The Death List Novel - Chapter 220
Chapter 220 Beast King Hunting Bow
“Brother, hurry up and come!”
“Xiao Mei, don’t go there. Auntie said you can’t play with water!”
“Hehe, big brother, come down quickly, it’s so cool!”
“Xiao Mei, come back, quickly come back. Aiya, don’t spill it on me, don’t spill it …”
‘”Don’t” Qin Lun shook his head and slowly opened his eyes. He saw Cyberus’s two dog heads leaning in front of him, sticking out his scarlet tongue and licking his face.
“Cyberlus, did I just lose consciousness?” Qin Lun pushed away the Hellfire Devil Hound’s head and wiped the saliva off his face with his sleeve. His expression was a little confused as he looked around blankly.
Because the entrance of the cave was covered by giant vines, sunlight could not enter, and the entire cave was dark. Although it didn’t affect his elven vision, this sort of environment, which was like a black prison, made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
After the initial eruption of the snake vine, there was no magic power left to maintain it, and it was already showing signs of withering.
Qin Lun took a few steps forward and arrived in front of Qing Ming’s corpse. He crouched down and pulled out the Evil Dagger from her heart.
Qing Ming lay on the ground, his eyes closed, his head resting on his arms. The purple ponytail spread out, covering half of her cheeks, revealing a thin neck that was flawless like a swan. The female elf’s originally cold and frosty face now looked gentle and serene, like the girl next door who was sleeping soundly.
Looking at this stubborn female apostle, Qin Lun’s heart trembled slightly. The price of an apostle’s defeat was his life. Today’s Qing Ming might be a reflection of his future. One day, he would die in an unknown corner of an alien world in obscurity.
The intelligent races of the shattered starry sky only saw the scenery on the surface of the apostles, but they did not know what they would have to experience in the mission world. No wonder the entertainment venues in the Corner of the Abyss were so prosperous. Walking on the edge of life and death all year round, even normal people would probably turn crazy.
Perhaps the God Devil Apostles that had disappeared in ancient times had given up their lives because they couldn’t stand this kind of life!
Even if it was his own team of murderers, it would still be like this! The Sars had clearly suspected that the three of them were using them, but they still held that last pitiful hope and pursued an illusory friendship and loyalty. Didn’t Hansen and Hill risk everything to improve themselves just because their hearts were filled with danger?
Qin Lun stood up with an indifferent expression. He took out a bandage from his storage space and wrapped it around his neck. There was a deep scar on it that almost cut off his trachea and cervical spine. If it weren’t for Qing Ming’s final moments, his magic power would no longer be able to maintain the Wind Blade Technique, and this battle would probably have ended together.
“Cyberus, tear open the cave entrance!” Qin Lun sat softly on the ground. He hadn’t recovered his strength yet, so he had to wait for the medicine to slowly take effect.
Seeing that his master had regained consciousness, Cyberus wagged his tail happily and pounced on the vine wall at the entrance of the cave, tearing and biting.
Most summoned creatures relied on their masters’ magic power to support them. Before reaching a certain level, once their masters died, they would also die. Just like a pile of black crystals not far from Qing Ming, they were the remains of the Dark Crystal Rock Crab. As Qing Ming died, his soul also disappeared, directly disintegrating.
While Cyberus was destroying the vine wall, Qin Lun searched the surroundings, but he didn’t see a bloody Magic Cube that had a certain chance of falling from the scene of the slaughter. Just as Qin Lun thought that there would be no more gains, something that Qing Ming had suppressed attracted his attention.
“Eh? Why is this thing still here?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and flipped Qing Ming’s corpse over. He picked up the Scottish longbow and quiver beneath her.
Logically speaking, after the apostles died, their equipment would disappear, and the spoils of war would be gathered in the bloody Magic Cube in the shattered starry sky, waiting for the victor to extract them. However, now, it seemed that the Narsley world was different.
Qin Lun calmed down and immediately sank his consciousness into the death list. He inquired about this information, and then began to flip through Qing Ming’s corpse.
The world of Narsley was indeed different for items dropped after the slaughter of the apostles. After the apostles died here, all the equipment items on their bodies would be preserved. However, some of the Laws in the equipment items would be degraded. The degree of degradation was proportional to the Laws of Fragmentation possessed by the equipment.
In other words, if the equipment was a reward item for shattering the starry sky and possessed 100% shattering laws, then it would directly turn into rubbish. If it was forged from equipment materials in the shattered starry sky, then the quality would drop to a certain extent. For example: from dark gold to purple, purple to blue and so on.
