Mystery: Beginning with the Warrior Path

Chapter 147 Hunting and Strange Discoveries
The jungle at night is quite quiet.

Roman and Annie tasted the special food here in Vanilla Town, and after a brief tidying up, they took advantage of the night to come to the dense forest outside the town.

After searching before, some traces were found in the Roman jungle, and I took Miss Anne to confirm.

Occasionally, there are hoofprints of some animals on the grass and soil deep in the dense forest.

Like sheep's feet, but bigger.

There is often only one hoof print at intervals of several meters or even more than ten meters.

This obviously doesn't conform to the law of normal animals' activities, but it matches Miss Anne's feature that the silver-horned black-tailed beast can move with the help of starlight.

Tonight, the red moon hangs high, the stars are shining, and the weather is clear, which is a good time for its activities.

Annie walked quietly among the trees. She wore a pair of glasses with a golden frame and a dark red pattern on them. Behind her were two delicate mechanical dolls, making a slight clicking sound.

Roman, relying on his ability to hide in the shadows and his vision in the dark, fell far behind her.

The tall Roman didn't make any sound.

Annie took her mechanical puppet along the far-distance hoofprints and moved forward, but lost the traces of the hoofprints near a big tree.

She searched around for a long time, but found nothing.

After a while, Roman appeared and whispered:
"It was the same for me that day. Its hoof prints will always disappear somewhere, and there will never be any traces."

"However..." Roman was a little puzzled: "It seems that the place I pursued last time is not far from here."

Roman and Annie looked at each other, thought of something, and began to search the vicinity cautiously, but nothing was found.

For the next two days, apart from catching up on sleep and dining together in the small town, Roman and Anne spent the rest of their time in the dense forest, especially searching carefully in key areas, with no results.

On Sunday afternoon, at Annie's request, Roman took her back to Backlund, went to the Church of Steam's headquarters in Backlund, Saint Hierland Church, and obtained something.

That night, Anne, who started searching again, took out a stoppered transparent flask in a bronze box from her backpack, which contained a bottle of dark red liquid.

Roman looked at it from a distance, and with his excellent eyesight, he seemed to be able to see the changing shape in the crimson liquid, as if he was alive.

In the evening, I communicated with Anne. It was another main ingredient of the "Astronomer" potion, which was previously kept in St. Hirland Cathedral.

Annie will use the cohesive properties of Extraordinary properties to help find the trace of the silver-horned black-tailed beast.

Roman and Annie searched the key area slowly and carefully. After Annie took out the bottle, Roman looked around more cautiously, holding the "Travel Stick" in his hand, ready for support at any time.

The main reason why this material was not taken out at the beginning is that it is preserved in the Church of St. Hirland, and it is still the property of the church.

Annie went back this time to speed up the review of a certain meritorious service through her teacher's channel, so she made an exception and took this material out of the church.

This is the disadvantage of being in a large organization, low efficiency.

But it's nice to have a backing...

Another reason why I didn't use this method before is that Anne is just a "craftsman" after all, and she is afraid that she will not be able to react in time if she makes the bait herself. Out of caution, if you see too many enemies, you will not show up.

Roman was thinking wildly while observing the surroundings.

Suddenly, Roman in the shadow seemed to hear something, and saw an animal that looked like a goat, but was twice as big as a goat, suddenly appeared in front of Annie. The tail is longer, dark and vertical.

It was the silver-horned black-tailed beast that Roman and Annie had been searching for for days!
As soon as it appeared through the starlight, it attacked Annie.

Its two eyeballs suddenly turned silvery white, and then the silvery horn suddenly became transparent, and there was an arrow that seemed to be composed of starlight, heading straight for Annie!

Annie responded in an instant. A mechanical puppet behind it took a step forward and blocked Annie behind it. The other puppet stretched out its arms, revealing the steam rifle placed on the arms.

boom!boom!
In the silent jungle at night, there were two loud bangs from the steam rifle, but the silver-horned black-tailed beast did not suffer any harm.

Before the sound of the gunshot, it instantly transformed into a strange state similar to starlight, striding a distance of ten meters in one step, and showing its figure again.

As for the mechanical puppet standing in front of Annie, a deep scar can be seen on the left shoulder, through which the gears and metal parts below can be seen.

The silver-horned black-tailed beast continuously jumped in the starlight, and attacked Annie after getting close to it. Unfortunately, Annie was like a prophet, and could avoid it every time, or use a mechanical puppet to block in front of her.

After a while, the bodies of the two mechanical dolls were covered with scars.

The silver-horned black-tailed beast also walked out of the starlight, and confronted Annie not far away.

It was like taking a rest after using the "Starlight Arrow" continuously.

