112: Chapter 112: Strike When the Ti is Right 112: Chapter 112: Strike When the Ti is Right After Su Ran made his decision, he exhaled deeply and the knot in his heart was finally untied.
“Big brother, will you help us?” The little beggar looked at Su Ran with pitiful eyes, full of longing.
“Yes, isn’t big brother here to help you?
Little brother, you must rember there are more good people in human race than not.” Su Ran replied with a smile.
“But big brother, why do you know the language of the skull tribe?” The little beggar asked with confusion.
“Oh, that’s because I am knowledgeable and talented.
I know foreign languages too, listen,” Su Ran laughed, “HOW ARE YOU?”
“Big brother is so talented!
But, is treatnt for this expensive?
I heard people saying my body is different than normal people.” The little beggar asked again.
Before Su Ran could answer, he was pulled aside by the old beggar who whispered, “Noble one, may I speak to you privately?”
Su Ran and the old beggar then moved out from the house to a bend in the sewers.
“This child, he has a hard fate.” The old beggar sighed, “He…
has a demon heart.”
“What?” Su Ran was startled and asked again.
“It’s because of this reason that his parents abandoned him here.” The old beggar continued, “To eradicate this demon heart, one must enter the Imperial City and obtain the Holy Healing of the chief physician.
However…”
“The holy healing will destroy that inherently evil demon heart, and without the heart, the child will be no more.”
“In other words, this child’s illness is incurable!” The old beggar shook his head and sighed.
At this mont, Su Ran thought about his own situation in the real world.
The doctors had told him that he should “prepare for the worst…”
He and this child shared a mutual hardship.
“There must be a solution, we just haven’t found it yet.” Su Ran stared intently at the old beggar, “Old man, have you heard of the demon prophecy?”
“The demon prophecy?” The old beggar took a deep look at Su Ran.
His gaze made Su Ran’s heart flutter.
“If that’s the case, it should be workable.” The old beggar hung his head, “However, the demon prophecy is a legend of the Demon World, and how can we, who are in the Holy Continent, obtain this demon prophecy?
Difficult, as hard as ascending to heaven!”
“So, you an that it can make the demon heart lose its demonic power and revert to a normal human heart?!” Su Ran’s eyes brightened.
“Yes, but there’s no use.
There has been no sign of the legendary demon prophecy in the Demon World for tens of thousands of years.” The old beggar shook his head in despair.
Su Ran was exhilarated.
He imdiately took out the two ancient coins, the Carved Mother Coin and the Eight Immortals Coin!
“This is…” The old beggar was taken aback and exclaid in astonishnt, “The Ancient Three Coins!”
Su Ran nodded happily, “Two of the three coins are already here, so there’s still hope for the little fellow to be healed and beco normal!”
Once again, the old beggar looked deeply at Su Ran, “Do you know the power of the demon prophecy?
“I don’t know and I don’t want to know.” Whenever Su Ran thought about the child regaining his health, he felt happy and satisfied.
“The demon prophecy, the disaster of the gods; corpses scattered across the field, souls scattered in all directions!” The old beggar said earnestly, “This demon prophecy is just like the elusive Divine Wish Stone in the Celestial Realm.”
“The Divine Wish Stone requires life force.”
“And the demon prophecy requires bloodshed and wars!”
“Boy, you’re naive!
If you show such valuable things to the human race, aren’t you afraid of being eradicated by the God Race!” The old beggar was incensed by Su Ran’s ignorance and naivety.
“So what?” Su Ran laughed, “Old man, as I said, I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.
The only thing I know is that it can save the little one’s life, and that’s enough!”
The old beggar nodded, took sothing out from his bosom, and handed it to Su Ran.
“This is my appreciation for your generosity, please accept it.”
Su Ran looked closely and found that it was a skill book.
[Language Introduction] (General)
After using it, the user will master the human language.
“This was originally intended for the little boy, but since there’s hope for his cure, it’s all yours now.” The old beggar chuckled, “Of course, I don’t mind if you buy it from .”
Su Ran stared solemnly at the old beggar, knowing he had already revealed too much, he then gave the old beggar a bow.
“Thanks for your generous help, old man!”
Su Ran handed over 50 gold coins.
The old beggar accepted them imdiately, exulting and dancing with joy.
Folly can often disguise wisdom!
Su Ran imdiately used this Language Introduction, Human Race language, acquired!
“Young man, never enter the shop at the far north of the Imperial City, it poses a threat to your life,” the old beggar solemnly warned Su Ran before turning back to his shabby hut.
Imperial City, the far north shop?
What kind of danger was lurking in the Human Race’s Imperial City?
Su Ran wondered.
Suddenly.
A wave of noise ca from the entrance of the Sewers, getting louder as it neared.
“Damn, the Imperial City’s army is back!” The old beggar rushed out of the hut in panic.
“Sir, do not panic, act accordingly,” Su Ran reassured the old man with a determined look, he was ready to help.
“Goddamn it, this old fossil still won’t move, must we kill you before we get our place?” The chief of the city’s army grumbled and two henchn followed him.
The old beggar hurried forward, a fawning smile on his face, he pleaded with the chief, “Sir, give us a few more days, my child’s leg hasn’t healed yet, we will move as soon as it does!”
“Move my ass!” The impatient chief kicked the old beggar and barked, “Smash it!”
His henchn advanced and started smashing the supporting pillar with their weapons.
“God damn it!
There’s a child inside the house!” The old beggar shouted, lunging at one of the henchn.
At that critical mont, a fire-breathing creature charged forward, going straight for the NPC henchman who was about to act.
It was Su Ran’s avatar, the Lava Bone Wolf!
“Undead of the Demon World!
Good, you old fart dare to collude with the Demon World, I sentence you to death!” The NPC chief was not distressed, but elated.
He took out his halberd and charged towards the strange bone wolf.
Su Ran took advantage of the gap while his magic was recharging, and directed the bone wolf to distract the NPC.
anwhile, he checked the NPC’s traits.

Su Ran’s brows furrowed, this Imperial City Guard Captain was actually a level 35 silver boss.
This is troubleso.
However, Su Ran was not one to back down.
His Illusion Demon cloak instantly transford into the Illusion Demon Stone Sword.
He held it in his hand, a stack of advanced sacrificial paper also appeared.
“Swoosh!”
Inside the dark Sewers, a flash of blazing light appeared and then vanished.
A fireball hit the henchman in the face.
“Boom!” “-344”
Having lost one-third of his health in an instant, the henchman was frightened out of his wits.
Even the Silver Captain was taken aback.
When he saw who launched the attack, it turned out to be an undead skeleton.
The lowest-level skeleton from the Demon World!
