Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 312 Excess Reward
When Xiao Ran saw those eyes staring at him, his mind was in a mess and he didn't realize anything at all.

Until the two eyeballs trembled slightly, Xiao Ran was startled suddenly, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He didn't care about the injuries on his body and jumped out of the coffin with a "whoosh".

This action startled the evil dragon boy who was about to enjoy the delicious food. He looked at Xiao Ran who was standing outside the coffin with a puzzled look.

It’s not Xiao Ran’s fault that he reacted so strongly. A corpse that had been dead for who knows how many years suddenly opened its eyes and came back to life. Even a corpse-experiencer like Xiao Ran would feel frightened.

But after jumping out of the coffin, Xiao Ran felt numb again. In front of him was the evil dragon boy who was ready to eat him, and behind him was the thousand-year-old corpse in the coffin.

With a dragon in front and a tiger behind, Xiao Ran felt numb all over. After being dazed for a few seconds, he simply sat down on the ground, took out the remaining lunch boxes and the strong liquor that he never liked to drink from the space, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Tired, destroy it.

I'll be a full ghost first.

Seeing that Xiao Ran had completely given up struggling, the boy couldn't help but laugh.

"I've seen many people dying, and they look ugly before they die. The most annoying ones are the idiots who are so scared that they poop and pee and vomit non-stop. It's the first time I've seen someone as generous as you."

The young man walked towards Xiao Ran with a smile on his face.

"Excuse me for asking."

Xiao Ran drank the whole bottle of wine and looked up at the young man.

"If they poop in their pants, will you still eat?"

"It doesn't have much of an impact, just dip it in the sauce. Hey, why are you taking off your pants?"

Seeing Xiao Ran about to take off his pants, the boy couldn't help but frown. He didn't like eating from the bottom.

"Hehe." Xiao Ran laughed and said with a hint of alcohol: "I'm going to take a shit first, so that you can eat my shit and feel more balanced."

The young man was startled when he heard this, and then he showed an angry look: "I'm afraid you don't have a chance!"

The moment the young man finished speaking, Xiao Ran felt a fishy wind blowing towards him, and his mind suddenly tensed to the extreme.

"roll!"

A muffled cold snort suddenly sounded from the coffin, and the word "get out" seemed to carry endless majesty and power, like a thunder exploding in the sky above the underworld.

"who!"

The boy's pupils constricted, and before he could react, he felt a huge force hit him. He flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, hit the wall hard, then slid down, flying backwards with a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth.

In the coffin, the old demon's shriveled body, like a sculpture dried by time, stood up slowly and extremely stiffly at this moment.

A huge and decayed aura emanated from the seemingly fragile and shriveled body.

This breath seemed to be the weight of the years, or like resentment that had been buried for thousands of years. It spread out in all directions like a surging tide, stirring up black ripples visible to the naked eye in the air.

There seemed to be a faint light flickering in the hollow eyes of the ancient corpse, as if telling of the loneliness and vicissitudes of life over the past ten thousand years. It stood there quietly, but brought an indescribable sense of oppression to the entire space. Time seemed to stop in front of it, and everything in the world became small and fragile under the cover of this breath.

Without waiting for the young man to stabilize his body in mid-air, the old demon raised his hand and slapped the young man again. The skinny palm seemed to penetrate the void in an instant and appeared in front of the young man the next second.

"Roar!!"

Sensing the danger, the young man immediately roared and turned into a vicious dragon again. His huge body turned and the tail behind him lashed towards the hand.

"Snapped!"

The result was unexpected, the blow that was powerful enough to split mountains and seas was actually grasped by this hand, and then twisted hard. The heart-wrenching pain made the evil dragon tremble uncontrollably all over, and its tail was actually torn off.

This time the evil dragon didn't even turn its head back, but turned around and plunged into the Yellow Spring. After rolling up a huge undercurrent under the Yellow Spring, it quickly disappeared on the water surface.

It all happened so fast that Xiao Ran couldn't see clearly what was going on.

In just a blink of an eye, the figure of the evil dragon disappeared. There was a "boom" on the water surface, and a broken tail was thrown into the water by the old monster.

"hiss!!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xiao Ran was dumbfounded.

It was not until the old demon beside him let out a heavy gasp that Xiao Ran raised his stiff neck. Looking at the old demon standing next to him, he swallowed involuntarily.

But at this time, Xiao Ran noticed that there was a black lump on the old demon's other hand. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was the ghost pill that he had casually thrown away.

"How did this thing end up in the hands of the old demon? Could it be that this thing awakened the old demon?"

"What year is it now?"

Xiao Ran was still in a daze, but the old demon opened his mouth and asked.

"years?"

Xiao Ran was startled and came back to his senses. He first glanced at the black swan brooch on his chest. Seeing that the black swan brooch did not sound an alarm, he breathed a sigh of relief and carefully got up from the ground and said, "Senior... Senior, it is 2028 now." The old demon frowned, obviously not very satisfied with this answer. He simply ignored Xiao Ran and started counting on his fingers. After counting for a while, he asked, "How many years has the mystery city fallen?"

