The Death List Novel - Chapter 422
Chapter 422 Ancient Teleportation Array
Robin turned around and saw that Kelly and the others could no longer be seen from this position.
The mountain collapsed just now and buried nearly two hundred undead. Although it was unable to completely kill them, it could at least break their bones and tendons, and could no longer pose a threat to Kelly and the others. Without a front and rear encirclement, the companions behind him should have a chance of escaping as well.
Thinking of this, Robin couldn’t help but glance at Qin Lun, who was at the end of the line. This month, the Moon Elf Prince had become even more invisible to her. In retrospect, the envoy had encountered many dangers, and in the end, he was able to turn the situation around.
It was her plan to divert from Ankharp to the Alamir Mountains, but it was the Moon Elf Prince who convinced Milleras to take the sea route.
In Iron Star Fort, everyone only remembered that he had severely injured the Earth Tyrant. However, that was the result of the combined efforts of everyone and did not attract enough attention. Now that he thought about it, Robin realized that the Moon Fairy Prince had more to offer than that.
He reminded everyone that the furnace area was connected to an underground volcano, helping to find an upward fork; When they encountered the Earth Tyrant Beast, they vaguely hinted that everyone had been discovered by the sensitive Earth Tyrant. Without his reminder, the outcome of the battle with the Earth Tyrannosaurus was still hard to predict.
It was also the same this time. At this critical moment, he drove Elistine to cause the mountain to collapse, allowing everyone to achieve their goal of breaking out of the encirclement. However, if he did not show any signs of dew, he would often only give advice, not the person who played a decisive role, causing people to ignore him if they were not careful.
Was this really something that an elven mercenary who had traveled abroad could do? Robin’s eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed the intense doubts in his heart. Now was not the time to get to the bottom of it. They had more important things to do.
After breaking through the interception of more than three hundred undead, Qin Lun and the others finally had a smooth path ahead. Even though there were still scattered undead behind them, they were no longer able to hinder them.
Qin Lun carried the unconscious Elistine through the rocks, followed by a few small tails, Milleras, Lorraine, and the Magician Apprentice El that Angelo had entrusted to him.
Qin Lun had never carefully observed El before. The Apprentice Magician was hiding behind Angelo, so he didn’t attract much attention. Qin Lun’s abnormal memory ability had played a crucial role at this moment. Now that he recalled it, El revealed a good cultivation and etiquette in his everyday life. Without a doubt, he was a noble disciple.
It was strange that Angelo did not seem to be interested in teaching El. He often only allowed the apprentice to read books and study various languages and continental history.
The profession of a mage required a wealth of knowledge, so Angelo could not be blamed for doing so. However, after careful deliberation, the problem arose. Learning languages and history can be done at home. Now that it was an adventure trip, shouldn’t a mage guide El to practice magic so that he could strengthen his defensive abilities?
Angelo didn’t care about his own fate or the situation of the team. He only used astrology for El. It could be seen that the identity of this apprentice was very questionable.
El shouldn’t be Angelo’s apprentice or descendant, otherwise Angelo would have taught him magic seriously. The relationship between the two of them looked more like a relationship between a guard and an employer? No, a step closer, Angelo thought that El’s safety was more important than his own life, otherwise he wouldn’t have stayed behind.
Qin Lun rolled his eyes, the corner of his eyes reflecting Al. The youth’s body was slightly thin. He pursed his lips tightly and his face was a little pale. There was a faint worry in his expression. From time to time, he looked back at the direction of the group of people behind him. It seemed that he was worried about Angelo’s safety.
The apostles were running very fast, and Lorraine and he were the only ones in the group who were struggling to keep up. Even though his forehead was covered in cold sweat, the youth did not say a word. He staggered behind everyone and tried his best to keep a visible distance from them. However, judging from his appearance, he seemed to be unable to keep up with Lorraine’s physical strength. He would probably fall behind with Lorraine very soon.
As for Lorraine, it wasn’t because he wasn’t physically weak, but because his legs were short. There was nothing he could do about it. With the short stature of a dwarf, he was naturally not good at running.
“Longer, you and Boss go help those two brats. If you can escape, try to preserve their mission as much as possible.” Qin Lun withdrew his gaze and secretly sent a voice transmission to Longer.
“Yes, I understand!” Long Er’s eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, “Does that Er also have a mission?”
“It’s just my guess. I’m not sure yet!” Qin Lun chuckled and replied.
Long Er nodded and didn’t ask any further. He turned around to greet Perth. The two of them jumped to the side of the two youths and grabbed their arms as they ran forward.
Al looked at Longer in surprise. Suddenly, he remembered something. He looked up at Qin Lun and immediately smiled meaningfully at the young man. Al trembled slightly and lowered his head. He no longer looked at Qin Lun.
