The Death List Novel - Chapter 213
Chapter 213 Zhan Shanqiu
The hill giant’s footsteps echoed in the narrow cave, like the muffled sound of war drums.
“Oswald, Oswald ~ ~” The mouth of the small hill emitted some vague Luhmann forest language as it chased after the cave with open teeth and claws.
The hills, which are two or three years old, have been able to speak and have long lived a dangerous life in silence, making them smarter than human children. The small hill that chased after the cave was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, it blocked the bone stone axe in front of it, hesitating slightly.
His mother had taught him how to distinguish danger. Although the enemy in front of him looked weak, he was instinctively puzzled by the way he barged into the cave. Their caves were close to the shelter camp, and they could often see little things like Qin Lun nearby. His mother once told him that all the little things that came out of that place were dangerous and that he needed to be more careful in hunting.
Seeing the cautious movements of the small hill, Qin Lun’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with surprise.
However, the young man quickly smiled. According to the information he received, no matter how smart a hill giant was, it was still a hill giant. The reason why they weren’t truly intelligent races was because most Giants had a big problem. Their temperament was too violent and impulsive. Once provoked, they often lose their rational judgement.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun raised his spear and fired. The bullets formed two chains of fire in the dim cave, extending all the way to the bone stone axe in the small hill’s hand.
Apart from the eight Dark Gold bullets left, the rest of the three bullets had been used up by Qin Lun in the training ground. In fact, after the ammunition was replenished, he found out the hidden characteristics of a firearm that the original owner hadn’t told him about when he had purchased the Light and Dark Burial Memorial.
The bullets for the funeral did not need to be specially loaded. Because the bullets were personally manufactured by the gunman, they had the spiritual imprint of the gunman on them. They could be automatically loaded into the revolver from the storage space by relying on his consciousness.
Of course, the bullets that were originally gifted to him by the Dark Light Funeral couldn’t be loaded automatically. Qin Lun had only discovered this after replenishing his ammunition at a later stage. Due to this characteristic, Qin Lun only retained eight dark gold bullets. The rest of the bullets were used by him for training. The current blue and purple bullets were all added later.
He also wanted to thank Hill and Hansen for the broken crystals they provided. Without these two, the remaining broken crystals would not be able to afford this kind of training consumption.
“Ding ding!” The bullets splashed sparks on the hilt of the stone axe, producing the sound of metal striking each other. Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately switched targets. The fire chain extended towards the stone axe blade of the bone axe.
“Peng Peng Peng!” Under the fire of the fire chain, the sharp stone axe blade became potholed within a few seconds, and stone debris flew everywhere.
Most of the creatures in Silence Forest were powerful, and their bones were as hard as steel. Even if they used purple armor piercing bullets, it would take a long time to break the hilt of the bone axe. On the contrary, it would be easier to destroy the stone axe blade.
“Whoosh ~ ~ ~” The flying shrapnel and debris hit the small hill, causing the hill’s face to hurt. He shouted angrily and raised his right hand backwards. The huge bone axe turned into a black shadow and was thrown at Qin Lun.
“Hu!” The bone axe whistled sharply in the air and flew past Qin Lun’s head, only a foot away. The silver hair next to the young man’s ears flew up, and he couldn’t help but stiffen his face and turn his head to look back. The enormous blade of the bone axe completely submerged into the hard wall behind him, leaving only the bone hilt trembling slightly.
Qin Lun felt a surge of heat coming from his body, and a cold sweat the size of a bean slowly appeared on the corners of his forehead. The moment the small hill threw the bone axe, he really seemed to see Reaper smiling at him. If it weren’t for the fact that the hill was still dodging shrapnel and debris and throwing it more accurately, his head would have probably turned into a rotten watermelon.
No matter how specific the information was, only by witnessing the power of the hill giant with one’s own eyes could one understand that terrifying strange power.
When the hill saw that the bone axe missed its target, its eyes began to fill with blood. Anger finally suppressed its rationality. Its arms blocked the door and roared as it charged towards Qin Lun.
It’s about time! A bright light flashed in Qin Lun’s eyes. He put away his spears, bent down, spread out his palms, and slapped the ground in front of him. “Spirit Channeling-Hellfire Devil Dog!”
Qin Lun’s palms lit up. With his palms as the core, a silver pentagram lit up in the cave. The mysterious Pentagram Array attracted the attention of the little hill and stopped it. When the light dimmed again, the tiger-headed hill discovered that there was a calf-sized twin-headed creature in front of it.
“Woo ~ ~ ~” Unlike the hill’s hesitation, Cyberus gritted his teeth and let out a low roar as soon as he saw the enemy in front of him. His pitch-black pupils lit up with sparks, his back arched, and the saliva dripping from his mouth lit up clouds of smoke on the ground.
Although it was younger than a small hill, the demonic creature had a certain amount of memory inheritance from birth, and it would slowly unseal as it grew. As a hound of the Abyss Devils, Hellhounds were naturally powerful predators.
