The Death List Novel - Chapter 694
Chapter 694 Anomaly
Jillim’s chest jumped up and down a few times, then he raised his double-edged axe and ruthlessly chopped the head of the arachnid Elves to pieces.
“Hmph, I hate creatures with sharp ears!” Old Dwarf turned his head and glared at Qin Lun, blew his beard, and turned into the other side of the passageway. However, he did not propose a return trip.
The dwarves looked at each other, shrugged at each other, and quickly followed. Mastasia and Elistine laughed silently, knowing that Old Dwarf’s words were not directed at all Elves.
“Ha, looks like you’re mad at Elder Jillim!” Lorraine patted Qin Lun on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Good luck. I was worried that you would be beaten flat by him just now!”
Qin Lun spread out his hands and smiled. If he didn’t provoke Jillim, even if this mission was over, he would still be helpless.
Everyone pa.s.sed by the arachnid Elves that was split into two by Jillim and couldn’t help but stop to take a look. Old Dwarf’s technique was very clean. The arachnid Elves’s body was very neatly cut, and the arachnid shell covering its ribs could even see the keratinized texture.
However, the arachnid Elves’s resilient vitality could be seen at a glance. Even if it was already dead, the eight legs of its lower body would still twitch from time to time, causing the people passing by to be cautious. They were afraid that if they were not careful, they would be hung up by its barbed claws.
“These arachnid Elves are indeed very difficult to deal with!” After examining the two corpses, Weiss frowned.
Even though Jillim had already dealt with this arachnid Elves with his two axes, the battle process wasn’t simple. Old Dwarf was a legendary expert in the warrior profession, and he was just in a state of rage.
Qin Lun and Wei Si watched carefully. Old Dwarf’s two attacks left little room for the arachnid Elves to adjust. Otherwise, the battle process would drag on for several rounds.
Originally, after the first attack, he should have adjusted his breathing slightly, but with the powerful physique of the legendary warrior, Jillim forcefully withstood the reaction force of the impact, which was equivalent to eating the high-speed impact of the arachnid Elves alive.
If the combatants were the other members of the team, they would definitely suffer internal injuries. Even high-grade Apostle Wei Si was no exception.
This was just an arachnid Elves. What if Gilliam faced two or more arachnids? They had guessed that there were close to thirty arachnid Elves through the opening at the top of the labyrinth just now.
“Yes, there are also Priest Zhuo Er and the warriors!” Qin Lun said worriedly, “Let Romon and Hill come over. We need a wide range of magical skills to support the battle!”
“I’ve already notified them!” Wei Si nodded silently. Apart from a dozen or so low-level warriors and mineral hunters, the other mid-and high-level experts and Apostle had all entered the maze fortress of the Ox-Head Monster.
‘”Lorin, you go” Qin Lun stalled Lorin and quietly pointed at the old dwarf in front of him.
“Alright, I know!” Lorraine heard Qin Lun’s instructions and only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
After Lorraine found Jillim, the old dwarf couldn’t help but glance back at Qin Lun. However, he had just ventured on the arachnid Elves, and his emotions had stabilized a little. After thinking for a while, he stopped where he was and took out the meat patties and water to eat.
They needed to wait here for the other Apostle, because the traps along the way had been eliminated, and they had been guided by Qin Lun and the others. Hill and the others didn’t dawdle for a few days like they did. In just two hours, they arrived at Qin Lun’s location.
Seeing Romon, Hill, the monkey, and the priestess arrive, Jillim stood up silently, carried the double-edged axe on his shoulder, and led the way at the front of the line.
“Don’t you need me to scout ahead?” The thief asked doubtfully.
‘”Jilim is a legendary expert. Although perception is not a physical combat profession, most warriors above the high rank have a passive feeling similar to the sixth sense. Once they approach a certain threshold, they will definitely discover it.”
Wei Si said thoughtfully, “Besides, Old Dwarf is a Legendary expert. He should have Domain Skills. It seems that the enemy is not far away.”
“A warrior’s domain may not be able to discover stealth thieves!” The monkey muttered in a low voice, but he only retorted in private. Thieves that could be exempted from domain scouting had basically stepped into the legends. Arachnid Elves and the Ox-Head Monster were obviously not among them.
Wei Si’s judgment was very accurate. From here on, Jillim did not do much scouting of his surroundings. He did not hesitate to choose one of the directions every time he reached the corner of the passageway.
The team encountered several traps along the way. However, it was no longer effective for them at this time. After all, the team was very strong after the concentration of personnel. A small number of trap mechanisms were unable to stop them in the slightest.
