The Death List Novel - Chapter 194

Chapter 194 Underwater Passageway
Qin Lun fired both shots at the same time. It sounded like a shot. In addition, the attention of the others was attracted by the Guardian. Apart from Hansen and Qin Lun, even Sass did not notice that he had just walked back and forth in the Gate of Hell.

“I hope you have a good explanation!” Hansen’s lips twitched, he said a sign and immediately turned back to fight. The disciples did not like to argue, and on the battlefield he developed a good habit of talking after moving.

‘”Alec, Safa, Nalma” Kola’s mouth cursed as he raised his newly acquired Dark Gold Staff high up in the air.

This was a spell she had learned on Esmira. It was somewhat similar to Kieran’s Spiral Shooting Technique. Although this spell was not included in the official apostle skill, it was recognized by the Laws of Shattering the Universe and could be considered a reserve skill. As long as she increased her proficiency, she would become a regular apostle skill in the future.

After the procrastination of the incantation ended, a gentle yellow light shone from the parrot staff in Cora’s hand. The guardian in front of Sass and Hansen suddenly tilted his body, and his feet slowly sunk into a mud pit until they reached his knees.

Sass and Hansen’s eyes lit up as they pushed forward at the same time. Sass held his purple shield and tried his best to suppress the guardian, making it temporarily unable to move.

“Go to hell!” The machete in Hansen’s hand mercilessly stabbed into the guardian’s chest, and he viciously twisted it around, causing its body to crumble.

“Squeak!” Rotten black blood splashed all over Hansen’s face.

“How fucking stinky!” Hansen cursed, pulled out his machete, and slashed fiercely at the guardian’s throat, almost cutting its neck in half.

The guardian slowly fell to the ground, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

“Cora, are you alright?” Sass wiped his face and asked on the guild channel.

“I’m fine, but there’s something wrong here. I just used a mud spell and consumed most of my mana. Furthermore, the effect doesn’t seem to be very good!” Cora frowned and asked in puzzlement, “Isn’t this the Middle Demon World?”

“Have you finally noticed?” Hansen glanced at Qin Lun with a hint of mockery in his eyes. “I really don’t know why you saved this stupid couple!”

Although marsh spells weren’t of a high level, magic that could change the terrain required a lot of magic power. If the magic elements in the quest world were thin, then they would have to rely entirely on the apostle’s magic power. In all seriousness, it was even harder than individual magic such as lightning and magic shields.

“Sir Rowling, what is this?” Michelle asked as she held Cora’s arm in fear.

This scene just now frightened the centaur girl. She had seen many criminals before, but she had never felt this kind of pressure from a creature at the top of the food chain.

“I think that should be the creature that killed Mr. and Mrs. John and kidnapped three children!” Cora patted Michelle on the back of her hand and comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, we’ve already killed … Eh, what about that thing?”

Everyone was shocked. At the same time, they turned to look at the place where the Guardian had fallen to the ground. There was nothing but a mud pit on the ground. It seemed that there had never been a fierce battle.

“Run, run, run in the direction of the Crystal Lake!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he turned around and ran away. Under his influence, everyone could not help but quicken their pace and try their best to run towards the Crystal Lake.

“Kacha!” Behind them came the soft sound of a dead branch breaking.

The terrifying aura once again pressed down heavily on everyone’s hearts, causing them to involuntarily turn their heads and look back. The guardian had reappeared at some unknown time and stood with his axe in his hands. The fog around him seemed to have its own life, and it poured into the guardian’s wounds.

The guardian’s neck, which had been cut by Hansen, had recovered, not even a single scar on it. Even his broken finger and Qin Lun’s right eye, which had been shot blind, had returned to their original state.

The guardian’s scarlet eyes slowly rolled as he stared at the fleeing crowd. He stepped forward and chased after them in no hurry. The seemingly slow pace, however, was extraordinarily large. Often, the distance between his front foot and his back foot was more than ten meters, as if the entire earth had shrunk seven or eight times under his feet.

“This thing is simply an Undying Body!” Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, and they immediately quickened their pace and ran to the Crystal Lake with all their might.

“This thing doesn’t seem to be real. Perhaps it’s a ghost that died in the Crystal Lake.” Hill’s voice came from the guild channel again. “Qin Lun, your method won’t work. It’s better to cooperate with us to kill Sass and Cora and directly escape into the Spatial Node!”

“En, Qin Lun, when did you procrastinate so much? Don’t tell me, it’s because Sass saved you just now that you started to have compassion!” Hansen said in a deep voice.

“No, fellows, I’m not sympathetic to the Sars. I know that this thing can’t be killed. My plan was not to kill it!” Qin Lun said hurriedly, “It’s too late to explain now. Trust me! If I screw up this time, it’s all mine. I’ll give up the reward for this mission and the proceeds from killing the Sas will all belong to you.”

“Hansen, what do you think?” Hill was silent for a moment before he spoke again.

“He’s already said that, what else can I say! I hope you don’t lift a rock and smash yourself in the foot!” Hansen glanced coldly at Qin Lun. “Tell me, what are we going to do next?”

