 Chapter 416 Mushrooms

  Backlund North District, near Saint Samuel Cathedral.

  After Hugh and Fors disguised themselves, they relied on Fors's door-opening ability to come to a small compartment in a restaurant near the church.

  Hugh placed the silver mirror that was suspected to be possessed by a ghost on the table. The words on the mirror were still the same as before. It seemed that the ghost attached to the silver mirror was so weak that it was difficult to even change the words on the mirror.

  Fors placed the bouquet of white flowers in her hand on the surface of the silver mirror, and at the same time, the voice in her eyes solemnly said:

  "Madam, although I don't know your name, I hope you can find eternal peace in the Deep Dark Heaven."

  When Fors placed the white flowers on the surface of the silver mirror, the Rune words on the mirror suddenly twisted and changed. After a moment, new words emerged:

  "Thank you, kind man, this is my favorite jasmine. This is the first bouquet of flowers I have received, although I can't smell it anymore."

  "My biggest dream was to save a gold pound, buy a bouquet of my favorite jasmine, eat a bite of the most delicious Deese pie, and go to a circus I had never set foot in."

  "Thank you so much, you must be a kind child. I heard your blessing, kind lady, I will pray for you in the Deep Dark Heaven!"

  Looking at the words that kept appearing on the surface of the silver mirror, Fors stood there in a daze. After hesitating for a long time, she took out her wallet, pulled out a one-pound note from it, and placed it on the bouquet of flowers.

  Xiou looked at Fors blankly. Although she was also moved by the words on the silver mirror, it was too

  much to just put a banknote on it. Xiou's pupils suddenly widened. She saw the white jasmine on the surface of the silver mirror and the brand new one-pound banknote disappear at the same time.

  Also disappearing was a line of words on the mirror that gradually faded away:

  "I will watch you in the dark heaven and pray for you. May you spend every day of your life in peace and happiness."

  "How did it take things away from us?"

  Fors was stunned for two seconds, and looked at Xiou beside her in disbelief.

  Xiou stared at the mirror on the table for a long time, and then hesitantly said:

  "I don't know, but its spirituality seems to have been consumed and turned into an ordinary mirror."

  "Let's donate it to the church. Even if there is any problem, the extraordinary people of the church will definitely be able to find and solve it."

  "Okay." Fors nodded without hesitation. Just as she was about to reach out and pick up the silver mirror, her own inspiration was suddenly touched.

  She turned her head to look at the mirror. A silly, somewhat transparent rabbit emerged from the spirit world, holding a gray-brown book in its hand.

  "Rabbit of Knowledge?" Fors asked in confusion. Just as she said hello to the other party, she saw it running into the spirit world with the book in its arms.

  "What is it doing here? Why is it running?"

  Fors was stunned for two seconds, then turned her head to look at Xio beside her, and saw the same puzzled expression on his face.

  At the intersection of the Pas River Valley and the Harvest Plain, a crow with shiny black feathers appeared in a flash with

  a few stars. The stars surged and gathered into a group, and Renekton's figure condensed in the stars.

  All the way up along the Pas River Valley, the sky had dimmed unknowingly, and Renekton walked casually on the grass that few people had set foot on.

  "Boss, the mushrooms here glow~, they look delicious!"

  The crow Anu circled in the air and landed on Renekton's shoulder and said.

  Renekton's eyes swept over the mushrooms that Anu had mentioned. They were scattered around the bushes and in the sparse grass. There were many circular patterns on the caps, which glowed with a light blue fluorescence in the dim light.

  "Although you are an omnivore, mushrooms should not be on your menu." Renekton casually mentioned.

  As he spoke, he had already walked towards the mushroom closest to him. He half-crouched down and reached out to grab the umbrella handle of the mushroom. The touch on his palm made him stunned for a moment. It was obviously a mushroom, but when he touched it, he felt like touching meat.

  He used a little force to hold the mushroom tightly and pulled it hard. With a hissing sound, wet soil was splashed and the mushroom was directly torn off by him.

  He looked at the mushroom in his hand. There was still some soil mixed under the umbrella handle, with a bit of rotten smell.

  Renekton took a deep breath, stood up straight, and looked at the mushroom in his hand. His inspiration was vaguely triggered, as if it was related to what he wanted to explore.     He handed the mushroom in his hand to the crow and said,

  "Do you smell the rotten smell?"

  "No, I don't see anything special about it."

  Crow Anu shook his head and responded with doubt.

  Renekton felt the touch of the mushroom in his hand, and a faint purple glow floated in his lowered eyes. Under the gaze of the Eye of Secrets, he continued to analyze the mushroom in his hand.

  The mushroom, which should have been a fungus, has the characteristics of animal cells. It seems to be mixed with some plant characteristics. Fortunately, I have a good foundation in biology, otherwise I really can't see any problems.

  Renekton sighed in his heart, and then created a little bright starlight, which lingered around the mushroom in his hand, condensed instantly, and turned into a piece of translucent amber to seal it.

