“What?” The bronze lamb face was unable to react for a moment, but it immediately felt a sharp pain in its chest. Then, it realized that the person in front of it spoke the common language of the continent, not the ocean language that it was familiar with.
“Ah!” Looking at the scimitar deeply stabbed into his left chest, how could he not know that this person in front of him was a spy who had infiltrated? He immediately roared angrily. His scaled left hand tightly clasped onto the scimitar blade, and his right hand pulled out the scimitar from his waist like lightning and chopped towards Qin Lun.
A trace of surprise flashed through Qin Lun’s eyes. He hadn’t expected that the heart of the bronze lamb face would be pierced open and there was still room to resist. However, his reaction was quick. He immediately released his unfamiliar scimitar and retreated to avoid the scimitar. At the same time, a ferocious dagger with a serrated ridge landed in his right hand.
The scimitar he picked up had a crescent-shaped arc, and its blade was narrow in front and wide in back. It was good for hacking, but bad for stabbing. It was a good weapon that the pirates liked very much. However, Qin Lun was not used to this kind of weapon. Although he had just pierced through the heart of the bronze sheep’s face, the tip of the knife was stuck in his ribs.
In addition, Qin Lun did not know that many marine races were different from humans. Some of them had two hearts. Although this saber had heavily injured the bronze sheep’s face, it had not really killed it.
“Die!” The bizarre voice of the Bronze Sheep Face roared. He pulled out the scimitar stabbed into his left chest with his left hand. Following the flying blood arrow, the Bronze Sheep Face held the scimitar in both hands and crushed it towards Qin Lun like a whirlwind blade wheel. The remaining three masked guards tacitly dispersed and surrounded Qin Lun.
Dang! The scimitar collided with the Evil Dagger and let out a crisp sound. Although the scimitar was much heavier than the dagger, Qin Lun did not feel a strong pressure. He immediately felt certain in his heart.
The benefits of fusing the Angel bloodline in the previous Gospel World were obvious. Qin Lun’s current Strength Attribute, equipment bonus, and Iron Cross amplification had already exceeded a hundred, not much inferior to some high-grade Apostle. The marine intelligent creature in front of him was no more than an Intermediate Warrior. There was a certain gap in strength between him and him, so it naturally could not pose a threat to him.
However, the Bronze Sheep’s Face was a warrior who had experienced hundreds of battles. Just as the scimitar in his right hand was blocked by his opponent, it turned around again. The knife in his left hand wiped Qin Lun’s ribs, and at the same time, a hammer smashed towards Qin Lun.
“Chi la!” The black robe Qin Lun wore was pulled open by the scimitar. However, a yellow light flashed across his ribs, blocking the blade from his body. This was the Earth Guardian that the Earth Dragon Lizard leather armor had brought with it.
Qin Lun tilted his head and gave way to the hammer. He felt a little depressed in his heart, and he felt more and more lacking in melee combat ability.
From a distance, he could finish off two masked guards with two arrows in one hand. However, in close combat with warriors with superb martial skills, they could only rely on their equipment and skills to block them head-on. Before advancing to the next level, they would probably already have a stomach-splitting bowel flow.
However, the counterattack from the bronze sheep’s face also came to an end. A silver dial quietly appeared in Qin Lun’s right eye. Two hands that looked like vines slightly raised, activating the virtual temporal and spatial stagnation effect of the Eye of the Clock.
The effect of this skill had no effect on the outside world. However, Qin Lun’s perception and thinking would run at several times their normal speed. At the same time, with the support of Agility, his combat movements would also speed up in due course.
The evil dagger in Qin Lun’s right hand drew out one or two afterimages and stabbed right into the eye sockets of the fish man who had missed the hammer.
“Ah!” The Fishman Warrior with the bronze sheep’s face jumped up like an electric shock. Blood arrows shot out from his eyes and he fell on his back.
The Evil Dagger had already stabbed the Fishman Warrior’s brain. No matter how strong his vitality was, he would not be able to endure it.
“Deputy Commander!” The expressions of the other three masked guards surrounding Qin Lun changed as they roared and pounced forward.
The two of them had only fought for one round, and Rabbit Rise and Raven Fall were both in danger once. However, Qin Lun could use his equipment as a shield, but the Fishman Warrior did not have his own equipment and luck.
“Humph!” Qin Lun expressionlessly grinned. He had just used his own shortcomings against his opponent and suffered a heavy loss. How could he be willing to fight against these guards with exquisite martial skills?
The young man’s eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of black mist. The moment the mist appeared, it instantly expanded, engulfing the two masked guards in front of Qin Lun like two monsters.
The two guards shrouded in mist suddenly let out miserable screams, as if something terrifying had happened. Looking carefully, some strange and terrifying creatures would occasionally flash past the black mist that enveloped them. Occasionally, the cold gaze in front of him would cause Qin Lun to be slightly shocked.
As for the masked guard behind him, he was now thrown down by Venus, who was hiding in the shadows. The big cat’s sharp canine teeth bit deeply into his neck. Blood gushed out from the wound, and his eyes twitched and he was no longer alive.
By the time the guard died, the two guards shrouded in black mist had already fallen to the ground.
