Chapter 2256: Chapter 1776: Ancient Treasure Orb, Dark Ghost Orb! (Double-Length)
“It’s really not easy, finally triggered the plot!”
Facing the soul that had just ford, Su Ran was not afraid but rather delighted. If it weren’t for the fear of setting off a trap, he would have jumped up with excitent.
“Hmm?”
The little zombie curiously glanced at the soul in the prison, but in less than a second, it looked away, mounted the bony centipede, and resud its street cruising mode.
“Whoo~ Whoo~”
Gusts of eerie wind howled and swirled continuously around the soul, forming whirlwinds in the air, indicating how strong the wind’s speed was.
Strangely, even standing so close to the prison, Su Ran didn’t feel a hint of the wind, which seed quite unscientific.
If this soul were to be drawn out and absorbed by the Ancient Relic, how aweso would that be? The favorability of the Ancient Poisonous Dragon might just surge through the roof.
As it turned out, Su Ran was overthinking.
The soul ford by this poisonous mist clearly had a mission; the system couldn’t allow it to disappear so easily. What Su Ran needed to do next was patiently wait for the soul to solidify and then take on the mission!
To be safe, he switched back into the Illusion Demon black robe, to avoid exposing his skeleton identity.
In the territory of the Imperial City of the Human Race, his undead identity must not be exposed; he was counting on his identity of Overturning Water Can’t Be Regained to mix in the Imperial City, so he couldn’t let his guard down!
After about another minute, the soul stopped changing and slowly opened its eyes.
“Human, are you the one who awakened from my slumber?”
“Are you… human or ghost?”
Su Ran intentionally asked in a trembling tone, to confirm the identity of this ghost.
“Human, do not be afraid. I am from the Ghost Realm… Forget it, I’ve been dead for many years now, what’s the point of talking about these empty titles? Right now, I’m rely an obsession.”
The soul floated to the prison door, closing the distance with Su Ran, conveying goodwill towards him, “Human, I hope you can help fulfill my last wish before my obsession dissipates. Are you willing?”
“Ghost Realm? Are you from the Ghost Clan?”
Su Ran originally intended to take a few steps back, but when he thought of the hidden traps in the prison, he put his raised foot down again and curiously asked, “Senior, what is your last wish? Tell , if it’s too difficult, I won’t take it.”
This was Su Ran deliberately saying to the ghost, indicating that while he could accept the mission, if there were penalties for failure, he would have to reconsider.
“Human, the fact that you and I can et indicates that there’s a causal link, and this mission can only be undertaken by you.”
The ghost said in a serious tone, “I hope you don’t disappoint !”
“Senior, what’s the penalty for failing this mission?”
This was what Su Ran cared about. Since this NPC didn’t ntion it, he had to take the initiative to ask.
If this mission was a pitfall, he wouldn’t foolishly jump into it!
“Fail? You can’t fail. Once I finish explaining the mission, you’ll understand.”
The ghost shook its head, quite disappointed by Su Ran’s reaction, but without much explanation, directly stated the mission, “Do you see my body? Take it out of the prison!”
“What’s the reward for this mission then?”
Su Ran was very astonished; this mission was coincidentally the sa as the mission given by the Ghost King Sabi. If he took on Sabi’s mission, wouldn’t he be doing one task for two rewards?
“An Ancient Jewel, the Dark Ghost Pearl!”
“What?!”
Upon hearing the ghost’s words, Su Ran was completely stunned and asked incredulously, “Senior, what did you just say?”
“I an, as long as you take the body out, I will reward you with an Ancient Jewel, the Dark Ghost Pearl!”
The ghost was quite satisfied with Su Ran’s shocked reaction, considering it was a priceless Ancient Jewel, being astonished was only normal.
“I see!”
Su Ran finally understood, no wonder the Ghost King Sabi was so keen on this body, and no wonder Shuxin would inform him about the Ancient Jewel. This thread indeed linked together.
It seems that the Ghost King Sabi also assigned this mission to Shuxin, likely with a ti constraint. That’s why she was eager to share the mission. Being trapped in the cell for thirty days, by then even the daylilies would have cooled, let alone this mission. The penalty for failing this mission was unbearable for her, which is why she resorted to this tactic, planning to share the news of the Ancient Jewel with him.
With this thought, Su Ran’s doubts vanished, feeling an urge to laugh out loud. Han Siying, oh Han Siying, you may have calculated all you can, but my friend, even though I don’t have the mission, I sohow managed to cut in line ahead of you. I apologize, but with the task just handed to by the NPC, I couldn’t possibly decline!
“Senior, aren’t you taking the Ancient Jewel as a ruse? Having been in this prison for so many years, even if you had the jewel, it would’ve been taken by the Human Emperor. If you’re asking to get it from the Human Emperor, I don’t have that kind of ability…”
Su Ran first wanted to make sure of his retreat options, to avoid stepping into a pitfall unknowingly. Now that the ghost was asking him for help, he couldn’t proceed without clarifying things first!
“Human Emperor? Hmph!”
The ghost snorted heavily after hearing the words “Human Emperor”, “Even if the Dark Ghost Pearl were right under his nose, he wouldn’t dare touch it!”
“Why so?”
Su Ran sensed sothing was off; how co he could touch this Dark Ghost Pearl which even the Human Emperor dared not? There must be a catch!
“At this point, I won’t hide it from you. The Dark Ghost Pearl contains potent toxins, contact with it is exceedingly difficult to dispel, and it will have significant influences. Moreover, it will forcibly transform your race to the Ghost Clan. This very reason alone is unbearable for the Human Emperor. He couldn’t possibly abandon the Human Race to join the Ghost Clan. Now with this explanation, you should understand.”
