The Death List Novel - Chapter 249

Chapter 249 Black Scaled Beast

“Looks like you have enough confidence!” Qin Lun covered his arms and smiled.

Unlike high-level apostles, high-level apostles had thick blood, high defense, and endless means of survival, so it was difficult to be killed abruptly. As for the beginner apostles, their health wasn’t high, and their battles were extremely dangerous. Even if their professions were opposed, they would still have a certain chance of being overturned. This was also the main reason why most of the junior apostles refused to surrender and chose to fight to the death.

The ability of the summoner on the other side was not weak. Under such circumstances, he clearly believed that Qin Lun would never have the chance to turn the tables again. In order to reduce the loss of the summoned items, he would speak out to persuade Qin Lun to surrender.

After a summoned object dies, it can be revived by consuming broken crystals. However, this will take a certain amount of time. It was already the last round of the selection. After the selection, he would participate in the official city competition. No wonder he was anxious to lose the summoned items.

“Hmph, although the Black Scaled Beast is only a Tier 3 beast, its scales are not something that ordinary bullets can pierce through. Since the black and white guns in your hands can pierce through the defense of the Black Scaled Beast, they are at least dark gold guns. As far as I know, the bullets consumed by the dark gold guns are not a small amount. Why waste the broken crystals to tangle with me to the end?”

Oddo leaned against a stone pillar and leisurely toyed with the staff in his hand. “If it was an ordinary low-level summoner, perhaps you could kill them all. Unfortunately, the Black Scaled Beast was not a beast in essence, but an insect. One had to know that the life force of an insect was very strong. “Now that the Black Scaled Beast has completed its encirclement of you, I have never seen an Elementary Apostle break through their obstruction and come to my side.”

“Then you can see it today!” In Qin Lun’s clockwork eyes, the hand slightly jumped and looked around.

The apostle on the other side did not lie. The orange-red light that had originally been scattered around him had now surrounded him. Only after receiving no orders from their master did they hide behind the stone pillars.

“Haha, don’t regret it. I’m looking forward to hearing your miserable scream!” A trace of anger flashed in Oddo’s eyes as he raised his staff high up and a trace of the fluctuations of Laws flashed across the arena.

“Hiss!” Along with Oddo’s movements, more than twenty Black Scaled Beasts that had been hiding around Qin Lun appeared one after another. Their thick and short limbs quickly crawled and pounced towards Qin Lun.

Qin Lun’s expression tightened, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes. It wasn’t that he couldn’t kill all of the twenty Black Scaled Beasts, but that he had to consider the cost-effectiveness ratio.

He was afraid of the corrosive blood of these Black Scaled Beasts, and Cyberlus, as a Hellfire Devil Hound, was not afraid. However, there were too many Black Scaled Beasts, and Cyberlus could not completely stop them. If he suffered too much damage, even if he broke through the Black Scaled Beast’s encirclement, he would probably lose this battle. That summoner definitely wouldn’t have only the Black Scaled Beast’s trump card.

Of course, Qin Lun could also use magic scrolls. Not only did he possess earth-type defensive magic scrolls, he also possessed a Tier 7 Wooden Prison Totem. Trapping the Black Scaled Beast for a short period of time and approaching the Summoner would definitely not be a problem.

However, before the battle for supremacy in the city officially started, he had to consume a few magic scrolls. Obviously, this was not a good sign. Moreover, if he had a magic scroll, the summoners on the other side might not be gone. This was also not a good idea.

With that in mind, Qin Lun did not hesitate any longer. He flipped his hands and inserted the Light and Darkness Funeral Guard back into the holster. He took out a chain with iron claws from his bosom and threw it towards the stone pillar behind him.

“Clang!” The hook claw at the front of the chain was deeply embedded in the top of the stone pillar. Qin Lun grabbed the chain and nimbly climbed towards the top of the stone pillar. This hook-claw chain was a blue piece of equipment that Qin Lun had specially purchased from the half-plane trading market.

This piece of equipment does not have any physical attributes, nor does it have any self-contained skills. The hook claws made from the claws of the Iron Thorned Bird were extremely sharp, and the Silver Burmese Iron Chains they were tied to were extremely tough, so it was not easy to break them.

The city war was going on in Atlantis, so having such a hook-clawed chain that could climb to the wall would naturally be of great help to Qin Lun. Therefore, even though the seller had opened his mouth and wanted to take away all three of his fusion crystals, Qin Lun still pinched his nose and bought them.

However, he hadn’t expected that he would directly use this blue claw chain in the internal selection contest of the Evil Demon Horn.

“Eh, this thing is not bad!” Oddo, who was leaning against the stone pillar, closed his eyes to rest, and let out a soft cry, a trace of surprise appearing on his face. He slightly paused his staff and the Black Scaled Beast that had pounced on the stone pillar immediately stopped moving. It only quietly surrounded the stone pillar.

His spirit and magic power were extremely powerful, and his perception was slightly weaker. However, as a professional summoner, perception was not an important attribute. He could share his vision with his summoned creatures. He could naturally see what the Black Scaled Beast could feel.

Oddo was indeed arrogant, but that didn’t mean he was an idiot. As soon as Qin Lun took out his claw chain, he immediately realized how important this thing was in the Holy City of Atlantis.

“Friend, let me discuss this with you! If you lose, I can return half of the broken crystals in the invitation letter or ask you to redeem the mortgaged equipment for half the price. However, you won’t be able to go to Atlantis anyway. Give this blue claw chain to me, okay?” Oddo shouted in Qin Lun’s direction.

“You want my blue claw chain? This guy isn’t a complete idiot!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he smiled and muttered to himself, “Looks like that thing is destined to be mine!”