Only the unique treasures directly produced by the mission worlds had the lowest degradation, and some equipment would remain the same. As for the skills and bloodlines of the losers, they would become spoils of war in another form.
Qin Lun quickly finished checking his harvest. After Qing Ming died, there were two pieces of equipment left to use.
One was her dark golden longbow, the Beast King Hunting Bow, and the quiver that came with it. This longbow was very simple. The bowed body and arrows were engraved with elegant runes. The middle part of the bowed body was embedded with a vertical-eyed gem. The other was a leather armor that had degenerated into purple and had a big hole in its chest-the “Athlete Leather Armor”.

Looking at the Beast King Hunting Bow, Qin Lun suddenly realized that Qing Ming’s combat profession should be the Beast King Hunter he wanted to be. The reason why this Dark Gold longbow was able to retain its Dark Gold quality was probably because she had incorporated the “gift for adults” of the inaugural mission into the hunting bow, namely, the Eye of the Earth Dragon (voucher of the Beast King), the skin of the Earth Dragon, and the bones of the Earth Dragon.
As for the other “Athlete Leather Armor”, due to the serious damage, the death list showed “Unidentified”, only known to be purple quality. After returning to the shattered starry sky and spending some resource points, they would be able to repair and use it again.
Apart from these two pieces of equipment, there was also a piece of skin the size of a palm on Qing Ming’s waist that emitted a blurry light. Upon closer inspection, it was filled with mysterious runes. It was one of her bow skills-bow dance.
Kill and destroy corpses! Qin Lun sighed inwardly. The arrangement of shattering the starry sky was extremely cold. It was truly a world that only murderers could adapt to.
Just as Qin Lun was about to make a move, a string of beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and his face turned slightly green.
“No, Joey, I can’t. I don’t have time for you to do that right now …”
“That’s right, that’s your domain … But this elf was hunted by me alone, without your help …”
Qin Lun’s eyes were tightly closed, and his lips trembled slightly. After a while, he calmed down. He opened his eyes and let out a light breath. Joey backed down. Thinking that Qing Ming hadn’t personally hunted him down, the [Decomposer] immediately lost its interest in making art.
After putting away the human skin that was inscribed with the bow dance technique, Qin Lun turned around and walked towards the hill giant that was crawling on the ground, already as stiff as iron.
The little fellow had already swallowed his last breath. His cloudy eyes carried a trace of longing. His eyes were filled with tears, and his ugly face twisted into a ball. He looked like he had died in pain.
The hill giant’s skin, bones, and organs are all good equipment materials, especially its heart and a backbone plate in its hunchback. The former was an excellent magical material, while the latter was a rare protective component, at least of purple quality and above.
However, now that his heart had been damaged by Qin Lun, its value had greatly decreased, and the hill giant’s skin and muscles were as stiff as iron. It would take at least half an hour to dig out these two items. Qin Lun didn’t dare to risk staying here for such a long time, so he could only give up these benefits.
The death of the small hill giant had completely ruined Qin Lun’s original hunting plan. His damage to the small hill was not as great as Qing Ming’s. Of course, he could not be considered to have completed his inaugural mission. However, Qin Lun’s main mission, “Source of Strength”, had succeeded.
This had nothing to do with the small hill giant, but rather with the team’s contribution to hunting down the adult hill giant. Although Qin Lun did not participate in the battle, his servant Frank could replace him. Frank had already completed the main line of his own trials. The credit for this mission was attributed to Qin Lun, but the completion rate could only meet the minimum requirements.
In a dark cave, a warm ray of sunlight suddenly appeared. Qin Lun turned around and narrowed his eyes. He discovered that Cyberus had finally dug through the vine wall at the entrance of the cave.
Qin Lun breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to step out of the cave, the corner of his eyes was flashed by a faint reflection from a corner of the cave. He was instantly stunned.
He turned around and saw that the reflective object was right under a skeleton. It was one of the skeletons he had destroyed in order to anger the small hill. Thinking back to his harvest on Qing Ming’s corpse, Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. He walked towards the scattered bones and began to examine them carefully.
Very quickly, some tattered items appeared in his hands, and a few blood-red glass beads were even more eye-catching. These were the legacies of the nameless skeletons. They had basically degenerated into scattered equipment materials and were no longer complete equipment.
However, this allowed Qin Lun to return empty-handed instead of going deep into the tiger’s den. As for the blood droplets, they were similar to vengeful soul balls. They were probably the prey souls of the hill giants. The soul power within the blood bead surged, and when combined, it was likely that there wouldn’t be hundreds of souls left behind.
