35 -35: Bone Soul Ghost Fire
A coffin suits a skeleton, indeed it was a good choice.
“Wow, wow, such a big box, thank you, Lord!” The little skeleton hopped around excitedly, “Grandfather, grandfather, I am amazing, right?
I traded a small box for a big one, here, for you!
This one is bigger than all of yours combined!
Amazing~”
Child, this is a coffin…
and it doesn’t even have a lid…
Steward Liu’s current expression looked constipated, as if he had eaten a blowfly.
He quickly bowed his head in gratitude and took the coffin away.
A bunch of boxes?
Su Ran’s eyes lit up.
The old man has quite a few good things!
“Cough cough,” it was still early, there was no hurry.
Su Ran gently put the two boxes into his pelvic cavity, casually put the precious Fire Source Pearl into the real storage box, and took out a sheet of [Grave Pressing Paper], handing it to the little skeleton, “Stonie, this is for you, go and make paper airplanes!”
“Thank you, Lord!” Liu Shitou took the yellowed Grave Pressing Paper and sprinted away excitedly.
“Lord oh, you have hurt this old man.
That real storage box was passed down to me by my ancestors, and it is the only one…” Liu’s face showed distress, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Su Ran.
“Only one of a bunch?” Su Ran eyed the old man acting pitifully.
“Er, um…” Liu was stunned, thought for a moment, chose his words carefully, looked slowly up at the heavily clouded sky, and said leisurely, “Lord, the weather is great today.”
Su Ran didn’t bother with him anymore.
He took out the skull vase and tossed it to Liu, then turned and left.
Liu quickly caught it and called out loudly, “Lord, please wait!
This servant has another request.”
Oh gee, there’s a follow-up to this task?
Su Ran stopped, slightly tilted his skeletal frame, and waited for Liu’s response.
“Esteemed lord, another of my cherished possessions was stolen by the damn Corpse Poison Mosquito.
I hope you can help retrieve it.” Liu looked a bit embarrassed.
Damn, how many cherished possessions does this old man have?
“Don’t tell me it’s another vase?”
“No, no, it’s a few of my bone flowers.
With a vase and no flowers, I can’t sleep well at night!” Liu reached up to wipe at the empty sockets of his skull.
Bone flowers?
That’s new.
“Alright, I’ll accept this quest.
You know what I expect as a reward.” Su Ran gave a sly grin, no longer looking at Liu’s pained expression.
He walked towards the Dark Swamp.
Corpse Poison Mosquitoes, sheesh, group enemies.
It was unrealistic to lure them one by one, and he hadn’t learned any group bone techniques, so dealing with this task was tricky.
As Su Ran wandered around the dark swamp, he occasionally scratched his round skull, thinking about a strategy.
I got it!
Su Ran suddenly knocked on his skull.
In the dark swamp, a small skeleton was rushing towards the west, suddenly, a beast more than a meter tall blocked Su Ran’s path.
Su Ran looked carefully, it was a [Dark Bone Lizard] wandering the swamp.
[Dark Bone Lizard] Level 20
Health: 600
Attack: 40-50
Defense: 30
Agility: 4
Active Skills: Charge – Charges at the target like a tank, stunning the target for 2 seconds.
Passive Skills: Unyielding – When health drops below 20%, the attack increases by 10%.
Note: Bone Lizard, like when it was alive, remains a loner.
Phew, agility so slow, what’s the use of having a lot of health, kite it and it’s done!
Su Ran thought it was feasible, so he casually took out [Burning Paper] and a [Bone Nail] from the bladder for his use, and flung a piece of Burning Paper over.
“Bang!” “-159”
The Dark Bone Lizard, in pain, gave an irate roar at the wretched skeleton.
Hatred forcing it to lock onto Su Ran’s figure tightly, the four bones it used as limbs began to scrape the ground aggressively, charging towards the paper-wielding skeleton.
Su Ran, being more agility, naturally didn’t mind the charging Dark Bone Lizard.
