  Chapter 36 Trees and Deer

  After he stopped using the Secret Eye, Renekton felt that the blood-red eyes that stared at him through the vines also disappeared, and the feeling of depression in his heart suddenly eased.

  "The Secret Eye is indeed very powerful when used actively, but it is also very dangerous. It's a bit like a saying, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you." Renekton commented on the Secret Eye in his heart.

  The terrible thing is that the Secret Eye can't be turned off at all. Although it is not as powerful as when it is used actively, it is easy to trigger the active Secret Eye uncontrollably by subconsciously staring and looking after seeing something.

  "No wonder the Secret Eye Path is so easy to get out of control. It's not all the fault of the Hidden Sage. This path is easy to see dirty things." Renekton used his inner complaints to reduce the depression brought by the surrounding environment.

  As the few people moved forward, Renekton felt that the air around him began to become humid, mixed with the pollen of the surrounding plants, and had a sticky feeling, which was very uncomfortable.

  I don't know when the fog started around, and I couldn't see clearly at a distance.

  The changes one after another made Renekton's nerves tense. Especially the vague sense of being watched became stronger and stronger.

  "Do you feel that your physical strength is being consumed faster?" Jin asked with some uncertainty.

  "I didn't notice this." Renekton shook his head. He was not very sensitive to the consumption of physical strength.

  Mr. Kos also shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

  "There is one thing, I thought it was my illusion. My body has been transformed by alchemy and is not quite the same as that of ordinary people." Usser agreed with Jin's statement.

  "Is it because of the pollen in the air?" Renekton subconsciously thought of the sticky air.

  "It's possible, but I can't be sure." Jin couldn't give a definite answer.

  "The things here are consciously consuming my physical strength, and there is also hallucinogenic poison gas, and this diffuse fog. It seems that the other party wants to slowly consume us?" Renekton made an analysis based on the current situation.

  "It's very likely." Mr. Kos said.

  "Disperse!" A word of dragon language came out of Mr. Kos's mouth, and an invisible wind quickly spread around with Mr. Ix as the center.

  Renekton felt that the air was much fresher, and the fog around him was also dispelled a lot, but it soon began to spread again.

  "This area covers too much, and it is beyond the effective range of the dispelling spell." Mr. Kos quickly gave a conclusion.

  "Use fire?" Jin asked hesitantly.

  "The air humidity here is too high, fire may not work, and even if it works, how can we get out by ourselves?" Mr. Kos rejected Jin's proposal.

  "Should we try to cut off these vines and see what happens?" Renekton suggested.

  When he found that these vines were all in one, Renekton wanted to cut off some vines to see what would happen.

  Mr. Kos thought for a while before looking at Ussel: "Okay, try it?"

  Ussel nodded: "Try it!"

  Seeing that most people agreed with this idea, Jin took off the sickle on his back, walked to a vine that hung down from a height and took root in the ground, and swung the sickle vigorously.

  "Squeak!" The vine was cut off, and scarlet juice flowed out of it, like blood.

  As this vine was cut off, all the surrounding vines began to shake, as if every vine felt the pain of being cut off.

  "Everyone, come closer, be careful!" Mr. Kos was interrupted before he finished speaking.

  Several vines suddenly turned dark black, and then stabbed towards the position where Jin and Renekton were.

  Jin retreated while waving the sickle in his hand, cutting off all the dark vines rushing towards him. Thick black water flowed out of the cut vines, which scattered on Jin's body, and immediately a sizzling corrosion sound was heard.

  Renekton bent down and rolled on the ground twice when the dark vines rushed towards him, avoiding the position where he was standing before. But the dark vines behind him turned and chased Renekton like a living thing.

  Several vines on the ground behind Renekton broke out of the ground and entangled with the vines rushing towards Renekton.

  Renekton breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up and moved closer to Mr. Kos.

  "Yo!" A deep and melodious sound, like the sound of an ancient forest, rang out, as if penetrating the soul, and kept echoing in the minds of Renekton and others.     Renekton felt that his mind seemed to be slowing down, as if he had fallen into a wonderful long sleep, and he was unwilling to wake up no matter what, and his body became stiff.

  Renekton also realized that there was something wrong with the sound just now, but he could no longer react, and could only hope for his teammates.

  "No, I must find a way to get rid of this state. I don't know when my teammates will react, but the guys hiding in the dark will not miss the opportunity." Renekton tried hard to use his slow mind and wanted to come up with a solution.

  "What should I do? What should I do? No, I have to calm down! I have to calm down!" Renekton felt that his mind was a mess. He knew that he needed to think calmly, but he couldn't calm down.

  "Is there anything that can suppress this kind of cry? Pray to God? But who can I pray to? Right, myself, I have the characteristics of a sage." Renekton caught a flash of inspiration in his mind.

  He immediately began to try to meditate. A ring made of countless gears and pipes, with a huge pupilless eye in the middle, and several chains like tentacles swaying around it. On the gears and the huge pupilless eye, the rising smoke and sparks were all golden sand flowing.

  As the meditation took shape, Renekton felt that his slow thinking had finally returned to normal, and the stiffness in his body disappeared, as if everything just now was just a nightmare.

  A peeping gaze with strong malice came from all directions, as if staring at Renekton fiercely. Along with this gaze came a miserable howl, as if it was tortured greatly.