When the mercenary group encountered the undead in the valley, they had actually crossed three quarters of the valley. As Qin Lun and the others got closer and closer to the valley, the path beneath their feet began to widen, no longer as narrow as before.
“Eh, what is that?” Turning another corner of the mountain, Robin suddenly looked ahead and stopped in horror.
At a glance, at a corner several dozen meters away from them, a pitch-black smoke blocked the path. This black mist seemed to have its own life, slowly churning in the valley.
“Undead Magic-Dark Heavenly Mist!” Philip looked at the black mist and said coldly, “Looks like we’ve reached a place. If there really is a necromancer that Philip mentioned, then it should be hidden inside.”
“Is there any way to disperse such a large area of dark sky fog?” Robin frowned and asked. They didn’t retreat, but rushed into the depths of the valley not only to find a way to survive, but also to capture the main messenger of this undead incident and bargain with the undead. Otherwise, Kelly and the others, who were in charge of cutting off the rear, would still be in danger.
“I can only do my best!” Philip sighed, took out a golden scroll from his storage space, and looked at the black mist with a gloomy expression.
“Tier 9 Magic Scroll?!” Robin looked at the scroll and raised his eyebrows. After pondering for a moment, he said decisively, “The cost of using this scroll is half the cost of losing.”
Philip let out a sigh of relief. This scroll was not his personal property, it was the public property of the fortress guild. In fact, every mature guild like the Fortress would prepare some final treasures so that the guild would be able to fight back in the face of danger.
Apart from this Tier 9 scroll, the final trump card of the fortress guild had basically been cleaned up in the previous mission world. This scroll was preserved because of its special function.
Every high-grade scroll was very valuable. Just like Qin Lun, most of the magic scrolls he bought were Tier 5 or Tier 6 Intermediate Magic Scrolls. It was almost impossible to purchase high-grade magic scrolls on the market.
The Tier 9 Magic Scroll was even more precious. Just think about the Tier 9 magic that Qin Lun possessed, The Descent of the Tree Realm. This powerful spell could almost cause a battle to turn upside down, and the value of it was hard to measure.
With Robin’s assurance, Philip immediately tore off the scroll without hesitation. As soon as the scroll was opened, the mage immediately threw the scroll towards the dark sky mist in front of him, as if he was holding a hot potato instead of a precious high-grade magic scroll.
“Ah!” Even though the magic scroll was gone, Philip still hugged his head and squatted on the ground. The veins on his forehead were exposed, as if he was enduring great pain.
Magic scrolls all had their own characteristics. They could store magic, but to cast the magic in the scroll and guide it, one still needed to control the apostle’s spiritual energy. Of course, it was easier to control one’s mind than to cast a true Tier 9 spell. After all, the entire spell had been completely constructed in the scroll.
With Philip’s psychic power, he could control the Tier 8 Magic Scroll, but the Tier 9 Magic Scroll was still a little weak and would definitely be in a state of mental backlash.
The magic scroll was tossed high into the dark mist, and everyone immediately saw a ball of light shining out from the depths of the mist. Compared to the black mist that covered the entire valley, this ball of light seemed insignificant, but even so, it still gave everyone a creepy feeling.
“Close your eyes!” Qin Lun’s face changed as he shouted at Milleras and the others behind him. Without hesitation, he turned his head and closed his eyes tightly.
Philip, who was squatting on the ground, let out a loud cry and fainted from foaming. At the same time, the dots of light in the depths of the black mist were blazing, and they instantly expanded into an incomparably brilliant blazing sun from the starfire.
Tier 9 Light Magic-Brilliant Sunlight!
Even though he had closed his eyes, Qin Lun could still feel the stinging pain under his eyelids. Tears could not stop flowing out of his eyes, and his eyes were white.
A painful roar came from the valley. The pitch-black sky mist melted like snow and dissipated under the light magic.
Glorious Sunlight had such a characteristic. As a Tier 9 spell, its attack power wasn’t too great, but for some dark magic, it was a nemesis among nemesis. This was also the reason why this Tier 9 scroll was retained by the fortress guild. In the previous quest world, there was no place for it to be used.
After a while, Qin Lun felt a little more comfortable. He opened his eyes and looked ahead.
They had guessed correctly. They had already reached the innermost part of the valley by taking a detour around the corner of the valley in front of them. The valley in front of them was an empty space. Just as Knight Bonny had said back then, this place was surrounded by cliffs that were close to 90 degrees. There were no passages to other places at all.
However, everyone understood why these undead had appeared here. In just a few hours, the number of undead encountered by the Bonny Knights had increased from over a hundred to over a thousand.
“A teleportation array?! So the remnant that Bonny mentioned was an ancient teleportation array!” Robin’s eyes widened as he looked ahead in disbelief.
