The Death List Novel - Chapter 285

Chapter 285 End
“Remember this!” Moments later, Monroe finally shouted angrily and fled into the distance without looking back.

Among the three of them, she was the strongest, and one of her opponents, the female knight Yin Shi, was seriously injured. However, she was one against two, and Qin Lun, who was hiding in the shadows, was cunning and cunning. Every time she attacked, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Although they were minor injuries, they could not endure the accumulation of such minor injuries. After a period of time, she had basically reached her limit. If she didn’t escape, she would really perish here.

“Come out!” Seeing Monroe escape, Yin Shi finally couldn’t hold on any longer and sat on the ground without any image as she shouted weakly.

In this battle, even though the female knight had awakened to her knight’s heart in the later stages, she no longer had a mount, and the purple plate armor on her upper body had also been shattered. The plate-armored knight’s charge skill of high attack and high defense couldn’t be used. He passively played the role of MT, and it could be said that he had run out of fuel until now.

Qin Lun slowly stood up from his hiding place. However, he did not approach the female knight. He only lowered his head to play with the light and darkness in his hands and remained silent.

“Tell me what conditions you have!” Yin Shi sighed in her heart when she saw Qin Lun’s appearance. Monroe had always thought that the two of them were partners, but the knight knew that the gunman in front of her would not help her for no reason.

“I know what you’re thinking, but it’s not easy to kill me!” Seeing that Qin Lun didn’t respond, Yin Shi gritted her teeth and took out a translucent bottle from her bosom, revealing its attributes.

“This bottle of Ocean Star is my last trump card. Sacrificing it will revive my cavalry immediately. Even if I can’t do anything now, I can still escape to the territory of other experts. You don’t want to get nothing, do you?”

Sacrificing the Star of the Ocean had its consequences, and the immediate resurrection of warriors was at the expense of burning the soul of the summoned beast. After the battle ended, the mount’s soul would dissipate and it would never be revived. Before the final moment, Yin Shi was really unwilling to use the Star of the Ocean. For plate-armored knights, a suitable mount was extremely difficult to find.

Qin Lun’s eyes lit up as he took out the last selection match from his arms. He waved the short Addison staff he had obtained from Summoner Oddo expressionlessly.

A giant pentagram formation lit up in front of him, and the phantom image of a Hellfire Devil Hound appeared in the middle of the formation. At the same time, a milky white mist appeared on the left side of the formation. Within the mist, there was actually a Hellfire Devil Dog that resembled Cyberus condensing into form.

‘”Whoosh ~ ~” Cyberlus wagged his tail happily at Qin Lun as soon as he came out. However, the Hellfire Devil Hound had just taken a step forward when it grinned its teeth to its left. There was a trace of confusion in the eyes of the two kobolds.

The reason for that was because there was also a Hellfire Devil Dog on its left. The two of them seemed to have been carved from the same mold. However, its eyes were dull, as if it didn’t have any intelligence. It was just a walking corpse in its shape.

Qin Lun’s face turned pale as he summoned two Hellfire Devilhounds with Addison’s short staff. He quickly took out the walnut wine and poured the rest of the wine into his mouth.

Summoning Cyberlus required nearly 385 HP. Although the [Virtual Spirit] of the Adis Staff exempted the summoned object from the spiritual energy restriction, replicating the summoned HP was still necessary. Two Hellfire Devilhounds had consumed 770 energy points of Qin Lun’s body, and had basically emptied his energy points.

“Do you still have the confidence to escape now?” At this time, Qin Lun finally put on a warm and harmonious smile and commanded the two Hellfire Devilhounds to block Yin Shi in the middle one after the other.

Addison’s cane was Qin Lun’s last trump card. He had already planned it before joining the battle. Since Yin Shi had killed two of Monroe’s companions, the two women could no longer work together to expel him, but they might end the war because of his appearance.

Therefore, he had to help one of them instead of stopping the battle.

Of course, this person could not be chosen casually. If he chose to help Monroe, who had the upper hand, then the female knight would not hesitate to flee the battlefield. Regardless of the outcome, Monroe would not be exhausted.

Even if the kung fu girl was willing to share some of his benefits after the war, it was still Monroe who took the lead. Clearly, it did not conform to Qin Lun’s original intention. However, if he wanted to make a move, even with the addition of the two Hellfire Devilhounds, he was not confident that he would be able to keep Monroe alive. Therefore, he could not help the Kung Fu girl, only the female knight from the weaker side.

Yin Shi had lost her mount before and was struggling to support herself under Monroe. Most importantly, even if Qin Lun interfered in the battle, the female knight who lost her mount would most likely not escape. In the end, he could only choose to become the shield of the ranged archer, blocking all of Monroe’s attacks for him.

In this way, even if she couldn’t kill Monroe, the female knight would definitely be exhausted by the end of the battle, becoming the best target for hunting.

