The Death List Novel - Chapter 104

Chapter 104 Old Acquaintance
The two severely injured and dying Illusory Demons in front of him were of a type that Qin Lun had never seen before. This type of Illusory Demon was very similar to an octopus. It had a large, oval head and eight tentacles with suckers underneath its body.

One of the two Illusory Demons had a big hole in its head, and dark green blood flowed from its wounds. Almost all of the other tentacles had been torn off with brute force, and it looked extremely miserable.

Qin Lun only took a few glances and immediately retracted his head. The doctor sat cross-legged on the ground, even his breathing weakened, lowering his vital signs as much as possible, as if he were a stone statue.

From the looks of it, these two octopus illusions were obviously guards specially deployed in this maze of skeletons. The labyrinth’s corridor space was narrow, and there were many trapped Illusory Devils. There was no need for light saber feet, nor for flexible Illusory Devils like Three Eyes, nor for gigantic Illusory Devils like Fuyue and Chillusom.

This kind of octopus had eight flexible tentacles, allowing it to display its combat strength in such a narrow space. Although they moved a little slowly, they were more familiar with the terrain than the enemy. They could completely surround and block the enemy’s escape routes.

To deal with this combination of octopus illusions and trap illusions, one’s combat strength must be at least two levels higher than that of a defender.

The first time Qin Lun saw the Octopus Illusory Demon, he knew that he couldn’t deal with it. Adding on the fact that he hadn’t encountered any other “beehives” along the way, the doctor had already understood that someone had passed through this tunnel before him and cleared away those Illusory Demon Traps.

Since the two octopuses are still alive, there is only one explanation …

Qin Lun held his breath as he heard the sounds of fighting in the distance. However, the fighting only lasted for less than a minute before it quieted down again.

At the same time, two figures suddenly appeared beside the two dying octopuses. One of them had dark skin and a sturdy body. He looked like a big black tower. The other ape had a beehive waist with a jade-like face and a handsome appearance that resembled Pan An’s reincarnation.

“Hmph, the Illusory Demons are attacking Paris. The defenses of the labyrinth around this base are indeed much weaker. If Boss wasn’t too cautious, our Windfiend wouldn’t have fallen behind by so much.” The black tower sounded like a flood of bells, sonorous and powerful.

“Pan Hu, Old Nature has his own thoughts. Let’s just do it!” The handsome young man frowned and suddenly raised his head to look at the corridor. “Let’s go, let’s hurry up!”

“Lou Ying, these two Illusory Demons belong to you, or to you” The Big Black Tower Pan Hu looked at the two dying Illusory Demons and rubbed his hands.

“It’s too late to deal with it. Let’s finish the task first!” Lou Ying said indifferently, “Don’t lose big because of small!”

“… Good, good! I’ll listen to you!” Pan Hu was slightly stunned, then he grinned and disappeared from the other end of the corridor with Lou Ying.

Their voices were clear to the ears. However, as they left, sweat slowly oozed out of Qin Lun’s forehead. His breathing became weaker by three minutes. His eyes, nose, and heart almost stopped beating.

“Hu!” Ten minutes later, a gentle breeze blew across the corridor that was just around the corner from Qin Lun. Lou Ying and Pan Hu reappeared next to the two octopuses.

“Xiaobai, are you mistaken?” Pan Hu said suspiciously.

“Perhaps! The smell of blood here is too strong. I’m not sure.” Lou Ying rubbed his nose and suddenly became furious, “Charcoal Head, who are you calling a pretty boy?”

“Haha, aren’t you white enough?” Big Black Tower Pan Hu laughed and teased.

“Forget it, I won’t argue with you. I’ll get even with you after this mission ends!” Lou Ying’s fair face flushed red as he struggled to take a deep breath. “Hurry up and deal with these two Illusory Devils. Let’s move on to the next scene!”

“Tsk, I’m still afraid of you!” Pan Hu shrugged his shoulders and turned around, muttering in a low voice.

The two dying Octopus Illusory Demons finally turned into two piles of ashes. Lou Ying and Pan Hu left once again.

After waiting for another twenty minutes, Qin Lun was more or less certain that the two of them would not turn around again. Only then did he slowly stand up and walk out of the corner. He searched the two piles of ashes and found that the two Illusory Octopus Beads had been taken away.

The doctor did not leave immediately. He carefully searched the corridor and found that after a fork in the corridor, his eyes lit up and he ran in a certain direction.

After turning around several corridors and arriving at a dead end, Qin Lun finally revealed a smile. When he entered the maze, an identical teleportation portal appeared in front of him.

Qin Lun took out the space-time energy collector from his storage space and threw it into the space-time vortex. He waited quietly.

Actually, when he met Lou Ying and Pan Hu, he knew that they were either apostles or reincarnations. In any case, they couldn’t be ghost warriors of the Illusory Demon World. Although the Illusory Demon would not leave behind corpses after its death, the ashes would not disappear. As long as one observed carefully, they would immediately be able to find the spatial and temporal nodes where Lou Ying and Pan Hu entered the maze.

