However.
At this critical mont, ng Dongni ran towards Su Ran’s direction, with the resurrected corpse and the hundred or so sand creatures he’d lured trailing behind, making the entire scene chaotic.
Facing this sudden situation, Su Ran could no longer maintain his composure. His eyes were filled with panic, and the flute lody, already out of tune, beca increasingly erratic, perfectly reflecting his current mood. The arrival of the resurrected corpse and those hundred sand creatures was bound to have disastrous consequences!
After all, the prison flute had attracted 310 sand creatures, which was already at its limit. With another hundred added, chaos was inevitable!
"Damn you, resurrected corpse, causing such trouble!"
Su Ran retreated as far as possible, trying to distance himself from the resurrected corpse, while pondering ways to stabilize the situation. As long as the flute lody didn’t affect the sand creatures, the situation could be stabilized, but was that possible?
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, but he rejected them all. Ultimately, he had to admit that he was losing control of the situation.
"If chaos is inevitable, let it be chaotic together! You want to drag down, but don’t think you’ll escape unscathed!"
Seeing that things were beyond salvage, Su Ran decided to go all out. He vigorously played the prison flute, directing the three hundred plus sand creatures to surround ng Dongni.
If not for that damned ng Dongni, the resurrected corpse wouldn’t have done such a foolish thing!
Admittedly, the resurrected corpse was indeed formidable, able to lure over a hundred monsters with just its flesh, and still survive—indeed, a miracle!
"Overturning Water, block him for !"
The resurrected corpse was solely focused on getting ng Dongni to share the burden of the monsters behind him, neglecting Su Ran’s feelings, which led to the uncontrollable situation as danger approached the Ice Hell prematurely.
"Human, how dare you!"
ng Dongni shouted angrily at the resurrected corpse, "Have you forgotten your Heavenly Dao vow? Do you plan to break your vow?!"
"Senior, you’re in the wrong here. I did indeed make a vow and promised to ensure your personal safety, but that’s conditional upon you refining pills, right? Am I correct?"
The resurrected corpse chuckled, revealing the loophole in the vow.
Su Ran now understood the purpose of the resurrected corpse’s wink at him.
"Human, you..."
ng Dongni’s chest heaved with anger but felt helpless against the resurrected corpse. What he said was true; it wasn’t yet ti for pill refining, so why should he ensure his personal safety?
With so many sand creatures surrounding him, ng Dongni’s situation was dire. Yet just as he prepared to fight desperately, the large group of sand creatures beca chaotic under the influence of the magic lody. So sand creatures were affected, and a corresponding number regained their sanity, heading towards Su Ran.
"Not good!"
At this mont, the resurrected corpse realized the extent of the ss it had caused. Imdiately abandoning ng Dongni, it led the group of sand creatures away, intending to move far enough not to be affected by the prison flute, thereby keeping Overturning Water out of danger.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
When Su Ran was besieged, he couldn’t maintain playing the flute, so he interrupted the prison flute’s creature-attraction effect and fled to the side.
"Whoosh!!!"
This stirred the hornet’s nest, and all the awakened sand creatures imdiately fixed their hatred on Su Ran, angrily rushing toward him. Their roars echoed throughout the Ice Hell, worsening the situation to the extre.
"It’s over!"
This was the sole thought in the resurrected corpse’s mind. It had witnessed Overturning Water’s strength, yet now faced over four hundred sand creatures, trapped in this space with no escape.
To him, Overturning Water was at a dead end, dood to die sooner or later, and it was all his fault. In other words, he indirectly caused Overturning Water’s death!
For a mont, the resurrected corpse was filled with remorse and guilt. Had he known it would result in this situation, he would rather abandon this mission than cause Overturning Water’s death...
"Die, die, it’s best if everyone dies!"
ng Dongni didn’t mind the commotion, eagerly hoping for Su Ran’s imdiate death, wishing all the humans present were dead!
"..."
However, Su Ran didn’t seem overly panicked. He pulled out his bone scythe and unleashed an Ice Vortex into the monster swarm.
In an instant.
The vortex rampaged, sweeping hundreds of sand creatures into the air. Like a goddess scattering flowers, they were flung in all directions, and many entered a frozen state, becoming blocks of ice, immobile.
"Hmph, petty tricks! I’ll see how long you can last!"
Seeing Su Ran’s futile struggle, ng Dongni sneered to himself, firmly believing that regardless of how capable this human might be, he couldn’t be a match for over four hundred sand creatures. Death was rely a matter of ti!
"Woof woof woof!"
While ng Dongni intently watched the chaos unfold, a mongrel darted over, leaping over the sand creatures’ heads and landing at Su Ran’s feet.
"Haha, Wang Cai, you’re finally willing to show up!"
Upon Wang Cai’s return, Su Ran was elated, imdiately riding on it and leading the swarm of sand creatures in ng Dongni’s direction.
"Human, I advise you to abandon this thought. You’ve already locked in hatred, cause and effect are set, and attempting to transfer hatred onto is impossible!"
ng Dongni wasn’t unnerved by Su Ran’s actions, knowing that the hatred incited by the prison flute was irrecusable and nearly impossible to dissipate. Trying to direct that hatred towards him was madness!
"How will I know without trying!"
Confidently riding Wang Cai, Su Ran charged forward. When he was three ters away from ng Dongni, he promptly used Wang Cai’s Luck Concealnt skill to vanish from ng Dongni’s sight.
(Luck Concealnt—Upon use, conceal oneself, impervious to spying, lasts for 10 minutes.)
"Damn it, you actually have an invisibility skill?!"
Only then did ng Dongni realize he had underestimated this human. Faced with the impending sand creature assault, he dared not linger and fled towards ngsini’s corpse.
He intended to use the corpse as leverage, forcing the humans to deal with the sand creature problem themselves!
"Overturning Water, thank goodness you’re not dead!"
Seeing that Su Ran wasn’t dead, the resurrected corpse felt significantly less guilt, jumping for joy. Witnessing ng Dongni being chased, he couldn’t help but utter, "Serves him right!"
"Resurrected corpse, co over here, I have questions for you!"
Bei Diao had no mind to deal with the sand creatures. Sensing temporary safety, he called out to the resurrected corpse, "Quick, check the scroll—is it the cage?"
"What?"
Rushing to Bei Diao’s side, the resurrected corpse compared the coordinates of the cage and said with surprise, "It is the cage. The coordinates match! Bei Diao, how did you open the cage? Do you also have the Peeling thod skill? Where’s the token inside? Quick, give it to ; I’ll resurrect senior ngsini!"
"Resurrected corpse, could the scroll be fake? There’s no token in this cage, yet we unexpectedly saved Overturning Water’s mount. Strange, isn’t it?"
Bei Diao sensed the peculiarity of the situation, and as the task holder, the resurrected corpse should know the reason.
"No token? How is that possible?!"
The resurrected corpse’s excitent instantly cooled as his bright eyes dimd. The task was ti-sensitive; failing to find the token within an hour ant the treasure coffin would remain sealed, marking the mission as failed.
After all his effort, he was stuck with such an outco, leaving him unwilling!
"Hahaha, trying to kill and complete your task? No way!"
At that mont, ng Dongni’s arrogant laughter filled the space. Grasping the corpse’s neck, he threw it into the monster swarm.
"Not good!"
