The Death List Novel - Chapter 207

Chapter 207 Spirit Channeling

“Is this the treehouse area where the old members of the camp live?” Qin Lun looked around curiously. This place was filled with large trees that required seven or eight people to embrace. Within the enormous canopies of these trees, one could vaguely see all sorts of strange-looking tree houses.

These treehouses were supported by the branches of giant trees. Some of them looked like hanging baskets in the air, some looked like tea bowls with upside down tops, and some looked like pans on top of upright trees, like a big mushroom.

The treehouses looked trembling and dangerous, but in reality, they had been built for many years. They were very strong and did not fear the wind or rain.

“Someone stop!” When Qin Lun and Cassie walked in front of one of the giant trees, two large trees that were about five meters tall suddenly rose from the ground. Their huge roots and branches split into four limbs, blocking their path.

“Is that Cassie and Qin Lun? Let them come up!” The voice of the druid came from the treehouse at the top of the giant tree.

Hearing this, the two treant guards placed their arms under their feet and signaled for them to stand up. After the two of them steadied themselves, the treant raised his arm and lifted them into the air, sending them directly into the crown of the giant tree. He then returned to his original position, his legs disintegrating into tree roots and plunging back into the soil.

The canopy of the giant tree was not as dense as it looked outside, and its branches were in good order. Some of the vines that depended on the branches of the giant tree were artificially woven into vine stairs that extended all the way to the central treehouse high up in the canopy.

As Qin Lun climbed the vine stairs, he looked at the small world in the tree with great interest. He couldn’t help but fall in love with the wonders of nature.

There were curtains hanging at the entrance of the treehouse, and there were tender leaves on the upright vines. The leaves were emerald green, and the fur on the surface was attached to the early morning dew. As they approached, they could smell a fresh scent of vegetation.

“Come in, don’t stand at the door!”

“Master Wei Ma, I’m sorry to disturb you!” Qin Lun opened the vine curtain and walked into the room. After seeing it clearly, he couldn’t help but be slightly surprised. The furnishings in the treehouse were simple. Apart from a hammock, there were only a few old treasure chests on the wooden stakes that served as tables and stools.

“Haha, doesn’t it feel simple and crude?” Master Wei Ma seemed to have seen through Qin Lun’s doubts and smiled. “This is just my daily living room. There is another place for my cultivation and laboratory!”

“Auntie Weima, Qin Lun has already helped me catch three little scorpion-tailed tigers!” Cassie walked to Wei Ma’s side, lowering her eyebrows and pretending to be a good baby.

“Oh, so fast? Let me see!” Wei Ma raised her eyebrows and took a small object from a large wooden stake. It looked like an LCD screen, but in the middle was a silk fabric that resembled a tennis court net.

Master Wei Ma raised his palm, the tip of his index finger slightly shining as he lit up the small mesh. The light on her fingers quickly fused into the screen, and then the screen was like an electric display screen, revealing a specific image.

A trace of admiration appeared on Qin Lun’s face. Although this was not the first time he had seen a magic tool that could connect to a magic web, he would always be impressed by this magic miracle.

“The quality of the image is a bit poor. It looks like we’re going to exchange for another set of Bone Demon Spider’s silk webs!” Master Wei Ma frowned. After looking at it for a while, a smile appeared on his face. He turned to Qin Lun and said, “The three little scorpion-tailed tigers in the beast pen are all very healthy. It seems that you have indeed completed your mission.”

“Yes, Auntie Weima, Qin Lun also promised to teach me the spiral spear technique. You have to thank him for helping me!” Cassie rolled her eyes at Qin Lun and smiled.

“That’s right, that’s right, you little brat will treat auntie as a favor!” Wei Ma smiled and fiercely poked Cassie’s forehead with her finger. “Alright, you go out first and let Auntie talk to Qin Lun alone!”

“Oh!” Cassie pouted and walked out of the tree house with a face full of displeasure.

‘”The Scorpion-tailed Tyrant is one of the last few summoning items on the list of candidates for this mission, and its advancement potential is limited. However, the young Scorpion-tailed Tyrant is very plastic, so you barely managed to complete the mission!” After Cassie left, Wei Ma turned around and smiled, “Tell me, what kind of reward do you want?”

“Master Weima, you’ve already given us this mission. How dare Qin Lun ask for your things?” Qin Lun smiled and said, “It’s just that I’ve encountered some technical problems. If you can give me some pointers, I’ll be very satisfied!”

“Oh, may I ask about some technical problems?” Wei Ma nodded slightly and said with a smile, “After all, other people’s things are other people’s things. Your ability to comprehend them is the foundation. It’s good that you can understand this! Then what’s the problem with you?”

‘”Master, you are the Great Druid. You should be proficient in summoning spells. One of my summoning spells” Qin Lun quickly recounted the fact that his Maezer summoning spell was only at the fourth rank, while the Hellfire Devil Hound was at the fifth rank.

“Master Weima, what should I do next to match the level of the summoning spell with the summoned object?”

