The Death List Novel - Chapter 708
Chapter 708 Turn Around
“Is that the backhand of Elves on the surface? He wants to kill us as well?” Kirkner said hatefully.
There were only two sides fighting here. Since Dwarves and the human mercenaries had been destroyed, then the only people who would cheat Zhuo Er Elves would be Abyss Devil Hunters with unknown origins.
“I’m afraid it’s not from the Elves on the surface!” Wendini was much calmer than Kirkner. After pondering for a while, she frowned and said, “When we came to the Mushroom Forest, there was no third party in this area.
Surface Elves has been with us all this time, but he doesn’t have the time to activate such a large area of fire magic. “It’s just strange that since the enemies in the dark can cast such a large area of fire-type spells, why don’t they directly aim at our location?”
Wendini had determined most of the truth. Qin Lun really didn’t start this fire. No matter how sinister and cunning he was, there was only one person who didn’t know how to clone. Moreover, this fire was not a fire-type magic in the traditional sense, but some sort of time-and-place explosion to spread high-temperature combustibles.
Of all the people present, only one was able to control the explosion and flames to such an extent, and that was Fireworks Rand.
Weiss was lucky enough to follow the dwarves into the trap. However, Hill and Rand knew that Qin Lun would definitely bring Zhuo Er Elves over to attack and would never give up. Therefore, they were extremely careful along the way and were always at the back of the exploration team.
When the team arrived at the Mushroom Forest, Wei Si and the others relaxed. Instead, they confirmed the location of the battlefield. These two fellows did not follow the team into the mushroom forest, but left the team at the edge.
However, Hill and Rand didn’t go too far. The fireworks used their incomplete psychic power to create a lot of explosives, which were placed all over the mushroom forest, faintly including the entire mushroom forest in the fire range.
These explosives were similar to the mindset bombs he used to use in the Hunter’s World to help Qin Lun escape. However, explosives at that time focused on explosive power, while explosives now focus on high temperatures and flames.
Because the explosives were far away from the battlefield, they could not deal specific damage to Zhuo Er Elves, but Rand and Hill did not aim for direct damage. They wanted to use the mushrooms to attack Zhuo Er Elves.
From the moment the mushrooms personally appeared to warn Jillim, one could tell how much these tree demon-like creatures depended on their own ecological environment. This fire was enough to anger them and attack Zhuo Er Elves, the only one who was still in the mushroom forest.
Perhaps slow-moving mushrooms are harmless to Zhuo Er Elves, but don’t forget that mushrooms are not creatures known for their physical and magical attacks. Their abilities were even more abnormal. If the hallucinogenic spore cloud were to be described as the Earth Federation, it would simply be a nerve gas of mass destruction.
Even if the two Priest Zhuo Er had divine spells to protect them, the other mid-to low-level soldiers of Zhuo Er Elves would definitely be annihilated. This way, Qin Lun would no longer be able to hide behind Zhuo Er Elves. Only then would the two of them have the chance to come into contact with the new Qin Lun.
…
At this moment, on a hillside not far from the Mushroom Forest, “he” sat on a huge rock. He turned around and looked at the thick smoke billowing from the mushroom forest. He revealed a gentle smile.
“It must be the fireworks! Looks like they haven’t gone far. What are they trying to do?” Silver-haired elf crossed his fingers and held his chin. His eyes flickered, “Those two substitutes really did find a few smart’companions’. Could it be that they were making such a big commotion just to see me?”
“Extremely boring!” He curled his lips and stood up to leave. He only took two steps before stopping and thoughtfully rubbing his nose. “Yi, something’s wrong! Those two substitutes are also part of my personality. Could it be that I really like to play around with my family …”
As Silver-haired elf thought about it, his face darkened. He bent down and rubbed his hair hard.
“Ah ~ ~ Forget it, let’s go back and take a look? Alright, let’s go back and take a look!”
On the other side of the forest opposite Silver-haired elf, Weiss, who had just escaped from the forest, also saw the fire behind him. The fire illuminated the expression on the faces of the high-ranking apostles.
Like Rand and the others, he knew that this fire would definitely arouse the anger of the mushrooms and attack the Drow Elves. Although the Illusory Spore Cloud would help him eliminate many enemies, the most important Priests, Priest Zhuo Er and Qin Lun, would definitely not die. He did not have any joyful thoughts.
Weiss vaguely guessed that this fire might have something to do with Rand. He had seen Rand’s Flame Dragon skill when he was in the Maze Fortress and knew that he was stronger than most fire mages in terms of fire control.
He was currently considering whether he should go back and take a look. This fire would inevitably lead to a battle between Qin Lun’s team and the two Priest Zhuo Er. As his surroundings became safer, Weiss had already figured out many details that he hadn’t thought of before.
For example, after the dwarf exploration mission, the two apostle teams were no longer a joint team. Kieran and the others could easily switch to the Zhuo Er camp and become the competing teams for the [Obalaner’s Dawn] mission.
