"Oh my gosh, when did Overturning Water get so fierce that he’s even running around naked!"

Banana was shocked to discover a stark naked skeletal undead sprinting in the distance, with countless beasts and players in hot pursuit, creating a magnificent scene as they charged over. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Without a doubt, if there’s a skeleton meandering in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, it’s definitely Overturning Water; no other skeleton could pull off something like crossing regions. Of course, there’s a possibility of being taken as a pet, but then again, who would catch a low-level skeleton for fun?

Unless they’re out of their mind!

"Damn, Overturning Water, you really screwed me over!"

Watching the motley crew get closer and closer, Banana had no guts to stay put. Like his butt was on fire, he frantically ran away in all directions, praying not to be caught by Overturning Water coming from behind!

Fortunately, Su Ran didn’t want to drag Banana down. He led the main force to circle around Banana and dashed towards Beast King Xisi’s direction. With reinforcements from this massive Beast Clan, Beast King Xisi is bound to turn the tables and launch a stunning counterattack!

Of course, that depends on Beast King Xisi holding out and not getting knocked out too early...

This risky move was something Su Ran had long wanted to pull. If not for that Bloodsucker Venerable sidetrack, he would’ve long stirred up the waters deep in the forest. Having the "Beast Clan’s Nemesis" title gave him an innate advantage in luring enemies; easily attracting the Beast Clan’s hatred, whether from elite monsters or high-level bosses. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it an all-out attack.

[Beast Clan’s Nemesis]

During combat with the Beast Clan, attack increased by 10%, defense reduced by 20%.

Note: Players with this title will have max hostility with the Beast Clan, never-ending battles!

The players leveling up and earning points were certainly not going to spare this odd skeleton, abandoning small monsters to chase after Su Ran.

Originally, when planning this risky move, Su Ran didn’t intend for it to be so over the top. With his skeleton identity restored, Wang Cai couldn’t be summoned to avoid revealing his identity. However, without Wang Cai’s cover, it meant he couldn’t use stealth, making it hard to escape. Unexpectedly obtaining the Ghost Cloak Talisman, his worries were dispelled. He immediately decided to go big!

[Ghost Cloak Talisman] (Special)

Using this forces the character into advanced stealth mode with 1.5 seconds of invincibility. Stealth lasts for 30 minutes; once attacked, stealth ends with a certain debuff.

Note: This talisman can only be used in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts and disappears after leaving.

With 30 minutes of stealth and 1.5 seconds of invincibility, what’s there to fear? Just go for it!

The attributes of this talisman destined Su Ran to create a sensation in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, not letting Bloodsucker Venerable’s trust in him go to waste!

...

"Look over there, the way that skeleton runs is so flashy, wiggling its butt and sticking its rear out. It’s definitely no ordinary skeleton!"

"Isn’t that obvious? An ordinary skeleton can’t cross maps to the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, nor can it attract such a large group of Beast Clan monsters all by itself."

"Why do I feel like it’s intentional?"

"Duh, normal people don’t run wiggling their butt—that guy’s just asking for a beating!"

"Normal person? Got it, it’s a player! No wonder, no wonder!"

"You’re just realizing? This guy ranks second on the popularity list right after the elusive Hangover Elder, among player skeletons!"

Su Ran’s fame as a skeleton came with the territory upgrade, becoming known to players after his name was announced by the system. His skeleton character was so mysterious, never appearing in public view, which only maintained, if not increased, his popularity, even surpassing Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, second only to the top ranker in the leaderboard, Hangover Elder.

"Whoa... so it’s him!"

Among the pursuing players, several gasps could be heard as they realized just how extraordinary this skeleton was, making their eyes light up differently.

"No wonder he has such audacity, taking such a large group of beasts for a stroll. If it were someone else, they would’ve long been done for!"

"Really strange, we’re this close yet can’t draw the Beast Clan’s hatred. How does this skeleton do it? Its monster-luring skills are terrifying!"

"We don’t understand the world of experts, let’s just enjoy the fun, why think so hard?"

...

Player’s curiosity about this skeleton almost exploded. They all wanted to understand what this skeleton’s goals were—the entire forest was in a tizzy because of him, it was simply too much!

Some unlucky players got caught in the beast wave. Although they didn’t attract hatred, they couldn’t withstand the beasts trampling, dying in frustration on the spot, losing the hard-earned points they accumulated.

Luckily, players on the perimeter were more attracted to Beast King Xisi, allowing Su Ran to avoid being surrounded and blocked by the player horde, successfully leading the beast horde to the outskirts, getting closer to Beast King Xisi’s location coordinates.

"Beast King senior, please don’t die. You must accept this grand gift!"

Su Ran prayed internally for Beast King Xisi. With the Beast King’s aura, it could surely give these players a hard time. The more that died, the better—it would allow him to absorb blood unrestrained. Who knows, maybe he could even max out the spirit egg...
