The Death List Novel - Chapter 204
Chapter 204 White Bone Shield
“Qin Lun, Qin Lun ~ ~ ~” Under the leadership of the Great druid Weimar, Michelle chased after him out of breath.
“Michelle?” Qin Lun was slightly surprised. Could it be that the centaur girl had changed her mind and was unwilling to be an apprentice to Holk?
“This … Great Mage Holk asked me to give this to you!” Michelle flushed and stuffed a scroll with golden runes into Kieran’s hand. Then, she swung her ponytail and ran away.
“This is also fine!” The apostles in the party were all dumbfounded.
“This obviously does not conform to the principle of equivalent exchange!” Hansen said expressionlessly, “Little white face is popular. In the next world, I want to change my face!”
“Alright, don’t be jealous. With your monkey bloodline, your face doesn’t have the temperament of an elf!” Hill mocked mercilessly.
“Haha, Qin Lun, do you want me to say hello to Holk and let you stay!” Wei Ma, who was also an elf, asked with a smile.
“No, there’s no need!” Qin Lun looked at Michelle’s back and put the scroll into his arms.
…
“Everyone, rest here for one night and continue on your journey tomorrow!” Druid jumped out of the carriage and smiled.
The “carriage” they rode was a carriage pulled by forest reindeer. Compared to the main world of Nars, the inner world did not have modern technology and their daily life was relatively simple.
Qin Lun raised his head to look at the wooden house in front of him. This was a relay station set up by various powers to facilitate communication and trade. Every faction in the inner world was equivalent to a living area. Apart from the animals and plants in the inner world itself, there weren’t many intelligent beings.
A settlement with more than a thousand people was already considered a very large force. This was because in the past hundred years, there hadn’t been any major wars in the inner world. The inner world was abundant in magical elements. Most creatures, including non-intelligent creatures, had very strong vitality. Even the lowest level horned rabbits and hamsters had certain magical abilities.
Living in the inner world without self-preservation would be quite dangerous. As a result, new life born in the inner world is often sent to the cousin world and placed in specialized institutions. When they grow up, if their parents are still alive, they will be brought back to the inner world, or they will be left to live independently in the main world.
“Welcome to the Unicorn Hotel!” As soon as everyone arrived at the gate of the relay station, the wooden door automatically opened. The originally dim room was lit up with orange lights. Everyone immediately saw a strange creature standing behind the door.
This creature’s body was made up of its head and tentacles, a bit like the legendary Evil Eyed Monster. His head was like a giant light bulb, with a huge eye in the middle and eight thick and flexible tentacles connected below. Four of the tentacles supported his body, while the other four were holding rags, brooms, and other items, making him feel very surprised.
“His name is Fenkes. He’s a Plain Demon Eye Monster. He’s hired by the shelter camp to run the relay station here!” Wei Ma smiled and introduced him to the crowd. “Finks is very capable. If you need anything, let him know!”
“Master Weima, are they the guests of the watch world that you have received this time?” Fenkes’ huge eyeball opened its mouth, which was full of serrated teeth, and looked at the crowd.
“Hello, Finks!” Everyone was a little annoyed by the sight of it. They turned to the side and entered the relay station. They sat down obediently around the big round table in the middle of the hall.
Other than Finks, there were no other guests at the relay station. The world was sparsely populated, and it was already quite busy for such a relay station to have visitors once a month.
“Finks, I’ll go upstairs and rest for a while. You can entertain them!” Wei Ma lazily yawned and walked towards the stairs.
“Guys, what would you like to eat?” Finks circled behind the bar and placed a wooden board on everyone’s dining table. It was filled with dense food and drinks.
Everyone looked at the names of the food they had never seen before and felt a little overwhelmed.
“Fenkes … Sir, do you have any good suggestions?” Sass asked cautiously. This time he decided to ask before eating, so that he wouldn’t get anything strange to eat.
“Hehe, if you want me to say it, the Giant Plain Mite meat is not bad. It’s tender and juicy. It can also be fried with green-winged locusts, and then accompanied by a glass of urine from a fluorescent bat” Finks tilted his giant lips, revealing his large, serrated mouth as he looked at the crowd with a faint smile.
“Hey, Finks, don’t bully newbies. Give them the menu to watch the world!” Wei Ma revealed her head from the stairs and smiled as she warned.
“Yes, Master Weimar!” Finks rolled his eyes and showed a dull expression. He lazily picked up the menu and went back to the bar.
When it returned, it placed a few large wooden plates in front of everyone’s desks. Everyone was familiar with the food inside. Mashed potatoes, roasted chicken, a large plate of beef, some pastries and a small bucket of black beer.
“Alright, gentlemen, I’ve only prepared these food from the watch world. You guys can eat together!”
“I see. Those grassland elves must have played us at Holk’s!” When Finks turned around and left, Hansen’s expression suddenly changed as he gritted his teeth and said.
There was communication between the main world of Nars and the inner world. Great Mage Holk was also a human. Even if he consumed some rare food that was full of magic power, it was impossible to completely cut off human food. When the grassland elves received the crowd, it was obvious that they were deliberately teasing the crowd with the eggs of the eagle-shaped female demons.
