she just have to live here for a while? Or did she have to do something special? Currently, she didn't have any clues.
So she could only analyze the crystals to find out the specifics … … That was … …
Suddenly, Lin noticed a thick plume of smoke rising in the distance. When she got closer, she could see a flickering fire under the smoke.
It seemed to be burning … …
This grassland was very dry, and most of the grass was dry. Although she didn't know how the fire started, if it spread, it would probably spread very far.
Many creatures were running away from the flames, but not all of them were running away. Lin noticed that some birds were flying around the flames. They were hunting for insects that flew out of the flames.
"Awooo … …!" Suddenly, a cry came from the flames, and a mammoth charged out of the flames, running away with its smoking body.
This mammoth couldn't have been … …
With that in mind, Lin quickly approached the burning flames. Under the rolling heatwave, Lin looked into the flames and could barely see a burnt creature inside.
It seemed to be an Origin? Lin thought that it was an Elite that started the fire. Could it be an Origin?
Lin felt that they probably didn't know how to start a fire. However, it was possible that some of the Origin Race members were still alive and wanted to take revenge … … Forget it, it didn't matter. They wouldn't be able to survive in there anyways.
Lin then left the burning area and walked towards the lake.
While walking, Lin paid close attention to her surroundings, but there didn't seem to be any creatures that wanted to ambush her, so she returned to this place before nightfall.
Something seemed to have happened in this place.
After returning, Lin saw two familiar wooden houses and wooden spikes inserted around them as a 'fence'. There wasn't much damage on the whole, except for some wooden splinters.
Look at those wooden thorns. It was disrupted by a powerful force. Lin suspected that it was the work of a creature like the Short-Faced Bear. The creature broke the wooden spikes and approached the two wooden huts, but it didn't cause any damage to the huts. The only thing it did was eat the startail beast's meat that was placed inside the huts.
The meat was supposed to be made into jerky, and the shells of the Startail Beasts were all over the place. However, the food that they brought from the ship was still intact.
As for the elites … … not a single one of them was here.
Lin felt that they should have some common sense and left a few here because Lin might return. Could it be that they were all outside looking for Lin? Or that they had encountered some kind of situation?
Lin could still see the smoke rising in the distance, but she still felt that the flames had something to do with the elites.
Although she thought so, her fragile character had no way of confirming it.
So, Lin repaired the wooden spikes and started a bonfire in the huts, spending the night here.
When the day came, Lin decided to explore the area and see what was going on nearby. At the same time, she needed to go hunting because there wasn't enough food.
When Lin came out of the wooden house, she saw a large group of small black figures swaying by the river in the distance, drinking water around the lake.
They looked like a very suitable target for hunting. They were dozens of centimeters long and were small in size. Lin's character also felt that they were 'cute'.
They were called 'Ring-necked Siberian Lions'. There were 30 of them in this group, most of them drinking water while others were lying on the ground resting.
Although Lin's character felt that they were 'cute', when Lin picked up the crossbow and aimed at them, she didn't feel any 'pity' or anything like that.
This was still good, otherwise she might miss due to various emotions.
Whoosh! An arrow flew out and pierced the head of a Siberian Lion that was lying on the ground resting. It didn't even have time to scream before it died.
However, the surrounding Siberian Lions screamed loudly. They screamed and ran into the grass, all of them disappearing in an instant.
It seemed that she could only catch one at most … …
Lin walked over and picked up the Siberian Lion that she had killed. Now that she had caught some prey, she should go look for the elites.
At first, Lin wanted to go look for them, but now she felt that it was better not to go out. There were indeed many dangers outside.
So, she just needed to raise a 'signal' here so that they would notice. For this, she needed some materials that could produce thick smoke.
Thinking about this, Lin started a bonfire and tried to find various materials to throw in to see if thick smoke would appear.
Lin found that there was a type of grass that could produce thick smoke when thrown into the bonfire. Lin decided to use this as a signal. It should be able to be seen from very far away.
At the same time, Lin also used the bonfire to cook some Siberian Lion meat. This … … also had a tasty taste.
However, Lin waited for a long time after eating her fill. During this time, no elites came back.
It wasn't that there was no smoke, but that something had happened. If they all died … … then could this mission still continue?
If Lin's character survived, there was no way to continue the Atlan civilization.
She should go look for them. Even if something happened to them, she should at least find out what happened. Even if they were eaten, the metal armor wouldn't be digested, so she should be able to find something.
If they died … … then she could restart. After all, Lin felt that if they all died, the mission of establishing the civilization would be impossible.
Then she should prepare first.
This was … …
