Chapter 1008: Chapter 927 The Power of the Spirit Spring Jade Vase

"Heh heh, Old Brother Fan, just stay inside this stone for a while. I’m not serving you anymore,"

Having said that, Su Ran stopped paying attention to the black elf, took out the Elf Teleportation Stone, activated it directly, and with an Instant Movement, left the place, leaving the black elf there, staring in frustration, unable to break the Petrification seal no matter how hard he tried.

"Whoosh."

Su Ran appeared in the middle of Elf Forest, first carefully glancing at the stout trees around before confirming he had successfully escaped from the elf forbidden land. It was only then that he began to feel more confident, unconsciously straightening his spine.

"Haha, bullying NPCs sure feels freaking great!"

Just the thought of the black elf’s thunderous rage made Su Ran want to burst into laughter, but before he could fully gloat, he heard a distant roar of anger reaching him. The voice seemed familiar, but by the time it reached Su Ran, it had become almost inaudible, lacking any real intimidation.

"Kid, what can you do even if you’re angry? No matter how powerful you are, can you ignore the forbidden area’s seal?"

Su Ran didn’t care about the black elf’s deep hatred for him. With the seal in place, if he could have left, would he have stayed inside for so many years?

However, what surprised Su Ran was the black elf’s lung capacity; its roar continued for over a minute before gradually subsiding until it completely disappeared.

Su Ran waited a while but didn’t hear a second shout, feeling somewhat regretful. He had angered him so much, yet he could endure it—that was a waste of a potential ninja turtle.

"I wonder how much Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid this pool of Spirit Spring can produce—pretty exciting to think about."

Su Ran reached under himself, pulled out the Earth Spirit Liquid vial, and immediately checked its attributes.

[Spirit Spring Vial](Special)

A container for storing Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid, storage volume: 92/100.

Note: Indestructible, with a 30% increased drop chance upon death.

"Tsk tsk, it’s not full! Gotta say, this vial really has quite the appetite!"

Although Su Ran was mentally prepared, he was still slightly shocked by the current state of the Spirit Spring Vial.

"Nevertheless, the amount this time should be enough to identify the Skill Elixir."

Su Ran was full of expectation, deeply hoping that the elixir could cure his condition. At this very moment, his hope for survival had grown a little more.

But...

He knew that once the elixir transformed by the Dream-Seeking Mirror was successfully identified, trouble would come knocking. It wasn’t hard for Su Ran to guess that the military wouldn’t let go of this miraculous elixir. From the previous encounter, it was clear they were determined to have it, even leveling the opposing residential area in search of a tiny elixir—a truly exaggerated display.

Wait.

At last, Su Ran finally thought of a way to get his mother to move out, but it would have to wait for a feasible opportunity.

"Roar, it’s time to continue doing tasks for the elf queen. Dragon Soul Sand, the punishment of nature, and the secrets of the Ice Orb—oh my, I’m so busy, so busy!"

At this moment, Su Ran was experiencing both pain and joy. Others couldn’t get their hands on many tasks, but here he was, with a string of tasks all connected to the same NPC—just how annoying would that be?

No choice, I’d like to keep a low profile too, but my strength doesn’t allow it...

Having set the direction towards the Elf Palace, Su Ran hurried off, knowing that if the elf queen returned to her sleeping chamber, he wouldn’t have the chance to see her anytime soon.

On his way, Su Ran didn’t encounter any trouble, which seemed to indicate that the friendship of the elf race was playing a significant role, becoming his main support while traveling through Elf Forest. Of course, as for Black Abyss Lake, Su Ran wouldn’t go there for anything in the world. The treasure had been stolen by him, and just the mention of Black Abyss Lake made him feel inexplicably guilty—it was better not to seek out that kind of thrill.

"Haha, I, Hu Hansan, am back! I wonder if the elf queen has returned yet."

Seeing the Sky-reaching Vine again, Su Ran felt a surge of admiration. He wasn’t worried about the green-hatted player’s ability to attract monsters; if this were in a TV drama, that guy would definitely survive to the last episode! Wherever this fellow went, trouble followed, and how could he die so easily? The Elf Queen wanting to kill him without an arduous effort? Impossible!

Recalling the green-hatted player’s miraculous evasive techniques, Su Ran felt a burst of envy. If he could acquire that skill for himself, where in the vast world couldn’t he go?

"Whoosh."

Upon sensing Su Ran’s arrival, the Sky-reaching Vine quickly grew two tendrils that waved in mid-air, as if to greet Su Ran.

"The older it gets, the more spirited it becomes. The intelligence displayed by the Sky-reaching Vine is quite on par with an adult human," he remarked.

While responding to the vine’s greeting, Su Ran became contemplative; he thought back to the vine he had personally planted within his territory. When would it ever exhibit such an alluring poise?

However, Su Ran firmly believed that with his utmost efforts in cultivation, that vine would one day catch up to this behemoth and even surpass it!

By then, his territory would truly become an impenetrable stronghold; anyone with the idea of attacking his land had better weigh their strength first!

With the Sky-reaching Vine actively showing goodwill, Su Ran once again experienced the VIP supreme service. Riding the vine elevator, he quickly arrived at the Elf Palace.

Passing through the palace corridor and entering the inner sanctum, Su Ran saw Xue Wuqing and Banana waiting by the side. It wasn’t until that moment that he felt the solid sense of finding his organization, which was utterly absurd.

"Overturning Water, over here!"

Having waited for so long, Banana had lost all patience. Looking around the inner sanctum with disinterest, he happened to see Su Ran walking in from outside and immediately perked up, waving to Su Ran, "Brother, you finally escaped! I thought you were gone for good!"

Su Ran curled his lip in response.

"Brother, did you manage to escape so quickly because you didn’t encounter that guardian boss?"

Before Su Ran could come closer, Banana couldn’t wait to ask, "Tell me, how terrifying is it inside the forbidden area?"

"What? You haven’t been in?"

Su Ran looked at Banana with surprise. He hadn’t expected that this guy, having lived in the Elf Forest for so long, had never dared to venture into the dangerous territory. How cowardly could he be?

Players had unlimited lives; even death didn’t matter. With such a favorable condition, how could he know the excitement of the game without taking some risks?

"The forbidden area is so dangerous, only fools would go!" Banana blurted out, then realized he had said something wrong and quickly tried to correct himself, "Uh no, Overturning Water, brother, I wasn’t comparing you to fools. Damn it, why does this sound so awkward?"

"..."

Su Ran no longer wanted to listen to Banana; it was too infuriating. Without waiting for Banana to finish, Su Ran quickly recounted the harsh environment inside the forbidden area, though he omitted a thousand words about his experience with the Earth Spirit Liquid. Afterward, he asked with confusion, "Banana, what does this guardian boss that you mentioned look like? I didn’t see it."

"It’s a black elf, something starting with ’Di’... Oh, my memory..."

"The black elf is named Fandi, and its strength is extremely terrifying. Even the Elf Queen is reluctant to confront it. What’s more, the creature is utterly unpredictable and has a strong killing intent. If you had encountered him, the chance of escape would have been nearly zero."

Xue Wuqing took over the conversation and explained slowly, her expression turning serious.

What?

Black Elf, Fandi?

Only then did Su Ran feel a wave of fear wash over him. His actions just now were akin to lighting a candle in an outhouse, searching for trouble!
