"Hey, this Time Rewind ability is really handy, Dai Xuan’s face turned green."

Su Ran almost couldn’t help but burst out laughing; the reappearance of the Heaven-covering Yellow Sand domain completely drove the players into despair, especially Dai Xuan, who felt driven nearly insane.

It must be said, the timing of using the Time Rewind ability just now was indeed excellent, completely cutting off Dai Xuan’s last hope, making their attacks even more frenzied.

The Skeleton Saint had also recovered from the aftereffects by now and didn’t waste this great opportunity, swiping his attacks several times in rapid succession. The players simply couldn’t withstand it, especially since their ability to dodge had decreased, leaving them unable to evade and getting struck one after another, turning into corpses that fell to the ground.

"Damn these Undead, this isn’t over!"

Seeing the situation had deteriorated beyond repair, Dai Xuan cursed under his breath, controlled the Red Gold Cloud Tiger, risking his life to madly fight the Undead before him. In his view, even if he was to die, he would take down a couple of Undead first!

Influenced by Dai Xuan’s madness in his dying moments, all the players started fighting desperately, turning the whole scene exceedingly bloody, even Su Ran, as a spectator, was shocked.

If they weren’t even afraid of death, it would be strange if their last stand wasn’t frantic!

However, no matter how much Dai Xuan struggled, he couldn’t stir up much of a storm, ultimately breaking down here, with his teammates following in his footsteps, dying with resentment.

"Is it already over? Haha, it’s my turn to make a move then!"

Looking at the bodies scattered everywhere, Su Ran’s eyes gleamed, and without waiting for anyone to remind him, he hurriedly ran over. At that moment, he felt like a ragpicker, specially cleaning up the trash generated on the battlefield. This task was somewhat laborious, but he relished it thoroughly. If this job could continue forever, he wished it could last ten thousand years.

"Huh?"

Before Su Ran could even reach the crime scene, he unexpectedly discovered that the Skeleton Saint boss, along with nearly a hundred high-ranking Undead, had left for the depths of the dark abyss without even a greeting.

"Damn, this boss is too heartless, isn’t he? Buddy, I took the risk of exposure to help you so much, and you couldn’t even say thank you? Is this how your teacher educated you?"

Su Ran stared at the Skeleton Saint in frustration, feeling somewhat disappointed. He had originally planned to cosy up to the Skeleton Saint to wheedle the special Undead Rebirth bone skill out of him, and of course, if he could be taught that mass enhancement skill, Su Ran would accept that too.

After all, he was the major contributor who had turned the tide, so asking for some rewards was only natural.

However, the departure of the Skeleton Saint disrupted Su Ran’s plans, rendering the persuasions he had prepared useless.

Su Ran grumbled a few words in his heart and gave up on targeting the boss, starting his large-scale scavenging. He wanted to collect all the spoils before the next wave of players arrived, lest the system profited from them.

With the idea of avoiding waste, Su Ran conducted a very meticulous search, and as time passed, his facial expression grew more and more splendid, even his eye sockets seemed to bend with joy.

"Holy smokes, the big guilds do go all out, so generous of them!"

After searching the last body, Su Ran was completely wiped out. At that moment, he was tired yet joyful, never having dreamed that his loot would be so bountiful!

"Leader Dai, if I don’t call you Fortune-bringing Child, I feel like I’d be doing this pile of equipment a disservice, hahaha!"

Su Ran couldn’t help but grin widely and burst into laughter, his laughter startling the nearby Undead skeletons. These Undead looked at Su Ran curiously before instinctively moving a bit further away, lest they catch his craziness.

Actually, it was inevitable for Su Ran to behave this way; among the war spoils he had obtained this time, there were over thirty gold items alone! Not to mention silver equipment and the like, this haul was almost like having raided the system’s treasury!

"Today, the ordinary folks are really, truly happy~~~"

Humming a little tune, Su Ran glanced at the task completion count tallied by the system. He accidentally reached 470,000, a dazzling number that made him feel as refreshed as if he had gulped down a large bucket of Sprite!

"Only half the quota left, if these players come in a few more waves, I could complete the mission!"

While picking up equipment earlier, Su Ran had constantly been praying that players wouldn’t barge in at that moment. Only after he had thoroughly scavenged all the equipment on the ground did he start to appreciate the players again, even looking forward to their next visit.

However.

What worried Su Ran was that after several tough battles, the Skeleton Saint’s already weak body was becoming even less able to bear the burden. If another large wave of players came, the Skeleton Saint might really perish here.

And the Army of the Undead around him was absolutely clueless, lacking any intelligence at all, definitely unreliable. This worried Su Ran, as if Leader Dai organized another attack, that would be troublesome. At that thought, Su Ran felt conflicted within, wondering whether to stay or leave became the question.

Su Ran was somewhat reluctant to leave this easy money-making opportunity, but without the Skeleton Saint’s control, the Army of the Undead was just what it was. Staying here could likely harm the bystanders and even pose a risk of exposing his identity. novelbuddy.cσ๓

If that’s the case, then there’s no need to continue staying here. Leave!

After weighing the pros and cons, Su Ran firmed up his decision, used Instant Movement to leave the dark abyss, and returned to Skeleton Village.

But what Su Ran didn’t know was that his choice was absolutely correct because in the days following his departure, no player dared to step foot into the dark abyss, which was flagged as a hazardous zone on the forums, with a difficulty rating of five stars. Had he continued to wait, it would have been awkward.

As it turned out, through these battles, the Skeleton Saint’s infamy had spread, and the players no longer had the courage to probe again. Under the divine punishment state, the death penalty was too severe, and this group of players couldn’t bear it any longer.

After all, the Martial Arts Tournament was about to begin. At this critical time, no one wanted to take this risk. If their equipment exploded and their power declined, it would truly be a loss greater than the gain.

This beautiful misunderstanding provided the Skeleton Saint time to heal its injuries, which was absolutely fortunate for the Undead Race. Once the Skeleton Saint fully regained its terrifying power, the Undead’s uprising would be so fierce that even the God Race couldn’t influence it!

At this moment, Su Ran hadn’t considered such long-term perspectives yet. What worried him were those five hundred thousand quota numbers.

"So many lives, how long will it take to kill them all? No, I need to think of a middle way, how to trick the Human Race without being noticed..."

Su Ran thought of several plans in his mind, but all posed a risk of exposure. This Human Race identity was essential for Su Ran’s survival, forcing him to prioritize it carefully.
