CHAPTER 2046: CHAPTER 1659: BAD LUCK STRIKES

"Hey, Green Hat Bro, weren’t you leaving? What are you coming back for?"

Su Ran got hit by the undead backlash, unable to move at all, naturally didn’t want the Green Hat to come back. He smiled and said, "Better leave here quickly. If you don’t go now, you won’t be able to leave. We can catch up some other time, no rush."

"Hmm?"

Green Hat found Su Ran’s friendly words quite unsettling. It felt off, but he couldn’t pinpoint why. Still, he knew when someone acts overly nice for no reason, they must be hiding something!

"I don’t care about catching up! Go die somewhere else!"

At this point, Green Hat couldn’t worry about anything else. Even if it were a trap, he’d take it, and of course, killing the brat would be best!

"Young man, be mature. What’s with all the fighting and killing? Am I right... oh man, you’re serious?"

Su Ran initially thought he could persuade him with words, but this guy was impenetrable, crushing Su Ran’s slim hope. Helpless, he could only rely on the ice shield and luck protection. As long as he could delay for a minute, things would be easier.

"You’re not dodging? Who do you think you’re underestimating?"

Seeing that Su Ran didn’t even move, with no intention of dodging, Green Hat was both sad and angry. After all, he was a berserker. Couldn’t he show some respect?

"Is there... anyone else here? Be smart and leave, and I’ll spare your life!"

But Su Ran knew his own plight, forcing himself to hold up while maintaining an indifferent tone. If he could make the guy back down, it would be a win.

"Damn it!"

Green Hat was so angry he didn’t know what else to say, only using "damn it" to express his inner rage. He mustered his strength and slashed at the ice shield, and this time, it didn’t completely block. The ice shield had several cracks.

"Break for me!"

Seeing his chop was effective, Green Hat got excited, swung several more times, and shattered the ice shield, pressing closer to Su Ran.

"..."

Su Ran could definitely feel the danger, extremely nervous inside, but he didn’t show it. Wang Cai kept barking incessantly, and if it weren’t unable to move, it would have lunged already.

Wait!

Once the immobility crossed his mind, Su Ran realized that the undead backlash’s side effect was just not moving for 60 seconds, with a 20% defense reduction. It didn’t say he couldn’t cast spells?!

Damn, that was careless!

While there was still a layer of protection, time was still on his side. Su Ran dared not hold back anymore and summoned the Mechanism Divine Pig. He was planning on summoning more, but Green Hat’s killing move had come down, a Fan Qi Wave sweeping towards Su Ran’s waist.

"Want to kill me? Ask this pig first!"

With the protection’s damage reduction, the power of the Fan Qi Wave decreased by 40%. Su Ran wasn’t worried about getting critically hit. He raised the Mechanism Divine Pig to confront the attack. This creature was quite tough; even after taking some hits, it would be fine, no need to be too cautious.

"Snort, snort!"

Seeing its owner was about to act ruthlessly, the Mechanism Divine Pig panicked, trying to break free from his control. Unfortunately, it was too late. While it struggled, the Fan Qi Wave hit it squarely.

"Oink, oink, oink~"

The Mechanism Divine Pig squealed in agony, and even Wang Cai barked once in sympathy. This didn’t surprise Su Ran; the pig’s traits were odd, and this was its [Fear of Death] skill taking effect.

(Fear of Death—Naturally afraid of death, establishing a life connection with friendly pets, maximum of three. Damage is shared by the opposite party. When pet’s HP is below 30%, it can no longer share damage, and the life connection fails.)

With Wang Cai helping to share the damage, the Mechanism Divine Pig didn’t lose much HP. Green Hat, however, was not so lucky, taking nearly 400 HP in shock, almost dazing him.

Such a powerful rebound force was a first for Green Hat, understandable for his reaction.

(Mechanism Body—Enhanced by runes, the pig’s skin has a powerful rebound force, reflecting damage randomly.)

Su Ran had no time to think about anything else. He promptly summoned skeleton warriors to form a defensive line. With this setup, his confidence grew to last the remaining seconds, which shouldn’t be difficult.

But the Mechanism Divine Pig went on strike, breaking free from Su Ran’s grip, fled into his embrace, and clung tightly to his ribs, refusing to come out.

At this critical moment, the Skeleton Saint charged in, surrounding Su Ran with long spear skeletons, dual axe skeletons, and skeleton warriors, completely getting him out of danger. If Green Hat could escape alive, that would be a blessing, let alone attacking Su Ran again unless he had some extraordinary skills!

At this moment, the friend message alert rang out several times in succession, giving Su Ran a hunch that something was wrong!

Taking advantage of Green Hat being occupied, Su Ran immediately opened the friends’ interface. Upon checking, he found it was a message from Banana. Seeing the content made his face change.

"Big Brother Overturning Water, not good, someone’s leading an army to attack our territory!"

"Who?"

Hearing someone was attacking the territory made Su Ran’s heart skip a beat, several figures flashed in his mind. Dai Xuan of Dancing Demons, Withered Fish of Tiger Supreme, Crane That Doesn’t Dance, Shuxin Nature, each had their suspicions. But the problem was, after failing so many times, didn’t they learn their lesson? Why choose now to attack, really know how to pick a time!

"Drizzle!"

"What the hell, it’s her?"

Hearing this name almost made Su Ran trip. He never expected it to be her!

Damn!

Lin Yuting, is this woman insane? Making trouble at such a crucial moment, all because he kept his identity a secret from her? It’s not like he deceived her feelings, it was purely her own wishful thinking. Does she really need to ruin things?

Utterly unreasonable!

"Banana, hold them off for me. I can’t go back yet. This woman is having a fit. Let her vent for a while."

After speaking, Su Ran quickly opened the friend panel to ask for Yu Jing’s help. In this situation, only Yu Jing could talk sense into her. Unfortunately, Yu Jing wasn’t online, which disappointed Su Ran. Just as he was about to call, Green Hat suddenly descended from the sky, attacking Su Ran’s head.

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, I’ll take you down with me even if I die!"

Green Hat was utterly frenzied, eyes red with fury. He directly unleashed a combo, Jump Cut plus Explosive Flame Strike, nearly doubling its power. If it hit Su Ran, it could indeed be a fatal blow!

But at this crucial moment, Wang Cai’s protective shield effect abruptly wore off. Su Ran couldn’t help but complain about his luck. When it rains, it pours!

Just my luck!