For example, they could have hid in the dark for a few days and returned to the starry sky after their stay. There was no need for them to follow the dwarves.
However, after thinking about it, Wei Si felt even more pain in his heart. He believed that the deaths of several of his companions were entirely his responsibility, and even his hatred towards Qin Lun’s guild had lessened considerably. The two of them weren’t close companions, so it wasn’t surprising that Qin Lun had decided on them in the end.
When the Wei Si team originally sought to cooperate with Qin Lun’s team, they also had some cautious thoughts. In this regard, after the joint team was disbanded, even if Qin Lun’s actions weren’t a serious betrayal, they shouldn’t let down their guard in the end.
His large guild, Blood Castle, probably wouldn’t start a large-scale group battle with Devil’s horn’s Lost Guild for this. He could only think of a way to avenge this incident.
As for why Qin Lun and the others had to attack the Zhuo Er Elves in the end, from Wei Si’s point of view, he had also thought of an explanation. That was when Qin Lun and the others didn’t like to enter Toril World again, they would really change their camp to the dark region.
This was very easy to determine. Toril’s mission plot in the surface world was definitely countless times greater than in the dark regions.
Moreover, their current mission to explore Dwarves was the prerequisite for the Michigan Hall epic plot. If Qin Lun and the others still had the chance to enter Toril World, they would not give up this epic plot easily.
The fact that he had killed so many Dwarves halfway through the journey was irrelevant.
Because the main characters, Gilliam, Lorraine, and Elizabeth, are all fine.
The murderers of the exploration team and the Ox-Head Monster were all Zhuo Er Elves, and there were no witnesses to Qin Lun’s betrayal. If Qin Lun and the others killed two more Zhuo Er Priests now, Dwarves might be even more grateful to them, and even the alliance between King Dwarves and the Moon Fairy would be confirmed.
The more Wei Si thought about it, the more assured he was that his regret was like a poisonous snake devouring his soul. He believed that if he had seen the connection earlier, even if he couldn’t participate in Qin Lun’s plan, he would at least have avoided the end of the extermination.
After standing there for a moment, Wei Si’s eyes revealed an incomparable hatred. He took a deep look at the burning mushroom forest and turned to hide in the darkness. Even though he might be able to deal with Priest Zhuo Er and Qin Lun when he went back to battle, he still decided to leave first.
On the one hand, after thinking nonsense, he began to feel fear towards Qin Lun, thinking that the other party might even have prepared a backup plan for him.
On the other hand, his personality was more stable. Although the deaths of his companions made him willing to risk everything to avenge them, he was now alone. If he really died here, then no one could avenge them.
Not mentioning Wei Si who had left for now, another battle had begun in the mushroom forest. On one side was Zhuo Er, who led the Lizardman Cavalry, while on the other side were mushrooms of all sizes.
Amongst these mushrooms, they were over a hundred meters tall. There weren’t many Giant Mushrooms that Jillim had seen before. There were only two or three of them. Most of them were young mushrooms that were only ten to twenty meters tall.
The mushrooms weren’t rich in attack methods. Either they used the physical attacks of their enormous bodies, or they would occasionally spit out corrosive body fluids from their mouths and noses.
However, under the cover of the hallucinogenic spore cloud, Zhuo Er Elves’s side was still defeated. All the Lizardman Cavalry and Zhuo Er Warriors were quickly annihilated. The Crypt Demon Scorpion was beaten to death by the two Giant Mushrooms. Only two Priest Zhuo Er were still frantically fleeing outside the Mushroom Forest with divine protection.
As long as they escaped from the mushroom forest, Wendini and Kirkner had a hundred ways to kill these mushrooms on the plains without the spore clouds. Of course, the biggest possibility is that the mushrooms will not chase out of the range of the mushroom forest.
However, the strangest thing was that whenever Wendini and Kirkner escaped to the periphery of the mushroom forest, an explosion would occur at the right time. The giant wall of flames would seal off all their directions, forcing them to change directions.
These explosions also caused the Mushroom Cultivators to go completely crazy, completely treating them as the main culprits for destroying the Mushroom Forest, chasing after them relentlessly. If this continued, the two Priest Zhuo Er would probably not last long and would only die of exhaustion.
At the same time, at a distance from the battlefield in the Mushroom Forest, there was a vigorous figure chasing after the battlefield from afar. He was neither too close nor too far away, only hiding in the shadows to observe the progress of the battle.
“Your curiosity is always so strong, and you have indeed returned!”
Just as the figure was passing by, a chuckle came from a giant mushroom, causing him to stop vigilantly.
“Hill?” Silver-haired elf smiled and turned to the shepherd who jumped off the mushroom. “Is Rand not with you?”
“He’s very busy. He’s still teasing those two Priest Zhuo Er!” Hill looked up and down at Qin Lun, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, and probed, “Do you still remember us?”
“Of course, don’t forget that Qin Lun and Joey are part of me!” Silver-haired elf lightly smiled and knocked on his temple. “You and Rand made such a big commotion, didn’t you just want to lure me over? Now I’m coming over …”