Ever since the arachnid Elves appeared, they hadn’t encountered any other arachnid Elves. Everyone guessed that the arachnid Elves should belong to the patrol on the outskirts. There shouldn’t be a second one in its area.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Jillim’s explosion just now was worth it. At the very least, he didn’t let the patrolling arachnid Elves send out a warning ahead of time.
“Ah!” Qin Lun suddenly cried out in pain. He felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if a cone had been knocked into the back of his head.
Everyone looked at him in astonishment. A few people in the team, such as Wei Si and Hill, were even more vigilant as they looked around, afraid of being ambushed by unknown existences.
Unfortunately, the surroundings were calm. Only Qin Lun knelt on one knee, one hand supporting the wall, the other covering his head. His entire body was trembling slightly.
“Ferrari, what’s wrong with you?” Elistine supported Qin Lun and asked with a concerned expression.
“Nothing much. It’s probably because of the frequent use of the Eye Skill in the past few days that the spell backlash has occurred!” Qin Lun lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly. However, his trembling body slowly began to calm down.
“That’s good!” Elistine heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Qin Lun up from the ground.
However, she did not see Qin Lun lowered his head. The three hands in the silver dial in his right eye were spinning crazily. When Qin Lun raised his head, the silver dial had already quietly retreated. Apart from his pale face covered in cold sweat, it was as if the scene just now had never happened.
“Are you alright?” Wei Si frowned slightly and asked in confusion on the guild channel.
Spells like backlash could only deceive plot characters. Apostle relied on magic power to drive their skills. Without magic power, they could use medicines to recover. Unless they had no other choice, it was impossible for them to cause a spell backlash.
“There’s something wrong with my body. I’m fine now!” Qin Lun could not perfunctory Elistine like Wei Si, so he could only reveal a part of the truth. He believed that Wei Si would not pursue the matter further.
Sure enough, Wei Si only nodded and didn’t ask any further. Every Apostle had their own secrets. Although they were in a cooperative relationship, they weren’t true teammates, so it was naturally inconvenient for them to continue questioning.
“Qin Lun (Qin Lun)?” Hill and Rand cautiously restricted the affiliates of the guild channel and greeted each other.
“It’s a mental problem!” Qin Lun hesitated for a moment before finally telling them the truth.
“Oh!” Lan De frowned slightly, but did not ask further. In Fireworks’ eyes, this was already a private matter, so it was not convenient for him to ask again.
The same was true for Hill. The mental problems of the five murderers were basically their most taboo reverse scales. Unless he said it out loud, no one else would take the initiative to ask.
“Hill, wait!” However, just as Shepherd gave up, Qin Lun stopped him alone and gave him a look.
“What did you discover?” Hill’s eyes lit up as he quietly lagged behind by two steps and walked side by side with Qin Lun.
“I didn’t find anything. I have something for you!” Qin Lun slightly turned around, a flash of light flashing across his hand as he stuffed something similar to a ball of meat into Hill’s hand.
Hill didn’t even look at what it was. He flipped through it with one hand and put the items into his storage space. Obviously, Qin Lun didn’t want others to see what he had given him, so he didn’t hand it over through the guild warehouse.
“This is … you really want to give me this thing?!” Hill glanced at the new items in his storage space and his expression finally changed.
“Yes, just in case!” Qin Lun’s face was as heavy as water, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m going to disappear soon …”
“Yes … Joey Foster!” Hill knitted his brows tightly, and he had a faint sense of foreboding.
“It’s not Joey. He disappeared before I did!” Qin Lun smiled helplessly, “I should have noticed it a long time ago. Originally, I thought that there was still enough time to complete this world mission, but now …”
“Will he come back?” Hill glanced at Qin Lun and asked cautiously, “Those servants of yours …”
Shepherd finally realized something and his expression became unpredictable.
“I’ll be back. I just need to wait for a while. I don’t know how long it will take. After this happens, the interval between each time will be longer than the previous time.” Qin Lun’s eyes were a little confused. This was the only thing that even he couldn’t control.
“Just come back.” Hill heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “I can’t see that you still attach so much importance to those three servants. You actually gave me such a precious item as a reward for them. I know, I’ll take care of Frank and the others!”
“No, you don’t understand. I didn’t give this to you for them!” Qin Lun suddenly frowned again, as if he was enduring some kind of great pain. Sweat kept dripping from his face as he said with a complicated expression, “… You and Rand must be careful next. I’m no longer trustworthy.”
“I see!” Hill’s pupils shrank as he nodded solemnly.
‘”Also, I need you to do me a favor” Qin Lun’s voice became lower and lower, gradually becoming inaudible, while Hill’s expression became worse and worse, becoming uglier and uglier. Finally, he nodded with difficulty.
