The Death List Novel - Chapter 380
Chapter 380 Venus
Qin Lun slowly opened his eyes. He felt as if he had just passed a century, and it was as if there was only an instant. The sapling in his hand had completely withered away, and the elven elders who were watching from the sidelines had long disappeared, leaving behind only a smiling Elistine.
“You’re awake!” After confirming Qin Lun’s bloodline, Elistine felt relieved. A playful smile appeared on her painted face. She made a grimace at the young man, completely losing her dignified appearance when she first met him. Perhaps this was her true appearance.
“You lied to me. This is clearly not a tree-man seedling!” Qin Lun patted the dirt on his hand and stood up to look at the elven druid. As matters stood, how could he not know that he had been fooled by those old fellows from the Moon Fairies?
“Don’t be angry. This is the World Tree Branch that Grand Elder Edeline left behind. It’s already about to wither. It’s perfect for your test.” Elistine blinked his bright blue eyes without any guilt on his face. “But didn’t you also get a lot of benefits?”
Qin Lun’s expression froze as he looked at the long line of notifications on the death list. His mood quickly became joyful. No matter what, he did get a lot of benefits. Moreover, the Moon Fairy’s test on him was also the meaning of the question. If it was him, he wouldn’t completely believe an outsider.
“Then now, am I considered to have passed the elders’ test?” Qin Lun straightened his chest and asked confidently.
“Yes, the tribal elders have already confirmed your identity as a descendant of the royal family. In the future, the tribal council of elders will invite you to attend as a bystander.” Elistine smacked his lips and gave Qin Lun a very unhappy shave.
Back then, in order to restore her status as a descendant of the royal family, she had put in a lot of effort, as well as a series of tests. If it weren’t for the fact that they were in an extraordinary period, even if their bloodlines matched, it wouldn’t be so easy for them to obtain the recognition of the tribal elders.
“Royal descendants … Is that beneficial?” Qin Lun licked his lips and asked carefully.
‘”You, I” Elistine glared at Qin Lun and shook his fingers. His towering chest rose and fell violently a few times. He shouted angrily, “As a descendant of the Moon Fairy Royal Family, it’s only right to serve the clansmen. What benefits do you want? Besides, Elder Edeline took out the World Tree Branch and let you activate the Ancient Era’s Legacy.”
“If not, then not at all. Why are you so excited!” Qin Lun muttered to himself.
Elistine took a few breaths and calmed down for a while before rolling his eyes and continuing, “Forget it, for the sake of having another cousin, I’ll give you a present!”
“Why are we cousins? We can’t be siblings. Aren’t we of the same bloodline?” Qin Lun deliberately teased Elistine, but he didn’t expect the druid to really think about it.
“There are also several branches of the royal bloodline. My clan is Moonset, Elistine Moonset, your clan is Moonlight, Filar Moonlight. It can only be considered a close branch of the bloodline, so you are a cousin.” Elistine suddenly revealed a complacent expression. He raised his chin and pointed at Qin Lun with one hand on his waist. “I must be older than you. In the future, you have to call me Sister Elistine!”
Qin Lun suddenly remembered something and revealed a cunning gaze. He replied indifferently, “I remember you saying that you have a mother. She should be a vivid elf, and I am the inherited elf born from the World Tree Fruit. My seniority must be several rounds higher than yours.” I can’t call you elder sister. I can barely accept you as my younger sister. “Isn’t that right, sister Elistine?”
Elistine’s smug smile froze on his face, and the paint on his face began to shine red.
“Cough cough, that Elistine … Sister, your gift …” Qin Lun saw that the elven druid was furious from embarrassment and showed signs of rage. He quickly put away his mocking smile and admitted defeat with a shy face.
“Hmph, you’re smart. Follow me!” Elistine wrinkled his nose, snorted coldly, and turned around to enter the forest.
