Chapter 1424: Chapter 1307: Red Demon Corpse King (Combined Chapters)_2

"Haha, there really are some good stuff inside!"

Diving headfirst into the four-meter-long coffin, Su Ran found that it contained many artifact materials, along with a stick embedded with runes, which was clearly not an ordinary item.

"Hey, now I’ve got the materials for summoning a demon, lucky me!"

Su Ran had initially planned to ask Wan’er to help him purchase more high-quality artifact materials. He didn’t expect to stumble upon such a trove in a coffin today. The burial offerings this time were really quite unusual, but he liked them.

"What’s this stick for?"

Holding the stick in his hand, feeling its icy chill, Su Ran muttered to himself, puzzled, "Since it’s used as a burial offering, I can’t assume it’s ordinary. Could this be... a shit-stirring stick?"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Su Ran’s face turned a bit unnatural, even contemplating the urge to throw it away.

Fortunately, there was no strange smell.

With a look of disdain, Su Ran began inspecting the properties of the stick, but to his disappointment, it was unidentified.

However, Su Ran had his own ways to deal with unidentified equipment. He pulled out the Truth Holy Water he had obtained earlier and poured it directly onto the stick.

This Truth Holy Water was a treasure Su Ran had obtained from grinding Rock Monsters in the Elf Forest, which could be used to identify equipment below the Dark Gold Rank and had a certain chance of breaking equipment seals, quite handy. He had been reluctant to use it until today, when it came in handy.

Su Ran actually hoped the Truth Holy Water wouldn’t work, because that would mean the item was at least of Dark Gold quality, making its value self-evident.

However, to his disappointment, the Truth Holy Water did its job, and the stick was successfully identified.

[Rune Wand](Quest)

It contains three runes that can enhance the strength of the Red Demon Zombie.

Life: Increases the Red Demon Zombie’s health by 50%, and defense by 25%.

Death: Summons deceased undead; for each Undead that appears, the Red Demon Zombie’s maximum health increases by 100 points, with no upper limit.

Burst: Grants the Red Demon Zombie the ability to burst, effect unknown.

Note: If the three runes appear simultaneously, friendship with the Red Demon Zombie will be attained.

"Damn, it’s actually a quest item, but this isn’t bad either. I can use it to mess with Dai Xuan, as if it’s that easy to kill a BOSS!"

Holding the quest wand, Su Ran glanced at the giant furry zombie, noticing that it still had plenty of health. He didn’t rush to use Rune·Life and instead triggered Rune·Death immediately.

"Whoosh!"

A stream of black energy dissipated from the Rune Wand, forming a massive ’death’ character in mid-air, which then turned into millions of black light spots, falling onto the coffins below.

In an instant.

Each occupied coffin began to vibrate violently, and from them emerged zombies, nearly eighty by a quick count!

In other words, this furry zombie just gained nearly eight thousand points of health out of thin air!

"Dai Xuan, I wonder if this big present I’m giving you meets your expectations. Don’t be polite, just kill them. If you need more blood, I’ll add some."

Su Ran grinned, very satisfied with this use of the rune. All he needed to do now was lie back in the coffin and enjoy the show.

...

"Haha, finally got rid of that damn poison fog; almost choked me to death just now!"

"I’m going to swear off smoking after this, can’t stand the smell anymore!"

"Boss, what’s going on, feels like the BOSS got stronger!"

"Don’t think too much, kill it quickly, delays can lead to complications!"

"Holy shit, what’s happening? Why are these zombies crawling out of the coffins by themselves?"

"Making a fuss over nothing, it’s standard for a BOSS to summon minions, these level 20 mobs aren’t even worthy of carrying our shoes!"

None of them took it seriously, continuing to unleash everything they had on the Red Demon Zombie King. In their view, maintaining this state of attack was not too difficult to bring down the BOSS!

The disappearance of the poison fog bolstered everyone’s confidence, spurring them on to attack even harder.

"Kill, kill!"

The Red Demon Zombie King, being an undead creature, didn’t feel much pain. It bravely withstood everyone’s attacks, mechanically dishing out its own, and in a fight of life for life, it struck down nearly ten players.

