The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 617: Mystery

Views:

Qin Ran squatted in front of the shattered ashes of the phantom shadow, inspected carefully, and got up again after confirming that there was no problem.

Expert

It prevented Qin Ran from getting more profound knowledge about the soul, but the only trace revealed was enough to make Qin Ran understand that no matter how cautious he is when facing an opponent who manipulates the soul, especially when the world obviously has This is even more true when it comes to curses.

Turning around, Kieran didn't walk up to Perikna and the old man immediately, but cleaned the battlefield instead.

There is no need to say more about the four low-level monsters.

One mechanical object and two skill books are worth paying attention to.

In his hand, Qin Ran held this one, which was only about the size of a crossbow, but had the size of a fist-sized pistol.

It's not a magic item, but a pistol made purely by machinery.

However, even so, this ** bow is almost equal to a high-level magic item.

Qin Ran opened the mechanical gun compartment and looked at the arrows that were sharp and sweet, and nodded in satisfaction.

Kieran would not think that smearing poison on the arrow was a violation of principle.

In Kieran's perception, once he made a real move, he would be the enemy.

In the face of the enemy, unscrupulous means are nothing.

The two skill books were emitting green light.

One is called "Serpentine Sword" and the other is "Serpentine Dart".

A skill book as the name suggests.

transferred everything into

Finally, Qin Ran looked at Perikna.

Of course, in the eyes of Perikna and the old man, Kieran cleaned and inspected the entire battlefield very carefully.

The old man frowned slightly.

Obviously, some dissatisfied with Qin Ran's actions.

Even though it was Qin Ran who saved him and killed those traitors, those traitors were still from the Snake Sect, and each of them had the secret of the Snake Sect.

But Perikna didn't speak.

Out of respect for Perikna, the old man also remained silent.

"How about it?"

Facing Qin Ran's gaze, Perikna didn't pay attention to Qin Ran's harvest at all, and she paid more attention to Qin Ran's discovery.

The appearance of the prairie man's secret technique on the betrayer of the Snake Sect was enough to arouse the attention of the leader of the Snake Sect.

Wasn't the downfall of the Snake Sect before that Holly colluded with outsiders to sit down

Having learned from the past, Perikna does not want to repeat the same mistakes.

"No!"

Qin Ran shook his head.

It's not a concealment, but the fact is that he didn't find any valuable clues.

As for destroying the illusory figure ahead of time, and letting the clues be broken

Qin Ran never thought of it that way.

Subordinates, even people close to him were killed, and the other party appeared in the form of a phantom, just to intimidate him

Give me a break.

Unless the other party is really an idiot, there is absolutely no other way to do this.

Before he could truly grasp the opponent's purpose, facing a strong man who was good at the secret art of the soul, if he didn't make a move in advance, he wouldn't be Kieran.

"Yeah?"

Perikna looked at Qin Ran suspiciously.

The basis of cooperation between the two parties is itself a form of persecution.

On such a basis, it is absolutely impossible to have complete trust.

Qin Ran didn't pay much attention to the other party.

"Don't forget our contract and your previous agreement... If something like this happens, I can give you a day or two of grace. I hope you can deal with your troubles as soon as possible, and show up in Thunder Fortress with my reward."

"Of course, if there is trouble, I don't mind helping you, of course it will be paid!"

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he turned and left the temporary stronghold.

Naturally, he came here not for rescue, but for some extra income.

Now that the goal has been achieved, and it has exceeded expectations, naturally it will not stay anymore.

Although the Thunder Fortress has a layout, it is definitely not possible to leave for a long time.

Qin Ran hurried all the way, and soon arrived outside the Thunder Fortress.

Facing the Thunder Fortress that was close at hand, Kieran's steps gradually slowed down.

However, Qin Ran soon frowned.

Although his pace was slowing down, it didn't mean he was stagnant. Given the distance between him and Thunder Fortress, he should have reached the camp long ago.

But now, he seems to be... standing still? !

Looking at the camp with burning torches in the distance, and then at the dark surroundings.

Qin Ran took steps cautiously.

The footprints on the ground appeared, and he took a step forward, but the distance did not shorten.

Hess's maze

Qin Ran was taken aback.

But immediately there was a difference.

In the book called "Hess's Labyrinth", it mainly relies on the sight to confuse itself, thus producing the effect of confusion.

But right now, absolutely not.

His vision is normal.

Hearing is also normal, and he can easily hear the friction of armor in the distant camp.

"It's not perceptual confusion!"

"That is… "

"Illusion? Or illusion?"

Qin Ran guessed in his heart.

He knew very well that even though he killed the phantom without hesitation just now, he was still inexplicably enlightened.

"Soul secret technique, silently... It's really scary!"

Qin Ran looked at the system prompt that did not appear, and then looked around, sighing inwardly.

Although he was careful enough.

However, there are still mistakes in the unequal knowledge.

However, Qin Ran was not in any hurry.

Because, he knew that it was impossible for the other party to trap him here and do nothing.

Even if he doesn't know much, but with an expert level

It is inferred that the other party has done so silently, and the price they paid is definitely not a little price.

It would be too extravagant to do nothing just to trap him.

Just as Kieran was thinking, the Thunder Fortress in front of him changed.

In the rain of arrows all over the sky, the patrolling soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and quickly died.

Without his help, the Thunder Fortress was directly breached by the prairie people.

The prairie cavalry swarmed past, leaving only the broken land.

Then, black vultures flew down, devouring the carcass.

Soon the carcass became a mangled mass of flesh, most of which was eaten by the vultures, and the rest began to rot over time.

White maggots appeared in it.

The stench of corpses emerged as the temperature rose.

Following the wind, it got into Qin Ran's nose.

The disgusting smell made Qin Ran subconsciously cover his mouth and nose.

But when he raised his hand, his palm was held.

Dry, almost bone-like palms.

Slender and small.

Not an adult.

Qin Ran's movements froze, and a guess suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Why didn't you save me?"

The voice was hoarse, dry, full of resentment and hatred.

But Kieran could still hear that it was Mary's voice.

He turned around slowly. (.)
