Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 57 57. Inventory
The ward was quiet again, and Dean was finally able to calm down and sort out the rewards he earned at the risk of death.

The first is the expertise gained from killing the ghost Alexander——

Junior Paranormal Hunter: Hunters harvest trophies from their prey.

You can draw a sliver of power from the supernatural creatures you kill or die because of you, immediately restore a small amount of vitality and stamina, and draw 0-2 points of one of their random attributes.

Note that you can only draw attributes higher than yours. If all attributes of the target are lower than yours, you will not be able to draw any power from it.

The higher this attribute is than yourself, the higher the power you draw.

……

Dean's eyes lit up.

"This is not the real version of killing monsters to become stronger."

With this expertise.

He only needs to continue to search, investigate, plan, and hunt powerful supernatural life to increase his strength.

Of course, the risk is also huge. If you are not fully prepared, hunting can easily become "suicide".

In addition, he is more inclined to eliminate the evil existence of Alexander.

He glanced at the attributes, and unknowingly, the spirit changed from 13.2 to 14.2. He absorbed a full point of spirit from the old ghost he killed, and the shadow of the past was strengthened again!
The wind picked up.

"Shadow" flew out of Dean's body and circled around the ward.

Tested briefly.

Its range of activities has expanded from 13 meters to 17 meters, and its duration has increased from six and a half minutes to nearly 8 minutes. The speed and strength have not increased much.

The focus of "Shadow"'s growth should not be on this aspect, but on gradually possessing the abilities of fetching objects from space, piercing screams, or mental impact like Alexander.

……

Withdrawing the "Shadow", Dean turned his attention to the event column.

Event—Brother completes [-]%.

Withdraw rewards.

Experience value +110, personal level lv1 (180/200), the event is medium difficulty, you get a special reward, a skill of the ghost Alexander Raphael——

Balance meditation method lv0 (0/100):

A part of the human soul is hidden in the depths of the universe, turning into a star, which lasts forever and will not be annihilated with the cycle of death.

Therefore, human beings like to look up at the starry sky.

Suffering from insomnia and mental illness, psychics have created this method. Through special breathing, posture, visualization of this unique star, and confluence with its ideas, they can regulate the body and mind, empty out distracting thoughts, and release mental stress. , maintain a calm self.

When meditating, you will gradually enter a deep dormant state, and quickly restore your physical fitness and energy.

Note: This ability will balance your spirit and will attributes. Every time you level up, the lower of these two attributes will be slightly increased to bring them closer to balance.

……

Balance meditation?

Dean had never seen such a strange ability,

"The promotion attribute is not fixed, and the spiritual will choose one."

The stars in the universe converge and narrow the gap between the two. This description is also very interesting.

"From this point of view, the reason why psychics suffer from insomnia and mental abnormalities is not simply because their spiritual attributes are too high, but because their spirit exceeds their will too much, making them unable to perfectly restrain their spirit and control their overly active thinking Emotions cannot resist negative information from the outside world, so they are easily stimulated, collapsed, and split."

Dean has a feeling in his heart.

If the spirit is water, then the attribute of will is the container of water.

Too much water, too small container.

The water will overflow, even crush the container, submerge everything, and make people crazy.

The balanced development of the two at the same time can form a "reservoir" that provides continuous combat capabilities, or even a sufficient "reservoir".

"From this, it is not only psychics, but also ordinary people. If there are mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, madness and obsession...excluding organic changes, it is because the spirit exceeds the will too much."

Conversely, if the will exceeds the spirit and is too exaggerated, feelings and thoughts will be suppressed, and people will become numb, indifferent, and lose humanity and empathy.

……

Dean glanced at himself: the spirit was 14.2, and the will was 11.2, just a difference of 3 points.

"I haven't been able to sleep well some time ago because of the sudden increase in energy. Now, the gap has widened again."

"Don't give me insomnia again! Well, you can't just focus on energy in the future."

He was alert.

"In order not to become a lunatic and a cold-blooded machine, I must practice balance meditation as soon as possible."

It happened to be seriously injured, and I couldn't practice fighting and shooting for the time being, so I came to balance meditation several times a day.

perfect.

