Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 223 223. Great Harvest (Happy National Day!)

The silver station wagon and the blue Jaguar traveled along Highway 65 through Pahoe County, heading south, and arrived in the eastern neighborhoods of Pavina County in the evening.

The Cui Shi siblings couldn't wait to knock on the door of a white house, and then they threw themselves into the arms of a blond lady with a turtleneck and an attractive figure.
"Linette, we are back!"

"Trish, Daley, dear, let mom take a good look at you. Are you injured anywhere?" The woman's rough palms gently caressed the two smooth faces, and she kept chattering, "The news reported that hundreds of corpses were found in the next county. The school kept calling me again, which scared me so much that I almost called the police!"

"Aren't we doing well? Can't you see that I'm stronger than before?" Daley flexed his biceps in a showy way and threw the bag of dirty clothes into the woman's arms. "I also brought your most beautiful clothes." Love the gift!”

"Little lazy idiot, you are so old and you still don't know how to wash clothes, so you can't live without your mother?" The woman took the clothes and shook her head in disgust like every mother, but she couldn't help but smile with relief, "But Honestly, where have you two been so crazy these days?”

"We encountered an unexpected situation in Bohao County. Fortunately, we met a 'Mr. Magic' who saved our lives." Cuishi stepped aside with lingering fear, revealing behind him a man wearing a large trench coat and a black wide-brimmed hat. The tall figure said, "This is Dean, a great private detective."

The man gently raised the front of his hat, revealing his angular face and a hearty smile, "Good evening, madam."

The woman gave him a grateful hug and said, "Mr. Dean, these naughty little naughty guys have taken their time."

"No, they are very sensible and smart, but they can't control their curiosity."

"Okay, Mom..." Daley hugged the woman's arm and shook it, "Don't starve your distinguished guest, let Dean try your specialty!"

"Don't worry, I've prepared it in advance. Let's eat with open stomach!" The woman enthusiastically took Dean's hand and welcomed him into the house.

The interior is as warm as spring, with warm and soft lighting. On the white tables in the restaurant, golden roasted chicken, sizzling steaks, and milky white tempting soup exude the tangy aroma.

……

Enjoyed dinner.

The Trish siblings brainwashed their mother with all their might. How amazing this lifesaver was. He drove away the driver who threatened them with his momentum, single-handedly defeated the serial killer who attacked the police station, and saved more than ten police officers. life.

Almost praising him as a savior.

While Lynette was terrified about what happened to her children, she gratefully added food to Dean's plate.

Chicken, steak, barbecue…

Almost three-quarters of the food on the table went into Dean's belly, but he had experienced a fierce battle before, and the energy stored in the energy storage crystal was exhausted. Dean swept away the food with enjoyment, and then He rubbed his belly with satisfaction and leaned closer to the chair behind him.

Under the comfort of delicious food, the haze in my heart completely dissipated.

"Man, you have such a good appetite!" Dai Li looked at the chicken bones piled high on his plate and chuckled slightly.
"The key is not to get fat no matter how much you eat!" Cui Shi crossed her arms and looked at his flat belly under his shirt with envy and jealousy.

"A real man must be able to eat, Daley, you should learn from him." Chef Lynette almost smiled from ear to ear as she watched her carefully prepared dishes being swept away.
"Dean, stay in Pavina County for a few more days. I will prepare a big meal for you every day, and then let Daley take you to visit the scenic spots in the county."

"I appreciate the good intention, but it's such a pity," Dean shook his head gratefully, "I have work and I have to leave the day after tomorrow."

"Ah, you have to leave so soon?!" Cui Shi's cute smile disappeared instantly, her mouth tightened, and her eyes dimmed.
"No, man, I also want to ask you about shooting techniques and the secrets of physical exercise." Daley quickly put his arm around his shoulders. He had just experienced the bizarre events and witnessed supernatural monsters, witches...devils, he How can I bear to let these legendary things leave me like this!

"There will be a chance in the future, and I promise to come see you."

The two siblings looked at each other.
"Then we have a date!"

……

After dinner, Trish helped Lynette clean up.

Daley ran to the room holding the phone and showed off his "big adventure" to his classmates at school. Of course, it was a deleted version after being severely warned by Dean, eliminating all supernatural elements and concealing Dean's true identity. .

After Dean finished drinking and eating, he went into the bathroom to take a bath and relax while putting his energy into the system and sorting out the harvest.

The event - "The Devil Who Drives a Truck" is completed.

You defeated Dead Skin many times and saved the Trish siblings.

You join forces with Jesse, a psychic, to uncover the true identity of Dead Skin, a priest who has abandoned his Catholic faith, Abraham Morrow.

You discover Maggie Hartman, the witch behind Dead Skin, and traces of the devil they believe in.

You rush to the cave where the devil's anchor is stored, pull the anchor out of the cave magic circle, risk the annihilation of the soul, destroy the dead soul under the eyes of the devil, and use Baphomet to expel the devil.

The origin of all this, the witch who signed a contract with the devil, the former Maria, was also wiped out under your witness.

Event completion level - [-]%.

经验值+180，个人等级lv5(640/700)→lv6(120/900)。

As the level increases, you gain 1 free attribute point.

