The Death List Novel - Chapter 215

Chapter 215 Tear Off One’s Disguise

The longbow in Qing Ming’s hand resembled the Scottish longbow of the Middle Ages. This longbow was made of golden orange wood. This wood was hard and elastic, and it was a dark gold-quality equipment material. The bowstring was a rare Earthdragon tendon, and it stood more than 1.7 meters away from her.

After lifting the longbow, Qing Ming’s cold eyes revealed a trace of concentration. He tilted his head slightly and pressed the finger that was holding the arrow feather against his lips. The green threads in his ears fluttered gently. Other than his target, there was nothing else in his pupils. High concentration is the most basic quality of an excellent archer.

“Peng!” With a slight bow string sound, a black bolt of lightning seemed to flash past the dim cave. Immediately after, an earth-shattering howl sounded. The originally cowering little hill giant suddenly fell to the ground with its ankles crossed.

Qin Lun’s pupils constricted when he looked at it. On the ankle of the small hill, where a bloody hole had been broken, there was a long arrow of fine iron stabbed into it, trembling. The iron arrow pierced through the bloody hole and pierced into the joint of the foot bone and tibia.

Qing Ming’s arrow was triangular in shape. The back of the arrow had sharp wings. Once it entered the flesh, it would barb the muscle fibers and tendons. A pullout is a piece of meat, which can even break blood vessels and tendons, causing continuous damage.

If it was shot into the bone and joint like this, there would be no way to pull it out at will except for surgery. Otherwise, the limb’s function would definitely be crippled. Although most of the injuries on the hill giant’s ankle were due to Qin Lun, Qing Ming’s stunning arrow still left a deep impression on him.

In comparison, Qing Ming did not pay much attention to his battle results. In the eyes of the female elves, this was an inevitable result.

She stretched her left hand behind her back without any pause, pulled out another long arrow and placed it on the longbow. She drew the bowstring at a constant speed, and when the longbow was pulled to the full moon, the knuckles that were holding the arrow feathers also touched the corners of her lips.

What an elegant way to fight! However, in such an active battle, she is trying to snatch damage points from me! The smile on Qin Lun’s face did not diminish, but his heart trembled slightly. He immediately understood Qing Ming’s intentions.

“Good archery!” Qin Lun smiled and praised, “I originally wanted to sneak into the cave to find some spoils of war while the adult giants were gone. However, I was discovered by this small hill and stuck in the cave … I thought that today was a bad day, but I didn’t expect that I would be so lucky. Not only did I see such a beautiful lady, I also saw such superb archery!”

“Peng!” Hearing such a naked compliment coming from the enemy’s mouth, Qing Ming shook his hand. The iron arrow flew past the ears of the hill and missed the target. He immediately raised his head and said coldly, “Do you want me to fight alone with so much nonsense?”

“Ah? Oh!” Qin Lun woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream. He scratched his silver hair embarrassedly, and a flush appeared on his face. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

“Humph!” Qing Ming glanced at him and ignored the youth. He focused his attention on the longbow again. However, a strange feeling arose in his heart and he couldn’t help but suspect his previous guess.

Was this person really an apostle? Whether it is or not, my arrow will clarify everything for me! Qing Ming shook his head and drove the unnecessary thoughts out of his mind. He concentrated on reentering the battle.

The small hill had long since lost its fighting spirit when it encountered a pincer attack from both sides. He only used his arms to cover his head and face, buried his head in front of his chest, and lay on the ground, his rope trembling as he let out a loud howl. From time to time, the howl was mixed with some ancient Luman Mountain Forest dialect. The syllables were all the same, so they should be calling Mom.

Unfortunately, the adult hill giants were lured far away by Hansen and the others. Moreover, their battle location was inside the cave, and the sound insulation effect was good. Otherwise, it would really bring some trouble to the other side of the battlefield. Perhaps the adult hill giant would escape from its trap and run back to its nest while it was mad.

Qin Lun’s eyes flickered as he opened fire. He unknowingly slowed down the pace of the attack and slowly retreated. As for Cyberus, he had already stopped attacking under the command of his master. He just arched his body and stood guard in front of Qin Lun.

Qin Lun’s movements were very concealed. His steps back were very short, almost one inch at a time. His arm trembled as he opened fire, making people think that it was because of the recoil of the firearm. The angle at which he shot was a bit incomprehensible. One shot from the left and one shot from the right did not have a fixed area of damage. A few bullets could only leave a mark on the hill giant’s skin, not even able to scratch it.

In contrast, Qing Ming’s attacks were extremely well-organized. Most of her attacks landed on a few parts of the hill giant’s body. Although some of the arrows were subconsciously blocked by the hill giant, there were still a few bloody holes in the target’s body, steadily and continuously weakening the hill giant’s vitality.