  Renekton felt that the other party had spied on the characteristics of the Sequence 2 through him.

  Renekton ended his meditation and found the other party's location along the connection of the moment when the other party spied on him.

  "Didn't your mother teach you not to look at things you shouldn't look at?" Renekton couldn't help but complain when he heard the constant wailing in his ears.

  Then he took out a dispelling spell from his coat pocket and whispered a word in the dragon language, "Dispel".

  An invisible wind quickly spread around, dispelling the surrounding substances with negative effects.

  The dispelling spell failed to dispel the state of Mr. Kos and the others, and they still maintained their previous postures stiffly, but Renekton could see from their eyes that their minds were much clearer.

  Seeing that Mr. Kos and the others could not get rid of the negative state they were in for a while, Renekton had to give up the idea of ​​continuing to try, and there was no better way. Although there were bullets with purification effects, it was impossible to give everyone one shot.

  Renekton walked to Jin who was standing stiffly on the side: "Borrow it for a while, I'll return it to you later."

  Without caring whether Jin refused or agreed, he took the sickle from him directly. The moment the sickle was in his hand, Renekton felt a force surging from the sickle, and at the same time, there was the skill of using the sickle. At this moment, Renekton seemed to have transformed himself into a sickle master.

  But at the same time, Renekton also felt that the blood in his body was flowing at an abnormal speed.

  "I have to put down this sickle in three minutes at most, and there may be other side effects." Renekton concluded silently in his heart.

  Holding the sickle, Renekton took out a confinement spell from his pocket with his empty left hand and held it in his hand. Then he walked towards the mutant hiding in the dark.

  Taking advantage of the fact that the other party fell into a negative state because of peeping at the angel-level item, Renekton planned to try to deal with the other party.

  As Renekton went deeper, the vines here were bright red compared to the previous green, and some of the vines even grew bright red leaves. The shape of these leaves was like bats hanging upside down on the vines.

  There were also some vines that merged with the surrounding trees, and these trees also underwent exaggerated deformation, as if they were about to rise from the ground.

  Suppressing the faint uneasiness in his heart, Renekton continued to explore forward. Passing by the deformed trees that seemed to be guarding, the fog behind became thinner, and Renekton could clearly see the scene deeper.

  A huge deer. No. It's not a huge tree. That's not right.

  Renekton felt that the other party was like a bug in this world. No matter whether his mind wanted to judge the other party as a deer or a tree, he would involuntarily deny his own judgment. So that Renekton's idea of ​​"the other party is" could not take shape.

  But Renekton could clearly see what the other party looked like. It was a huge deer, with roots growing out of the soles of its feet firmly fixed on the ground, and antlers growing like ancient trees, with vines entwined on it connecting all directions.

  But the next moment, the image of the other party in Renekton's eyes turned into a huge tree, growing into the shape of a deer, with red and green leaves like stripes on the body of a deer. There were countless vines entwined on the tree and spreading in all directions.

  But no matter which image it was, the deer or the tree was wailing in pain, trying to struggle and twitch its body, but it was firmly fixed in place by the roots and could not move, and could only sway its upper body (swaying the branches).

  "Oh~oh~~" Painful wails sounded from all directions, as if it was not just what he saw, but every blade of grass and every tree here was part of the other party's body.

  This wailing sound had a kind of bewitching power. The moment Renekton heard this sound, countless sorrow and pain surged in his heart, and he even wanted to end his life. Chapter 37 Amon

  With the experience of being bewitched by the voice of the creature that was not sure whether it was a deer or a tree, Renekton meditated as soon as he realized that his state was not right.

  As an image of gears, chains, and pupilless eyes formed by the flow of countless golden sand grains was outlined, Renekton felt that the negative state of his body was dispelled again.

  "Imprison!" A word of dragon language came out of Renekton's mouth.

  The talisman held in Renekton's left hand turned into ashes, and an invisible wave rushed towards the huge monster in front with Renekton's will.

  The other party's painful screams and shaking body stagnated for a moment, but in less than a breath, the other party's body resumed shaking. Renekton only had time to draw his gun and shoot a purification bullet.

  After that, Renekton fired two more shots, but the huge monster was obviously just struggling and shaking its body in pain, but it always managed to dodge the bullets in a weird posture. It was as if the other party's body instinctively controlled the body to avoid being hurt.

  After seeing that the shooting effect was not obvious, Renekton gave up the idea of ​​continuing to shoot. There were not many purification bullets, so he had to try his best to make the most of them.

  Putting the pistol back into the gun bag on his waist, Renekton twisted the sickle he took from Jin and walked to the side, trying to clean up the vines spreading from the monster.

  Renekton's intuition told him that these vines were very important to the opponent, and these vines were originally part of the opponent's body. Cutting them off would also cause damage to the main body of the monster.

  When he saw the main body of the monster, Renekton abandoned the idea

  of ​​rushing up with the sickle to cut the opponent. In the face of suicide and passion, Renekton decisively chose to be cowardly.

  "This sickle seems to inspire the recklessness and courage of the holder, but it is still within the range of restraint." Renekton also realized at this time that his previous impulsive thoughts came from the negative effects of the sickle in his hand.

  Renekton stopped after cleaning the surrounding vines with the sickle for a while. The strength of these vines was much higher than Renekton expected, and it was not as easy as Jin's previous actions.

