The Death List Novel - Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Battle Of The Elves

Facing the sweeping snake vines, Qing Ming raised his eyebrows, pointed his toes on a thick vine, and somersaulted backwards in the air to avoid the attack.

By the time she landed, the vines in front of her had completely grown, almost as thick as an adult’s arm. These vines tangled together to form a thick vine wall, blocking the entrance of the originally spacious cave.

Facing this scene, Qing Ming’s expression darkened completely. He turned around and looked at the youth who was pouring nutrient liquid into his mouth.

“With your strength, it’s impossible for you to create something out of nowhere. This is a wood-type spell that borrows plant seeds! Did you expect me to interfere in your battle?” Qing Ming asked expressionlessly.

Qin Lun’s face was somewhat pale. The entrance of the hill giant’s cave was six meters high and four meters wide. In order to seal such a large area, he used all seven Giant Snake Vine seeds at once, almost emptying all of his energy in his body.

“Haha, it’s just a little trick. If you don’t come in, they can only guarantee that the main mission will not be snatched away by the spies. If you follow in, it’s a trap to prevent you from escaping.” The smile on Qin Lun’s face grew brighter and brighter. He casually threw away the bottle of Silvermycin, and it was empty.

Qing Ming originally had a good impression of the polite Qin Lun, but now he only felt that the smile on his face was extremely annoying. He wished he could tear that face off in one go.

The female elf shook the longbow in her hand and said coldly, “I want to see where your confidence comes from and can keep me here.”

Qin Lun smiled and shook his head. “I admit that you are stronger than me. We are both elven bloodlines. The terrain of the forest cancels each other out. The longbow has a longer range than the pistol. If you don’t enter the cave, you will be invincible regardless of whether you can kill me or not. Unfortunately …”

“What a pity. Even at this distance, the pistol’s firing speed is higher than the bow and arrow’s. Do you think you can beat me steadily?” Qing Ming glanced at Cyberlas, who was eyeing Qin Lun covetously, with a trace of mockery on his face. “Or could it be that you relied on this Tier 5 Hellfire Devil Dog?”

A strange expression appeared on Qin Lun’s face. He no longer argued. He bent down slightly and rushed straight towards Qing Ming. He raised his hand and shot with a “bang”.

Qing Ming tilted his head and the bullet flew past her cheek. Several strands of purple hair on his temples were broken and drifted off. Seeing that Qin Lun was still unwilling to relax in such a situation, his heart instantly turned cold. He knew that Qin Lun had seen through her intentions.

Qing Ming had used a total of two bow skills in the previous battle. One was quick-fire, and the other was armor-piercing arrows that consumed a lot of mana.

Rapid fire required a lot of arm strength. Every ten arrows would stop and rest for a few seconds. Otherwise, the arm muscles would not be able to endure it, leaving behind a hidden wound was still a small matter, and the strength and accuracy of the subsequent attacks would greatly decrease, which would be the most fatal thing in battle.

The other Armor Penetrating Arrow was an apostle skill. With her current Mana Points, she could only shoot five arrows. After that, she had to wait for Mana Points to recover. Moreover, the cooldown of the skill was as long as three minutes. Mana Points can be recovered slowly with medicine, but the cooldown time is no less than a second.

She rarely used up all the armor penetrating arrows in one go, so there was bound to be one chance left for her to use as a backhand. However, in the battle just now, Qin Lun suddenly exploded. He had severely injured the hill giant, but at the same time, he had also revealed a rare flaw, luring Qing Ming to shoot out his last armor piercing arrow.

The iron arrow that pierced through the hill giant’s right eye was Qing Ming’s fifth arrow using the Armor Penetrating Arrow skill!

After being blocked by the vine wall, Qing Ming suppressed his anger and chatted with Qin Lun. In fact, he was hoping to survive the cooldown of the armor-piercing arrow. However, looking at her opponent’s current state, it was clear that she had already seen through her combat skills in battle and was unwilling to give her any time to recover.

Thinking of this, Qing Ming’s heart felt even colder. She stalked her opponent for two days and failed to find any flaws in her opponent. In the battle just now, she had originally wanted to probe her opponent’s behavior, but she was captured by someone else’s mentality of snatching away the damage points and spying on the cooldown time of the quick-fire and armor-piercing arrows.

Thinking back to the fact that the other party had used the cave as a battlefield early in the morning, she had even quietly dropped plant seeds at the entrance of the cave, sealing off her escape route.

Evidently, he had been scheming against her from the beginning. This cave was not only a cemetery for the hill giant, it was also a trap for her.

Both of them were elves. If they were in the forest and the longbow had a better range than the pistol, she would have a slight geographical advantage. Within this cave, there was no doubt that the opponent had a huge advantage, and was able to unleash the high firing speed of a pistol.

In the forest, an elven archer would lose all his land! In the past, Qing Ming simply couldn’t imagine this, but today, she finally realized what it meant to be perfect, what it meant to be seamless.

As a think tank of a mature guild, Qing Ming had seen many outstanding apostles. Calculating the cooldown time of an opponent’s skill in battle was indeed brilliant, but it wasn’t surprising! She had seen many camouflagers before, and she was surprised, but she had never taken them to heart.

However, this was the first time she had seen a conspiracy master like Qin Lun who could see through everything, tightly grasp the opponent’s mentality, and change his tactics … The person in front of her who said that he was a psychologist was underestimating him. He was simply a devil who could read minds!

I hope he is only a solo disciple, not a member of that guild …

Although he had confirmed Qin Lun’s identity as an apostle, Qing Ming was still not sure that Qin Lun, Hill, and the others belonged to the same guild. The man in front of him didn’t seem to have the slightest intention of worrying about his companions. At this time, another battlefield had undergone a new change.

