The Death List Novel - Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Guardian
“You solved the mystery of the Crystal Lake?” Qin Lun frowned and said hesitantly, “However, we did not receive the prompt to shatter the starry sky!”

“No, it’s not that kind of unraveling. It’s that I’ve discovered the core of this mission!” Hill’s tone was filled with joy. Although his discovery was a bit coincidental, he was still very happy to be one step ahead of Qin Lun. “Qin Lun, do you remember our previous speculation about the Middle Demon World?”

“Of course!” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows.

When he first entered the Nars world, Qin Lun discovered that there were no traces of magic in this world, and it did not conform to the description of the world in the Weave Popularization Stage. Based on this, he had a discussion with Hill and Hansen.

Qin Lun believed that the Nars world should be a two-dimensional space-time, just like the two sides of a mirror. One side was the world of material science and technology, the other side was the world of magic. Of course, there are some unexplainable difficulties with this view.

The biggest difficulty was that the transformation of the two planar worlds was too difficult. Even third-grade high-level apostles rarely had plane shuttle abilities. It was unlikely that the shattered starry sky would allow them to enter such a Middle Demon World.

As a result, the three of them revised their viewpoints in the discussion, believing that there should be a space-time node similar to the Illusory Demon World in the Narse World, allowing the characters or apostles to interact between the two worlds.

However, unlike the Illusory Demon World, the other end of the spacetime node should be connected to at least one continent, not a small territory like the Underwater Divine Palace. Only in this way would it be worthy of the Middle Demon World, where magic nets were popular.

It was like an hourglass of varying sizes. There was a space at each end, and a small passage connected to the center of the hourglass. Of course, it could also be connected to many small tunnels.

“You found a spacetime node in the campsite?” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. Hill only reminded him a little, and he immediately remembered the connection.

“Haha, talking to smart people is fun. That idiot Hansen’s reaction is much slower than yours!” Hill laughed.

“Hey, I’m still listening!” Hansen interrupted the channel dejectedly.

“Haha, Hill, what happened just now? Where are you now?” Qin Lun asked cautiously.

“I was attacked behind the house with that centaur just now. I was dragged underground by the troll and didn’t have time to inform you!” Hill said awkwardly.

“Hmph, you want to eat alone!” Qin Lun said unhappily, “After all, the Guidance Mission is a sergeant major difficulty. Do you want to deal with Giant Demon Fink alone?”

“Hehe, if it was you, you would do the same!” Since Qin Lun had broken it, Hill simply admitted it.

“So you killed Troll Fink?” Qin Lun asked in surprise. Judging from Troll Fink’s corpse, it was almost as tough as diamonds. It was hard to imagine that Hill’s combat strength had reached this level.

“No, I didn’t kill it. The two of us are equally matched. It can’t do anything to me. I can’t hurt it either. That thing’s body is too hard!” Hill shook his head and said, “It was killed by the monster in the Crystal Lake.”

“The monster in the crystal lake?” Qin Lun asked doubtfully.

“Yes, we only met once underground. The troll seemed to have sensed danger and quickly escaped.” Hill muttered, “I searched the underground passageway for a while. When I climbed out of the ground, I discovered that I had always been under the clearing in front of the wooden house. Then, I saw the monster in the crystal lake …”

“What is that?” Qin Lun immediately asked.

“I don’t know. At that time, there was already a fog. I could only see a rough outline!” Hill said hesitantly, “He’s holding an axe or something in his hand. He’s tall and he walks upright like a … human.”

“Have you ever fought it?” Qin Lun asked with great interest.

“No, that thing feels too dangerous to me.” Hill smiled bitterly and said, “I immediately hid in a secret tunnel and didn’t dare to fight it. I sent a message to warn you to be careful and never fight it alone!”

“En, where are you now? We’ll meet you right away!” Qin Lun curled his lips. When the old fox saw the bargain, he ate alone. When he felt danger, he came to inform them.

“Hehe, I was in the water before, but now, I’m in the underground tunnel not far in front of you!” Hill laughed strangely, “Seeing that monster walk up from the lake, I suddenly had an idea!”

“Oh, shouldn’t it be … that the spacetime node is underwater?” A bolt of lightning flashed through Qin Lun’s mind.

“Haha, you’ve finally thought of it!” Hill clapped his hands and laughed, “That’s right, the spacetime node is underwater. I’ve already found it. However, I haven’t touched it yet.”

“That’s why!” After receiving Hill’s confirmation, Qin Lun immediately understood most of the joints.

Since his understanding of the Nars world was correct, this world was indeed one and two sides, and there were two different planes. Then I believe that there are quite a few spacetime nodes connected by these two planes.

Qin Lun’s elven bloodline was suitable for moving in the forest, and Hansen’s jungle warfare experience was also very rich. The Sas were aquatic humans, and Hill had water elemental bloodlines. The guidance mission that the Broken Star Sky had arranged for their small team, the ‘Crystal Lake Mystery’, was entirely done according to their size.

