The Death List Novel - Chapter 610
Chapter 610 Escape
“I’m finally out!” Qin Lun pushed open the secret door and walked up from the ground.
The underground well hidden door of this underground dark room was located behind a forage storehouse. Its position was very concealed, and it was surrounded by neatly tied haystacks.
Qin Lun’s expression was indifferent as he patted off the grass on his shoulder and walked around the haystack towards the warehouse entrance.
“Why did you just come out? Hurry up and leave!” As soon as he left the door, he saw Hill and Rand running towards him. At this distance, Hill’s telepathy was able to pinpoint his location.
“What’s the matter?” Qin Lun asked curiously. Hill and Rand were now dressed as human mercenaries, their faces ashen and dirt-faced. They looked a little embarrassed.
Although this carriage shop was the secret stronghold of the Amberry Church, he had come all the way from underground. Apart from the bronze lamb-noodled Intermediate Fishman Warrior, who had caused him a little trouble, it was basically smooth and unavoidable that he felt a little relaxed.
“Let’s talk after we leave. It’ll be troublesome when that person comes out.” Rand pulled him to the backyard of the carriage dealership.
“Qin Lun, take back your summoned beast. Its aura is too conspicuous.” Hill pointed to a dark shadow not far behind the youth and solemnly instructed.
“Can you see Venus?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, but he still waved at the big cat. The Shadow Gale Leopard turned into a black light and merged into the Apostle Soul Seal in his right palm.
“The Spirit Absorber is a creature from a dark region. It is extremely sensitive to shadow creatures. Furthermore, my naked attribute perception has already broken through a hundred. How can I not see through the stealth of a Class 7 Magical Beast?” Hill said weakly. His agility was not high, and he had added a supplementary divine spell to himself. He was sweating profusely as he followed behind the two of them.
While Qin Lun was running, he was observing the Six Paths with his eyes and ears. He found that the carriage shop was indeed very big, mostly made of stone. Although there were many fires, the fire did not spread quickly, and the chaos would probably not last long.
Along the way, Qin Lun discovered that the people in the carriage shop were basically ordinary people. The strength of the guards in the carriage shop was also very limited, and they were currently busy fighting the fire.
Most of the guards were human mercenaries, covering the two of them from the side. Even Qin Lun, who was wearing a mask and a black robe, was ignored by these people.
This situation saved the three of them a lot of trouble along the way. Not long after, the three of them crossed the outer wall of the carriage dealership and sneaked into the crowd outside. Qin Lun finally had time to inquire about the situation with the two of them.
“The guards here don’t seem to be professionals. Why are you in such a sorry state? Did you run into each other’s high-level experts?” Qin Lun asked with a chuckle.
“It’s not a high-level profession, it’s a legendary profession!” Hill rolled his eyes unhappily. “Our luck is too bad. We randomly found a black spot and there are legendary experts squatting there.”
“At first, it went pretty smoothly. I set the fire in front and Hill looked for the garage in the back.” Rand smiled bitterly and said, “I just looked around and didn’t get much property. Furthermore, the defense here is much weaker than I thought. I let go of my hands and feet. I originally hoped that they would rescue the vault in panic and show us a clear path, but I didn’t expect …”
“I didn’t expect to hit an iron plate, did I?” Qin Lun couldn’t help but be a little handsome. He now knew why the underground dark room used for sacrifices was empty except for the two guards. It turned out that the upper echelons of the Amberry Church had already been lured away by these two fellows.
“If it’s a legendary profession, it won’t be so easy to get rid of, right? Did you guys release a big move?” Qin Lun raised his head and looked at the carriage shop behind him. He didn’t notice any particularly powerful magical fluctuations for a moment.
“I used the Earth Cage!” Hill stroked the goatee on his chin and said with a smile.
He was the oldest of the five murderers. Normally, the image of him possessed by the shattered starry sky was in his forties, unlike Qin Lun, who was always in his twenties.
“A Tier 7 Earth Element spell can block Legendary Profession?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows, feeling that it was somewhat inconceivable.
“Haha, don’t think that just because you use Magic Scroll so often, you can make a Hunter work part-time as a law major.” Hill shook his head and smiled. “If he could really become a mage by dumping Magic Scroll, would there be any more Apostle who would change professions?”
“Oh, is there a big difference between Magic Scroll and the same mage skill?” When Qin Lun heard what Hill said, he was immediately very interested. He ignored the fact that the few of them were still on the run and asked.
‘”Let’s put it this way. Using Magic Scroll by an illegal profession is like throwing a hand grenade. Although it’s powerful, it can’t be controlled after it’s released. The angle, direction, and durability of the magic power released are all very poor. How effective it is depends on luck.”
‘”As for the law profession, using Magic Scroll is like being an expert in explosives. Not only can it amplify the power of explosives, it can also be controlled to explode within a specific range and time. Play whatever you want. One plus one is far more powerful than two.”
“In addition, the fact that the Earth Cage can trap that legendary expert has a lot to do with his combat profession.” Hill added with a smile.
