Chapter 549: Chapter 529: Invading the Devil’s Domain (two in one) _2

"It’s time to set off!"

Su Ran was sure that the other end of the teleportation array at the top of Demonic Treasure Mountain was undoubtedly the demon clan’s headquarters, the Demon Realm!

With his idea set, Su Ran stepped onto the freshly restored teleportation array. The Ghost Clan’s mark on the array had already disappeared. Amidst the flickering dim light, Su Ran was teleported out, and the entire Demonic Treasure Mountain again resumed its silence.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of white light suddenly appeared, and a skeleton wearing a straw cloak materialized in a pitch-dark area.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for discovering a new terrain, the Demon Realm!"

"Ding! As the player, Skeleton, has intruded the Demon Realm without obtaining a Demon Realm token, the curse buff ’Death’s Penalty’ has been enforced."

The sudden system alert startled Su Ran. Finding out he’d been cursed without doing anything, Su Ran felt the world darken.

"Damn the system! Is this some kind of a disguised warning because I’ve been cruising along too smoothly?"

Su Ran was helpless against the system, this big boss, and had to accept reality reluctantly. However, he was comforted by the fact that this place was indeed the Demon Clan’s headquarters, the Demon Realm, just as he had predicted!

"Death’s Penalty? What’s that supposed to mean?"

Su Ran was curious about the curse forcefully attached to him. According to its name, ’Death’s Penalty’ should incur some kind of a loss upon death.

[Death’s Penalty] (Permanent Buff)

On death, level -1, drop rate +10%. After killing an enemy, target’s level -1, drop rate +10%.

"Man, it’s a double-edged sword!"

Su Ran was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the system to give him a permanent buff. Wasn’t this the equivalent of a passive skill being given to him for free?

How gracious!

As for the curse from the Demon Realm, ’Death’s Penalty,’ Su Ran was not afraid. With his summoned beast army guarding him and his unbeatable magic techniques, it was tough to achieve his death. He was particularly struck by the setting: after killing an enemy, their level will decrease by one, and the drop rate will increase by 10%.

Keep in mind, being enemies with Human Race players was already a done deal. Also, his territory would be under large-scale attacks from players in waves once the protection period ended!

Now that he had ’Death’s Penalty’ buff, Su Ran could already picture the panic on the faces of the players he killed.

"Hmm, those who covet my territory better think twice about whether they can afford to lose a level!"

Su Ran’s spirits lifted instantly after being cursed. He couldn’t wait to encounter a team of players and test the effect of ’Death’s Penalty’!

At that moment, Su Ran sincerely wanted to thank the divine system. This curse buff was just like timely rain! He felt even more confident about protecting his territory!

"What a beautiful day to be alive!"

Su Ran was in high spirits, humming a tune as he strolled in the advanced terrains. There were still several days left for Liu Shitou’s hidden task. Su Ran knew that the final clue for Liu Shitou was in this Demon Realm. Since he had already found the Demon Realm, wasn’t he close to completing the task of rescuing Liu Shitou?

"Lil’ Shitou, wait for your bro to save you!"

Su Ran knew as long as the countdown for the mission hadn’t ended, there was no danger to Lil’ Shitou’s life. At present, the first thing Su Ran needed to do was to find the mysterious Pool of Demon Blood!

His little beggar henchman needed the Pool of Demon Blood for his rebirth. This mission had been on Su Ran for quite some time. Now was a perfect opportunity to wind it up, killing two birds with one stone!

"Too bad I can’t bring Demonic Treasure Mountain with me. I’ll have to wait after this is over to claim this treasure mountain!"

Su Ran was a bit regretful, but he was still confident as he believed nobody else could shake this treasure mountain!

"Squeak~"

An unusual sound came from the distance, waking Su Ran from his reverie.

"Mobs are spawning!"

Su Ran’s body shivered. Immediately, he perked up and started observing the environment carefully. The Demon Realm was the Demon Clan’s headquarters, a place where players of his level didn’t belong! The slightest carelessness could lead to the encounter with an advanced boss. The bosses of this rank were highly intelligent, as sophisticated as the players, which was evident from the Demon General’s abilities.

To defeat it tactically was difficult!

He had not walked far when Su Ran discovered a vast, abnormal forest. The trees here were completely pitch black as if stained with ink, glistening in the dark, including their leaves.

Weeds grew waist-high from the ground. What puzzled Su Ran was that these weeds swayed constantly without any wind, as if welcoming his arrival, which made him feel cautious. The color of these weeds was just like that of the leaves - as dark as ink. If it were night, Su Ran would have been unable to identify the presence of a dense forest here.

"Squeak~!"

Another sharp and piercing sound echoed, resembling that of a fingernail scraping against a glass window. It spurred fear in one’s heart.

If possible, Su Ran really wished to bypass this eerie forest!

However,

No one knew if this mysterious Magic Blood Pool was located within this forest. Left without an alternative, Su Ran could only take the risk and explore further.

"Whoosh!"

Without hesitation, Su Ran summoned ten skeletons. His shadowy skeletal bear also appeared by his side. On top of that, he pulled out the Strange Demon Bone Cauldron and stuffed it with numerous materials. Leveraging the Shape Transformation skill, a burly Strange Demon appeared before him once again.

"Such a fierce attack!"

Upon reviewing the Strange Demon’s attributes, Su Ran couldn’t help exclaiming. Having witnessed the Strange Demon’s power, he couldn’t help but nod in approval of its abilities. It was straightforward, brave, and violent!

He had mixed feelings about this Strange Demon. Despite its powerful attack, its Qi Blood and defense left much to be desired. It was a shame that such a robust, muscular form was under-utilized. It could only serve as a surprise weapon, which wasn’t too bad either.

With these summoned creatures by his side, Su Ran felt considerably more confident. He signaled his summoned skeletons to lead the way into the forest.

Quite suddenly,

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Upon Su Ran’s impetuous intrusion, a string of shrill squeals shattered the silence and a swarm of large, pitch-black rats with eyes glowing red rushed toward him.

"Damn it, I’ve encountered enemies just as I’ve entered the forest!"

Although taken aback, Su Ran remained composed and commanded his summoned skeletons to attack the rat-like enemies.

The ten summoned skeletons had evolved into Bronze Skeletons due to the skill upgrade. Although there was no change in appearance, their aura had significantly heightened, leading Su Ran to hold higher expectations of them. They no longer merely served as sacrificial pawns like before.

Just as the rats collided with the skeletons, the shadowy skeletal bear surged forward at Su Ran’s command, erupted in a roar, and a wave of red ripples spread out, slamming into the rats.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

A series of muffled sounds echoed from the bodies of the rats, revealing damage values of over a hundred.

Without a doubt, this was the shadowy skeletal bear’s group attack skill, Bear Roar Wave!