Yin Shi tightened her grip on Ocean Star’s finger and fell silent. Right now, she had less than a 30% chance of escaping. Most importantly, with two Hellfire Demon Hounds, her opponent was confident enough to take a risk. Even if she made up her mind to break out of the encirclement and flee to the territory of other experts, she was still someone else’s dish.

“There are five fragments of the treasure map in my hand. If you let me go, I’ll give them all to you. How about it?” Yin Shi took out a few blueprint fragments from her bosom and said indifferently, “Otherwise, even if you can get my invitation, I will destroy these treasure map fragments!”

There weren’t many invitations on Yin Shi, but she was lucky. One of the apostles she killed had three fragments in total, allowing her to take advantage of them.

“Treasure map fragment?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, but his eyes flashed with a trace of ridicule. What was the use of wanting the treasure map fragment? It was originally the trap he had set up.

“No need. With my strength, I’m afraid it’s very difficult to obtain other treasure map fragments. It’s more practical to obtain your invitation letter. However, if you take the initiative to hand over the invitation letter, I can sign a contract with you. Hide these fragments in the location you designated so that you can take them away after the war.”

“No treasure map fragments, just my invitation letter?” Yin Shi frowned and looked at Qin Lun.

“You’d better decide quickly. I won’t give you that much time to recover!” Qin Lun’s expression was calm as he said quietly, “Besides, you have comprehended the heart of a knight through this battle. Even if you don’t gain anything, you won’t suffer. Why continue to take risks just for the sake of shattering the crystal?”

“Alright, I promise you, but you have to answer my last question!” Yin Shiqiang stood up and stared at Qin Lun. “Did you intentionally lure that female martial artist over? How did you escape our perception and hide in this area?” She asked.

Qin Lun hesitated for a moment before nodding and admitting, “I did attract them. However, I did not hide here beforehand, nor did I have any magic scrolls that could last that long. I was outside your detection range, waiting for both of you to be injured. As for how I got here …”

Qin Lun smiled and pointed to a sewer cover in the park.

“Underground?” Yin Shi raised her eyebrows in surprise and shook her head with a bitter smile. “I checked the sewer network and didn’t expect you to be able to find the correct location from such a complicated three-dimensional maze. Such good archery and powerful summoning creatures … You should be a hunter, right?”

Qin Lun nodded lightly and sighed in his heart. The female knight thought that he had found their location in the huge sewer network by relying on the hunter’s tracking skills. She never expected that there was another natives girl who had lived in the sewer for more than two years.

“The abilities of the apostles are ever-changing. Although your combat strength is inferior to ours, you have won this battle. You deserve my invitation.” Yin Shi sighed softly, her eyes flashing as a soul contract appeared in front of them.

After a while, Qin Lun waved his Adis staff and summoned Cyberlas back to the summoning space, dispelling the replica of the Hellfire Devil Hound. The female knight had already taken the initiative to remove the invitation letter and leave the Battle of Hegemons area.

Only her invitation letter and five treasure map fragments remained. The invitation letter belonged to Qin Lun, and the treasure map fragment needed him to hide it in the place Yin Shi had designated, waiting for her to take it away after the war.

Qin Lun pinched the invitation letter left behind by Yin Shi. A trace of joy flashed through his heart. There were five invitation letters for the female knight to fuse with, plus one for herself and three that he had just obtained from Monroe’s companion. There were a total of nine invitation letters. Coupled with the one-eyed sniper Qin Lun had killed, he had now received a total of ten invitations to complete his plan.

Some of the ten invitations were broken crystals, while others were equipment items pledged by the apostles. No matter what, their value would not be less than a million broken crystals. It could be said to be a bumper harvest.

Although Qin Lun did not find any legendary items left behind by the Atlantis apostles in the Battle Zone, judging from the situation at the Wheel of Heaven branch and the Underground Research Institute, there might not be any party planes or legendary items in this Battle Zone.

After all, the Apostle Mecha’s technology, as well as the mission rewards that came with the Space-Time Converter, were also of great value, no weaker than a single Legendary item. Or perhaps the half-plane coordinates and legendary items of this region had already been obtained by some lucky person, but they did not appear again in the later stages.

After fusing with the invitation letter, Qin Lun quickly retreated into the underground passageway and headed towards the monitoring room.

“Huh?” Just as he took two steps out of the sewer, Qin Lun stopped and looked vigilantly at one of the sewer pipes.

A turnip head slowly popped out of the pipe and a pair of big black and white eyes looked at him quietly.

“Squeak!” A little squirrel scratched its long black hair and came out from the side of her neck. It called out to Qin Lun twice, as if it was greeting him.

“Didn’t I tell you to wait in the surveillance room?” Qin Lun sighed helplessly, “Also … don’t drill such a small pipe in the future. This smell is very difficult to wash off!”

“Yaya!” The little mute puffed up his cheeks and angrily waved his small fist at Qin Lun.

“I don’t need you to worry about me … I said I would come back, so I will definitely come back!” Qin Lun unhappily pulled the little mute out of the pipe with a smile on his face.
