The Death List Novel - Chapter 211
Chapter 211 Cassie’s Dilemma
Most of the tree techniques in the depths of the silent forest were luxuriant, and there were dozens of towering ancient trees that were embraced by more than ten people. Standing in the forest and looking up, the sky above the forest seemed to be covered with a layer of green leaves. Sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the branches and leaves, shining on the open space in the forest, leaving behind mottled shadows. Even though it was almost noon, the temperature in the forest was still not high, revealing a trace of refreshing coolness.
“Qin Lun …”
“Silence!” Qin Lun covered the elven youth’s mouth and didn’t dare to move.
Early this morning, Cassie had already defeated a drugged rhino in the arena by herself. She had reached the conditions set by Master Weima and was no longer under the surveillance of the Ghost Owl.
In the battle, Qin Lun also “helped him” as promised. However, Qin Lun did not summon his Hellfire Devil Dog. Instead, he used a psychic spell on the rhino at a critical moment.
Barbarian Rhinoceros reached Tier 5, and Qin Lun’s remaining energy was unable to meet the recruitment requirements. However, Qin Lun’s Moon Night Fairy bloodline had the ability to recruit Moon Night, and he had great affinity for jungle creatures. Barbarian Rhino was inevitably affected. Only after his will was shaken did Cassie heavily injure him, allowing him to win the battle.
At this moment, the two of them were hiding in the crown of a giant tree. In front of this giant tree was a small hillside. There were no trees growing on the hillside, and the surrounding forests surrounded the hillside, forming a rare void in the depths of the silent forest. Looking down from above the forest, the hillside looked like an ugly scar.
Not only are there no trees in the hillside area, but there are very few vegetation. The hillside was right in front of Qin Lun and the other two. There was a huge cave that was six meters high and four meters wide. There was an open space at the entrance of the cave. Clearly, this hillside was not formed naturally, but was a nest created by a powerful creature.
The soil in the open space in front of the cave had a filthy dark brown color, and there were many pale skeletons scattered around it. Some of the skeletons, even in the silent forest, could be considered large animals. When one looked at them, they were astonishing.
There was an extinguished bonfire in the middle of the clearing, and a small amount of broken bones could be vaguely seen in the ashes. On the left side of the clearing were a few bowl-sized animal tibia, four meters long, sharpened at the upper end and standing like a flagpole. One of the bone stalks was pierced by an adult reindeer.
The tip of the bone stuck into the reindeer’s buttocks, pierced through its throat and hung it like bacon. Beneath the shaft was a giant creature’s pelvis. Inside was half a basin of reindeer blood, which had already condensed into jelly-like clots of blood.
There was also a bone shaft with half of the torn animal remains hanging on it. Because the remains were completely different, it was impossible to tell what kind of creature they were. Surprisingly, there was also a “drying rack” beside it. This is a simple clothes rack made of two fork-shaped animal fibulas and tree vines, on which several large pieces of biological fur are dried.
As the breeze blew past, the strong stench of decay poured into Qin Lun and Cassie’s noses, causing them to feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Qin Lun, why didn’t you see the hill giant you mentioned!” Cassie whispered into Qin Lun’s ear.
“Maybe he’s still sleeping in the cave!” Qin Lun said with some uncertainty, “The hill giant is very lazy. It doesn’t come out until noon to eat and bask in the sun.”
“Then let’s take a closer look!” Cassie straightened her upper body with interest and was about to climb down the tree.
“Come back!” Qin Lun was so anxious that he grabbed his trousers and dragged them back. Suppressing his anger, he roared softly, “You don’t want to die. The adult hill giant is as high as rank eight. Moreover, according to information, there are at least one giant or two in this cave! If they find out, we will all die here!”
“Didn’t you say that the hill giant couldn’t catch up to us in the forest? Aiyo ~ ~” Cassie’s big eyes flashed as he looked at Qin Lun innocently.
“Don’t pretend to be cute! The hill giant is still a rank eight creature no matter what, there’s no need to risk his life.” Qin Lun angrily slapped the back of his head, “I regret bringing you out. Wait another five minutes. If the Hill Giant doesn’t come out, we’ll go back immediately!”
“Hehe!” Cassie scratched her blonde hair embarrassedly and made a face at Qin Lun.
Qin Lun ignored him and closed his eyes to sleep.
“… Five minutes have passed. Let’s go back. We won’t wait any longer!” After a while, Qin Lun opened his eyes again, grabbed Cassie and gently climbed down the tree.
“Are you sure you don’t want to wait?” Cassie’s expression was uncertain as her eyeballs rolled.
“Don’t give me any shit. We still have a lot of time. I’ll take you to see other things!” Qin Lun sternly warned the elven youth, “If you don’t listen, I won’t bring you out next time!”
“What a pity!” Cassie licked her lips and looked at the cave not far ahead with regret.
“Ao!” Just as the two of them carefully descended from the tree and had just left the territory of the hill giant for more than ten minutes, a deafening roar came from that direction. This roar was extremely penetrating. Even though it was two kilometers away, it still caused a commotion in the forest.
The birds that inhabited the canopy soared into the air one after another, casting a shadow over their heads.
