Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2494 - 1896: Zhang Meng Coughs Up Blood (Double - ) (Part 2)
Let’s strip away this chief title first!
Without the chief title, Crane That Doesn’t Dance has nothing left to worry about. After this incident, Bloodsucker Venerable probably won’t trust him anymore, no matter how well he speaks!
"I... you... are ruthless!"
Crane That Doesn’t Dance could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, splattering the face of the opposite player.
Being so enraged to the point of spitting blood in-game, now that’s unprecedented.
Su Ran showed no mercy to this group, personally stepping in with various big moves in succession. Coupled with the teamwork of the Sky-reaching Vine, Ghost King Drought Fiend, Hag, and Mengsini, they quickly slaughtered the entire group, leaving no survivor among the players; even Crane That Doesn’t Dance couldn’t escape this calamity, but for him, this was a kind of relief.
Having killed off these players, Su Ran took out the Corpse Soul Pot and started the cleanup.
[Corpse Soul Pot]
Collect deceased souls, converting them into a magical crystal.
The crystals he previously accumulated were used to exchange for catapult blueprints, and now with resources available, why not, for he might get a chance to trade crystals for blueprints again later; a sure-fire trade that must leave some stock for!
Under Su Ran’s continual plundering, he amassed numerous crystals, and fortunately acquired two Lucky Crystals, an unexpected delight indeed.
Many players perished at Su Ran’s hands, forcibly stripped of a level’s experience, and even dropped several pieces of equipment. Su Ran didn’t miss out on any, stuffing them all into his hip bag.
"Undead."
After Su Ran had finished busying himself, the Demon Sovereign began calling from a distance.
"Coming, coming~!"
Su Ran hurried to the side of the Demon Sovereign, curiously asking, "Your Excellency, what’s the matter?"
In his eyes, being summoned by an NPC generally meant a quest, otherwise, the NPC wouldn’t bother chatting!
The main thing was, this territorial battle was greatly aided by the Demon Sovereign, repelling Bloodsucker Venerable and ensuring the territory’s safety. Even if given a quest with no reward by the Demon Sovereign, Su Ran would accept it.
"The task I assigned you, have you completed it?"
"What task... Oh, you mean the Magic Mirror shards, I’ve only obtained one shard, still without clues for the others."
Su Ran was initially stunned, then quickly realized what task the Demon Sovereign referred to. No wonder he forgot—it was nearly four years he lay unconscious. To recall anything was already fortunate, and he couldn’t expect too much.
"No clues yet?"
The Demon Sovereign furrowed his brows, "Haven’t seen you for years and thought you’d found shard leads, yet there’s no progress—it truly disappoints me!"
"Your Excellency, it’s unavoidable; the shards have no leads, and the God-Demon Continent is vast—one can’t rush this matter."
Su Ran laid bare the difficulties, letting the Demon Sovereign understand his struggles, while finding excuses to absolve himself.
"Hand over the shard."
"Ah?"
Su Ran was surprised but swiftly handed it over, "Just one shard can complete the task?"
"..."
The Demon Sovereign gave no reply, clasping the Magic Mirror shard in his hands, closing his eyes like a mystic, standing motionless, what was happening Su Ran had no idea.
After about three to five minutes, the Demon Sovereign finally opened his eyes.
"Another shard is at the Ancient Battlefield, and one more in the Dragon Domain."
The Demon Sovereign gazed into Su Ran’s eyes, "Your ghost palanquin is no ordinary treasure; in its complete form, it rivals a supreme artifact! Don’t let it be eclipsed."
"Your Excellency, even if the ghost palanquin had supreme qualities, it requires an Artifact Spirit; let me gather the Magic Mirror shards first before considering it."
Su Ran had long known the ghost palanquin’s value; an informed ghost had told him once, that in its pinnacle state, it would rival the Demon Tower of the God-Demon Continent, therefore destined to its supreme rank, eventually becoming his trump card!
"I believe you can do it. Your luck rises like the sun, having you in the Undead clan is a great fortune."
