The Death List Novel - Chapter 730
Chapter 730 Pursue
However, just as the three monsters were rushing over, the twitching Fjord Sea Monster woke up as if it was returning to its senses. It forcefully propped up its upper body and let out a low roar in the direction of the clansmen with bloody faces everywhere.
The Fjord Sea Monster’s roar was filled with indescribable emotions. Even though Qin Lun and the others could not understand their language, they still understood the meaning behind it.
It was warning its own clansmen not to approach this place again, just like an old man warning his children and grandchildren before he died. After letting out this roar, it was no longer able to support its body. It lay down on the ground again and did not move, leaving only its four limbs twitching occasionally.
Hearing this roar, the three monsters immediately stopped moving. The crocodile’s face had an extremely human expression of hesitation.
In the end, the remaining monsters let out a low roar and left without looking back. Seeing their parents’ actions, the other two little monsters immediately lowered their heads and turned around to leave. However, they still couldn’t help but turn their heads back step by step.
Qin Lun and Donald exchanged glances. At the same time, they heaved a sigh of relief and put down the gun in their hands.
Almost half of the characters in the two small teams, including the missing ones, had died by this time. Although these people didn’t have the ability to fight, they were often burdens, but the development of the follow-up plot couldn’t be separated from their impetus. It was good to have one more survivor.
“Catch!” Qin Lun turned around and threw the Colt python back to John. In times of crisis, the big guy needed this thing more than him. If he encountered a monster whose bow and arrow could not pierce through, he could at most “borrow” it.
“Hey!” John caught the gun and laughed foolishly. He wiped it with his sleeve and inserted it into his belt. He had originally thought that Qin Lun would never return the gun. After all, the youth had just displayed an extremely exquisite spear technique, and the Colt Python was even more useful in his hands.
Qin Lun returned the gun, but Fatty Donald pretended not to see Alan’s eager gaze. He did not have the pulley bow and hunting knife in Qin Lun’s hand, and just happened to lack a defensive weapon.
Originally, he was hiding in the team and pretending to be a fat pig. Without weapons, there would be no weapons. In any case, no one would expect him to do anything. But now that Qin Lun had exposed him naked and could no longer pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, he naturally had to get a weapon.
Seeing Fatty’s appearance, Alan and Natasha smiled bitterly and exchanged glances. They simply gave the rest of the shotguns to Fatty. The fatty smiled and threw the hunting knife that he had originally given him to Alan.
“Well … look!” The black girl Dana suddenly pointed forward and lowered her voice, “Are those monsters still carrying hostages on their backs?”
Everyone was stunned as they looked up. Qin Lun, who had the best eyesight, instantly saw what the monsters were carrying. They were indeed two humans, and judging from the swing of their limbs, they seemed to be alive.
After the largest Fjord sea monster died, the remaining sea monsters chose to flee. At this time, the little monster that Qin Lun had shot blind in the right eye had calmed down and escaped with the other three companions.
“It’s Steinson, and the other is a black girl!” Qin Lun’s gaze flickered for a moment before he turned around and asked, “What is your companion called Fanny dressed like?”
Although he had glanced at Fanny at the airport in a hurry, he naturally couldn’t recognize the black girl lying on the shoulder of the Fjords sea monster, dressed differently than at the airport.
“Fanny’s hair is braided, wearing a grey T-shirt and a pair of denim shorts …” Alan, John, and the others rushed to say, and each of them gave a rough introduction in just a single sentence. “Fanny’s hair is braided, and she’s wearing a grey T-shirt and a pair of denim shorts.”
“That’s right, it’s her. She should still be alive.” Qin Lun frowned and nodded. “Looks like these monsters attacked more than one camp last night and brought at least four victims. The two female corpses may have died on the way, or the monsters used too much energy to eat …”
“Chris, save them, please!” Natasha looked at Qin Lun with tears in her eyes.
Before Qin Lun could finish his sentence, Donald rushed out with an agility that was completely out of proportion to his body. His running had a chain reaction, and John and Allen subconsciously chased after him.
Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and looked at Fatty’s back, his expression uncertain.
Although the Fjord Sea Monster could not withstand a single blow from the cooperation between the two of them just now, it wasn’t even able to get close enough to the two of them to be killed. But Qin Lun didn’t believe that Fatty wouldn’t be able to see the moisture and luck in it.
Compared to their clumsy performance, the Fjords weren’t as weak as they looked.
If it weren’t for the slaughter of ordinary people last night, the Fjords would have underestimated Qin Lun and the others and treated them as harmless two-legged sheep. Actually, with the intelligence of these Fjords, they should be more cautious about hunting.