Roman was about to look for an opportunity to make a move, when he saw the eyes of the silver-horned black-tailed beast suddenly turned red, like two crimson full moons.

Both Anne and Roman, who was watching secretly, could see that its body seemed to become solid, and it seemed to have regained its "physical strength".

Attacked Anne again.

Is this... simulating a "full moon" for spiritual fullness?

Seeing that Anne was still able to hold on, Roman didn't attack at will, looking for opportunities.

Looking at the figure of the silver-horned black-tailed beast appearing again and again, Roman seemed to have found some rules.

The place where it appears every time is the place where the stars are scattered, and the shadowy place covered by trees has never seen it appear, and the place where it appears is rarely repeated.

Is it "charging"?
Suppressing the idea of ​​thinking about the principle of this matter, Roman found that the rules he saw were always applicable, so according to inference, where it will appear next time...

Roman held the "Wand of Travel" in his left hand, which instantly triggered "Flash", while his right hand held the "Black Snake".

brush!brush!
Within 20 meters to Annie's left, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared at the same time.

Seeing that he had made the right bet, Roman didn't hesitate at all. Two golden lightning bolts seemed to condense in the depths of his eyes, shooting towards the silver-horned black-tailed beast that had just revealed its physical figure!

"Spirit piercing"!
The silver-horned black-tailed beast just revealed its body, and froze for an instant, unable to avoid the long sword swung by Roman.

Painful hissing sounded instantly, and before he had time to make up for a "spiritual piercing", Roman saw that the eyes of the silver-horned black-tailed beast instantly turned silvery white, and its figure became transparent, disappearing before Roman's eyes.

Roman wasn't surprised by this, after all, it was an Extraordinary creature close to the Sequence 5 level, and he never thought that he could kill it with a single sword.

The sword cut to the back below its neck, leaving a deep scar.

Holding the "Wand of Travel", Roman flashed again according to the law he had just discovered, and appeared beside it again.

It's still "spiritual piercing"!
It is still the "Black Snake" who cuts hard!
The shrill hiss sounded again, and it suffered another heavy blow.

No more time to pay attention to the liquid that was so attractive to him, the silver-horned black-tailed beast's body blurred, this time it didn't attack Annie again, but kept blurring away.

It wants to escape!

This is too cowardly...

While complaining in his heart, Roman continuously flashed behind it.

While chasing near a thick yellow fir tree, the silver-horned black-tailed beast suddenly disappeared.

Roman had seen this tree before, and it was near here that he lost its hoofprints for the first time.

Thinking of this, Roman cautiously observed the surroundings, and after a while, Anne rushed over with her two scarred mechanical dolls.

"After chasing it here, it disappeared, disappeared suddenly, leaving no trace."

As Roman said, he suddenly found that under the yellow fir tree, it was composed of scattered leaves, some very inconspicuous but slightly unnatural traces, which seemed to be covering something.

Keeping Anne behind, Roman held the "Wand of Travel" and "Black Snake" and walked towards the trace.

Hit hard with the long sword.

clap clap...

With the sound of falling leaves, a deep hole with a width of one person and an invisible bottom appeared in front of the two of them.

There are clearly visible hoof prints and fresh bright red blood not far from the hole.

I exchanged glances with Annie, and saw that she took out a small machine with a long rope from the backpack behind her, and a small horse lamp was hung on it.

The pathfinder was controlled to gradually go downwards, but the flames were not extinguished, and the downward hole was curved and deep, and the situation could not be seen.

Roman put away the "Black Snake", held the "Guardian Shield" in his left hand, and the "Travel Staff" in his right hand, and said to Anne, "Hold on to me."

Then it slid all the way and halfway down to explore.

It has been hunted to the present progress, and there is absolutely no reason to give up directly.

With the prudence of the silver-horned black-tailed beast, if the hunt fails this time, it will be even more difficult to find its trace next time. It has been chased so far, and it has been seriously injured, so it can only go all out.

Besides, both Roman and Annie still have some trump cards, so they are not particularly afraid.

After gliding down for a while, Roman found that he seemed to have passed through a "robbed hole" and entered a tomb.

There is no starlight here, and I don't know why the silver-horned black-tailed beast ran here, leaving clear and visible traces on the road, making Roman wonder for a moment whether this is its conspiracy.

Pull up your spirits, hold up your shield, and Anne holds up a lantern, all the way forward.

Finally, with Roman's night vision ability to see the surrounding situation clearly, he couldn't help taking a breath.

Without seeing the silver-horned black-tailed beast, Roman saw an experimental bench in this spacious area that looked like a room!Belonging to human beings, appearing here is a very inconsistent experimental platform!
