The Death List Novel - Chapter 272
Chapter 272 Gather Heroes
The apostles who could participate in the battle were themselves elven apostles. It was not surprising that there were a few transcendent battle prowess abnormalities amongst the 200-odd people.
Actually, there were more than one or two freaks with cross-grade combat power in Qin Lun’s region. Even the beginner apostles were far from each other. Little fellows like Qin Lun, who had just stepped into the profession category, were far inferior to some of the apostles who were about to step into the Second Grade in terms of the quality and quantity of their profession skills.
In all seriousness, Qin Lun could be ranked as a middle rank amongst the 200-odd Elite Elite Apostles. This was also the reason why Mafa had advised him not to participate in the hegemony battle.
After all, he had only experienced four missions in the alien realm. Even if he had reaped a great harvest every time, he had only narrowed the gap between him and those ordinary beginner apostles. Compared to the other elite apostles, he was still lacking in skill and equipment.
Especially in terms of occupational skills. Although the Eye of the Clock, the Pentagram Crystal Mirror, and the Detection Aura were very powerful, they were only auxiliary skills. His real combat skills were fighting spears and three low-level spears.
If it weren’t for the powerful power of light and darkness, many of the elite apostles here would have ignored his attacks and directly fought with him. Just like the one-eyed sniper back then. The one-eyed dragon was prejudiced and believed that he was a close-combat demon warrior, which was why he lost his first hand in the gun battle and was restrained to death by him.
If it was Long Feng or the assassin who could challenge him, Qin Lun’s chances of winning would be low. Of course, this was the result of excluding the murderers from using other insidious methods.
…
“Is this the treasure map fragment they’re talking about?” A beautiful girl dressed in a white judo uniform narrowed her eyes and shone the blueprint fragment in her hand towards the sunlight. “Eh, there really are some white lines inside!”
“Cough cough, this … we can leave now!” The two apostles winked at each other and slowly retreated.
“Go, go, wait, come back for auntie!” Not long after the two of them retreated, the beautiful girl suddenly rolled her eyes and called out to the two of them.
“Miss Monroe, what else is there? We really don’t have any treasure map fragments left!” Looking at the beautiful girl with her hands on her hips and eyeing them covetously, the two apostles finally collapsed, revealing a face full of anger.
It wasn’t that the two of them didn’t have the integrity of elite apostles. Instead, the beautiful girl in judo clothes in front of them was a very peculiar Demon King level existence in their apostle city, Ba Cheng.
This eldest young miss had a big brother who was ranked in the top three of Tyrant City’s large-scale guild leaders. However, when people mentioned this Guild Leader, they had to first mention that it was Monroe’s eldest brother, not the Guild Leader of such and such a large guild. In other words, in Ba Cheng, the word Monroe was even more influential than a legendary apostle.
Outsiders would find it hard to understand the twists and turns, but if someone could gamble with someone in the Arena of the Apostolic City for years, and from the beginning of an unbeatable match to the end of a hundred victories in the same level. Moreover, if he didn’t fight five or six times a day, his entire body would itch, then he would definitely be able to reach Monroe’s level of influence.
That’s right, Monroe was such a battle maniac. As long as he was still an elementary apostle of Tyrant City, as long as they had participated in the arena, they would definitely have been defeated by this young miss. Moreover, Monroe had a bad habit. The process of winning must be from fist to flesh, and he would not let it go until he was happy.
Therefore, when the two elementary apostles of Tyrannical City saw that they were being blocked by this young miss, they immediately wanted to die. However, just as they were about to take the initiative to cancel the invitation letter, Monroe generously let them go and only asked them to hand over the treasure map fragments.
The two of them knew what was going on, so they immediately handed over the three fragments of the treasure map without even letting out a fart. However, both of them knew that besides liking to beat people up, Miss Monroe also had another bad habit. That is, you like to talk halfway, but in the end, it won’t be enough to relieve you.
“Tsk, look at your little accomplishments. There’s no future for you here.” Monroe straightened her chest. Unfortunately, her chest was calm. No matter how hard she straightened it, she couldn’t reveal any curves. “Auntie will bring you guys here today. You guys go lure those fellows with treasure map fragments here. Hehe, Auntie will play a little bigger this time!”
“Ah!” ‘”Miss Monroe, it’s our honor to have us as bait. But we really don’t know who has the treasure map, and they’re too big to be targeted!” The two Tyrant City apostles were slightly stunned and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone, “Miss Monroe, it’s our honor to have us as bait.”
“Mm-hmm, it’s fine. My aunt’s hands are itching. Five at a time, you don’t need to be too full! If you do it a few more times, you’ll definitely get something!” Monroe waved his hand with a ruffian expression, “Don’t worry, kill them and give you a bit of moisture. One more thing, five more, you two two two!”