  After doing all this, he turned his head to look at the crow on his shoulder and said:

  "You fly around this area in the air to see how many of these glowing mushrooms there are and find out where they grow."

  "After the investigation, go back to the hotel. I'm going to the Earth Mother Church in the Harvest Plains."

  "Okay, boss." Crow Anu responded and quickly flapped his wings and flew up.

  Looking at the figure of Crow Anu circling in the air, Renekton immediately took a step forward. His body instantly became illusory, turning into bright stars, surging into the spirit world.

  Hatis City, the easternmost part of the Harvest Plains.

  This is the headquarters of the Church of the Mother Earth in the southern continent. They also built a natural church here, with the Archbishop Martina of the Church of the Mother Earth sitting in charge, responsible for the affairs of the church in the southern continent.

  In the alley outside the natural church, Renekton's figure was quickly outlined.

  He held a piece of translucent amber in his hand, and there was a mushroom with a little light blue fluorescence in it.

  It was already evening, and not many people came to the church to pray. Renekton did not hide his figure. He walked out of the alley and went straight to the Natural Church.

  In the hall of the church, there was only a priest in a gray and white priest robe and three or two scattered believers.

  As soon as he stepped into the church, Renekton felt a gaze falling on him. A trace of light purple brilliance flashed in his eyes, and he looked back at the gaze falling on him.

  His eyes penetrated the heavy wall and saw a figure coming from the back of the church:

  she was a mature woman with a plump figure and a bronze complexion. Her light brown hair was tied into small braids and neatly draped over her back. She was wearing a priest robe embroidered with flowers and wheat ears.

  Next to her, there was Bugs Bunny wearing a hooded cloak. The cane he originally held in his hand was replaced with a carrot as long as a baby's arm.

  Renekton retracted his gaze after just a glance. A glance was curiosity, but staring at the other person was impolite.

  He found a seat in the hall and sat down, closing his eyes as if he was taking a nap.

  After a while, Renekton felt someone approaching him. The other person smelled of grass and soil, as if he had just returned from the fields.

  Renekton slowly opened his eyes, chuckled and saluted the other person:

  "Good evening, you must be Bishop Martina, right?"

  While speaking, he glanced at Bugs Bunny who had jumped onto his lap and reached out to rub its soft ears. Chapter 417 Natural Church

  On the seat opposite Renekton, the plump mature woman smiled and nodded, and said in a very gentle voice:

  "It's me. Are you here for the favored one of the original moon?"

  Renekton nodded slightly, and then handed the transparent amber in his hand to Martina. After Martina took it, he snapped his fingers lightly, and the translucent amber instantly disintegrated, turning into starlight and dissipating.

  Martina looked at the mushrooms in her hand that were still glowing with a faint fluorescence and her brows gradually frowned. She stretched out her hand and tore the mushrooms into pieces, exposing the mycelium inside the mushrooms to the air. In just a few breaths, the mycelium changed from white to light blue.

  "Mushrooms that can change color and glow!"

  Bugs Bunny exclaimed in surprise. It looked at the mushrooms torn into pieces in Martina's hand with curiosity, as if thinking about what kind of mushrooms it was and whether it should grow some.

  Renekton kneaded Bugs Bunny's drooping ears and said in a calm voice:

  "This is a mushroom that is a mixture of animal cells and some plant characteristics. Although my Eye of Prying can see some differences in it, I can't directly distinguish its characteristics."

  Martina nodded slightly and put the torn mushroom in her hand back together. Then some spirituality spread out, and these torn mushrooms seemed to come alive and grew together again, becoming a complete mushroom.

  She sighed slightly, looked at Renekton with a heavy expression and said:

  "It has the characteristics of being a carrion feeder, and it is easy to accumulate toxins and pollution. You can tell whether it is harmful just by looking at the surface. It has strong reproductive and survival abilities. As long as there is sufficient water, it can reproduce quickly and is difficult to clean up."

  "This hybrid mushroom can be said to be perfect. Even ordinary druids can't do it. In the southern continent, besides the members of the Church of the Earth, the most likely ones to do it are the believers of the original moon."

  "If a lot of these mushrooms appear, what will they be used for? Compete with the surrounding plants for moisture in the soil? Or spread the pollution secretly?"

  Renekton asked with some confusion.

  Martina shook her head slightly and said thoughtfully:

  "I can't be sure, but there is only a small amount of pollution and toxins accumulated in this mushroom, which is not harmful."

  "I will gather people to develop a potion to destroy this mushroom as soon as possible. No matter what it does, we just need to get rid of it in advance."

  Renekton nodded slightly and talked about another thing:

  "The believer of the original moon seems to have a blasphemous card in his hand, the mother card!"

  Martina's face sank instantly. After a long silence, she sighed and said:

  "I will pray to the mother goddess. The blasphemous card may contain a trap of the evil god."

  "Come back in a few days. By then, the potion that can inactivate this strange mushroom should be almost ready."

  Renekton nodded slightly, stood up and saluted to the other party, and then walked out of the church with Bugs Bunny.

