169: Chapter 169: Big Blood Bull 169: Chapter 169: Big Blood Bull After digging up the sandy mounds formed by the slain Desert Bone Scorpions, Su Ran gained numerous materials. He then donned his Illusion Demon robes and continued his journey toward the mysterious portal leading to the Illusion Spirit Realm. Su Ran clearly remembered the moment when Jiu Kong of the Earthly List had slain the boss and shattered the enormous stone tablet, revealing this enigmatic portal. In no time, Su Ran reached the central region of the Desert of Death by foot. Here, sand dunes were scattered everywhere, but the sandstorms had lessened considerably. “Hey, big boy, could you lend me a hand?” A feeble voice sounded, laced with a hint of pleading. Surprised, Su Ran wondered if there was a hidden player in the vicinity. He cautiously surveyed his surroundings but found no sign of anyone else. “Cough, I’m not far from you, to your left. Yes, that’s right.” When it became apparent Su Ran was struggling to locate the source of the voice, its volume increased slightly. However, the effort led to a fit of uncontrollable coughing from the weak player. Following the voice, Su Ran finally spotted a human head burrowed in the sand, speaking to him. “A ghost!!” Su Ran was taken aback. A living human head protruding from the ground?! “Sorry I startled you, big boy,” the human head said weakly, looking at Su Ran, “Do you have any Healing Potion that can restore health? I’m on my last legs…” Upon seeing this, Su Ran finally understood the situation; it seemed the player was trapped in quicksand. Fortunately, the player hadn’t died, but stuck in such a miserable state and unable to move at all. Judging by the player’s cracked lips, it appeared he had been trapped for quite some time. Su Ran marveled at how pitiful he was. Su Ran hastened over and closely observed the player. Sand had thoroughly covered his face and all that was visible were vague features; eyes, nose, mouth, and the fact that he was male. “Health restorative potion?” Su Ran brightened up at the mention. “I’ve got plenty! Just a warning, it’s a bit strong and acid. Tingly too! Want to give it a try?” “I’ll take anything at this point…I’m running out of time…” The weakened head sounded desperate, almost on the brink of dying. Seeing Su Ran hesitate, the head tried to continue speaking but consumed a mouthful of sand during another bout of coughing. “Remember, this was your idea.” Without hesitation, Su Ran retrieved a pile of small green herbs from his pouch and stuffed them into the player’s mouth. The sight of the luscious green grass brought a glimmer of joy to the trapped player’s eyes. To muster enough strength in this harsh environment, even chewing on a bit of juicy grass was luxuriously nourishing! However, after chewing once, the player’s face contorted as if he had swallowed a bitter melon. His face turned green, and he looked ready to throw up any moment. But he had no choice. To survive, the player had to swallow these herbs restricted in front of graves and filled his stomach to stay alive. After some significant effort, Su Ran finally pulled the trapped player out of the sand, grimacing at his reddened face and thick neck. What a sin! “Thank goodness for those medicinal herbs you gave me. They replenished a good amount of my Qi Blood, keeping me alive. On another note, what kind of grass is that? It definitely restored my Qi Blood, but it tasted so….weird! It was oily, plastered, tasted like grease, err…it actually makes me feel sick…” The unfortunate player rested for a moment, wiping the sand off his face with a look of discomfort. “Cough cough, Grease?” Su Ran felt a bit guilty for causing the other such trouble. He vaguely replied, “Who cares what kind of grass it is, as long as it works.” “Listen, buddy, could you help me with a quest? I got trapped in a quicksand whirlpool earlier and all my teammates died. I’m the only one left. Fortunately, I had a decent amount of health and managed to survive.” The player turned pale at the mere mention of the quicksand whirlpool. “Good health?” Su Ran blinked in surprise, then noticing the player’s armor, asked incredulously, “Are you a Warrior?” “Yes…I made a mistake in picking a job when I started playing!” The Warrior sighed, “And don’t try to persuade me into starting over, bro. I’m as stubborn as a bull and determined to stick to the path I’ve chosen. The Warrior class must exist for a reason!” Su Ran said nothing, realizing he was dealing with a true die-hard gamer. If Su Ran was in the same situation, he would have restarted long ago! As he continued to play, however, he felt a slight sense of relief. Becoming a skeleton didn’t seem so tragic anymore. “Oh, by the way, bro, what’s your name?” The sand-filled Warrior smiled. “Look at me, all I’ve been doing is complaining and I’ve forgotten to introduce myself. I’m Big Blood Bull, a Warrior, Level 32, and I don’t belong to any guild.” “I go by Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, a fire mage. Nice to meet you,” Su Ran shook the Warrior’s hand, “You are quite the rare breed. I’ve been playing for quite some time, and I’ve never come across any others.” “Don’t remind me, just thinking about it depresses me!” Big Blood Bull mumbled as he unsheathed a bloody broadsword, “Overturning Water, you’re alone in the Desert of Death, why?” “I’m on a quest. However, it’s a solo one.” “What level are you?” Big Blood Bull asked, full of hope and looking at Su Ran. “Uh, Level 35.” Su Ran wasn’t entirely truthful. This was after all a Level 30 map, so it wouldn’t seem too strange. “Mind if I tag along to slay a boss? It’s a simple one, a Level 30 Blood Ant. I just need the quest item. You can keep the rest, regardless of what it drops!” Big Blood Bull disclosed information about the boss in exchange for completing the quest. A Level 30 Blood Ant Boss? After some consideration, Su Ran agreed. Not for anything else, but the man before him was a contrastingly candid character! Seeing Su Ran agree, Big Blood Bull was ecstatic. He added Su Ran as a friend, requested to join his team, and told him, “There’s a cave not too far ahead of us. We have to defeat two soldier ants guarding the entrance to reach the underground space.” “Okay, lead the way.” Su Ran knew it wouldn’t be as simple as just killing a single boss. There would definitely be monsters blocking their path that needed to be taken care of. “Um, bro, do you have any more of that healing herb?” Big Blood Bull asked shyly, “I used up all my Healing Potion earlier…” Going to kill a boss without potions? Su Ran couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the player, “They’re 20 silver a piece at the market. If you’re interested, I can give you a 20% discount.” “Why are they so expensive?” Big Blood Bull gasped, “Bro, you can’t be trying to rip me off?” “They can be used during a battle.” Su Ran merely said, giving the player a sidelong glance. “Take it or leave it, I won’t force you.” “What? They can be used during battle? Bro, I’ll take them. And about the discount…you better keep your word!” “Sure, how many do you want?” “I’ll take as many as you have!” Su Ran took out all the herbs from his pouch, piling them into a small mountain.