Using the Wild Card to persevere until now, the invitations had accumulated nearly 50,000 broken crystals. The apostles who held the card invitation letter had to mortgage 50,000 broken crystals or equipment items that exceeded this value in the invitation letter before entering the selection venue.

Of course, the broken crystals in the invitation couldn’t be returned. Oddo could only trade them to Qin Lun through the soul contract. Half of the amount was 25,000 broken crystals. If it was at normal times, they could buy five or six of these claw chains at this price. And now, even if there was such claw chain equipment on the market, Oddo didn’t have time to go to Taobao.

Getting the claw chain from Qin Lun was the easiest and quickest way, compared to 25,000 broken crystals, it wasn’t worth mentioning. Moreover, when Qin Lun bought this claw chain, he had spent three fusion crystals. The price was not much lower than 25,000 broken crystals.

“If you want my claw chain, you can trade it for your staff. Whoever wins will not only take the invitation, but also hand over the equipment. How about it?” Qin Lun replied with a cold smile.

“You want my staff?” Oddo frowned slightly and then said indifferently, “My staff is dark gold quality. This transaction is impossible!”

“What if I add this piece of equipment?” Qin Lun smiled and took off his Earth Dragon Lizard leather armor to show it to the Black Scaled Beast beneath the stone pillar.

“Purple Gold Leather Armor!” Oddo exclaimed. He lowered his head and looked at the dark golden staff in his hand with a gloomy expression. “The purple golden leather armor and the dark golden weapon in his hand are already two pieces of dark golden equipment! This apostle shouldn’t lack shattered crystals, so he probably still has at least one or two magic scrolls in his hand. The Black Scaled Beast alone may not be able to defeat him!”

Qin Lun’s actions caused the Summoner to feel great pressure. He suddenly realized that the archer in front of him might not have exaggerated before. Perhaps he would have the means to break through the Black Scaled Beast’s encirclement and get close to him.

The archer was only fighting for breath, but he still knew the value of this Dark Gold Staff in my hand! Oddo’s expression was a little gloomy. This dark gold staff was very special, and to him, it was no less than a second life.

However, the Summoner quickly shook his head. The staff was bought for him by Tian Fu’s rookie guild leader. The original owner was a mid-sized guild leader who was also affiliated with the Apostle Filling Tombstone.

The Guild Leader once said that this Dark Gold Staff was a world treasure. It had been less than two months since he had obtained the staff and completed the transaction. He had not really made a move, and not many people had even seen the staff. The apostle on the other side was obviously not a member of that medium-sized guild, so the chances of seeing this staff were extremely low.

“Hey, why is there no sound? Aren’t you shouting for me to surrender? Do you want me to take off this leather armor first and let you have a little!” A provocation from his opponent came from the shared vision of the summoned creature. Qin Lun shook his Earth Dragon Lizard armor at the Black Scaled Beast. His face was full of ridicule, and his appearance was simply unbeatable.

“Alright, we have nothing to say. We will sign a soul contract!” Oddo’s eyes flashed with a fierce light as he shouted viciously.

Immediately after, the two of them contacted the shattered starry sky through the Apostle Soul Seal, sending out soul contracts to their opponents. The contract stipulated that the winner of this duel would not only receive an invitation letter from the opponent, but would also be able to take away the equipment items limited in the soul contract.

If Qin Lun won, Oddo would lose the Dark Gold Staff in his hand, and if Oddo won, he would naturally obtain the blue claw chain and the Earth Dragon Lizard leather armor.

He really did sign it! Qin Lun sighed slightly, knowing that the Summoner on the other side probably hadn’t crossed many mission worlds. His mood was high, but he hadn’t received too many setbacks.

Judging from the broken crystals that he still had the strength to return the invitation letter, he was not the same as himself. This summoner should be a rookie apostle raised by a large team. His talent is not bad, but it’s a pity that he was unable to cultivate his ability to change. Only by plucking off his gorgeous feathers would he know what it meant to call a feathered phoenix inferior to a chicken!

Thinking of this, Qin Lun lowered his head and looked at the Black Scaled Beast that was beginning to climb beneath the stone pillar. With a flash, he lost his figure from the stone pillar. When he reappeared, he was already standing at the top of another stone pillar not far from him.

In the distance, Oddo was slightly shocked. The twenty or so Black Scaled Beasts immediately turned around and rushed towards the stone pillar again.

“Haha!” Qin Lun smiled and disappeared again. His target this time was the tallest stone pillar in the middle of the arena.

However, this stone pillar was thirty feet tall, and the Gale Steps could not leap to the top of the stone pillar. Its figure appeared in mid-air. Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. He shook his claw chain and dug deep into the stone pillar. Then, he pulled it and leapt onto the top of the pillar.

Oddo’s face slowly darkened, although he could change his hiding place at any time, and the arena was covered with stone pillars, blocking his view. However, it was still such a big place. If Qin Lun continued searching like this, he would be exposed sooner or later.

“Looks like melee combat is inevitable!” A cold light flashed in Oddo’s eyes. He bit his lips and raised his staff. A tall and healthy creature slowly appeared in front of him.

The creature had a swarthy black and shiny exoskeleton. Its head was extremely long, and the back of its head was streamlined to the back. It was still one head taller than Oddo, with its legs propped up. The vertebrae on his back had been penetrating out of his body, dragging out an exoskeleton tail that was more than three meters long. The end of the tail was sharp like a sharp cone, as sharp as a knife.

If Qin Lun was also here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that this creature was exactly the same as a battle creature that the Earth Federation had encountered in the alien domain.

This was an adult alien!
