Novel Bin Chapter 41 - Qin Li
Within the valley, a violent surge of energy was erupting. A group of five or six adventurers was being swarmed by a massive horde of undead elite monsters. Each undead creature was around Level 25, and there were hundreds of them.
“Help! We’re members of the Dynasty Guild! If you help us, the guild will surely reward you!”
“We can’t hold on much longer! Are you really going to leave us to die!?”
The adventurers were panicked. They were all professionals in their 20s, initially just exploring the outskirts of the Land of Desolation. They never expected to fall into a trap, triggering an onslaught of elite undead monsters.
If it weren’t for the S-Class Holy Light Priest in their team, who had cast a Light Domain reducing the attack power of the undead, they would have been wiped out long ago.
But even with that advantage, their energy was nearly depleted, and they were on the verge of collapse. In their desperation, they noticed another group of human professionals at the edge of the valley—a stunningly beautiful young girl, albeit only Level 15, accompanied by a terrifyingly powerful Level 55 warrior.
If these two were to intervene, they would undoubtedly be saved!
—
“Miss, should we help them?” the beautiful middle-aged woman standing beside the young girl asked respectfully. She was the girl’s personal bodyguard, a Level 55 Psyker.
If the woman made a move, a single skill would be enough to annihilate the entire horde of undead monsters.
“Why should we?” the girl responded coldly, her face expressionless. “They overestimated their abilities and ventured into the Land of Desolation to try their luck. Now they must face the consequences.”
Her gaze lingered on the adventurer team, filled with indifference, devoid of any sympathy.
“Besides, the death aura in this area has already reached a critical point. If they die, it will condense into another Death Shard. With that, I can finally fully activate my Death’s Call.”
This beautiful young girl was none other than Qin Li, the eldest daughter of the Qin family and the younger sister of Qin Xian.
The woman beside her was Aunt Mo, Qin Li’s personal attendant.
Seeing that Qin Li had no intention of intervening, the adventurers’ last glimmer of hope was extinguished. When the Holy Light Priest finally ran out of energy, the Light Domain disappeared, and the hundreds of undead creatures surged forward, overwhelming the adventurers.
As they were devoured, the valley began to tremble. Above, countless streams of death energy gathered, eventually coalescing into a blood-red crystal that emanated a terrifying aura of death.
[Death Shard]: Epic-tier material. Formed from condensed death energy, it contains pure death essence. It is said that the throne of the god Hades was forged from this material.
Qin Li’s face lit up with joy upon seeing the Death Shard. She quickly retrieved it. For most professionals, Death Shards were highly dangerous. The death energy they contained could corrupt even the strongest, turning them into undead.
But for Qin Li, a Death Angel, Death Shards were essential for her growth. The death energy within felt warm and familiar to her.
Eagerly, Qin Li fused the shard into herself.
[Death’s Call]: Divine Skill. Releases a deathly sound wave that marks all enemies within a 1,500-meter radius, dealing 15,000 magic damage and having a 20% chance of triggering instant death. Additionally, all skills have a 5% chance to trigger instant death on marked enemies. Cooldown: 6 hours.
Seeing the skill fully activate, Qin Li couldn’t help but smile. With Death’s Call, her profession as a Death Angel was now complete!
“Brother once said that he plans to attempt the Divine Trial before he reaches Level 40. Now that I have Death’s Call, I can help him!” Qin Li’s face radiated sincerity as she spoke of her brother, Qin Xian.
Aunt Mo, standing beside her, sighed quietly in her heart. She knew just how much Qin Li had sacrificed to grow stronger and be of help to her brother. A single word of praise from Qin Xian could make Qin Li happy for days.
“Miss, there’s news from the young master. A large-scale dungeon, Shattered Heaven, will open in three days, and the young master is already heading to the Hengjiang District.”
“Brother…” Upon hearing news of Qin Xian, Qin Li’s face was filled with longing, “Let’s go immediately!”
Although Qin Li had only been apart from Qin Xian for two months, to her, even a day apart from her brother was unbearable.