  Watching Renekton's departure, Martina looked at the mushroom in her hand and sighed softly, then stood up and walked to the holy emblem of life at the front of the hall.

  She sat in front of the Holy Emblem of Life, lowered her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her mouth and nose, and prayed devoutly to the Mother Earth.

  After leaving the church, Renekton found that the sky had completely darkened. He raised his hand and tugged it slightly, pulling out a curtain-like shadow that covered Bugs Bunny, cleverly hiding his figure.

  He was not in a hurry to return to the Pas River Valley. He planned to stay in Hatis for two days to learn about the situation in East Balam.

  The dim street lights flickered a little, as if the flames inside would go out at any time.

  Renekton walked to a more lively place while observing the surrounding buildings and pedestrians.

  East Balam, which was colonized by Loen, is relatively stable compared to West Balam. The nights here are still lively, and various vendors also greet customers warmly.

  In the Pas River Valley, once the sun sets, unless it is necessary, people will shrink in their houses and not go out, avoiding armed conflicts that may break out at any time.

  Many buildings here have signs of renovation, which seems to be affected by the continuous expansion of the city.

  Renekton looked around and found a local restaurant with many people in Loen, and walked in with the hidden Bugs Bunny.     This is a barbecue restaurant. In addition to some common meats, they also paint vegetables and fruits with special seasonings and grill them.

  After Renekton ordered the meal, he gently touched his fingers, spreading spirituality and creating an invisible ripple.

  By grasping the mental bodies of the people around him, he created a psychological blind spot, putting Bugs Bunny in the "blind spot of consciousness" of the people around him, thus achieving the purpose of psychological invisibility.

  Bugs Bunny jumped on the chair, and seeing that no one noticed him, he directly picked up the fruit on the table that had not been painted with seasoning and grilled and started to eat it.

  Renekton grilled himself and asked curiously,

  "Do you know how to digest the potion of the Harvest Priest?"

  "Well, Sister Martina said that a good harvest does not only refer to the increase in crop yields, but also the satisfaction of one's own soul."

  "But I think if I find a plantation and use my extraordinary abilities to help them expand the scale of planting and increase production, I can get a good harvest. The increase in production will definitely make people feel satisfied, so I can digest the potion."

  "A large increase in production will not necessarily bring higher profits, but may also cause a drop in prices."

  Renekton thought of the news he had read before, and sighed and casually mentioned it.

  "Why? Isn't the more the better?"

  Bugs Bunny asked in confusion.

  Renekton chuckled and said in a flat tone:

  "Anything, once there is too much, is worthless."

  "But you can go to Mr. Prak's plantation to help him grow coffee beans. Now is the time to plant coffee beans. No one will refuse the help of a harvest priest."

  Bugs Bunny picked up a few pieces of southern continent fruits that looked like sweet potatoes, biting them in his mouth with a crisp sound. He ate all the fruits in front of him, and then muttered:

  "Although the climate conditions in the Pas River Valley are very suitable for growing coffee beans, it takes seven or eight months to harvest once, and it will take more than half a year. Is there any way to digest the potion in one go?"

  "Yes." Renekton chuckled and nodded.

  "What way?"

  Bugs Bunny's eyes lit up and looked at Renekton with surprise.

  Renekton placed the fruit in front of him in front of Bugs Bunny and said with a smile:

  "Go and spin the probability dice. As long as it gives you a six, you don't even need to mix the potion. You can just chew on the piece of walking stick and be promoted to a biologist."

  Bugs Bunny imitated Renekton's movements when he was thinking. He stretched out a paw and rubbed his furry chin. After thinking seriously for a moment, he slapped his two paws on the table in front of him and said briskly:

  "It's decided, boss. Where's the probability dice? I'll try it now."

  Renekton raised his eyebrows, reached out to the inside pocket of his coat and took out a small iron box containing the probability dice. He threw it in front of Bugs Bunny and said:

  "If you throw out one or two points, there is a high probability that you will become a roasted rabbit. Think about it before throwing it."

  "This place is so close to the Natural Cathedral. As long as I have a breath, Sister Martina can save me."

  Bugs Bunny raised his chin slightly and said indifferently.

  Renekton looked at Bugs Bunny across from him speechlessly. I was wondering why this rabbit was so brave today. It turns out that he had already decided who to ask for help.

  He chuckled, leaned back slightly, and leaned against the back of the chair. While eating barbecue mixed with fruits, he watched Bugs Bunny take out the probability dice from the small iron box.

  Bugs Bunny held the milky white dice in his two paws. He muttered a few words in his mouth, and then threw the dice gently.  Chapter 418 Six o'clock!

  Ding~ding~

  The milky white dice jumped on the tabletop a few times, rolled over and stopped on the tabletop in front of Renekton, with the six o'clock facing up!

  Such good luck! Did this dice give it a special favor? Renekton looked at Bugs Bunny who was trying to stretch his head to look over here in disbelief, picked up the probability dice casually, and put it back into the small iron box.

  Seeing that the probability dice was directly put away by Renekton, Bugs Bunny asked anxiously:

  "Boss, what time is it?"

