The Death List Novel - Chapter 726
Chapter 726 They
Hill and the others ignored the divine maiden and found a camp nearby to rest. They were really exhausted yesterday. They didn’t even have time to eat and replenish their energy after the continuous battles and unfortunate events.
The costumes and swords on the five of them weren’t costumes, they were Samsara equipment. Apostle’s personal storage space cannot be opened in this world, and so can the guild warehouse. Even if it could be opened, it was unknown if there was a conflict of laws in this world where Apostle’s equipment was completely controlled by the superstring space.
But don’t forget, Qin Mei was originally a member of the Samsara, and her subordinates also had a team. Even though she had already transformed into a Apostle, she still had quite a bit of Samsara equipment.
She had always carried a separate storage ring with her. Although she couldn’t use it in the Broken Star System, she could still slightly arm Hill and the others with these equipment when she arrived in this world. Even if these things weren’t really suitable for Hill and the others, it was better than nothing.
They had a short rest in the camp, but Qin Lun and Allen ran into a little trouble.
A few hours ago, the group of youths carefully scoured through the scrubs along the traces left behind by the Fjords. It could be seen that the monster’s size was very large, and it could be seen everywhere that it was crushed into bushes, creating an obvious “grass path” in the forest.
As the search unfolded, everyone slowly formed the image of a monster in their minds. This monster with incredible power was at least 3.5 meters tall, because there were broken branches at this height along the way.
Its nest is closer to the water, or amphibians, because the crushed shrubs along the way are wet with water. It weighed a lot and left obvious footprints on some mud.
However, these four-toed footprints made everyone even more fearful of this unknown monster.
After following them for more than two hours, everyone slowly discovered that something was amiss. The monster that everyone thought to be amphibious actually didn’t take a detour to the fjords, instead directly heading towards the depths of Arcadia National Park.
“Could it be that we have misjudged that it is not an amphibious monster. Instead, it deliberately ambushed in the fjords and waited for the night before coming out to attack?” Alan asked Qin Lun unconfidently.
This was because Qin Lun could make correct judgments from time to time. These young men who were not in deep life had unknowingly treated Qin Lun as the backbone of the team. Donald, who was also older than them, remained silent and kept a low profile after the original proposal.
“Is there a bigger lake on the island?” Qin Lun asked after some thought.
“Yes, according to the location of the GPS, there is a relatively large glacial lake right in front of us.” Natasha looked at the GPS map on her phone, flipped through the tourist map in her hand, and replied.
“Chris, are you saying that the lakes here are connected to the fjords? The lakes here are all freshwater lakes.” Alan said in disbelief.
Even so, he was already convinced that the lake water in the freshwater lake was melted snow water from glaciers, but this did not mean that there was no fjords connected to the bottom of the lake.
“If the lake in front connects to the fjords, then we have to hurry. If the monster takes the hostages into the lake, they will definitely not survive,” he said anxiously.
“Ellen, don’t worry. It’s useless for us to catch up. I have a hunch that the gun in our hands is useless against that monster.” Donald, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said with a bitter face.
“At the very least, the gunshots will attract Arcadia’s rangers. Perhaps if you scare that monster, the hostages will be saved.” Qin Lun’s eyes flashed with ridicule as he spoke confidently.
Sure enough, after hearing Qin Lun’s words, Allen and the others’ eyes lit up. No matter what kind of ferocious monster it was, it would be terrifying to hear gunshots for the first time. It would be great to be able to save a few of their companions who had been kidnapped like this.
After all, they were just a group of college students, lacking the courage to face unknown monsters. After a few hours, he calmed down and started to feel scared.
Just as everyone was discussing, a strange noise came from the bushes beside them. John and Allen were immediately shocked and turned their guns towards the other side.
“Don’t shoot, it’s us, it’s us!” A panicked voice came from the bushes. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. It was a human voice.
“It’s great to see you!” A man in tattered clothes ran out from behind the bushes and sat on the ground with tears in his eyes.
“Dana?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and blurted out.
The person who ran out from behind the bushes was the missing black girl, Dana, Luke’s girlfriend. She disappeared last night. She didn’t expect to appear here.
“Where are Susan and Steinson?” Qin Lun pulled the girl up and asked expressionlessly.
Wilson and Luke were already dead. Before they died, they said that Karin had been kidnapped by the monster, while the other three people were nowhere to be found. Although that monster was extremely powerful, it was impossible for it to carry several hostages with it. Naturally, they would not all be captured.
