The Death List Novel - Chapter 631
Chapter 631 Ghost-Faced Squid
“Lago!” Qin Lun shouted loudly. Without caring about reminding the others, he flicked his left wrist and the Evil Dagger shot towards the Thief’s vest like black lightning in everyone’s startled eyes.
After shooting out the dagger, Qin Lun’s right hand trembled again. The Wind Chasing Frost that had appeared in his hand at some unknown time turned into a ferocious ice chain with a metallic claw at the top. This was another weapon form formed from the Wind Chasing Frost Weapon Box fused with the dark blue claw chains.
The Frost Ghost Claw arrived first. The metal ghost claw at the front grabbed onto the evil dagger that had been shot out earlier, and a black soul rope that had no substance extended out from the front of the Life Slaughter Relic. It circled around the thief’s waist and abruptly pulled him over.
Lago didn’t know what had happened and revealed a dazed expression. However, his expression quickly changed. Just as the soul rope was pulling him, an enormous object swept through the originally calm water like a tornado, sweeping the fog towards the place where he was originally standing.
As the mist dissipated, the crowd instantly saw the object with the help of the faint light emitted from Winnie’s staff. It was a tentacle that was tens of meters long and almost a meter in diameter.
This giant tentacle stretched out from the water and looked far away. It was still a long distance away from the shore. No wonder when the fog was thick, Lago could only hear the sound of paddling and could not really discover its existence.
The tentacles didn’t catch Lago, as if they were a little angry. They circled the water for a while and threw it towards everyone’s location again, causing everyone to jump back in a hurry.
When the tentacles were thrown not far in front of the crowd, everyone realized that this thing was truly seeping.
Its surface was filled with basin-sized suckers. It was a sucker, but in fact, it was more like the mouth of a ferocious beast, with three rings of sharp teeth arranged neatly inside. The tip of the tentacle was more like a giant flower, with four branched shuttle-shaped flesh petals covered with serrated teeth.
Seeing this, Lago’s face was filled with joy as he cast a grateful look at Qin Lun. If Silver-haired elf hadn’t pulled him just now, he would have been torn into pieces by the tentacles and devoured alive.
Regardless of the Thief’s own strength, compared to this kind of thing, there was no chance of winning.
“This isn’t … Ghost-Faced Squid, is it?” Mastasia almost couldn’t believe her eyes. She widened her eyes in shock, and the camouflage paint on her face twitched as her cheeks twitched.
“What is it?” Qin Lun asked cautiously as he dodged.
“Oh? Oh! A sea beast, how could there be such a thing in the Land of Death? How is this possible?” Masta Xia was a little incoherent. “Could it be that Bodean raised it here to guard the treasure?”
“Impossible. Other than the gods, Legendary domain experts do not have the ability to sign summoning contracts with such creatures.” Qin Lun thought for a moment before shaking his head.
The Ferren Continent was a magical world, and it had to follow the basic magical rules.
Qin Lun also had summoned creatures. Whether such a large legendary creature could sign a summoning contract was not a big deal. The magic power it usually needed to maintain in the pet paradise was an astronomical figure. It could not even endure a weaker god, let alone a legendary expert.
If it was a real creature, Bodean wouldn’t be able to bring it here, not even through the Chongsa River or the Winding River. If it was still a young body, there was a high chance that it would be kept here.
However, it was still too late for such a huge marine beast to grow from its young to this size, at least in the Ancient Era, from the era when Bodean lived. Moreover, if the legendary pirates intended to use it to guard the treasure, why would they only bring a cub over?
“There is only one possibility. The meandering and Chongsa rivers are connected to the ocean. When it was still a young creature, it migrated here along a certain river and groundwater network.” After Mustacha calmed down, she could not help but laugh bitterly.
She had never seen such a thing before. The harpsichord’s rich adventure experience had helped her, but at times it had restricted her mind. Naturally, it was impossible to breed such a huge ocean beast in a swamp environment, because the water depth and width were not enough.
However, the Land of Death was no ordinary swamp. Who knew what had happened here in the Ancient Era? Several epic wars had occurred, which meant that this place had been bombarded by countless forbidden spells. It was entirely possible to leave behind a huge and deep lake.
Didn’t the elven mages also use forbidden spells in the northern part of the Jondas Kingdom during the Battle between the Jondar Elves and the Jondas Kingdom to bombard a stretch of Weihong Sea that was connected to the Falling Star Sea?
There have been so many epic wars in the Land of Death, so what’s so great about leaving behind a huge pit that can feed sea beasts?
“Stop talking nonsense. Which way do you want to run?” Rick shouted at the two of them, and the usually calm knight seemed a little irritated.
He didn’t regret accepting this hiring mission, so he rushed to Qin Lun’s aid to Winnie and Largo time and time again. Even if he had to reverse the flow of time, he still had to rush over to help. However, he really didn’t want to die here. It wasn’t because he was afraid of death, but because he still had many unfulfilled wishes.