  "Six o'clock." Renekton answered softly, and then stood up to pay the bill.

  The waiter of the restaurant saw Renekton stand up, walked over directly, and said with a smile in the not-so-proficient Loen language:

  "Dear guests, today is exactly the 20th year of our restaurant's opening. Every 20th guest will be paid by our restaurant!"

  Renekton looked at Bugs Bunny in surprise. The six o'clock just now gave us a free meal? But the rabbit didn't have to pay in the first place? Luck has been transferred?

  After a moment of silence, Renekton chuckled and nodded to the waiter in front of him:

  "So that's how it is. It looks like I'm lucky today."

  "The juice here is good. Can I take one?"

  He pointed to the juice he had finished on the table. This is a local fruit called Takina. It looks like a green coconut. The white flesh is mixed with something like mint and squeezed into juice. The taste is a bit sweet and sour.

  "No problem, please wait a moment."

  The waiter responded with a polite chuckle, then turned and walked to the counter at the back of the restaurant.

  "Well, wasn't it me who threw the dice? Why didn't luck appear to me?"

  Bugs Bunny said with a look of doubt on his face.

  "Maybe, the probability dice doesn't know how to give a rabbit luck."

  Renekton rubbed Bugs Bunny's head and said jokingly.

  After a few words, the waiter of the restaurant came over with two green fruits with straws inserted.

  The waiter smiled and handed two juices to Renekton, saying in unfamiliar Rune language:

  "Dear guest, this is your juice. There are two left in the store."

  Renekton took the juice with a smile, thanked him, and turned to leave the restaurant.

  On the dim street, Bugs Bunny held a green fruit with a straw in one paw, and sighed while drinking juice:

  "Six o'clock luck let me get two juices"

  "Maybe you will pick up a bag of gold coins while walking on the road."

  Renekton chuckled and comforted Bugs Bunny.

  "Ouch~"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Bugs Bunny, who happened to walk into a shadow, suddenly tripped and fell out, and the two fruit shells filled with juice in his hand were also thrown out and fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Six o'clock luck is really unlucky!"

  Bugs Bunny complained, and kicked away the thing that tripped him.

  Dong~

  A heavy metal landing sound came from the ground in front. Renekton looked sideways and saw that what Bugs Bunny kicked under the streetlight was a black metal ring with some rust. There were still a lot of mud on the surface, as if it had just been dug out of the ground.

  Bugs Bunny walked over curiously, put his nose close to it and sniffed it, saying:

  "Mud with the smell of herbal powder, this is something just dug out of a tomb!"

  Renekton summoned an invisible hand and picked up the metal ring full of mud and rust. The spiritual power spread out and condensed into deep blue waves, washing away the mud on the surface of the glove in a few strokes.

  The ring was mainly gray-blue and dark gold, engraved with many strange patterns, but it was no longer clear. It was the size of Bugs Bunny's waist.

  Renekton looked at it for a while and quickly came to a conclusion:

  "It's a very rough style, and the craftsmanship is not mature. It may be an item from the early Quaternary or even the Tertiary."     "Well, isn't that very valuable?"

  Bugs Bunny's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the ground and hugged the glove in his arms.

  Renekton didn't pay attention to Bugs Bunny's actions, and explained casually:

  "If someone is willing to buy it."

  "It doesn't contain spirituality, or the spirituality has been lost. Anyway, it is indeed just an ordinary metal ring now."

  "I want to keep it. This is something that I got in exchange for six points of luck. It must be useful!"

  Bugs Bunny muttered while holding the ring.

  Renekton nodded slightly, without refuting Bugs Bunny's words. If there were no other accidents today, this ring might really be something brought by six points of luck. Even if it is not, nothing will happen with six points of luck.

  As his thoughts floated, his figure suddenly became transparent, turning into points of bright starlight and surging forward, carrying Bugs Bunny's figure into the spirit world.

  Dirinius Island, where the Sonia Sea is close to the violent sea.

  The prophet's clone walked into a tavern near the dock. He looked around and quickly found Thea and Phoenix sitting in the corner.

  He went to the bar first to order a glass of rum and listened to what the sailors and adventurers around him were discussing.

  "Recently, lightning has been striking in the Rorsted Sea from time to time. I feel that it is even more dangerous than the Wild Sea!"

  "Hehe. Isn't it true? I heard that those bitches of the Storm Church had their Sea Wave Church stolen in front of them. Those hot-tempered guys must have been mad for a long time, haha!"

  "Black Blind, are you starting to believe those rumors too? That's a church. Who has the ability to move an entire church away?"

  The middle-aged man called Black Blind chuckled twice and said in a disdainful tone:

  "But the Sea Wave Church has indeed disappeared. This is a fact seen by everyone who left Bayam!"

  "Maybe it was destroyed in that terrible storm."

  "Since you care so much, why don't you go to Bayam and take a look?"

  A provocative voice sounded, and the drinkers around were either silent or looked back with disdain.

  "Tsk, what a bunch of cowards."

