Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1546 - 1390: Exchange

"This..."

Su Ran felt that something was amiss, quickly dodged to the side, and looked up toward the cave above. Now he realized that those special plants were used to seal the group of tiger beasts, and he had inadvertently unsealed them. This caused the mountain to crack, inadvertently releasing the tiger beasts.

Whether this was fortune or calamity, only time could tell.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh, swoosh!"

Shadows darted out from the cave, racing down the rock face towards the ground, merging into a black waterfall, an impressive sight to behold.

"You’ve got to be kidding me?"

Hiding in the distance, Su Ran took in the scene before him and realized that these were winged black tigers, definitely of the same clan as the black tiger BOSS below. It seemed he hadn’t just stirred up a hornet’s nest, but a tiger’s den!

But why didn’t the BOSS have wings? Could it mean that this group of lesser beasts was actually of a higher rank?

Strange indeed!

Full of doubts, Su Ran continued to observe, and with a quick count, he saw that in just a short span of ten seconds or so, nearly a hundred black tigers had emerged—quite a number!

Now, Su Ran understood why the lean black tiger BOSS had persisted in this magnetic field space until now, enduring without food. There was a mission belonging to it; if its clan wasn’t freed, it couldn’t rest in peace. No wonder, no wonder.

"Roar!"

Once all the black tigers had assembled, they roared in unison, as if celebrating rebirth, an incredibly powerful scene.

The hundreds of roars blended together, creating a violent shockwave that rampaged through the area. Even Su Ran couldn’t withstand it, covering his ears as he stumbled backward, his health inevitably dropping. If this continued, he would surely meet his end here...

At this moment, Su Ran’s head was buzzing, and describing his vision as seeing stars wouldn’t be an overstatement. He was filled with regret, wondering why he had to release these tigers and bring trouble upon himself.

Luckily.

The roar didn’t last long, and soon the soundwaves started to subside. All the tigers gathered around the BOSS, a massive, dense group, forming a powerful force that perhaps even a God King wouldn’t dare to underestimate.

"Great, now the task will be easy to complete. With so many black tigers, I only need to pluck a whisker to finish the mission,"

Until now, Su Ran was still thinking about completing his mission. However, he wondered, would the group of tigers agree to it? Taking on a whole bunch of black tigers by himself was simply ludicrous!

Just as Su Ran was conflicted, the black tiger BOSS left its followers and walked towards Su Ran’s direction, its gaze devoid of any hostility. At this moment, the black tiger in Su Ran’s eyes had turned into a docile black cat, albeit much larger in size.

"Tiger brother, you’re really something, not ungrateful at all, not like those ungrateful wretches, the farmer and the snake, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf..."

Su Ran eagerly approached, but before he could finish speaking, he was impatiently interrupted by the black tiger BOSS with a low growl, thick with warning.

It seems that being talkative isn’t welcomed anywhere. For some reason, Su Ran thought of Tang Monk.

"Cough, cough, I got a little excited and lost control there, no offense, no offense! Tiger brother, I have a favor to ask, may I borrow a whisker, please?"

Su Ran coughed, hiding his slight embarrassment, and then brought up the task. He wanted to make the most of their current good relations to quickly complete the mission, rather than ending up empty-handed if the black tiger turned hostile. This was not what he wanted to see happen.

"?"

The black tiger looked confused, not understanding what Su Ran was talking about. It extended its paw and pointed towards the carcasses in the distance, then at Su Ran, indicating for him to experience, to experience it thoroughly.

"Whiskers, I need whiskers." freeweɓnovel.cøm

With Su Ran’s intelligence, how could he not understand the black tiger’s intentions? With so many underlings around and so little food, there was just not enough to go around... However, this time he wouldn’t easily let the black tiger have its way. Without handing over the whiskers, no deal!

To make his point more visually clear, Su Ran picked up three tiger hairs from the ground, placed them at his own mouth as a makeshift beard, gestured, then left one hair, shaking it towards the black tiger to indicate what he needed was whiskers.

Yet.

The black tiger looked at Su Ran as if he were an idiot, gave him a deep look, then turned around to head back to the tiger group, casually pulled out five or six whiskers, and brought them back.

"Haha, Brother Tiger is impressive, instantly understood what I needed, thank you so much!"

Su Ran took out nearly fifty bodies from beneath him, all of them plump and well-fed. Even the sight of them stoked his appetite; if placed on a fire to roast and sprinkled with cumin, they would be fragrant, crispy, and absolutely delicious!

"Roar!"

The black tiger let out a low growl, as if to say thanks. After dropping the whiskers, it began to move the bodies.

Don’t let its current skinny appearance fool you – just skin and bones – but it was incredibly strong. Dragging three carcasses posed no difficulty for it. Many black tigers came to help, and before long, all the food had been taken back into the tiger group.

The fate of these carcasses was predictable; in no time, they were devoured down to the bones. Each black tiger showed a satisfied look. After so many years, they had finally gotten to eat meat again...

"Heh, got the whiskers, mission accomplished!"

With six whiskers in hand, Su Ran really felt like going back to Fire God City right away to show Old Man Fan – no need to buy his, still able to complete the task!

"Roar..."

The black tiger boss, at some point, returned to Su Ran’s side, squatting on the ground, its gaze filled with complexity.

"Eh? Brother Tiger, you got something else on your mind?"

It wasn’t until Su Ran snapped out of his reverie and spotted the black tiger close by that he got a bit of a scare. Luckily, the tiger bore no ill intentions; otherwise, he would have been in real danger!

The black tiger pointed at the rocky cave, then towards Su Ran, and stretched out a paw as if asking for something.

"You mean..."

Su Ran felt somewhat surprised, following the black tiger’s gaze towards the cave. It finally dawned on him – this fellow was after that mysterious plant!

Damn, isn’t that too greedy? After risking life and limb to obtain it, it just opens its mouth and expects to take it? Why should it have all the good luck!

Once it’s with me, not even the system would think about taking it back – impossible!!

"Here."

Su Ran pulled out the freshly obtained copper ore and said with a tone of resignation, "This is what I dug out from the cave. Since you need it, you can have it."

The black tiger remained unmoved, instead it started to draw on the ground with its claw. In no time, the image of a plant with particularly emphasized fruit appeared on the ground, before it erased the entire plant, leaving only one fruit, then pointed at itself.

Seeing this, Su Ran couldn’t be more clear, otherwise, he’d really be an idiot.

"Damn, if you weren’t a painter, it would be such a waste of talent..."
