The Death List Novel - Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Betrayal
Hearing Matthew’s call, the Japanese girl hesitated for a few seconds and immediately complied. Junko was not an idiot to be able to survive the rookie stage. Unlike Joe, who claimed half of the credit, she understood that the three of them had come to this stage mostly because of Matthew’s plot. Joe could only execute it better.

Most importantly, Junko’s soul imprint had already received a notification of the completion of the hidden plot. Before using the Illusory Demon Pearl, Matthew handed over the hidden storyline quest. Apart from Joel, who was kicked out of the team, she and Matthew had also completed the hidden storyline quest.

However, if the Illusory Demon Pearl was fused into Matthew’s Law Body, the reputation of the camp that could be exchanged in the future would definitely be gone. To be able to complete this huge reward for concealing the plot, the Japanese girl was already very satisfied. She was not as greedy as Joe.

In Junko’s opinion, intercepting Joe was within her capabilities, and Joe’s performance was truly disgusting. Since Matthew still regarded her as his companion, he should naturally cooperate with him in killing Joel. As for whether or not Matthew would share her harvest in the future, the Japanese girl did not ask for anything extravagant. She only hoped that the loyalty she had shown now would allow her to remain in this temporary team.

The battle between beginner Samsara cultivators had yet to break away from the realm of ordinary martial artists. Joyce’s weapon was a butterfly saber. Judging from his proficient saber techniques, he was probably a good saber master before becoming a Samsara cultivator. The Japanese girl was empty-handed, but her movements were agile and nimble. She seemed to have some attainments in both karate and judo.

“Junko, don’t you understand? Matthew is just using us. He won’t always be our teammate. Sooner or later, he will abandon us, just like kicking away a useless dog.”

The veins on Joyce’s neck twitched, and he was a little anxious. Junzi was very careful, and he had been galloping all this time, not fighting him close at all. He couldn’t get rid of the entanglement if he couldn’t deal a heavy blow to the Japanese girl.

“I’m not as greedy as you. Matthew planned the entire operation. Even if he takes the lead, I don’t have any objections.” Junko rolled his eyes and said coldly, “Without Matthew’s strategy, we wouldn’t even be able to enter the Temple of the Seas. We probably can only struggle to survive in Paris like the newbies.”

“So what! Junko, you’re too naive. In the superstring space, there’s no one else we can rely on but ourselves.” ‘”As long as we’re strong enough, we can join an old team like the Wind Fiend Group. There’s no need to follow Matthew …” Joe said fiercely.

“Join an old team. Is this your new plan?” A deep voice came from behind Joe.

“What … Matthew?” Joyce turned around like a whirlwind, and after seeing what was behind him, his pupils couldn’t help but shrink.

Under the bright lights of the pier square, a two-meter-tall monster quietly stood not far behind Joe. The monster had a pig head and a white mane. Its arms were muscular, and its fingers were thick and short. Its fingernails were black and yellow like a harrow. Two sharp fangs protruded out of his lips, exposing them.

“Matthew? You’ve completed the bloodline conversion!” Junko blinked his eyes and sized up the humanoid monster. He asked softly, “Your current image isn’t that good!”

“Yeah, I know. I didn’t expect that bloodline potion to be mixed with wild boar genes!” Matthew touched the pig’s face, grinned, and clenched his fists fiercely. “But it feels good to have strength!”

“Originally, I thought it would take at least 10 minutes, but Gaduludo’s Illusory Demon Pearl accelerated this change!” Matthew waved his body, his arms blocking his path as he crashed into Joyce like a bull. “Junko, now you can step back and let me deal with this traitor!”

Matthew’s collision speed wasn’t very fast, but Joyce felt that his body was trapped in place by an aura that prevented him from dodging for a moment.

“Bang!” Just two meters away from Joyce, Matthew suddenly bent down and threw himself on all fours, using his head to ruthlessly press against Joyce’s abdomen. He raised his head again and used his long fangs to lift the enemy’s lower crotch, sending him flying.

“I hate this bloodline skill!” After sending his opponent flying, Matthew stood up and muttered.

Many low-grade bloodlines would leave behind genetic instincts in their genes, that is, bloodline-based skills. Matthew’s “Boar Charge” just now belonged to this category. When this skill was activated, it could restrain and delay the opponent’s evasive reaction within a certain range. It was a very good control attack skill. The only drawback was that its movements were too ugly.

“Pu!” Joel felt the world spin, and his spine seemed to be in so much pain that it was about to break that he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Looking at Matthew who was walking towards him again, Joyce struggled a few times, but he still couldn’t stand up. He couldn’t feel anything below his buttocks anymore. It looked like his spine had suffered serious injuries, and he couldn’t help but reveal a look of despair.

“Boss Matthew, you win. The Dark Gold Equipment is yours. Let me go!” Joe gasped for breath and fell to the ground as if he had accepted his fate.

“Haha!” A cold smile appeared on Matthew’s pig face as he lifted Joel up from the ground with one hand.

