Facing the attack, Aaron pressed his right hand and drew out his staff and sword. However, he did not stab the attacking 'beast'. Instead, he drew a circle and stabbed into the darkness in another direction.
when!
There was a dull sound coming from the dark night, as if something was blocking the blade of the sword.
At the same time, the figure of the 'beast' passed directly through Aaron's body, bursting like a soap bubble and disappearing.
He turned out to be just a phantom!
In front of Aaron, the thick darkness gradually dissipated, revealing the huge figure of the 'beast' and its right hand that mutated into a black claw.
At this time, the black claws were firmly grasping the sharp edge of the staff sword.
Aaron's expression did not change at all, and he flicked his left hand around his waist like a flash of lightning. Just like a cowboy's gun-drawing technique, the revolver with a roasted blue color spun into his palm and was aimed at the head of the 'beast' without any hesitation.
Pull the trigger hesitantly.
Bang!
The fire flashed and illuminated the surrounding area.
Aaron saw the 'beast''s eyes full of surprise and fear, and then there was a bloody hole on the other's head.
The huge corpse fell to the ground, and Aaron didn't care. He directly shot the "beast" in the back of the head and shot two more times.
"Isn't it a bit too bullying to use dangerous intuition to cheat?"
After confirming that the 'beast' was completely dead, Aaron whispered and then began to touch the body.
His coin toss was just a deception, but he actually used his own danger sensing ability.
Since being able to communicate with spirits, that dangerous intuition has come to his body.
Then, he didn't feel danger from the phantom of the beast, but he felt a strong threat from the darkness on the other side!
After a while, he took off an iron-black ring from the 'Beast''s right hand, and took out a wallet from the other's arms, which contained 100 pounds that originally belonged to him.
Now, these little cuties are back.
"There is no secret message, and of course there is no map of the ruins..."
Aaron stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed something strange about the wound of the 'beast'.
A red color flowed out and turned into something that looked like a ruby.
"This is... the enrichment of the spirituality of 'Red'. It is very suitable for being swallowed by the Extraordinary of 'Red', or making magical items, and becoming part of some rituals? It is the legacy of the Extraordinary after death..."
Aaron touched the ruby with his fingers and immediately knew some of its physical properties. After understanding the situation, he put the ruby away and threw the body of the 'beast' into the mother river.
Watching the opponent's body rise and fall, Aaron was a little strange: "Why didn't it last when I killed Jack? Was it because he hadn't had time to precipitate, or was the opponent's original substance level too low, and his spirituality could not be completely condensed?"
He didn't think much and left the scene quickly.
…
Golden Rose Street, No. 33.
Aaron returned to his room and did not immediately pass the stone head statue and the location of the divination ruins.
"If this statue really comes from that tomb, this kind of divination is very reliable for me, but I don't want to rush..."
He put the suitcase away and took out the iron-black ring that belonged to the 'Beast'.
This is a weird thing!
The moment Aaron touched the ring, the power of the 'Shining One' confirmed this matter.
However, its corresponding abilities and negative effects are unknown and need to be judged through divination.
After some fiddling, Aaron roughly figured out the ability of the ring.
It can create a phantom that is exactly the same as its real body, and can even imitate and make sounds to deceive enemies, but it has no real attack power.
In addition, the person wearing this ring will gain the ability to better hide themselves in the dark.
"There is no doubt that this is a strange thing that belongs to the path of 'shadow'!"
Aaron nodded: "As for its only negative effect, the longer it is worn, the easier it is to get lost in the darkness... It is a complete secret, which is equivalent to being erased from this world..."
"There's something wrong with this negative effect... It may have been affected by a higher level of original matter when it was formed..."
"Well, let's call it the 'Shadow Ring'..."
The ability of this strange thing is actually not bad. After all, if Aaron didn't have dangerous intuition, he wouldn't be able to discover the fakeness of the phantom of the beast.
"These wild Extraordinaries seem to have some arrogance that they regard themselves as extraordinary... disdain to use ordinary people's weapons... If the 'beast' had brought a gun, tonight's battle would be more dangerous... Not everyone is like Clark
So stubborn..."
"However, if the 'beast' has a firearm or has a helper... the revelation I got from the divination in the party bathroom before is that tonight is not suitable for hunting..."
"Actually, the 'beast' is quite strong. With this strange thing, even if it is surrounded by more than a dozen gunmen, it will only target the phantom and then be killed one by one by hiding in the dark..."
"Sigh... I really don't want to kill the 'Beast'... I'm missing a chess piece to explore the tomb."
Aaron sighed and took out a large map of Green Forest City.
It includes some areas around the city, including wild lands, villages and plantations. The area is quite large, almost the same as the Green Forest map back then.
Immediately, Aaron glanced at the statue with a human head, took out a pendulum hanging with crystal in his hand, and placed it on the map.
“The original location of this statue!”
“The original location of this statue!”
As Aaron muttered, his spiritual energy gradually depleted, and the pendulum began to rotate faster and faster.
Finally, it seemed to be attracted by an invisible force and pointed somewhere on the edge of the map.
"So... is it here?"
Aaron stared at the map, his eyes lit up.
"Even if it doesn't come from the Tomb of Sothos, that place should be full of the spirituality of 'Yao' and is worth exploring!"
…
The next morning.
Warm sunshine shines into the house.
After breakfast, Aaron was lying on an easy chair with a newspaper in his hand.
His eyes quickly passed over some meaningless tidbits, and suddenly his expression became condensed.
[Auguf Auction House has acquired a batch of precious cultural relics from the Fabry Dynasty and will be auctioned on August 20!]
"interesting!"
Aaron raised his hand to pick up a cup of lemon tea from the tea table next to him and took a sip.
'The cultural relics of the Fabry Dynasty... although they should be investigated, may still be extraordinarily relevant. For people in the mysterious world, they are a good attraction...bait? Or is it just a coincidence?'
'Would this appeal to those descendants of Sothos?'
Aaron didn't have much affection for these descendants.
After all, he is not directly related to him, and it is unknown how many generations have passed.
So after waking up, I had no intention of finding them.
'Besides... I am still too weak now, and they have married with nobles and rooted their bloodline to the upper echelons of the Kingdom of Inves, so they should be doing well...'
'The origin of this batch of cultural relics is somewhat suspicious. How about... find a detective to investigate?'
Due to the shortage of police forces at this time, there are many detectives and bounty hunters on the market, which play a supplementary role.
The income of some famous detectives is not much different from that of famous lawyers and senior bank managers!