The zombies that rushed forward didn’t pose any threat, in fact, the players were too busy to even pay attention to them. It was a pathetic sight, truly the tragedy of such minor creatures.

Su Ran, as a bystander, could clearly see the situation unfolding, with the Red Undead King outmatched, his defeat became even more apparent. He couldn’t help but once again trigger the rune "Explode".

Another burst of black energy emerged from the wand, forming a large "Explode" character, which then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, surged into the body of the Red Undead King.

"Explode!!!"

A glimmer of clarity flashed in the eyes of the Red Undead King, quickly enveloped again by a crimson hue, followed by a Roar as a clear "Explode" character erupted forth.

"Bang Bang Bang!"

As the Red Undead King’s words translated into action, all the zombies that the players had ignored turned into time bombs, one after another exploding, the resulting force of the explosions was terrifying, sending shockwaves tossing almost everyone into the air.

The damage from the chain explosions was not as simple as 1+1=2; with the damage stacking up, nearly a hundred people were blown up on the spot, leaving a carpet of bodies on the ground.

But at that moment, the Red Undead King’s right hand raised high, and the coffin in the distance burst with a terrifying suction force, drawing all the fresh corpses inside. Such a peculiar scene scared the wits out of the remaining players.

"Holy shit, this BOSS is cheating!"

"Run for it! It’s not on our level, we can’t fight it!"

"Eh? Where’s the Guild Leader? He didn’t kick the bucket before us, did he?"

"Stop talking nonsense, the Guild Leader escaped long ago and specially asked me to let you all know, the second floor is safe!"

"Damn, did the Guild Leader grease his shoes or what? When did he escape without me noticing?"

The remaining hundred or so players dared not confront the Red Undead King any longer, fleeing into the second level space. Seeing that the Undead King did not pursue, they finally relaxed.

"Guild Leader, what do we do now?"

These deserters, upon seeing Dai Xuan, were like seeing their pillar of strength. While replenishing their health, they asked urgently, expressions filled with frustration and traces of fear, their feelings quite complex.

"Wait."

Dai Xuan gazed intently at the staircase entrance, his thoughts unclear.

...

Inside the giant coffin, an Undead skeleton poked its head out, observing the battle. Upon seeing Dai Xuan and his group escape, it felt a bit of regret.

Wouldn’t it have been great to capture them all in one go?

However, it was already miraculous that a single Undead King could kill to such an extent; it was futile to ask for more.

While Su Ran was lost in his wild thoughts, the pile of coffins beside him trembled. All the bodies that had been sucked in reanimated into zombies, crawling out and heading in the direction of the Red Undead King.

"Hey, so these zombie bombs can be manufactured on the spot? Am I in a munitions factory?"

Su Ran was stunned by the Red Undead King’s sharp moves. If this BOSS were to come under his command, how awesome would that be!

My territory is like a graveyard, with graves and coffins aplenty, and no shortage of corpses, the only thing missing is such talent!

Once the friendship level increases, he’ll have to discuss this business with this Undead King BOSS, even at a price!

However.

What Su Ran hadn’t expected was that the Red Undead King, leading his freshly made minions, was heading in his direction. Seeing this, he realized that lying in the BOSS’s coffin made it difficult to remain unnoticed!

However, Su Ran had an ace up his sleeve and naturally wasn’t afraid of this BOSS. The Rune Wand made it very clear, only by using all three rune skills would he earn the Red Undead King’s friendship. Without hesitation and before the Red Undead King could spot him, he used the rune "Life".

Following the routine, the black smoke transformed into the character "Life" and poured into the Red Undead King’s body, its health instantly replenished, and even its muscles seemed to solidify. The bloodshot in its eyes began to fade, and at a glance, it looked no different from a living creature.

...

Su Ran stood up voluntarily from the coffin, exposing himself to the Red Undead King’s view, shaking the Rune Wand in his hand to indicate that he had been secretly helping.

Sure enough.

After receiving Su Ran’s hint, the Red Undead King’s gaze softened considerably towards him, with at least no killing intent present.

"Ding! Congratulations to player ’Skeleton’ for increasing your friendly status with the special BOSS Red Undead King. Current status: Friendly."

With the system prompt sound, Su Ran felt like he’d taken a heart-calming pill. They were already one of their own, what was there to be afraid of?