  "We are all Sequence Eight, the gap shouldn't be that big! It can't be that these vines can be considered the doctor's patients!" Renekton felt that he didn't understand why Jin was so easy to attack before.

  Renekton stopped his movements, looked around, and mentally calculated the number of vines around and his own physical strength, and decisively chose to give up the idea of ​​clearing these vines.

  After returning to the previous position, Renekton threw the sickle directly on the ground. Since just now, Renekton has been holding the sickle for nearly three minutes, which is already the limit.

  Since he can't cause any actual damage to this huge monster, he might as well test the damage of various extraordinary bullets to it. With an idea, Renekton immediately started to act.

  Renekton took out the pistol from the gun bag again, took out all the purification bullets inside, and replaced them with two bullets with burning and shocking effects.

  Then he shot at the huge body of the monster in front of him.

  The bullet with burning effect left a red track in the air, and then sank into the body of the monster opposite, which was like a giant tree. Red flames ignited on the monster's body, and there was a tendency to spread to the surroundings.

  However, the image of this monster in Renekton's eyes turned into a giant deer with huge antlers, roots growing on its feet, and vines entwined.

  As the image of the monster changed, the flames that had spread on it gradually disappeared, leaving only a palm-sized black spot on its body. Compared with the opponent's huge body, this palm-sized black spot can be completely ignored.

  "Can you avoid damage of different attributes by changing your own image?" Renekton whispered.

  Then he fired again, this time with a stun bullet. The bullet itself did not look special, but when it hit the giant deer, it caused a layer of ripples on its body, and there was a faint dragon roar echoing.

  The giant deer's body then froze in place, and the opponent's image of switching between deer and tree began to become unstable. Different parts of the body switched between the state of deer and tree at different frequencies, and it looked like the world was stuck with a bug.     Seeing that the stun bullets had an unexpected effect, Renekton replaced all the remaining bullets in his pistol with stun bullets, and then fired them all at the opponent's changing body.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang~!"

  Several bullets hit the monster's body in succession, making the opponent's switching between different states more frequent and faster.

  "This state, like being stuck in a bug, always makes people feel a little uneasy. But the angel said that there is no clone of Amon here." Renekton didn't know where his uneasiness came from.

  "What if the one here is not the clone?" A whisper sounded in Renekton's ears.

  The emotions of uneasiness and fear instantly filled Renekton's body, and he looked up stiffly in the direction where the sound came from.

  The monster that was constantly switching between the deer and the tree had stopped switching its body state at some point, and turned into a suture of a giant deer and a giant tree.

  A human face grew on the monster of this suture, a human face with black curly hair, black eyes, a wide forehead, and a thin face. There was a monocle whose material could not be seen at the right eye of the human face.

  Renekton felt that his heart almost stopped, and a voice kept echoing in his mind: "Amon".

  "Didn't they say that there were no more clones of Amon?" Renekton shouted silently in his heart.

  Renekton felt that his mood at the moment was extremely complicated, as if he was still fighting monsters in the Novice Village, but a wild boss suddenly jumped out of the bushes beside him.

  "Strictly speaking, I am not a clone, and I am not parasitic on anything." The human face of Amon that grew on the giant monster seemed to have heard Renekton's thoughts and responded.

  Renekton did not listen to Amon's words or think about them. One sentence after another of the dragon language came out of Renekton's mouth: "The power of knowledge, the power of reason, the god of wisdom."

  But the voice disappeared as soon as it was spoken, as if it had never appeared.

  Renekton did not expect that the name of the God of Knowledge that he recited would be useful. Even if Amon had not stolen it, the God of Knowledge would not necessarily pay attention to a believer who disguised himself.

  Renekton silently recited another honorific name in his mind using the dragon language.

  "The angel of knowledge and wisdom, the ancient guardian, the eyes that see through the world, the wise man sitting in the sky, the guardian of reason and knowledge."

  Although this angel was not the real body in Madan, he was an angel under the throne of the God of Knowledge. As long as he came, the God of Knowledge would definitely look over.

  I don't know if it was intentional by Amon's clone, or because of his poor condition, the other party did not steal the thoughts in Renekton's mind, or the other party had already stolen them, but Renekton himself didn't know.

  As Renekton finished reciting the honorific name of the angel in his mind, nothing happened around him.

  "What's the situation? Is there a delay? Do I have to recite it out loud? Or did the other party get scared after seeing Amon?" Renekton felt confused.

  "You seem familiar with me?" The face of Amon spoke again. Chapter 38 The Favored One of Knowledge

  Renekton felt relaxed because he could not think of any solution to the dilemma.

  He stared at the face of Amon that grew on the huge stitched monster in front of him, and was somewhat curious about how the other party managed to avoid the sight of the God of Knowledge.

  "It's very simple. I said that I am not a clone, nor do I parasitize any creature. I am just a time worm with no power and only a very high status. Compared with a clone, it is more like a magical item with no use." Amon's face naturally answered Renekton's doubts.

  "Damn! Is this using the ability to steal thoughts as mind reading? It's really a trick!" Renekton couldn't help but complain in his heart.

  "You seem to know the ability of the thief's path very well. You figured out how I read your thoughts so quickly." Amon's big face showed a frightening curiosity.

  "Do you want to be my Favored One? I am very interested in you." Amon's voice was full of temptation.