"what??"

Xiao Ran opened his mouth and scratched his head: "It hasn't fallen yet. It falls a little bit every day. It may take some time for it to fall."

The old monster was clearly a corpse from an unknown era, but he actually knew about the mysterious city. Xiao Ran couldn't help but feel unbelievable.

After hearing Xiao Ran's reply, the old demon was stunned for a few seconds, then sighed and gave up. He sat on the ground, staring at Huang Quan in front of him with empty eyes, muttering to himself, "Wrong, all wrong."

Xiao Ran saw that the old demon seemed to be possessed by a demon. He didn't know what had happened and he didn't dare to ask rashly.

His eyes turned and he saw the severed tail on the water. His eyes lit up and he simply ignored the old monster and controlled the already broken black stick to pull the tail over.

Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Ran walked to Beast Master's body and checked it carefully to see if there was any hope of repairing Beast Master. The result disappointed him.

In addition to the head being smashed into a rotten watermelon, even the spine, ribs, shoulder blades and other parts were broken.

"Oh, all this wasted time."

This is a C-level corpse slave. What's rare is that after the transformation, he still retained his C-level profession. It was his biggest trump card, but he didn't expect it to be completely scrapped now.

Xiao Ran could only recycle the corpse and planned to find a place to dismantle the Beast Master after returning. The arms and legs should still be usable, and the internal organs can also be disassembled and used.

After taking back Beast Master's body, Xiao Ran threw out the spirit snake and let her heal herself.

The cut on his lower back was very deep. Xiao Ran gave the [Evil Embroidery Needle] to the spirit snake to activate it, barely able to sew himself up, and then used the [Spiritual Incense Burner] to heal himself.

Although the wound has not fully healed, it at least does not affect my movements.

After a while, the tail was also fished out by Black Stick, half of it in the water and the other half on Black Stick's body.

The tail is very large, comparable to the body of a whale, with layers of green scales flashing coldly on the water.

"This is a treasure."

Xiao Ran stretched out his hand and knocked on the scales on the tail. He heard a clanging sound and stars suddenly appeared in his eyes. He stroked them with both hands and drooled.

"A Jiaolong is also a dragon. Even its tail is a treasure."

Xiao Ran tried to put the tail into the space, but it was too big to fit in.

So he took out the guillotine and tried to pry the scales off the tail. It took him a lot of effort to finally cut off a very small piece of scale from the broken end. The scale was as small as an adult's palm.

I took the guillotine and cut it a few times, but there was no trace left.

Although it is not a cursed object, the hardness of the material is such that if you get more of it and make yourself a piece of armor, your defense will be invincible.

"It's a pity that I don't have the profession of [Forging], otherwise I should be able to make more things."

But then he thought again, although he didn't have this profession, he could upgrade the corpses, create more corpse slaves, and create the [tool casting] profession for them.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran worked even harder and called out Senbingwei and Lao Hu to work together.

Time passed quickly, and no one knew how many days had passed. Xiao Ran had removed all the scales that could be removed from the tail.

The smaller ones are a thin layer of fine scales on the skin, about the size of half a palm. The larger ones are the hard scales on the top, about the size of an adult's palm. The larger ones are the thick green scales on the outside, which are like a shield in the hand. Xiao Ran used a lot of effort to control Senbingwei and other corpse slaves with these large scales, but in the end he only got rid of five pieces.

As for the remaining scales, there were quite a few, enough to fill two large boxes.

There are more than just these scales on the tail, but Xiao Ran couldn't move the tail anymore. In addition to the scales, Xiao Ran took out a few bones from the broken tail. Each of these bones was like a millstone, with the texture of white marble.

Take it back and make beads.

In the end, he casually cut off more than a hundred pounds of meat and planned to go back and have Wu Man process it. A Jiaolong is still a dragon, and he has never tasted dragon meat before, so it cannot be wasted.

As for the remaining tail, Xiao Ran sewed it to Black Stick's body with the cooperation of Black Stick, replacing the tentacle that had been severed before.

It took Xiao Ran at least a week just for the suturing step.

The project was too huge, but fortunately the remaining half of Black Stick's tentacle could still help him, and with the assistance of Senbei, he was finally able to sew it together.

It is more accurate to say that the black stick is sewn to the tail rather than to the body of the black stick.

During this time, Xiao Ran occasionally looked at the old demon, but the old demon was like a stone, sitting there motionless, and occasionally some tiny whispers came out of his mouth. Xiao Ran listened for a while, but did not understand what he meant.

After the operation was completed, a prompt sound appeared in Xiao Ran's mind.

"Reminder: You have completed the special mission, the Stitching Journey!! The stitched black stick has been rated S-level. You have exceeded the mission and received an extra reward! The cage of destiny..."

　There will be another update in the evening.
