The Death List Novel - Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Hunter
After Black Bear BEN returned to the summoning space, the changes on his body finally stopped. However, instead, Qin Lun’s energy was slowly decreasing.

“Judging from the rate at which my energy is decreasing, the Silvermycin and Self-healing Crystal on my body can only last for about 32 hours. If I lose the World Tree Dew, I can only last for three days.” Qin Lun calculated the medicine on his body and frowned slightly.

Silvermycin was fine. The price of self-healing crystals was high, and the World Tree Dew was a special treasure of the Fairy Race. It was too wasteful to use it to recover energy.

“If there’s no need, we’ll have to return to the Broken Star Sky by tomorrow night!” Qin Lun sighed and set a 32-hour countdown on the death list.

He glanced at the death list and saw that the description in the Summoning Beasts column had already turned into “Rotten Bear BEN”.

“Fortunately, it wasn’t used on me!” Qin Lun grinned. This Illusory Demon Gene Potion was extremely powerful. It could work on summoned creatures. To put it bluntly, it could change the laws of the body.

Obviously, if he used it on his own body, it would also be effective. However, judging from the changes in the Black Bear’s BEN, this potion could increase one’s physical fitness in a short period of time. However, the side effects were also very great. Not only would it cause one to lose control of their consciousness, it would also cause the collapse of their Law Body.

However, Qin Lun did not want to give up Black Bear BEN. This was not because he was reluctant to part with this summoning object, but because he did not want to lose this research material.

He had already predicted that this gene drug would have a huge flaw, so he didn’t want to take any chances. He just wanted to use the summoned creature to bring the potion out of the Illusory Demon World and return to the shattered starry sky before proceeding with his next research.

Even low-grade bloodline potions were expensive in the exchange list of the Shattered Universe. All of them were worth at least tens of thousands of broken crystals, and they were accompanied by a bronze mission evaluation card. If he only used a low-level summoned creature and a few thousand broken crystals to recover items, he would be able to obtain a semi-finished product of a bloodline item. How could he be considered to be at a disadvantage?

Regardless of whether Qin Lun could obtain bloodline items or not, even if he only refined half-finished bloodline potions from the black bear’s body, it wouldn’t be a problem to sell them for twenty to thirty thousand broken crystals.

In fact, if Qin Lun didn’t need the black bear to probe the other end of the teleportation staircase, he wouldn’t have the virtual currency to revive the black bear. He could even do the experiment when he returned. This was the difference between a smart person and an ordinary person. Matthew and the others couldn’t think around this curve and couldn’t realize the potential value of the potion.

Although they were considered veterans, since they were assigned to a rookie team, their strength was limited. A bloodline potion was definitely not an existence that could be given up casually. Moreover, when they were in this room, there might be more than one gene potion.

It was true that they didn’t have any summoned items, but they could still trade with other Samsara cultivators at some risk. If he was more ruthless, he could use it on himself when he returned. Even if he couldn’t obtain his bloodline, it would be better to spend some money to expel the genetic medicine in his body.

This kind of business, where the benefits were far greater than the risks, did not dare to bet. Sooner or later, they would die in the mission world because their strength had risen too slowly.

Qin Lun’s mind was full of thoughts, but he didn’t stop there and walked along this talisman stone tunnel. However, now that he didn’t have the black bear to explore the path, his speed was very slow. He was practically walking a few steps, observing it just in case there were some trap mechanisms in the corridor.

The slow speed made Qin Lun a little irritated, and he felt helpless in his heart. He did not like this kind of archaeological adventure. If one’s own strength reached the point of ignoring the trap mechanism, one must possess profound archaeological knowledge and rich adventure experience. On the contrary, one’s high IQ could only play a supplementary role.

After dawdling to the end of the corridor, a spacious hall appeared in front of Qin Lun. The hall was supported by eight enormous stone pillars. There were many strange and ferocious beast-shaped creatures carved on the stone pillars. Some of the creatures were even a little like the large magical creatures that appeared in Paris City. If not for the stone pillars that were still propped up against the ceiling of the hall, they would be more like eight totems.

At the bottom of the hall, there was a three-person tall stone door. In the middle of the stone door was a circular relief carved with the pattern of a lion and tiger fighting. Above the jump floor of the hall was an unfenced corridor. It looked like a circle of floating stone slabs protruding from the stone wall.

This circular corridor was partially filled with gaps. It was estimated that it had collapsed. Judging from the traces of the gaps, they were not newly created. There was also a stone door in the middle of the corridor on the right, but it was much smaller than the stone door in the basement, and it was half-open.

At this moment, Qin Lun was standing on a stone slab in the circular corridor. He had two choices. One was the half-open stone door to the corridor on the second floor, and the other was to jump down the hall and push open the huge stone door with the Lion Tiger Relief.

Qin Lun didn’t hesitate to make this choice and immediately walked towards the half-open stone door.

