Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 546 - 527: The Great Use of Sand and Gravel

Nani?

Assassinate the Human Emperor?!

This task is too explosive!!!

"Senior, could you pause a moment, allow me some time to recover?"

Su Ran felt like his mind was failing him, to ask him, a skeletal Undead, to kill off the strongest NPC of the Human Race, wasn’t that asking for his own death?!

In the early days of killing the Shadow Clone of the Human Emperor, he almost failed, even under ideal circumstances. Just how insane must the true Human Emperor be! Without mentioning the Human Emperor, even fighting with Daoist Wang, a super BOSS, he couldn’t muster the courage! In addition to the Imperial City’s guard team and tens of millions of Human Race players, thinking about killing the true Human Emperor was absolutely preposterous!

"Ding! Congratulations to the player Skeleton for getting the main quest, ’Assassinate the Human Emperor,’ with unlimited time and generous rewards!"

Just as Su Ran hadn’t recovered from the contents of the task, a system notification suddenly resounded, shaking him to his core.

Dammit, isn’t the system too rogue?

I haven’t decided whether to accept or not, but the task was forcibly imposed on me. Is there no justice?!

At this moment, Su Ran considered the idea of going offline to complain.

"Little Skeleton, you don’t need to hesitate. If you can complete this difficult task in your lifetime, I would be satisfied in the afterlife."

The Flame Elder chuckled, looking at Su Ran’s stunned expression, and offered some soothing words.

"Senior, didn’t you say you would let me have time to recover? How come this task has been imposed upon me?"

Su Ran’s face was a picture of distress; he grumbled. Is the system so shameless that it can impose the mainline quest so casually?

"Hmm, didn’t you say you were ready to face the consequences? I took the liberty of accepting for you. What, you want to go back on your word?"

The Flame Elder’s voice suddenly turned cold, the hand that was holding the Dao fruit started to squeeze it harder.

"No, Senior, show mercy!"

Seeing this, Su Ran cried out. If something were to happen to the Dao fruit, he would truly lose everything!

"Senior, does... killing the Shadow Clone of the Human Emperor count as completing the task?"

Su Ran asked, slightly hopeful. If that would satisfy the task’s condition, he could submit the task immediately!

"The Shadow Clone?"

The Flame Elder, with deeper meaning in his eyes, looked at Su Ran before continuing, "You little skeleton are quite impressive, even knowing the secret of the Human Emperor. Not bad, the Human Emperor indeed has a shadow clone. However, that clone was destroyed by the people from the Demon World a while back and its royal jade seal has gone missing. The Human Emperor was wounded and furious, causing all the humans to live in unrest. I learned about this."

At this moment, Su Ran felt like telling the old man that it was he who killed the Human Emperor clone!

But what good would saying it do?

With that thought, Su Ran kept his mouth shut.

"Assassinating the Human Emperor was a wish that the Old Skeleton and I shared, and it now seems to have become our dying wish. Although this burden placed on you, a little skeleton, is a bit unreasonable, don’t drown yourself in self-pity! Perhaps one day, you’ll stand on top of the God Demon Continent and could play the Human Emperor in the palm of your hand! At that time, it would be very easy to kill the Human Emperor!"

The Flame Elder also knew that imposing this task on a skeletal Undead was a bit too much. So, he tried to boost Su Ran’s confidence with some soothing words.

That’s easier said than done!

Su Ran frowned, frustrated.

"Senior, there’s something I am not sure if I should ask."

"Go ahead."

"There are millions of brave souls on the God-Demon Continent, so why might they choose me, an Undead? Isn’t that a stretch?"

Su Ran raised his biggest doubt, hoping to find an answer from the old man.

"There are three reasons. Both that Old Skeleton and I fancy you; you bear the special title ’Enemy of the Human Race’; and I don’t have much time left to wait for the next talented person."

Damn, the last reason seems to be the most important, right?!

"Senior, how did you discover my title since I had it hidden?"

"I possess a special method of discernment that allows me to explore basic information about my targets, including titles."

"Could this skill be passed on to me?"

Su Ran reacted with delight. Even titles can be explored? That’s higher-level than his own exploration skills!

"This technique is not meant for you."

What rubbish!

Su Ran was suddenly moved to beat up this old man.

"Senior, why do you hold such deep hatred for the Human Emperor? I want to understand, I hope you can enlighten me."

Unable to acquire the skill, Su Ran continued to ask. He did not understand why that hermitage skeleton, who had always prided itself as part of the Human Race, would want to kill the Human Emperor?

"Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t know! This matter involves too much and is tied to a lot of karma. Knowing it would only harm you!"

The Flame Elder immediately rebuked him; a powerful aura exploded. Su Ran wisely closed his mouth.

"Now that my worries are gone, I’m relieved. Since it’s like this, I may as well enter reincarnation and reincarnate early! Let the memories of this world go with him."

The Flame Elder expressed a sense of lament, looking out at the distant horizon for a long time without speaking.

Damn, you might be worry-free, but my worries are piled up! Furthermore, this stingy old man would rather let the skill rot in his stomach than pass it on to me. It’s so annoying!

Get it over with, die and reincarnate as soon as possible!

Su Ran felt that this old guy was procrastinating too much. If he had given him the task rewards earlier, this old man might have been refreshed by the system already, so why have all this pointless chatter!

"Little skeleton, we are connected by fate. Before I leave, let me give you some pointers. This Dao fruit needs a carrier to hold it; otherwise, you would be repelled! Remember this!"

"Carrier?"

Su Ran was surprised; it was an unexpected gain! No wonder he was unable to grab the Dao fruit the last time; he got repelled!

"Senior, could sand serve as a carrier?"

Su Ran remembered clearly that the sand had once wrapped around this fruit, so theoretically, it should work as a carrier.

"Sand, do you have it?"

The Flame Elder revealed a rare surprised expression, "This Dao fruit was born in the desert. Can it be suitable?!"

"Then it’s settled, I’ve got plenty here."

Su Ran took out a handful and shook it in front of the Flame Elder. Luckily, he had a habit of collecting items; otherwise, he would have missed these sand particles entirely.

As for the rest of the sand, Su Ran dared not to pour out all at once. What if these sands and the Dao fruits produced a chemical reaction and he wound up with a Sand Beast BOSS? That would be picking up a rock to smash his own foot!

"Good, good! Little skeleton, you and this Dao fruit share a great destiny!"

The Flame Elder was beaming even brighter. He then fiercely tossed the miraculous fruit at Su Ran, "Catch it, this is your deserved reward!"

"Swish!"

The fruit shot out like a bullet, leaving Su Ran flustered.
