Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1503 - 1360 The Biggest Winner (Two in One)_2

A black curtain of light flashed out, enveloping Sang Ze within, impenetrable to sight, shrouded in darkness with unknown occurrences inside.

"Ah?"

Su Ran was surprised to notice that the moment the black curtain appeared, all the fish monsters outside of the curtain, the gray aura wrapping around them vanished completely, each returning to normal apart from those that Su Ran had drawn aggro from, and the rest turned and left.

What is this?

Su Ran felt somewhat surprised by this scene and immediately revealed an expression of delight. The evil spirit aura emitted by the Soul Locking collar was actually blocked by the domain!

This is indeed great news!

Through this Nightfall Arrival domain, Su Ran understood the true essence of protection, using the domain skill to perfectly counter the dispersal of the evil spirit aura!

Heh, a fortunate accident...

With this in mind, Su Ran had no intention to lure monsters any longer. He immediately made Wang Cai enter a forced stealth state, ending the fish swarm’s aggro lock, and quickly dived into the dark curtain.

As he expected, those pursuing fish monsters, without the aggro chain, dispersed in all directions, swimming away.

However,

Before Su Ran could even breathe a sigh of relief, the Nightfall domain dissipated, and the evil spirit aura from the Soul Locking collar began to disperse again, faster than before, spreading out three meters away in the blink of an eye.

"Damn, will this ever end?"

If it weren’t for the NPC needing to refine this Soul Locking collar, Su Ran really wanted to stuff it into his bladder to stop it from causing trouble!

"Since this domain is useful, then let it come again!"

Su Ran did not wish to relive the earlier scenario and directly activated the domain skill carried by the Dragon Soul Sand, Heaven-covering Yellow Sand.

(Heaven-covering Yellow Sand—Creates a Yellow Sand Domain, within which, the speed of hostile targets is reduced by 50%, evasion -3, with a duration of 60 seconds.)

"Swish!"

Countless yellow sands flowed with the tide, quickly forming an earthy yellow light dome, once again blocking the evil spirit aura, shrinking it back into the Soul Locking collar.

"Just hold on for these 60 seconds and then it’s all about fighting harder..."

Su Ran knew well that this fierce battle was merely delayed by him, sooner or later he would have to face it, unless the domain could last for three hours, otherwise, he shouldn’t even contemplate any luck in this aspect.

If not for the special architectural blueprint, Su Ran would have left already. The difficulty of this protection mission had already exceeded his imagination; it was just the beginning, and so many fish monsters were attracted. If several BOSSES joined in, the difficulty level would at least increase by half!

Using this time while danger has not yet arrived, Su Ran withdrew all other pets back to the pet space to avoid a state of asphyxiation, calling them only when needed later.

One minute, under such tense conditions, quickly passed, and the evil spirit aura on the Soul Locking collar began to stir again, spreading in all directions, the consequences were easy to guess—gathering the fish swarm again was only a matter of time.

"How annoying, if only I could control this evil spirit aura..."

Su Ran sighed; he had no solution to the evil spirit aura, could only watch helplessly as it dispersed, gathering countless fish monsters to disrupt Sang Ze’s refining state, unless waiting for the domain skill’s cooldown to offer some respite.

"Why control it? Isn’t it delicious?"

The small mudfish looked at Su Ran with a puzzled gaze, even shaping its body into a question mark.

"I mean, is there anything else in your little head besides eating? If you could eat up all this evil spirit aura, the reward would be doubled for you!"

Su Ran was speechless with this little foodie, who wanted to eat everything, even though it was growing, it couldn’t just eat anything!

In fact, to train a stomach that is immune to all poisons is not difficult, start from an early age drinking melamine-laced milk, eating oil-fried dough sticks from the gutter oil, Formalin-soaked dead pork, preservative-soaked fruits, Sudan red-pickled salted duck eggs, contraceptive-fed fish, and flour whitened with whitening agents among others; eating these regularly, probably no common poison can harm.

But this small mudfish never experienced any of that, even with the Dragon Clan physique, surviving to adulthood after eating any of the aforementioned substances would be a miracle...

