The Death List Novel - Chapter 607
Chapter 607 Lava Head
“If it’s a cult, our plan needs to be changed!” Qin Lun said cautiously, “Let me first investigate the situation of this underground stronghold.”
They originally planned for Hill and Rand to infiltrate the carriage dealership and create chaos to attract attention so that Qin Lun could return to the ground from underground. In this regard, Rand, who had been transferred to Second Grade as “Lava Head”, had a natural advantage.
Firework Rand had the least cooperation with the other murderers. Before he seriously considered joining Qin Lun and the others’ small team, no one had much information about his profession. Only later did they slowly learn about him.
The so-called “unusual path” referred to people like Rand. This fellow didn’t have as many sources of information as Qin Lun and the others because he didn’t fit in with the group at the beginning, so he had changed his profession once.
Originally, before Qin Lun experienced the Hunter World, Rand had changed his profession to a fire mage. However, before becoming Apostle, Fireworks was once a fire captain. He was stronger and more like a warrior. He was not used to hiding behind the battlefield and casting magic.
As a result, the combat profession of a fire mage was incompatible with his. If this continued, he would definitely not be able to walk too far in the path of a mage.
In the Hunter’s World, however, Rand had a great opportunity to fix his combat profession. That was the branch mission given to him by the Broken Star System to seize the Zoroastrian sacred object, the Ahura Mazda bronze statue.
The Ahura Mazda bronze statue was the proof of a hidden profession in the Broken Star System. Combined with Rand’s ability to read in the Hunter World, he obtained an elementary profession called “Fire Fighter”.
This combat profession was somewhat similar to the Bomb Demon in the Hunter’s World. It could use a skill to create explosives and give the Bomb a faint idea. It could be operated remotely.
The [Fire Handler] profession limited the types of fire magic, but it allowed Rand to have a foundation that allowed him to cultivate both magic and martial arts, which was more in line with his temperament. This was also the main reason why Rand had given Qin Lun a pair of scarlet eyes and peer cards.
By the time Rand advanced to Second Grade, he was even more transformed into a martial artist. He basically didn’t upgrade his magic skills as a fire mage. His new combat profession was called “Fuhrer of Lava”.
This Tier 2 profession was extremely unorthodox. It could be said that apart from the intelligent races of the Fire Elemental Elemental Elemental Elemental Elemental Elemental Elemental Elemental Elemental Elemental Element This was also the case. After obtaining the Fire Spirit bloodline, Rand was promoted to “Lava Fuehrer”.
This profession had turned his fire attribute ability into a bloodline talent. Rand was no longer able to sense and manipulate fire elements like a magic profession. He had become a fire spirit martial artist who could construct fire elements and lava out of thin air.
Ordinary martial artists, such as Kelly, fighters, and boxers, mostly used Dou Qi martial skills. As for the Lava Head, he abandoned the Dou Qi system. He replaced Dou Qi with high-temperature lava, turning it into an extremely different type of magical martial ability.
Qin Lun had never witnessed Rand’s battle before, but according to Hansen and Hill, who worked with Fireworks in the previous quest world, that fellow’s combat strength was extremely powerful, and his explosive power was the top of the five great murderers.
Of course, this profession also had two flaws. One was that the magma ability was limited to Rand’s own magic power, which was not conducive to long battles. The other is that the lava ability is limited by the battle environment and cannot fight in the environment with dense water elements, such as rivers, lakes, oceans, and so on.
Of course, if Rand could continue to advance, once he possessed the abilities of a Legendary Domain, the limitations of the battle environment would be greatly reduced.
“Alright, be careful!” Hill and Rand quickly agreed.
Toril World has many perfect divine attributes, such as Elves’s Syldrin divine attribute, the Dark divine attribute of the underground world, the human’s Ferren divine attribute (also known as the Light divine attribute), the dwarf’s Moradin divine attribute, and so on.
Apart from these gods, there were also the Zandara gods of trolls and lizards, the Storm gods of ocean and archipelagic creatures, the Berserk gods, and the Ocean gods.
Apart from that, there were also scattered gods such as the whipping of young girls, gods of suffering, gods of shadows, gods of ascetics, gods of thieves, druids, primitive sects, and so on.
This world was too vast, and there were too many gods. Some Heretic Gods and their fanatics had some unimaginable divine abilities.
Qin Lun and the others weren’t that weak, but they weren’t even high-level after all. It was not a wise choice to rashly enter the nest of a Heretical God Church. Naturally, he had to be extremely cautious.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun stealthily retreated and climbed down the stairs again. After leaving the underground stronghold of the Antanari Chamber of Commerce far away, he arrived at a secluded corner.
Qin Lun raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A complicated hexagram formation suddenly lit up in the corridor. A black shadow appeared at the center of the formation. It was as if it had just woken up from its sleep. It raised its head vigilantly and looked at Qin Lun with its amber eyes. It stepped on the formation vigorously and quietly landed in front of the youth.