  Renekton didn't even dare to shake his head to refuse, for fear that the other party would distort the meaning of his expression, and then he would directly become the other party's Favored One.

  Renekton, Amon's follower, didn't believe it. He thought it was more convincing to say that it was Amon's toy.

  "You are very cautious! Don't you really want to consider becoming my follower?" Amon continued.

  "Buzz~"

  A huge noise came from the sky, deep into the soul. Renekton felt that his thoughts were frozen at this moment, as if his whole body and soul resonated with this roar at this moment.

  "Oh! It's boring!" Amon's mocking voice sounded in his ears.

  Amon's voice made Renekton's mind clear to a certain extent. Although it was not enough for him to react, at least he could receive information from the outside world.

  A bright light of pale gold fell from the sky, as if piercing the light of the sky. Even though it was daytime, it was extremely dazzling and eye-catching.

  This light fell in front of Renekton almost instantly, completely covering the huge stitched monster with Amon's face. Everything covered by the light was being purified, whether it was the fine dust in the air or the soil and gravel on the ground.

  Renekton felt that his eyes were going blind, but due to the huge roar before, Renekton could not close his eyes at all.

  The pale golden light quickly covered Renekton's entire field of vision, and his eyes felt a burning pain, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

  "The Favored One of Knowledge!" Amon's voice echoed intermittently.

  The surroundings soon returned to silence, and there was no wind. Renekton even wondered if his ears were also affected.

  After suffering in silence for an unknown period of time, Renekton suddenly felt a breeze blowing, and his eyes fell into darkness.

  "You are really unlucky!" This seemed to be the voice of the angel, but it was not quite the same as the voice when the other party's crow's body appeared before.

  Renekton's consciousness was a little fuzzy, and he did not hear the other party's subsequent words clearly.

  When Renekton recovered, there was no trace of the angel around, and the crow did not appear, but the vague figures of Captain Ikonton and the Archbishop of the Harvest Church appeared in front of him.

  The hand of the giant bishop of the Harvest Church gently passed over Renekton's eyes. Renekton felt that the interference and stinging in his eyes suddenly dissipated most of the time, and even his vision became much clearer.

  "Okay, except for the injury to your eyes caused by looking at the strong light, there is no big problem with you. Just pay attention to your eyes in the next two days, and you will recover soon." The giant bishop's voice was very gentle, as if it could soothe people's hearts.

  "Thank you! Bishop Aisi." Renekton hurriedly saluted the giant bishop.

  "It's okay, but can you tell me what happened just now? Ussell and Jin don't know much." The giant bishop responded gently.

  Renekton turned his head slightly and glanced at his captain. Seeing that the captain nodded slightly at him.

  Renekton then told the story of what he and his friends had just encountered with a little concealment.

  He changed his way of getting rid of the negative effects of the monster's voice through meditation to a feather given to him by the angel of the Church of Knowledge to get rid of the negative state.

  Anyway, the angel did give him a feather. As for whether the real purpose of the feather is this, if you have any questions, go to the angel to confirm it yourself.

  "I see. Thanks to the timely arrival of the angel, otherwise things would have gone out of control like last time." The giant bishop said with emotion, his face full of relief.

  "The angel actually told you his name. Perhaps he had foreseen what happened today." Captain Ikonton's tone was full of envy and regret for not being able to come to see the angel earlier.

  Renekton felt that the image of his captain in his heart had collapsed. He didn't expect that his captain, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually chase stars.     "Uh" Renekton wanted to say to the captain that you think too much, I took the initiative to ask the angel, but before he could say it, Renekton suddenly remembered that the cherubim, who was already at Sequence 2, had already strengthened his prophetic ability more than once at Sequence 4.

  "It should be like this." Renekton changed the words that he had not yet said.

  "Did His Majesty allow you to reveal His honorable name?" Captain Ikonton asked curiously.

  "Uh, I don't know, how about I ask Him?" Renekton felt that his captain was really like a star chaser.

  Captain Ikonton's eyes lit up at first, but then he thought of something and dimmed again and persuaded: "No, don't bother His Majesty for this kind of thing."

  "Okay." Renekton said indifferently.

  "This matter is a serious accident. You can choose to withdraw from this cleanup work and go back to recuperate." Captain Ikonton did not dwell on the matter of the angel.

  "It's okay, Captain, I was not affected at all. I just chatted with Amon here for a while. The only damage I suffered was the aftermath of the angel's cleanup of Amon." Renekton shook his head and said.

  To be honest, Renekton really wanted to go back and rest, even if it was just to read books to speed up the digestion of the reader's characteristics in his body. But Renekton hadn't found the magical animal he wanted to raise yet, so he didn't want to leave just like that. Anyway , he was also hurt, and there would definitely be no Amon around after this time.

  It would be unreasonable for the Earth Mother Goddess not to take a look at this side after such a thing happened. Under the gaze of the two true gods, Renekton didn't think that Amon could hide.

  "Chat? Have you talked to that Amon about the reason why He did these things?" The giant bishop of the Earth Church was very interested in the content of Renekton's chat with Amon.

  "No." Renekton shook his head.

  "Well, even if He said it, we dare not believe the words of the God of Deception." The giant bishop said without disappointment.

  "I heard from Usser that you want to find a magical animal here to raise." The giant bishop changed the subject.

  "Well, yes, unfortunately, I didn't find a magical animal." Renekton nodded in response.

