The Death List Novel - Chapter 391
Chapter 391 Cloud City
After Elistine left the house, Qin Lun took a mouthful of the cold broth and slowly chewed on the meat. He took out something from his storage space and spread it out in his palm.
This was the Scarlet Eye he had obtained from the Hunter’s World. One of them had already been used up in the previous battle, and the remaining one was in his hand. After obtaining the Scarlet Eye from the Hunter’s World, Qin Lun noticed that the pair of eyes contained an unknown power.
However, to his surprise, he had no way of knowing what kind of power this was. At the same time, since the Scarlet Eye was not an unidentified item, the Broken Universe did not give a specific explanation.
The Scarlet Eye was the eyes of the Luta Race in the Hunter’s World Cave. When their emotions fluctuated violently, their pupils would turn crimson. The Cave Luta clansmen who had undergone the training of Nian Qi were able to unleash an extraordinary amount of power through their scarlet eyes.
Kieran’s former companion, Coolapika, was one of the best. When the teenager’s eyes turned red, he could use the scarlet eye to increase his spiritual energy tenfold. At the same time, he could turn his control ability into a special attribute, thus exhibiting extraordinary combat strength.
After obtaining the pair of eyes, Qin Lun originally wanted to use them to enhance the ability of [Blood of Dissection], but he was unable to do so because he did not understand the power inside. He could vaguely feel that the pair of scarlet eyes could be used as the eye of the clock, but in this way, it would become a consumable item, a bit of a waste of heaven’s treasures.
However, after the previous battle, Qin Lun finally understood what type of power the Scarlet Eye contained, and why there was no explanation for this world treasure in the Broken Star System.
The reason for that was because the power contained in the Scarlet Eye was the energy possessed by the Apostle’s Law Body. However, Qin Lun had yet to list it as attribute data in the death list.
This kind of power can be called potential, and it is related to the essence of life and soul. Everyone possessed this kind of power, but more or less. In addition to improving their physical fitness, martial artists’ training was also a process of tapping their own potential.
Ordinary people would not be able to unleash such strength without training. However, there are exceptions, such as when emotions fluctuate dramatically, when the body loses all self-protection mechanisms, and when driven by the subconscious, it is possible to take actions that would normally appear inconceivable.
For example, when his grandson was crushed under the car, the 70-year-old man suddenly erupted with tremendous strength, pushing away the miracle of a multi-ton truck.
Of course, an ordinary person’s method of completely burning their potential would only result in one outcome-death!
The apostle’s nomological body also contained potential, but unlike ordinary humans, the apostle could increase and recover potential in some way as an explosive force that consumed enormous amounts of energy.
The power in the Scarlet Eye was the life essence of the Cave Luta Race, and it was also the way they displayed their potential. After realizing this, Qin Lun quickly added attributes representing potential to the death list.
However, this stats was different from the fixed stats of Strength and Agility, and it was also different from the floating stats of HP and Energy. In the apostles, this attribute could only be displayed through certain high-level skills. At the very least, a B-level apostle skill would be involved in this attribute.
Of course, not all B-class skills were related to this attribute. Currently, Qin Lun only had two A-class skills associated with this attribute. Moreover, its manifestation was also very unique. Its consumption was not sustainable, but explosive, and it would consume a large portion in an instant.
For example, if the stats for a Level-B skill consume one, then both B-and B + consume one. Skills of the same level, regardless of their power, consumed the same amount of energy.
Qin Lun named this attribute of strength Explosive Qi. It was based on the consumption of a Level B skill, while a Level A skill would directly increase the consumption to three Explosive Qi. After introducing the attributes of the explosive energy in the death list, a similar explosive energy slot immediately appeared beneath the original health and energy.
Qin Lun’s current explosive gas tank was three squares. Originally, his explosive gas tank was less than three squares, so he had not been able to use an A-class skill before. However, the scarlet eye that he had consumed allowed him to increase his potential by a little, satisfying this condition. Moreover, the [A-Class Star Black Hole] had also risen to [A-Class] through this opportunity.
Of course, the result of forcefully consuming explosive energy didn’t kill Qin Lun like ordinary people, but it also left behind a huge legacy for him. Potential was different from HP and Energy. The existing recovery treasures were unable to recover their potential. If not, they could only use special treasures like the Scarlet Eye. If not, they could only wait for Qin Lun to return and let the shattered starry sky repair the Laws of the Body.
…
“Apostle 70053, you have arrived at Anke Forest with the Jondar Moon Fairy. You have reached the minimum requirements for the mission. You can submit the mission directly now, or you can submit the mission after the last two batches of relocation teams arrive.”