  The young man who had just mocked them spat with disdain. His fiery red hair was as flamboyant as his personality. He was dressed in a hunting suit, and his brown eyebrows and eyes were very sharp.

  He looked at the prophet's clone as if he had noticed something. After a very arrogant look at each other, he raised his own wine glass and clinked it with the prophet's clone in the air, and then drank it all.

  The prophet's clone chuckled as the other looked at him, and drank the wine in his glass, then walked past him and walked towards Thea and Phoenix who were sitting in the corner.

  He pulled a chair next to Phoenix and sat down naturally. Then he looked at Thea who was sitting opposite him and asked with a chuckle:

  "Why do we have to meet in the tavern?"

  Thea rested one elbow on the table, her palm against the side of her face, and tapped the glass with one hand. She said in a calm voice without much emotion:

  "This is the best place to get information. Of course, the most important reason is that I want to drink."

  As she spoke, her spirituality spread out silently, forming an invisible barrier around her to isolate possible eavesdropping.

  "The spirit I sent out has found the Newins. There is also a ship that can sail on the seabed in that sea area."

  Phoenix turned his head and looked at Thea opposite, as if waiting for the other party's response.

  "The stealth ship. The deep-sea admiral once dived into the ruins of the seabed and dug out some relics of alchemists in ancient times. The two ships can sail on the seabed when they are combined, and they can be unfolded like a normal ship."

  "The deep-sea admiral is said to have some sea monster bloodline and can exert stronger combat power at sea. He can be regarded as the top combat power of the sequence five level."

  Phoenix nodded slightly and said:

  "We can go directly from the spirit world and easily bypass the ships on guard outside."

  "As for the pirates on the ship, I can summon enough undead to deal with them, and you can concentrate on dealing with the injured witch."  Chapter 419: The Newins

  Xia did not respond to Phoenix's words, but turned her head to look at the prophet's clone, and said in a flat tone:

  "Mr. Prophet, who has mastered the higher level of mystical knowledge in the field of destiny, what do you think of this?"

  The prophet's clone lowered his eyes, and a silver-white color appeared. His eyes suddenly became deep and lost focus.

  A picture soon emerged in his mind. It was still a huge pirate ship floating on the sea. A bronze door covered with mysterious patterns and indescribable stood on the deck. Countless undead poured out from it and fought with the pirates on the ship.

  In the cabin, golden liquid flowed everywhere, like melted gold. They seemed to be wailing and struggling like living things.

  The picture quickly turned over and became extremely blurry. Only a female figure could be seen crawling out of the bronze door.

  The prophet's clone's eyes quickly became clear. He frowned slightly. The last scene he saw made him a little confused.

  He looked up at Phoenix and Thea who were staring at him, and said after a moment's pause:

  "No problem. After midnight, there shouldn't be any sleepless pirates who like to stay up late."

  "It's best to go and come back quickly. Once my aura is exposed, it is likely to attract the attention and attack of the Storm Church."

  Thea changed her lazy posture and looked at the prophet's clone with great curiosity and asked:

  "I'm a little curious. Could it be you who stole the Wave Church with that Amon?"

  "You know Amon?" The prophet's clone asked back curiously.

  "Hehe, this is not a secret. The Church of Knowledge has recorded almost all the information in this world, but because of the confidentiality level, most church members don't know it completely."

  Thea shook the wine glass with little wine left in her hand and chuckled.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, do you mind if I join your discussion?"

  A loud voice sounded, and a figure with a little smile directly broke into the invisible barrier created by Thea.

  "Mind." Phoenix replied coldly, staring at the sudden intruder with unfriendly eyes.

  The prophet's clone turned his head to look at the other person. It was the guy who had clinked glasses with him before. After a second of hesitation, he chuckled and said,

  "I wonder what your name is, Mr. Hunter?"

  "How do you know I'm a hunter? Because of my hair color?"

  The man in hunting clothes on the opposite side raised his brown eyebrows and asked curiously.

  "You have the temperament of a mature hunter."

  The prophet's clone responded with a chuckle.

  "The temperament of a mature hunter?" The man on the opposite side showed his confusion on his face.

  "Hunters who have passed the provocateur stage always become annoying."

  The man in front of him didn't seem to expect the other party to respond to him like this. He was stunned for a moment before reacting, and chuckled as if he had encountered something funny:

  "You seem to know a lot about hunters."

  "My name is Albus Medici, and I'm currently adventuring at sea."

  "Medici. Did you live in Bansi before?"

  The prophet's clone sighed, and then asked curiously.

  Albus Medici's eyes flickered, and he said with a curious expression:

  "Why do you ask? But I was indeed born in Bansi."

  "Are you always so honest when you chat with others? You don't look like a conspirator at all."

  The prophet's clone said with a sigh. Albus on the opposite side restrained his spirituality. He could not accurately judge the other party's sequence, but only made a guess based on the intuition of a prophet.

  "There is no point in lying in front of a Beyonder who can easily see through lies. Staying honest will make me seem more sincere, right?"     Albus Medici spoke in a rather eloquent manner, and did not refute the other party's accusation that he was a conspirator.