Qin Lun looked strangely at Qing Ming in front of him. This elven beauty had no focus, and her face turned green and white. Sometimes she gritted her teeth, sometimes she shook her head and frowned. She was actually absent-minded in the battle.

Qin Lun’s gaze flickered as he stopped and waved his hand at Cyberlas, who was standing beside him. The Hellfire Devil Hound had been holding it back for a long time. This time, it received orders from its master and immediately pounced forward with a howl.

Feeling the strong wind, Qing Ming immediately regained his senses. His expression changed slightly. He raised his hand and placed the longbow on his arm. He pinched a strange magic seal with both of his hands, and a fluctuation of Laws immediately appeared on his body.

Within two meters of Azure Nether, a vortex-shaped black hole appeared in front of Cyberlus. A pair of giant black claws emerged from the vortex-shaped black hole. Perhaps because he felt that his master was in danger, this mysterious creature with giant claws and claws grabbed onto both sides of the black hole, abruptly tore it apart and crawled out of it.

Cyberlus was caught off guard and collided with the creature. Both of them felt as if they had been heavily injured. With a loud roar, they tumbled backwards.

The creature that Qing Ming summoned looked very similar to a strange big crab. It had a pair of giant claws and claws. Its shell was pitch black and shiny, and the other eight feet had dense barbs on them. Its eyes grew in the center of its body, shining with a faint green light. It looked somewhat ferocious and terrifying.

After seeing this summoned creature, Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He knew this creature called Dark Crystal Rock Crab. When he wanted to prepare a powerful melee meat shield for himself at the Horn of the Abyss Devils, he had already inquired about many summoned items.

Amongst the five management races, the Abyss Devils were his first choice. However, if the Abyss Devils could not satisfy his requirements, then he would turn to the Wind Elemental Race for help. Of course, he didn’t have any relationship with the Wind Elemental. Whether he could get sponsored investment or not was another matter.

The Wind Elemental Race did not have Tier 4 summoning items that met the requirements, but they were close to Earth Elemental Race cultivators and were able to purchase all kinds of cheap and practical low-tier meat shields. For example: Black Earth Giant Mite, Rock Monster, Emerald Shale Spider, Dark Crystal Rock Crab and so on.

Among them, the Emerald Shale Spider and Dark Crystal Rock Crab were the two melee meat shields that Qin Lun was satisfied with. There was no doubt about the defensive power of the Earth Elementium creatures, and the attack power and movement speed of these two creatures were quite impressive. The only drawback was that Earth Elementium creatures were too difficult to advance, and after a period of time, they would not be able to keep up with the apostles’ increase in strength.

The Dark Crystal Rock Crab in front of Qin Lun was the same as Cyberlus and the others, both rank five creatures. Cyberlas’ attack power was stronger, while Dark Crystal Rock Crab’s defense was not bad, so it could be said to be a match for him.

After the Dark Crystal Rock Crab stopped the Hellfire Devil Hound, Qing Ming relaxed slightly. When she turned around to look at her opponent, she discovered that the hateful fellow was no longer where he was, and a strong wind came from above her head.

Qing Ming suddenly raised his head and saw that Qin Lun’s hands were crossed to protect the face door. He pounced straight at her from head to foot. A cold light flashed through the female elf’s eyes. She raised her bow and arrow, pulled open the air string, and shot towards the enemy with a “zheng” sound.

There weren’t any arrows on Qing Ming’s longbow, but with the sound of the bowstring, a glowing wind blade appeared out of thin air and shot towards Qin Lun with a crescent-shaped arc.

Normally, when the female elves shot arrows, they would usually pull the longbow to 70% full to increase the power of their attacks. However, this wind blade was quickly pulled and released. The bowstring was only three points apart before it was shot out, and it was extremely swift.

At this moment, Qin Lun and Qing Ming were already very close. As soon as the wind blades shot out, they arrived right under his nose, as if he had deliberately leaned forward.

“Heh!” The smile on Qin Lun’s face did not diminish as he shouted softly. He spread his hands across his chest and twisted his waist, causing his body to spin like a top. The Angel’s Praise in his right hand brought a faint light and lightly knocked on the wind blade. It actually knocked the intangible wind blade away.

At the same time, while blocking with his right hand, the Demon Song in his left hand poked out from a strange shooting angle.

Qing Ming’s pupils constricted as he waved his right hand. The longbow swung up and he put on a strange posture. Originally, the longbow was bent on the back, and the bowstring was inside, so it was easy to shoot. But now, Qing Ming’s posture was that the bowstring was outside. Inside the bowstring, the entire bowstring shone with dazzling light.

“Ding!” The bullet collided with the bowstring made of the earth dragon tendons, producing the sound of metal striking each other.

Qing Ming’s expression turned cold. He used the bowstring as the blade and the back as the handle. It was as if he was holding a machete shaped like a crescent moon as he slashed towards Qin Lun’s back.

So what if I let you get close? Do you really think I’m just a powerless archer in close combat?

Qin Lun seemed to have eyes on his back. He bent down and twisted his left hand behind his back. The Demon Song could withstand Qing Ming’s bow blade. The Angel’s Praise in his right hand circled around his armpit and shot towards Qing Ming behind him with another’bang ‘.

In the next few seconds, the two of them seemed to be dancing a gypsy campfire dance with a tacit understanding. As the rabbit rose and fell, the bullet and the bow knife each swept past the vital parts of their bodies by a millimeter. Within a radius of three feet, they left behind numerous afterimages of the arc of light, like the scythe radiance of a god of death harvesting souls.
