Qin Ran squatted in front of the shattered ashes of the illusory shadow, carefully examined it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he got up again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The expert-level [Mysterious Knowledge] made it impossible for Qin Ran to get in touch with more esoteric knowledge about the soul, but just the trace that was revealed was enough to make Qin Ran understand that no matter how cautious and cautious he was in the face of an opponent who manipulated the soul, especially when there was obviously a curse in this world, it was even more so.

Qin Ran, who turned around, did not walk in front of Perikna and the old man for the first time, but cleaned up the battlefield.

The four low-magic items need no more to say.

One mechanical item and two skill books are worth caring about.

[Name: Snake Crossbow of Speed]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attributes: 1, continuous shot; 2, Volley]

[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]

[Notes: This is a skillful hand crossbow that can be loaded with five arrows at once, and is a favorite of the Assassins!] 】

……

[Burst Shot: A crossbow chamber composed of machine springs, allowing you to continuously fire without reloading the arrow]

[Volley: You can choose to shoot all arrows at once]

……

Qin Ran held this [Snake of Speed] in his hand, which was only the size of a crossbow, but had a crossbow the size of a fist.

It's not a magic item, it's a purely mechanical hand crossbow.

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

Qin Ran opened the mechanical crossbow warehouse and looked at the arrows that were sharp and mixed with a faint sweet taste, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Qin Ran would not think that the smearing of poison on the crossbow arrow was something that violated the principle.

In Qin Ran's cognition, once he really makes a move, then he is the enemy.

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

The two skill books glow green.

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

As the name suggests, a skill book.

After transferring everything to the [Red Ghost's Stomach Bag], Qin Ran looked at Perikna.

Of course, in the eyes of Perikna and the old man, Qin Ran cleaned and inspected the entire battlefield very seriously.

The old man frowned slightly.

Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with Qin Ran's approach.

Although Qin Ran saved him and killed those traitors, those traitors were still from the Snake Sect, and everyone had the secrets of the Snake Sect.

But Perikna did not speak.

The old man was also silent out of respect for Perikna.

"How?"

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

The appearance of the secret technique of the steppe people in the betrayer of the snake faction was enough to arouse the concern of the leader of the snake faction.

The previous fall of the Snake Sect, wasn't it Hawley who colluded with outsiders to sit down?

Lessons learned, Perikna doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Nope!"

Qin Ran shook his head.

It's not that it's hidden, but that's what it is, and he didn't find the slightest clue of value.

As for extinguishing the illusory figure in advance, and letting the clue be broken?

Qin Ran would never think so.

A subordinate, or even someone closer to him, was killed, and the other party appeared in the form of a phantom, just to intimidate him?

Don't be funny.

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

Before he could truly grasp the purpose of the other party, facing a strong man who was good at soul secret arts, if he didn't start in advance, it wouldn't be Qin Ran.

"Really?"

Perikna looked at Qin Ran with a little suspicion.

The basis of cooperation between the two sides is itself a form of coercion.

With such a foundation, it is absolutely impossible to have complete trust.

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

"Don't forget our pact and your previous promise...... If something like this happens, I can give you a day or two of grace, and I hope you can deal with your troubles as soon as possible, and show up in the Thunder Fortress with the reward given to me. ”

"Of course, I don't mind helping you if you're in trouble - of course it's paid!"

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

Naturally, he didn't come here to rescue, but to get some extra gain.

Now that the goal has been achieved and expectations have been exceeded, it is natural that it will not stay any longer.

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

Qin Ran traveled all the way, and soon came to the outside of the Thunder Fortress.

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

However, Qin Ran frowned soon.

Although his pace was slowing, it did not mean that he was stagnant, and with the distance between him and the Thunder Fortress, he should have walked to the camp a long time ago.

But now, it was as if he was ...... Standing still?!

Look at the camp with torches burning in the distance, and then look around in the darkness.

Qin Ran took a cautious step.

The footprints on the ground were revealed, and his whole body was also a step forward, but the distance did not shorten.

Hess's labyrinth?

Qin Ran was stunned.

But then the difference was noticed.

In that book, called "Hess's Labyrinth", it is mainly relied on the gaze to confuse oneself, thus creating a deceptive effect.

But at the moment, absolutely not.

There was no anomaly in his field of vision.

Hearing is also normal, and can easily hear the grinding of armor in the camp in the distance.

"It's not perceptual confusion!"

"That's ......"

"Illusion? Or is it a fantasy? ”

Qin Ran guessed in his heart.

He knew very well that although he had killed the phantom without hesitation just now, he was still inexplicably on the way.

"Soul Secret Technique, silently...... It's horrible! ”

Qin Ran looked at the system prompt that did not appear, and then, looking around, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he was careful enough.

However, the asymmetry of knowledge is still flawed.

However, Qin Ran didn't have any anxiety.

Because, he knows, the other party can't do nothing if he is trapped here.

Even if he didn't know much, but with expert-level [mysterious knowledge], it was definitely not a price that the other party paid to do it to such a level silently.

If you do nothing just to trap him, it's too much of a luxury.

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

In the rain of arrows, the patrolling soldiers fell to the ground one by one, and quickly lost their lives.

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

The steppe cavalry swarmed through, leaving only the ruined land.

Then, the black vulture flew down and devoured the corpse.

Soon the corpse became a blur of flesh, most of the flesh was eaten by the vultures, and the rest began to decay over time.

White maggots are among them.

The stench of corpses rises as the temperature rises.

followed the wind and drilled 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 grasped.

Dry and almost bone-like palms.

Slender and small.

Not an adult.

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

"Why don't you save me?"

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

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

He turned around slowly. (To be continued.) )