"I... can eat!"

Upon hearing that Su Ran was giving double rewards, the little loach instantly perked up, zipping toward Sang Ze and inhaling sharply at the collar, during which a magical sight unfolded.

The flow of water was not affected by this suction, but the evil spirit energy was absorbed into its belly. With this amazing trick alone, it definitely could be selected for the Spring Festival Gala, much more reliable than those shady magic shows.

Not long after, the energy emanating from the Soul Locking collar was completely devoured. The little loach smacked its lips, finding the collar now so shiny it could reflect light, which ended its thoughts of continuing to suck, and swam toward Su Ran.

"Reward, hand it over."

The little loach excitedly circled around Su Ran, waiting for him to fulfill his promise, and didn’t forget to remind, "Double, double!"

"Don’t rush, wait until we’re back in my domain, I’ll give it to you then. This reward is quite valuable, handing it to you now might attract unwanted attention."

Su Ran didn’t expect that the little loach would really absorb the evil spirit energy so cleanly and so quickly. He hadn’t even decided what an appropriate reward would be; he surely couldn’t just fob it off with some graveyard grass.

At this rate, a rebellion from the little loach wouldn’t be far off...

Left with no choice, he could only resort to stalling tactics; he’d have to take it one step at a time.

Once in the domain, he’d really have to dig through his stash, as it probably still held many things the little loach would like. He’d address it then.

"Do I still have to wait?"

The little loach showed a sullen mood but didn’t seem too unhappy. It burrowed into Su Ran’s dark robe, mentioning, "Let me digest a bit, don’t disturb me."

"You see what eating recklessly gets you? Now your stomach hurts, right?"

Su Ran grinned, scooping the little loach into his pet space. His attention then stayed on Sang Ze. Now that the evil spirit issue was resolved, the task of protection became much easier without worries of disturbance, just needing to patiently cover a few more hours.

But unexpectedly, just as this thought arose, Sang Ze began to stir.

Sang Ze stood up, shook his neck, removed the Soul Locking collar, and muttered in confusion, "That shouldn’t be right? Why is there only so little energy from this evil spirit beast?"

"Elder, how did you wake up so fast? Wasn’t it supposed to take several hours to assimilate?"

Su Ran didn’t grasp what this NPC was mumbling and promptly justified, "You wouldn’t believe how dangerous it was just now. I barely managed to fend off a wave of fish, these monster fish are too numerous, even my pet almost didn’t make it!"

"Only one wave? Strange, that’s not logical..."

Hearing what Su Ran said added to Sang Ze’s puzzlement, like playing a game that should take ten hours but finishing in ten minutes, making him feel unreal.

"As for that, elder, don’t doubt it. Finishing assimilation early is a good thing; we should celebrate, don’t you agree?"

Su Ran sweated; he knew the reason but couldn’t say it!

Due to the Darknight Thunder Dragon absorbing it spontaneously, even NPCs were left bewildered; this was indeed a first encounter.

If Sang Ze knew the full story, who knows if it would trigger a subplot. Better not to take on such responsibilities, to avoid attracting trouble—that’s a saying from the ancients worth heeding.

"Celebrate? What do you know!"

Hearing these words, Sang Ze’s expression changed instantly, scolding, "Losing so much energy, do you know what a great loss this is for me!"

It’s not like I’m your father, how would I know the extent of your loss...

When Su Ran realized the evil spirit energy was indeed energy, he was secretly pleased; the Darknight Thunder Dragon turned out to be the biggest winner!

No wonder the little guy said the energy was edible; it truly was a misunderstanding to blame it. Having consumed so much energy, no wonder it was eager to digest it. If it could level up several times continuously, that would be a huge profit.

The low level of the Darknight Thunder Dragon was a significant drawback; the appearance of the evil spirit energy was timely. It must be said, when luck comes, it can’t be stopped!

"Elder, if there is nothing else, I shall take my leave now."

Su Ran had no desire to stay and watch this NPC’s face. Now that the task was completed, it was best to return to the domain to use the schematics, to avoid prolonged issues or unforeseen changes.