Qin Lun followed Elistine through the forest for more than an hour and found that the surroundings looked familiar. They actually circled back to the elven tree house set up by the elven druid near the Demon Cup Royal Court.
Elistine brought Qin Lun into the tree house and lit a vanilla incense stick. Soon, a low roar sounded from under the tree.
“It’s that Gale Leopard. Eh, no, its body seems to be even bigger, and its fur color is slightly different.” Qin Lun stuck his head out of the window of the tree house and observed the big cat under the tree whose fur was as beautiful as black silk.
“He is the child of the Gale Leopard, but his father is not the Gale Leopard, but a Shadow Leopard. He has the talent of both the Gale Leopard and the Shadow Leopard. He can be called the Shadow Gale Leopard.” The elven druid jumped down from the tree house and waved to Qin Lun.
‘”Elistine, summon it” Qin Lun could vaguely guess the intention of the elven druid, but he was still a little uncertain.
“Didn’t you say a few days ago that your summoned creature is a hell creature? Do you want me to help you find another suitable hunting partner?” Elistine smiled and said, “What do you think of this child? He has just reached adulthood and is now at the Seventh Order. He also has the potential to advance further.”
“A high-grade magical beast! Will it volunteer to be my hunting companion?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and glanced at the death list. Even though the elven inheritance he had just obtained had allowed him to improve his physical fitness. However, if Cyberus didn’t cancel his summoning contract, he wasn’t sure if he had the strength to sign this seventh grade Dark Shadow Gale Leopard.
“He has been very close to me since he was born. He has a high affinity for elves. Now I am leaving Jondar Forest and can no longer take care of him.” Elistine glanced at Qin Lun and said indifferently, “You’re definitely willing to let him be a hunting companion and take him to Anke Forest. Isn’t that right, Ferrar … brother!”
The elven druid bit down on the word “brother”, accentuating his accent as he stared at Qin Lun without blinking his big beautiful eyes.
“High-grade magical beasts, I may not be able to … Alright!” Under the threat of Elistine’s gaze, Qin Lun could only accept it with a bitter smile. The “gift” of affection was still compulsive, and it was impossible not to accept it.
“Wait for it to follow me to the Broken Star Sky. Just don’t cry!” Qin Lun looked at Elistine, who was excitedly preparing for the contract formation, and added in his heart.
…
“I’ve finally succeeded!” The elf druid wiped the sweat off his forehead and watched as the Dark Shadow Gale Leopard’s body slowly turned into nothingness, scattering into specks of fluorescence that merged into Qin Lun’s right hand.
There was originally a small skull pattern on Qin Lun’s right palm, and there were two scarlet flames flickering in his eyes. That was his soul mark. However, after he became a jungle hunter, the pattern turned into a hidden image of a hunter in the jungle, appearing on the back of his right hand.
At this moment, there was another lightweight panther on the soul imprint. Its streamlined body was hidden in the bushes, and only its head leaned out from behind the hunter, vigilantly observing its surroundings.
Although Qin Lun now had two summoned beasts, he could vaguely sense that the Hellfire Demon Dog might not meet the professional requirements of forest hunters, so it did not appear in the professional logo. Perhaps only by advancing to the rank of Demon Hunter would he be able to bring Cyberus into the professional system.
Qin Lun waved his hand and summoned the Shadow Gale Leopard again. After becoming his hunting companion, the big cat felt very close to him. The vigilance in its eyes had completely disappeared. One person and one leopard had a faint connection in their souls, and they could communicate with each other in every move.
Compared to Cyberlas, who could only rely on simple wisdom and understand Qin Lun’s intentions, he was much better.
“You must take good care of Venus in the future, or else I won’t spare you!” Looking at the Dark Shadow Gale Leopard that ignored him and licked Qin Lun’s palm, Elistine was greatly depressed and glared at the youth fiercely.