  "If you don't find a satisfactory magical animal in the end, you can come to the Harvest Church. There are some pacified magical animals there. If you are willing to raise one, it would be great. We have not figured out how to deal with them." The giant bishop gave Renekton a suggestion.

  Renekton's eyes lit up: "Okay! I thank Bishop Aisi first."

  "You're welcome. This is also to help us deal with those magical animals ourselves!" The giant bishop nodded in response in a gentle voice.

  After saying this, the giant bishop left here.

  "Let's leave here first and meet up with the team first. We need to revise our cleaning plan later." Captain Ikonton said to Renekton.

  "Okay, Captain." Renekton has fully recovered and responded with a smile.

  "You responded very well this time. It is the right choice for you to delay time and wait for the arrival of His Majesty." Captain Ikonton praised Renekton. Renekton

  felt a little embarrassed. How could he respond? He had no choice but to leave it to fate. At that time, Renekton had completely placed his hopes on whether the Hidden Sage would suddenly appear to save the situation.

  After reciting the angel's name in his mind and seeing no response, Renekton had already given up on rescuing the other party. Unexpectedly, it was the angel who came to the rescue in the end.

  Renekton even suspected that the angel had arrived a long time ago, but just hadn't shown up.

  "Captain, if I need some extraordinary materials to practice ritual magic and make spells, where can I buy them?" Renekton saw that his captain seemed to be in a good mood, so he asked a question he had never had the chance to ask.

  "You want to practice ritual magic? That's right, the main means of the reader's path in the early stage is ritual magic. It's normal for you to feel that your strength is insufficient after encountering so many things in a short period of time." Captain Ikonton nodded in understanding.

  "You can submit an application directly and go through the internal channels of the church. The church will give you a corresponding discount, and you don't have to pay within a certain amount. It's considered a training resource of the church." Captain Ikonton said immediately.

  "It can be like this!" Renekton's eyes widened.

  Renekton used to think that every church was similar in this regard. The Church of the Night did not have this option. At most, they would reimburse you for the material costs.

  However, it is not surprising that the reader path of the Church of Knowledge has no combat abilities other than ritual magic in the early stages. Chapter 39 Rabbit and Parrot

  Renekton followed the captain to the edge of the cordon. Except for himself and the captain, all the team members were here.

  This was agreed before departure. If an emergency occurred in the contaminated area, they would gather at the departure point first when they were not sure about the situation.

  "Captain, what happened just now? What was that powerful solar path force just now?" Xia asked the fastest.

  Then her eyes fell on Renekton who was following the captain, and her face became strange: "It's not related to you again, right?"

  "What do you mean by again? In addition to today, what other things have I done?" Renekton was very dissatisfied.

  "It's really related to you! Tell me, what did you do again? I'm very curious!" Xia said with an ambiguous tone.

  "I didn't do anything. I just recited the name of an angel, and then the other party cast a holy light on a very abstract monster." Renekton simply summarized what happened before.

  "You know the name of an angel!" Ms. Jessica said in disbelief.

  "You even recited the other person's honorific name!" Josie continued Mr. Koss's words.

  "The other person also responded to you!" Joseph continued Josie's words.

  "When did you two get so close to each other?" Renekton complained speechlessly.

  "A very abstract monster? What does it look like?" Xia's focus is always a little different.

  Renekton carefully recalled the suture of the giant deer and the giant tree, and said thoughtfully: "It looks like a huge deer and a tree put together."

  "It's really abstract. I can't imagine what you described at all." Xia stared at Renekton, always feeling that he was fooling her.

  "I didn't expect that monster to look like this. It's a pity that I was affected by its cry at the time and couldn't move. Otherwise, I could have gone to see the specific appearance of this monster." Mr. Koss said with a look of regret.

  "Indeed, if I arrived earlier, I could have seen His Majesty!" Captain Ikonton nodded in agreement.

  Renekton felt that he was a little out of tune with everyone at this time.

  He could only complain in his heart: Why are these people so curious! You are the secret peepers.

  "Captain, what should we do next? Continue to clean up this polluted area?" Renekton had to change the subject.

  "The Church of the Earth will probably send a saint to directly solve the pollution in this area. What to do next depends on the situation." Captain Ikonton replied.

  "Saint? Isn't that the archbishop?" Xia frowned slightly.

  "A saint of a higher level. The level involved in this matter is very high. What happened just now will make them more nervous." Captain Ikonton explained briefly.

  "It is also because the angels of the church suddenly appeared here and took action?" Xia said much more directly than the captain.

  "Is the relationship between the church and the Church of the Earth very bad?" Renekton asked.

  Renekton had no idea. Based on what he knew, the God of Knowledge and the Mother Goddess of the Earth should not have much conflict of interest or position.

  "The church has always wanted to spread its faith in Feynaport, and the city of Madan is the breakthrough point of the church." Xia explained briefly.

  Renekton understood what was going on instantly. Although there was no conflict of interest or position between the two gods, the church would definitely be hostile to each other in spreading faith. Everyone wanted to have more faith.

  "By the way, I heard that you want to raise a magical animal. I caught a rabbit and a parrot. Do you want one?" Thea changed the topic of discussion naturally.

  "Does it look good?" Renekton asked immediately.

