Chapter 226 - 226 225 Skeletons are Meditating

226: Chapter 225: Skeletons are Meditating 226: Chapter 225: Skeletons are Meditating “In broad daylight, there’s an affront to decency!” The Black Crow looked astonished, pointing directly at Su Ran, “Let go of my brother, if you dare, come at me!”

A warmth spread through Su Ran’s heart.

Despite his awkward predicament, the Black Crow hadn’t mocked him.

Instead, he was first concerned about his safety.

What a friend!

But then, the conversation took a surprising turn.

The Black Crow put on a different face and said brazenly, “Or, how about I log out for five minutes to give you some space?”

Okay, forget what I just thought.

“Get lost!”

Su Ran was livid, but then a thought struck him, and he hastily added, “Five minutes isn’t enough, at least ten!”

“I get it~”

The Black Crow winked at Su Ran, gave him a meaningful smile, and logged off.

“Phew, close call.”

Thankfully, the skeleton above him was covering him.

Otherwise, his own skull would be exposed right in front of the Black Crow.

In that case, he would have to abandon his Overturning Water identity.

“Senior, senior, come down quickly.

This posture is indeed indecent!”

“No strength left, hahaha, remember when I…

Never mind, what’s the point?

In the end, it’s all for nothing,” The Skeleton Senior said, sounding desolate and downcast.

No matter what his past was, Su Ran didn’t have time to be sentimental.

He grabbed the skeleton of the Skeleton Senior, yanked his own skull out with force and put the weightless Skeleton Senior on the ground.

Then, he clicked his neck back in position and quickly put on his hood and mask, feeling relieved.

“Senior, may I know your full name for my remembrance?” Su Ran asked sincerely.

He knew that the Skeleton Senior did not have much time left.

By asking his name, he could keep him in his thoughts.

“Name?” The Skeleton Senior’s voice was faint.

“What’s the point?

I am close to death, and will soon turn into a mound of yellow earth.

Who in this world could remember me, and who could I remember?”

“Then, Senior, why didn’t you step onto the battlefield yourself and kill those who deserve to die?” Su Ran asked in confusion.

Every skeleton he had encountered before — the Skeleton Saint, the Rat Raksha, the Bull Rakshasa – all tried to maximize their strength.

Unlike the idiot before him who gave up his strength, such skeletons were quite rare these days.

“You don’t understand,” The Skeleton Senior shook his head.

“To tell you the truth, this seal was set by me.

It’s the Blood Sacrifice Seal!”

“The Blood Sacrifice Seal is brutal.

It can only be cast by the spellcaster himself as the center of the formation.

If I live, the formation continues, if I die, it will vanish.”

“But Senior, why would you cast such a nefarious seal?” Su Ran was significantly perplexed and eager to know what had happened.

“To lure them into the jar, and then become isolated here.”

“By whom?

The black snake on the ground?”

“Hah…

Haha, these snakes are my children who protect me.

The ones who schemed against me were the Human Race,” The Skeleton Senior narrated as if he was talking about a story unrelated to him, showing no emotion at all.

“Years ago, the top ten experts from the Human Race worked together to scheme against a small skeleton like me.

Well, they really appraised me highly…

I felt honored.

But in the end, didn’t I kill them all on the spot!”

“Unfortunately, I still couldn’t escape the lonely sanction of time…

Never mind, I’ve looked past it.

It’s pointless to talk about this.

Life and death are cyclical, and yin and yang are irreversible.

Well, it is what it is.”

This Skeleton Senior should have been able to hold on for a million years.

However, loneliness had worn him out.

“Little skeleton, remember the task I gave you.

We, the Skeleton Race, are a noble lineage!

Leading our race to a glorious future is your mission and your undeniable responsibility!” The Skeleton Senior looked sternly at Su Ran, his voice echoing with determination.

“I will do my best, please rest assured, Senior!”

“Is my time up?

Is there a hint of light in front of me now?” The skeleton seemed to be reminiscing about his life—full of passion, anger, laughter, but mostly loneliness…

“My children, settle down.

From today, he is your master.

You must obey his will.

This is a command!” The skeleton used his last bit of strength to give one last command to the group of black snakes in front of him.

With that, his skull drooped, and the skeleton lost its color.

A gust of wind swept up the Skeleton Senior’s skeletal remains, turning it into fine dust that gradually faded away into the world.

Su Ran noticed that the black snakes all around were prostrated on the ground, their eyes dull and lifeless as if they were mourning and bidding their last farewell.

Suddenly.

A round stone appeared at Su Ran’s feet, motionless.

He understood that it was likely the relic left by the Skeleton Senior, similar to the way Buddhists leave behind relics—a similar concept.

Su Ran respectfully gave three distinct bows to the stone, hoping that the Skeleton Senior would know that the spirit would endure, and the path would continue.

Then, Su Ran cradled the stone tenderly and reverently placed it in his Storage Box.

At that very moment, a flash of white light flickered, and the Black Crow logged in again.

“Hiss!!”

On seeing Su Ran kneeling on the ground, Black Crow looked as though he’d seen a ghost.

“Damn, Overturning Water, you’re too badass!

You’ve actually ‘dealt with’ that skeleton?!” Black Crow couldn’t believe that the skeleton was gone without a trace.

How vicious did this Overturning Water need to be?

“Overturning Water, doesn’t it hurt to grind bones?” Black Crow swallowed nervously as his gaze shifted to Su Ran, intrigued by his unique method of slaying monsters.

Would the game not ban his account for this?

Su Ran didn’t react, his mind entirely focused on the pile of black snakes in front of him.

With the death of the Skeleton Senior, the Blood Sacrifice Formation naturally collapsed and dissolved, leaving a terrifying number of black snakes gathered in front of Su Ran, looking at him curiously.

Su Ran was nervously surrounded by these serpent ancestors, not daring to move a muscle.

Surely even the slightest wrong move would result in getting pierced by a thousand snakes?

“Overturning Water, don’t be afraid, I’ll come to rescue you!”

The Black Crow noticed that Su Ran was under attack by the group of snakes.

He couldn’t let this continue!

He pulled out his magic wand and rushed over.

Just as Black Crow was making his entrance, the snakes all turned their heads toward him in unison, their eyes shooting menacing glances in stark contrast to their previous demeanor.

Black Crow twisted around and returned to his initial position, giving a playful smile to the group of snakes, “Um, you guys carry on, I was just doing some light exercise.

Standing around too long makes my feet numb.”

Su Ran was speechless.

Are you some sort of comedian sent by a monkey?

But then, things took a sudden turn.

The densely packed group of snakes stood on end, hissing in unison.

The combined sound was quite a sight to behold.

“Damn, as I said before, I was just doing some exercise, not attacking you.

Is there a need for such a grand display?” The sight in front of him scared Black Crow, prompting him to quickly explain while backing away.

God, there were too many snakes, too many to count.

Where was the courage to stand against them?

Overturning Water, you better pray!