As the Hellfire Devil Hound roared in a low voice, the confusion on the little hill’s face was swept away. Its palms spread out and nervously protected its chest. It bent down slightly and quietly retreated beneath its feet.
How clever! Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. The little hill’s actions made him sigh again. Such an irritable temperament, he was actually able to wake up again, clearly see the situation, and planned to escape. Qin Lun completely changed his view of the hill giant. He no longer treated the small hill in front of him as a wild beast, but as an intelligent race.
Do you want to use your dark hands? No, not yet! Qin Lun hesitated for a rare moment, but was immediately rejected by himself. He then smiled lightly. He turned around and walked towards the back.
“Oswald, Oswald ~ ~” Strangely enough, seeing Qin Lun approaching the back of the cave again, the small hill actually stopped retreating. It gritted its teeth and roared at Qin Lun. It didn’t run anymore.
The hill giant’s cave was covered with hay and withered leaves, and there were several complete skeletons scattered around it. This was where they slept.
Qin Lun flew up and kicked the hay and dead leaves on the ground. Seeing his movements, the hill’s expression became even more anxious. However, Cyberlus had stopped him after rushing a few times.
“Bang!” While Qin Lun was making trouble, his toes hooked into a skeleton, causing it to crash into the wall. Shattered bones swirled in the air, instantly kicking away this already tattered skeleton.
‘”Wow ~ ~” Seeing this scene, the small hill immediately jumped into a rage and rushed towards Qin Lun.
“Haha, so these skeletons are your toys!” Seeing the angry look on the hill, Qin Lun blinked his eyes and chuckled.
Since the hill giants had such high intelligence, it was inevitable that they would also have the habits of intelligent races. No matter how clever the hill was, it was only a child. Sometimes, toys are more important to children than their lives.
The little hill’s reckless behavior allowed it to charge a long distance away. Even the Hellfire Devil Hound was caught off guard and was knocked to the side. It bounced back on the wall of the cave, its legs facing the sky.
“Wangwu!” Cyberlas rolled and stood up again. He shook his head and fell into a berserk state. It hadn’t suffered such a huge loss since it was born.
However, as a rank five Abyss Devil creature, Cyberlus was also very smart. Looking at the excited hill, a trace of cunning flashed in its eyes. It quickly caught up to the hill from behind. Its two heads lowered at the same time and bit towards the hill giant’s ankles.
“Pu!” The small hill pushed down the golden mountain and the jade pillar. Its huge body fell to the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust in the cave.
“Whoosh!” Feeling the pain in his ankle, the hill raised its upper body, clenched its fists, and punched Cyberus.
“Bang!” The little hill punched Cyberus on the head with its fist, making a dull explosion.
‘”Awoo ~ ~” The two behemoths let out a miserable howl at the same time.
Cyberus’ body trembled. The dog that bit the hill spat out a mouthful of blood. He couldn’t help but let go of his mouth and staggered backwards. His limbs went limp and he crawled on the ground. One eye of the head that had been hit had already exploded, leaving a deep pit at the corner of his forehead. His dark brown skin was covered in cracks, and fiery red magma seeped out.
The small hill giant was also in a difficult situation. The ankle and palm of the giant that had been sprayed with dog blood were charred black, emitting a fishy stench of green smoke.
Although the hill giant had magical immunity, it was only aimed at magical elements and laws created by mages’ spiritual energy. The blood magma in the Hellfire Devil Dog’s body was not only fire elementium, it was also a material form. This kind of damage could not be exempted.
“Humph!” Seeing that the hill and Cyberus were both injured, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He turned around and kicked out with his legs, kicking the skeletons on the ground to pieces.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” The small hill was once again furious, and it jumped up from the ground and pounced towards Qin Lun. Compared to Cyberus, the burns he suffered were only skin and flesh wounds, not bones, and did not affect his ability to move.
Seeing this, the Hellfire Devil Dog on the other side also struggled to prop up its body and pounced towards the small hill like lightning. Although the injured head was still hanging limply in front of his chest, unable to move, the other intact head revealed a fierce glint as it fiercely bit the injured leg of the hill.
The small hill fell to the ground once again in helplessness. He could only raise his fist, hoping to repel the Hellfire Devil Hound again.
However, Cyberlus had experienced the power of a hill giant once, so how could he be struck a second time? The moment Yu Guang saw his fist, he immediately let go of his big mouth. He pushed his four limbs and nimbly flashed his fists. Then, he pounced on the small hill and bit at its throat. The two behemoths rolled on the ground and roared.
“Bang, bang, bang!” Qin Lun didn’t dare to let Cyberus fight alone this time. The Light and Dark Burial immediately loaded the precious purple armor piercing bullets and aimed at the injured ankle of the hill to release the firepower.
At this moment, the two of them and the dog in the battle did not notice that there was a human figure lying in ambush in the woods outside the cave, quietly observing them.
