Mysterious journey

"Cellar? Okay! You can arrange it."

The few people wandered around in the forest for a while, and Tali Mercury seemed to find the big tree mark that he had memorized before. After looking for several road signs in succession, they finally came to a slightly wider forest and grassland.

"This is it. I had a picnic here last time I came here." Tali Mercury walked onto the grass with a smile and stepped on the ground in the middle with his feet. Suddenly his expression changed.

"No! Someone else has been here! Silan!"

Miss Silan hurried forward, bent down and started groping on the ground, and soon found a metal ring and lifted it up.

The ring was black and red, covered with rust, and it seemed to be another metal inside, with a faint hint of smooth white and silver.

Mercury in the tower was also looking for it, but he was not as fast as Silan. When he saw the ring, he came over and grabbed the ring and pulled it up hard.

Wow!

A square wooden board was pulled up, and large pieces of dirt and grass clippings fell down, revealing a dark hollow below.

Garen didn't ask how Mercury in the tower knew someone was here again. He just saw that the faces of the two people suddenly became serious, and he felt that the atmosphere was a little tense.

He also walked over, stood at the entrance of the cave and looked in. It was dark inside and he didn't know how deep it was.

"I'll go down and take a look." Surprisingly, it was Miss Silan who took the initiative to speak, not Detective Tali Mercury.

"Be safe." The detective actually agreed, nodding towards Miss Silan with a solemn expression.

"It's better for me to go down. It's not good for Miss Silan to go down for something like this," Garen said hesitantly.

"It's nothing. Silan is not the pretty lady she appears to be. Just look carefully." The detective said calmly.

Silan pulled a white scarf from nowhere, covered her mouth and nose, held a short black dagger in her hand, took out a rope and tied it to a nearby tree, then threw the other end of the rope into the black hole.

"I'm going down first, please stay safe up there. The traces are still fresh, maybe the other party hasn't gone far yet!" Silan said in a deep voice.

"I know, be careful." The detective pulled Garen back two steps, his expression becoming more serious.

Silan pulled the rope and jumped towards the entrance of the cave. She disappeared instantly, and the dark brown rope was stretched tightly.

After more than ten seconds, the rope relaxed, and it was obvious that Miss Silan inside had reached the bottom.

"Sir! Please come down here, there's something going on down there!" Silan's voice came from the cave.

Tali Mercury's expression became more solemn.

"Si Lan said that if there is a situation, it must be serious. I have to go down there myself. Mr. Kelly, I'll leave it to you. I'll leave this gun to you. Please don't leave the vicinity of the cave entrance."

Garen was slightly shocked. He didn't know why Tali Mercury trusted him so much, but after thinking about it carefully, he still had some plans for this great detective, so naturally he couldn't have any other crooked thoughts.

He immediately nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, I will stay close by every step of the way!"

"Please!" Tali Mercury nodded, handed the shotgun to Garen, then arranged his things, tightened his belt, and slowly slid down the hole while holding the rope with both hands.

Within ten seconds, he was completely invisible.

Garen stood alone at the edge of the cave, holding a double-barreled shotgun and paying careful attention to the surroundings.

But fortunately, there was no movement around, only the slight rustling of leaves in the wind.

Not long after, Silan climbed up along the rope, her face gray and a little tired.

"Two bodies were found down there, both of them were in a state of decomposition."

"Corpse?" Garen deliberately made a frightened look and swallowed his saliva, "Miss Silan, are you kidding?" He killed two people directly or indirectly one after another. During this time, he understood the inner workings of the core of the sect. Due to the situation, his mind was more calm and condensed, and there was no way he could be moved by two dead people or anything like that.

"No kidding, it is indeed the bodies of two men."

Silan sat on the grass, put the dagger upside down, and took out a white handkerchief with a light red palm print clearly printed on it.

"What's this?"

"The bloody handprint of the murderer is an important clue." Silan carefully folded the bloody handprint and put it in a small pocket.

"Besides, these are the things in the cellar, sir, I can't identify them." Silan took out a few more small black things in her hand, the surface was covered with gray and black mud. "The gentleman said it might be an antique. He had to check the scene down below and asked me to bring it up to you first.

"Oh?" Garen took it carefully and slowly peeled off the mud on the surface of these gadgets.

Soon, four small objects were neatly placed on the grass. They are four small rusty black iron pieces, all rectangular and as long as a finger knuckle.

The four iron pieces are a bit thick, and there seems to be some vague writing on the surface, which is not very clear.

"How is it?" Silan asked sitting aside.

