âWe are planning to return tomorrow, what about you, Mr. Sean?â
Isaac fed Hallock a bone and looked at Su Lu.
âOf course, Iâll go back with you, um⌠maybe I need to go to the police station to seek help, to replace my identity documentsâŚâ
Su Lu replied with a smile, âPlease be sure to leave your contact information.â
He was hinting that he would repay this favor.
But itâs a trivial matter, a donation of ten to twenty Golden Dragons per person should suffice.
Strictly speaking, they didnât save him, they only provided a trifling amount of help.
âOh, you can go to Grammar University and mention any one of our namesâŚâ
Isaac smiled, âI like making friends, especially travelers. Listening to their experiences from different places is very interestingâŚâ
âAt this point, we canât help but bring out our treasure!â
With a smile, James brought out several bottles of alcohol and gave the two ladies some other drinks, âThese beverages have low alcohol content, suitable for ladies!â
âAnd John, you must have a drink!â
He patted John on the shoulder and handed him a large goblet, âLangzim Liquor⌠dubbed the blood of the warrior race. If you can light this drink on fire and down it in one gulp, itâll take away all your fears.â
Intrigued, John took a deep gulp.
âCough, coughâŚâ
Immediately, he seemed to be unable to handle the strong liquor and started coughing relentlessly.
âHa ha⌠John, did the Revenant scare you into becoming a woman during the day?â James laughed heartily.
However, the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly.
Thatâs because John had fallen on the ground, holding his own neck with both hands, and his face had turned purple.
âMy God⌠whatâs wrong with him?â
The two ladies screamed.
âHe⌠Is he choking?â
Isaac was dumbfounded.
This was the first time he had seen someone choke this hard from drinking alcohol.
As time went by, his expression changed, sensing that John was suffocating and might die if it continued like this!
âJohn, take deep breaths! Youâll be okay!â
Isaac and James rushed over to help John, but were swept away by a startling strength.
As they watched Johnâs face turning more purple and him about to faint,
a strange voice resonated around them.
It was hard to describe the feeling, like nails scratching on glass, intense metallic friction, or crowds of people screaming in their ears.
Isaac turned around and saw Su Lu.
He was looking at John lying on the ground with a serious expression, uttering ambiguous notes from his mouth.
Those didnât seem like notes, but rather like the screams of a lunatic, filled with noise!
The Language of Arrogance!
It was a more mysterious language than Gulam Language and Ancient Hebrew, carrying more mysterious power.
If it were an ordinary person, even if they were proficient in Ancient Hebrew, it would be hard for them to successfully conduct a ritual.
But The Language of Arrogance was different!
Once learned, even a commoner can chant it to instantly unleash transcendent powers!
Of course, its syllables were strange and almost challenging the limit of the human throat.
If Su Lu did not have the attribute bar and directly obtained âKnowledge of the Mad Godâ, he would probably be as confused as the common folk around him, unable to remember a single note, let alone speak it out loud.
In this frenzy of shouts, akin to a heavy metal rock concert, Johnâs choking miraculously calmed down.
He spat out a mouthful of liquor and swore, âBullshit⌠it almost killed me!â
At this time, Isaac and others were staring at his neck with a bizarre expression.
Over there, two purplish handprints were embedded on his skin like tattoos.
âA ghost!â
âItâs a revenant of the day ⌠it still wonât let us go!â
Diana was the first to break down, spilling the wine glass in her hand and bursting into tears.
Whoosh!
The cold night wind extinguished the bonfire.
The surroundings instantly chilled to the bone, as if the forest were harboring numerous dangerous creatures, emitting threatening auras.
A sense of panic spread among the crowd.
The only calm ones were Su Lu and a dog.
âSean ⌠Were you reciting a spell to exorcise it?â Elizabeth looked to Su Lu first: âAre you the legendary mystic?â
Suddenly, everyoneâs gaze towards Su Lu was as if looking at a savior.
âIndeed ⌠I am a folk enthusiast, with some research in the mystical area ⌠the spell just now, was a casual discovery during an archaeological expeditionâŚâ
Su Lu laughed.
Actually, he had seen it just now.
A revenant in ancient hunter attire, bleeding from the eyes, was strangling Johnâs neck.
That was the real cause of his suffocation!
Su Lu chose the Language of Arrogance to order it to withdraw. Naturally, because it only required vocal exertion, without any use of inspiration. It was the most cost-effective solution.
âWhat do we do now? Will that ⌠revenant, return?â
Elizabeth grabbed Su Luâs shoulders, asking urgently.
âClearly⌠it does not seek reconciliation!â
Su Lu pointed in a direction.
âAh!â
There, the revenant appeared again, semi-translucent, with a rigid expression, and cold eyes fixed on the campsite.
âAh!â
âThere really are ghosts!â
Everyone in the camp was thrown into chaos again.
âHa ha ⌠what do we do ⌠ha haâŚâ
The large and sturdy James was holding an axe, his teeth chattering relentlessly.
Perhaps he could bravely fight against bandits, but when facing ghosts, he lost all his nerve.
You canât blame him.
Everyone has something they fear.
âAs for whatâs nextâŚâ
Su Lu had just tested the strength of the Language of Arrogance, and it was really quite good, but a little vocally exhausting.
âI think⌠it should be up to him!â
Following his gesture, Isaac saw an innocent-looking Hallock: âHmm? You mean ⌠my dog?â
âYes, Hallock received transcendent powers yesterday, this is its responsibility!â
After all, it was this troublesome husky that took the Revenantâs treasure.
You should solve the troubles you create yourself, even if itâs just a dog.
âHallock ⌠transcendent powers?â
Isaac looked at the serious-looking husky, his expression was a little dull, then looking into Hallockâs eyes, he said: âTell me⌠was I dreaming last night?â
As soon as the words were out, he was lying on the ground, like a dog, putting a bone in front of Hallock, only missing wagging a tail.
The people around, Elizabeth and James included, looked at this scene with dazed expressions.
âI seem to remember too âŚâ
Diana murmured: âLast night, I was stewing a bone for Hallock âŚâ
âHmm? Whatâs happening?â
Isaac who was digging a hole with his right leg, suddenly came to his senses, looking at his own state and the bizarre gazes of those around him, he voiced a question.