However, their attacks had unknowingly created an illusion for the hill giant. That was, Qin Lun’s attacks were extremely weak, and the damage to it was relatively small.

As a result, the small hill subconsciously crawled towards Qin Lun and went deeper into the cave. Moreover, every time Qing Ming attacked, it would feel unbearable pain. The hill giant would constantly twist its body to avoid being hit by the female elves on the same body part.

This result caused Qing Ming to move left, right, and middle, looking for a better shooting point. Unknowingly, he was also brought into the cave by the hill giant and slowly left the cave entrance. Of course, the cave itself was only ten meters deep, and Qing Ming was only two to three meters away from the entrance of the cave.

The third arrow, the fourth arrow … It’s about time! Qin Lun looked at the hill giant whose body was covered in wounds and arrows. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Actually, apart from the huge bloody hole in the hill giant’s ankle, the other wounds on its body weren’t deep. Many long arrows and bullets were only able to pierce through its skin and were caught by its muscles.

However, there were too many wounds on its body, and its entire body was bleeding. Almost every place it climbed, there were pools of blood. Its life aura was getting weaker and weaker, and it was gradually dying.

Qin Lun suddenly stopped shooting and took out three different scarlet bullets from his bosom. One shot was filled with the wheel of the Devil’s Song. This was the Dark Gold Bullet attached to the Light and Dark Burial. There were still eight rounds left. Since he had not personally manufactured it, he could only manually load it.

“Bang, bang, bang!” The black and white spears each fired three bullets. The Demon Song fired a dark gold high explosive bullet, and the Angel’s Praise fired an armor piercing bullet.

Six bullets streaked through the air with beautiful light, and three dark gold high explosive bullets hit the purple armor piercing bullets. The powerful explosive power contained within the bullet almost turned the armor piercing bullet into a bolt of lightning that pierced through the gap in the hill giant’s palm and into its chest.

‘”Wow ~ ~” The hill giant that was crawling on the ground jumped up like an electric shock. He covered his chest with both hands and let out an earth-shattering roar. A blood arrow shot out from between his fingers.

The three armor piercing bullets collided back and forth like marbles, piercing through the hill giant’s tough muscles for the first time, shooting the bullet at its forefront into its heart and lungs.

Originally, due to the difference in attack power between Qin Lun and Qing Ming, the hill giant subconsciously turned its body towards Qin Lun and its butt towards Qing Ming. However, after these three armor piercing bullets, the hill giant stood up and instinctively turned in Qing Ming’s direction.

“Good opportunity!” Seeing that the hill giant was heavily injured, he turned towards him and released the defenses of the opposite door. A trace of divine light flashed past Qing Ming’s eyes. He took a deep breath. His long hair on his ponytail and sideburns automatically moved without any wind. The movements of his hand that drew the arrow suddenly accelerated, leaving behind afterimages in the air.

“Peng!” As soon as the bow string sounded, the hill giant’s right eye had an iron arrow. As the blood flew out of his eyes, the hill giant let out a long howl and was forcefully swallowed back, falling to the ground with its body stiff. Although his chest was still rising and falling, his aura of life quickly weakened and he was truly on the verge of death.

After firing this arrow, Qing Ming’s face turned pale. He panted for a few breaths and revealed a trace of satisfaction. However, just as he raised his head, he saw Qin Lun’s smile. His heart twitched fiercely and he sank down.

“You are an apostle!” Qing Ming took a deep breath and said with a serious expression.

“Not bad!” Qin Lun smiled and nodded. As he spoke, he pounced towards Qing Ming. “Miss Qing Ming has been following me for two days. Isn’t it just for the confirmation of this moment?”

“Hmph, I didn’t expect you to hide so deeply!” A flush appeared on Qing Ming’s cheeks, and a trace of anger flashed across his face. After this battle, she had slowly eliminated Qin Lun’s suspicions and treated him as a storyline character.

“However, it’s too late for you to reveal your identity now, isn’t it? The main mission of the Source of Strength should have already failed, right?”

Qing Ming calmly drew his bow and arrow, shooting towards Qin Lun who was soaring into the air. The moment the arrow disappeared from his hand, the corner of his eyes flashed backwards. He discovered that he was only two to three meters away from the entrance of the cave. He heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to fly without hesitation.

“Haha, my timing is perfect, but Miss Qing Ming is a little late!”

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up, and a silver mirror-like pentagram suddenly appeared beneath his feet. He stepped into the air, and with the sound of the silver mirror shattering, his body slightly tilted, and he staggered the long arrows.

At the same time, the young man who was still in the air clasped his hands together, and a ripple of Laws suddenly rippled through the cave. The ground at the entrance of the cave suddenly burst out with tender buds of many plants. These tender buds broke through the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, countless python-like vines were waving in the air as they charged towards Qing Ming.