The Demon Sovereign held high expectations for Su Ran, greatly valuing the little skeleton before him.
"Hahaha, well said, little skeleton, you’ve immensely honored our Undead clan!"
Skeleton Saint King came forward, bearing a mighty coffin ruler, and laughed aloud, "Didn’t expect your territory to evolve to such scale—it’s indeed remarkable!"
"Lord Saint King, why not reside here? If the territory seems small, I’ll find ways to upgrade it, expand the area, and have Lu Yue build more dwellings—what do you think?"
Su Ran would love for Skeleton Saint King to stay, guarding the territory. With these masters around, Ghost King Sabi and Tongyu were restrained, unable to wield their power, riddled with frustration.
"No, the Dark Abyss is the true home of the Undead clan, conquered by the Ghost Clan, yet I will reclaim it someday!"
Skeleton Saint King’s eyes brimmed with unyielding fighting spirit, drove the coffin ruler fiercely into the ground, expressing inner indignation and dissatisfaction.
"Skeleton Saint King, dare say your words when even your territory has been seized—how disgraceful! The face of the Undead clan has been thoroughly tarnished by you!"
The Demon Sovereign didn’t indulge Skeleton Saint King’s temper, exposing it right there.
"Uh..."
Skeleton Saint King was left speechless, unable to refute, only grumblingly wavering the coffin ruler and turning away, followed closely by his skeleton soldiers, leaving the place.
"Your Excellency, doing so might wound Skeleton Saint King’s pride..."
Su Ran couldn’t bear watching, as Skeleton Saint King was the leader of his clan. Demeaning Skeleton Saint King was akin to demeaning him.
"Don’t mention it, spoils the mood. Undead, let me ask you,"
The Demon Sovereign directed at Su Ran, "Why did the Supreme Ghost Map choose you as its master?"
"Chose me as master?"
Su Ran’s expression turned peculiar; he didn’t know how to explain. Only he knew it wasn’t the map recognizing him as master, but rather forcibly taken by him. If displayed now, betrayal was inevitable.
"Maybe because I’m pretty lucky."
Su Ran fumbled for an excuse, considered the matter settled.
"What do you plan to do with the Supreme Ghost Map?"
This concerns ownership of supreme treasure; it couldn’t be trifled with!
"Your Excellency, obviously that’s exclusive to the Ghost Clan; though linked to it, I can’t wield it,"
As Su Ran said this, he glimpsed at the Demon Sovereign, intending to tell that if he couldn’t use the map, neither could the sovereign—none should mock. Steadying himself, he spoke seriously, "In the territory there’s only the female Ghost King Drought Fiend; I plan for her to use it."
"Aren’t you afraid she’ll betray you with the Supreme Ghost Map?"
"What’s there to fear!"
Su Ran waved nonchalantly; in this territory he least feared Ghost King Drought Fiend, for the favor level was maxed out, even if Bloodsucker Venerable came personally, couldn’t possibly win her back.
That’s how it goes—it might be a charming brother.
"Since you’re so confident, I won’t say more, mouse tail juice."
Seeing is set, the Demon Sovereign didn’t press further, turning to leave.
"Overturning Water, Overturning Water!"
Xue Wuqing and Qing Qi jogged up to Su Ran, excitedly saying, "The sovereign’s power is so overwhelming, driving even the Ghost Venerable out of the territory—thanks to it, we won the territorial battle!"
"Yes, indeed, without it, things were really hanging in the balance."
Recalling the scene during the territorial contest, Su Ran shivered—had he awoken later, the territory would have been really endangered.
Thankfully, time flows forward, not rewriting history.
"By the way, where’s Banana?"
Not spotting Banana, Su Ran opened the territory list, and Banana’s name was prominent, not betraying the territory, making him curious.
"He’s still in the ghost world doing a mission, hasn’t returned yet."
"What? That mission has taken four years?"
Even witness Su Ran felt stunned; never expected Banana’s patience for a single task spanning such length without quitting—he’s impressed.