If the two of them were Samsara and not Apostles, Qin Lun guessed that they wouldn’t destroy the node of time and space, so they would naturally take advantage of him in vain.

However, judging from their reactions, they were very strong and almost discovered Qin Lun’s existence. The situation just now was extremely dangerous. If the doctor had turned around and escaped, the two of them would probably have noticed it long ago.

Fortunately, the two of them thought highly of themselves and didn’t personally come over to look for them, except for using their perception. On the other hand, Qin Lun, whose entire body was covered in the flesh and blood of the Illusory Demon, was able to survive this calamity.

[Apostle 70053, you have already collected two inferior cores of time and space. The total progress of this mission is 9/100, and Apostle 70053’s contribution rate is 2/9. Destroy the two nodes of the Bone Maze and obtain 0.024% of the world exploration rate. The connection between the base and modern Paris has not been severed. The conditions for upgrading the mission evaluation have not been met and there are no additional rewards.]

Qin Lun put away the space-time energy collector satisfactorily. A few minutes later, he returned to the fork where he had met the two reincarnations earlier.

Thinking back to the conversation between the two Samsara cultivators, Qin Lun frowned slightly and glanced in the direction the two of them had left. After a long while, he sighed regretfully. These two people were too strong, and following behind them was no different from walking a tightrope.

Risks were not proportional to benefits. No matter how curious one was, they could not do such a thing as courting death!

After thinking it through, Qin Lun turned around and ran in the opposite direction. However, what surprised him was that the original Hornet Illusion Demon did not appear in this direction.

Qin Lun slowed down and became vigilant after turning around the two corridors. Someone seemed to have cleared the Illusory Demon Trap in this direction.

Finally, after bypassing another passageway, Qin Lun discovered a lonely Illusory Demon at this fork in the road. However, when he saw this Illusory Demon, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.

This Illusory Demon was different from ordinary Illusory Demons. Although its arms had transformed into sickles, and its skin had also shown a dry dark brown color, its head was no different from a human’s. From its staggering pace, it was easy to tell that it had just turned into an illusion.

Most importantly, Qin Lun recognized the Illusory Demon. It wore a striking sanitation suit. It was one of the newbies who entered the Illusory Demon World with Qin Lun, the middle-aged man in the sanitation suit.

Qin Lun raised his eyebrows. Actually, of the three rookies who had left with Matthew and the other veterans, he was the most optimistic about this middle-aged man. He didn’t expect that he would die here first.

“Ao!” Seeing the doctor walk out of his hiding place, the middle-aged man turned into a knife-roach illusionary demon and rushed towards him with a roar. However, his ankle seemed to have been injured, and not only was his movements slow, but he even staggered a little.

Qin Lun did not immediately kill it. Instead, he circled around it and carefully observed the wounds on its body. After the Illusory Demon was killed, it would turn into ashes, and some clues on its body would no longer be seen.

Qin Lun sighed slightly. “The fatal wound is in the chest and the leg …” As a medical master and dissecter, he could deduce the murder weapon from the wound.

The middle-aged man had a bowl-shaped erosive wound on his chest, reminding him of the octopus phantom with a round sucker on his tentacle. However, the wound on the Illusory Demon’s ankle was different. There was only a crack that was like a baby’s mouth.

The wound was on the heel and hurt a tendon. However, the wound was very shallow and he was unable to completely cut his tendons. Clearly, the one who attacked was not an Illusory Demon, but a murderer with very little strength. It immediately reminded Qin Lun of the seductively dressed young girl among the rookies of the Samsara Reincarnation Reincarnation Reincarnation Reincarnation Reincarnation Reincarnation.

The doctor was able to imagine the scene at that time. Matthew and the others had entered the maze and encountered octopus illusions here. Perhaps because they were outnumbered, this group of people fought and retreated, while the girl with the weakest stamina fell to the end, perhaps she was even knocked to the ground by the Octopus Illusory Demon.

At this time, the middle-aged man probably couldn’t bear to abandon his companions and turn around to save them. As a result, the girl who had fallen to the ground betrayed him, giving him a knife to the ankle, using him to stall the octopus illusionary demon, thus escaping from the Heavens.

“Since you abandoned Lisa and her daughter for your younger son, why can’t you persevere to the end?” Qin Lun smiled calmly and raised the FN-500 towards the Blade Roach Illusory Demon.

The Saber Roach Illusory Demon’s Illusory Demon Pearl only had three souls left. It seemed that these human-transformed Illusory Demons were weaker than the lowest level of saber feet, or perhaps they did not have enough time to complete the transformation.

Knowing that Matthew and the others were in front of him, Qin Lun felt relieved and began to search for the spatial and temporal nodes where Matthew and the others had entered.

This time, he didn’t waste much time either. Soon, he found a third spacetime node in another corridor of the maze.

However, the three forks in the corridor here were different from the ones in front of them, and the space was much more spacious. There was a dark deep hole on the left. The hole emitted a strong smell of blood and rotten stench. There was also a dead end on the right, with a dark red bronze door at the end.

This was the first time Qin Lun had seen something that wasn’t made of flesh and bones in the maze.
