Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 587 - 562: Guardian Thunder Tower

"Demonic Treasure Mountain, this will be your home from now on. I’ll be back soon!"

After saying that, Su Ran hurried off to his territory. He wanted to comprehend the details of relocation. Factoring in every aspect, the Dark Swamp, with its mountains, water and toads, was absolutely a geomantic treasure land, a perfect choice for settling his territory!

However,

An hour after Su Ran had left, a tired middle-aged player rushed over, was stunned to a halt even before he reached the Dark Swamp. After panicking and circling around the Dark Swamp a few times, he wailed in uncontainable rage:

"Who the hell did this? They actually moved a mountain here!!! Son of a bitch!!! How am I supposed to complete my secret mission now?!"

...

Su Ran returned to Skeleton Village with a sense of achievement. With the big task completed, he instantly felt everything was a lot more pleasant.

"Huh, pebble is back, but why is the territory still so deserted?"

Looking around, Su Ran despairingly discovered that aside from the icy chunk of the Great White Shark, there were only buildings left. The whole village was devoid of life and eerily quiet.

"Little Shark, I’ll let you out in a bit. You’ve waited for so long, a bit longer won’t hurt~"

Su Ran’s mining skill had already reached level seven. He was fully capable of shattering the ice to save the shark. However, he had even more important things to do, so he had to put this issue aside for now.

"Sir~ Sir!"

Arriving at a house, Su Ran knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened and a shabby-looking old beggar appeared before Su Ran.

"Master, what’s the rush? You’ve almost broken the door!"

The old beggar spoke somewhat displeased, but he still stepped aside, gesturing for Su Ran to come in.

"Sir, your house’s decor...."

As soon as Su Ran stepped in, he felt a sense of familiarity, like déjà vu.

"Nothing much, same decor as the previous house. So when Little Egg comes back he won’t feel unfamiliar, and will have a place to sleep."

Hearing this, the old beggar glanced at the extra bed, not wanting to continue on this topic. Grinning at Su Ran, he showed his yellow teeth, "Lord, the Guardian Thunder Tower is ready. I’ll take you to see it now!"

"Sir, no need to rush."

Su Ran moved closer, grabbed the old beggar’s coarse hands, and spoke serenely, "Sir, Little Egg, he’s alive!"

"What?!"

Like a bolt from the blue, the old beggar trembled, his dim eyes revealing excitement. He gripped Su Ran’s arm, his voice filled with urgency, "Master, has Little Egg... returned?"

"No."

With Su Ran’s two words, the old beggar instantly lost his strength, his whole body went limp, his spirit seemed depleted.

"Sir, listen to me first. Little Egg is lucky. After being soaked in the Demonic Blood Pond, he has fully recovered. We should be happy for him!"

Su Ran explained to the old beggar, intentionally choosing the positive aspects, "Little Egg told me that he has more important things to do. Once he’s done, he will come back to see you!"

Given the old beggar’s current state, Su Ran didn’t dare to mention that Little Egg was coming to raid them...

"That foolish boy! Even if he has gained some power, he’s still no match for the Human Emperor, that old bastard. What are we going to do? What are we going to do?"

The old beggar was distraught, anxious yet helpless. He could only focus his gaze on Su Ran, hoping that he could think of a solution.

"Sir, you’ve misunderstood! Little Egg has evolved into a demon, so naturally, his strength is much higher. He went to the deep parts of the demonic territory, probably drawn by a summon from a Demon. It’s not as bad as you think!"

As expected, haste makes waste. Even the old beggar, a Grandmaster, could lose control, truly showing the depth of a parent’s love....

"A demon?!"

The old beggar trembled, then quieted down, muttering to himself, his worried look deepening.

"Forget it, a man should stand on his own. It’s about time to let him spread his wings!"

The old beggar forced a smile. Clearly, he didn’t want to talk about it anymore. He said to Su Ran, "Lord, come, I will show you my masterpiece!"

Su Ran did not know what to say to comfort the old beggar, so he remained silent and followed him outside.

The two left the house and arrived at the center of the village. A few meters from the giant chunk of ice, the old beggar stopped.

"Master, take a look."

The old beggar pointed at an iron plate at his feet, smiled at Su Ran, and said, "This is the Guardian Thunder Tower."

"..."

Looking at this unimpressive iron plate, Su Ran didn’t even have the heart to complain.

"Hehe, don’t look down on it. Even the God Emperor wouldn’t dare to underestimate it!"

After saying this, the old beggar’s expression turned serious and he stomped heavily on the ground.

"Click-Clack!"

Suddenly, the ground began to shake slightly. The iron plate sank, and a metallic tower emanating thundering light rose. The sight of this happening so quickly startled Su Ran who was standing nearby. The tower, with a diameter of about three meters and a height of five meters, made him doubt how it could have been concealed underground....

"Lord, this metallic tower is known as the Lightning Conductor Tower, which contains a capacity for storing thunder energy. Follow me, please."

The old beggar led Su Ran into the tower. In the center of the tower was a platform, facing Su Ran. An ancient character for ’thunder’ was engraved there, obviously being the core of the Guardian Thunder Tower. Above the platform was a groove with flashing thunder light, which was particularly noticeable.

"This groove is for placing thunder-related tools to store and use the energy for the Guardian Thunder Tower. Lord, you can place your Heavenly Thunder Bead in it now. Like I once mentioned, using the tribulation thunder from this object to nourish the Guardian Thunder Tower, the potential for future enhancement of this tower will be immeasurable!"

The Heavenly Thunder Bead as an energy storage....

The remaining time for the system’s protective shield was dwindling, and he had many enemies. Imperial warfare was imminent and what his territory lacked most was defensive power. In this situation, he had absolutely no reason for hesitations!

Immediately, Su Ran pulled out the Heavenly Thunder Bead and solemnly embedded it into the groove.

"Boom!"

The whole Lightning Storage Platform immediately erupted with dark blue light, illuminating the inside of the tower with bright, radiating waves that gave Su Ran a feeling of being in the open sea.

"Crack!"

The sound of tribulation thunder exploded, shooting out and being drawn into the tower. The electric energy strength it contained instantly amplified.

Eager to understand the properties of the Guardian Thunder Tower and why even the Architectural Grandmaster valued it so much, Su Ran opened the territory panel, curious yet clueless.