However, Qin Lun had just been misled by the killing of the John couple and had focused his attention on the monster murderer. That was why he had ignored the fog prompt. There was nothing unusual about the Crystal Lake’s camping area. It wasn’t until the surface of the harbor of the Crystal Lake became misty that supernatural phenomena appeared in this area.

If they could divert their attention from the monsters and trolls, it would be easy for them to notice the abnormality of the Crystal Lake. However, the spacetime node was also somewhat unbelievable at the bottom of the lake. Fortunately, this old fox, Hill, was lucky. Otherwise, they would probably have to waste a lot of time to think of this.

“Since we’ve found the spacetime node, why didn’t we prompt you to complete our boot mission?” Qin Lun suddenly frowned and asked Hill.

“Haha, this is the main point I want to remind you of now!” Hill said calmly, “The spacetime node is not the answer to the mystery of the Crystal Lake. Our guidance mission is not a simple team mission. Please take a look at my current mission description …”

Qin Lun scanned the guild channel and saw that Hill’s guidance mission, “The Mystery of the Crystal Lake”, had indeed undergone a major change. The original team-led mission, The Crystal Lake Mystery, was just an introduction to the tragedy of the Johns. The goal of the mission was to solve the mystery and find one of the three children, Karl, Sam and Lucy.

Now, however, the mission description has been changed to indicate that the mission progress is 25%. Locate the spacetime node at the bottom of the Crystal Lake. However, the goal of the mission to solve the mystery was still there. At the same time, there was an additional requirement to sacrifice through the spacetime node.

Qin Lun’s pupils narrowed when he saw the sacrifice contents of the spacetime node. This sacrifice was very simple, requiring intelligent creatures that passed through the spatial node to sacrifice 40% of their companions to the guardians of the spatial node of the Crystal Lake.

“Now you know why I’m avoiding you!” Hill’s gloomy voice came from the channel. “If you want to complete this guidance mission, you have to cooperate with the guardian monster of the Crystal Lake and kill the Sas and the female centaurs through the time and space node …”

“Kacha!” Just as Qin Lun was shocked, a soft sound came from behind him.

“Be careful!” Sass shouted out loudly. His enormous body that was more than 2.2 meters tall took two steps forward, bypassing Qin Lun and covering him behind him.

Dang! A deafening crash came from far away in the silent forest.

Sasru staggered backwards as if he had been heavily injured. Qin Lun’s reaction was quick, he threw himself forward and rolled away. When he stood up, he discovered that Sass had already formed a group with the attackers in the darkness.

The attacker was nearly two meters tall. Although Pisas was half a head shorter, his shoulders were wide and his body was half thicker. Standing there, he was like a city wall.

Just as Hill had said, he was a human with an iron mask on his face, revealing only a pair of ferocious blood-colored eyes. He wore a tattered windbreaker, leather pants and boots, and a large double-edged axe in his hands.

At the first glance at the Crystal Lake Guardian, Qin Lun felt his breathing freeze. The alarm in his mind rang out, as if he was facing a wild beast. Qin Lun’s eyes immediately flashed with a hint of blood, but he quickly suppressed it again.

“Help me!” Sass blushed and shouted loudly. Although the Guardian’s speed wasn’t fast, his strength was extremely strong. Sass had only blocked two strikes, but his footsteps were already empty and he staggered back repeatedly.

“Qin Lun, this is a good opportunity. Kill Sass and the remaining Cora will be easy to deal with!” Hansen’s eyes lit up as he bent down like a cheetah and pounced towards Sass. The machete in his hand quietly slashed towards his neck.

Team members cannot kill each other. Otherwise, 100 Longevity Soul Points will be deducted from the Shattered Universe. Hansen’s attack wasn’t meant to kill Sass. Sass was an MT, and his health was thick. Even if a vital injury like his neck was severely injured, he wouldn’t die on the spot. However, if Sass was struck by this saber, he would definitely not be able to hold on any longer. In the next moment, he would be hacked to death by the Guardian.

“Bang! Bang!” Qin Lun finally made his move, and the black and white spears that were buried in the darkness sprayed out flames. One of the bullets lit up a divine white light in the darkness, as if it had split the fog into two and hit the guardian’s right eye. It couldn’t help but raise its head, and a stream of blood flew into the air.

The other bullet was like a bolt of black lightning. With a “dang” sound, it landed on Hansen’s machete, causing it to tilt. It brushed against Sass’s shoulder and landed on the Guardian’s finger that was tightly gripping the axe.

Hansen’s pupils shrank as he turned around and stared at Qin Lun with a cold gaze.

“Help him! Trust me!” Qin Lun nodded at him and no longer explained.
