Chapter 1817: Chapter 1545: Life Should Not End (Two-in-One)

“Roar!”

The BOSS under Soul Bewilderment completely obeyed the little zombie’s command, not daring to deviate in the slightest, especially when killing enemies. It did so with such invigoration that even Su Ran, watching from the sidelines, could feel the immense power.

It’s proven that this Soul Bewilderment skill is simply a Divine Technique, or rather, it’s an even more insane skill than any Divine Technique, bar none!

Any monster that falls under the Soul Bewilderment must work for an hour before being freed, and even this formidable BOSS merged with a beast could not resist!

Su Ran grew more and more fond of this little zombie, elevating its status to number one among all his pets!

You have to admit, this Chimera BOSS possesses formidable strength. If it weren’t restrained by its own abilities and the Summoned Beast, it wouldn’t have been defeated so miserably, ending up controlled by the little zombie. This hour of control time must be used to the fullest, and while at it, let’s deplete the BOSS’s health a bit. It’ll be easier to take it down then.

In the deep pit, Su Ran searched every inch of land but found no treasure at all. This was completely out of character for the system—designing such a challenging terrain and not providing any rewards just doesn’t make sense.

Hold on, although there seems to be no reward, at the very least, Wang Cai had its attributes upgraded twice; that’s some consolation prize.

If only I could get my hands on that Black Stone Beast Coffin, how wonderful would that be…

Su Ran felt a tinge of regret but didn’t dwell on it. He used this BOSS to break through the protective shield and leave the pit, slaying numerous Beast Clan creatures along the way until he arrived here.

“Strange, where did that kid Banana go? How come there’s still no news? It’s been so long, they should’ve met by now, right?”

Su Ran went through several forked paths but didn’t spot Banana’s figure, muttering to himself, “Could he have already perished?”

It’s understandable for Su Ran to think this way—if there are other traps like the deep pit, with Banana’s capability, it’s doubtful he could get past them, and dying would be a normal outcome.

Moreover, these three burrows are the stumbling blocks affecting their meeting, but he believed that if nothing unexpected happened, they would eventually see each other.

With only half an hour left of controlling the BOSS, Su Ran couldn’t bear to waste time and forged ahead quickly, hoping to encounter more monsters so this labor force could shine more. Not taking advantage of a free hired hand would be foolish; it’s free muscle not to be wasted.

Before he walked much further, a large group of black-striped leopards respawned ahead, blocking his path.

“Damn, why are so many spawning?!”

Su Ran was taken aback, not expecting the system to be so despicable as to spawn such a large group of leopards. To get through here, he’d have to carve a path with blood!

“Damn, this spells trouble…”

He realized the gravity of the situation, in this not-so-large space, with just this amount of forces, even if they could triumph, it’s a foregone conclusion that it would be a pyrrhic victory, possibly getting stuck here, considering the sheer numerical discrepancy!

Even with this BOSS’s help, it would be hard to gain anything favorable!

Unwilling to confront this group of leopards, for safety’s sake, Su Ran chose to detour. He recalled the Darknight Thunder Dragon and the Eternal Poisonous Flood Dragon back into their pet space and relics, then left the other pets in place. Afterward, he pulled out a Calamity Avoiding Charm and used it on the spot, then walked on air over the leopards’ heads.

Luckily.

The Calamity Avoiding Charm wasn’t a counterfeit, and its effect was immediate; he walked nearly thirty meters in the air without arousing the leopards’ slightest alertness. Su Ran let out a sigh of relief, though feeling a bit of lingering fear. He had severely underestimated the number of leopards, for in the thirty-meter path, they were densely packed—seriously, if a beast swarm was triggered, they wouldn’t even have a chance to escape!

“Phew, that was close!”

Steadying his nerves, Su Ran hastened forward. One nice thing about pets is that they can stay put, and when summoned, they can be instantly transported over, ignoring distance restrictions—perfect for this terrain.

However, only Su Ran would dare use such a tactic. If it were any other player, separating too far from their pets could reduce their loyalty, but the little zombie is a special pet, having no such concern. The Copy Thunder Bat and Iron-blood Sand Puppet don’t need mentioning; they are reliable units, ready to come at his call, and would have no complaints even if they died.

“Thankfully, there aren’t any powerful BOSSes here; the system has some decency, leaving some hope for players…”

Su Ran was secretly relieved; if there had been a high-level BOSS, breaking through his Calamity Avoidance state would have been terribly awkward.

What lies behind this group of leopards—opportunity or peril—Su Ran couldn’t be sure. He couldn’t help but glance into the distance, eager to understand what awaited him ahead.

Unfortunately, the dense black elements were as opaque as black coffee, blocking his view but leaving a special aura that tempted his nerves, making him want to explore further.

At that moment, a scream echoed from afar, snapping Su Ran out of his brief stupor.

“Oh no, it’s Banana!”

Su Ran was incredibly familiar with Banana’s voice, recognizing it even if its tone changed. From Banana’s scream, it wasn’t hard to tell that the situation was somewhat dangerous, yet the sheer volume and clarity suggested that it wasn’t life-threatening just yet.