“Hell creature?” Wei Ma frowned slightly. There was also a Purgatory Abyss in the Narsly World. Qin Lun’s Hellfire Devil Dog was not worth making a fuss about. However, as an elven druid, Wei Ma instinctively disliked Hell creatures.

“As an elf, you’d better use a different kind of jungle creature as a summoning object in the future. Hell creatures are mostly savage, so they might even backfire on their masters. Now … summon that Hellfire Devil Hound once, and let me see the process of summoning spells!” Wei Ma sighed.

“Is it here?” Qin Lun looked around awkwardly.

“Haha, it doesn’t matter!” Master Wei Ma chuckled and waved his hand. A transparent bubble the size of a washbasin appeared in front of them. “Put your hand on this and summon the Hellfire Devil Dog!”

“Oh!” Qin Lun put his hand on the bubble doubtfully and summoned Cyberlas. The surface of the bubble was quite tough, but its feel was somewhat like cowhide. After Mazel’s summoning technique was activated, a small dot of light quickly appeared in the center of the bubble, and then a miniature version of the Hellfire Devil Dog appeared.

“Pa!” Cyberus, who was sleeping soundly, fell from the center of the bubble and lay on the bottom of the bubble. He instantly shook his head in a daze and stood up.

“Wangwu!” Cyberlus shook his head angrily, but seeing the two huge faces outside the bubble, he immediately retreated, and his fur started to howl wildly. After shouting a few times and recognizing that one of the faces was his master, he carefully stuck to the edge of the bubble and flatteringly wagged his tail.

“Master Weima, your spell is truly amazing!” Qin Lun couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration when he saw the originally calf-like Hellfire Devil Hound shrink to the size of a fist.

“Haha, the spell itself isn’t magical. It’s mainly due to the mo net!” Wei Ma smiled and shook her head, “Alright, put it away. I roughly understand your summoning technique!”

After taking Cyberlas back, Qin Lun’s body shook. His face turned slightly green, and two blood snakes hung from his nose. He was a little dizzy.

Master Wei Ma waved his hand and a clear light shot towards Qin Lun’s head. Qin Lun felt a cool feeling enveloping him and quickly recovered from his dizziness.

“Using a Tier 4 Summoning Technique to accommodate Tier 5 Hell creatures, you’re really messing around!” Wei Ma shook her head slightly and pondered for a while before saying, “Your summoning technique is a constant contract type summoning technique. It’s very special. I’m not familiar with this type of summoning technique, so I can’t help you raise the level of your summoning technique! However, I can change the type of summoning technique for you …”

“Master Weima, are there many types of summoning techniques?” Qin Lun asked curiously.

‘”Yes, there are many types of summoning spells. Generally speaking, they can be divided into three types: contract type, soul type and formation type …” Wei Ma smiled and introduced the general types of summoning spells to Qin Lun.

Contractual summoning spells could summon most of the summoned creatures, even without distinguishing between the summoned creatures’ camps. Ordinary creatures, undead, Fiendgods, and elemental creatures could all sign summoning contracts.

However, the shortcomings of this summoning technique were also very obvious. Contractual summoning techniques could not accommodate summoning objects of a higher level than summoning techniques. Even if he could barely accommodate a high-grade creature, there would still be a mental backlash like Qin Lun. If it was higher than rank two, it would tear apart the summoning space and destroy the souls of the summoned creatures.

Soul Summoning did not have the disadvantage of Contract Summoning, but it could not accommodate summoned creatures that were different from the owner’s soul. For example, the elves’ soul space couldn’t hold the demon cores or the soul flames of the undead. In addition, once a summoned creature died of injury, its owner’s soul would also be injured to varying degrees.

The last spell formation summoning technique was also called Spirit Channeling. This type of summoning technique was the most liberal. There was neither a limit on the level of summoning nor a limit on the type of soul. However, summoned creatures summoned by psychic techniques were difficult to restrain. If their loyalty was not high, summoned creatures would sometimes not even listen to their master’s orders.

At the same time, although there was no limit to the number of summoned creatures, summoning creatures required a stronger spiritual will, which indirectly affected the number of summoned creatures. In other words, if Qin Lun switched from Mazel’s Summoning Technique to Spirit Channeling Technique, with his current Spirit Power, he could only possess the Hellfire Devil Hound as a summoning creature, which was equivalent to crippling the other summoning spot of Mazel’s Summoning Technique.

‘”How is it? Have you thought about it? I can’t help you raise the level of the Contract Summoning Technique. The Soul Summoning Technique isn’t suitable for your Hellfire Devil Dog either. I can only exchange it for a Spirit Channeling Technique, and it’s only as strong as the Pentagram Formation at most!” Master Wei Ma looked at Qin Lun and said seriously.

‘”Compared to your own contract summoning spell, the Pentagram Spirit Channeling spell is a notch lower. Not only is it very low binding on existing summoned creatures, it will also weaken the recruitment strength of summoning spells!”
