Chapter 1471: Chapter 1337: The Shock of the Death Row Inmate (Combined Chapters)_2

"You actually own territory? My dear nephew, I always knew you would be successful, no wonder the Dark Honored One chose you to inherit its mantle. Truly, a young hero emerges!"

Uncle Yu couldn’t stop praising Su Ran, taking this opportunity to express his excitement.

Ahem.

Turns out NPCs can also suck up, Su Ran had now witnessed this. He quickly stopped the guy from continuing and interjected, "Senior, what do you mean?"

"I’m just an old guy with no place to call home. Staying with you seems like a good choice."

Uncle Yu was a straightforward person. After being released from prison, he had nowhere to go. On top of this mountain, he could look down upon everything, and the air was fresh too, which made him consider staying.

"Ding! Convict Uncle Yu wishes to serve under the lord of Skeleton Village. Do you agree?"

The system notification sounded, and Su Ran clicked ’agree’ without any hesitation. Another great general was in hand, and the defense force of the territory was becoming even stronger!

After that, Su Ran took Uncle Yu to meet the NPCs within his territory. When this guy learned that the Guardian Beast was the Five-clawed Bone Dragon King, and the residents included Demon of Communication Yin Si, Ghost King Drought Fiend, the devil dog Egg, and Architectural Grandmaster Lu Yue, Uncle Yu’s sliver of superiority complex had vanished completely, and all that was left on his face was a bitter smile.

"Dear nephew, I didn’t expect you to be so outstanding that even the esteemed Yin Si would serve under you. Me, a mere convict, might have been a bit presumptuous."

Uncle Yu put aside his air of superiority, looking at the tall vine and asked suspiciously, "What is this plant? I’ve never seen it in the Celestial Realm."

"This is the Sky-reaching Vine from the Elf Forest. It’s not very strong now, but just wait until it evolves to its ultimate form."

"Sky-reaching Vine? Even divine beings covet this vine as a protective treasure for a city! Legend has it that the Elf Palace sits atop the Sky-reaching Vine, a heritage of hundreds of millions of years!"

Uncle Yu sounded like Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden, his voice full of shock and awe. After coming into contact with the extravagant setup of this territory, he felt as if he had lived his life in vain, and his view of Su Ran completely changed, "Dear nephew, my blood pressure is a bit high, let me catch my breath and digest this information..."

"Senior, it’s normal to feel uncomfortable after being imprisoned for countless years. Take some rest, and I’ll go evolve the King Snake on the Demon-sealing Platform."

"King Snake, this beast... I’ve never heard of it, its strength probably isn’t all that."

Uncle Yu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, feeling slightly more balanced, and followed Su Ran to the Demon-sealing Platform.

"Swish!"

At the call of Su Ran, the fierce-looking King Snake materialized from illusion, hovering mid-air, exuding an oppressive aura that felt suffocating. Its thick tail bone was as flexible as a steel whip, leaving no doubt about its aggressiveness.

The King Snake looked down on Su Ran, its menacing presence gradually retracting, waiting for Su Ran’s commands.

"This undead... has such a formidable aura!"

Uncle Yu discarded any thought of underestimation, and instinctively straightened his back, secretly striving to measure up to it.

"Senior, I previously obtained the skin of the King Snake from its past life, that should significantly enhance its strength, right?"

Su Ran said to Uncle Yu by his side, and to his amusement, found the man was in a staring contest with the King Snake, his eyeballs nearly popping out. The King Snake, an unconscious undead sealed by magic, even if a divine being came along, would not feel any fear, let alone Uncle Yu.

"Skin? Is it intact?"

Uncle Yu rubbed his sore eyes, conveniently finding an excuse to back down, "Only with a complete skin can a fusion take place, there’s no need to bother with a damaged one."

"Senior, rest assured, the skin is intact."

Hearing about the fusion effect from Uncle Yu, Su Ran’s eyes lit up and he immediately took out the skin and tossed it to the floating King Snake.

As soon as the skin was released, it unfolded in the air like a giant net, wrapping around the King Snake. Shortly thereafter, the skin infiltrated the skeleton, and it was clear that the aura emitted by the King Snake continued to grow stronger.

Seeing this, Uncle Yu abandoned any idea of competing with the King Snake, quietly stepping back and letting out an imperceptible sigh. He realized that in Skeleton Village, each creature was a freak; compared with them, it was far too easy to injure his own self-esteem. Maybe it was better in the Divine Might Death Cell—being the cell’s tyrant was pretty good, too, at least he could feel the lonely desolation of being invincible.

