Chapter 1462: Chapter 1332: Divine Venerable Corpse (Two in One)_2
"Young Lady Xiaosheng is right, we mustn’t act rashly before things are clear, especially you, Big Smokey, did you hear that?"
Gu Yue’s heart was filled with tension, fearing that Big Smokey would cause trouble, and he made a point to remind him.
"I get it, I won’t make a move without Young Lady Xiaosheng’s orders, okay?"
Big Smokey replied irritably, but that earned him a glare from Youtong, making him quickly shut up, afraid of inviting disaster.
As time went by, the Firebird’s size gradually shrank until it was completely absorbed into the coffin, not even a feather left behind.
Seeing this, Su Ran breathed a long sigh of relief, no boss to contend with, now he could finally get out of the coffin!
But.
Unexpectedly, the coffin, having absorbed a great deal of energy, transformed into a teleportation light gate that forcefully ejected him out, followed by the light gate dissipating into the air, and even the coffin disappeared.
"What kind of situation is this?"
Cream Xiaosheng and the others were completely dumbfounded, not understanding at all what had just happened. A perfectly good boss just vanished without even a fart—this was too illogical!
"No way, did the Firebird and the coffin both perish? Have we just been busy for nothing?"
Big Smokey was somewhat unwilling to accept this. The cooked duck had just flown away; who would be happy about that?
"There’s nothing we can do; it might be the system refreshing."
Cream Xiaosheng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, analyzing, "This is an Overturning Water task, only he knows what exactly happened. Unfortunately, he’s not here right now, which might be why we can’t trigger the follow-up mission, causing the task to fail."
"Damn, now that you mention it, that’s entirely possible!"
Reminded by Cream Xiaosheng, Big Smokey then remembered that they were there to help Overturning Water, but since he wasn’t there, it stood to reason that the mission could fail. In other words, all their efforts had been in vain...
"So... what do we do next? Brother Overturning Water isn’t here, and we can’t contact him, we can’t just wait here forever, can we?"
Big Smokey had lost his patience to wait any longer, filled with gloom and irritation. If it weren’t for Cream Xiaosheng being there, he would have teleported back to the city already—remaining in this rotten place just made things worse! freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Let’s disband, we’ll notify everyone when it’s time to do the storyline."
Cream Xiaosheng knew that they couldn’t force the task anymore. They could only wait for Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained to return to know the direction of the storyline. But the current whereabouts of Overturning Water were unknown, whether dead or alive, and waiting now would only be a waste of time. Rather than keeping them here, it was better to disband the team.
Watching her teammates all return to the Imperial City, Cream Xiaosheng remained motionless, her expression complex as she looked towards the direction where the coffin had disappeared, frozen in place.
...
In a pitch-black space, a series of invisible fluctuations spread, and Su Ran appeared within this space.
"Where... is this?"
Even with Su Ran’s Undead vision, he could not make out the scenery within two meters, showing just how dark this place was. Anxiously, he opened the system map, only to find it was a hidden terrain, not recorded by the system, not even coordinates.
"Trying to raise the difficulty of the plot with darkness? Heh heh, you don’t know this brother at all!"
Su Ran wasn’t flustered by such a hostile environment. He pulled out a peculiarly shaped stone from under him, and had Banana been there, she would have exclaimed, Elf Illusion Stone!
This Elf Illusion Stone, a reward given by the Elf Queen, possessed Night Vision Ability, which was perfectly useful here.
"Swish."
After using the Elf Illusion Stone, Su Ran’s appearance underwent a certain change, transforming into a person with a heroic and dashing posture, charming and handsome, both intelligent and good-looking... Ah, never mind, I’d better not boast too much, it’s easy to get struck by lightning.
Transformed into an elf’s appearance, Su Ran’s field of vision instantly expanded; he could no longer see a trace of darkness, as if it were daylight, and took in the entire scenery of this space at a glance. However, he also knew that this transformative ability had a ten-minute time limit, and he must gather as much mission information as possible within this finite timeframe to avoid ending up in a passive position.
Then.
Su Ran ran with all his might in the air, pushing the Treading on Air Technique to its limit, like a whirlwind tour observing the scenery below. In no time at all, he had explored the majority of this hidden terrain. To his surprise, he found that this place was actually a body of water, with the land only occupying a small part, which inadvertently increased the difficulty of his task.
However, even if it was water terrain, he was not afraid at all. Having the Frost Orb, he could easily stay in the water for a year without any issue!
Of course, the prerequisite was not encountering any danger...
After he finished exploring all terrains, he confirmed that secrets were hidden underneath the water. His previous thought of a quick battle had to be abandoned.
"Splash."
Su Ran first used a Calamity Avoiding Charm to ensure his safety, then cut through the water with a bone scythe and dived in, quickly submerging deeper.
"Eh?"
After descending about five meters, Su Ran was surprised to find that the schools of fish around him were inherently luminescent, which significantly increased his field of vision.
From this, it was evident that the system still had some conscience and didn’t make things too difficult for him; the challenge remained within manageable limits. Even without the elf transformation effect, he could still continue, because it was impossible to use torches underwater. Now there’s no need to worry about that.
Thinking of this, Su Ran slowed his descent and carefully observed the surrounding environment, looking to uncover what secrets the Corpse Hiding Map held, being so well-hidden!
After a while, the transformation effect disappeared, adding to the difficulty of Su Ran’s exploration, but it did not affect his determination to hunt for treasure. He knew that each Corpse Hiding Map represented a rare opportunity, possibly concealing treasures of immense value!
Finally.
When Su Ran was about to scour the entire water region, a mummified corpse appeared in his sight.
The cadaver was dressed in a luxurious divine robe, with a large ’Honored’ character on its back, and only the skeletal outline of wings left. Just by this ’Honored’ mark on the back, it was evident that this deity was extraordinary, likely of the honored rank among the God Race, comparable to the Dark Honored One from the Undead Race. Su Ran would not dare to underestimate this NPC, not even defiling it as a corpse!
This showed that no matter how strong the flesh, it could not withstand the erosion of time, not even an honored one!
"An honored one, huh..."
Su Ran got ready, planning to deploy his smooth-talking skills, as these old-fashioned, worldly-inexperienced NPCs were the easiest to bamboozle. With a bit of luck, he might effortlessly acquire an ancient treasure!
Of course.
Su Ran also hoped this corpse wouldn’t spring back to life and would remain a stable corpse. Then he could rightfully undress it of its divine robe and sell it to the Amu God King at a high price, making a fortune off the dead.
However, just as Su Ran came within three meters of the corpse, something unexpected happened.
The blue light points that had entered his body, without his consent, left his body on their own, converging into a torrent and flooding into the corpse.
"..."
Su Ran helplessly shook his head, his idea of making money off the dead abruptly snuffed out. He understood that the system, in its way of doing things, wouldn’t let one easily get their hands on treasure. That divine robe of the honored deity, certainly no ordinary item, required one to pay a price to obtain it.
As Su Ran was distracted, the color of the corpse’s body surface began to turn pale blue and in less than a minute, the entire body turned blue, just like the Avatar, extremely eye-catching.
Having played the game for so long, Su Ran had never encountered a humanoid creature with such skin color. He couldn’t help but take a few extra looks and then stayed put, not daring to make any extra movements, for fear of agitating the corpse.
After all, he was not clear whether this deity of the God Race was friend or foe, nor was he clear about this fellow’s temperament. Caution was advisable...
