57: Chapter 57: Protecting the King Beast 57: Chapter 57: Protecting the King Beast The academy was in chaos, with books from entire rows of shelves haphazardly strewn around, littering the floor. The whole place looked like a dog’s kennel or a scene of catastrophe, with the newly created librarian still bustling about. Su Ran treaded cautiously on the open floor, not daring to touch the ancient texts scattered about – who would he turn to if any of these were damaged? He approached the busy librarian. Like Su Ran, the librarian too, was a skeleton adorned with reading glasses on its skull, lending it an air of erudition. “Hello, I’m here to buy bone techniques.” S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Pick for yourself.” The librarian neither lifted its head nor ceased its work, merely gesturing to a trade panel that appeared. Unknown Book: ????? “Why can’t I see the category of the books, and only see ‘Unknown Book’?” Su Ran asked in confusion. What did ‘Unknown Book’ represent? Could he also end up buying books belonging to other species? “The place is a mess. Do we look like we have time to categorize and label everything! The category of the books!” the librarian glanced at Su Ran, then went back to its work, adding, “The skill books here are all randomly chosen. Take it or leave it. Oh and each extraction requires an Infinite Money.” Infinite Money! A thunderbolt seemed to flash through the little skeleton’s mind. He had previously used Infinite Money to buy a beginner’s hoe! “Uh, can I use ten Underworld Coins instead? After all, one unit of Infinite Money is equivalent to ten Underworld Coins.” Su Ran held on to his last hope. “Equivalent?” The librarian scoffed and ignored him. Good heavens, if he had known that a unit of Infinite Money could fetch him a rare bone technique, he would never have given it away so casually… not even if he had to sell himself! What a terrible mistake! However, Su Ran chuckled, recalling the time he picked up an Infinite Money during his adventures in the Beast Tomb. How interesting! Every sip and every bite in life has its given time! Su Ran composed himself, used a unit of Infinite Money, and randomly drew a Skill Book. “Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for acquiring a Demon World Bone Book!” Demon World Bone Book? Phew, at least it’s something he could use. [Demon World Bone Book] (Skill Book) Can allow the undead to learn the Bone Technique of Physical Fitness. Note: Although the undead are physically dead, they can still strengthen and harden their bones! Su Ran frowned, he had already learned this technique! Clone… Su Ran casually tossed the Demon World Bone Book to his clone, the Skeleton Warrior. After the Skeleton Warrior accepted it, the Skill Book disappeared in a flash, transforming into a ghostly light that vanished within the Skeleton Warrior’s skeletal frame. “Ding! Congratulations, player Skeleton’s clone has learned the Bone Technique – Physical Fitness Technique!” Physical Fitness Technique: Enhances own Qi Blood, increases blood volume by 20%. The blood volume of the clone, the Skeleton Warrior, skyrocketed instantly, reaching a horrifying 1488! This technique, for a melee fight, was like a divine technique! Su Ran watched his clone in jubilation, this was so badass… The Skeleton Lord, satisfied with his achievements, left the academy and headed toward the altar. He suddenly remembered that with everything that had been going on, he had entirely forgotten about his new guardian beast – the Undead Bone Dragon King. Above the altar, a colossal coffin suspended in mid-air, exuding an endless dark radiance. This, in turn, transformed into a massive dark energy that cloaked his entire territory. The dark elements surged, continuously emitting an aura of death. Su Ran watched the scene unfold before him, awestruck. He stepped forward and casually opened the attributes of the Jade Altar. [King Beast Guardian] (Undead Bone Dragon King) Within the territory, members get an additional 5% attack bonus, +30 Defense, and +100 Qi Blood. Active Skill: When the guarded territory receives a lethal hit, the Undead Bone Dragon King will unleash a Forbidden Curse, causing weakness for a week after use. Passive Skills: Majesty of the King Beast Guardian – An absolute defensive shield forms automatically, extending the safety period of the territory by one month. Suppression of the Undead King – Increases the chance of subduing undead creatures. Note: Due to the unstable soul of the Undead Bone Dragon King, the territorial attribute bonuses are reduced to 1/10th as the power of the undead has just revived. If it’s only 1/10th and already so many attribute bonuses, what if the King Beast Guardian was at its peak? The offensive bonus would be a terrifying 50%, Defense +300, and Qi Blood +1000!!! Oh my, the power of a King Beast Guardian?! The safety period even increased by one month? Deep down, Su Ran made a decision: He needed to find an opportunity to restore the Undead Bone Dragon King to its peak! Little Skeleton suddenly remembered it had a title it hadn’t checked yet. [Guardian of the Undead Bone Dragon King] Qi Blood +100 Defense +10 The Guardian of the Undead Bone Dragon King, what a cool title! Su Ran wore the title proudly, strides confident and breezy. After a little self-admiration, though, he promptly hid the title. Alas, even with these bonuses his 468 blood and 38 defense could not change his low-Defense plight. Suddenly. An untimely system prompt sounded out. “Ding! Player’s game time is up. To avoid affecting your gaming experience, please make preparations. You will automatically exit the game in five minutes.” Time’s up already? Su Ran pulled out his two prized coffins, the Primitive Ancient Coffin and the Black Rock Coffin Edged with Gold. He had his Skeleton warrior avatar lay in the Black Rock Coffin to receive special items while he continued to lay in the Primitive Ancient Coffin to gain experience. Coffins, oh coffins, such wonderful things! Speaking of coffins, Su Ran remembered he had two Gold Coffins he hadn’t checked out yet. That was okay though, there had been too many surprises tonight. He could save that for tomorrow night. He and his avatar secured their respective coffin lids and logged out in the darkness. However, what Su Ran didn’t know was that Ni Wudao and his gang had suffered huge losses in the battle of the Beast King’s Tomb, causing Tiger Supreme’s guild channel to become lively. “Guys, assemble for a high-level BOSS hunt! Any takers for the 50-level special BOSS should report to Jiu Kong, our Vice-Chairman, at our guild headquarters!” The Tiger Supreme’s guild leader Withered Fish suddenly announced in the guild channel. “Whoa! Really, Chairman? A 50-level special BOSS? Can we really beat it?” an elite guild member couldn’t resist asking. “It’s true, I can vouch for it. I went there with Jiu Kong. There were too few of us, so I died in there,” a frustrated Fire Mage God grumbled on the guild channel. Both he and Ni Wudao had hidden in the second layer of the Beast Tomb, never expecting the two special BOSSes to enter the second level via the teleportation circle. It was unfair! Fire Mage God and Ni Wudao died a miserable death, barely describable. “We have two 50-level special BOSSes, and possibly a Beast King!” Jiu Kong excitedly declared on the guild chat channel, “Guys, I, Jiu Kong, am true to my word. Any equipment dropped by the BOSSes will go straight into the guild’s warehouse. You all can purchase them with guild points. No one can take them out privately!” Immediately, a series of praise flooded the guild channel, with everyone eager to contribute to the guild. Nearly all the guild members signed up, with the assembly time set for the next day at 8:30 p.m. However, what Withered Fish, the Chairman, did not know was that within the guild he managed, there was a spy from one of the Top Ten Guilds, Dancing Demons. Soon after the news was leaked, it caused a major stir within Dancing Demons!
