The Death List Novel - Chapter 222
Chapter 222 Chase And Flee
“Hehe, Randy, I thought it was just a formality, but I didn’t expect that I would actually see a good show!” The naked man with the saber on his shoulder said lazily to the mage companion.
“Mm, Cassie wasn’t wrong. Those guys are really interesting!” The mage’s low voice came from his hood.
“However, isn’t it a bit too much for Cassie to recruit them into the rookies?” The bareheaded man kicked Sass’s corpse. His muscles flowed like mercury, giving off a charming and robust appearance in the sunlight. “There’s no lack of wit and decisiveness. However, it’s a bit too cold to treat his companions like abandoned children. He’s not a good team member!”
‘”Hmph, so what? The Black Iron Branch is like this. If you want to survive, you have to resort to whatever means you can! Think back to when we were in the Black Iron Branch, who hasn’t experienced such a thing? Don’t tell me you don’t have the blood of your companions!” The mage sneered and glanced at his companion.
“Haha! I’m just saying it!” The burly man scratched his head and smiled awkwardly as he walked towards the corpse of the hill giant. “Hey, why didn’t the pursuing party even pack up the spoils of war? Did they really think that no other apostles would have come here to take advantage of us? If it weren’t for us … haha!”
“Hmph, it’s not that they’re not tidying up, they might be fainting from anger!” The mage raised his hand, rubbed his chin, and muttered, “… Those two elves should have already decided the outcome. It’s probably the kid Cassie fancied who won!”
The naked man casually waved his huge saber and a sharp whistle sounded in the air. Even the wet mud on the ground, which had not yet dried up, was ploughed out by the wind. “Should we catch up now? Or …”
“Bullshit, no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat. The two of us have helped those fellows sweep the formation for so long, so we still need to collect some commission!” The mage said unhappily. After hesitating for a moment, he added, “With Cassie there, there won’t be any problem. Moreover, the process here is too fast, and it’s different from the original schedule. If we go there too early, it will be counterproductive!”
After the mage finished speaking, he gently raised his hand and snapped his finger with a large ruby ring on his left hand.
A small whirlwind appeared in front of him and whistled Sass into the air. The corpse rolled in the whirlwind as if it was being manipulated by an invisible palm. The items of equipment that could still be used on the corpse fell one after another, and then they were wrapped in a tornado as they flew towards the mage until they were completely submerged in the wide sleeves of the magic robe.
“Hey, Randy, your Master-level Tornado Technique is still so pleasing to the eye!” The burly man turned his horse-chopping saber, and a light flashed in his lazy eyes. The giant horse-chopping saber in his hand was as light and agile as a knife and fork for dinner.
“Cut the crap! Hurry up and work! Aaron, do you want me, a mage, to skin a Tier 8 Hill Giant?” The mage unhappily paused his staff and glared at his companion angrily.
“OK, OK, respected Great Magician Randy, humble Aaron, I’m at your service!” The burly man looked up at the sky and laughed, squinting his eyes as he walked towards the hill giant.
When he arrived in front of the hill giant, his smiling face had already disappeared, and his lazy eyes shone brightly.
The giant saber, along with his right arm, flickered slightly, instantly losing its body, as if it had suddenly become a one-armed man. However, countless whip-like shadows suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Alright!” Two seconds later, Aaron’s right arm reappeared. The giant saber was used as a shield and carefully blocked in front of him. He even bent down slightly and retracted his head.
The mage’s expression suddenly changed when he saw him like this. He snapped his fingers again and was immediately surrounded by several whirlwinds, covering his body tightly.
At this moment, the hill giant kneeling in the middle of the empty space slowly cracked a few slits from the top of the sky to its feet, revealing the bright red flesh inside.
“Bang!” The hill giant suddenly exploded. Flesh and blood sprayed out from the thin cracks, as if a grenade had exploded in his body. In an instant, there was only a bloody skeleton left. However, the giant’s skin did not break much. After spitting out all of its flesh, it slipped like a large coat onto the ground.
Flesh and blood splashed like rain, covering the entire open space in the forest with a layer of blood. Only Aaron, who used the saber as a shield, and Randy, the mage wrapped in the tornado, survived.
“Aaron, you … this bastard!” The mage suddenly lifted his hood, revealing a skinny skeletal head.
At this moment, his eyes were flickering with a dark green flame. If not for the fact that the skin and muscles on his face had completely mummified, he would have revealed his veins by now.
“Hehe, this is faster!” The burly man regained his lazy expression and smiled playfully as he stretched out his right palm. In his palm was a gigantic heart that was like a bucket of water.