“Susan was captured by the monster, Steinson … he’s injured!” Dana’s face was dazzled and he said with a whimper.
“Is he seriously injured?” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and pretended to be confused.
“I didn’t see it clearly. He cut a monster with the axe that chopped wood, and then he was beaten and vomited blood by the others!” ‘”After Susan was captured by the monster last night, he escaped with me. But he followed after me to save her. He told me to hide in the bushes and not make a sound …” Dana cried sadly.
“Oh?” Qin Lun was slightly surprised. That glasses guy actually had this kind of courage. It seemed that he really liked that girl called Susan. He just didn’t know if he could give him a chance to become a pair of lovebirds with the same fate.
“He even cut a monster?” Qin Lun’s expression changed a few times. He remembered the tragic state of Wilson and Luke’s corpses in the camp. He had the urge to vomit blood. That kind of thing couldn’t have been injured by Steinson, could it?
However, he quickly noticed Dana’s words and his pupils constricted. “Dana, you said that there were other monsters. Could it be that there was more than one thing attacking you?”
“En, there are five of them, two big and three small. The one Steinson cuts is only the smallest, about half a person tall!” Dana raised his arm, gestured at his waist, and said weakly.
She also knew that if she didn’t explain it clearly, it would be hard for others to believe that Steinson could injure the monster. When the glasses man faced the five monsters, the sudden burst of courage made her feel incredulous. She only felt that she did not recognize this nerd’s companion anymore.
Qin Lun’s face turned pale and green. He had already noticed that those footprints were a little strange after following him all the way. The frequency of his footsteps was too high, but at that time, he had a preconceived impression that the monster was carrying a hostage, so he walked too slowly. He didn’t expect it to be two big ones, one in front and one behind.
As for those little monsters, they might not be heavy enough to leave any obvious footprints, so they were ignored by him. After all, this was a tourist area. There were too many footprints left behind by humans, so it was difficult to distinguish them clearly.
“Dana, your name is Dana, isn’t it?” Ellen patiently waited for Qin Lun to finish his question and hurriedly interrupted, “Apart from your companions, did you see anything else …”
Alan and John described Carmen and Fanny’s appearances in a tongue-tied manner. Although they were a little messy, Dana understood them.
However, after hearing this, the black girl’s expression was a little strange. She stammered, “I might have seen the man you mentioned, but not the girl named Fanny.”
“Carmen? Where is he? He couldn’t have been kidnapped by those monsters!” Allen and the others asked excitedly.
“He … is in the little pine forest ahead, but you must be mentally prepared!” Dana said cautiously.
“Carmen!” Allen and the others’ expressions changed. Even a fool could understand what Dana meant. Clearly, Carmen was doomed.
Without hesitation, Allen and the others immediately headed in the direction Dana had mentioned.
Qin Lun glanced at Dana, took off his coat and put it on her. He smiled and said, “You should still be able to walk. Follow this road and head west. You’ll see the rangers near the camp soon. We’re going to save Susan and Steinson, so we won’t accompany you.”
“Are you still looking for those monsters?” Dana tightly grabbed Qin Lun’s arm and said with a pale face, “Give up. That kind of thing isn’t something humans can deal with. If you go, you’ll just die. Can’t you wait for the town rangers and police officers to deal with it?”
“Then it’s too late. Besides, Arcadia is so big. By the time the rangers and police officers arrive, those monsters will have long since disappeared.” Qin Lun patted the girl’s hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry, we brought the guns. Perhaps after hearing the gunshots, those monsters were scared away and could lure the ranger over early.”
“Then … I’ll go with you!” The black girl slowly calmed down and revealed a determined expression, “I want to avenge Luke. He could have escaped, but because he wanted to cover for me, he was forced by those monsters …”
Dana started to sob, but she quickly controlled herself, put on Qin Lun’s coat, and followed behind the team.
Qin Lun’s eyes flashed with an inexplicable hint. Including Steinson, he was very surprised by the performance of these young people. At the same time, he also had a completely different feeling from his previous adventures.
A trace of excitement suddenly arose in his heart. There was a kind of expectation that he wanted to see the bottom of the plot.
“Carmen!” Not far away, John roared angrily in front of them.
A smile appeared on Qin Lun’s face. It seemed that Allen and the others had already found one of their companions.