  Looking at the descendant of the Medici family in front of him, the prophet's clone felt that his inspiration seemed to be touched. He pondered and said:

  "In Bansy Harbor, the weather god that your Medici family believes in is also a family member? Or is it an animated characteristic?"

  "Huh? Why do you think He is an animated characteristic?"

  Albus was stunned, as if he did not expect that the other party knew so much about the Medici family, and asked so directly.

  "Just asking casually."

  The prophet's clone said perfunctorily, then turned his head to look at Phoenix and Thea on the side, and chuckled and said:

  "I'll go outside, just notify me when you are ready."

  After that, he stood up and left the tavern.

  Albus reached out and touched his slightly burnt eyebrows, hooked the corners of his lips and followed him out.

  When he walked out of the tavern, he could no longer see the figure of the prophet's clone. He curled his lips helplessly and sighed:

  "I thought the person the ancestor asked me to find would be very troublesome, but I didn't expect to run into him just after arriving at the island of Linius."

  "Although he didn't show any pressure, my intuition as a hunter has been reminding me that this is not a target that can be hunted."

  He whispered a few words and quickly left in a random direction.

  A moment later, a lavender, cold and indifferent eye appeared faintly on the gas street lamp pole opposite the tavern. Its color faded quickly, as if it was being erased with an eraser.

  At about three o'clock in the morning, the prophet's clone followed a natural spirit through the dock. The dock here was not big, and it took almost no time for him to meet Phoenix and Xia near the clock tower.

  A grim white bone arm stretched out from the ground, followed by a skull head burning with a dark green flame, and then the whole body.

  A huge white bone skull crawled out from the ground. When it stood up, it was almost as tall as a three-story building.

  The prophet's clone calmly glanced at the huge skeleton that had crawled out of the ground. It had a strength close to that of Sequence 5, and there was probably a giant path in front of it.

  Then, at Phoenix's signal, the skeleton grabbed his shoulder with one hand and Thea with the other. Their figures quickly lost color, became transparent, and then entered the spirit world.

  The prophet's clone's eyes were then surrounded by a blue-white glow. He simulated the extraordinary ability of the astrologer, allowing his body to decompose into dots of surging bright starlight, rushing into the spirit world like a tidal wave.

  In the colorful and exaggerated spirit world, the prophet's clone's figure condensed from the starlight, and his eyes glowed with a touch of silver-white. In just a moment, they regained clarity.

  He turned his head to look at the huge skeleton that was supporting Thea and Phoenix, and chuckled and said,

  "This way."

  As soon as the voice fell, azure starlight that had condensed into substance appeared beside him, enveloping his figure and rushing quickly to the front.

  In a sea area near the Raging Sea, a huge three-masted ship with an old style and dark color, as if it had been soaked in sea water for a long time, was anchored here. On the raised sail, there was a huge sea monster pattern with twisted tentacles. This was the flagship of Admiral Deep Sea, the "News"!

  Under the crimson moonlight, it was vaguely seen that under the sea, there seemed to be a huge shadow moving back and forth, like a huge sea monster waiting for an opportunity to move.

  The next moment, a vague spiritual fluctuation emerged at the bow, and a few bright stars emerged from the spiritual world, re-condensing the figure of the prophet's clone.

  As soon as the figure emerged, he took out a scroll made of gray-brown fur from his arms and whispered a word in the dragon language:

  "Secret!"

  As the scroll in his hand was activated, a layer of peaceful and quiet night quietly enveloped the pirate ship.

  The crimson moonlight in the air seemed to dim for a moment, and the sobbing sea breeze suddenly quieted down.

  The next moment, two huge skeletal arms suddenly stretched out from the void behind him. After placing Phoenix and Thea on the deck, the huge skeletal arms did not retract, but directly moved their entire bodies out of the spirit world.  Chapter 420: Fighting

  The skeleton stood on the deck, and the aura of the dead was vented undisguisedly.

  The huge skeleton figure and the strong aura of the dead quickly made the crew members responsible for vigilance and patrol on the ship react.

  "There are enemies!"

  "Quick! Quick! Inform the captain that enemies are on board!"

  Rapid shouts came one after another, as well as messy footsteps and the sound of bullets being loaded.

  Phoenix stretched out his palms expressionlessly and pushed forward, as if pushing open a door that did not exist.

  In a flash, a bronze door covered with mysterious patterns that could not be described specifically appeared on the deck in front of him, shaking and creaking, and gradually cracked a gap.

  In the endless darkness, countless undead spirits rushed out, some attacked the approaching pirates, some merged into the deck and entered the cabin, and some hovered in the air. The cold, decayed breath of death condensed into a thin mist in the air.

  Phoenix looked around and said calmly, "Leave it to me."

  As he spoke, he gently brushed the emerald ring on his right thumb. The surrounding decay, coldness, and the breath of death instantly became thick, as if the underworld reflected reality, indiscriminately corroding every living thing on the ship.