System ability God's perspective lv4→lv5: Observation range 50 meters→100 meters.

Limbo shuttle lv0 → lv1: The charging efficiency becomes faster and the duration increases.

……

Depending on the level of completion, you can choose from two special rewards:

A. Superpower - Fear Absorption lv0: The oldest and strongest emotions will become your nourishment!You can absorb the energy of fear from all living things around you, and use the energy to gradually strengthen your body and soul. After a few hundred years, you may be able to reach the state of immortality.

The energy of fear can also be used against enemies.

Improve this ability and slightly increase your mental attributes.

Note: If the will attribute is insufficient, using this ability will gradually distort the mind and get lost in the tide of fear.

B. Expertise - Blacksmith: In his long career of hundreds of years and countless hunts, Dead Skin gradually learned how to distinguish and collect special "materials" from humans and supernatural creatures, and cast them into tough, sharp, and powerful Certain special abilities, such as special weapons that destroy energy.

After possessing this expertise, you will receive part of the dead skin forging experience, understand the technology of special weapon forging and maintenance, and generate a natural inspiration. When you encounter a suitable target, the inspiration will tell you which inch of skin it is. , which tendons and which bones are suitable for adding materials and forging into weapons.

C. Expertise - Omen: Your perception is strengthened in a specific direction: you have a more precise and intuitive judgment about the future development direction of things around you.

When faced with difficult choices, you will choose the answer that best suits you more quickly and efficiently.

And from time to time, you may have some kind of auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and special dreams that are closely related to yourself or the people around you... That is a manifestation of the development of intuition to the extreme, reminding you that you may encounter fatal danger or get some kind of God-given opportunity!
After choosing this feat, you should trust your intuition even more.

D. One free attribute point. (Note that for attributes that exceed 20 points, the effect of free attribute points is reduced by half)
……

Dean opened his mouth toward the showerhead above his head, swallowed a large amount of water, rinsed his mouth, and spit it at his feet.

"It takes two hundred percent to completely eliminate the devil, but for a completion of one hundred and eighty, the four rewards are already generous enough."

Item A should come from the devil, reminding Dean of the similar reward for absorbing sorrow given in the Death Eater.

They all absorb and utilize the negative emotional energy in the body of life.

But this time it was obviously more illegal. The energy of fear strengthened his body and soul, reaching the realm of immortality, which meant that there was no upper limit to his development.

But Dean does not have a superpower field, so he has to exclude this item first.

……

The reward tips for option D are in line with Dean's expectations - the higher the attribute, the harder it is to improve it. Adding 1 point of spirit can only increase it by 0.5.

But he was not in a hurry. As a hexagonal warrior, he had to improve other weaker attributes first.

This attribute is too low cost performance.

Exclude D.

……

Item B obviously comes from dead skin, perfectly meets Dean’s current needs, and is a must-have.

Of course, he won't use normal humans as forging materials. His hunting targets are other supernatural creatures.

By the way, after Dead Skin died, the spiritual imprints on the spears, axes and cross darts it left on the ground completely disappeared, and these special weapons lost part of their energy shield-breaking effect.

But it also allowed Dean to successfully collect his fantasy space and completely fill it up as a future melee weapon.

Item C should belong to Jesse the witch. The description is a bit mysterious and the specific effect is unknown, but it can be regarded as a passively enhanced BUFF, which satisfies Dean's wishes.

"I choose B and C, and continue to stack passive BUFF!"

……

hiss--

The strong man under the shower suddenly tightened his body like a cramp, his forehead hit the wall repeatedly, his face turned red, and there seemed to be a gaping hole in his brain, from which endless images poured out:
He put on a thick apron and gloves, held up a hammer, tapped on the anvil, and poured the molten iron into the mold.Ding-ding-ding-ding.

The red molten iron illuminated the strong muscles on his arms, and oil and sweat dripped from his body along the swinging hammer.

Selecting materials, burning materials, forging, quenching, shoveling... the processes are changing at his hands.

Grass knives, shovels, iron forks, picks, sickles, cutters...one-handed swords, half-handed swords, daggers, axes, spears, darts...all kinds of tools and weapons took shape under his hands.

The process of clamping and wrapping steel, as well as the heat and time of cooling during the quenching process, are being controlled more and more accurately.

Then the anvil became a lathe.

The bow arms, bow handles, bow tips, bow strings, and arrows were polished and woven under his deft fingers.

It was as if he had been training boringly for more than ten years in an instant, and everything in the world turned into the shape of a weapon before his eyes.

Dean's expression changed, and his eyes were like stars flashing across the bright Milky Way.

After a long time, a lot of knowledge and experience sank into his mind, and his eyes became deep and obscure again. He breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed a bath towel and put it on his back to wipe it vigorously.

"Find an opportunity, buy some tools, and try to use the teeth of the human-faced rat in space... to make a few flying knives and arrows?"

……

Experience the blacksmith expertise.

Dean put a little shampoo on his hair and closed his eyes to feel the effect of the omen feat. Unfortunately, he didn't feel any strangeness at all. This feat seemed to be triggered only under certain circumstances.

