Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1529 - 1378: Breaking the Divine Curse

"Phew, that was not easy, but finally, I can get rid of this annoying Divine Curse!"

Su Ran appeared within his territory and after scanning the village, he decided to place the Mountain Suppression Stone next to the sacred altar. Because only the sacred altar was the safest place, with the presence of the Sky-reaching Vine and the Bone Dragon King, even if Sang Ze wanted to steal it back, it would be impossible.

Thinking this, Su Ran quickly moved to the side of the altar and embedded the vermilion stone into it.

"Whoosh!"

The Mountain Suppression Stone rooted to the ground, emanating red light all over, and in an instant enveloped the entire territory within, filling the air with a fiery mist, which melted away quickly like ice meeting fire, and soon was cleaned up completely.

With the Divine Curse status gone, Su Ran was relieved of a great burden, and his entire being felt much lighter.

"Rustle, rustle."

The Sky-reaching Vine had been tormented by the fire mist all this time, wilting and curling up on the ground, looking pitiable as if it was about to wither. Now that the fire mist was gone, the vine finally gained spirit, struggling to rise and wrapping around Su Ran, conveying a sense of grievance.

"So, your weakness is curses, but now you’re fine. With the Mountain Suppression Stone here, no curse can penetrate into the territory!"

Su Ran soothed the Sky-reaching Vine with a voice of comfort, touched the tender green leaves, and compensated it with a drop of Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, only then did the vine regain its former vigor.

It’s true that one thing suppresses another. I thought that the complete Sky-reaching Vine was the symbol of invincibility. Who knew it would have something to fear? Seeing this, Su Ran thought of the Sky-reaching Vine in the Elf Forest. If the Divine Curse was thrown over there, wouldn’t the Elf Palace fall from above?

Such a scene would leave the Elf Queen with no face to meet anyone.

Sweat first.

"My lord, my lord!"

An urgent voice came from behind Su Ran, and turning his head, he saw it was the old beggar running towards him, panting heavily, which indeed made it tough for him.

"Old sir, don’t panic, first take out your phone and post a DY on your moments."

Su Ran, to show his attention to the old beggar, hurriedly went over to greet him, but to his surprise, the old beggar bypassed him and ran straight to the altar.

"Cough, cough."

Su Ran felt a bit embarrassed and turned back around.

"Indeed, indeed it’s this treasure!"

The old beggar’s hands trembled with excitement, "The Mountain Suppression Stone, it is said that there is only one in the world, taken by the God Race. I didn’t expect to see its true form today!"

"What?"

Hearing this, Su Ran realized that the value of the Mountain Suppression Stone far exceeded his imagination!

There was only one Mountain Suppression Stone in the entire God-Demon Continent. Instantly his status was different. No wonder the God Race was so angry, directly wiping their favorability clean, blacklisting him as an unwelcome person, and even worth a system message. Turns out, this Mountain Suppression Stone is a super valuable treasure, even more precious than the Mona Lisa!

"Old gentleman, your eyesight is indeed impressive, to even recognize the Mountain Suppression Stone."

Su Ran greatly admired the old beggar’s knowledge. Such treasured artifacts are usually cherished by the God Race and not made known to everyone in a flamboyant manner. Unexpectedly, the old beggar recognized it at a glance, which somewhat surprised Su Ran.

"I once had the fortune to see the image of the Mountain Suppression Stone at the Human Emperor’s. Alas, another cannot be found throughout the God-Demon Continent, and the Human Emperor let go of his obsession and stopped coveting such a treasure for defending his territory."

As the old beggar spoke, his eyes never left the Mountain Suppression Stone. Judging by the situation, if it were possible, he would have taken the stone back to his room to admire in secret long ago. Why would he make a fool of himself here?

"However, my lord, you must be careful. Such a treasure is too conspicuous and may attract thieves. Moreover, the location you’ve chosen is not the least bit concealed. It’s as if you’re announcing it to the world. This could provoke a massive attack by the God Race on your territory. This move is improvident, extremely so!"

The old beggar’s brow furrowed tightly, seemingly concerned about the future of the territory. The God Race, a race that reigns supreme over the Undead, has a vast disparity in power. This little village can’t possibly protect such an important artifact!

"It’s alright. The God Race is currently unable to save themselves, let alone launch an attack. How could they organize an attack without any people?"

Su Ran smiled and shook his head, finding the old beggar’s worries a bit excessive. The potential danger he mentioned was true, but it depended on the premise. Not to mention the current situation of the God Race, with the strength of his own territory, it would be difficult for enemies to enter, let alone discover the Mountain Suppression Stone.

Even if enemies somehow managed to enter the territory, with the Sky-reaching Vine and the Bone Dragon King as guardians, there is nothing to fear! Moreover, to steal the Mountain Suppression Stone, one would need master-level mining skills, which is simply not feasible!

In conclusion, choosing near the altar as the settling point for the Mountain Suppression Stone is not a problem.

"The God Race is unable to save themselves? What do you mean?"

The old beggar had always lived in the sewers of the Imperial City and was out of touch with current events, genuinely unaware of the changes within the God Race, which prompted his question.

"Old gentleman, you might not be aware, but the God Race..."

Su Ran recounted everything he saw and heard in the Divine Domain Main City, including the Rift Space underground, without concealment. Of course, he skipped over the treasures he had obtained, understanding the principle that wealth should not be flaunted openly.

"That’s strange, it shouldn’t be like this?"

Confusion appeared in the old beggar’s eyes. As he knew, the God Race was the most noble race, holding a leading position among the Human, God, and Beast Races. He couldn’t understand why such an event would occur, but then he let it go. He wasn’t even part of the Human Race anymore, so why bother thinking so much about it?

"Lord, it’s lucky that the Mountain Suppression Stone arrived in time, or the territory would have suffered great damage. Leave the rest to me—I’ll handle the repairs to the damaged houses, so there’s no need for you to worry."

"Thank you for your trouble, old gentleman."

Even if the old beggar hadn’t mentioned it, Su Ran had already intended to assign this task to him. Following that, Su Ran took out a dozen or so gold coins and handed them over—after all, they were on the same side now, and it wouldn’t do to keep him in poverty. Outsiders unaware of the situation might think he was mistreating a master!

"Lord, do you think I can still spend these gold coins now?"

Faced with the gleaming gold coins, the old beggar showed an intrigued expression, but then sadly smiled without taking them.

"What about...Underworld Coins?"

Su Ran also felt it was inappropriate since the circulating currency in Skeleton Village was Underworld Coins. Holding gold coins really didn’t make sense. Besides, the old beggar couldn’t return to the Imperial City, so for him, these gold coins might as well be roadside stones.

"Thank you for your generous gift, lord!"

The old beggar grabbed the Underworld Coins, his hands trembling. Su Ran didn’t know if it was out of excitement or disgust, but he understood how the old man felt. After all, he had been through it himself. However, after being accustomed to digging graves and dealing with coffins over time, it had become normal for him...