  "It's okay. The colorful parrot should be pretty good-looking. The other oversized gray lop-eared rabbit is quite fat and may be delicious. Moreover, they can talk. They should have been pets raised by people here before they mutated." Thea said after thinking for a while.

  "Delicious? Is this adjective a bit too much?" Thea's description made Renekton's mind full of things like braised rabbit heads.

  "Do you know that delicious is the greatest evaluation of an animal?" Thea said seriously.

  "No, this should be the last evaluation of their lives!" Renekton refuted for the little animals.

  "Haha, Renekton, you're right. If I hadn't stopped Thea, that cute rabbit would have become a cute roasted rabbit." Jessica also smiled and continued.

  "Do you want it? If not, I can personally treat you to barbecue!" Thea enthusiastically invited Renekton to choose barbecue.

  "Let me take a look first. If I want to raise it, I will treat you to better barbecue later to compensate." Renekton said.

  "Okay, I'll give you the rabbit right now." Thea said decisively.

  "Well, I haven't made a choice yet." Renekton was shocked by Thea's foodie attribute. "I made the choice for it." Thea

  stared at Renekton and said without rebuttal.

  "Okay, I'll treat you to barbecue later, and you can eat anything else if you want." Renekton didn't refute Thea at all.

  At worst, if you don't want to raise the rabbit at that time, you can give it to Thea as a roasted rabbit.

  After Thea unilaterally reached an agreement with Renekton, she gave the rabbit that almost became a roasted rabbit to Renekton, and an adult parrot with gorgeous feathers came with it.     The appearance of this parrot surprised Renekton. The color of its body cannot be described as colorful, but should be described as dazzling.

  The color of its feathers is like dazzling colors, colorful under the reflection of the sun, and the color of its body will change as the position of the person looking at the parrot changes.

  "Isn't this parrot too gorgeous? How did it mutate so uniquely?" Renekton couldn't help but ask.

  While other mutant creatures are constantly mutating in strange directions, this parrot is somewhat ahead of the times.

  "Who knows, do you want to study it? This is a good topic, but the experimental materials are a bit difficult to get." Xia said casually.

  "No, I still want this fat rabbit! This parrot is too eye-catching." Renekton shook his head and refused.

  This rabbit really looks like a large gray-haired lop-eared rabbit, much larger than an ordinary rabbit. Its hands and feet have mutated in the direction of humans. Its hind legs are very thick, and its two front legs have become much longer. In addition, the details of the palms and fingers have appeared, although not too obvious.

  The more he looked at the rabbit, the more Renekton felt that it looked like an anthropomorphic animal character from a cartoon.

  Renekton could only sigh in his heart that the mysterious world was full of wonders, and maybe one day he could use the characteristics of the Sun Path to create an Ultraman.

  "By the way, what abilities does this rabbit have?" Renekton asked curiously.

  "It can grow up quickly and become a rabbit the size of an adult, but it's just a superficial growth, and it will break if you poke it with your hand." Xia said, pulling the rabbit's ear.

  "It's even worse than the lying ability of that parrot." Jessica simply concluded.

  "Nonsense, nonsense, I'm awesome!" The rabbit, who had been silent and motionless, actually spoke up to refute Jessica's words.

  The rabbit's voice was a little shrill and distorted, and it was obvious that it was different from a human voice.

  "Does it have a bad relationship with that parrot? Such a big reaction." Renekton asked curiously.

  "It was fooled by the parrot several times in a row. In the end, it wanted to grow bigger to scare the parrot, but it was discovered." Jessica briefly described the hatred between the rabbit and the parrot.

  "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" The parrot suddenly taunted at this time.

  "I'll bite you to death! Woo~" The rabbit held by Thea struggled hard.

  Then Thea threw it to the ground and stepped on it, and the rabbit's belly was deformed.

  "Ah!"

  "Help~ Help~"

  The rabbit screamed heartbreakingly, which made the parrot on the other side laugh even louder.

  Renekton looked at the two animals in surprise. They were smarter than Renekton had imagined. It seemed that all the mutations were concentrated in their heads, so their bodies did not become strange.

  "Don't worry, although this rabbit is weak, it can withstand beatings." Seeing Renekton staring at the two magical animals, Thea thought he was worried that he would be broken by her.

  "Oh! It's good, at least it's not useless." Renekton didn't care.

  Anyway, I raise magical animals for fun, so it doesn't matter whether they are powerful or not. As for pets, they just need to be good-looking and interesting.

  "Do you need to sign a contract with it? I can simulate it." Thea's after-sales service is very good, and she offered to help sign the contract.

  "Can it be used even if it is not a creature from the spirit world?" Renekton asked.

  "The mutant creatures here can be used. Although they are not creatures from the spirit world, the mutation caused by the pollution here has also had a deeper connection with the spirit world. This is why they can use various extraordinary abilities. Their power comes from the spirit world." Thea explained.

  "But the effect of the contract is to bind both parties. You have to make sure it works." Thea added.

  Renekton has been attracted by another sentence of Thea. The mutant creatures here have a deeper connection with the spirit world, so they can rely on the spirit world to use various extraordinary abilities, even if they are not powerful.

  "Don't the extraordinary abilities of the mutant creatures here rely on some extraordinary characteristics in their bodies?" Renekton asked curiously.

  "No, those characteristics and pollution are just the reasons why the creatures here mutate, but their power does not come from this, or not only from this." Captain Ikonton answered Renekton's question.

