As for the turmoil the Skeleton Saint could stir up in the God-Demon Continent, Su Ran was more than happy to witness it. The reason? Not wanting to miss out on any excitement—what a bunch of idiots!

To avoid exposing his identity, Su Ran promptly removed his Illusion Demon black robe and revealed his skeletal body, which didn’t seem out of place amidst the group of skeletons.

It’s worth mentioning that Su Ran consciously retreated to the rear of the Skeleton Saint to prevent the boss from seeing the treasure trove inside his bladder and getting any murderous ideas about loot—that would be bad news.

Before long, under the leadership of the Skeleton Saint, the now sizable skeleton army followed him to the third-floor space.

At this time, the members of the Tiger Supreme guild were still fervently grinding against the Skeleton Warriors, with the sounds of fighting and killing echoing non-stop throughout the area, creating an incredibly heated atmosphere. Facing a dozen Skeleton Warriors, these players actually had quite an advantage. Through their coordination, they had driven the Skeleton Warriors into a corner, leaving them in dire straits. This made the players fight even harder.

Clearly, these players were the senior members of Tiger Supreme, an indispensable backbone of the guild. Their ability to grind Skeleton Warriors so effortlessly on the third floor was a testament to their team’s strength.

"Hm?"

One player, engrossed in the battle, accidentally caught sight of a large number of high-level skeletons appearing in the space. Taking a closer look, he was surprised to find the lowest-tier Undead Skeletons mixed in with this chaotic group, instantly piquing his curiosity so much that he even forgot to keep up his attacks.

"Guys, look! High-level skeletons have spawned here!"

"Eh? It’s true!"

"Damn, these are skeleton types never seen on the third floor before; they look premium. Could they have come down from the fourth floor?"

The speaking player was visibly excited, scanning the horde of the Undead and conveniently filtering out Su Ran, the low-tier Undead Skeleton.

"Tsk, tsk, your imagination is really something. The Undead can move across different areas now? Can the system rules be broken that easily? I’ve been in this Demon Tower for over a year; how come I don’t know about this? Please, think before you speak!"

"Hey, do you think this could be some kind of special plot mission randomly refreshed by the system? To stumble upon such a windfall, haha, we’re gonna be rich, brothers!"

"Damn, have these Skeleton Warriors been taking stimulants? How did they suddenly get so fierce?"

"Hurry over and help! We’re struggling to hold back these Skeleton Warriors!"

The shield-wielding players at the frontline were wailing in distress as they felt the pressure from the Skeleton Warriors mounting: their power had increased by at least thirty percent, and even their attack speed had improved significantly, nearly blowing away their shields with their forceful strikes.

"Hahaha, you guys have the nerve to say that? Did you skip breakfast or what? Just a few warriors and you’re struggling?"

A warrior laughed heartily and, with no concern, used Jump Cut to dive into the pile of Skeleton Warriors, hoping to blast them aside and reduce the pressure on the shield players.

However.

No sooner had the warrior player landed than he received an enthusiastic welcome from the Skeleton Warriors. Before he could even cry out for help, he was cleaved into a corpse by several scythes, falling on the spot.

This ghastly death, even more, jarring to the nerves of the other players, along with the relentless advance of the high-level skeletons, had them smelling the scent of death and their complexions changed dramatically.

"Damn it, this quest is too difficult; it’s not for us to handle. Call the guild leader over here!"

"Are you dumb? If the guild leader comes, do you think we’ll have any left for ourselves? Probably not even soup! I say we go all in; maybe we can take down these skeletons. If we score a legendary god-tier piece of equipment, won’t we be set for life?"

One of the mage players was unwilling to give up on this rare task of a millennium. First, he assessed their team’s strength and then sized up the skeletons, feeling they could give it a try—so what if they died in the process!

"If you want to kill them, kill them yourself, I give up!"

Under the immense pressure of the Skeleton Warriors, the shield-bearing player completely lost his nerve. To save his own life, he abandoned the front lines without so much as a glance at his teammates’ shocked and angry looks and fled toward the second level of the space.

"What the fuck, coward! Don’t you ever dream of joining my team again!"

Seeing deserters within the group, the team leader was furious and immediately kicked the deserter out. But before he could say anything more, cries of agony erupted once again from the team.

With gaps opening in the frontline, the remaining three shield-bearing players felt their pressure double. They couldn’t withstand the might of the Skeleton Warrior’s scythe attacks, and their defenses were breached, leading to swift casualties.

"Let’s get out of here, this is just too damned bizarre!"

Eventually, the team leader became aware of the abnormal situation with the Skeleton Warriors. Their defensive capabilities should never have allowed them to die so quickly. This could only mean one thing—that the appearance of these special skeletons had triggered some unpredictable change.

However.

By the time they decided to retreat, it was already too late.

The Skeleton Saint had led the Army of the Undead to encircle the group of players. Fueled by its hatred for the Human Race, it wouldn’t allow them to leave so easily. At the Skeleton Saint’s low growl and a flick of its huge coffin measure, the high-ranking skeletons instantly went into a frenzy. With clattering bones, they pounced on the players. The sight would have scared the faint-hearted into wetting their pants!

"What the fuck is going on here?"

The players were dumbfounded by the scene. This task wasn’t following any of the usual procedures—no narrative flow, just straight to a lethal attack. What kind of mission was this?

Faced with such an unexpected turn of events, the players lost their rhythm. Till their deaths, they wouldn’t understand why these Undead had suddenly started an uprising.

Without a doubt.

Under the personal command of the Skeleton Saint, the Undead race deployed 120% of their strength. The players couldn’t resist such a ferocious onslaught. Shrieks filled the air, and before long, they were utterly routed, with bodies strewn all over the ground.

"My lord, wait a moment before you go; let me clear the battlefield first."

Once all the players were dead, Su Ran dropped a sentence without waiting for the Skeleton Saint’s reply. He rushed to the bodies, pulled out the Corpse Soul Pot, and began collecting the death energy. Within a short time, he obtained several crystals, but it was a pity they were all commonplace items. Su Ran felt a tinge of disappointment in his heart.

"Skeleton Warrior, that pot in your hand is quite interesting. What sort of treasure is it?"

The Skeleton Saint watched Su Ran busily moving about on top of the pile of bodies but didn’t get angry. After all, they were on friendly terms, so it could tolerate this small request.

"This is just a trifle that’s not worth mentioning."

After gathering the death energy, Su Ran chuckled, held his hands over his bladder, and trotted back to the team. His posture was quite peculiar and as comical as it could be.

The Skeleton Saint gave Su Ran a strange look but said nothing more, leading the Army of the Undead toward the next level of the Demon Tower.
