Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 487: Misfortune
The ground shook slightly, causing the gravel on the beach to sway.

Soon, a figure nearly three meters tall appeared from the edge of the primeval forest on the island.

It is gray-white in color and seems to be composed of a single boulder. Its face is pitted and has no obvious eyes, mouth, or ears.

"The stone giant, its core is the main potion material of the Sequence Five 'Guardian', and it has extremely high defense power." Cattleya whispered the monster's information.

Although Klein and Anderson didn't know anything about this monster, it didn't stop them from staring at the monster with serious expressions.

Cattleya turned around, took a few steps closer to the "Future", half-raised her right hand, amplified her voice and shouted:

"aim!"

After receiving Cattleya's order, the pirates on duty on the ship immediately adjusted the direction of the dozens of cannons on the port side, aiming them all at the stone giant who was walking heavily.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cannonballs flew out one after another, and dust instantly rose up around Luo and the stone giant, covering the surrounding area. As the flames swirled around, debris flew everywhere, as if it could destroy everything.

With a kick, the tall gray figure rushed out of the smoke-filled area. The round of shell attacks just now only shook some of the rocks on its surface.

Anderson looked at this scene with some smacking of tongue in cheek, and said in a teasing tone:
"Isn't this defense too strong? If it were the guardians of the 'Giant' path, wouldn't they be unscathed by this round of artillery?"

"No wonder there aren't even any official demigods stationed in the Gargas Islands. It's difficult for extraordinary beings below demigods to break through the defenses when faced with those big guys."

Renekton, who was sitting on the beach chair, stood up. He held his right hand in mid-air and dragged it. In just a moment, he condensed an ancient-style weapon, with ball after ball burning from the tip to the handle. A little bit of blood and dark red spear.

The dark red spear came out of his hand at the moment of solidification, leaving a slowly dissipating stream of light in the air, going straight through the heart of the stone giant.

The dark red spear left a hole the size of a bowl in the heart of the stone giant, instantly penetrated its body and fell into the virgin forest behind.

boom!
A huge explosion sounded, setting off a cloud of sand and debris, and a dark red fire erupted, turning all the dust and trees into ashes.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and the stone giant's body continued to move forward as if it had not yet reacted.

As soon as it put down its right leg, its body fell down, causing a small vibration on the ground. The heavy body stiffened in place, and crackling sounds continued to be heard from inside the body. Within a few seconds, a three-meter-high The stone giant collapsed into a pile of rubble.

Anderson looked sideways at Renekton in surprise and said, "You can also see its weaknesses?"

"The eyes of those who can see into secrets are better." Renekton responded in a calm voice.

Klein looked at the stone giant that had fallen to rubble and the exaggerated depression left in the blasted primeval forest behind it. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. It felt like using a cannon to hit mosquitoes. This stone giant He died quite honorably.

"So, since this stone giant can be eliminated so easily, what was the purpose of the previous round of artillery?"

As Anderson spoke, he approached the stone giant's body.

"This is not a real monster. There is no gain." Renekton said calmly as he explained why he did not deal with this monster from the beginning.

Anderson suddenly stopped as he approached the monster's body. He stared at the gravel in front of him without blinking, and saw them disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As expected of a guy riddled with misfortune, even the monsters he attracted were fake and left no harvest at all. Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart and gave up on his idea of ​​using the unlucky Anderson as bait to attract monsters to hunt. idea.

Attracting such false monsters is all in vain.

Anderson shrugged his shoulders and fell back, chattering uncontrollably:

"The biggest problem in this sea area is this. Not every monster can provide wealth, and it may be just a waste of time."

"That's why the 'audience' is the most annoying way." Renekton sighed in a low voice and lay back on the beach chair made of stars.

"Why 'audience'? These false monsters are related to the 'audience' pathway?"

Anderson came over very familiarly and sat cross-legged on the beach next to Renekton.

Renekton glanced sideways at Anderson who was close to him, and said in a calm voice:

"So why didn't you concentrate on your studies? If you had enough knowledge about survival in the wild, you wouldn't have triggered the power on the murals left by Ourolius, nor would you have been able to trigger the abilities of the gods in the 'spectator' path. Not sure."

Anderson's mouth twitched and he lowered his head, then sighed and changed the topic:

"Those beings that you just mentioned have control over part of the destiny. How can I get their help? Sacrificing my faith? Or sacrificing my soul?"

Klein glanced at Goddess Anderson with a complicated expression. She will definitely not pay attention to you, a shallow believer who has temporarily changed her faith. Ouroloius and Will Auceptin are still in a stalemate, and they probably have no time or mood to pay attention to you. As for " "The Fool", I'm sorry, I'm just an unknown person in Sequence Six. Mr. "The Fool" can't do anything. Only Amon may answer the prayer out of curiosity. He doesn't want much, just everything you have.

