122: Chapter 122: Great Talent 122: Chapter 122: Great Talent Hearing these words, the old beggar shuddered as if electrified, carefully lowering the child beggar to the ground and clambering frantically towards Su Ran, muttering incessantly, “Benefactor, save me, save me! This old man bows to you!” Su Ran squatted in front of the young beggar, tearing open his tattered clothing, revealing the boy’s chest which looked like a dried corpse. “What a vicious technique!” Su Ran took a deep, cold breath. Under the effect of holy healing, the child beggar’s heart seemed as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, eroding it into a miserable sight. His body was cold, and lifeless. Logically, this child should be dead, but his caved-in chest was weakly throbbing. Although the movement was small, it was clear. It was like a candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment. One had to admit, such a robust demon heart! “There’s hope!” Su Ran spoke gravely to the child, “Little brother, since you resent the human race, let’s fulfill your wish, and not be human anymore!” Su Ran forcefully stuffed an object from his bladder- the task item Dark Breath, gutsily into the child beggar’s chest! Time itself seemed to freeze in that moment. Even the old beggar’s face froze, forgetting to breathe, his murky eyes fixated on his pitiful child. Suddenly, A strong whirlwind of darkness erupted from the child’s chest, wrapping around him, seemingly shielding the child’s safety. “Thump, thump!” The caved-in chest of the child beggar slowly began to pulsate, the heartbeat grew from weak to strong. The Dark Breath, like a gentle rain, irrigated the shriveled, parched demon heart. “Child, good child, wake up, daddy’s here, no one will bully you anymore!” The old beggar saw a glimmer of hope, his old face twisted with obvious elation. He quickly crawled to the child’s side, softly whispering in his ear. Just then, the demon heart beat vigorously, and a black liquid dispersed through his veins, circulating throughout the child beggar’s body. His body began to darken, even his dried-up hair turned a shiny black, upright on his head like steel needles. The old beggar seemed oblivious, continuously murmuring into the child’s ear, trying to awaken a sleeping child. Suddenly, The black airflow swirling around the child beggar started spinning wildly, eventually turning into a black pillar, violently charging into the demon heart and disappeared. Right after, the child beggar’s eyes sprung open, his pupils roiling with Dark Breath, staring right at Su Ran. “Ding! Congratulations, Player Skeleton has won the loyalty of NPC child beggar. Do you wish to recruit him as your follower? Be advised, refusal may have irreversible consequences.” Su Ran did not hesitate and directly agreed. He knew that the irreversible consequence could likely be the deletion of the NPC child beggar’s data. At the moment Su Ran agreed, the child beggar’s eyes shut tight once again, and he collapsed, unconscious. “Ding! As Player Skeleton’s follower, child beggar is near death and has been put into system protection status.” Phew, the system god has acted, the child beggar’s life was saved! “Benefactor, benefactor, what happened to the boy?” Seeing the child’s earlier signs of recovery, the old beggar asked anxiously. “Sir, the boy’s life is saved!” Su Ran said, happiness apparent on his face as he patiently explained to the old beggar. “So you’re saying, my son isn’t dead, he’s just unconscious?” The old beggar’s muddy eyes lit up, his breath grew rapid. Su Ran knew, that light was hope. After calming the old beggar’s emotions, Su Ran paused then said: “Sir, due to special circumstances, the boy has become my follower. Please rest assured, I treat him as my brother. I truly hope he can wake up soon, so that you two can reunite.” “Benefactor, you have no need to blame yourself. In his life, it was Dog Egg’s… spit… his previous honor to serve you. But, how could we revive this boy?” The old beggar’s face was fraught with worry. He knew this certainly wouldn’t be an easy matter. “In my domain, there’s a fellow known as the Black Market Skeleton Merchant. He’s knowledgeable and talented, surely he would know how to restore Dog Egg,” Su Ran confirmed confidently. However, he knew, the cost would not be insignificant. Suddenly. The old beggar started shaking all over. “Domain… domain… ” The old beggar muttered, as if under a spell. Then, the old beggar’s eyes narrowed, he straightened his back, and an aura of a grandmaster exuded from his ragged appearance. “Human Race? This old man doesn’t care!” “Ding! Architectural Grandmaster Lu Yue wishes to join the Lord Skeleton. Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Do you agree?” Architectural Grandmaster? Lu Yue? “Old sir, why have you decided this?” Su Ran, although startled, asked carefully. A grandmaster’s skill was a national treasure! If Su Ran agreed, the old beggar would lose his human race identity. The crime of betraying one’s race was punishable without mercy! “My lord, this old horse still has the will to run long distances. Although I’m already in old age and decrepit, I’m confident that I can still be of use after coming out from the mountains again,” the old beggar asserted with a firm gaze. “My lord’s great kindness can only be repaid with my service!” “This isn’t urgent. After we leave the Imperial City, it isn’t too late to show allegiance!” Su Ran did not want to lose such a talent. His domain urgently needed construction. This was very good! “My lord, I know of a secret path that leads directly to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts!” the old beggar quietly said. “The sewers, secret room!” “Is it not the place where the King Snake was sealed?” Su Ran was greatly surprised. “It was indeed the work of our ancestors. How did my lord know?” the old beggar asked, puzzled. “I happened to enter once, luckily escaped with my life, and obtained the entire carcass of the King Snake,” Su Ran truthfully responded. “What?! The carcass of the ancient Rare Beast, the King Snake, is in your hands?” The old beggar was immensely shocked. “Indeed.” “Great luck, my lord, great luck!” the old beggar sighed incessantly. “This thing, it’s greatly useful!” “What do you mean by this?” Su Ran asked in surprise. With an old person at home, it’s like having a treasure. Indeed! “My lord will know in the future.” The old beggar closed his mouth about the matter, hinting at a great secret. “Old sir, please pack up the things you need to take away. I will accompany the old sir back to the domain and find the method to restore Dog Egg,” Su Ran implored the old beggar urgently. “My lord, don’t rush.” The old beggar had lost his urgency once he heard that Dog Egg was no longer in danger. “The secret passage is incomplete, this old man needs to gather some materials and make some arrangements. There’s an ancestral relic in there, it must be retrieved.” Su Ran placed the small beggar into the advanced coffin, kept it in his bladder, and reassured, “Old sir, don’t worry about Dog Egg’s condition. I promise you, Dog Egg’s life is not in danger!” “Great favor from my lord, this old man will never forget. For now, good-bye. Ten days limit, we will meet again at the secret room!” The old beggar was full of gratitude, he turned around and quickly left the place. Fate is unpredictable! A grandmaster like this had such a turn of events, it sighed with regret.