Although from the scene in front of him, it seemed that the stone door of the underground hall would lead to an even more important area. However, he did not know if there would be a trap on the ground floor, and whether the stone door could be pushed open was also very problematic. The little stone door above was already half-open, so he could at least observe the situation inside first.

Qin Lun carefully looked inside the stone door from all angles. After a while, he stepped into the half-open stone door.

Inside the stone door was an aisle. On the opposite side were two stone doors of the same style. On each side was a narrow corridor that was close to the stone door, and in the middle was a huge pit that was more than ten meters deep and five meters wide. The whole shape resembles a flat “mouth”. In the middle of the “mouth” stood a small platform that was as big as a chessboard. It was probably used as a stepping stone.

Judging from the grooves slightly below the chessboard table, there should have been stone slabs connecting to the chessboard, forming a small stone bridge that passed through the deep pit.

Qin Lun poked his head out and looked at the deep pit in front of him. He saw a layer of bones at the bottom of the pit, connecting it to the dense holes in the stone wall. It immediately reminded him of arrows, venom, and other mechanisms.

“Have you seen enough? Cough cough!” Suddenly, an angry voice came from beside Qin Lun.

Hearing this, Qin Lun glanced at Yoshida Junko, who was sitting beside the stone door. Just now, he saw this Japanese girl outside the stone door.

Seeing Qin Lun’s indifferent gaze, a complicated expression flashed across Junko’s face. She had already recognized the young man in front of her. She had a good memory, and they had only been separated for less than two days, so she didn’t forget Qin Lun completely.

Qin Lun rubbed his chin and took out his only healing bandage from his bosom. He looked at Yoshida Junzi with a burning gaze. Junko Yoshida’s injuries were easy to see. Her palm pressed against her abdomen, and blood oozed out from her fingers, almost dyeing the floor red.

It was obvious that the wound on her abdomen was very large. She might have already cut her entire belly open, causing a trauma that was difficult for her body to heal itself. Judging from her pale face, it was estimated that she had used quite a few recovery items to last until now.

“You and your companions actually didn’t carry any trauma ointment?” Qin Lun asked curiously.

“We’ve run out. We’ve already fought several battles before we entered this base!” After a moment of silence, Junko said awkwardly, “No one expected the original main mission to change to this!”

Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slightly. Junko revealed a lot of information in his words. It seemed that after the three veterans entered the Illusory Demon Base, the main plot had changed. As a result, the three of them had no choice but to take risks and participate in some difficult missions.

“Cough cough, since you are also a veteran, why don’t you explain it directly?” Junko looked at Qin Lun sadly. “Tell me, how much credit does this bandage need?”

“Two conditions! First, show your equipment and let me choose one. Second, let me see your current mission list!” Qin Lun smiled and made his request.

“Equipment? Impossible! This bandage is only 3,000 credits at most. Even if it doubles in price, it won’t be able to compare to any equipment I have on me!” A flush appeared on Junko’s pale face as he shouted angrily, “This kind of extortion is too much. I can only endure it for a while longer. When Matthew and Joel complete their mission, I will be able to directly return.”

“With your current situation, I’m afraid you won’t be able to wait for them to complete their mission!” Qin Lun smiled strangely. “This bandage is not worth a piece of equipment. However, your life is definitely more than one piece of equipment! It’s up to you, I don’t care.”

“You” Chunzi’s expression was uncertain. Suddenly, his pupils constricted and he thought of another question, “Why are you still looking at my quest list? Could it be that your quest is similar to ours … Are you also a hunter?”

A panicked expression suddenly appeared on the Japanese girl’s face as she looked at Qin Lun with some fear.

Hunter? Qin Lun frowned slightly and thought for a moment. “It doesn’t matter whether I’m a hunter or not. Since I’m on the same team as you, I won’t kill you!” He asked cautiously.

“I can’t believe you unless you sign a deal with me and promise not to kill me after the deal!” Junko looked at Qin Lun without blinking, trying to see some flaws in the young man’s face.

Qin Lun rubbed his forehead. Sure enough, Japanese girls were much harder to fool than those newbies. As an apostle, it was impossible for him to sign a contract with a Samsara. Otherwise, his identity would be exposed.

“A hunter cannot sign a contract with his prey to ensure his life, nor can he hunt the prey of the same team!” Qin Lun’s gaze flickered as he tried his best to control the lies within the information he had. “If I wanted to kill you, I would have already done it. Why waste a bandage? After killing you, I would also be able to obtain a Bloody Magic Cube.”

Junzi’s expression gradually calmed down. His gaze swayed between Qin Lun and the bandage, silent and somewhat indecisive.

“Hurry up, I can’t waste too much time on you!” Qin Lun knew from the Japanese girl’s face that she had already believed it. He couldn’t help but urge her with a smile in his heart.

“Alright, I agree to the deal! However, if I give you the equipment, it will have a great impact on my strength.” Junko gritted his teeth and reluctantly displayed an item, “I’ll trade this with you. Of course, you have to add something. Otherwise, I’d rather wait here for death!”
