The Death List Novel - Chapter 648
Chapter 648 Day Of Escape
Although Elistine was a high-tier druid, her combat experience was not comparable to Mastasia’s. Highland Elves has been traveling all over the country since he came of age, and the title of harpist master is not for nothing.
However, this battle might be the only exception. Elistine had witnessed the battle prowess of the trolls before and knew very well about the trolls that had captured him. Mustacha’s understanding of the trolls was limited to rumors, and her judgement was inaccurate.
This gap in understanding caused Mastasia to fail!
When Elistine turned into a bear and snapped his target’s neck, causing it to lose control of its body, Elves’s scimitar got stuck in the other troll’s neck joint.
Because this troll was drowsy with its head lowered, the blood sprayed out from its neck was almost two meters tall. It was simply like a bathed blood fountain. However, this kind of injury, which was undoubtedly fatal for ordinary humanoid races, was not enough to instantly kill the stubborn trolls.
The unbearable pain caused the troll to wake up from its slumber. Unlike Qin Lun and Elistine’s two targets, it still had the ability to retaliate. At the same time, the pain caused the troll to instantly understand that it had been attacked by an enemy.
It swung its palm backwards with all its might and landed on Mustacha’s chest. Highland Elves was caught off guard and flew into the air like he was hit by a large truck. He spat out a mouthful of blood mist and rolled off the platform at the top of the mountain.
However, Masta Xia’s temper was extremely strong. After suffering heavy injuries, she did not forget her duty. She tightly grabbed onto the scimitar that had been stuck in place and pulled it out. With a’puchi ‘sound, she actually managed to pry out a broken cervical vertebra of the troll.
The pale white bone spikes from the Giant Demon’s back neck looked exceptionally fierce amidst the blood mist sprayed out by the two.
The Giant Demon’s ugly face twisted into a ball and let out a roar.
“Venus!” Qin Lun’s expression changed slightly when the troll struck Flying Masta Xia, and he let out a soft cry.
In the night, an even more dense black shadow flashed by. A vigorous black panther appeared in front of the troll. Its sharp fangs were deeply embedded in the troll’s throat, causing the roar that it had just emitted a few syllables to abruptly stop.
“Bang!” A trace of despair appeared in the Giant Demon’s scarlet eyes as he fiercely slapped the Dark Shadow Gale Leopard’s abdomen.
Venus almost spat out his internal organs from his mouth with this palm strike. His massive body flew up like straw, turning into a ball of black mist before it landed on the ground and rushing into the Apostle Mark on Qin Lun’s palm.
Fortunately, at this time, Qin Lun and Elistine had already freed up their hands and pounced on the swaying troll.
In the end, this stubborn troll was still dead, and he didn’t even have time to send out another warning signal. There were huge wounds on its neck, and Kieran and Elistine didn’t give it another chance.
“Are you alright?” Qin Lun used the soil to cover up the smell of blood on the platform and saw Mastasia climbing up the platform again. Highland Elves’s face was as pale as snow, and there was a deep palm print on the leather armor on his chest.
“I’ve long heard that the giant magic power is boundless. I didn’t expect it to have such a level of strength. It’s simply comparable to the Kambla Lil ‘Dragon I’ve encountered before. It seems that even a few of my ribs are broken!” Mustacha rubbed her chest and smiled bitterly.
“Fortunately, the meat pads are thick enough!” Qin Lun glanced at Elves’s tall chest on the high ground with a strange expression.
“Where are you looking?” A murderous aura suddenly came from behind Qin Lun. He couldn’t help but shiver. He hurriedly turned around and smiled at the expressionless Elven druid. He walked away dejectedly.
“Qin Lun, which side are you on?” While Elistine was wrapping up Mastasia’s wounds, Rand’s voice came from the guild channel. “These trolls are really difficult to deal with. The Toril world is exactly the same as you said. Dangerous creatures are everywhere. They are truly worthy of being called the peak Middle Demon world.”
Rand’s words carried a trace of excitement. Although he was different from the other four murderers, he was also passionate about adventures and battles. Perhaps this was the only place where fireworks could feel the value of survival.
“We’ve settled this. Is everything going well on your side?” Qin Lun asked with a smile.
“Fortunately, after all, there are plenty of manpower, so I’m not afraid of anything going wrong.”
Hearing what Rand said, Qin Lun knew that they were definitely in trouble. However, there were six of them, so they shouldn’t be as dangerous as this side.
After a while, the two groups finally gathered together again. Qin Lun saw Lago’s arm hanging in front of his chest with a bandage, as if it was fractured. Other than that, the others weren’t injured.
“Hurry up and leave this place as soon as possible. After bypassing the Giant Demon Town, Tianming still has some time to make two more wooden rafts. Otherwise, it would be terrible.” Said Mustacha weakly, leaning against Elistine’s shoulder.