……

Next, Dean took out the Sleepless One's plank.

Smooth as jade.

Not only can it be used to host psychic rituals to summon ghosts, but it can also allow human beings to see ghosts with their naked eyes.

Possesses special power and is extremely lethal to spirit bodies.

Alexander was invulnerable to swords and guns, and even the flames couldn't make it die quickly. After being pierced into his body by this plank, he turned into fly ash without any resistance.

Its strength is evident.

A shameless routine immediately popped up in Dean's mind.

"Find out where there are haunted houses in Nevada."

"Bring the shaman board and go to the haunted house to perform the psychic ritual."

"If an evil spirit is summoned, use this plank to kill it."

"Exercising skills, triggering supernatural hunters, and absorbing attributes."

Get it in one fell swoop!
But that's just a naive idea of ​​Dean's.

Finding a real haunted house is a hassle, and it's too risky to implement. If he bumps into one or a few psychic-level ghosts that are not inferior to Alexander, he's not sure if he'll be lucky enough to win a second time, or lie like this for another month ?

To start this routine, he had to wait until he had enough self-protection power.

……

Organize your thoughts.

Dean clenched the plank and tried to summon the shadow of the past.

But this time the result was the exact opposite of the previous one in the Parnon house.

"Ying" obeyed obediently, and flew to the shackle board, expressing an impatience to wait.

"Why did you change your attitude so much?" Dean looked at Ying with a dull face. He remembered that this guy was terribly afraid of ghosts back then. "Is it because the ghosts of Alexander and Panon who were sealed inside are gone?"

"Shadow" couldn't answer such a complicated question, its pure black eyes were staring at the board with longing—it wanted to go in.

Dean's eyes turned, and he remembered something. When he summoned Alexander, he used his own blood to bless the plank, and successfully held a psychic ceremony.

Later, its original owner, the ghost Alexander, could not control the shackles, but asked Dean to take the initiative to hand it over.

"So, I have already stamped my brand on this ghost board, so the shadow that also belongs to me is no longer afraid."

The more Dean thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he nodded and agreed, watching "Shadow" turn into a wisp of black smoke and fly into the plank.
Like a whale returning to the sea, there is a sense of comfort and comfort.

Dean held up the shackle to observe, there was a flash of red light and a moment of hotness in the teardrop-shaped, jade-like texture.

Moreover, he could clearly feel the existence and state of the "shadow" in the ghost board.

There was no disconnection.

Dean thought again.

Shadow manipulated the dagger board inside and flew up out of thin air, dragging out afterimages with a hissing sound of breaking through the air, and whirled round and round in the mid-air of the ward.

The sharp edges and corners shone coldly, like a sharp-edged weapon, which could easily cut through flesh and blood.

Dean is getting more and more satisfied with the board.

It can break the body of ghosts, and can also be used as a melee dagger and a long-range flying hidden weapon to cause physical damage.

It will become your own secret weapon.

Dean changed the order.

"Shadow" obediently flew out of the plank.

Then there are several attempts.

Even if you live in the Qiban, the limit distance between "shadow" and yourself is still 17 meters.

Once it exceeds this range, it will immediately fly out of the plank and return to Dean's body.

In addition, it is currently unclear what benefits "Shadow" can gain from this board. It will take some time to observe the effect.

"Man, this thing will be your home from now on."

Dean clenched his hands tightly, hoping that "Shadow" would become a little stronger, so that he wouldn't be crushed so badly by the psychic level.

After summarizing the harvest of this incident, Dean finally turned his attention to his own attributes:

……

He closed his eyes, leaned gently on the hospital bed, and the steps of balance meditation flowed through his mind.

"The body relaxes to the most comfortable and stress-free posture, breathing rhythm..."

"Imagine sitting on a grassland that stretches as far as the eye can see, looking up at the bright night sky and twinkling stars."

"One of them has firmly attracted your attention..."

"You feel the special magnetic field of this star, and you and it are attracted to each other, getting closer and closer."

"Your spirit, will, body, all tangible and intangible, are drawn by it along with beams of starlight."

"Its atmosphere and gravity filter impurities from you."

"Return the essence to you..."
