The Death List Novel - Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Scorpion-tailed Tiger

“Hurry up and leave, everyone is back!” Qin Lun retracted his palm from the tree trunk and roared in the guild channel.

Hearing Qin Lun’s reminder, three people hurriedly emerged from a huge cave in front of him. They were Cora, Hill, and Frank. The three of them were each holding a young cat in their hands. The three animals were about the size of an adult werewolf dog. Their eyes were tightly closed, and their bodies were covered in fine fur. There were “leap” patterns on their foreheads.

The three cats looked like tigers and panthers on earth, but their tails had barbs that resembled a scorpion’s tail. This was a ferocious creature called the Scorpion-tailed Big Tiger. An adult scorpion-tailed tiger could use its barb to shoot petrification rays. It was a Tier 6 creature that was only one step away from reaching the Advanced Tier.

The scorpion-tailed tiger in the hands of Hill and the others had just been born, and their eyes hadn’t even opened yet. This was the only way for the three of them to succeed. However, there was a strange telepathy between the young scorpion-tailed tiger and its parents. At this moment, accompanied by the cries of the young scorpion, the roars of the adult scorpion-tailed tiger could be heard from afar.

“Frank, go pick up Sass and Hansen!” Hearing this, Frank threw the little tiger in his hand to Qin Lun, and without hesitation, he dived into the bushes beside him.

“Qin Lun, this servant of yours is really capable!” Looking at Frank’s back, Hill praised him with admiration.

There were now two MTs in this team, Sass and Frank. In terms of abilities, Frank was definitely not comparable to Sass. He only had the Skull Shredder and the Undead Mask, and he didn’t even have any Apostle Skills. However, Frank’s undead bloodline, which he inherited from the Guardian, was very powerful. Moreover, his HP was about the same as Sass, who had already changed professions. He could barely be considered a qualified beginner MT.

Hill praised Frank, but he was a little disappointed with Sass, because the two of them had different roles in the team. Frank was Qin Lun’s servant apostle, equivalent to a young man’s brother. He was Qin Lun’s supplement and extension, so he did not need to think independently, make choices and make judgments. As for Sass, he was an independent individual, not a subordinate of the other members, so he needed to be on his own in the mission.

“Let’s go!” Qin Lun grabbed the little scorpion-tailed tiger and glanced in the direction where Frank disappeared. Then, he turned around and quickly left.

Not long after the three of them left, a loud roar came from the forest. A gust of fishy wind came, and a huge monster appeared on the empty space of the cave. This creature was eighty to ninety percent similar to the little scorpion-tailed tiger, but its body was as big as an elephant. Its pitch-black eyes opened and closed, giving it a frightening might.

“Ao!” The giant scorpion-tailed tiger flashed and rushed into its nest. Then, it let out a furious roar and reappeared in the open space in the blink of an eye. Scorpion Tail Biao lowered his head and sniffed on the ground for a while. Suddenly, his nose shook and he sneezed. A trace of doubt appeared on his face as he roared repeatedly.

After confirming that he could no longer track his enemies with his scent, his eyes finally revealed a trace of scarlet red. With a single sweep of his giant scorpion tail, a two-man tree around the clearing was forcefully sliced into two.

“Frank, are you still alive?” Hearing the roar from afar, Sass’s face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground with his broken arm in his arms.

“I’m fine!” Frank silently propped himself up from the ground, his chest caved in and two broken ribs stabbed out of his chest. His face was covered in the miserable green blood of a zombie’s body. His face was slightly deformed, and his left eye was like a leaking pinball. There was only a bloodline hanging from his eye socket.

Frank pushed his ribs hard into his chest, ripped off his left eye, and stood up slowly.

“Let’s go, that Scorpion-tailed Tiger can’t find Qin Lun and the others, it’s coming towards us again!” Hansen jumped down from a big tree beside the two of them.

Hearing Hansen’s words, Sass was shocked. He hurriedly helped Frank up and fled into the distance. Hansen, on the other hand, stayed at the back, covering the tracks of the three of them and sprinkling some gray powder along the way to eliminate their scent.

Today was already the third day of their arrival at the shelter camp. Not long after they entered the camp, the three murderers discovered that their plans had greatly deviated. In the shelter camp, not to mention attacking other camp members, the first problem they encountered was actually survival.

The shelter camp was indeed as free as they had imagined. Apart from Great druid Weimar repeating the three commandments in detail, there was no one to restrain them, and no one to help them.

After arriving at the camp, Vima gave them a small open space and handed them three old tents and some cooking utensils. Then, then there was no more …

There were no wild creatures attacking the camps, but all means of subsistence, including food, had to be obtained by themselves. The other old members would not provide any free assistance to the rookies.

There are only two ways to obtain food and other means of subsistence in shelter camps. One is to work in specially designated beast bars and plantations in camps to provide food for work and obtain means of subsistence. The other is to go hunting in the forest for food, while exchanging animal fur and specialty products for other goods in a special trading area in the camp.