[Reminder: The relocation operation has suffered a huge loss and the mission reward has been reduced by 30%. The fortress team has two people participating in the mission. Apostle 40053’s contribution rate is 72%. A total of 50,000 broken crystals, 1000 exchange coupons, 12 contribution points, and two broken law crystals have been obtained. Upon returning, the reward for the exploration of the world will be settled together.]
“Qin Lun, let me discuss this with you!” Nicole’s voice suddenly came from the guild channel. “You should have submitted the migration mission, right? Can you sell some of the contribution points to our guild?”
“Selling contribution points?” Qin Lun rolled his eyes and asked suspiciously, “Can something like contribution points be transferred?”
[Contribution Points cannot be transferred between individuals. However, teams above Bronze rank can have their members hand over a portion of their Contribution Points to the Guild Leader. This is an act acknowledged by the Broken Star System and is used to reward the Guild Leader for his coordination.] Nicole’s words were a little embarrassed. Speaking of co-ordination, Qin Lun had contributed the most in these two missions. Everyone wanted to give it to him.
However, the fortress guild had no choice. In order to maintain the status of the Silver Guild, one of them had to attain the rank of third apostle. Stark, who had the highest contribution value, was now about 100 points away from the third rank.
“No problem, I got 12 contribution points, so I’ll hand them all over to Commander Stark!” Qin Lun smiled and agreed. He also wanted to upgrade his apostle title, but it wasn’t urgent. Nicole didn’t want it for nothing, she just bought it.
“You can’t hand over all of them. Each task can only be handed over 30% at most. The change must be removed. At 12 o’clock, you can only hand over 3 points.” Nicole heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “You and we are just cooperating. The team will not take your contribution points for nothing. They will buy it at the price of 10,000 broken crystals per point.”
“No problem!” Qin Lun smiled indifferently. He looked at the huge World Tree in the distance and said indifferently, “But since you’ve arrived at the Anke Fairy Court, remember to reach an agreement with the Lost Party as soon as possible so that there won’t be any complications.”
Each World Tree of the Elves had its own unique style. The World Tree of Jondar Forest grew like a spiral. The branches that extended from the bottom of the tree were placed on the outer wall of the Elven Court. The entire tree looked like a goblet that was upside down on the ground. It was called the Demon Cup Royal Court.
The World Tree in Anke Forest was completely different from the Demon Cup Royal Court. The branches of the World Tree had many roots. These Qi roots hung down from the branches and plunged deeply into the soil, forming countless huge pillars that supported the broad canopy like the sky.
If the World Tree in Jondal Forest was a spiral magic vine towering into the clouds, then the World Tree in Anke Forest was a boundless green cloud.
A tree was a forest. Countless thick Qi roots made this World Tree look like a forest in a forest. An incomparably wide canopy enveloped this world like a dome.
The Elven Court in Anke Forest was not on the ground, but built on top of a tree crown. The branches and leaves of the World Tree and the clouds floating in the air covered most of the outline of the city, making the city within the tree appear faintly like an immortal palace above the nine heavens.
Therefore, the Anke Fairy Court was also called “Cloud City” by the elves!
The relocation team arrived at Anke Forest this morning and met up with the Anke Fairy Court led by King Tynequilas. Anke’s Elf King was extremely enthusiastic, greeting Grand Elder Edeline and High Priest Menon, and greeting the descendants of the royal families, Elistine and Qin Lun one by one.
King Tynequilas’ words and courtesy caused all the Jondar Moon Elves to relax. Even though everyone was invited, the Elf King’s enthusiasm still flattered the Moon Fairies, who were used to being suppressed by the Demon Cup Royal Court.
The Anke Forest was not as big as the Jondal Forest. After entering the forest, it only took them half a day to arrive at the Anke Fairy Court-Cloud City.
The Ank Elves were also divided into two races, the Moon Elves and the Green Elves. However, they were different from the Demon Cup Royal Court. Although the ruling elves were Moon Elves, the Green Elves were not suppressed. They lived with the Moon Elves in Cloud City.
The Ank World Tree’s treehouse was built entirely within the crown of the World Tree. Unlike the Demon Cup Royal Court, the Ank World Tree’s treehouse was extremely spacious, enough to accommodate all the elves. At night, the entire World Tree’s canopy was dotted with sparks of orange-red light. It looked beautiful and tranquil.
“Filar, thank you!” Elistine, who was standing beside Qin Lun, said softly as he looked intoxicated at Cloud City in front of him.
“Thank me for what?” Qin Lun smiled faintly.
“Thank you for letting me make up my mind to come to Anke Forest!” Elistine smiled and said from the bottom of his heart, “Compared to the castle of the Demon Cup Royal Court, I like the environment here. This place is more natural and more like the home of our elves.”
“Then let’s go up and take a look!” Qin Lun smiled as he grabbed the vine staircase hanging from above and climbed towards Cloud City above the tree crown.