…

“Agent Castro, Agent Rowling, this way, follow me!” After running for a distance, they saw Hill waving at them.

“Counselor Hans, you’re still alive. That’s great!” Michelle ran to Hill’s side, her face full of joy. She didn’t know that in the Shepherd’s plan, she was also one of the sacrifices at the node of time and space.

“Yeah, it’s great to see you!” Hill smiled and said, “Come with me. Let’s go into the lake.”

“Hill, why did you run into the lake? It’s more inconvenient for you to move under the water. Maybe the thing behind you can swim too!” Sass asked, panting heavily.

“I don’t want to either. He came out of the lake. Can he not swim? However, this is someone’s plan!” ‘”On land, it can use the fog to recover its body. Perhaps it can really be killed in the water!” Hill muttered to himself.

“Alright, then let’s give it a try!” Sass and Cora exchanged a glance. They were Esmira, and they were more flexible in the water than on the ground. Their combat strength under the water could also be improved by a large margin. They did not object to this suggestion.

Although Qin Lun had suggested launching, after launching, he complained endlessly.

Currently, Sass and Cora were part of the six-man squad. As Esmiras, they had lived in the sea for the first half of their lives. Although it didn’t have a long fin, its movements were as agile and agile as a fish’s.

Hill, with his water elemental bloodline, even though his swimming posture was ordinary, he didn’t seem to have any resistance in the water at all. His speed was probably faster than those Olympic swimming champions. As for Hansen, although he didn’t have any water elemental bloodline, his disciples had also trained as frogmen when they were mercenaries. Adding on his good coordination, his swimming speed wasn’t slow either.

Surprisingly, Michelle, this seemingly bulky centaur girl, was actually very flexible in the water. Perhaps it was because he had a pair of horse hooves more than an ordinary person, and his speed was even faster than Hansen’s.

The most miserable person was Qin Lun himself, who had completely underestimated the difficulty of swimming. This time, he had suffered from the knowledge of books that he had never learned before. Obviously, the swimming technique he had learned from books did not mean that he had truly mastered the swimming technique.

After a long time, Qin Lun finally rolled his eyes and gave up cramming. Using the combat model to enter self-hypnosis, he mechanically waved his limbs in the lake. He was like the clumsiest frog in history, swimming slowly, almost two steps forward and one step backward. Not only was it continuously pouring water into his stomach, but his HP was also slowly decreasing.

Michelle turned around and couldn’t help but turn around. She grabbed Qin Lun’s arm and dragged him forward.

‘”Hold on, we’re almost there. There’s an underwater passageway ahead. It’s relatively narrow. We can use the terrain to trap the Guardian. I hope it’s not that powerful underwater. Perhaps Sass can use his shield to hold it.” Hill warned carefully on the guild channel.

“It’s so fast!” Cora nervously turned around and watched. When she saw the black figure approaching the team at an astonishing speed, she was immediately shocked.

Hearing Cora’s reminder, everyone couldn’t help but look back. The guardian was holding a huge double-edged axe in his hand, and with the strength of his legs, he only kicked it a little and shot it like an arrow.

“This won’t do. You guys go first. I’ll block it!” Sass widened his eyes, his waist forcefully swirled in the water like a big fish, and he turned around to face it.

“Sass, come back, let me do it!” Cora’s expression tightened as she reached out to grab her husband, opened her mouth, and silently chanted an Esmira spell.

The lake water around the guardian suddenly thickened. The jade-green lake water condensed into specks of white frost. The guardians swam slower and slower until they were frozen into a large chunk of ice.

“Hurry up and leave. The Frost Cage can only last for two minutes at most!” After completing this spell, Cora seemed to have received a backlash from her magic power. Two blood snakes hung from her nose, and the color on her face instantly faded, turning completely pale.

“Cora!” Sass held his wife’s hand in distress and swiftly swam towards the underwater passageway that Hill had mentioned.

When they arrived at Hill’s designated location, they only saw a dark underwater passageway appear in front of them. The entrance of the tunnel was filled with green grass and moss. However, there was a mysterious light in the depths of the entrance. It looked as colorful as flowing liquid crystals.

The moment Sass helped Cora into the cave entrance, their faces suddenly changed, and a trace of shock appeared in their eyes. After hiding in the corridor, the two of them exchanged a glance and furrowed their brows, secretly pulling away from Hill and the others.

“Looks like they’ve also received a notification from the spacetime node!” Hill glanced indifferently at Kieran in Michelle’s arms. “It’s not easy to kill them now!”

“Since you have agreed to his plan, then carry it out to the end. Don’t complain like a woman!” Hansen said coldly, “Hey, Qin Lun, you should be awake, right? What should we do next?”

“Boom ~ Huala!” The Frost Cage collapsed even faster than Cora had expected. After escaping, the blood in the guardian’s eyes became even more intense, chasing after him like an arrow. In front of the underwater tunnel, it suddenly stopped. However, as they lingered around the entrance of the cave, the fierce light in their blood eyes circled around the crowd, refusing to enter.

“Haha, he really can’t enter!” Qin Lun raised his head with a smile on his tired face. “It seems that my judgment is correct!”