Everyone nodded their heads. A sneak attack had allowed them to truly witness the battle prowess of the trolls, and they were not only extremely fortunate in their hearts. Fortunately, the troll villages in Elistine hadn’t blocked them. Otherwise, with these trolls’ battle prowess, everyone would probably be sacrificed.
The desire to survive caused everyone to erupt with unprecedented potential. Even as ordinary people, Old Steward Seaver and Mason did not slow down their advance. They finally bypassed the Giant Demon Town before dawn and returned to the riverside.
“Quick, make a raft. This time, only one big one will be made. Save some time.” Mastasia instructed, panting heavily.
The river channel here was already very close to the main road of the meandering river. The water surface was relatively wide, and it could accommodate a large wooden raft of more than ten people.
“The trolls are here, hurry up and leave!” About an hour later, the thief rushed out of the bushes like a frightened rabbit and waved at the crowd anxiously.
“Push the raft down the river bank!” Everyone’s expressions changed slightly. The speed at which the trolls chased after them shocked everyone. It seemed that these trolls had changed their posts in the middle of the night, and they had discovered a change in the two sentries.
At this time, the raft had not been completely tied up, and even some of the withered branches on the trees were still there. However, at this time, they could no longer care about it, so they could only push the semi-finished raft into the water.
After the wooden raft slid several hundred meters down the river, the figure of a troll finally appeared in the bushes on the bank of the river. The beasts angrily waved their weapons and roared at the wooden rafts in the middle of the river.
“Haha, eat your fart, you big green-skinned beasts!” Lago stood up from the raft, turned around, bent down, and waved his butt, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Of course, it also made the trolls on the shore even more frantic, and some of them even threw over the stone axes and wooden sticks in their hands crazily.
Although most of them were not accurate, each of these heavy weapons stirred up a ten-meter-tall wave like cannonballs, causing everyone on the wooden raft to be secretly shocked. The thieves even wiped away a cold sweat and resentfully stopped their meaningless provocations.
Three days later, a large wooden raft appeared on the wide river north of the troll’s claw. After escaping for so many days, Qin Lun and the others finally approached the exit of the river north of the troll’s claw.
Everyone on the raft could use the river water to do some cleaning every day, not to the extent that their heads were dirty, but their mental exhaustion had already reached its peak, even the three Murderer Demon Apostles were the same.
If it weren’t for everyone gathering together and being alone, they would probably have left an indelible psychological shadow.
Hill, who had been sleeping on the raft with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. “The stone ghosts sent a message. They saw some scattered cockscomb eagles. We should be close to the waterfall. Shouldn’t we go ashore near here?”
Although the Crow-crowned Eagle lived in the Giant Demon’s Claw Mountain Range, because there were Giant Demon Tribes inside the mountain range, most of them placed their nests on the periphery of the mountain range to avoid the Giant Demon’s hunt. The fact that the Stone Statue Ghosts were able to discover the Crow-crowned Eagle meant that they were not far from the mountain range exit.
Everyone looked at each other with relaxed smiles on their faces. They were finally about to escape.
“Thank you, Misra!” Winnie clasped her hands together and prayed to the Magic Goddess. Although she was not a believer, she prayed sincerely at this time.
“Ferrar!” Elistine suddenly threw himself into Qin Lun’s embrace, revealing an ugly smile that was even worse than crying. Sparkling tears gushed out of his eyes.
“Alright, alright!” Qin Lun sighed and patted Elven druid on the shoulder.
“Haha!” Everyone on the raft let out a kind laugh, but no matter how hard it sounded, there was a trace of inexplicable emotion.
Although there were only three people captured by the trolls, from the moment they entered the Land of Death until now, everyone had experienced a soul-stirring adventure. Other than themselves, who else could understand the hardships and hearts of the trolls.
After more than two hours, they finally arrived at the waterfall north of the troll’s claw. It was like the sound of galloping horses rumbling in their ears. The water mist rising from the bottom of the waterfall made it impossible for everyone to see what was happening below. A gorgeous rainbow pierced through the waterfall like a dream.
Standing on the bank at the edge of the waterfall, the winding river that extended into the distance was like a brocade belt embedded in the green ground. The dense forest on both sides of the river rustled in the wind, and the green canopy rose and fell like waves.
“How beautiful!” Rick took off his helmet, took a deep breath, and looked into the distance. A moment later, the knight suddenly turned to his two mercenary companions and said, “Winnie, Lago, I’m going back!”
“Go back?” Lago and Winnie exchanged a glance. Suddenly, they remembered something and their eyes lit up.
“Guild Leader, are you talking about returning to Shaya?” Lago asked in surprise, “But you said not long ago that you were going to wait for a while longer?”
“Yes, I originally wanted to temper myself, but now it seems like that’s just an excuse.” Rick’s resolute face revealed a bitter smile. “This adventure has allowed me to see myself clearly. What I lack is not strength, but a courageous heart!”