"It's an antique. It's really useful to me. Very useful!" Garen's face twitched and he quickly returned to his normal expression.

"Sir, he said that if you like it, he will give it to you. It will be a shock to you this time."

Garen's face was heavy and he gently touched an iron piece in the middle. Feeling the potential filaments flowing into his body slowly like a medal, he immediately shook his head after hearing this.

"I don't believe that Tali can't see the value of these pieces of iron. This gift is a bit big, but I have to accept it."

The piece of iron in the middle contains a huge potential aura like the ocean, which is much greater than the original potential aura of the medal!

Garen couldn't let go of it when he held it in his hand. He glanced at Si Lan on one side. This young and beautiful woman was looking at him with a half-smile, and her face suddenly became hot.

There is no way he would give up this piece of iron. If he could absorb all the potential within it, he would definitely be able to gain nearly 10 points of attributes, and it might also be an antique like a medal that continuously provides potential over a long period of time.

He had a vague premonition of this.

"This gift is not an ordinary gift." He held the piece of iron tightly, like holding an ice cube. A steady stream of cold air poured into his hands without any feeling of being frozen.

"It's just that the absorption rate is too slow. You can't even think of absorbing it completely within a few months."

Garen glanced at Silan and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I have a check for one million here." He took out a white bank draft from his inner pocket, neatly folded it and placed it next to the iron plate.

"If I'm not mistaken, this iron plate should be the black jade plate mentioned in the tower before. Another black jade plate not long ago was auctioned in the Weisman Empire for a high price of more than 6 million, so no matter what, This time I took advantage."

He was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something and hesitating a little.

"I made a note of it this time, so I owe Tali a favor."

He said it very solemnly, word for word. In his previous life, Garen was an extremely committed person. He never made promises easily, but once he said it, he would definitely honor it.

This iron plate is like a huge treasure. It brings him not only wealth, but also a real improvement in his own strength. As long as he is kept by his side, his comprehensive attributes will change dramatically after a period of time. It is probably not a big problem to catch up with his senior brothers and sisters. It is possible to even surpass his master Fei Baiyun and reach a limit in a very short time. .

"Mr. Tali knows that you know the goods, and he just needs you to do him a favor. Your favor will be repaid immediately." Silan seemed to have expected this reaction from Garen, and said softly with a smile.

"What are you doing? Just say it. I will definitely do whatever I can do." Garen's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that Mercury in the tower might have seen his disguise.

"Block the Jin Huan who is about to chase him." Silan's eyes darkened and she whispered, "As long as you block it for half an hour, the helpers we have notified will arrive quickly! Of course, it would be best if we can kill him!"

"Golden ring?" Garen suddenly turned his head and looked far to the right.

In the grass, a man with a dark green body, his face covered and a black turban was slowly walking over. A gold earring was quietly worn on his right ear.

"Last time it was you who chased me, this time it's my turn to chase you."

The man's voice was hoarse, giving people a noisy and harsh feeling.

At this time, Mercury in the tower emerged from the black hole, climbed up the rope, panting, and glanced at the golden ring that came over.

"It's up to you Kelly!" He patted Garen on the shoulder, winked at Silan, and the two quickly stood up and ran towards the castle without looking back.

And the man didn't even chase him.

The two ran a long distance in one breath. The woods and grass around them kept moving back, and soon the black fence of the castle could be seen in front of them.

"Sir, can that Kelly really block the golden ring?"

"Huhu. I just want him to delay for a while. I didn't expect him to block the golden ring." Tali Mercury gasped, "The black jade plate I left him is for life. According to the golden ring, Rules, Kelly’s life is not in danger.”

"It seems that you have thought it through, sir." Silan was just panting slightly and seemed to be in good physical strength.

"Let's go, hurry up, Jin Huan will catch up again soon." Tali Mercury got in along the big hole in the fence.

*******************

in the woods

Garen put the black jade plate in his hands and stood up slowly. A series of explosions rang out from all his bones, like firecrackers. "I owe a favor to the tower. I'll pay you back by beating you to death. Don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame you." My life is not good."

His body slowly expanded like a balloon, and his height of 1.7 meters actually grew to over 1.9 meters tall. A violent aura spread quickly. The skin of the muscles quickly changed from fair to slightly black like leather.

Jin Huan's complexion suddenly changed. He was overwhelmed by the strong momentum and involuntarily took two steps back.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Garen didn't reply. He stretched out his arm and grabbed him violently. He actually jumped over a distance of several meters. The terrifying arms covered with veins and knotted muscles suddenly pinched Jin Huan's head like a giant python.