“Hehe, the food in the outer world is barren and devoid of nutrition. What’s so delicious about it? Since you have entered the inner world, you must learn to get used to the food here!” Finks didn’t seem to have eaten dinner yet. He was eating a large plate of food at another table.
When everyone heard this, they could clearly see what it was eating and couldn’t help but have ugly expressions on their faces. It was a tray of living big beetles. Each of them was the size of a fist and had a ferocious shape. However, Fenkes ate with relish. He used his tentacles to skillfully open the shell of the beetle’s back and put it into his serrated mouth to suck. Jade-green juice slowly dripped down from his mouth.
“Vomit!” Cora’s face turned pale and she retched. She pushed open the plate in front of her and couldn’t eat anymore. In any case, even if the apostle didn’t eat for a few days, his HP would only drop a little. He wouldn’t die.
After using some food, Qin Lun went upstairs to rest alone. This relay station wasn’t very big, it could only have one room for two people. However, the cleanliness and neatness of the room made him feel relieved.
Qin Lun took out the scroll that Michelle had given him before he left and discovered that it was a defensive consumption spell, the White Bone Shield. This scroll could be activated by will, producing three white bone shields that revolved around the body. It had good defensive capabilities against physical and magical attacks.
Holk wouldn’t look at Qin Lun differently. This was obviously a defensive item Michelle had specifically requested for him.
After a night of silence, the next day, Wei Ma came along and urged everyone to continue on their journey.
The reindeer carriage was no slower than the main world’s cars, travelling at speeds of no less than 100 km/h on the boundless plains. Moreover, the surface of the carriage was covered with a protective layer activated by magic crystals. It had both a protective effect and a shock absorbing effect. Basically, it did not cause the people inside the carriage to feel any big jolts.
After two consecutive days of traveling, they saw from the horizon a vast forest that was like a sea wave. The silent forest had finally arrived!
“We’re finally home!” Wei Ma’s tone was filled with joy.
“Master Weima, how much time does it take to get to the camp from outside the forest?” Qin Lun leaned against Wei Ma and asked softly.
Along the way, since Qin Lun possessed an Elven bloodline, the Great Druid’s attitude towards him was the most gentle. The rest of the team were also happy and relaxed. In Hansen’s words, that was the duty of a pretty boy.
‘”Haha, the Forest of Silence is huge, occupying 40% of the southern hills. If we were to walk, we wouldn’t be able to reach the center of the forest in a week. However, there’s a small teleportation array outside the forest. It won’t take long for us to directly enter the camp!” Wei Ma replied with a chuckle.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at a clearing in the forest. The woodland was empty, and at the center was a bluestone altar with an enormous teleportation formation engraved on it. There were some empty tents and broken wooden stakes around the altar, as well as a long-extinguished mud bonfire.
The druid looked up at the sky and said to the crowd, “At this time, the camp has restricted the teleportation. We have to stay here for the night before we can teleport into the camp tomorrow morning!”
Everyone took out sleeping bags and food from the carriage, cleaned up the camp, picked up some dry sticks and firewood from nearby, and lit a campfire.
The warm flames dispelled the chill from everyone’s bodies. Wei Ma took out a small package from her bosom and threw some dried mushrooms into the big pot. There was mutton and vegetables from the relay station in the big pot, so they could only eat from the big pot this evening.
“Master Weima, what did you put in there?” Seeing Wei Ma put some red and green powder into the big pot, Kora asked with lingering fear.
“Haha, don’t worry, these are the seasonings I made myself. They are basically powdered from plant roots and fruits!” Wei Ma tossed the small bag in her hand to Kora. “I’ll give you the rest. You’ve just arrived at the camp, so there will be some inconvenience in your food, clothing, accommodation and transportation. You need to adapt to the daily life in the camp as soon as possible!”
“Master Weima, do you need to take turns to watch the night?” Hill asked cautiously.
“No need. This is the outer perimeter of the forest. There are no large wild beasts, and there are warning formations around. Animals don’t know how to cross the border!” Wei Ma shook her head without any worry, “You guys should rest early. Tomorrow …”
“Ao!” Before Wei Ma could finish her words, a giant bear that was nearly four meters tall suddenly rose from the bushes in front of the campsite and roared at the crowd with both of its palms raised. This giant bear’s appearance was very similar to the bears that everyone remembered. However, the fur on its body was very long, and the mane on its head hung down like a Beatle’s.
“That’s” Everyone stood up nervously.
“Sit down, sit down. That’s a long-haired bear. It’s attracted by the scent of food. Don’t scare it!” Wei Ma took out a large wooden plate, shook out a few spoonfuls of mutton from the pot, and walked towards the long-furred bear that was several times her size.
“She told us not to frighten it!” Sass smiled bitterly at the back of the druid.
“She said that there are no large wild beasts outside the forest!” Hansen said expressionlessly.
“Perhaps in Master Wei Ma’s eyes, this fellow isn’t a big animal!” Qin Lun’s face twitched. “I think when we enter the camp, it would be best to look for a bio-atlas of the Forest of Silence first …”