  The eyes of the prophet's clone floated with a light blue fluorescence, and a little bit of brass light diffused in front of him, quickly intersecting, forming an illusory symbol composed of layers of doors.

  A wave of light blue ripples spread, and the illusory "door" quickly became real, suddenly turning into a dark blue, insubstantial, blurred door.

  On the other side of the door, it was vaguely seen that there was a dimly lit room, which seemed to have many bright gold collections.

  The prophet's clone turned his head to look at Xia and whispered:

  "She is still here."

  Before he finished speaking, he had already stepped into the illusory and blurry door. The surrounding environment suddenly changed. In just a moment, he came to the room he saw in the prophecy before.

  He saw a lot of mirrors hanging on the walls around him, in various styles. The common point was that the edges of the mirrors were engraved with complicated patterns. Their surfaces were dark and gloomy, and it seemed that countless things and layers of space were hidden inside, reflecting this room into a dark and deep maze.

  "Mirror maze." The prophet's clone whispered softly, and his eyes suddenly turned silvery white, his eyes were deep and lost focus.

  This state only lasted for a short time. After the silver white in his eyes faded, he chuckled and clapped his hands a few times.

  His hands were stained with a brilliant gold, like dazzling sunlight, spreading out layer by layer with the clapping action. The bright, brilliant and pure warm light rippled like water waves and flowed around.

  The dark and deep maze reflected by the mirrors around them quickly melted under the light. In a few breaths, the room turned dim again.

  The prophet's clone's eyes wandered around the mirrors on the walls. Behind him, Xia, who had not spoken since arriving on the "News", walked straight forward and walked towards the oval mirror in the middle of the left wall.

  She looked at her own figure reflected in the mirror with cold eyes, and said without any expression on her face:

  "A qualified hunter would not set such a crude trap."

  "Hehe, it seems that you have been a witch for too long and have forgotten that you were once a hunter."

  As she spoke, she reached out and touched the mirror that looked very ordinary. From the place where her palm touched the mirror surface as the center, circles of silver ripples continued to spread outward.

  The bronze color on the mirror gradually faded, revealing the golden mirror surface and the distorted figure in the mirror surface. Her eyes were full of resentment, like a bloodthirsty evil spirit, staring at Xia Ya, her mouth kept opening and closing, but no sound came out. Squeak

  !

  Xia Ya's right hand on the mirror suddenly exerted force, directly smashing cracks on the golden mirror surface, and the bright red blood flowed out of her hand, along the cracks on the mirror surface, quickly covering the entire mirror surface.

  The bright red blood gradually turned into golden liquid, which continued to flow out of the mirror surface, as if the gold-cast mirror was rapidly melting.

  Every time Xia Ya stepped back, the golden liquid spread forward a step distance, until Xia Ya retreated to the center of the room.

  The golden liquid suddenly surged up, twisting and wriggling in the air, and gradually solidified into a graceful female figure. Her facial features were three-quarters similar to Xia Ya's, except that her whole body was golden and shining with metallic luster.

  "It seems that she is really dead. This is just a half evil spirit or a monster out of control that she has returned with the resurrection trick she left behind."

  Xia looked at the figure in front of her that seemed to be cast out of gold, and sighed in a complicated tone.

  The prophet's clone looked at the figure in front of him with deep eyes, and responded softly:

  "Perhaps, the lightning struck by the Lord of Storms may have directly annihilated her body, and the original will had a significant impact on her spirit, which caused some accidents in her resurrection process."

  On the deck of the Newins, a sobbing wind suddenly swept the entire ship, blowing away the thin mist formed by the death breath around.

  But soon the mist condensed again, as if it had taken root in this area.

  "'Deep Sea Vice Admiral' Hal Constantine?"

  Phoenix's sight penetrated the dead spirits and pirates fighting around him, and looked at the figure who had just come out of the captain's room and had not yet put on his clothes.

  Boom!

  Hal Constantine opened his lips slightly and simulated the sound of thunder. With a strong deterrent, the sound that could directly interfere with the spirits exploded around.

  The thin mist in the air that blocked the crimson moonlight was directly dispersed, and the crimson moonlight fell back onto the deck.

  The pirates and the undead fighting each other stagnated at the same time, but the pirates on the Newins quickly recovered, as they seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of sound.

  The undead creatures summoned by Phoenix showed obvious confusion, and some weaker spirits directly lost their minds.

  Seizing this opportunity, various extraordinary abilities and ammunition were poured onto the undead who were in stagnation and confusion, quickly turning the tide of the battle.     "A gatekeeper? Why did you attack us?"

  Hal Constantine's voice was very loud, even with a low roar.

  Phoenix rubbed his ears, the other party's voice made his eardrums hurt.

  While rubbing his ears, he opened his mouth slightly, as if he was silently reciting something, like the whispers of the dead, countless things were sobbing, wailing, and roaring.

  With the appearance of the Words of the Dead, the situation on the field was reversed instantly.

  The pirates who were pouring out ammunition and extraordinary abilities suddenly stopped moving. The Words of the Dead directly bypassed the protection of their flesh and blood bodies and established a connection with their spirits. Whether blocking the ears or restraining the spirituality, this sound could not be isolated.

