Without the slightest hesitation, the driver immediately turned the steering wheel to the side.
And in that instant, I was also pulled to the side of the car by this inertia.
The girl and I bumped right next to the car.
Then I became even more puzzled, because he had just been able to use that secret method to cut off his little finger.
And the method of using this to guide directions is incredibly sophisticated.
As it moved, the hovercar continued to hum as it suddenly rushed through the sparse gaps in the seaweed.
The blue light of the energy field was right in front of them, and under the guidance of the green and yellow arrow light that appeared from the driver's finger, it slowly stabilized.
The speed increased dramatically, completely eliminating the previous snail-paced state.
It's even basically the same speed as when we first started.
"That note...you must have some questions about it, right?"
At this moment, the driver surprisingly spoke up, his voice carrying a hint of explanation.
And there's also a sense of relief.
"I've wanted to know for a long time!"
Yiyi also spoke up at this moment.
"That thing is the catalyst for energy."
Luo Tanhu finally spoke, his voice already sounding very weak.
And I noticed that his bandaged finger no longer felt like it had been ripped off in that instant.
"My fingernails are mixed with mineral powder that combines yin and yang; only the essence of a severed finger can activate this catalyst."
Only then can this guiding light be generated.
That creed was given to me by Lao Liu; he told me it should only be used as a last resort…
The driver was very careful with his words.
Looking at his tiny mosquito-like face wrapped in cloth, I was immediately filled with mixed emotions. Just how many secrets did Old Liu give him?
It's not just about giving directions; it's about cutting off his fingers.
I feel that his action of taking out his heart just now was probably a composite, although we don't know what his specific purpose was.
However, I think there must be a deeper meaning behind this, otherwise why would he use this to scare us for no reason!
"Why didn't you use it sooner?"
The girl asked in a low voice.
The driver didn't say anything, but just glanced at us and said calmly.
"I used this once and it took me half my life to be gone!"
And I had no idea he could take such a toll on me! I'm still completely out of breath!
At this moment, the driver stood still and slowly explained.
I was rather astonished.
Sure enough, it seems he was just a test subject. Even if you took out his heart just now, you wouldn't feel this way.
"Your heart just now..."
"That's nothing, after all, it wasn't originally mine... but my little finger is mine!"
I didn't ask any more questions, but I was full of doubts. Although he said that the little finger was his, he never really cherished it.
Why would someone cut off their little finger without saying a word? Was it just to get out of this seaweed field?
Guided by the green light, the hovercar sped through the seaweed, and what was once just a narrow path now felt like navigating through a cornfield.
The cruel seaweed, upon seeing this light, seemed to be afraid and retreated to the side.
The route, which had initially deviated somewhat, was now being corrected little by little, and the scenery ahead was becoming increasingly clear.
The light around us grew brighter and brighter, as did the blue light beneath our feet.
I can feel that we're getting faster and faster!
This speed is like driving a race car; in an instant, our speed is twice as fast as before, and even more.
"Master, won't something like this cause you harm?"
The cars here seem to be going even faster than before!
I couldn't help but ask, and although it was somewhat of a compliment, it was indeed something this guy deserved. His current speed was completely different from when he first started!
I don't know what kind of effort that driver put in to get this, but no matter what, he deserves respect for his sacrifice, whether it's his beard, his heart, or that finger.
Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that the driver was helping us move forward in a self-destructive way.
Even using this navigation method could result in some losses for him.
“Master, this guy is actually quite capable. At first, I thought he was just an ordinary driver.”
However, it seems that what Lao Liu said was right. Since he can lead us to basic skills, he must be really good at it.
He can't possibly find someone who isn't very professional to do this for us!
Seeing the Thunder Sword aligning with the increased speed and direction of the vehicle, he was extremely excited.
He trembled violently there, then exclaimed in admiration.
I mentally agreed with him; indeed, this guy had already done enough.
The driver didn't say much. He drove for a while until the surrounding scenery gradually changed from seaweed to open space again before he glanced at us.
Then it slowly opened.
“If I don’t send you, I will die too. This is not only beneficial to you.”
As he spoke, he pressed his chest again, using the ring finger next to the severed finger.
Watching this scene, I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
However, this feeling was fleeting.
I looked at the driver and didn't know what to say. He had helped us with so much, and even got himself into this state.
But this is his job, after all. I can't be too moved by his misery. I think that's the point.
"otherwise……"
At this moment, the girl also spoke softly to me.
I understand what he means; he wants me or him to help the driver.
To be honest, I could help him, but we don't have much food left right now!
It only has these few sea marrow pieces left!
I touched it casually, and the sea marrow behind it was still warm.
Even in the deep sea, it is still very warm.
