Chapter 560: Chapter 540: Deceiving People by Pretending to be an NPC

"What is this..."

But when Su Ran turned around, he found seven more torches behind him, which cast a broader searchlight and were approaching his direction.

"Well, look at them casting a wide net for fish~!" freewebnσvel.cøm

Su Ran knew all too well that he was the big fish, and if they killed him, there would be no one left to fight them for the Nightmare Flower!

However, killing him wasn’t going to be easy!

The ghostly fire in Su Ran’s eyes flickered subtly as he formed a plan. Taking advantage of the darkness, he consciously approached the nearest group. Upon a careful observation, he found that the team consisted of only four people, and the formidable Qiu Tu wasn’t among them!

The show was about to begin, and these players were cluelessly engrossed in their small talk.

"Hey, don’t you think we’re overreacting by forming this big team to kill just one player? Isn’t this overkill? Maybe, he can’t even beat any one of us. There are plenty of such mediocre players! I think Boss Qiu is being overly cautious!"

"Shush... keep your voice down, what if we attract that person over here?"

"Heh, wouldn’t it be better if he came over here? My Fire Cannon will completely blow his mind!"

The player boasted confidently due to their numerical advantage and didn’t regard the lone player as a threat. He was certain that the latter would just tuck tail and run, and wouldn’t dare to charge headlong into this crowd.

Just then,

A dark cloud suddenly appeared above these players. Due to the single torchlight in their team, their field of vision was quite limited and they failed to notice the irregularity. The only sign was the rumbling of a brewing thunderstorm that reached their ears.

"What’s happening? Is it going to rain?"

"Lift the torch higher, let’s see what that flicker above is. Could it be a treasure?"

However, as these players looked up towards the sky, a series of thunderbolts struck them. The continuous boom of the lightning left them dazed and confused.

"Damn it, that was not a treasure, it was a sneak attack! Sound the whistle!"

"No need for a whistle, isn’t it obvious?"

"Old Lu, use Rain of Fire! Blast this scoundrel out!"

"Alright!"

As Old Lu waved his staff, a flurry of fireballs fell from the sky onto the ground, bathing the entire area in a fiery red glow. Through the illumination, the silhouette of a floating skeleton became visible.

"It’s a ghost!!!"

Old Lu was startled, and his fearful scream pierced through the silence, sending chills down the spines of his teammates.

"Stop screaming! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

"There’s a sk... skull in the sky!"

"You’ve gotta be kidding, since when do undead fly?"

The players clearly didn’t believe Old Lu, and instinctively looked up towards the sky.

"Crack!"

Just then, the sky was lit up by a flash of lightning, revealing the skull’s eerie white gleam, combined with the flickering flame in its eye sockets and its unfixed position in the sky, it was truly spine chilling in the dim environment!

"Ahh!!!"

With the increasingly terrifying atmosphere, the players were scared out of their wits. They had completely forgotten that they were in a game and ran towards their main team in sheer horror.

Su Ran couldn’t help but chuckle when watching these players flee in fright, but for the sake of his plans, he tried hard to suppress his laughter and floated there, seriously waiting for the players to arrive.

"What happened to you?!"

Boss Qiu and his team who arrived soon after were perplexed by the flustered state of Old Lu and his teammates.

"Gho... there’s a ghost!"

"Please, quit playing around, how can there be ghosts in a game?"

At the mention of the game, the players realized they panicked for nothing and quickly took a deep breath, suppressing their fears. Their complexion slowly regained color.

"Boss Qiu, there’s a floating skeleton over there, it’s really strange!"

After regrouping with his teammates, Old Lu had regained some of his confidence and told Qiu Tu everything he had seen.

"Let’s go and check it out!"

Qiu Tu was surprised, he didn’t expect that they would discover a big boss before finding the player!

Under Qiu Tu’s leadership, the group of players quickly arrived at the coordinates. The light from the numerous torches they carried illuminated the area and drove away the darkness, revealing the figure of the cloaked skeleton.

"Are you the ones who disturbed my slumber?"

Su Ran’s voice echoed timely, it was so hoarse and combined with the current atmosphere, it evoked a sense of awe.

"Respected elder, we are strangers to this land and meant no disrespect. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us. May I ask your name, as a means of remembrance?"

Qiu Tu took a step forward and spoke to Su Ran with utmost respect.

Looking at his attitude, was this the same high and mighty top advancer on the Heavenly List?

"My name?"

With a long sigh, Su Ran spoke in a deep, melancholy tone, "It has been countless millennia, and I have long forgotten what was once my name. However, people used to refer to me as the Human Race Ancestor. I wonder if anyone in this era still remembers me. How pitiful, how lamentable!"

The few interactions with NPCs had made Su Ran pretty adept at pretending to be one, so much so that even he was impressed with his act!

Upon hearing that the skeleton belonged to the same faction, the human race, and was an ultra boss, the players’ eyes gleamed with excitement. It’s not every day that one came across a high-ranking NPC from the same faction. This was a golden opportunity to obtain special items, elite equipment, hidden missions, or even the rumored Dream Mirror!

The players’ breaths began to grow heavier as they looked at each other. At once, with a swoosh, they fell to their knees in surrender. Even Qiu Tu followed suit and kneeled down with utmost respect alongside his teammates.

"We certainly remember you. Thou art our ancestor, the ancestor of the human race. We pay our respects to you, respected ancestor!"

Pfft...

This is too much!

Su Ran didn’t expect this outcome. It left him dumbfounded. He had to admit, these players knew how to flatter! Blindly, he fell right into their laps and scored a massive bargain. It felt incredibly satisfying!

Su Ran sighed meditatively. Being under the rule of ancient emperors must have been quite the fulfillment, especially when one included their harem of three thousand concubines... umm... getting off track here.

"Rise, my descendants!"

Su Ran coughed uneasily, hiding the strangeness in his voice. With a considerably lamenting tone, he said "Much water has flowed under the bridge. Since I was sealed away in the demon realm tens of thousands of years ago, I haven’t seen the light of day. My children, who among you could tell me, what’s the current state of affairs on the God-Demon Continent now? Is our human race... still a slave to the God Race?"