The intricacies of the territory are deep; I yearn to return to prison...

"Crack crack crack."

The skeleton of the King Snake began to emit a series of crisp sounds, the color constantly shifting until it finally settled on a pitch-black hue.

Just when Su Ran felt that the evolution was complete, the black luster on the surface of the King Snake began to wriggle and morph, revealing the snake skin and gradually restoring its appearance from when alive, turning into a huge black python. However, the gaze remained utterly still, indicating that even in a new skin, it was still an Undead, its essence unchanged.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton, the offered King Snake BOSS has successfully evolved, enhancing the properties of the Demon-sealing Platform."

The moment the King Snake’s evolution was complete, the system notification sounds intruded uninvited, causing Su Ran to be stunned for a moment, before a look of realization crossed his face.

As expected, the properties of the Demon-sealing Platform have been strengthened again!

Su Ran silently celebrated, recalling the moment on the second floor of the Sewers beneath the Imperial City, when a group of newbie players opened their spatial bags, and the skins that burst forth. He had been in a rush to head to the Divine Domain Main City to help the big smoker and the others, but it was those newbies who had called him back, allowing him not to miss this opportunity.

If those players had taken it to be tailored, it would have been a completely different outcome.

Su Ran withdrew his thoughts and began inspecting the Demon-sealing Platform, curious just how much of an enhancement the evolution of the King Snake would bring.

[Demon-sealing Platform](Enhanced)

A territory with this structure will have +20 loyalty for all BOSSes affiliated with its own faction, and the chance of betrayal reduced by 45%.

Offering a BOSS with loyalty above 80 can further enhance the territory’s properties, with the level of enhancement dependent on the strength of the BOSS.

Soul of the King Snake: All buildings in Skeleton Village have +150 defense, +2500 resilience.

Skill 1: Manifestation – When the altar and Demon-sealing Platform are under attack, the entity materializes, autonomously guarding the Demon-sealing Platform, with 120% increase in entity strength, physical damage taken -30%, and magical damage taken -15%.

Skill 2: Thorn – All buildings in Skeleton Village have a rebound property, reflecting 50% of physical damage taken back at the attacker.

Skill 3: Sealing – When the Demon-sealing Platform is under attack, there is a certain chance that enemies will be forcibly sealed, rendering the sealed individual target unable to attack and move for a duration of four seconds.

"An additional 50 points to building defense, resilience increased by 500, entity strength increased by 20%. It’s a pity that the King Snake, now possessing an entity, has lost the special effect of ignoring physical damage, but it has gained resistance to magical damage, which is also quite good."

Su Ran repeated the enhanced properties of the Demon-sealing Platform to himself, his eyes shining brighter. He was very satisfied with the enhancement results; the defensive power of the territory had increased once again!

"Dear nephew, I’m going to rest now; my head is buzzing."

Uncle Yu could stay no longer and, after bidding farewell to Su Ran, he left the place.

"This guy, the hits haven’t been light."

Watching Uncle Yu’s hasty retreat, Su Ran smiled, understanding that some truths are better left unspoken.

With the matter of the King Snake settled, some of the burdens on Su Ran’s shoulders were lifted. What should he do next?

For a moment, Su Ran was conflicted. Should he go to the Beast Clan territory to search for the Sun Soul Stone, or undertake the Fire God’s trial? As for helping Qing Qi claim the Elf Forest’s Teleportation Scroll, that was already scheduled for after the new year; prioritizing his own affairs was more important!

In his view, even if he acquired the Sun Soul Stone and hatched the Sun God Bird, it wouldn’t immediately become a capable assistant. The trip to the Beast Clan could be postponed, and the Fire God’s trial was not to be undertaken until preparations were complete. Who knows when he would emerge from it? If he missed the great battle in the Dark Abyss, he would have himself to blame.

After much deliberation, Su Ran decided to head to the Dark Abyss first. While Dai Xuan’s forces were not yet attacking, it seemed like a good idea to connect with the Skeleton Saint.

Moreover, he could give the Skeleton Saint a heads-up, to prevent being caught off guard when attacked in one’s lair, which would be too late by then.

Having determined his next move, Su Ran pulled out the Teleportation Scroll gifted by the Skeleton Saint, transformed into a beam of white light, and vanished into thin air. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
