NOVPUB74: Chapter 74: In Hand
74 -74: In Hand
Su Ran didn’t know that other players had witnessed him picking up equipment just now.
He boldly headed towards Blackwater Pool, unafraid of the skeletons attacking him.
Because as soon as he stepped into this dark abyss, he discovered that all the skeletons in his line of sight had all turned into green names!
What did these green names mean?
After picking up the equipment, Su Ran habitually shifted his hips a bit to balance out the stuff in his bladder, enabling him to walk more steadily.
Little did he know that his fancy move caught the eyes of a player, and it was a nasty brute, no less.
Su Ran approached a skeleton that was blindly walking nearby.
He briefly checked it and found that the skeleton was level 20.
The green-named skeleton looked at Su Ran and even amiably smiled at him without launching an attack before turning away.
Su Ran was pleasantly surprised.
Then he remembered, when he chose the name ‘Skeleton,’ he gained the friendship of the skeleton clan!
So, was this place his hometown?
Could he walk around unimpeded here and without any danger?
Su Ran’s eyes were filled with excitement.
He hurriedly ordered his Bone Insect to jump off the cliff and return to death’s embrace, err, which was quite cruel actually.
Then he single-handedly summoned another, and the Bone Insect reappeared alive and well.
Su Ran reasoned that he still had to venture into that cave himself!
While Su Ran was replenishing his Mana, sounds of fighting came from a distance.
Squinting into the distance, he saw a man and a woman hurriedly rushing towards him, and they promptly got engaged in battle upon encountering wild skeleton monsters.
After Su Ran had refilled his Mana, he carefully retreated a few steps to the edge of the mysterious Blackwater Pool.
The waterfall’s rumbling was exceptionally loud and powerful.
Su Ran hid behind the Skeleton Army to see what these two players were up to.
He instructed his Bone Insect minion to sneak over.
With the Ice Mage unawares, the Bone Insect arched its body high and lashed out ruthlessly with its tail, leaving a long red mark on the female Mage’s pretty face.
It was only then that the Ice Mage, You Qian, truly understood the infuriation Mo Qian had felt before.
Ah, ah, ah!
This damned Bone Insect, always aiming for the face when attacking!
It didn’t even spare women!
You Qian was irritated, thinking that the Bone Insect and the Death Skeleton behaved the same way.
Both were obscenely annoying!
Infuriated, the magic power surged within You Qian’s body, even freezing her magic wand into an ice crystal.
The blue light became intense and quickly condensed into a blue orb, which You Qian launched at the continuously wriggling Bone Insect.
“Boom!”
An ‘Ice and Fire Spell’ hit the Bone Insect.
Unable to dodge due to being a target of area attack, the Bone Insect could only let the brilliant Crowd Technique crash against itself.
To the Bone Insect, however, this tiny bit of damage scarcely mattered.
Ha!
Whacking away in a fit of fury, this female player attracted more than a dozen skeletons nearby, causing deep trouble for Mo Qian at their front.
“Little You, what are you doing!
Even in this situation, you dare to use a Crowd Technique?” Mo Qian was extremely anxious.
Watching all these skeletons attack, he considered retreating.
“What’s wrong with using the wrong move!” You Qian knew she was in the wrong and could only defend herself, “Let’s retreat.
We can’t breakthrough alone, we should call Strawberry Pudding later, and together we’ll catch that damned skeleton!”
While You Qian was tersely speaking, the Bone Insect launched its body into the air again, lashing its tail one more time on the familiar spot on Old Mo’s face, and a red mark instantly appeared.
Having been provoked by the Bone Insect many times, always aiming for the face when attacking, Mo Qian’s anger reached a boiling point.
Drawing his broadsword, he furiously hacked at the squirming Bone Insect, wishing to cut it in half!
“Run now, the dozen skeletons are coming to surround us!” Midway into her escape, You Qian shouted at Old Mo, though the noise of the distant waterfall drowned out her voice.
Due to the crowd of skeletons, the Bone Insect couldn’t find a space to dodge and took two vengeful blows from Mo Qian.
At this moment, the skeletons heavily enclosed Mo Qian and began to attack him.
Regaining his senses, Mo Qian realized he had been surrounded by skeletons.
He gave up on the Bone Insect, as it had too much health, and turned to slay the skeletons behind him, hoping to defeat them and make his escape.
“Little You, come help me!” Mo Qian’s usually rugged voice wavered with desperation.
Seeing this situation, You Qian hastily returned and fired ice bolts at the skeleton Mo Qian was attacking.
Unfortunately, the Bone Insect wasn’t going to let them have their way.
It sluggishly squirmed to that poor skeleton which was being beaten, lined up quietly behind it.
It took Mo Qian hard work to face off the enclosing skeletons and smash that one to pieces when its health reached nil.
Just when he was about to make a run for it, he was desperate to see a Bone Insect nonchalantly squirming in to fill in the gap of the encirclement.
Fuck!
Mo Qian was devastated, this wasn’t fair play!
After struggling for a while, Mo Qian fiercely slashed at the Bone Insect one more time, before finally falling to the ground, helpless to the point of crumbling, revealing a golden scroll on his death.
Su Ran was taken aback, estimating that the Berserker Mo Qian would probably develop a phobia of Bone Insects in the future.
Right, why did that female Mage speak about catching that nasty skeleton?
Su Ran quickly realized his own situation.
He glanced at the female Mage.
By this time, You Qian had fled and disappeared.
Afterwards, the Skeleton casually walked over to the place where the Berserker had died to check for any loot.
Huh?
Only one scroll exploded out?
Not even a single potion was dropped, this player was really stingy.
If Mo Qian heard this, he would gnash his teeth in fury.
Su Ran casually picked up the golden scroll.
[Pet-catching Scroll] (Gold)
One-time equipment, after use, there is a high probability of transforming a Gold level Boss or lower monster into your own pet.
Note: Any profession can use it.
After use, it disappears.
Damn, this is a treasure!
Is it possible to say that I can use this scroll to get a Gold level BOSS like ‘Wave Chasing Eagle,’ just like Jiu Kong of the ‘Earthly List’ did?!
Isn’t that super cool!
Su Ran laughed hehe, earnestly storing it in his Storage Box.
He then patted his Bone Insect’s skull; well done, my subordinate!
The Bone Insect seemed pleased in front of Su Ran, wriggling back and forth excitedly.
Suddenly.
“Ding!
Player, Skeleton’s gaming time has reached its limit.
To ensure your gaming experience, please make the necessary preparations.
You will automatically leave the game in five minutes.”
Damn, time was up so quickly!
Su Ran looked at that tempting dark cave, only able to swallow his saliva and wait for tomorrow…
He hid his form amidst the pile of skeletons before logging off.
Not long after Su Ran logged off, waves of players flooded into this map.
All of their heads bore the same prefix, Dancing Demons!
