168: Chapter 168: Battle in the Desert of Death 168: Chapter 168: Battle in the Desert of Death “I understand, but this journey is too dangerous. The Demon Tower has already been controlled by the Human Race of the Celestial Realm. Coming here this time was only luck, going next time could mean certain death!” Su Ran looked troubled. He was well aware that the Tiger Supreme guild was waiting for him to walk right into their trap! “Little skeleton, I clearly understand your little schemes. But listen, if you help me leave this place, I will teach you a single-target attack skill!” “I will surely do my best!” Su Ran agreed on the spot, immediately accepting the mission. “Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for receiving a special mission – rescue the Skeleton Saint King. The mission has no time limit; mission reward: Bone Technique Mentorship.” After saying farewell to the lonely Skeleton Saint King in front of him, Su Ran used a homebound scroll and directly returned to his own territory, Skeleton Village. “Phew, Su Ran is back again!” Su Ran plopped down on the ground. This trip to the seventh floor of the Demon Tower was too mentally exhausting. All he wanted to do now was to lie on the ground and rest. “Hey, Great White Shark, are you still stuck in the ice?” Accidentally, Su Ran noticed a massive lump of ice not far from his eyes. It aroused his interest and he got up to walk towards the carcass of the Great White Shark. “Tap, tap, tap!” Striking the icy cold cube, Su Ran felt like it was the ninth day of the lunar new year. He looked at the shark that resembled a statue and began to feel a strong sense of sympathy. “Tired from standing so long? Come and rest with the ice lolly?” Right, the Magic Weapon Coffin Ruler! Distracted by the Great White Shark, he almost forgot his original intention. Su Ran once again sat on the ground, shifting his gaze into his own bladder. “What?! This works?!” Su Ran was surprised to find that the ‘Cursed Gilded Cold Clothing’ he obtained from the Pure Gold Secret Coffin had unexpectedly flown up and neatly settled onto the Coffin Ruler. The green light flashed as the Cold Clothing turned into a stream of water, flowing around the Coffin Ruler. The golden-green light interplayed, with signs of fusion apparent. The Coffin Ruler was suspended in the bladder, unmoved as it allowed for the Cold Clothing to envelop it. The power radiating from its body was even stronger now. It truly was a trio! Coffin, talisman, Cold Clothing! Could it be, was this magic weapon attracted into his own bladder by the Gilded Cold Clothing?! What good luck! Su Ran grinned, letting the Coffin Ruler evolve on its own while ignoring it. He instead took out a Random Teleportation Scroll of his own, Instantly moving out. His destination, the Desert of Death! After a lengthy time, in the midst of a whirling sand storm, a player clad in black appeared. “This is ridiculous. What the hell is this Random Teleportation Scroll. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I only reached the Desert of Death after I used them all up. My sense of direction is horrible, isn’t it?” Su Ran grumbled. Suddenly, a fierce wind stirred up, and the sand in the sky pelted against the mask worn by Su Ran. Thank goodness for the mask, I almost had a mouthful of grit. Su Ran glanced at his current coordinates, and found that he was at the northernmost point of the Desert of Death. He was still a good distance away from his destination, the Illusion Spirit Realm. No choice, I’ll have to travel on foot! Just as Su Ran had taken a few steps, suddenly, the sand surface sunk, and a Desert Bone Scorpion shot out from the desert. Emitting a dangerous aura from its bone hook, it rushed straight towards Su Ran. [Desert Bone Scorpion] LV30 Qi Blood: 1500 Attack: 183-192 Defense: 82 Agility: 6 Active Skills: Poison Hook – hooks coated with poison, attacks target, boosts attack by 20%, with a 30% chance of paralyzing for 3 seconds. Passive Skills: Speed – when in specific desert terrain, agility +2. Oh, an old friend. Keeping his footing steady, Su Ran made a gesture with one hand. His clone, a Lava Bone Wolf, pounced towards the Desert Bone Scorpion. “Bang!” “-186” The Desert Bone Scorpion struck first; its Poison Hook pierced into the Lava Bone Wolf protecting Su Ran. The wolf howled in pain, fortunately, it wasn’t paralyzed. Shaking off the bone hook, it leapt onto the scorpion, opened its jaws wide with a Blood Attack skill instantly activated. Its sharp teeth were covered with a thin layer of blood-red film. Ruthlessly, it bit the Scorpion’s skeletal frame! “Crack!” “-107” Well, the Lava Bone Wolf with its Blood Attack skill could inflict over a hundred damage on monsters of level 30. Not too shabby! While he was thinking, Su Ran was quick to act. Without even transforming the Illusion Demon Stone Sword, he flung a premium paper charm at the Desert Bone Scorpion. “Bang!” “-213” The damage produced by the paper attack was as sharp as ever, inflicting 213 damage on the Scorpion despite its high defense of 82! In pain, the Desert Bone Scorpion hissed and crouched before abruptly launching itself like a runaway truck and sent the Lava Bone Wolf flying! Thud! The Lava Bone Wolf fell into the desert, stirring up clouds of dust. After a successful attack, the Desert Bone Scorpion continued its charge without losing momentum, targeting the robed mage in front of it. In its mind, the Human Race was just a fragile species, incapable of withstanding its devastating blow! However, Su Ran was not the type to sit and wait for death. He threw the paper charm towards the Desert Bone Scorpion. The paper ignited in mid-air and burnt even more fiercely due to the wind, its enhanced power hurtling towards the Scorpion. The wind fuels the fire! At the same time, Su Ran quickly retreated, intending to regroup with the Lava Bone Wolf and jointly attack the Scorpion of brute force. Unfortunately, luck was against them. As the Lava Bone Wolf fell to the ground, the desert collapsed inward again, and two more Desert Bone Scorpions burst out from the sand, attacking the Bone Wolf that had drawn their aggro. Oh damn! The sudden turn of events caused Su Ran to freeze for a moment. He calmly directed the Lava Bone Wolf to charge towards him while transforming his Illusion Demon Robe into a Stone Sword held in his hand, exposing his skeletal form. As three Desert Bone Scorpions surrounded him, Su Ran remained calm, waiting until the Scorpions were about to encircle him before he raised his arm high. A small purple fire appeared above his claw, holding tight, he hurled it at the ground. Instantly, he and the Bone Wolf bolted away! Boom! As Su Ran hurled the Purple Fire into the desert, a sturdy column of fire shot up as if a fire dragon was blazing on the desert, wrapping the three incoming Desert Bone Scorpions in the purple flame. At this point, sand and wind were raging, and the high volumes of sediment obscured Su Ran’s view. What a powerful skill, the Netherworld Purple Fire! Excited, Su Ran thought, finally, he could use his magical attack skills! Unable to bear the Netherworld Purple Fire burning its skeletal frame, the Desert Bone Scorpions scrambled to escape from the terrifying heat of the purple flame, aiming to chase after that annoying little skeleton! Armed with an Illusion Demon Stone Sword, Su Ran and the Bone Wolf launched a guerrilla warfare tactic, circling around the Netherworld Purple Fire, and persistently attacking the Desert Bone Scorpions. Eventually, with Su Ran’s relentless efforts, the three Desert Bone Scorpions were successfully killed, collecting three gusts of death energy, which were entirely absorbed by the pet egg inside Su Ran.