He smeared another piece of Burning Paper and threw it over.
“Bang!” “-159”
The Dark Bone Lizard was attacked again, its entire skeletal structure trembling slightly.
It charged even faster towards the nuisance of a skeleton.
When the giant bone lizard charged at him, Su Ran dodged to the side and quickly pasted a burning paper on its buttocks while the oversized creature toppled forward momentum.
Then, Su Ran charged a few meters forward, leaving behind the dying Dark Bone Cat, which, instead of fleeing, courageously continued to charge toward its skeletal nemesis.
Shaking his head helplessly, Su Ran lit a scrap of paper, ending the poor creature’s life and it transformed into a brand-new tombstone after its death.
Ah, more good stuff coming!
Now, the sight of a tombstone brought a gleam to Su Ran’s eyes.
He vigorously rubbed his bone claws, pulled out a novice hoe from his pelvis, and started digging into the fresh grave.
Maybe it was a stroke of luck, but Su Ran heard a “ding” on just his first swing.
The little skeleton trembled with excitement.
“Ding!
Congratulations to the player for obtaining a Bone Crystal.”
What on earth is a Bone Crystal?
Having a taste of success, Su Ran resumed his fervent digging.
“Ding!
Congratulations to the player for obtaining the material—Lizard Rib.”
“Ding!
Congratulations to the player for obtaining the material—Lizard Claw.”
Seeing that he had flattened the new tomb in just a few digs, Su Ran felt a moment of melancholy.
Is grave digging somewhat unethical?
Fortunately, it’s just a game.
Su Ran dug out a freshly unearthed Bone Crystal from his pelvis.
Huh?
What’s this?
He discovered something next to the Bone Crystal, a tiny flame, emitting a faint yellow glow.
Right, he had dug this up when he was excavating the Dark Bone Cat’s grave.
It got overlaid with the Skeleton Vase, a mission item, and he had completely forgotten about this flame.
Su Ran casually took the flame out of his pelvis.
[Bone Soul Ghost Fire] (Yellow Level) (Enhancement Material)
Soul Experience +100.
Note: Everything has a soul.
This flame has the potential to advance the soul.
Does everything, even this dead skeleton, have a soul?
Su Ran gave a self-mocking laugh.
He crushed the [Bone Soul Ghost Fire] in his hand.
Use!
In vain.
The smashed Bone Soul Ghost Fire emitted a strong yellow light, wrapping around Su Ran’s skeletal body.
The ghostly fire flowed along his skeleton like water.
In a little while, all the flames concentrated into Su Ran’s two hollow eye sockets, forming two white flames.
“Ding!
Congratulations to player Skeleton, your soul has successfully advanced.”
Huh, even the dead have souls.
The soul, what an interesting thing!
Su Ran gave a self-mocking laugh.
He thought about himself.
If he couldn’t find a cure in the game, when he died, would his soul dissipate into the universe or stay within his body?
That was a big if.
Su Ran shook his head, dismissing the disconcerting thoughts.
He examined the properties of the Bone Soul Ghost Fire in his eye sockets.
[Bone Soul Ghost Fire] (White Level)
Magic Attack +10
Experience needed for advancement 0/1000
Note: The soul has taken shape, reawakening within the body.
Cool, without realizing it, his actual damage had already reached 173.
Su Ran continued to look at the white crystal the size of a glass ball that he held in his hand—a Bone Crystal.
[Bone Crystal] (Enhancement Material)
Use to evolve one’s own bone membrane.
Defense +1
Note: A bone crystal formed from the essence of a lifetime’s worth of bone membrane.
With repeated use, the bone membrane will undergo a qualitative change.
Eagerly, Su Ran popped the Bone Crystal into his mouth, chewed it a bit, and swallowed.
“Ding!
Congratulations to player Skeleton, for using the Bone Crystal.
Bone membrane strength increased, Defense +1!”
Whew, the feeling of getting stronger felt pretty good.
