"It was a close call, the Skeleton Saint finally showed its might. That was too close, almost let those players escape!"

Seeing the Skeleton Saint taking action at the critical moment, Su Ran felt the weight that he had been carrying finally drop.

"Damn, truly worthy of being the ultimate BOSS, when it doesn’t make a move, you hold your breath, but once it does, it’s earth-shattering!"

Su Ran looked at the Skeleton Saint with intense admiration, updating his understanding of the ultimate BOSS’s strength. For this mass attack move, the trigger rate for the knockdown effect must be 100%; none of the players were spared, they all got hit, and that was the main cause for the wipeout.

Dominating!

With the players’ army completely annihilated, this was precisely the outcome Su Ran was hoping to see. At this moment, he couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. He was just enjoying the show, and the number of players slain, as recorded by the system, had already reached 19,600—a significant step closer to the one million mark!

The return of the Skeleton Saint was a day of great joy for the Army of the Undead, as could be seen from their swarming out of their nest. Su Ran too felt joy from their actions. The rise of the Army of the Undead cast reflected glory on him!

Su Ran glanced over at the Skeleton Saint, surrounded by layers of the Army of the Undead, and noticed it hadn’t yet returned to its colossal size. This was a rare opportunity; he should be able to use it to bamboozle the players one more time.

With that in mind, Su Ran quietly dropped a bombshell in the world channel and then silently watched the excitement unfold.

"Haha, I was lucky enough to kill a skeleton BOSS in the Dark Abyss and snagged myself an epic dark-gold necklace, jackpot!"

Doing good deeds without seeking recognition was Su Ran’s usual style—accomplishing his goals and leaving without seeking fame or glory.

"Holy crap, for real? That luck is simply unbeatable!"

"Oh my god, an epic dark-gold necklace, how much is that worth? Dude, showing off like that is not cool. If we meet, you ought to split it with me. Give me 10,000 gold coins, and we’ll call it even!"

"Buddy above, you must be from the countryside. Such a precious necklace, and you think it’s worth that little? You’ve really never seen the world! I won’t ask for much, just give me 5,000 gold coins, and it’s all good~~~"

"Damn, stop dreaming!"

"It’s a pity, I only looted a level 30 gold-quality piece of gear; it simply can’t compare!"

"Talking about dark-gold necklaces and gold-quality gear, these Undead are dropping such great stuff? Damn, I missed out! No way, I have to go take a look, might just hit it rich!"

"Damn, you’re thinking just like me. Wanna team up? It’s better to look out for each other with a group, and we can split any loot!"

...

With Su Ran’s intentional provocation, the chatter about the Undead BOSS in the world channel exploded. It attracted players’ desires for adventure and wealth. It’s easy to imagine that the number of players entering the Dark Abyss will increase exponentially. As for Su Ran, he can continue to profit while lying down—a surefire business with guaranteed profits. As long as players participated, the death toll would keep rising!

For that one million death count, Su Ran was all in. What did it matter if he had to be the enemy of all the players in the world to get his hands on the Dream-Seeking Mirror?

Life holds hope; in death, all is but empty words!

After laying out his long line, it was just a matter of waiting for the fish to bite. Su Ran took back Wang Cai and stripped away all his identifiable features, becoming an inconspicuous skeleton among the Undead. He didn’t have time for pleasantries with the Skeleton Saint, gripping the Corpse Soul Pot as he dived into the pile of corpses, frantically absorbing the senseless souls.

It wasn’t long before Su Ran had gathered several hundred crystals, but before he could finish collecting them, the corpses were mercilessly refreshed by the system. Now only the pit within a twenty-meter radius remained, bearing witness to the fierceness of the battle that had just taken place.

"Skeleton Warrior, didn’t you say that this place had been occupied by humans? Why doesn’t that seem to be the case?"

The Skeleton Saint looked at Su Ran, who was busy at work, and immediately questioned him. It had carved a bloody path through to the dark abyss, at great cost to its servants, only to discover that this was all a hoax, which infuriated the Skeleton Saint beyond measure.

"Ah?"

Su Ran was dumbfounded, completely at a loss for how to respond. Who could have foreseen that Withered Fish would pull a ruse like this, leaving not a soul behind? Even if Su Ran tried to explain, the Skeleton Saint wouldn’t believe him! fгeewebnovёl.com

Withered Fish, oh Withered Fish, you’ve gotten me into a terrible mess!!!

"This..."

Su Ran had no idea how to explain the situation, and for the moment was rendered speechless.

And in this awkward moment, a massive number of players appeared above the dark abyss. The hovering stone and wooden chains were packed with people, and not just that, countless more players appeared along the winding stone walls, forming a long line.

The sight of tens of thousands of players logging in at the same time was nothing short of spectacular!

Under the full force of the mage players, a barrage of magic attacks rained down from above, and many warrior players even threw massive rocks. From Su Ran’s perspective looking up, it was indistinguishable from a catastrophe.

"Damn it, it’s an ambush!"

Su Ran’s heart skipped a beat and he panicked, but even in this critical moment of life and death, he didn’t forget to explain, "Your Majesty, I didn’t lie, did I? It’s these cunning humans, they’ve all lain in ambush! Save me..."

It’s always cool under the big tree; faced with this 360-degree, no-blind-spot magic assault, Su Ran had no place to hide and had no choice but to stick close to the Skeleton Saint, hoping for his protection.

"Such insignificant tricks, and they think they can make me submit? Hahaha..."

The Skeleton Saint laughed uproariously, facing the massive onslaught without a trace of fear, but Su Ran behind him was incredibly anxious. He couldn’t help but criticize in his mind, wondering if the BOSS was missing a few screws because, with the situation as dire as it was, how could he be in the mood to laugh? If the Skeleton Saint didn’t take action soon, they were all doomed!

Su Ran, fearful that the players above would notice something was amiss, didn’t even dare to summon the Sand Shield. He could only bet that the Skeleton Saint was capable of protecting his Army of the Undead. Unexpectedly, this foolish BOSS just laughed heartily, and as countless magic attacks threatened to descend, things got troublesome!

Having no choice, Su Ran planned to summon ten shield-bearing Skeleton Warriors to help withstand this barrage of attacks, but before he could begin the summons, the Skeleton Saint finally moved. It was shrouded in a dark light, and in an instant, a vast black protective shield appeared overhead, blocking all the magic attacks.

Seeing their carefully planned ambush had no effect, the group of players were shocked and developed a deep wariness of the Skeleton Saint below.

"What level of BOSS is this? Not only can it speak, but its defense skills are so perverse!"

Withered Fish clenched the long stone lock, frowning and looking down below. This scene had surpassed his expectations, but he wasn’t too worried. Such absolute defense skills couldn’t possibly last!

Just wait until this flimsy protective shield disappears, and we’ll see how these Undead defend then!
