573: Shadow Amulet

Ryan lowered his head.

He didn't dare to meet Wang Chen's gaze at all.

He never expected that he had acted so humble all along, showing his fear of death very well.

But even in this situation.

The guy in front of him easily saw through his thoughts.

Ryan didn't know if the other party was bluffing him by saying that.

But he didn't dare to gamble.

The scene of his companion being instantly killed was still vivid in his mind, and he didn't want to be the next.

"Sir!"

"You are truly wronging me."

"How could I possibly have thoughts of harming you, Sir? The reason I'm not going in is truly because I'm worried that my strength is insufficient and I would delay your important business."

With his head down, Ryan continuously pleaded his innocence, his tone filled with immense grievance, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

However, in response, Wang Chen merely smiled playfully.

"Insufficient strength? That's not entirely true, is it?"

He looked at Ryan, who was feigning obedience with his head down, and said indifferently:

"When you approached me earlier, if you hadn't voluntarily revealed yourselves, even I wouldn't have discovered your traces. Can such a concealment method be called insufficient strength?"

"I imagine, with this skill, you can move freely throughout Hanfeng City Ruins, except for those Divine-Grade monsters you wouldn't dare to provoke!"

"This..."

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Ryan's body stiffened, and he said hesitantly:

"Sir, please let me explain, this is all due to the effect of magic equipment..."

"Then take it out."

Wang Chen interrupted Ryan unceremoniously, his tone somewhat cold:

"Even I couldn't detect it before. You're just going in to search, are you still afraid of being discovered by those brainless skeletons?"

"If you refuse again, don't blame me for being merciless."

Upon hearing this, Ryan's body unconsciously trembled twice, and the tragic image of his companion's death involuntarily appeared before his eyes.

"Alright, as you command, Sir."

He gritted his teeth and pulled out an ancient-looking amulet from his In arms:

"Sir, this is the magic equipment we used to conceal our traces before. I found it in a temple during an exploration of the ruins."

"It can completely hide one's tracks without affecting movement. As long as one doesn't actively cause a disturbance, it won't reveal one's whereabouts or aura."

"I once tested it, and even in front of a Peak Saint, as long as one is careful, they won't be discovered. As for anything stronger... I don't know, Sir."

At this moment, Ryan spoke with a bleeding heart, while respectfully handing the amulet to Wang Chen.

This amulet, if taken out today, would have a new owner!

"Oh?"

"This thing is so powerful?"

Wang Chen didn't care what Ryan was thinking, and with a wave of his hand, he directly took the amulet.

"Everything I said is true, all of it personally tested by me."

Ryan's gaze reluctantly left the amulet, and he said with a somewhat pained tone.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen looked at the ancient amulet in his hand and immediately became interested.

He wanted to see what Rank of equipment this thing was.

Without hesitation, he directly took out an appraisal scroll from his spatial ring.

Buzz buzz buzz!!

A wondrous power immediately enveloped the ancient amulet. The next second, the amulet felt even more ethereal.

At the same time, a piece of information appeared before Wang Chen's eyes.

Equipment: Shadow Amulet.

Type: Accessory.

Grade: Diamond.

Rank Limit: One hundred and thirty.

Attributes: Wisdom +500, Agility +500.

Enchantment Effect: One: Summon Servant. After inputting magic power, the user can summon a creature from the Shadow World to fight for them. The strength of the summoned Shadow Creature is directly proportional to the user's Wisdom attribute. The summoned creature lasts for thirty minutes. (Once per day)

Two: Shadow Walk: Activate the shadow aura on the amulet to envelop oneself, completely concealing one's aura and traces, and temporarily gaining the special Physique of a Shadow Creature, allowing one to walk within shadows. During the effect's duration, beings whose Wisdom attribute does not exceed the user's by five thousand points cannot actively detect the user's traces. Each use lasts for one hour. If an attack is actively launched within the duration, the shadow stealth state is exited.

...

"This..."

After reading the attributes of this equipment, a hint of surprise appeared on Wang Chen's face.

He never expected that the equipment Ryan took out would actually reach Diamond Rank.

Moreover, it was a very popular type of Diamond Rank equipment that could hide one's traces.

If this piece of equipment were to be taken out, even Nine Revolution Wang-level experts of the assassin Awakener would probably be envious.

Summoning Shadow Creatures and hiding traces, these two effects were insignificant to Wang-level experts of the assassin Awakener, but the temporary gain of the Shadow Creature's special Physique was simply too important.

In Ryan's hands, this effect merely allowed him to traverse through shadows, but in the hands of a Wang-level expert of the assassin Awakener, it could directly allow them to enter the Shadow World for perfect concealment.

After all, if a person ran into the Shadow World, enemies in the main world probably wouldn't even dream of where the danger would come from.

Although this equipment wouldn't unleash such terrifying effects in Wang Chen's hands, it could still provide him with great assistance at present.

Firstly, the first enchantment effect, summoning creatures from the Shadow World. With his current Wisdom attribute, the summoned Shadow Creatures' strength could be roughly equivalent to that of a high-Rank Seven-Turn Professional.

Whether used for combat, scouting, or as cannon fodder, it could play a significant role.

And the second enchantment effect was even more useful to Wang Chen.

After all, his current Wisdom attribute had already surpassed ten thousand, comparable to the main combat attribute of a top-tier magic-based Seven-Turn Professional.

To go another five thousand points higher, only Eight-Turn magic-based Awakeners, or other Eight-Turn Professionals above Rank two hundred and forty, could achieve it.

And this was for Awakeners. For wild monsters and demonic beasts, whose Wisdom attribute lagged far behind their own strength, as long as Wang Chen didn't court death, even wild monsters and demonic beasts at Rank two hundred and sixty or seventy, capable of contending with Wang-level experts, might not be able to discover him.

"This guy is hiding very deeply."

Putting away the Shadow Amulet, Wang Chen glanced at Ryan with a playful look.

He had originally intended to deal with Ryan after he led the way, having forced out clues about the Divine Artifact.

But now, he had an unexpected gain, which made him a bit reluctant to act.

"Sigh!"

"I'm just too kind. Since this guy took out this item, it's not good for me to immediately turn hostile. It's better to let wild monsters and demonic beasts do the deed; I'll help avenge him then."

Musing to himself, Wang Chen looked at Ryan, who was becoming increasingly flustered under his gaze, and a benevolent smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go, let's take a look inside!"
