"What a pity."

Su Ran discovered that, as usual, this fifth layer of space was incredibly vast, but the floating tomb that he had hollowed out had not refreshed. At this, Su Ran felt an immense regret and murmured softly to himself, "If only I could obtain another set of Floating Arrays..."

With no desire to linger in this eerie space, Su Ran quickly led Wang Cai through this layer and arrived at the sixth layer of space.

Here, bloody red filled the sight, even the ground could not escape being stained red. This caused Su Ran to feel a slight symptom of blood dizziness, his body swaying a bit.

"Let’s get out of here quickly!"

Su Ran dared not stay too long and headed towards the final layer. But before he had taken a few steps, he heard several dull sounds coming from the ground, and suddenly, a huge crack appeared. A gigantic Skeleton Warrior emerged from it, its entire body blood-red, standing nearly three meters tall, tightly clutching a slender Bone Spear, and without hesitation, it struck at Su Ran.

"Woof woof woof!"

Wang Cai’s reflexes far exceeded those of normal people. Its body hair stood on end, and its sharp fangs were bared, waiting for Su Ran’s attack command. It was clear that Wang Cai did not fear this blood-colored skeleton, its pride at being of the Dark Gold Rank was without question.

"This is bad!"

Seeing this situation, how could Su Ran not realize what he had overlooked? He did not instruct Wang Cai to dodge, but instead immediately stripped himself bare, revealing his Undead identity.

"Crack?"

The blood-colored skeleton, seeing the sudden change in Su Ran’s role, halted its attack abruptly, retracting its Bone Spear and scratching its head, seemingly losing the urge to continue attacking Su Ran.

"Phew, that was close. Good thing I reacted quickly, or I might have accidentally injured a comrade!"

The Soul Fire in the eye sockets of the blood-colored skeleton flickered. After withdrawing its Bone Spear, it turned around and burrowed back into the ground.

The tense atmosphere returned to calm, and only then did Wang Cai relax its taut body and start wagging its tail.

"Damn, if you keep scaring me like this, you’re going to cause me a heart attack!"

Su Ran could not help but grumble inwardly, his face becoming somewhat pale, obviously frightened. Thankfully, the gaming capsule had protective effects on the real body, otherwise, people like him with severe illnesses could not endure such stimulation.

"Tap tap tap!"

After the giant Skeleton Warrior completely disappeared, Su Ran finally regained the ability to move. He returned Wang Cai to the pet space and tiptoed over, stomping forcefully on the crack a few times, feeling an inexplicable thrill in his heart.

"Skeleton Saint, you have to hold on, don’t die on me just yet. I still haven’t finished my quest..."

Su Ran had no time to waste and directly stepped onto the teleportation array leading to the top of the tower. In his view, the sooner he completed the mission, the sooner he could put his worries behind him, to avoid complications arising from delays.

"Huh?"

Su Ran, appearing at the top layer, unexpectedly found that the pitiful Skeleton Saint had already fallen apart, with bones scattered all around. The enormous skull at the center was particularly conspicuous.

"Oh, come on, it can’t really be dead, can it?"

Su Ran felt he had jinxed it, as if his curse had become reality. If the Skeleton Saint really had come to any harm, it would mean the Undead race had completely lost the hope of rising again and achieving glory.

This was not the outcome Su Ran wished to see.

"Damn, isn’t that the Saint’s pelvis?"

Su Ran had barely taken a few steps when he was blocked by a strange bone. He gave it one glance and understood the special status of this bone.

There was no helping it; when you use your pelvis too often, it’s hard not to become acquainted with it!

"Skeleton Saint, don’t blame..."

Su Ran glanced at that enormous skull and carefully crouched down, reaching toward the giant pelvis in front of him, hoping to earn a little extra on the side.

However.

To Su Ran’s disappointment, the inner space of the Skeleton Saint’s pelvis was utterly empty, not even a bottle of healing potion to be felt, let alone any magical artifacts. For such a mighty Skeleton Saint, he was indeed very poor.

Su Ran put away his thoughts of looting and walked towards the central skull. He remembered that when he had awakened the Skeleton Saint before, it was necessary to remove the seal talisman from its forehead. But now, without the talisman, how was he supposed to awaken it?

Suddenly.

A ridiculous idea popped into Su Ran’s mind. What if he stuffed this skull and the scattered bones into his bladder and then reassembled them after leaving the Demon Tower? Wouldn’t that save him a lot of trouble?

No sooner thought than done, Su Ran walked up to the skull with bold carelessness, his spine forcefully propelling his pelvis to crash heavily into the Skeleton Saint’s skull.

However.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound echoed, the skull didn’t budge an inch, but Su Ran’s pelvis almost got dislocated.

"What’s going on? Why can all the other bones be put inside, but not this skull?"

Su Ran was perplexed and muttered to himself, "Could it be because there is a soul inside this skull?" ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Skeleton Warrior, could you move your pelvis away first?"

Out of the blue, a resonant voice sounded beside Su Ran, startling him. After realizing what had happened, his face changed color, and he hurriedly retreated a few steps to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.

"Ahem, respected Saint, when did you awaken?"

Su Ran asked somewhat unnaturally, even his speech lacked confidence.

"From the moment you touched my pelvis."

The skeleton skull looked at Su Ran expressionlessly, its voice icy cold. It was unclear whether the Skeleton Saint was pleased or angry, but judging from the current situation, it seemed likely that its fury was about to erupt uncontrollably.

Cough cough.

For the first time, Su Ran had the feeling of not knowing where to put himself, as if he were a man caught cheating by his wife, and he felt utterly embarrassed. However, Su Ran was somewhat relieved thinking it was good that there was nothing in the BOSS’s pelvis, otherwise, how would he return it without angering this super BOSS, which was a problem in itself.

The Skeleton Saint didn’t seem to want to make things difficult for Su Ran. Its Soul Fire erupted with a bright light within its eye sockets and slowly rose into the air. The mouth emitted a strange sound, and the scattered skeletal remains, as if receiving a command, shot toward the skeleton skull as swiftly as arrows.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."

All the bones began to automatically assemble and build themselves upon reaching within a meter of the skull. In a few breaths, an immensely imposing Skeleton Saint appeared in Su Ran’s field of vision.

A commanding aura surged from the Skeleton Saint’s frame, causing the entire space to tremble. But before it could revel in its might, the chains on the ground seemed to come alive; instantly, they wrapped around the Skeleton Saint at the center, binding its huge frame and rendering it immovable.

The Skeleton Saint roared up to the heavens in indignation. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free from the resounding iron chains until, finally, exhausted and weakened, it had no choice but to accept this unfair destiny.
