NOVPUB49: Chapter 49: Shocking Beast King’s Coffin
49 -49: Shocking Beast King’s Coffin
“It’d be great to have a superior pet.
I wish I could own one someday!”
Ni Wudao watched the Wave Chasing Eagle in the sky with envy, not forgetting to follow closely behind Jiu Kong towards the depths of the special map.
Su Ran waited a bit longer, made sure they disappeared, then finally came out from his hiding spot.
However, due to squatting for a long time, each step he took made a loud creaking sound; it was quite irritating to the ear.
“Huh?
Where’s the big hole that was just here?
It was here when I stood up, how did it disappear in a blink of an eye?”
Su Ran looked at the ground in confusion, scratching the back of his head unconsciously.
Wait, dig open the ground with a hoe?
What a joke, the Earthly List expert, Jiu Kong, was down there.
He knew his place and didn’t need to go seeking excitement!
Uncomfortably, Su Ran pulled out the Corpse Hiding Map.
Now that there were no players and no refreshed monsters around, he hurried towards the geomantic treasure spot indicated by the coordinates.
Su Ran finally reached the coordinate location and promptly used the mysterious Corpse Hiding Map.
Just then,
A golden light flashed over the spot indicated on the Corpse Hiding Map, the ground split in two, forming a not too big nor small passage that led directly underground.
“This is going to be troublesome…”
Su Ran was a bit indecisive.
After all, the players were all down below.
If he jumped down recklessly now, wouldn’t that be — like lighting a lamp in an outhouse, seeking death?
Huh?
Wait a minute!
He carefully observed that the situation at the bottom of the pit was clearly visible, it was a closed tomb, without any passages or exits.
So, he and Ni Wudao and others must have entered different hidden maps!
Could it be, two parallel spaces?
“Seek wealth and risk danger, let’s do it!”
Su Ran made a resolute decision to take a gamble!
Immediately after, he instructed the skeleton warrior to jump down first.
After observing left and right and confirming there was no danger, Su Ran jumped down from above.
“Ding!
Congratulations to player Skull, you have entered a special terrain, the Beast King’s Tomb Space!”
Beast King’s Tomb Space?
No matter what space it is, as long as it’s a tomb, it was worth exploring for him!
Su Ran reflexively pulled out a newbie hoe from his bladder, slung it over his shoulder, intending to see if there were some places to dig.
What he saw gave him quite a shock!
Above his head was an arched space, covering this long-sleeping graveyard.
Right in front was a massive coffin.
Su Ran gave it a rough estimate, the coffin was so big, it was beyond imagination, it could easily fit twenty of him!
Just what was inside this coffin?!
Even if there was nothing inside, the properties of this huge coffin must be quite perverse!
Su Ran suddenly recalled the mysterious tomb robbing situations his history teacher had talked about during his school days.
He very seriously took out four incense candles from his bladder, and placed them at the four corners of the coffin, lighting them one by one.
Since this was about robbing the ancient Beast King’s Tomb, propriety was crucial.
Suddenly,
A gust of cold wind blew, fiercely blowing at the candle flames, but no matter how strong the wind was, the incense candles still burned resiliently.
(The incense candles belonged to the player’s items, the burning lasted three minutes, it couldn’t be extinguished within this time unless the owner stopped using it.)
The cold wind was embarrassed at once.
However, this was a closed space, there was no air circulation, where did this wind come from?!
Could it be…
a ghost?
The eerie and terrifying atmosphere permeated all around.
Su Ran’s heart fluttered.
This coffin was very sinister!
Oh no, wait a minute, Su Ran slapped his forehead.
I’m a skeleton, an undead.
Who’s scared of ghosts?!
Even if it spawns a ghost, it’s just another monster, banish it with joss paper!
This gloomy atmosphere almost made Su Ran feel like he was on the real scene, nearly forgetting that it was just an online game when he saw his skeleton warrior on the side.
At this moment, a bewitching flower on the ground caught Su Ran’s attention.
He bent down, reached out his hand and pulled it into his hand.
[Nightmare Flower] (Herb)
Known for its hallucinogenic properties, extremely rare!
Note: First choice for refining pills, super superior herb.
As expected, it was this doing the mischief!
A super superior herb?
This was a good thing!
Su Ran solemnly placed this peculiar flower into his Storage Box, then moved towards this massive coffin and studied its properties.
[Beast King’s Coffin] 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
A taboo place for the Beast Clan, the Beast King’s Tomb!
Note: If you open this coffin, the Beast Clan will pursue you, they will not stop until one of you is dead!
Please be careful!
Wow, are they trying to scare me?
Don’t they know, I was born fearless!
Su Ran chuckled.
His character was a necromancer of the Demon World, and the Beast Clan belonged to the Celestial Realm.
The two realms were mutually exclusive, sworn enemies, already in a to-the-death struggle!
Ignoring the system’s warning, the two skeleton minions gripped the coffin lid and suddenly lifted it!
However, Su Ran didn’t realize that when he lifted the lid of the Beast King’s Coffin, a gust of wind stirred up and filled the sky above the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
The beasts and birds in the forest ran in fear, like it was the end of the world, causing a riot among the beasts!
“Ding!
Congratulations to the player skeletal for completing the hidden storyline — Beast Clan Chaos, reward 10k XP!”
“Ding!
Congratulations to the player skeletal for earning the title [Beast Clan’s Nemesis]!”
“Ding!
Congratulations to the player skeletal for leveling up, level increased by one!”
“Ding!
Congratulations to the player skeletal’s minion for leveling up, level up to 13!”
What?
Just lifting the coffin lid completed a hidden storyline, earned a title, leveled up, and the minion directly jumped to level 13?
Ha ha ha, the system is really generous!
Su Ran couldn’t help but check the newly earned title’s properties.
[Beast Clan’s Nemesis] (Permanent)
When fighting the Beast Clan, attack bonus 10%, personal defense decreased by 20%.
Note: For the player who gains this title, their hatred value with the Beast Clan will be maxed out, to-the-death struggle!
Ahem, double-edged sword…
Encountering beasts while having personal defense lowered by 20% could be deadly.
He quickly hid the title.
Soft and yet useless.
Su Ran allocated all his attribute points to magic attack.
Only when he saw his attribute panel did he feel a little relieved.
[Skeleton] (Necromancer) Level 15
Health: 288
Magic Attack: 121+30 (Advanced Paper Burning + Bone Nail) = 151
Magic Power: 1210
Defense: 23
Agility: 7
Luck: 13
Considering his current strength, unless he encounters a high-rank Beast Clan boss, Su Ran should be able to deal with any Beast Clan adversary in a single blow!
Next, Su Ran gave his minion, the skeleton warrior, a full health boost, further increasing his strength.
[Skeleton Warrior] (Undead Warrior) Lv 13
Qi Blood: 820
Attack: 22
Defense: 22
Ha ha, with 820 Qi Blood, this has really become a beefy unit!
With this, Su Ran’s chances of survival increased a bit.
After the two small skeletons strained to lift the coffin lid and threw it aside, the large coffin revealed the hidden, mysterious object.
Upon seeing it, Su Ran’s skeletal frame shook.
His whole skeleton started trembling excitedly.
Inside the Beast King’s Coffin, there was an entire golden dragon corpse lying!
It was a Golden Dragon, and even a Golden Dragon King wearing a crown!
Are they kidding me, Su Ran who had only been playing for a few days, was now encountering a Dragon King.
This was a top-tier Beast Clan representative!
Well.
Even if it’s only a corpse.
Su Ran knew that he had hit the jackpot, and it was a mega jackpot too!!