Is this the calculation? The two apostles looked at each other expressionlessly, but their hearts quickly grew hot. They were very clear about Monroe’s strength. Of course, one against five was impossible. This was not Tyrannical City. However, with the help of the two of them, there would be no problem.
Moreover, even if Monroe took the lion’s share of the profits, with this aunt standing on top of them, their battle for supremacy would be less dangerous by more than half. It could be said that they would be able to earn no compensation. If they went somewhere else, they would look for such a good thing.
…
“Damn it, only the fifth one will give me the treasure map fragment. This is even worse than the rate of losing treasure in the Roland Beast game!” A large, bare-faced man stroked his bald head and said in a rough voice.
This bald Biao Han only had a fur skirt on his body, and even his feet were barefoot. The apostles who participated in the battle had basically closed their storage space. From the looks of it, this burly man actually carried only one piece of apostle equipment. Of course, this required the hide skirt to be the apostle’s equipment.
Around the bald man lay at least five or six corpses of the apostles. The strangest thing was that these apostles seemed to have died at their own hands from the looks of their physical injuries. For example, those who played with guns seemed to have been killed by bullets, while those who played with swords seemed to have suffered many sword injuries. They fought barehandedly the most miserably, and their entire bodies were swollen.
Compared to the bronze skin of the bald Biao Han and his naked appearance, it was hard to help but give off an extremely strange impression.
…
“Bang!” With a loud howl, a spear approached from afar, sending an escaping apostle flying from behind, nailing him to the trunk of a large tree.
“Ta ta ta!” A rhythmic sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. A plate-armored knight slowly paced over on a tall horse in full vest.
The knight bent down and grabbed the spear with one hand. He pulled his weapon out of the tree trunk and lightly waved it downwards, throwing off the blood droplets stained on the tip of the spear. The apostle, who was originally nailed to the tree trunk, fell limply to the ground and spat out a large amount of blood. Although he was still alive, he was clearly not far from death.
“You … War Shackles!” The last breath of the apostle trembled as he stretched out his fingers, pleading in his eyes.
“Hand over the treasure map fragment and I’ll give you a chance to cancel the invitation!” A surprisingly cold female voice came from behind the knight’s helmet.
“Alright” The apostle’s eyes revealed a trace of surprise. He trembled and took out a small piece of paper from his bosom. However, before he could hand it over to the knight’s spear, his gaze was distracted as he swallowed his last breath.
“Dead? What a bad luck!” The knight unexpectedly spat. He took off his helmet, swung his golden ponytail, and stroked his long hair at his ears. He looked towards the horizon that was slowly dimming.
…
“Hand over the treasure map fragment, and you will not die!”
In the middle of a small field, there were seven figures engaged in a chaotic battle. Strangely, only half of the seven figures resembled humans, while the other three were humanoid monsters that looked like iron. Moreover, judging from the battle situation, it seemed that the three monsters had the upper hand.
The arrogant words just now came from the mouth of the largest of the three monsters.
“Bullshit, Yao Yin, we can’t beat you. At most, we can escape. I want to see how you, a puppet master, can chase after the four of us!” One of the four apostles gritted his teeth and said, “We still want to work with you. I didn’t expect you to be ready to eat bitterly in the first place!”
“Cooperation? Have you ever seen a lion cooperate with an ant?” The monster’s voice echoed again, “I didn’t escape before, but it’s too late now. Look around!”
Following the puppet master’s words, seven or eight agile wolf-and leopard-shaped puppets silently surrounded the small field at the same time. The cold red light emitted from the puppets’ eyes caused the faces of the four apostles to change drastically.
Compared to summoned creatures, puppets had one advantage. As long as there were enough materials, the puppets were almost unlimited in grade. However, puppets were puppets after all. Even if they were equipped with artificial intelligence, they were not as smart as summoned creatures. They had to be completely controlled by puppet masters.
The limitation of a puppet master was the number of puppets he could control, not the quality of the puppets. If a puppet master could control a puppet like an elite apostle, then every time he controlled a puppet, his combat strength would be doubled.
The puppet master in front of him controlled three melee puppets to fight against the four elite apostles, and quietly laid down a trap. Even though those beast-shaped puppets weren’t as agile and flexible as the humanoid puppets, judging from their combat strength, it was clear that they already had the strength to go beyond the realm of challenge.
…
Similar incidents were happening in this area. If Qin Lun knew that his plan would attract so many abnormal monsters, he might not be able to implement it. If this trend continued, even if there were only twenty to thirty apostles left in this region, he would still be the weakest one!
