Chapter 1464: Chapter 1333: Turning Hostile Faster Than Flipping a Book (Combined Chapter)_2
"Really? Then I really should thank you properly."
The venerable figure revealed an enigmatic smile and slowly advanced towards Su Ran, with blue light beginning to condense in his hand.
"Thanks? Elder, you’re too kind. Just a token reward will do, a divine weapon, some General Skills, anything works – I’m not picky..."
Before Su Ran could finish speaking, he realized something was amiss. The killing intent emanating from the man was all too clear. Wisely, he shut his mouth and quietly stepped back several paces, summoning an army of skeletal Undead pets, planning to disrupt the elder’s perception.
As for why Su Ran chose to summon pets underwater, it was due to a special ability he had obtained – the Turtle Breathing Technique!
[Turtle Breathing Technique] (Passive)
The summoned pets have the ability to breathe underwater. They won’t be affected by suffocation BUFFs and water pressure for five minutes, and the duration for Undead pets is doubled.
Thus, the skeletons he had summoned were Undead pets, and their duration underwater extended up to 10 minutes!
"Undead, I wonder if you would like this generous gift!"
The elder’s mood turned faster than flipping a book. Everywhere he went, a layer of hard ice formed, rapidly spreading towards Su Ran’s direction. All the fish that were affected turned into chunks of ice and fell to the bottom of the water.
"Sly old thing!"
Su Ran had known this guy wasn’t harboring any good intentions. Fortunately, with a shield-bearing skeleton acting as a buffer, he successfully dodged the blast of the area-of-effect ice skill and quietly moved to the side, commanding the other skeletons to disperse in all directions.
"Hmm? You can use the Cloning Technique? Your strength is not weak! But what can that do? You can’t escape my control!"
The elder felt the ripples of the water and was somewhat surprised. However, this had little effect on him. He accelerated the spread of the ice, and in a short while, all ten shield-bearing skeletons were sealed.
"Die! Ice Burst!"
Believing he had complete control over the situation, the elder angrily shouted, unleashing a barrage of attacks.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of explosions rang out. These shield-bearing skeletons, which had not even had the chance to realize their value in life, turned into chunks of ice and were destroyed instantaneously.
"Damn, that’s some terrifying damage!"
Su Ran, hiding in the distance, thankfully dodged the disaster but broke out in a cold sweat. He had never anticipated that even with the defense of the shield-bearing skeletons, they would be destroyed in an instant – and in a streak of ten, which was just insane!
If it were himself in their place, he probably would have ended up the same...
Such was the terrifying strength of a venerable figure from the God Race!
He was utterly unapproachable!
Just why had this old fellow suddenly gone mad? When his Undead identity was revealed just now, it hadn’t provoked him. Could it have been because of something he said, perhaps a phrase that didn’t sit well with him?
Su Ran reflected upon his earlier words – Celestial Realm, totems, Amu God King, western pilgrim, Beast Soul Evil Spirit – he reviewed these keywords in sequence, combined with the elder’s tragic life after death, not even having a coffin to his name. That’s when he came to a conclusion—
Damn it, surely this elder of the God Race wasn’t a villain?
Crap, he had picked the wrong side!!!
"I mustn’t waste this precious Corpse Hiding Map. I have to earn back my investment!"
Su Ran made up his mind to find a way to mend the relationship with the elder. He would not engage in a losing deal and couldn’t afford to lose face!
"Undead, you should blame yourself for showing up here. The grave is where you belong!"
With his opponent gone, loneliness surged from all directions. Even with the power of a divine sovereign, he couldn’t fend off the erosion of solitude. The elder shook his head with a sigh, his expression forlorn, as he returned to his initial position, preparing to enter a long slumber again. As for when he would wake up, he did not wish to know.
At that moment, that familiar, hoarse voice echoed once more in the space.
"Elder, don’t rush to be angry, there seems to be a misunderstanding here."
Su Ran sped up his speech, and before the elder could go berserk, he completed his explanation. At the same time, he employed the Time Rewind ability to resummon the ten shield-bearing skeletons, directing them to scatter as substitutes for his life. Only then did he gain some assurance of safety.
Moreover, Su Ran adhered to the strategy of moving to a new location after firing a shot. After speaking, he immediately changed positions, striving not to be pinned down by this cunning opponent. Only by doing so could he have a bargaining chip in the negotiations!
"Not dead yet? You sure are tenacious!"
The elder’s face darkened once again. He wasn’t interested in listening to Su Ran’s defense and directly threw an ice sphere with a one-meter diameter towards the source of the sound. Upon reaching its destination, it exploded, causing a huge wave that churned the waters, its sheer power evident.
Fortunately,
Su Ran had mentally prepared, already directing the skeletons to flee in all directions, narrowly avoiding the terrifying impact.
He planned to use the movement-generated ripples to confuse the elder’s sensing, letting the old man exert his efforts in vain!
Thank heavens the elder was blind; otherwise, even a hundred lives wouldn’t suffice...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
Several ice arrows were launched with deadly accuracy, instantly striking and killing three shield-bearing skeletons on the spot.
As the elder was about to continue shooting down other skeletons, Su Ran’s voice came through again.
"Elder, please stop wasting your efforts. These aren’t my clones, but pets I’ve summoned. They’re all manifestations of magic, and there are endless amounts; you can’t possibly kill them all."