……

Dean rubbed his scalp and continued to examine the next harvest - a reminder appeared in the mental attributes:
Spirit: 21.3
After spiritual breakthrough level 2, you have gained a new enhancement. The "shadow" connected to your soul has mastered telekinesis expertise, and its telekinesis has been advanced:
The essence of telekinesis is to convert spirit, thoughts, and emotions into material forms and manipulate tangible and intangible things.

In the past, it mainly manipulated tangible objects, causing interference and damage to matter.

Now, it can interfere with smaller things to produce or control more subtle substances, or various forms of energy: fire, electricity, light, sound...

Manipulate thermal energy to light a match, emit an electric arc, create a ball of light, extract drinkable water from the air (the same effect can be achieved if the willpower is high enough and the energy is contained)...

Use telekinesis to influence the thoughts and emotions of others, exert psychological suggestions, hypnosis, influence their emotions and decisions, and even erase or add a memory for others.

Please explore the specific effects of advanced telekinesis on your own.

……

hiss--

Dean was stunned, opened his mouth and took several sips of bath water.

In the past, he used the telekinesis power of "Shadow", which was basically rough long-range strikes, using force to break force, or used as invisible wings to fly!

But now, telekinesis seems to have entered a new realm, becoming a kind of elemental magic?
Manipulating energy with mind power?
Dean immediately summoned "Shadow" to his side.

After breaking through the second level of spirit, the black mist-like body of "Shadow" became more solid, surrounded by pieces of cotton-like crystals, and his eyes became vivid, just like ordinary people.

He floated next to Dean, receiving the "Flame" command, and a flash of red light flashed in his dark eyes.

At the same time, Dean frowned, raised his left index finger, held his breath, and tried his best to imagine in his mind that the heat energy in the space was transferred to his fingertips, where the flame was burning.

Five seconds.

A flame the size of a fingernail shot up on the top of his index finger. It seemed to be crumbling and might go out at any moment. However, the intense burning pain of burning flesh and blood on his finger made him scream in surprise. He doused the flame with bath water and the burn on his fingertip healed quickly.

His eyes turned to the blue towel above the sink, and his eyes became fierce.

Increase the intensity——

Boom!

After two seconds.

A flame as small as the knuckle of an index finger ignited on the towel. Less than two seconds after it came into the world, it was extinguished by a puff of steam from the bathroom.

Dean was not discouraged and nodded with a cheerful smile on his face.

At present, he seems to be very unskilled in manipulating energy, and can only control energy in a very small area with difficulty.

But after his proficiency increases, he can control the flow of heat energy and air to achieve explosion or freezing effects.

It is possible to manipulate light energy to create lethal lasers, and in the future it may even be possible to manipulate radiant energy, although this process may be lengthy.

But now it can also enhance Dean's ability to adapt to changes in circumstances, giving him more ways to solve problems!

In addition, Dean is even more looking forward to the ability to influence other people's psychology using thoughts and hypnotic suggestion.

The effect should be stronger, I'll find someone to try it later.

……

Dean hummed the music comfortably, dried his body, and put on a close-fitting sports coat.

Then he looked at the last reward——

After reaching level 2 of mental breakthrough and reaching the minimum requirements, you can continue to consume mental attributes to expand your fantasy space.

The current fantasy space is lv0: the volume is 2 cubic meters, and the upper limit is 1 point of spirit.

When your spirit reaches 30 points, you can continue to invest.

Dean immediately added the 1 point of free attribute gained from the upgrade to his spirit. The mental attribute increased by 0.5, but the next second, the increased 0.5 was deducted again.

Originally filled with firearms, ammunition, nutritional supplies, and US dollars, almost every corner of the fantasy space was crowded. The boundaries around the fantasy space became blurred and softened into circles of black mist. The mist surged outward, revealing a wider area. Space, crowded suddenly turned into ample.

Volume - 2 cubic meters → 4 cubic meters.

……

Dean rubbed his chin, and the corners of his mouth curved wider.

"0.5 spirit, the volume has doubled. If you have the opportunity to consume another 0.5, the volume can reach 6 cubic meters..."

"This is God's will, let me hunt more supernatural creatures and store their biological materials."

At the end, Dean smiled at the strong and sunny man in the mirror and examined his attributes:

…………

bang bang.

knocking.

"Dean, haven't you finished taking a shower?" A clear and sweet voice interrupted his inspection,
"Trish? Do you want to use the bathroom? I'll be out right away." Dean glanced at the girl. She changed into a sleeveless white shirt and denim shorts, which showed off her slender curves and her face with light makeup. Stained with a nervous blush.

"No, I think I should go out to eat for a while after eating. Can you accompany me? Don't worry, we can't walk too far and you won't sweat."

"Come here." Dean put on his clothes and opened the bathroom door. Trish raised her head and looked at his delicate and shiny cheeks that had just been bathed. She wrinkled her nose and inhaled the good smell of soap on him. , eyes narrowed.

"Ms. Lynette and Daley aren't going?"

"They have something to do, it's just the two of us!" Trish held his arm, pressed her warm and soft body against it, and pulled him out of the room.