“Bang!” Matthew punched at Joel’s abdomen again. “How can I let you go now?”

“Hehe, how is my life worth a Dark Gold equipment? Boss Matthew is so smart, he will definitely have the right choice!” Joe said with a strange smile as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

“My current choice is the right one!”

“Kacha!” Matthew smiled sinisterly and twisted Joyce’s neck. He looked into his eyes and said, “We’ve already used up all our recovery items. You only have four pieces of Samsara equipment, including the new Dark Gold. The Bloody Magic Cube can extract two or three times. If I can’t get the Dark Gold equipment, then I’ll be unlucky!”

Yoshida Junko watched quietly from the side. Suddenly, the corner of his eyes was shaken by a strong light, and he subconsciously turned to look at the other end of the battlefield. There was only a pile of scattered sandbags and scrap wooden boxes in that corner. The Japanese girl mocked herself and was about to turn around when her pupils shrank when she saw that there seemed to be some words carved on a wooden box …

Matthew threw away Joyce’s corpse and took away the Bloody Magic Cube that was floating in the air.

“Junko, we … Eh, Junko?” Matthew turned around and noticed that the Japanese girl wasn’t waiting for him. He didn’t know where she had gone, so he frowned slightly.

“Matthew, I’m here!” Just as Matthew was puzzled, Junko Yoshida leaned on the ship’s side and poked her head out of the remaining Illusory Demon Warship at the pier square. “I think we should search for this abandoned Illusory Demon Warship and perhaps get some harvest!” She waved at him.

“Alright!” Matthew smiled and quickly ran towards the warship, but he didn’t have much expectation in his heart. Based on his judgement, this ship might not have any harvest. However, there was still plenty of time now, so there was no harm in searching for it.

“Joe is dead. You should accept the bloodline change. This is too ugly!” Junko waved his hand and a smile appeared on his icy face.

“Haha, I still need to adapt to my new body. I’m not a woman, what kind of beautiful image do I need!” Matthew shook his head with a smile.

“Then it’s up to you! However, don’t get too close to me like this. I’ll go search the bow of the ship, and you go to the stern!” Junko jokingly said, but as soon as he turned around, he restrained his smile. A trace of solemnity appeared on his face, and his fingernails dug out a trace of blood from his palm.

“Junko, I’ve finished searching. There’s nothing good. How’s your side?” Matthew’s voice rang out from outside the boat.

“He finished searching in less than two minutes?” Junko threw down the lid of the wooden box in his hand and was absent-minded for a moment. Then, he seemed to recall something. Suddenly, he shouted, “Matthew, wait a moment, I’ll be right back!”

“Junko, hurry up and come out. We don’t have much time left. If we don’t leave the Underwater Temple, it will be dangerous.” Matthew stood outside the boat, touching the slowly disappearing mane on his arm, and shouted anxiously.

“I’m coming!” This time, Junko didn’t waste any more time. He quickly walked out of the cabin and jumped off the side of the ship. He staggered on the ground and almost fell on his horse.

“Haha, you’re really clumsy!” Matthew stretched out his hand and pulled the Japanese girl up. Looking at her pale complexion, he teased, “Your complexion is a little ugly, is it alright?”

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s go. Let’s get out of here!” Junko took a deep breath and quickly walked towards the exit corridor of the pier square.

“Alright!” Matthew agreed and followed behind Junko. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. He gently raised his hand and thrust it into the back of the Japanese girl’s neck. His sharp fingernails looked exceptionally terrifying under the light.

Junko, who was walking in front of him, suddenly lowered his body and rolled on the ground like a prophet, dodging the blow Matthew was determined to obtain. After standing up, Junko did not turn around and quickly ran towards the edge of the square in a Z-shape. It wasn’t until he ran into the pile of wooden boxes that he stopped and turned to look at Matthew who was chasing after him.

“Why?” The Japanese girl asked with a wretched smile.

Matthew remained silent as he continued to pounce on her with a gloomy face. Junko gritted his teeth and circled around the wooden box, not fighting Matthew at all.

Matthew didn’t catch up for a while, but his face immediately showed anger. He shouted at Junko, “You can’t escape. Kill me to end this. Come on, fight bravely!”

“Are you willing to talk now?” Junko said coldly, “Is the time for bloodline transformation coming to an end?”

Matthew’s entire body trembled. He narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously, “You know?”

“Someone told me that a smart person like you, with a 100% chance of obtaining dark gold equipment, would never gamble on the Bloody Magic Cube for enmity, unless killing Qiao Te would bring about greater benefits.” Junko said expressionlessly.

“He also told me that if you don’t remove your bloodline transformation after killing Joyce, there’s a 90% chance that you’ll attack me again, but I can’t believe it …” Junko’s cold face lost its composure for the first time and he shouted excitedly, “Tell me why?”

“Someone told you” Matthew’s expression finally changed as he looked around nervously.