The mage raised his head and took a deep breath. He turned around and walked towards the forest. The burly man was stunned. He swept his saber across the hill. The wind of the saber swept up the skeleton and leather of the hill giant and put them into his storage space. He quickly chased after his companion.
“Hey, Randy, didn’t you say you shouldn’t go there too early? Oh ~ ~ Wait for me!”
“Shut up!”
“Alas, it’s a pity that even if we have a’road sign ‘, we can only allow three people to enter the Nars World. Otherwise, if we let Gus and the others in, we might be able to do a big job!”
“Shut up!”
“Randy, do you think the Guild Leader will be angry if we go out to do some private work on the eve of the city war? Mm-hmm, he’s magnanimous and open-minded. He’ll definitely forgive us!”
“Shut up!”
…
At this moment, not far from here, two groups of people were chasing after each other in the forest.
Hill and Hansen gasped for breath and sprinted forward. Cassie rode on the arrow beast and followed them leisurely, mocking them heartlessly.
“Hehe, you guys have nothing to do when you’re full. Are you guys playing a fight game? Can you count me in?”
“You … are you called Cassie? We’re not fighting. Those people robbed us of our spoils and are about to kill us!” Hill’s eyes lit up and he replied out of breath. Hansen, on the other hand, ran silently, ignoring the conversation between Hill and Cassie.
“Oh, really? Then they’re wrong. Do you want me to persuade them?” Cassie knitted her brows and tried to persuade him kindly.
“Haha, good! Then I really have to thank you. Tell them that we don’t want spoils of war anymore. Just let them let us go!” Hill smiled embarrassedly and cupped his hands towards Cassie.
“Tsk, you’re not a good person either! Look at them like that, how can I persuade them? Are you trying to drag me down on my back?” Cassie tilted her head, pondered for a moment, pouted, and said discontentedly.
“Hehe! No matter what, I still have to thank you for letting that rank seven ghost owl save us!” Hill raised his head and looked at the flying monkey-like vicious creature above him.
If it weren’t for this Tier 7 Ghost Owl attacking Fink and the others from time to time, they would probably have been chased by the pursuers long ago. Unfortunately, it was not dark now. Otherwise, with Ghost Owl’s Shadow Innate Skill, it would be hard to say who would chase who.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry! Who told us to be newbies? It’s only right to help each other!” Cassie smiled and waved her hand.
“Haha, that … Cassie, those people are very strong. You will also be angered if you join us. It’s best to inform Master Weimar to come over!” Hill wiped the sweat off his head and said with a smile.
“Eh, do you know my relationship with Aunt Weima?” Cassie covered her mouth and exclaimed softly, but a mocking smile flashed across her eyes.
“Haha, we accidentally saw it once!” Hill’s gaze dodged as he replied awkwardly.
“Oh, really?” Cassie gave him a meaningful look. Although Weima was his aunt, she had never been to the rookie area. Hill was obviously lying. However, the elven youth did not intend to dig deeper. He already knew what was going on in his heart.
‘”Don’t worry, I crushed the magic ornament Aunt Weima gave me earlier. It has her mark on it! Although she needs to leave the Forest of Silence today, she should be here soon with the help of the teleportation array!” Cassie raised her chin proudly.
Hansen glanced at Cassie and coldly asked Hill on the guild channel, “Interesting?”
“Hehe, very interesting!” Hill’s chuckle immediately came from the guild channel.
“Humph!” Hansen snorted coldly and turned his head away from Hill and Cassie. He looked to the left. On the left, dozens of meters away from the three of them, there was a woman stumbling through the forest.
…
Cora’s eyes were filled with tears, her chest heaved violently, and she let out a bellows-like heavy breathing sound. She had already received a notification of Sass’s death. The intense sorrow made it difficult for her to breathe, and her heart ached like a knife.
Behind her, only the thief called Yu Mo was pestering her. Cora was not afraid of this thief. The previous battle had already let her know that this thief’s lethality was not high, and his skills were biased towards stealth and exploration.
Yu Mo wasn’t in a hurry to catch up to Cora. He knew that his damage was limited. Only occasionally, he would make a move to drive her away from the other path of pursuit. As long as the battle ended over there, this woman would naturally die without a doubt.
The female police officer Esmira’s mind was filled with the thought of turning around and fighting to the death with this enemy. However, whenever this happened, Sass’s affectionate gaze and her silent spoken language would always flash in front of her.
“He wants me to live. Only by living can I have the chance to take revenge! To the enemies who killed Sass, to those despicable and shameless people …” At the thought of this, Cora felt new energy surge out of her body, supporting her as she flew forward.
“I must live!”