Originally, this method was undeniable, but when it came to the harsh environment of the refuge camp, which was in the center of the silent forest, where even a rabbit was at least a Tier 4 creature, it made it difficult for people to move a single step forward.

However, it wasn’t that Qin Lun and the others hadn’t harvested anything. After three days of hard hunting, they quickly discovered that most of the creatures in the Forest of Silence produced all sorts of materials.

Based on the large beetle that they had hunted yesterday, the shell of the beetle was actually a precious equipment material. If it was fused with Sass’s purple tower shield, it could even upgrade the quality of the shield to dark gold.

This big beetle’s strength was as high as rank six, lying there like a small hill. If it weren’t for their slow movements, they wouldn’t have been able to win. In the end, although they were ground to death, they also spent a whole day, during which they were lucky enough not to meet any other predators.

After killing the big beetle, everyone originally thought that they would gain a lot. Unfortunately, this creature called “Ao Jia” was too strong, and the magic cores in his body self-detonated at the final stage. Apart from the carapace and claws, there was almost nothing useful left for them.

As for the shell left behind, only the small piece in the center could be used as the apostle’s equipment. Although it was of high quality, it could only belong to one person. In the end, it was distributed to Sass. The claws left behind by the beetles sold for a good price and helped them exchange for food in the camp’s trade zone for a few days.

After two days of probing, on the third day, Qin Lun and the others finally received the hunting mission to capture the Scorpion-tailed Tiger. Actually, when it came to this mission, they were also very lucky, because this mission was issued by Master Wei Ma.

A descendant of the Great Druid had recently entered a shelter camp from the cousin realm, and because of his weak strength, it was obvious that obtaining a summoning item for him was the best choice. Wei Ma’s own combat companion was a high-grade unicorn, and the other summoned creatures were also high-grade creatures. They weren’t suitable for that elven descendant, so they could only issue hunting missions.

There were a lot of summoning items in the quest, and the Scorpion Tail Biao was just one of them. Originally, Qin Lun and the others weren’t allowed to interfere in this kind of mission. After all, the adult Scorpion-tailed Big Tiger was only at the Sixth Order. It was extremely difficult for Qin Lun and the others, but it wasn’t a big problem for the other old members of the camp.

However, for the sake of taking care of Qin Lun, Wei Ma still gave him the task first, giving them a favor.

At the beginning of the mission, Qin Lun and the others had underestimated the Scorpion Tail Biao. Although they had used a trick to lure the mother Biao out of the nest, they had successfully captured three newborn Xiao Biao. However, unlike the same Sixth Grade [Ao Jia], the Scorpion-tailed Tyrant moved like the wind, and its attack power was even more powerful than expected.

If it weren’t for the fact that their team had two MTs and Hansen, they would have failed to intercept him. Nevertheless, Frank and Sass had also paid the price of serious injuries, and they would probably have to pay a lot of precious medicines.

“Hill and the others have returned to the vicinity of the camp. They’ve finally completed the mission as planned!” Hansen looked at the guild channel and heaved a sigh of relief.

The three of them helped each other to the planned gathering place. Hill and Cora were already waiting for them, but Little Biao in their hands was nowhere to be found.

“Hehe, we’ve finally completed the first step of the plan. Sass and Cora will go back first. We’ll bring this pangolin back to the camp later!” Hill kicked a rhinoceros-sized creature beside him.

This was a creature that resembled a pangolin. Now, it had lost its life force and was lying on the ground. After the group entered the camp, they did not form a small group, but split into three groups on the surface.

Kieran lived alone, with the Sass as the second group and Frank, Hill and Hansen as the last. This arrangement was actually to confuse the others in the camp.

After so many days, the apostle team that Hill and Hansen had initially provoked should have probably chased after the asylum camp. Hansen had some of the guild’s soul imprints on him, while the Sars had the distinctive signs of a purple tower shield and a turquoise parrot staff on them. They split into three groups to confuse the enemy.

Of course, the most dangerous ones were the Sass couple. The soul imprint on Hansen’s body was very weak after a teleportation. In addition, they lived very close to each other, so it was impossible to confirm. As for Qin Lun, he was a dark chess player. Due to Frank’s existence, the enemy would never have imagined that a black iron team would have six apostles.

The Sass couple approved of the arrangement. They thought that splitting up into three groups was just a safety measure, but they didn’t know that they had actually become the most dangerous bait in the situation.

The Sass couple entered the camp a few minutes early, while Hill and the others dragged the pangolin into the camp with great difficulty on a bracket made of tree branches.

“Those people are here. You guys follow the plan!” As soon as the three of them entered the camp, they heard Qin Lun’s reminder on the guild channel.

Hill raised his head and saw a small team walking towards them from the camp’s rookies area. A big man leading them was staring at the pangolins behind them, his eyes shining with an inexplicable light.