Perhaps Klein's gaze was too obvious. Anderson looked back suspiciously. He felt that the unknown person looked at him with some pity in his eyes. His thoughts swirled for a while, and Anderson returned to his smiling appearance. His eyes lingered on Renekton and Klein for a while and he said:

"What do you call it?"

"Al Tynes."

"Gehrman Sparrow."

Renekton and Klein gave their false names in a calm tone.

Anderson was stunned for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. He turned to look at Renekton and said with a smile:

"I've heard about you, well, mainly from the wanted list of the Church of Storms. There are rumors at sea that you have a good relationship with 'Vice Admiral Iceberg'? I used to be classmates with Edwina."

As Klein watched Endeavor and Renekton chatting up Anderson, thoughts came to his mind one by one:

He is a classmate of "Lieutenant General Iceberg". Although he has not joined the Knowledge Church, judging from Al's tone, he still maintains contact with the Knowledge Church. He said that he was kicked out because he failed the exam, right? This is a very intellectual church, judging people by their IQ.

Cattleya also set her sights on Anderson. The hidden thread of the Church of Knowledge on the sea? There may be many people among the treasure hunters who are related to the Church of Knowledge, hunters who pursue treasures and scholars who pursue knowledge.
Ignoring the looks of Klein and Cattleya looking at him, Anderson turned to look at Klein with a smile and said:
"Gehrman Sparrow, a bounty hunter who has recently emerged on the sea, has hunted many pirates in just a few months, including some powerful pirates. The most legendary one is that he almost hunted 'Sickness' Will', known as the craziest hunter!"

"If it weren't for the continuous natural disasters on the Rhoside Islands, I would have gone to have a drink with you. Unfortunately, the Church of Storms has almost driven away all the pirates there."

"We know each other now." Klein nodded and responded in a calm voice.

The few people exchanged briefly for a while, then rested on the beach where Renekton used starlight to block part of the sun.

Until the pirates' relaxation time was over, the "Future" soon set sail again and headed towards the depths of the ocean.

As a hunter, Anderson wandered around the ship and soon became involved with the pirates on the "Future".

Renekton sat on the side of the ship and glanced at Anderson, who was sitting in the shadow of the cabin drinking with a few pirates. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. As expected of the unlucky Anderson, he directly chose the drink that Frank had spiked. .

Klein, who had been observing the situation on the deck, looking for traces of the mermaid, took a step forward and came closer. Seeing that there was no one else around, he no longer maintained his persona of Gehrman Sparrow.

Anyway, I have finished digesting the Faceless Man potion. When I don't need to play, I can withdraw from the role, which is better for my mental state.

While his thoughts were floating around, Klein put one hand on the side of the ship, jumped hard on his toes, and sat on the side of the ship side by side with Renekton. He asked with some concern in his tone:
"Is there something wrong with your state? Since the last time you met the golden carriage, you have become much colder. Although your usual behavior has not changed much, in the eyes of the Faceless Man, These are obvious anomalies.”

Renekton chuckled and nodded, then shook his head and said:
"If you borrow a high-level power that does not belong to you, you will inevitably be affected by the owner of the power. It is not a big impact. You only need to slowly adjust your mental state, and you will be able to recover in less than two months."

While speaking, he stretched out his right hand forward and took out a playing card from the shadow of his backlight. He lightly touched the playing card with his right index finger twice. A burst of light blue stardust fell down, and an instant appeared on the playing card. Some indescribable changes.

Renekton handed the cards to Klein and said:
"You can take a look, or go play a dress-up game above the gray fog."

"Dress up game? Am I the character you cultivated in your game backpack?" Klein complained as he reached out and took the card.

At first glance, he noticed the ancient Fusac words in the upper right corner of the card: Sequence 0: Hermit.

On the front of the card is an old Russell with white hair and beard, wearing a tattered robe, holding a lantern in one hand and a cane in the other.

Klein looked at the cards in his hand and couldn't help but sigh:

"After looking at the Black Emperor card and then the Hermit card, I suddenly felt like the Great Emperor was in despair."

Renekton twitched the corners of his lips, and then said thoughtfully:

"If you use this card to create a clone of the paper man, will there be an angel with a lantern beside 'The Fool'?"

"Angel with a lantern?" Klein tilted his head slightly, thought for a while and then said: "Can you use this card to leverage the power of the gray fog to clean up the bad luck on the unlucky Anderson?"

Renekton shook his head slightly and said:

"No, the power of destiny in the 'Hermit' path is mainly reflected in the fields of observation, prediction, etc., and does not have the ability to directly interfere with destiny. If you take the Error or Fool card, you can use the corresponding occult connection to Pathways to high-sequence abilities solve Anderson’s doom-ridden problems.”

"Then who do you plan to ask Anderson to find to solve his problem?" Klein asked curiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally sunny noon suddenly turned dark, and a deep, silent night enveloped the entire sea area.

The "Future" was also instantly covered with a layer of starlight, illuminating the passages leading to various places, and Cattleya's voice spread throughout the ship:
"Everyone, please go back to your room immediately, or find a corner and go to sleep."