“If it’s a mature Ghost-Faced Squid” Mastasia’s face revealed a trace of bitterness. She slowly removed the longbow from her back and said with an ashamed expression, “It’s my fault this time. We went too deep into this lake. I’m afraid we’ve been surrounded. You guys can escape. I’ll try my best to buy you more time!”
“Surround?” Everyone was a little surprised. They all turned around and looked at the calm Highland Elves. Was this thing still living in groups? Then there really was no way to survive!
“You will know in a moment. I will help you open a passageway. Remember, there is only one chance. Don’t look back!” After Highland Elves finished speaking, he closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing rate. The expression on his face was exceptionally resolute.
Qin Lun looked at the calm Masta Xia with a strange light flashing in his eyes. He didn’t know if there was an illusion, but this’big ‘beauty, who had always been careless and had a rough personality, had actually felt a strange beauty after she was determined to die.
“Woo ~ ~ ~” After several failed attacks, a muffled sound similar to that of a horn came from the underwater surface of the lake. Soon after, the water began to boil, and a “mountain” that was tens of times larger than a barbaric bull hooligan emerged from the surface of the water.
“How ugly!” The “mountain” that emerged from the water looked like a triangular pyramid, giving everyone the first impression of being ugly.
The tentacle was a creature that resembled a squid or squid, but upon closer inspection, it was different from a squid. The squid was actually a mollusk, apart from a horny plate in its body, but the giant marine beast in front of it was not.
Its body was covered in lake-green scales, each the size of a millstone, protecting the giant beast’s body like a layer of armor. The tip of his head was as slender as a spear, and it was like the collision angle of a sailing battleship, with a metallic light reflecting off it.
Now Qin Lun knew why it was called the Ghost-Faced Squid. On the front of its triangular pyramid, there was a part that looked like a human’s facial features.
However, apart from his eyes, there were only three pitch-black holes left in his nose and mouth. In the middle of the black hole that represented his nose, there was actually a slender horny plate that looked like a twisted skull. Wasn’t it just like a ghost mask?
At the same time, everyone knew why Mastasia said they were surrounded.
After the Ghost-Faced Squid’s main body appeared on the surface of the water, everyone realized that its tentacles were not only longer than what they had seen before, but there was also more than one tentacle. Apart from the tentacles that were waving in front of them, there were seven or eight other giant tentacles dozens of meters behind them that were quietly swimming towards everyone like giant pythons.
Everyone suddenly came to their senses. No wonder Mastasia would say that it was her fault. The dirt road leading to the middle of the lake was completely a bait. It was like a chopstick that sent everyone to the mouth of the Ghost-Faced Squid.
The Highland Elves knew that there were legendary creatures here, but they were unable to discover this obvious flaw. They even brought everyone into a desperate situation. Only then would they blame themselves to the point of death.
“We really can’t underestimate these ancient beasts. They are smarter than many intelligent races.” Qin Lun’s gaze flickered as he looked at the Ghost-Faced Squid in front of him.
The lake may be formed naturally, but the few dirt roads across the center of the lake are probably not. If the lake was deep enough to feed an ocean beast, the dirt road above the water would be like a steep cliff.
There wouldn’t be such a terrain in a swamp environment. It should have been personally modified by the Ghost-Faced Squid. As I thought, these dirt roads are its “chopsticks”.
Unlike the barbarian bull hooligans he encountered in front of him, the Ghost-Faced Squid’s tentacles were like a net that caught them on such a narrow dirt road. This was practically a desperate situation.
“Do you want to use it?” Hill asked seriously on the guild channel.
“En, Highland Elves can’t die yet. Let me do it!” The person who answered wasn’t Qin Lun, but Rand. Fireworks revealed an excited expression as he took out an ancient magic scroll from his bosom.
“Bring these two with you and you’ll be able to increase your control!” Qin Lun raised his hand and threw two items to Rand. They were his Iron Cross Medal and the Lunar Chain.
Lunar Chain This bright gold item has a passive special effect-Concentration. Wearing this accessory could achieve the effect of concentration and calm, reduce the requirement of casting skills, and enhance the accuracy of skills. This was the right time to use it.
As for the Iron Cross Medal, at this moment, it wasn’t because of its stats amplification effect, but because of the special effects of another equipment, increasing the magical power of an active skill of the apostle!
“Also, this can reduce your mana consumption!” Hill smiled and threw over a bracelet-shaped piece of equipment.
This was the Demon Absorbing Bracelet he had obtained from killing Ghost Martial Artist Michelle in the Illusory Demon World a long time ago. It was basically the same as the Ghost Cage Hand. It could absorb blood and demons, weaken enemies, and at the same time help him recover.
“Are you ready to see the fireworks display?” Rand grinned, pulled the black leather gloves in his hands, and tore open the magic scroll.
