Chapter 40: Delivered to the door

"Quack!"

On his bony face, his mouth opened slightly, making a sharp, piercing sound, and thick, disgusting saliva splashed everywhere. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Qin Ran frowned, he was about to take two steps back, avoiding the disgusting saliva.

But a few dry palms burst through the ground and grabbed his feet firmly.

Not only did they hold him in place, but they also pulled him down.

What's even more surprising is that at some point, the hard gravel floor turned into a quagmire.

The blood-red mire devoured the corpses around it like a swamp.

In a few breaths, dozens of corpses were devoured.

Similarly, Qin Ran's body, the part below the calf, was also dragged into the quagmire.

But the change hasn't stopped.

Bubbles with a foul smell kept rolling in the mud, and every time a bubble 'popped', a corpse was spit out by the devoured corpse.

The corpse, completely soaked in a liquid as red as blood, came back to life again.

They roared like wild beasts.

Then, he rushed towards Qin Ran like crazy.

In a moment, dozens of corpses submerged Qin Ran in a pyramid-like manner, and the blood-colored quagmire spun rapidly, like a big mouth, engulfing dozens of corpses, along with Qin Ran.

When everything was engulfed, the blood began to fade, and the stone floor returned to its original state once again, including the corpses.

A blood-colored pearl the size of a thumb's head emerged from the gathered blood, bringing up a streamer of light, flying into the shadows on the side, and landing in the palm of an elder's hand.

"Megalomaniacal guy, I'm not going to kill you!"

"I'm going to make your life worse than death!"

In the old man's voice, the other party turned around and was about to leave.

But as soon as he turned around, the old man in the priest's robe froze in place.

In front of him, Qin Ran's face was indifferently bathed in the moonlight, his cloak dancing with the night wind, and the crow feathers on it reflected a metallic light.

"You?!"

The older priest subconsciously looked at the blood-colored pearl in his hand.

And this is the last thing the other party did before he died.

The [arrogant words] that flashed with a strange light slashed the opponent in half.

The blood-colored pearl, flying high with an orange glow, was taken in Qin Ran's hand.

[Name: Naraku's Temptation]

[Type: Sundries]

[Quality: Rare]

[Attribute: Death Captivity: 1/2]

[Need: Spirit A+]

[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]

[Note: This is a high-level item made by the Temple of Sins]

……

[Death Captivity: Sacrifice at least 10 complete and tenacious souls to create an illusion that slightly affects reality (the more souls will make the trap stronger), the selected target needs to have at least S-level spirit judgment (up to SSS+), judgment success will not be affected, judgment failure, soul will be imprisoned in it, and the body will die quickly. 】

……

"A prop full of the characteristics of the Temple of Sins."

"You say, right?"

Qin Ran's index finger and thumb pinched the blood-colored pearl and let out a soft sigh.

There was a wriggling in the shadows not far away, and a figure slowly stood up and walked out of the shadows.

This is a middle-aged man dressed in leather armor, carrying a long bow, a short knife hanging from his waist, brown hair, and an extremely dense beard, with only his nose and eyes exposed.

Beside the other is followed by a hound.

This hound is black all over, quite large, and when it lands on all fours, the nape of its neck is also the size of an adult male. The upper legs, the broad forehead of the head, the protruding mouth and the sharp white teeth show an extraordinary bite and spirituality.

However, based on these alone, the other party is also an excellent hunting dog, which will not attract Qin Ran's attention.

What really made Qin Ran care was the shadow under the feet of this hound, as if it was smoke, constantly gathering and dispersing.

Moreover, when the other party was hiding in the shadows just now, he also used the ability of this hound.

"Magical creatures?"

"Or is it an alchemical creature transformed by divine magic?"

Qin Ran guessed.

As for the identity of the other party?

It's really too obvious.

In Navia City, the hunter's dress has a certain strength, and there is an extraordinary hound, which can only be the hunter's temple.

The Hunter, a deity worshipped by countless hunters.

But this doesn't mean that Qin Ran will accept the other party's sudden appearance here and hiding aside.

"Lord Lane, I have no ill will!"

"I am Horace of the Temple of the Hunters, and I have come with good intentions!"

Horace keenly felt the change in Qin Ran's breath and said again and again.

And the hound beside Horace first bared his teeth at Qin Ran, and then, when he came into contact with Qin Ran's gaze, he hid behind his master with his tail between his legs.

Obviously, the dog was frightened by Qin Ran's eyes.

In fact, it's not just the hounds, but the owners of the hounds.

After witnessing the corpses of the Knights of Sin, and Qin Ran, who was unharmed in the face of the traps set by the Temple of Sin, Horace knew very well what kind of attitude he should have.

For this reason, Horace couldn't help but curse his disciple Pud.

If it weren't for this bastard guy, how could he be in such a predicament of being forced to ask in front of him.

"Coming with kindness?"

"Yours?"

"Or the Temple of the Hunter?"

Qin Ran glanced at the other party playfully, and then asked for a long time.

Subconsciously, Horace was about to say that it was himself, but after coming into contact with Qin Ran's gaze, when it came to his mouth, he immediately changed his words.

"I'm here with the Hunter Temple."

"The 'Buddy Festival' is about to begin, and we hope that Lord Lane will join us in this celebration of hunters."

Horace's face was serious, and he didn't look like he had changed his words halfway.

"Hmm."

"I will be attending on behalf of the Temple of Thorns."

Qin Ran nodded and said.

Then, looking somewhere without a trace, I was slightly surprised in my heart.

In his perception, a breath was rapidly approaching.

And after killing the priest before, Qin Ran originally thought that the other party would not appear.

Abnormal performance!

Immediately, Qin Ran raised his vigilance.

The breath was getting closer and closer, and such an aura should not have been hidden from Horace and the other party's pet companion, but under Qin Ran's words, Horace was completely disturbed by his thoughts.

The other party's pet companion had not yet come back to his senses under Qin Ran's gaze before.

So, Horace was doomed to bad luck.

However, at this time, Horace still thought and hesitated.

Inviting Qin Ran personally, and Qin Ran, who is represented by the Temple of Thorns, are two concepts for the Hunter Temple.

The former still has room to turn around.

But the latter completely stood on the opposite side of the Temple of Wealth and the Temple of Thorns.

This is not a good thing for the Hunter Temple, which has always remained neutral.

However, when he came into contact with Qin Ran's seemingly indifferent gaze again, which made him feel pressured, Horace immediately nodded.

"No problem!"

"There must be no problems!"

"I just hope you'll forgive Pudd for being disrespectful to you—he admires you, and it's only because of Balcord that he doesn't choose what to say."

Horace gritted his teeth and began to shirk for his disciples.

At this point, Horace didn't care so much about it.

There may be trouble, but that can only be remedied after the fact.

Now, what is needed is to clear up the troubles that may arise for your own disciples.

But just as the words fell, there was an angry roar in the distance.

"Horace!"

Suddenly, Horace's face became extremely difficult to look at, he did not expect this person to really appear, and when he saw the trap set by [Naraku's Temptation], he thought that the matter would come to an end.

Who would have thought......

"Boo, High Priest of Bourville!"

Horace said the other man's name in a voice that almost groaned.