Qin Lun asked carefully before realizing that the legendary experts that Hill and Rand had provoked were somewhat special.
Although this man was wearing a priest’s hat, a black silk scarf, and a black robe, and was unable to identify himself, he was clearly related to the Fishman Warrior Qin Lun had encountered in the underground sewer. He was also a marine intelligent creature, and he might be a high-ranking priest of the Church of Amberry.
He belonged to the dual cultivation profession of Devil and Martial Arts. His strength and physique were very strong, but his agility and dexterity were insufficient. His martial skills were even inferior to martial artists and warriors. Close combat depended entirely on his physical fitness. As for his spells, they were all water-type skills. They were probably divine spells bestowed by the Ocean Goddess.
After Hill used the Earth Cage, he had originally planned to use a water dragon wave to break it down, but the two spells had unexpected additional reactions, and he trapped himself.
One had to know that Hill possessed a water elemental bloodline before he could use the Spirit Absorber’s brain. Even though it was later covered by the Spirit Vampires’ bloodline, the water elemental affinity had been preserved. The ogre priest could also affect the magical structure of the water dragon wave.
As a result, the Earth Cage and the Waterdragon Wave fused into a different mix of magic. The Earth Cage, which had a strong defensive effect, was surrounded by a wall that was as thick as steel and cement, and it was several meters thick, forcefully trapping the Priest of Amberry.
Of course, even though this mixed magic was powerful, it could only trap him for more than ten seconds. However, with this gap, Hill and Rand had already escorted Qin Lun and escaped from the carriage dealership.
The Amberry Church’s stronghold in the city itself was invisible, so the expert naturally could not chase after him from the carriage shop.
…
At this moment, the fire in the carriage shop was slowly under control. Ignoring the mercenary guards on the ground, a group of masked black-robed men were gathered at the entrance of the secret room where Qin Lun had taken the sheep by surprise.
“How much did we lose?” The leader of the black-robed men was tall and large, and his large hand was covered in green scales as he grabbed onto a coral scepter.
Priest Amberly tore off the black scarf on his face, revealing a shark head. His sharp serrated teeth shone with a cold light under the torch. This was a high-grade shark beastman.
Hill and Rand had misjudged him. This Amberry Priest had not truly stepped into the Legendary Domain. He was only a high-level expert.
However, the Ocean Goddess had bestowed him with the Water Domain, causing the two of them to misunderstand. Coupled with the fact that the sea race was on land, their combat strength would be greatly weakened, which was why it was so easy for the two of them to escape.
“Priest Luo De, the enemies who sneaked into the underground temple did not take away much of the sacrifice of the goddess. They lost less than a fraction of this property. However, one of the remaining Templar knights died, and a few ordinary guards were also killed.” A black-robed man beside the shark man said respectfully.
“Clean up the waterway network and see if there are any enemies hiding in the shadows. Also … immediately transfer the Goddess’ offerings out of the Bird’s Gate.” The Sharkman Priest’s eyes flickered for a moment before he instructed in a deep voice.
“Priest Luo De, do you want to give up this newly built underground temple?” One of the black-robed men asked, somewhat puzzled, “You’ve put in a lot of effort here. The next time you want to find another underground base at Bird’s Gate, it won’t be easy! Is it worth it just for those little thieves?”
“Those people are not thieves. They have the ability to sneak into the center of the underground temple without being discovered by me. There are two powerful accomplices outside. Not everyone can do this.” The sharkman said thoughtfully, “And one of them gave me a strange aura, probably a cleric from another church.”
“Priest Luo De, are you saying that those people are here to cause trouble on purpose? Could it be that they are here to expose this Goddess’ shrine to the Border Gate?” A black-robed man said resentfully, “The mortals of the Border Gate are ungrateful people. They don’t want to sincerely believe in the goddess, but they fear the goddess’s power. I really hope that the goddess can set off a big wave and wash them clean.”
“No matter what, it’s almost the sacrifice day of the goddess. This batch of sacrifices can’t be lost. Even if we give up this temple temporarily, we need to ensure the safety of the sacrifices first.” The Sharkman Priest hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and sent his subordinates to transfer their belongings.
“Priest, what about those people who broke into the temple?” A certain black-robed man remembered something and turned around to ask.
“Hmph, the glory of the Church cannot be tarnished. No matter who offends the Ocean Goddess, they will have to pay a heavy price.” Luo De pondered for a while and said in a deep voice, “Even if the locals of Border Gate know where the shrine is, they wouldn’t dare to offend us directly. Those three intruders should be foreign mercenaries. They should offer bounties to the assassin organizations and mercenary guilds of Border Gate to hunt down those three outsiders.”
“Priest Luo De, we don’t have the details of those three people.” The black-robed men exchanged a few glances and said somewhat awkwardly.
“A bunch of trash!” Luo De was furious. “Go and tell those greedy people that one of them is a Fiery Magic Warrior, and the other should be a Dark Magic profession. The last one … should be a Summoner or Hunter!”
The tall sharkman sniffed the scent of the secret room, and the ugly fish revealed a sinister smile. “He has a Shadow Magical Beast.”
