Chapter 831: Chapter 753: The Return of the Great White Shark (Thanks to the generous support of the tycoon boss from【Small Matters Many Questions】!)
"Swoosh!"
While the effect of the Calamity Avoiding Charm was still active, Su Ran transported directly to the foot of Demonic Treasure Mountain, precisely to the bottom of the swamp pool, without alarming any player on the bank, and not even a ripple stirred on the surface of the swamp pool.
"Just left the deep sea, now entering the swamp pool, today is really all about bonding with water~!"
The visibility in the swamp pool was far from as clear as in the deep sea, with silt clinging around, but under the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe, a formidable weapon for cutting through water, that wasn’t an issue at all!
Looking at the Swamp Fire Toads swimming back and forth around him, and those thin Swamp Leeches, Su Ran suddenly felt an inexplicable kinship.
You should know, these swamp monsters were renewable forces that helped guard his territory—pure and natural, flawless!
Su Ran hadn’t been roaming for long before he found the rightful owner turned into a block of ice, the Great White Shark.
"Little Sharky, your master is here, aren’t you going to break the ice and greet me eagerly?"
Su Ran smirked, pulled out a newbie hoe, and started chipping away at the huge block of ice without any courtesy.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
As Su Ran wasn’t a novice at this ice block, he expertly carved out the fierce visage of the Great White Shark, and with the final piece of broken ice knocked away, the Great White Shark finally awoke from its slumber.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura emanated from the Great White Shark, its massive skeletal frame floating in the mud, looking down at Su Ran with piercing eyes. After a long moment, it spoke in a deep voice, "Undead Skeleton, why have you awakened this king from slumber once again?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ran immediately wanted to spray a faceful of sarcastic remarks at the Great White Shark.
Now part of the undead, still not knowing to hold back a bit, always putting on airs, brother hasn’t even shown off by using your hide as a carpet, this haughty Great White Shark, truly suffering by caring too much about face even in death!
"Senior, I’ve come this time to deliver a task."
Su Ran got straight to the point, no unnecessary flattery. He was close to becoming his own subordinate, so why bother with all this pretense?
"You’re here to deliver a task?"
The Great White Shark echoed back, its tone filled with utter shock, even the Soul Fire in its eye sockets jittered a few times, seemingly doubting Su Ran’s words.
"Senior, just look."
With a strong desire to recruit the Great White Shark under his banner, Su Ran had no time for small talk. He immediately pulled out the toothy fellow and handed it over.
"What?!"
Upon seeing the familiar set of teeth, the Great White Shark was so shocked it nearly split its eye sockets. After a moment of soul-shaking, it slowly lowered its body to carefully examine the Sharp Teeth.
"Senior, take it quickly, this thing is too heavy, I can hardly hold on..."
Su Ran struggled to hold up the massive Sharp Teeth, even the bones in his arm trembled slightly. If the Great White Shark didn’t take over soon, he was about ready to throw it down.
"Indeed, it is the divine weapon lost by this king, hmm, still the same flavor..."
Ignoring Su Ran’s words, the Great White Shark nostalgically muttered to itself. Just as Su Ran was about to lose his grip, the shark finally exclaimed, "Rise!"
As the words were spoken, Su Ran instantly felt his hand lighten, as Sharp Teeth emitted a chilling white light and began to float on its own, drifting towards the gaping jaws of the Great White Shark.
"Crack!"
The Great White Shark surged forward and clamped down in a fierce bite, its fangs merging into one, returning to its original form and revealing an even more ferocious and fearsome demeanor! When its lower jaw parted, the grating sound of teeth sent shivers down Su Ran’s spine, making him acutely aware of the immense aura radiating from the Great White Shark, which had escalated by roughly thirty percent!
Even as a carcass, it could still strike terror into the hearts of many—what incredible strength, what dominant presence!
Truly worthy of its infamous reputation as the sovereign predator of the seas, the Great White Shark!
"Hmph!"
The Great White Shark, rubbing its newly restored fangs, unleashed the hatred and grudges buried in its heart for tens of thousands of years. Its rage nearly overwhelmed its wits, and even its fearsome countenance twisted somewhat. In almost an instant, its aura soared to its peak. To Su Ran, it felt like an atomic bomb about to explode.
Unable to bear such immense pressure, Su Ran staggered backward several meters before feeling some relief. Not just Su Ran, the Swamp Fire Toads and Leeches were even less capable, hastily fleeing from the spot, desperately swimming away to avoid the wrath of the Great White Shark.
With a cold snort from the Great White Shark, its robust caudal vertebra pounded heavily into the mud, raising a massive spurt of sludge, turning the whole mud pool murky.
Yet, miraculously, not a single speck of mud appeared on the Great White Shark’s body. It was like a lotus that emerges from the mud untainted, strikingly conspicuous.
After venting its emotions, the Great White Shark’s mood stabilized considerably. Once the swamp returned to its calm state, it fixed a fiery gaze on Su Ran without uttering a word.
Because the Great White Shark’s gaze was so direct, Su Ran found it somewhat unbearable, his thigh bones unconsciously squeezing together as if afraid of revealing too much.
"Undead Skeleton, you have done this king a great favor!"
Before the awkward atmosphere lasted too long, the Great White Shark spoke with a sigh, "Regaining my weapon is an unexpected joy! This has allowed this king’s strength to recover more than seventy percent! Alas, with this wreck of a body, I no longer have the face to return to the deep sea, why not..."
Hearing this pause in the Great White Shark’s speech, Su Ran knew the moment of truth was coming!
Great White Shark, if not now, then when?!
"This king has observed this place for a long time, and although it’s a swamp, it’s a good refuge from the world, not bad at all."
The Great White Shark stared intently at Su Ran, its eyes flashing with an indescribable light, "Little Skeleton, this area is within your territory, and you, little fellow, are quite to this king’s liking. Rather than going elsewhere, why not come under your wing and stay in this swampy pool!"
"Ding! The sovereign predator of the seas, the Great White Shark, wishes to join Skeleton Lord, do you agree?"
The delightful system prompt sounded, immediately filling Su Ran with indescribable excitement. He hurriedly agreed, his voice trembling slightly with the rush of the moment—he had been busy for so long just for this!
"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton on completing the Lost Weapon quest and receiving the reward: the allegiance of the Great White Shark!"
"Ding! Congratulations to Skeleton Lord for taming the Great White Shark, awarded 20,000 experience points!"
The Great White Shark had finally become one of his own generals!
It’s so damn thrilling!
Su Ran had mentally prepared for such an outcome, but when the day truly arrived, he was still so excited he could hardly express himself, especially after witnessing the Great White Shark’s terrifying power firsthand, he could scarcely believe this maritime ruler would voluntarily submit to him!
It was only when the quest reward was secured, set in stone, that Su Ran’s heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled back into his stomach.
