Chapter 1249: Reorientation
"Even in a world like the [Four Directions], not every thing has to rely on the means of the mysterious side to solve it."
Ronald looked at Lilu, who was talking there, turned his head and took two steps around, then jumped into a hole.
"Lilu, when facing difficulties, you must not limit your vision to your own habits."
Ronald took a closer look at the hole.
Then he didn't think twice or linger, but immediately jumped into another pit and began to observe it as simply as before.
While Ronald is hopping around alone in the hole, Lilu also contacts their mermaid association. After informing the other side of the latest news, she quickly returned to Ronald's side.
At this time, Ronald was concentrating on his work, and his figure jumping back and forth in various holes was as sensitive as a rabbit.
Lilu looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but ask:
"Do you get anything out of jumping around like this?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"Of course, and I already have the approximate result now."
Lilu's expression was obviously not very convinced, so Ronald pointed to her where she had just moved:
"The direction led by the blood stains before gives us the answer to the purpose of coming to this world. I don't think Caterina will leave only such a message, so you look around, what else can carry the message? ”
"The potholes themselves?" Lilu understood the purpose of Ronald's operation, but she still didn't come to a conclusion at the first time, "But what's so special about them?" Even if you raise the position and connect the holes, it doesn't look like a handwriting-type message. ”
Ronald gave his analysis to Lilu:
"After all, this is the [Sifang Heaven], and leaving such an obvious hint is definitely risky."
"So, there's a more secretive way here."
Lilu completely substituted for Ronald's point of view, following the other party's guidance and looking around: "What did you find?" ”
"The way of impact." Ronald's tone was affirmative, "Although these potholes are scattered, if you look closely, you can see that they crack at a fairly consistent angle. ”
"Not surprisingly, this must be the result of the attacker's move in one direction."
Lilu suddenly realized.
She followed Ronald's thoughts and likewise jumped in to inspect the pothole.
After personally verifying several potholes, Lilu found consistency in the direction of the potholes, and thus understood the purpose of Ronald's actions:
"You're going back and forth to make this direction as accurate as possible."
Ronald smiled and nodded:
"After all, there is no reference here, and if we want to ensure that our second journey will not go wrong, we can only work more on the starting direction."
Hearing this, Lilu no longer had any doubts.
The two of them confirmed back and forth on this unchanging pothole, trying to restore an accurate direction of progress as much as possible.
It's not a difficult task, it's just a matter of patience and careful collaboration.
Ronald and the two went back and forth, repeatedly confirming.
Finally, half an hour later, they confirmed a position with the highest accuracy to date.
This time, without Ronald opening his mouth, Lilu took the initiative to propose a way of action:
"Or are you flying with me?"
Ronald nodded, then added:
"I'm going to slow down this time, though, and we'd better not miss any details along the way."
Hearing this, Lilu couldn't help but laugh a little as she looked at the wasteland around her:
"In such a desolate place, even if you want to ignore the details, it's impossible."
"Anyway, let's get going."
“……”
The two of them started to rush again, but their mentality was completely different from before.
The news of the [Four Directions] obtained from the water elemental made both Ronald and Lilu understand what kind of incident they were in now.
If something really goes wrong.
When the time comes, the safety of individuals will be put aside, and even other worlds will face a great crisis. This is by no means a pretense of composure or a small problem to cover up the past, but a real sword of Damocles hanging over the head!
Flying in the dry region, this time the exploration process is completely different from the previous ones.
Just over a quarter of an hour after departure, Lilu found a clue in the air, and then pointed to the ground and reminded Ronald:
"Ronald, look over there!"
In the direction Lilu was pointing, there were some signs of potholes on the ground.
The potholes were almost identical to the ones the two had inspected when they set off.
The only difference is that there is no blood in it, and there is a certain increase in the number of them.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Ronald immediately lowered his altitude and checked the battlefield with Lilu.
More details were revealed during careful examination.
The impact marks left by the attack in this area have changed direction compared to the previous one, and Ronald and the others obviously need to change the direction of their progress again.
However, because of the increase in the number of potholes, with more references, it is much easier to confirm the direction.
Skillfully confirming the direction, Lilu accosted Ronald at work:
"Ronald, if I'm not mistaken, the place we are now should be a dry region dominated by fire elements?"
"I think that's right." Ronald agreed with Lilu, "There are sleeping giants awakening on the other side of the mountains, and water elementals on the other side of the sea, but in this place, we don't meet anyone we can talk to. This is probably the case for the ......"
Before Ronald could finish speaking, Lilu said what she expected:
"Probably because the fire elementals on this side of the Dry Regions discovered that someone had invaded, and then they all went after them. These potholes in front of us are the traces of the fight left by the two groups of people in the chase. ”
Speaking of this, Ronald felt some emotion in his heart.
After learning about the specific situation of [Sifang Tian], he also had a new view on the previous bloodstains - after all, where did the elemental creatures get their blood?
This could only be a misdirection left by Katarina.
The purpose may be to allow Ronald to come into contact with the aborigines of the Four Heavens to understand the specific situation; It is also possible to lead them to the past, and there are other purposes.
"Alright, the direction is decided, let's continue to go!"
After a brief exchange and probing, Ronald reactivates the spell and moves on with Lilu.
On the subsequent journeys, the frequency of such encounters began to increase.
Ronald: They also change direction more often.
It wasn't until after a four-hour long journey that at the end of the field of view, they found a different border.
It was a place where the air was strange and the color was different, the opposite of the most common feeling of dryness in the aridlands:
Lilu, who is particularly sensitive to temperature, immediately reminded:
"Ronald, it's very cold over there!"
"We better be careful!"