  "The destination of all death, the hell hidden deep in the spirit world, the symbol of the final decay of all things, the kingdom of the god of death."

  Phoenix clenched his right fist and put it in front of his mouth and nose, and recited the honorific name pointing to the underworld through the Words of the Dead.

  The ring on his right thumb flashed a faint luster, and the bronze door in front of him, covered with mysterious patterns, kept shaking and creaking, as if several terrifying beings were about to rush out from it.

  Boom!

  A silver-white lightning flashed through the sky and landed directly on the deck of the Newins, landing on the groups of undead, breaking into countless tiny electric snakes and rushing around.

  This kind of lightning is quite restraining against the undead. Just a lightning strike directly cleared the undead in an area.

  The undead affected by the lightning either died directly or were paralyzed and stiffened in place, swallowed by the subsequent attacks.

  The whimpering wind swept across the entire deck, directly carrying Hal Constantine's body into the air. As he thought, thin wind blades condensed and formed in front of him, and instantly attacked Phoenix.

  A huge palm made of pale bones stretched out from the bronze door, grasped the invisible wind blade in its hand, made a bursting sound, and splashed a lot of broken bones around.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Silver-white lightning fell and struck the huge bone arm, with a strong paralyzing effect, preventing the undead from getting out of the bronze gate.

  Hal Constantine's eyes gradually became solemn. While constantly attracting lightning, he reached out and took out a dark red pocket watch from his arms and gently opened the cover.

  Light blue and red flames instantly surged out, completely enveloping him, spreading everywhere with the whistling wind, emitting a strong smell of sulfur.

  Hal Constantine's body, wrapped in flames, continued to expand. In just a moment, his body expanded to nearly 3 meters. A pair of giant wings like bat wings grew behind him, directly bursting through his clothes. There were curved goat horns on his head, covered with countless mysterious patterns.

  After being demonized, Hal Constantine grinned at Phoenix, his eyes flowing with uncontrollable malice, and he was surrounded by red and light blue flames. With wild sobs, he quickly closed the distance between the two.

  Phoenix took a step back calmly. As he moved, countless transparent shadows flowed out of his body and gathered in front of him to form a soft ball.

  They screamed frequently, directly hurting the spirits of the wraiths!

  On the deck, whether they were undead or pirates, they all covered their ears and wailed in pain. The relatively weaker extraordinary people and ordinary people fell into a coma.

  The huge demon figure that originally swooped down from the air also slowed down uncontrollably, and a look of pain appeared on his hideous face.

  Phoenix stretched out his left hand again, pointing his index finger at the demonized Hal Constantine. An illusory skull surrounded by black air quickly took shape and attacked him, carrying a strong sense of death, as if it was a messenger sent by the underworld. Hal Constantine

  in the air stretched out his right hand forward, and a light blue flame ignited in his palm, like a cage. After the illusory skull fell into the light blue flame, it solidified directly and was constantly erased.

  The tall demon flapped the huge wings behind him, creating an exaggerated whirlwind that spread quickly and wrapped Phoenix inside. The invisible wind instantly turned into a substantial restraint, imprisoning him in place.

  Hal Constantine swooped down with a grim smile, holding red magma in one hand and light blue flame in the other. As he closed his hands, he directly dragged out an exaggerated giant sword composed of red magma and light blue flame.

  With the blessing of the strong wind, his speed was so fast that he almost left a shadow in the air. In just a blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Phoenix, holding the exaggerated giant sword in both hands and slashing it down quickly.

  Boom!

  The intertwined strong wind of red and light blue swept around violently, directly tearing the surrounding decks, and the undead and pirates who were closer were also not spared.

  A huge gray-blue arm with black spots and suture marks stretched out from Phoenix's chest and abdomen, tightly grasping the exaggerated giant sword chopped from the top of his head.

  This arm was exaggeratedly like a giant, shining with the brilliance of the morning sun, like an unbreakable invisible wall.

  The red and light blue flames and the brilliance of the morning sun intertwined, but were clearly separated.

  Sizzle!

  The sound of arcs jumping came from under the torn deck. The silver-white arcs jumped on the entire Newins like a dense spider web, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

  Hal Constantine's huge demon face showed panic. He wanted to break away from the entanglement with Phoenix, but found that the lava giant sword in his hand was tightly grasped by the strange arm and could not be retracted.

  "Die!"

  He stared at Phoenix and uttered a demonic word full of filth and depravity from the abyss.

  A pale face emerged from the position of Phoenix's heart. It was stained with mottled red rust and burned with flames that smelled of sulfur. It was like being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand. It was unable to make any struggle and directly disappeared into a black mist full of corruption.

  Phoenix's eyes instantly became dark. He opened his lips slightly and uttered the words of the dead that directly acted on the spirit.

  Hal Constantine paused when he was about to say the filthy words, as if countless things were sobbing, wailing, and roaring in his ears, causing his mind to become uncontrollably chaotic.
