Chapter 1370: Chapter 1268: A Title that Exudes Power
"Click, click."
Under the deliberate control of the Western Pilgrim, all skeletons levitated in the air. He wanted to see the desperate look of this robed human and let this arrogant human know how foolish it was to offend him!
"What the hell? Flying skeletons?"
"What kind are these, even having bone wings? Are these really divine corpses?"
The Big Smoke Ghost could hardly believe his eyes and exclaimed in shock, his expression turning extremely grave. This was the first time he had encountered such skeletons, and their strength must not be weak!
"Ghost Ghost, you’re really making a mountain out of a molehill. So what if they have wings? At their core, they’re still just skeletons!"
Youtong was more relaxed than the Big Smoke Ghost and didn’t have much fear toward these skeletons. Her only concern now was, facing the hundreds of Undead skeletons alone, how could Overturning Water break through such an overwhelming situation?
"Overturning Water, be careful!"
The words of the Creamy Youngster carried a tremor in her voice. She didn’t dare to look at the scene before her. With so many Undead skeletons, even ants can bite an elephant to death, let alone these skeletons. Facing such an absolute disadvantage, she felt a thick sense of despair.
"Miss Youngster, don’t worry, big brother Overturning Water will be fine."
Gu Yue tried to soothe the Creamy Youngster, but even she didn’t believe her own words. She could only hope for a miracle, that big brother Overturning Water would turn the tide and annihilate all these Undead skeletons in a flash. But was this possible?
...
"Tsk, tsk, Undead skeletons are just Undead skeletons. What’s with the fancy name of ’Sacred Undead’? How can you be so shameless?"
As the person involved, Su Ran was not at all panicked in the face of these hundreds of skeletons and still had the leisure to bicker with the Western Pilgrim, which made the four onlookers so anxious they almost wished they could break free from their chains, rush onto the stone platform, and beat him up. What was the matter with him, not running away at a time like this?
"Human, let’s see how arrogant you can be!"
The Western Pilgrim’s cold gaze swept over Su Ran’s mask, devoid of any warmth. Following that, he brandished his vine staff sharply and bellowed, "Kill him!"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!"
All the Undead skeletons rushed toward Su Ran in unison, and in an instant, the air churned with murderous intent, so dense that even the air seemed to solidify, creating an atmosphere of utmost tension.
Su Ran, up on the stone platform, had no escape. What could he possibly do to turn the tide of danger? Or had he already given up, resigned to his fate?
The Big Smoke Ghost and the others sweated for Su Ran, too nervous to speak, even forgetting to breathe.
But at this critical moment, Su Ran stood tall on the stage, not panicking in the slightest despite the dire situation. Then, lifting one hand above his head, he shouted, "Undead skeletons, heed my command, turn and attack!"
The four spectators looked at Su Ran as if he were foolish. They thought he might make a counterattacking move, but instead, he seemed to talk nonsense out of fright, embarrassing himself to no end...
They had no interest in watching any longer. The outcome seemed inevitable. Even if he struggled now, it was too late. Accepting his fate as a sacrificial offering might still offer a chance of survival. With so many Undead skeletons around, why resist? Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
While they let their thoughts run wild, a miracle occurred.
Nearly half of the skeletons immediately turned traitor, slashing at their fellow kind nearby, and chaos erupted throughout the space. At this moment, Su Ran on the stone platform became the safest person there.
"This is just too exaggerated, right? To turn so many at once, I’m seriously starting to suspect that brother Overturning Water must be cheating!"
"Holy crap, brother Overturning Water, so you were this formidable, hiding your light under a bushel!"
"I knew it, he could do it! Little Miss, I wasn’t wrong, eh?"
"This guy, always acting cool, not showing his hand till the last minute, making me... worrying about him for nothing, he’s really the worst!"
Looking at Su Ran on the stone platform, Creamy Youth’s eyes sparkled with amazement, though she grumbled aloud, her face betrayed her joy.
Fortunately, her face was covered with a white veil, so no one else noticed anything unusual.
"Does anyone know how the Overturning Water brother did it?"
Big Smokey excitedly turned to the three women beside him, but then regretted it, "Forget I asked. You wouldn’t know even if I did."
Youtong unusually didn’t snap back at Big Smokey; her eyes held only the figure of Su Ran. To see someone turn the tides with such ease in a situation of absolute disadvantage was unheard and unseen!
"How is this possible? Despicable human, what sorcery are you using?"
Not only had Big Smokey and the rest never seen such a thing, but even the centuries-old Pilgrim Monk, was encountering this for the first time. He asked incredulously as if he had seen a ghost, "Who exactly are you? Who taught you?"
"Do you believe me if I say I went through nine years of compulsory education?"
Su Ran grinned, giving the Pilgrim Monk a pitiful look. To ask such a foolish question, it seemed he was really regressing with age...
However, in this matchup, Su Ran inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the NPC had summoned Undead skeletons. If it had summoned another creature, he would’ve fled as far as he could, not daring to take this risk.
Showing off is a skill that requires backing; without the know-how, one wouldn’t dare to undertake delicate tasks.
The source of Su Ran’s confidence came from the quest he’d previously obtained from the Skeleton Saint, which granted him the title "Junior Commander" as a reward.
"Junior Commander" (Title)
Within the area of activity, you can freely control 100 Undead skeletons or 10 skeleton warriors to participate in battle. Earn a certain amount of command experience based on the number of enemy targets killed. When the experience is full, automatically upgrade the commander level, and with each upgrade, increase the number of skeletons you can control.
These black skeletons might look different from the usual Undead, but they couldn’t change their nature as skeletons. Controlling a hundred was a piece of cake!
Missing the chance to show off such a fitting operation would not do justice to the title of commander!
"Brother Monk, although our paths have crossed, it’s a pity our pursuits differ, and we’re destined to be enemies. The affinity with your Divine Pig ends here."
Having said his piece with feigned sincerity, Su Ran commanded his shadowy Bone Eagle to launch a sneak attack. The ancient Poison Serpent, not to be outdone, spat out two Poison Gas Bombs in quick succession, targeting the back of the Pilgrim Monk’s head.
"To think I let the Mechanism Divine Pig acknowledge you as its master, I must have been blind!"
The mere mention of the Mechanism Divine Pig set the Pilgrim Monk seething, and if not for the rules, he would’ve wanted to take it back from Su Ran on the spot.
"Don’t blame yourself, that was a blindness you deserved."
Su Ran nodded seriously and pointed in the direction of the Pilgrim Monk, "Hey, what’s that behind you?"
"?"
The Pilgrim Monk had been so aggravated by Su Ran that he lost his usual vigilance. He turned his head instinctively after hearing him and immediately looked stupefied.
Well, I’ll be — a basin-sized Poison Gas Bomb was hurling straight at him, smashing harshly into his aged features. Not only that, but the Dark Bone Eagle’s aerial attack skill successfully hit its target, causing a knockdown effect. The Pilgrim Monk uncontrollably plummeted towards the ground.
