Chapter 512: 506: Strange Ghosts

Since Collins Clark’s top-grade Star Ring appeared here, it meant that he had most likely perished. This was undoubtedly great news for David Jones.

David’s gaze towards Aqua became increasingly friendly.

“These things are very important to me, and their value far exceeds the compensation for healing you. If you have any wishes, as long as they are not too excessive, I can grant one of them.”

David didn’t mind offering some benefits, considering the value of just the dulled bracelet, let alone the top-grade Star Ring and the Void Protective Ring.

Forceless Ice Guardian: Class VII Epic B tier Defensive Arcane Implement, capable of generating a defensive shield that can withstand the full force of a Class VII Beast’s attack when infused with Arcane Force.

Current Status: Arcane energy exhausted; requires one month of absorbing Arcane Force to recover.

Defensive arcane implements that survived the Red Earth Elixir explosion were few and far between. Thus, although David only found two such items, it was not clear how many Collins Clark had actually worn. Nobody knew except Clark himself.

It wouldn’t have been easy to kill a fully armed Epic strong one if it weren’t for Grau entering the half-step Legend and creating an exceeded standard Red Earth Elixir!

At this moment, Aqua felt long-lost goodwill from David, and she was able to perceive the emotions of Humans and Beasts, which made her feel relieved in her heart.

The world of adults was filled with lies, so she could understand David’s lies, as long as he didn t plan to make things difficult for her and her sister.

After hesitating for a moment, Aqua asked in a low voice while holding onto the faint hope, “Can you heal my Ghost Horn?”

“Ghost Horn???”

David never expected Aqua’s request to be this. It truly touched on his knowledge blind spot!

“Is that not possible? Then, can a spirit level elixir do it?” Aqua lowered her head with a bit of self-consciousness.

David was not a member of the Ghost race, and even obtaining some information about the race from Hongying, he still couldn’t fully understand the importance of Ghost Horns to the Ghosts.

To the Ghosts, the Ghost Horns on their forehead were not only the source of their power, but also a symbol of their status and even extended to their aesthetics.

Appearance and figure were not important factors for Ghosts. In their eyes, the longer and shinier the Ghost Horn, the more attractive the Ghost. This was also one of the reasons why Aqua, with her broken horn, was not well-received in the village.

However, the main reason was that Ghosts with broken or missing Ghost Horns couldn’t advance to becoming Ghost Chieftains and were forced to remain in the Ghost Soldier Realm for their entire lives, becoming bottom-of-the-barrel beings that couldn’t even defeat a Class I Beast.

“I have no experience in healing Ghost Horns, but I can try,” Seeing the self-consciousness in Aqua’s eyes, David hesitated, “If I can’t heal it in the end, I’ll give you a Monarch-tier elixir.”

Compared to the arcane implements that Aqua brought, a five-level spirit plant was nothing.

It was not that David didn’t want to give her a higher-grade elixir, but for a powerless Ghost girl, a high-value elixir would only bring her more disaster.

Upon hearing this, Beryl excitedly hugged Aqua, “Sister, congratulations!”

Aqua’s body stiffened as she saw the white bones in her hand. She didn’t dare to hug her sister with it, fearing the spread of the deadly poison.

“Before I heal you, can you take me to the place where that body appeared? I have some things I need to confirm.”

“No problem.” Aqua nodded and got up immediately.

After taking the Detoxification Elixir, her familiar strength returned, and she could barely take David to Star Abyss Lake’s creek.

David marveled as he saw Aqua’s complexion quickly return to its normal state.

“The Ghost race’s constitution is truly formidable. If it were a Trainer, they would have to lie in bed for at least two or three days with such severe injuries!”

Then he gently tapped his finger on Rainbow that rested on his wrist.

Rainbow immediately transformed into a stream of light and rushed out of the hut, then, in the astonished and incredulous gazes of Beryl and Aqua, rapidly expanded, turning into a mighty, elegant, and domineering flood dragon.

“It’s a dragon!” Beryl and Aqua’s minds went blank.

Even in a remote village, they clearly understood what the dragon race represented!

In the Holy Dragon Kingdom, dragons inherently represented lofty status and immense power.

“It is my mount, as well as my partner. You can call it Rainbow,” David Jones introduced.

Upon hearing this, Rainbow glanced at David Jones but didn’t refute his words.

Withm the Umbral, there were no Trainers who commanded beasts to fight. Only those who practiced body cultivation to the extreme and some powerful Ghost Elites would rely on their strength to subdue beasts as their mounts.

In order to fit in and not expose his identity, David Jones could only introduce Rainbow as his mount.

“The surname Rainbow!”

Beryl and Aqua exchanged glances, both seeing the solemnity in each other’s eyes.

The healer’s identity was undoubtedly more precious than they’d imagined, no wonder he hadn’t revealed his full name.

“Let’s go.”

As David Jones’ voice fell, a flash of light from Rainbow’s eyes caused Beryl and Aqua to float into the sky under the control of Confusion.

Star Abyss Lake was one of the largest natural rivers in the south of

Silver-Abyssal City, Night County. There were numerous tributaries within the Mountain Silver-Abyssal. One meandering tributary passed through Silver-Abyssal Mountains and Penance Mountain, making the northern part of Penance Mountain a gathering area for beasts.

Penance Village was nestled between a mountain and a river. The village’s water shortage wasn’t due to a lack of water resources, but rather because the areas with abundant waters and lush vegetation were occupied by powerful beasts,

With Aqua’s current strength, she naturally couldn’t enter the main flow of Star Abyss Lake, which was teeming with beasts. She could only access a few smaller tributaries where the villagers usually fetched water. The strongest beasts that lurked there were at most upper-level Class III.

At that moment, Rainbow exhaled a Frostfall Breath, turning an Orange Wind Rabbit an infamous Class III Wind rabbit known for its sweet and sour taste____________________

into an ice sculpture. It was panicked and overwhelmed by the Dragon Domination.

“It’s been a long time since I had spicy rabbit head!”

Having thrown the lifeless Orange Wind Rabbit into the Star Ring in anticipation of dinner, David Jones turned his attention to Aqua.

“Another mile forward!” Aqua said.

Soon, by a small creek, David Jones discovered the upper half of Collins Clark’s body. His lower half had been corroded by the severe poison and disappeared without a trace, leaving him completely naked.

“What a pity. There’s no trace of the Five-Hells Crown!”

David Jones looked disappointedly towards the upstream creek after personally confirming the death of Collins Clark.

There were two possibilities: the vanished Five-Hells Crown either sank into the upstream of Star Abyss Lake or was summoned back by the Sacred Soul Sect’s Sect Master.

Regardless of the possibility, it meant David Jones had no fate with the legendary arcane implement known as the Five-Hells Crown. However, he was more inclined to believe in the second possibility.

The environment here is good. Why don’t we treat her here?” Suppressing the disappointment in his heart, David Jones suggested.

Aqua: “I will listen to everything you say, sir!”

David Jones nodded, then unleashed the Illusion-Piercing Eye on Aqua.

However, the information revealed by the Illusion-Piercing Eye made David Jones’s pupils suddenly contract, and his eyes were filled with astonishment and doubt..