  "So Extraordinary abilities are not only for Extraordinary people? As long as there is a certain connection with the spirit world, it can be used?" Renekton asked.

  "In theory, it can be used. Just like many of the Extraordinary abilities that Xia and I use are based on the interaction between the spirit world and the material world, but if you are not an Extraordinary person, it is almost impossible to do this." Captain Ikonton explained.

  "Why? Is it because ordinary people can't bear the influence of the spirit world?" Renekton asked curiously.

  "There is this reason, and the bigger reason is that ordinary people can't establish such a deep connection with the spirit world." Captain Ikonton was not impatient with Renekton's series of questions, and answered them very seriously.

  "Do you still want your rabbit? Why are you suddenly so curious about the spirit world?" Xia interrupted Renekton's continued questioning.

  "Yes, of course, I still need to study it!" Renekton nodded hurriedly.  Chapter 40 New Member: Bugs Bunny

  Renekton didn't know if it was his words "I still want to study it" that scared the rabbit, so he refused to sign the contract.

  "Follow me and you will have good food and drink, follow her and she will have good food and drink, you choose one!" Renekton pointed at himself and Thea and asked the rabbit to make a choice.

  The fat rabbit just fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. No matter how Thea kicked it, it didn't move.

  "It looks like it's really dead. Let's roast it and eat it, otherwise it won't be fresh if it's kept for a long time." Renekton said with a regretful voice.

  Thea rolled her eyes at Renekton, and then echoed: "This rabbit is too fat, just roast half of it and make pie with the other half."

  "I'm not dead, I'm not dead!" The rabbit hurriedly opened his eyes and shouted loudly.

  Renekton twisted the rabbit's ears and lifted it up, and found that the rabbit was really fat, weighing at least 20 to 30 kilograms.

  "You are infected with the characteristics of the Cultivator's Path. I have the corresponding potion. As long as you follow me, I will give it to you. Then you can beat the parrot however you want!" Renekton tempted.

  "Really? You are not lying to me?" The rabbit's already big eyes widened even more.

  "You and this parrot have a deep hatred!" Renekton was speechless. After talking for a long time, it would not be as effective as saying that you can beat the parrot.

  "Of course it's true. We can add this condition to the contract." Renekton nodded.

  "Okay!" The rabbit agreed very readily.

  Renekton turned to look at Xia: "I've got it, Sister Xia."

  "Wait a minute, I'll just add this clause in." Xia took out the parchment and quill pen she carried with her and began to write the contract terms in ancient Hermetic language.

  Soon a parchment of the contract filled with ancient Hermetic language was completed. Xia handed the parchment and quill pen to Renekton together.

  "You can sign your names on it. I will simulate the ability of a notary to notarize it for you." Thea said, and casually brushed the red hair that fell on her face to the back of her head.

  Renekton nodded and took the parchment, put the rabbit that he had twisted in his hand on the ground and asked, "Do you have a name?"

  "Name? Uncle Rabbit!" The rabbit said with its neck tilted up.

  "Pah!" Renekton slapped it: "Change it."

  "Uncle Rabbit!" The rabbit said with his hands holding his head.

  "Let me name you, you illiterate rabbit!" Renekton said speechlessly.

  Looking at the rabbit in front of him holding his head with his hands and looking aggrieved, Renekton suddenly had a bad idea.

  "Let's call you Bugs Bunny! I'll introduce a few big guys to you in the future. They will be surprised to hear your name." Renekton has already begun to imagine the scene of throwing this drama rabbit in front of Russell and Klein in the future.

  "Are you sure your naming skills are better than this rabbit?" Thea looked at Renekton with a question mark on her face.

  "Isn't this a good name?" Renekton put his fist in front of the rabbit.

  The shaking rabbit was forced to nod: "Yeah, this name is good, from today I will be called Bugs Bunny!"

  Renekton nodded, this rabbit is very sensible. Then he picked up the quill and wrote his name "Rekton Soth" on the parchment.

  "Here, can you write?" Renekton handed the quill and parchment to Bugs Bunny.

  "I'm a rabbit!" Bugs Bunny's red eyes seemed to be flashing with tears.

  "You can press the bloody handprint." Thea reminded.

  Bugs Bunny looked at Renekton who stretched out his claws to him in shock and wanted to escape. But before he could, he was caught by Renekton's hand.

  "Help! Kill the rabbit!" Bugs Bunny felt that the guy in front of him just wanted to eat roasted rabbits, and he said so many things before just to lower his vigilance.

  Ignoring Bugs Bunny's shouting, Renekton took out the dagger, cut it directly on its claws, and then pressed its claws on the parchment.

  Thea's eyes glowed with blue and white light, and then turned into bright golden yellow.

  "Notarization, valid!"

  The parchment contract suddenly caught fire, and the burning ashes turned into two patterns composed of an open book and the Eye of All-Seeing, which were reflected in the eyes of Renekton and Bugs Bunny respectively.

  Renekton clearly felt that his body had something more mysterious, and there was also a mysterious connection between him and Bugs Bunny.

  Renekton could see through the Eye of Secrets that there was a golden thread that appeared and disappeared from time to time, entwined with his and Bugs Bunny's spirits. This thread represented the mystical connection between himself and Bugs Bunny that was established by the contract just now.