The woods were filled with obstacles. If the Fjord Sea Monster used the trees to get close to Qin Lun and the others, then Qin Lun’s refractive spear technique would be even harder to aim at. If all the monsters had attacked together in the beginning, then Qin Lun and Fatty would have to leave the storyline characters and flee.
Moreover, this was still a battle on land, and now the Fjords were fleeing in the direction of the lake in front of them. When they reach the water’s edge, they may behave even more ferociously.
Qin Lun could confirm that Donald wasn’t a storyline character, but he wasn’t sure if Fatty belonged to the Samsara or to Apostle.
According to his original judgement, Donald should have belonged to Apostle just like him since he was on the plane. After boarding the plane, they would be targeted by Reaper and become part of the Reaper game. There was no need for the superstring space to put Samsara at risk, and the fact that some Samsara had turned into federal agents proved this.
But if it was Apostle, judging from the starry sky prompt Qin Lun received, their goal in this world was to kill a few reincarnations, and the life and death of the characters in Allen’s plot had nothing to do with them.
But now, even though Fatty knew that chasing the Fjords would be a huge risk, he still chased after them. He was obviously very concerned about Fanny and Steinson’s life and death.
“Am I wrong? Donald is a Samsara?” Qin Lun rubbed his chin, bent down and trotted behind everyone.
The superstring space didn’t want Samsara to take unnecessary risks, which didn’t mean that Samsara couldn’t do so.
If he wanted to obtain significant benefits, then entering the plane to participate in the plot ahead of time and building relationships with Allen and the others was undoubtedly a better way. As long as he had the guts, Donald could be an elite Samsara.
This question flashed through Qin Lun’s mind and was thrown behind him. Whether Fatty was a Apostle or a Samsara, it didn’t affect him at all. Anyway, as long as he didn’t reveal his identity, it would be good.
He did not consider whether Donald was a member of Hill’s group. Although he was no longer Qin Lun, his memories did not change. If any of Hill’s men were to disguise themselves as Donald, they would definitely not be able to hide anything from him.
The team led by Donald chased after the sea monsters on the gravel beach in a straight line. Their pursuit was quickly noticed by the sea monsters. The only remaining monster among the four sea monsters would occasionally turn around to look at them. The venom in their eyes could still be clearly discerned even though they were so far away.
Allen and the others ran for a while, and regret appeared in their hearts. After all, they were just ordinary college students. To be able to catch up to a few monsters for their companions, they already had a lot of courage.
However, they did not stop and secretly peeked at Qin Lun and Donald. After the battle just now, Alan, John, Natasha, and Dana could already vaguely feel the difference between Qin Lun and Fatty.
Qin Lun told them that he was just an ordinary modeling agent, while Fatty was an auto parts dealer who came out to travel.
But even if Allen and the others were just unworldly college students, they knew that model brokers and auto parts dealers could not be so calm when they were in danger, comparable to soldiers in the army who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Of course, they didn’t know anything about Samsara or Apostle. They only thought that Qin Lun and Donald were state agents, or that they had come to investigate mysterious powers.
Since Donald chose to chase after the Fjords, the other Chris didn’t express any objection, giving them a backbone to rely on, so their hearts weren’t that scared.
Qin Lun unhurriedly followed behind the group, occasionally helping out the two girls with weaker stamina. Fortunately, Dana and Natasha usually liked sports. At this juncture, they didn’t hold back too much. Otherwise, the team would have been divided into two parts.
“Mm, those monsters actually didn’t choose to go into the water?” Qin Lun observed from behind for a while before frowning.
The four monsters, led by the largest one, only ran along the bank of the lake and did not enter the water.
However, Qin Lun did not doubt for long. He soon saw a cave on the right side of the lake, right next to the bank.
The cave was facing the surface of the lake, and the lower end was submerged by the lake water. The part of the cave that was exposed to the water was about three meters tall. The cave was dark, and the stone wall at the entrance was covered with green moss, dripping with mountains and rivers. It should belong to the beginning of an underground river.
After the four monsters saw this cave, their running speed became faster and faster. This should be their destination.
“Bang!” Donald, who was at the front of the line, opened fire. The lead pellets from the shotgun hit the back of a small monster that was running at the back, causing it to scream in pain. However, with a furious shout from the leading monster, the short-tempered monster actually endured a mouthful of anger and did not turn around to attack Donald, causing his provocation to come to an end.
Donald hesitated when he saw that he could not stop the four monsters in front of the cave, but he quickly made a choice and continued to chase after them.
“How do you choose?” Qin Lun was not surprised by Fatty’s choice. If he had a mission, he would have chased after him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his gaze inadvertently swept across Allen and the others.