“It’s called Venus? Oh, it’s really a bitch!” Looking at the big cat’s crotch, Qin Lun’s expression was a little strange. However, he was very pleased with Elistine’s jealousy. After becoming a hunting companion, the summoned creature naturally had to be closer to its master.
“It’s getting late, let’s go back to the royal court!” Elistine looked up at the sky and said somewhat exhausted.
Presiding over the contract formation just now made her a little exhausted. Several of them were on the verge of failure, and she forcefully pulled them back. The elven druid, who had never done such a contract, thought it was her own relationship, and did not associate it with the fact that Qin Lun had not removed the summoning contract of the first hell creature.
…
The two of them quickly returned to the Demon Cup Royal Court. After separating from Elistine, Qin Lun hurriedly entered his room and checked the notifications on the death list.
“Apostle 70053, due to the induction of an unknown force, the hidden factor in your bloodline gene has been manifested, and the gene chain has begun to recombine and evolve …”
[It is estimated that this evolution will not lead to the collapse of the Laws Body. It conforms to the career path of the Forest Hunter. It is impossible to activate the protection rules of the Apostle Contract. The Shattered Universe will not interfere.]
[Prompt: Apostle 70053, you have comprehended the Hunter’s Heart. Gene recombination will optimize and improve part of your physical fitness.]
[Tip: Your firearm proficiency has been upgraded to Master level-Master Shooter; Dagger Proficiency has been upgraded to Advanced Dagger Proficiency; Intermediate Swordsmanship has been upgraded to Single Hand Weapon Proficiency; Beginner Weave Core has been upgraded to Intermediate Weave Core]
[Tip: Hunter profession’s profession skills related to long-range shooting, reconnaissance, dodging and trapping will begin to optimize and upgrade under the inheritance of relevant laws.]
[… Eye of the B + Clock upgraded to A-class pupil skill; Detection Aura upgraded to B-class skill; Gale Steps upgraded to C-class skill and spawned D-class’ Jump ‘skill; Spiral Shooting upgraded to D + class and spawned C-class’ Wind Arrow ‘skill; Vulnerability Aim upgraded to C + class and spawned’ Penetrating Arrow ‘skill; Ballistic Refraction upgraded to D + class and spawned to C-class’ skill.]
[Prompt: Added a new trap type spell-Wood Trap (D + level), a branch spell of the peak Tier 9 spell ‘Descending from the Tree Realm’.]
Wood Trap (D +): A simple vine trap can be created anywhere with vegetation. Depending on the type of plant, it can add toxins, entanglement, and blood sucking abilities. The cooldown time of this skill is 30 minutes. The amount of energy consumed and the effect of the trap will depend on the terrain and plant species.
[Prompt: The bloodline ability has been recruited into the elven tale. The elven tale has risen to the peak. Shadow talent has been enhanced by the inheritance of Laws, spawning a new C-level skill, ‘Hidden’.]
Hidden (C-level): Hunters should have good camouflage and concealment abilities. In a static state, forest hunters can cover their body with a layer of concealed magic by consuming mana. They can also eliminate their aura and avoid enemies’ eyes and ears. This skill can only be used in a stationary state and will consume energy continuously.
Looking at the long line of information on the death list, Qin Lun couldn’t help but grin. This time, he really earned it!
What made him most proud was that the 10,000 shattered crystals used for the arrival of the B + rank Tree Realm were taken from the fortress guild’s public warehouse. In any case, this was to gain the trust of the Moon Fairy Elder. Stark and the others had to reimburse him.
The spawned new skill was still somewhat unstable. Symbols representing levels were constantly flickering. This was because Qin Lun had never used any of these skills before, and he had only gained insights from the elven inheritance.
However, Qin Lun believed that as long as he was given a period of time, he could basically eliminate this hidden danger. Moreover, these new skills had just appeared, and there was still a lot of room for improvement. They might not be at the current level.
Apart from these new skills, what made Qin Lun most happy was that the comprehension of the Hunter’s Heart had opened up his career advancement path!
