38: Chapter 38: The Suture of the Skull 38: Chapter 38: The Suture of the Skull The fire toads were on the lookout, and as soon as these mosquito corpses unleashed their deadly technique ‘Poison Needle’, they all shot towards the airborne mosquitoes. The swarm of mosquitoes just lost their deadly weapon, the poison needle, and their skills were still cooling down. When the fire toads rushed to attack them in the air during this time, they instantly became disoriented. It was evident from the fluttering frequency of their wings, that they were chaotic and frantic. Only the golden mosquito kept its cool, buzzing up and down as if giving instructions. Unfortunately, before it could finish giving its commands, a long tongue flaring with golden fire gobbled it up. Instantly, the swarm of mosquitoes went mad, all of them suicidal like, smashed into these damn fire toads. The fire toads were hit back into the marsh one after another, splattering quite a lot of sludge. The Swamp Fire Toad Boss wasn’t exempt, it fell heavily into the swamp, splashing mud everywhere. With the golden mosquito corpse now free, it quickly ascended towards the sky. At that moment. “Bang!” “-173” The attacker was a skeleton, one claw bearing a Bone Nail, the other fiddling half a stack of burning paper, its hands waved incessantly. The lewd movements of the skeleton made it clear: the skeleton meant – if you dare, come on, hit me! The deep hatred made the golden mosquito go completely insane. It gathered the residual mosquito corpses to form a massive arrow, shooting directly towards Su Ran! At this point, Su Ran didn’t dodge. Even though he was terrified, he believed the Swamp Fire toads wouldn’t let him die. So, he just stood there stupidly, becoming a massive bone target, watching the arrow getting closer to him. As expected. The swamp started to boil violently again, tongues of fire shot up to the sky, sweeping back the mosquitoes and drowning them in the deadly swamp. Only the golden mosquito, the lone commander, was left. Multiple tongues of fire twisted it tight, dragging it back down into the swamp. The golden fire toad Boss didn’t allow the golden mosquito corpse any time to struggle, swallowing it in a single gulp. Before long, it emitted a brilliant golden glow, illuminating even the entire Dark Swamp with a golden light that lingered for a long time. Nibbling away, Su Ran started to pull at the roots that were tying him, quietly making his way to the shore. Having narrowly escaped death, he breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a wave of dismay. “You stinking toad, you ate the Mosquito Corpse Boss. What am I supposed to submit for the task? What about my Mission object?” Thought Su Ran in resentment. As he turned his head, he found to his pleasant surprise, a rather large grave had appeared where the mosquitoes had previously settled. Seeing a tomb and not being able to take a step forward? How could he leave it behind? Encounter a grave, must dig! “Clang!” “Clang!” As Su Ran dug, his spirits lifted and he even began to hum a little tune. Before long. “Ding! Congratulations to Player Skeleton for getting the material—Pair of Wings.” “Ding! Congratulations to Player Skeleton for obtaining a ‘Bone Marrow’!” Bone marrow? Haha, bone marrow again! [Bone Marrow] (Strengthening Material) Used by low-level Undead to enhance itself. Note: Want a low-level Undead to strengthen itself? Cannot do without it! My precious! Su Ran quickly put it into his mouth and started to chew. Before long, he noticed that the skeletal frame emanated a dull black glow again. However, this glow was much fainter than before, and after a flash, it disappeared into the entire skeleton. Huh? Why didn’t my own strength advance? Could it be, as the strength increased, the number of bone marrows required also increased? Whatever, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it! Su Ran was full of energy, clutching the novice hoe, he continued to dig the grave. “Clang!” “Clang!” Grave digging sounds consecutively echoed throughout the Dark Swamp. Soon enough. The lovely sound of the system came again, like a piece of good news. “Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for acquiring the material—Poisonous Nail.” “Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for acquiring the quest item—Three Bone Flowers.” Nice, the quest item was in hand! Su Ran hurriedly took out that legendary Bone Flower, curious how the housekeeper Liu’s darling looked like. The flower had slender bone stems like branches, thin bone joints like leaves, and femur heads that split and unfolded like the vibrant petals of a blooming flower, perfectly demonstrating the flexibility of bones. What a peculiar Bone Flower! Su Ran gave a satisfied nod, and was about to head back to his territory when he noticed a small bumpy mound remaining at his feet. He couldn’t miss that last shovel, could his obsessive-compulsive self ever let that mound be? Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With a casual dig, Su Ran suddenly froze. “Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for acquiring a special item—Forehead Bone Seam!” What was this? Su Ran fumbled to retrieve the Forehead Bone Seam. [Forehead Bone Seam] (Special Item) It seemed to record something inside. Note: Using it might cause a splitting headache, use with caution. Ouch, a valuable item indeed! Su Ran quickly placed it into his mouth and chewed vigorously. The small skeleton chewed for a while, then spat it out. The Forehead Bone Seam was undamaged. Was he using it the wrong way? Forehead Bone Seam? Forehead…head! The thing was supposed to be placed on his own skull, wasn’t it? Su Ran carefully placed it into the seam on his skull. Next, a rainbow light emerged from the top of his skull, got absorbed, and then disappeared into his brainpan. “Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for comprehending Bone Skill—Physical Fitness Technique!” Physical Fitness Technique: Enhances your own Qi Blood, increases health by 20%. Why not give me an offensive bone skill? Am I supposed to be happy holding a piece of worn-out paper all day? Well, it didn’t matter, he didn’t have much blood initially anyway, having a bit more was still nice. Su Ran nonchalantly shook his head and checked his attribute column. Uh, he had 240 blood points, okay, that’s only 40 more. He would still get killed in one hit, how miserable! Su Ran retrieved his equipment and leisurely made his way back to his territory. “My lord, you’ve returned! This old servant has been waiting for a long time!” Housekeeper Liu ran to the entrance of the territory as soon as he saw Skeleton Lord Su Ran return, and eagerly eyed Su Ran’s bladder. My goodness, it’s only been about an hour at most since he left, and this old man claims he’s been waiting a long time? “The usual deal, one Storage Box.” Su Ran didn’t fall for his act. “My lord, there were only two of these treasures, I don’t have any more left!” Housekeeper Liu looked disheartened. “Oh, really~~~” Su Ran’s voice suddenly rose by an octave, “Little stone, Little Liu, where are you? Your lord brother is here! I brought you a fun item~ This time it’s a bigger box!” “Shh! My lord, my mistake! I do have one more Storage Box. I’ll present it to you right away.” Housekeeper Liu hurriedly tried to quiet Skeleton Lord Su Ran and tremblingly handed over the Storage Box.