  Bugs Bunny was still covering his paw and screaming, while licking the blood oozing from his paw with his tongue.

  Renekton originally wanted to apply some healing potion on Bugs Bunny's paw, but when Renekton pried open its paw, he found that the wound on the rabbit's paw had stopped bleeding and was beginning to heal.

  "Your saliva has the ability to heal wounds?" Renekton asked in surprise.

  "I don't know! No one has ever cut me before." Bugs Bunny shook his head.     "Let's test the limit of its healing ability, shall we?" Thea also saw this scene and said with interest.

  "No, no, the rabbit will die." Bugs Bunny hugged Renekton's calf and shrank back, trying to block Thea's sight.

  "This rabbit is too timid, are you going to give it a potion?" Thea asked curiously.

  "Yes, it's a mascot! But I have to wait until I get the potion formula." Renekton nodded.

  "If it's a Sequence Nine cultivator, I know the formula, but what are you going to buy it with?" Thea said in a charming manner, lifting her hair.

  "Money?" Renekton asked tentatively.

  "Sister, I'm not short of money, you have to please me!" Thea said in a voice that was seductive and charming.

  "Then, knowledge is okay? Some high-end, but useless knowledge." The sense of oppression on Thea made Renekton silently take a step back before he dared to speak.

  "Knowledge? What do you know? I don't even know high-end knowledge?" Thea was aroused by Renekton's curiosity.

  "If you know, we can make a new deal!" Renekton said indifferently. He didn't know much, but he knew a lot of useless high-end knowledge.

  "Okay, what knowledge?" Thea asked curiously.

  "We'll trade here?" Renekton looked around.

  There were only a few people around, not no one. Although it didn't matter if the knowledge was spread out, if he spread it casually, he would be on the blacklist of all the Orthodox Churches.

  "Yo! You still need to keep it secret!" Thea teased.

  Renekton felt a spiritual fluctuation, and then he saw many mysterious symbols appearing around him and Thea. These symbols only appeared for a short while and then became transparent and disappeared into the void.

  "Okay, you can say it now. This barrier can block most of the prying. Unless there is a saint or a seal with corresponding abilities, it is difficult to peek here without causing my perception." Thea said lightly.

  "Awesome, readers become so omnipotent after reaching Sequence 6!" Renekton said with some envy.

  "Of course not. The polymath is multi-talented because of his erudition. He can recognize, see clearly, remember and imitate what he has seen. The premise of these is that you have enough knowledge and insight." Xia briefly described the polymath's abilities.

  Xia looked Renekton up and down and asked, "What is your high-end but useless knowledge?"

  "You must know the role-playing method, then do you know the Beyonder characteristic aggregation and conservation law?" Renekton asked.

  "You even know the role-playing method, no wonder your digestion progress is so fast, tsk tsk! Big boy, you have a lot of secrets!" Xia's eyes changed slightly when she looked at Renekton, but soon returned to normal.

  "Who hasn't got a secret yet! Hey! Sister Xia, do you need to know the Beyonder characteristic aggregation law or the conservation law?" Renekton said with a flattering smile.

  "I have some guesses about the aggregation law, that is, the conservation law. Of course, if you are willing to say more about the aggregation law, that's fine too." Xia said thoughtfully.

  Renekton nodded, not surprised by this situation. After all, Xia is already Sequence 6, and is also a reader, so she must have some guesses and understandings about this aspect of knowledge.

  After organizing his words a bit, he said, "The law of conservation of extraordinary properties refers to the conservation of extraordinary properties of similar paths. When there are more high-sequence items, there will be fewer low-sequence items, and vice versa."

  "I see, no wonder there are so few extraordinary people above the level of demigod in each church." Xia nodded thoughtfully.

  "After all, the church is big and powerful, and many places need extraordinary people to guard them." Renekton nodded in agreement.

  There is another reason that Renekton did not say, that is, the paths he mastered all have sequence 0, and the properties possessed by each sequence 0 must be extremely huge. This can be seen from the pile of extraordinary properties that Mr. Men left to the Abraham family after his death.

  "The law of aggregation of extraordinary properties refers to the fact that high-sequence items in the same path will intermittently and unconsciously attract extraordinary people of medium and low sequences to its vicinity, and there is a tendency to aggregate with each other, and high sequences can sense this attraction. The law of aggregation also exists for similar paths."

  Since he had already mentioned the law of conservation of extraordinary properties, Renekton simply told Xia the law of aggregation as well, because the other party had some guesses about it anyway.

  "I see. No wonder I encountered Vice Admiral Iceberg the most frequently when I was at sea. My guess was right." Xia nodded.

  "I guess there is a third law, right?" Xia quickly recovered her emotions and spoke with a very firm tone.

  "Yeah." Renekton nodded.

  "Let's talk about it together, otherwise I will be very uncomfortable. I will tell you the potion formulas of Sequence 8 Physicians and Sequence 7 Harvest Priests at the same time." Xia proposed a new deal.

  Renekton was of course happy to accept this. Anyway, this knowledge was free for him.

  "Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics: Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced, but will only be transferred from one carrier to another." Renekton said the third law.

  "This is why Extraordinary people will form seals or characteristics!" Xia murmured in a low voice.

  "Do you want me to dictate the potion formula directly or write it to you?" Xia asked.

  "Orally, this does not test our memory." Renekton said.
