Chapter 1016: Chapter 935: Can’t Stop Thinking About It (Third Update)

"Undead Skeleton!!!"

As the saying goes, enemies are particularly hostile upon meeting. When the dark elf saw Su Ran appear, he immediately erupted into a roar that shocked everyone, much like a volcanic eruption.

"Damn, can you keep it down? You want to scare someone to death?"

Su Ran complained, even exaggeratingly rubbing his earlobes, showing no alarm at the dark elf’s overwhelming intent to kill and glaring at him with dissatisfaction. "Brother Fandi, this noise pollution is too much, don’t you know? Have you lost all the basic decency of an elf since you became a tree?"

"Hahaha..."

Banana burst out laughing, venting the nervous tension from within. "Overturning Water, we really owe you one. I was almost killed by this BOSS just now!"

Xue Wuqing was still fiercely fighting against the tree roots in front of her, without any spare time to look back at what had just happened. This meant that Banana’s heroic rescue went completely unnoticed by the damsel in distress, eliminating any possibility of her reciprocating in any traditional sense...

"Skeleton thief, go to hell!"

Su Ran’s arrival provided an outlet for the dark elf’s fury, drawing all his hatred towards himself. As for the elven queen, she was no longer his target of attention. In the dark elf’s eyes, only this detestable thief remained: the Undead Skeleton!

Everything he had suffered today was thanks to this damned skeleton!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The ground cracked open, and dozens of smaller tree roots burst from beneath the earth, all reaching toward Su Ran with the intent not to rest until they tore him to pieces.

"Tsk, tsk, so enthusiastic, greeting me the moment I arrive—what a special treatment!"

Amidst the overpowering assault, Su Ran remained expressionless. In the astonished gazes of the onlookers, he turned his body and calmly wriggled through the gaps.

Letting explosions rage violently behind him, he was untouched, a state that mere mortals could not achieve.

"Jeez, Overturning Water’s evasive maneuvers are outrageously sneaky!"

Banana watched, dumbfounded. He knew he couldn’t have pulled that off himself!

"Indeed."

For once, Xue Wuqing agreed with Banana. She was stunned by Su Ran’s incredible moves, feeling as if his appearance was solely to make a brief cameo before collecting his boxed lunch...

Seeing the Undead Skeleton escape from his grasp once again, the dark elf was so furious he took it out on the ten shield-bearing Skeleton Warriors. All the tree roots coiled and tightened around them, creaking loudly. With the same brutality used against the elven queen, he smashed the skeletons onto the ground over and over again in a simple yet violent manner, painting a rather bloody scene. Not until the skeletons were reduced to debris did the tree roots finally stop.

"My goodness, how deep must this grudge be?"

Banana felt a chill, sincerely hoping Su Ran wouldn’t foolishly come barging in again.

"Beep beep beep."

In this tense moment, Banana’s message alert sounded. He instinctively checked and saw that it was from Overturning Water.

"Banana, ask the elven queen whether the Wood-Corroding Sky Nail works on the undead or not."

"Got it!"

Banana discreetly retreated a bit, checked his surroundings, and then softly called out to the elven queen above: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The elven queen was busy dealing with the remaining tree roots. Hearing the call from below, she glanced down. "Banana Warrior, what is it?"

"My Queen, I wish to know if the Wood-Corroding Sky Nail has any lethal effect on the Undead?"

"No."

The elven queen was taken aback, but the intelligent ice-and-snow queen immediately understood Banana’s intention. She glanced at the dark elf in the distance and then replied softly, "Tell the Skeleton Warrior that the Wood-Corroding Sky Nail will be his to handle. Without the threat of the nail, Fandi is no concern to me!"

...

"Banana, that kid, what’s taking him so long just to ask a question."

Su Ran cautiously peeked into the crack but before he could get a clear look at the situation inside the chamber, a long root shot out and swept towards him.

"Damn it, why is this BOSS still targeting me!"

Su Ran hurriedly dodged, retreating several steps, and only when the roots retracted did he relax a bit.

Just then, a message from Su Ran’s friend came through. He opened it and burst out laughing.

As he had thought, the Wood-Corroding Sky Nail targeted wood-based physiology, and for someone with an Undead constitution like his, it was completely ineffective. Having confirmed this, Su Ran could now put his plan into action.

...

"Old hag, with you, a blind woman, allowing this Undead skeleton to act as a messenger, the elven race deserves such a disaster!"

The dark elf didn’t rush to attack everyone but took the opportunity to fully recover his lost vitality. It seemed that the crazy offensive had not been without cost to him.

"Not killing you outright was my greatest mistake; I allowed you to obtain an evil artifact in the forbidden zone. However, today, even with the Wood-Corroding Sky Nail, I will still kill you!"

The elven queen had always been wary of the Wood-Corroding Sky Nail. After clearing the roots, she did not rush to attack but coldly stared at the dark elf, her eyes filled with regret.

"Hahaha, ignorant woman! You’re sheltering this Undead skeleton, and one day, you will surely fall at his hands!"

The dark elf had been there before; he knew the count.

"I only know that it was the Skeleton Warrior who saved our elven race, and you are following in Wen Liu’s old footsteps! Without the body of an elf, you don’t deserve to be called a member of the elven race!"

The elven queen realized that the dark elf was trying to sow internal division and exacerbate conflicts, which immediately angered her. No longer bothering with words, she unleashed several lasers towards the giant tree.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the elven queen take the initiative, the dark elf had no choice but to end his recovery, intertwining branches into a shield in front of him, blocking the lasers.

But while the dark elf was distracted, Su Ran once again slipped through the crack.

Under Su Ran’s powerful taunting aura, the dark elf immediately abandoned the elven queen, locking his hatred solely on Su Ran. Roots wildly sprouted, turning the ground into gullies.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Several explosions sounded from the ground as roots burst forth, surrounding Su Ran.

This time the dark elf was more cautious and first blocked the wall crack to prevent the Undead skeleton from escaping again.

However.

What the dark elf didn’t expect was that before his killing move was set, countless vines surged in from the crack outside, entangling with the roots. How could the dark elf be a match for the Sky-reaching Vines? Thus, the new roots quickly became damaged and died.