“Cassie, we should go back! Cassie?” Qin Lun raised his head and watched with a solemn expression as a gigantic golden-eyed eagle flew above his head.
Unable to get Cassie’s reply, Qin Lun was surprised. He lowered his head and discovered that the elven youth was running towards the cave of the hill giant.
‘”Cassie!” Qin Lun roared angrily as he sprinted towards the disobedient elven younger brother.
“We’re all here. Just take a look!” Cassie smiled and turned around to make a face.
Qin Lun looked at the elven youth angrily, but his expression immediately changed as he opened his eyes wide and shouted, “Idiot! You be careful behind you!”
Within the dense bushes, a huge creature flew out and crashed into Cassie, who had his back facing him. The creature was like a mixture of a wild boar and a hedgehog from the Earth World, with two gigantic three-foot-long fangs beneath its arched nose and spikes on its back.
This creature was called the Arrow Titan Beast, a Tier 5 creature. In the center of the Silent Forest, it was only a low-level creature. It did not possess magical abilities. It only relied on its long fangs and arrows that could be fired from its back.
However, the Arrow Titan Beast was irritable. Once it was enraged, it would dare to charge even against high-tier creatures. In addition, the strength of the Arrow Titan Beast was boundless. It had arrows far away and fangs close to it. Among all Tier 5 and Tier 6 creatures, it was a very difficult type to deal with.
The adult arrow-haired beast is more than two meters tall, nearly four meters long and weighs at least 4,000 pounds. At this moment, it was shocked by the hill giant’s roar. It was in a state of frenzy. Seeing the elven youth in front of it, its eyes were immediately filled with blood and it charged forward without pause.
Cassie couldn’t see what was happening behind her, but she could feel the stench of the strong wind coming from behind her. Her expression immediately changed slightly, and she stopped her feet and nimbly pounced sideways. However, although his reaction was quick, it was a little late. The Arrow Titan’s fangs were less than a meter away from his waist.
“Cancel the pre-judgement mode and call the preset shooting model directly to enter the specific calculation …”
[Forest terrain, current wind level 3. Target is a large creature. Target is at 10 o’clock. Body height is 2.1 meters. Distance is 12.7 meters. Elevation is 4.3 degrees …]
[Target speed 14.2 m/s, sprint acceleration floating 1.5-3 m/s …]
“The shooting point is set to the left eye of the target. There is a human obstacle at the end of the ballistic trajectory. Abolish the original shooting model …”
“Activate the third type of preset spear-Refractive Ballistics …”
“The length of both arms cannot meet the trajectory requirements. The body of the Laws needs to be leapt horizontally. The angle between the two clips is 31.2 degrees and the interval is 0.02 seconds …”
[Shooting Plan Evaluation: Insufficient calculation data, success rate 83%!]
Qin Lun’s eyes were instantly blank as he expressionlessly stepped on his left foot. His body soared into the air like a trampoline, and he jumped horizontally in the air with a back-to-back high jump. It was unknown when the light and dark funeral had already appeared in his hands.
“Bang! Bang!” Two Colt revolvers, one white and one black, shot out flames one after another. The bullets from the Demon Song in his left hand were strangely slanted, almost shooting in the direction of two o’clock of the Arrow Titan Beast. The right-handed Angel’s Praise bullet, however, was a little slower and shot straight in the direction of 12 o’clock. However, it was also not aimed at the porcupine.
Although the two golden bullets fired in different directions, due to the different firing times and the fact that Qin Lun was flying horizontally in the air, an angle of roughly 30 degrees was formed.
“Ding!” The trajectories of the two bullets crisscrossed in the air. The bullet from the salute of the angels collided with the side of the bullet, causing it to instantly change its trajectory and shoot towards the Arrow Titan Beast. Moreover, due to the acceleration of the impact, the bullet’s speed reached an unbelievable state, hitting the Arrow Beast like a bolt of lightning.
Of course, a small bullet could not stop the giant beast’s final sprint, but if the target was the eye, then this small metal bullet could still cause great pain and wounds to the Arrow Titan Beast.
“Ao!” As expected, the Arrow Titanic Beast cried out in pain. Its four hooves paused and it stood up. The sharp fangs almost flashed beneath Cassie’s body. With a loud chi, they tore through the elven youth’s trousers, allowing him to hang on to his long fangs.
“Pa!” Qin Lun fell from the sky and fell to the ground. His eyes regained their focus and he fell out of his self-hypnosis.
Qin Lun didn’t bother to check if he was injured, so he hurriedly raised his head to look at Cassie and the Arrow Beast. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. One of the Arrow Beast’s eyes was tightly closed. A streak of dirty blood was hanging from its sockets. It was crazily running through the bushes with its tail between its legs. On its fangs was Cassie, who was still swaying left and right.
The elven youth danced around, his face pale as he closed his eyes and screamed miserably. The leather trousers hanging on the fangs of the arrow-haired beast had a big hole, revealing half a snow-white butt.
“Qin Lun, save me ~ ~” The arrow beast carrying Cassie quickly left, leaving behind the cries of the elven youth along the way.
