Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 858 - 780: Special Skill Book

Blood Curse?

The sinister move that has grievously wounded the Skeletal Centipede!

But what was the purpose of this Curse Demon using this skill just before dying...

Could it be intending to make itself and the Skeletal Centipede end up with an exploding bladder?

But then, why don’t I feel anything at all?

Su Ran felt uneasy and subconsciously touched his thigh, but found nothing abnormal. He couldn’t help but grumble inwardly, "To die is one thing, but to leave others feeling so disturbed before dying, that’s damn sneaky!"

"Eh? Overturning Water bro, why didn’t your pack explode?"

Upon hearing the Curse Demon’s curse before its death, Banana had been scared away from Su Ran, fearing the explosion would harm him too. But after waiting for a moment and seeing nothing happen to Su Ran, he couldn’t help but ask out loud.

"Screw off! Who curses people like that?"

Su Ran glanced at Banana, annoyed, and said nonchalantly, "Maybe that Curse Demon was just a cooked duck that had nothing left but a tough beak; it’s no big deal, don’t make a fuss over it. Come on, let’s see what loot this BOSS has dropped."

Having said that, Su Ran walked toward the corpse of the Curse Demon, but before he had taken more than a few steps, he heard a series of barks and looked up to see Wang Cai running towards him from a distance.

After the Curse Demon perished, the Blood Monsters naturally followed suit, and with these monsters no longer restraining him, Wang Cai was finally able to escape.

"Oh right, leave this corpse for the centipede to replenish its body!"

Wang Cai sat at Su Ran’s feet, wagging his tail. That’s when Su Ran remembered the heavily injured Skeletal Centipede and summoned it immediately.

Seeing the pitiful state of the Skeletal Centipede, Su Ran felt a twinge of compassion.

After pondering for a moment, Su Ran took out a stalk of premium Sea Tomb Grass and threw it into the Skeletal Centipede’s mouth. The effect of the Sea Tomb Grass was miraculous, and in almost no time at all, the Skeletal Centipede had recovered as if nothing had happened, though its spirit still hadn’t fully perked up.

"Go ahead, indulge in the corpse, don’t be shy with me."

Su Ran gestured to the corpse of the Curse Demon and said generously.

"Sss, sss..."

When the Skeletal Centipede saw the corpse, it immediately showed a ferocious look, quickly approached, and started munching noisily.

"Damn it, not again! That sound is seriously killing me!"

Banana covered his ears forcefully, feeling like this sound was specifically designed to torment him! He couldn’t even imagine if such a demonic noise appeared in a tournament fight, would he collapse on the spot?

"Overturning Water bro, I’m going to lay low for a bit. Let me know when this damn centipede is done eating... and don’t take that Blood Curse lightly, it’s a life-threatening hidden danger!"

After hurrying through his words, Banana quickly left the place, staying well away from the Skeletal Centipede. Only then did he begin feeling a lot better, even his soul seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Blood Curse..."

Seeing Banana bring up the topic again, Su Ran sank into thought. He recalled the demonic grin of the Curse Demon as it stared at him intently just before death, using its last breath to impose the curse on him. The more Su Ran pondered, the more he felt that something was wrong. Coupled with the grating sound from the Skeletal Centipede, it made his skin crawl.

"Let’s try and see what happens!"

Su Ran wasn’t in the mood to check the good things the Curse Demon might have dropped; he was too distracted by the mass of flesh and blood in his bladder, feeling as if a time bomb was ticking away inside him, causing him immense irritation.

When Su Ran had steadied his mind, he took the smallest piece of flesh in hand. It was a fragment sheared off by the Ice Vortex, suitable for experimentation and unlikely to cause major trouble.

"Boom."

However, just as the minced flesh left the bladder, it exploded in an instant. Since the amount was too small, it didn’t really harm Su Ran, but it reduced the durability of his ornamental gloves significantly.

"As expected, it exploded!"

The small blast startled Su Ran, breaking him into a cold sweat. Luckily, he had been cautious and hadn’t rashly pulled out that large lump of flesh, otherwise, no amount of lives would have been enough to compensate!

Indeed, the Power of the Curse from the dying Demon of Curse had remained on the flesh. As for why it didn’t explode on the spot, it might be because his bladder space belonged to a two-dimensional space where time stood still, so the Power of the Blood Curse couldn’t trigger the explosion there and then.

A timed bomb, huh...

Su Ran mused for a moment, a glint of excitement in his eye. He didn’t doubt that an explosion of the large lump of flesh would be shocking. Danger hid opportunity, and if utilized properly, this special item could become the tool for his comeback!

"Invincible + detonate, heh heh heh..."

Su Ran smiled sneakingly; this perfect combo would surely become his enemies’ nightmare!

Finding a coup de grâce by chance, Su Ran felt an unspeakable excitement. He decisively merged all the pieces of flesh together. The bigger the timed bomb, the stronger its explosive force would be, and the more certain his turnaround would become!

Probably only Su Ran could turn a lethal crisis into his trump card. If the Demon of Curse could perceive this from beyond, it would probably die of anger all over again...

"Brother Demon of Curse, I truly appreciate it, ha. Gifting me such a big present even in death; that’s thoughtful, wasn’t all for nothing, killing you!"

Su Ran nodded in satisfaction and continued talking to himself, "Even in death, his body feeds the centipedes. Where else would you find such a good guy?"

"Wonder what kind of loot this guy dropped."

Looking at the unrecognizable corpse, Su Ran strode over. After flipping the body, he discovered the war spoils contributed by the Demon of Curse.

A piece of armor flickering with golden light, an amulet, a Skill Book, and a Pet-catching Scroll. The rest were mere common potions, which were outside of Su Ran’s concern.

"A Skill Book?"

Su Ran’s eyes lit up with joy. Just as he was about to bend down to pick it up, he was interrupted by a hurried voice.

"Overturning Water, don’t rush, let me pick it up!"

Banana hurried over, no longer caring about the soul-crushing chewing sounds, and looked eagerly at the spoils below.

"Haha, a Pet-catching Scroll!"

Indeed, everyone’s focus was different. For Su Ran, the Pet-catching Scroll was as good as nonexistent, but to Banana, it was a rare treasure.

"Wow, my luck isn’t too bad, it’s a golden-grade Pet-catching Scroll!"

Just as Banana was getting excited, he suddenly remembered something and turned his hopeful gaze towards Su Ran, pleading, "Overturning Water, you already have a bunch of pets, you’re not going to compete with me for this scroll, are you?"

"Don’t give me that look; I’m getting goosebumps all over, just take it!"

Being stared at by a grown man like that made Su Ran shiver. He bowed his head and picked up the Skill Book, hoping earnestly that it contained a General Skill suitable for him.

After all, this quest was triggered by him, so this Skill Book might as well be tailor-made for him...

"Sss... General Special Skill, ’Blood Curse’!"
