157: Chapter 157: Return to the Territory 157: Chapter 157: Return to the Territory Hoisting the newbie’s hoe, Su Ran skipped merrily to the tomb, ready to continue his grave digging spree. “Clang!” “Clang!” “Ding! Congratulations player Skeleton on obtaining the special item – Infinite Money!” “Ding! Congratulations player Skeleton on obtaining the special item – Corpse Hiding Map!” “Ding! Congratulations player Skeleton on obtaining the mission item – Broken weapon.” Infinite Money! It was only now that Su Ran realized the value of this item. With Infinite Money, he could extract a bone skill once! Su Ran thought, this should enable him to gain an offensive bone skill, right? Suddenly, Su Ran’s breath hitched, he was dumbfounded to find that he had dug up yet another Corpse Hiding Map! [Corpse Hiding Map](Special) It will guide you to find a feng shui treasure land, where a long-buried corpse is hidden. You will receive the coordinates tips after using it. Note: In plain words, it lets you tomb raid. This Corpse Hiding Map, Su Ran had dug up twice, each time, he had garnered an enormous opportunity! A five-clawed golden dragon’s corpse, a blazing red King Snake! Weren’t each of these regarded as great existences in the ancient times? With due solemnity, Su Ran placed the Corpse Hiding Map and Infinite Money into his gallbladder, then he held the mission item in his hand. “What’s this?” The broken weapon was cold in his hand, incredibly dull and extremely damaged on the outside with only a slight sharp edge remaining, making it difficult for Su Ran to guess the type of weapon it was. [Broken Weapon](Mission Item) Go to Demonic Treasure Mountain to find the cause of the weapon’s breakage. Demonic Treasure Mountain? Where was this terrain located? Su Ran scratched his puzzled skull, then placed it into his Storage Box. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Huh?” Occupied with the mission item, Su Ran just noticed that the tomb before his eyes had been completely excavated by him, revealing a coffin. A rotten smell wafted out from the coffin, making one nauseous upon smelling it. “What kind of coffin is this?” Su Ran wonderingly asked aloud. This coffin was golden, with dark gold metal inlaid around its octagonal edges and scattered gems adding to its splendor, even more, highlighting the uniqueness of the coffin. Su Ran thought that the person buried within must have been wealthy and prestigious. [Pure Gold Secret Coffin] Something seems to be hidden inside. Note: Be careful when opening the coffin, life and death are dictated by fate. Having been through several dangerous situations, Su Ran did not dare to recklessly open this opulent coffin. He could only collect it into his gallbladder, and wait to open this precious coffin when he returned to his territory. The greedy Su Ran immediately decided to head straight for the fifth floor of the Demon Tower! Soon after, the Illusion Demon Stone Sword in Su Ran’s hand transformed into an Illusion Demon robe, draped over his body. At the same time, his Human Race identity was also restored. After hiding all his information well, Su Ran dived headlong into the teleportation array leading to the fifth floor of the Demon Tower. Upon entering the new terrain, Su Ran carefully looked around and found that not even a single monster had respawned; the whole ground appeared vast and empty. Following that, he was surprised to discover a tomb floating directly above this floor of space! “What?!” This tomb was flying? Su Ran was speechless for a moment. His newbie’s hoe was not long enough ah, what to do about this situation? Only those with flying pets could hover in the air for a considerable period of time to dig graves. Su Ran seriously thought, could he ride the Pet Egg in his gallbladder, fly to the sky, and dig up treasure? Cough cough, Su Ran was well aware of his own weaknesses. A single slip could spell disaster… Just then, a message came in from a friend. Su Ran opened it to find it was from his vice guild leader, Playboy. “Overturning Water, we see you’re online. We’re waiting for you on the third floor of the Demon Tower!” “I’ll be there in a bit. I have a time-limited mission to complete,” replied Su Ran. He knew that Playboy would probably begin pressing him for answers. However, he had already planned for such an event. Unperturbed, he replied promptly. “All right. Come when you finish your stuff. The plot this time is quite long, so come and we’ll talk.” … Eyeing the floating tomb overhead with envy, Su Ran pulled out a return scroll from his Storage Box and promptly used it, teleporting straight back to the city. “I knew it was here!” Sniffing the familiar scent, Su Ran exclaimed joyfully. At that moment, Su Ran realized he had been transported to his own territory, Skeleton Village. “There’s truly no place like your own territory,” Satisfied with the fresh air of his own domain, he felt thoroughly refreshed. “However, I still have to visit the Human Race’s Imperial City!” Not only was it imperative for him to bring the old beggar back to his territory, but Su Ran was also dead set on challenging the Rebirth Gate. He had an inkling that the gate would reappear any day now! Not wanting to hurry to the Demon Tower, Su Ran headed straight to the house of the crooked shopkeeper, Yin Si. “Knock, knock, knock!” This time, Su Ran needed a favor, so he politely knocked on the door. After waiting several minutes, there wasn’t even a fart from inside the house. Running out of patience, Su Ran kicked open the door and strode into the house. Right by the entrance, a coffin was conspicuously placed. Su Ran went straight to the point, squatted down and knocked on the coffin lid. “Knock, knock, knock!” After waiting quietly for a while, Su Ran realized with frustration that Yin Si must’ve slept like a log again. With little time to spare, Su Ran seized the coffin lid and forcefully lifted it. “Bang!” The coffin lid was sent flying by Su Ran. Looking inside, he was taken aback. How was it an empty coffin?! “That damnable Yin Si, where has he run off to now? Could he have gone to flirt with the village beauty, Drought Fiend?” The thought sent chills down Su Ran’s spine. Suddenly. “What did you say about me?” A cold gust of wind blew towards the back of Su Ran’s head. Thankfully, his black cloak shielded him from being struck. “The youngster was speaking respectfully of Sir Yin Si, worn out from his journey. Quite exhausted indeed.” Feeling awkward, Su Ran quickly changed the topic as he had just been caught badmouthing Yin Si. “I have a request and I hope Sir Yin Si would be able to guide me.” “Oh?” Despite the hint of offense in Su Ran’s words, Yin Si was still taken aback. Curiosity was piqued as he knew that Su Ran, who seemed to have never-ending luck, must’ve acquired some rare treasure to come seeking his advice. “Just a moment.” Yin Si darted back into his house, picked up his coffin lid, put it back in its place and sat down on top of it. “Sit. It’s against my policy as a host to keep guests standing!” Yin Si pointed to the place beside him. “I’m afraid there are no tables or chairs here. Skeleton Village’s noble leader, please take a seat here!”. “No, thank you.” Su Ran quickly shook his head. He was joking. If he were to sit on a coffin, he risked having boils erupting on his backside. “Sir Yin Si, I’m fine standing here. There’s no need for formalities. Please don’t be overly concerned.” “Very well,” Yin Si nodded absentmindedly, casting a glance at Su Ran’s Storage Box. “Step forward.” Confused, Su Ran still moved towards him, standing next to Yin Si. Suddenly. Yin Si reached out, grabbing Su Ran’s black cloak, attempting to lift it. “It’s just the two of us in the house. It’s hot inside, take off your coat first!”