The black shadow was the high-grade magical beast that Qin Lun had signed the last time he entered Toril World-Venus, a seventh-grade Dark Shadow Gale Leopard.
After becoming a summoned pet, the Dark Shadow Gale Leopard, which originally belonged to a physical creature, had already turned into a creature of Laws. All summoned creatures would exist in a summoned plane as spirit bodies before receiving their master’s orders. They were also independent pet parks.
Summoned creatures lived, hunted, and preyed on the Summoned Plane, not always in a dormant state. This was also the reason why some summoned creatures would advance after a period of time. However, Venus was already a high-grade mature body. Unless he encountered a special opportunity, it would be very difficult for him to advance.
After Venus appeared, his nose twitched, and a hint of disgust appeared on the cat’s face. Obviously, he did not like the stench of the sewer.
“Alright, it’s rare for us to return to our hometown. Don’t be angry. We’ll be out in a while!” Qin Lun squatted down, patted the big cat’s head and pointed forward.
Venus let out a low roar, bowed and rushed up the stairs, climbing to the upper waterway in a few steps. The large and sensitive body did not make a sound during this period. Soon, it melted into the darkness and disappeared at the end of the tunnel.
The Shadow Gale Leopard possessed the Shadow Innate Skill, and its stealth ability was no less than a Thief. It was suitable for scouting in such an environment. After releasing Venus, Qin Lun activated his gaze again and followed behind the summoned beast.
Venus could avoid the guards, but he couldn’t detect the trap mechanism himself. Qin Lun needed to find the magic traps that the enemy had set up in the stronghold.
Through Venus’ investigation, Qin Lun avoided several waves of patrols along the way. A moment later, a man and a beast approached the center of the Chamber of Commerce’s stronghold.
Qin Lun’s previous judgement was correct. The place in front of him was no longer a direct sewer, but a secret stronghold built between the sewer and the ground.
The structure of this stronghold was similar to a circular labyrinth with large rings and small rings. Fortunately, the overall area wasn’t large enough to prevent Qin Lun from getting lost.
However, the closer he got to the center of the stronghold, the more vigilant Qin Lun was. If he turned the threat he felt into a bell, he would definitely have an alarm bell in his mind.
Along the way, the patrol guards Venus had avoided weren’t very powerful in Qin Lun’s eyes. However, this stronghold was always shrouded in an ominous evil aura. It was like a dark castle in a thick fog, making him instinctively feel threatened.
So far, Qin Lun had been able to confirm that the Antanari Chamber of Commerce was not a smuggling merchant on the surface, but a truly chaotic and evil organization. However, whether it was a cult organization or not, as he had yet to observe the sacrificial items, he was still uncertain.
“There’s no way!” After Venus sent a vague message, Qin Lun realized that they could no longer sneak in front of him.
At the corner of this passageway, there were two forks. The Shadow Gale Leopard had already investigated them all. There were guards at both ends of the fork, not patrols. Because his vision was limited, Venus could not see the situation behind the guards, nor did he know which fork had a secret passage to the ground.
The entrance to the guard’s handle was relatively narrow, and Venus could not slip past it with his size. At this moment, Qin Lun could not retreat any further, or he might run into the patrol that was returning.
“We have to gamble!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up, and a light flashed in front of him. A weapon case that looked like a medical kit and was covered in pure white frost appeared quietly.
As soon as the weapon box appeared, the temperature in the passageway dropped a little. Qin Lun reached out and grabbed the handle of the [Wind Chasing Frost Weapon Box]. He suddenly shook it, and the weapon box turned into metal feathers. The two ends opened like peacocks, forming a dark green ice bow.
Ever since the Ayala Armament Box was converted into the Wind Chasing Frost Armament Box, the World Tree longbow had undergone some changes in appearance. The body of the bow was mainly made up of dark green World Tree and ancient ivy twists. On the wings of the bow were plumage-like metal sheets that resembled eagles that spread out their wings.
Because the artifact soul that dominated the World Tree Bow had changed from Ayala, the Tree Demon, to the Frost Elves, the entire longbow was covered with a layer of sparkling frost.
Qin Lun flipped his palm and put on the World Tree’s Tree Heart’s wrench with his thumb. Two silver iron arrows were sandwiched between his index finger, middle finger and ring finger. This was a powerful magical secret silver arrow.
Since he wanted to break through, the faster he moved, the better. It was best if he had already broken through and escaped before the enemy could react.
After sending a message to Hill and Rand, Qin Lun took a deep breath and pulled the World Tree longbow into a full moon. At the same time, he put on two magical silver arrows and aimed them at the stone wall in front of him at an angle of nearly 30 degrees. At the same time, the image of Yin Yang Fish intertwined with ice flames and ancient vines appeared in his left eye.
“Boom!” With a soft sound of the bowstring, two streaks of white light flashed through the passageway. Two finger-thick holes appeared on the stone wall of the passageway in front of Qin Lun. Stone powder shattered by the Secret Silver Arrow fell from the holes.