Through the gradually dissipating fog, Qin Lun glanced at the two and couldn’t help but be shocked. The masks of the two guards had been taken off by them at some unknown time, and they had forcefully strangled themselves to death with both of their hands.
His scaled face was bloodshot, and his brown eyes bulged out. His exposed body was dried up like a mummy, his face stiff, and his death was incomparably tragic.
Qin Lun looked at the short half of the energy in the death list and frowned slightly as he fell into deep thought. The A-level skill that he had just attempted to cast for the first time, the Nine Layers of Hell, was clearly not as simple as pure illusion.
This was because he hadn’t completely mastered this skill yet. He was only testing his skills and hadn’t fully unleashed the power of the skill. Otherwise, the black fog’s range would have been much wider.
He didn’t know which of the nine levels of hell the two guards had seen, or whether it was the ninth level that had been rotated. However, no matter what they saw, pure illusions could not make people dry up and dehydrate, and they would die like dried corpses.
However, now was clearly not the right time to dig deeper. Qin Lun quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and smiled as he looked at the dozen golden treasure chests.
In order to prevent the treasure chest from containing magic traps, Qin Lun stood far away outside the secret room. A few green thorns that looked like living creatures emerged from his fingertips, and he nimbly opened all the treasure chests.
There were no imaginary magic traps on the treasure chest. Most of the ten chests contained precious metals and jewelry. Only one of the smaller chests contained magic crystals and cores.
Magic crystals were mineral crystals that contained magic elements, while magic cores were elemental innate crystals produced by a few magical beasts. After processing, both of them could be used as inlay for alchemy items and magic wands.
Qin Lun casually flipped through the precious metals and jewelry in the treasure chest. He bent down and tore off the black robe of a masked guard. He had a large bag of gold coins with a certain pattern. However, he didn’t even look at the valuable jewelry.
On the front was a golden-haired goddess wearing a jeweled crown, and on the back was a luxurious carriage wrapped in two willows. This was a gold coin forged by the church of the Goddess of Trade and Wealth, Woggin.
Ferren Continent has a large number of countries. Apart from some self-sufficient Fairy Court, most human countries have foreign trade.
From the coast of Sword Bay and Treasure Sword Sea, the trade route connecting Coldwinter City, Deepwater City and Bird’s Gate; The Gate of Bod to Ascatra, the capital of Amm, on the Gulf Coast Highway to Calimshan; The golden path across the continent from east to west; As well as the two commercial harbors surrounding the Falling Star Sea and Steam Lake, Ferren Continent’s commercial trade is very prosperous and developed.
Most of Ferren’s kingdoms had their own currencies, mainly gold and silver. Of course, there were also a few marine races that used exquisite shells, while forest races used animal fur and magic crystal cores as circulating materials.
As the main currency, gold coins were naturally the most important. However, the gold coins in many countries had different amounts of gold. There were even fake gold coins, which often caused some commercial disputes. However, none of the chambers of commerce and organizations involved in the trade dared to make any fake gold coins. This was the gold coins of the Fortune Church.
No idiot would risk offending the Goddess of Wealth to take such a risk. This was simply thinking that he had too much money and too long a life.
Kieran was Apostle. Toril’s worldly wealth was meaningless to him. As long as his wealth could meet his adventure needs, he naturally had to choose the least controversial goddess gold coins. As for those expensive jewelry, how could he have the time to dispose of it? It was too heavy for him to carry it with him.
After tossing the bag of gold coins into his storage space, Qin Lun focused his attention on the treasure chest where the magic crystals and cores were stored, as well as the sheepskin scrolls and magic scepter.
After some thought, he picked out more than ten of the best-selling magic crystals and cores in the box and wrapped them up. At the same time, he took away the bundle of sheepskin scrolls from the treasure chest. However, he used the Evil Dagger to pry off the large purple gemstone at the top of the gorgeous Silver Scepter and only took away the bare staff.
It wasn’t that his storage space couldn’t accommodate him, but that he didn’t dare to take more. Snatching the sacrifices of the gods was a taboo matter. If he snatched too many of them to attract the attention of the Sharp Queen, then the gains would not be worth the losses.
As for the Mysterious Silver Scepter, from the perspective of characters and sacrifices, it was of course a gem that weighed more than the scepter itself.
However, for Apostle, the staff with a large number of magic runes inscribed on it was the most precious. Elemental gems and other items could be exchanged from the Shattered Star Shopping List in minutes.
“Boom!” Just as Qin Lun finished searching, a slight tremor came from above the secret room, and dust and stone powder fell.
“Almost there. If we stay any longer, those two fellows won’t know how much of a commotion they’re going to make!” Qin Lun felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly. His face darkened and he hurriedly rushed out of the secret room.
He unfolded his body and flew towards the direction where the masked guard had just arrived. Since this secret room was the center of the stronghold, then the direction the Bronze Sheep Face had just come from naturally had a secret passage leading to the outside world.
Qin Lun’s guess was correct. At the spot where he had just met the bronze sheep’s face, another iron ladder hung a bit further ahead. After climbing up the stairs, he finally saw an upward stone staircase in the corridor.
At the end of the stone steps was a square manhole lid. The noise and footsteps on the ground could be clearly seen through the manhole lid.
