Chapter 176: with translation of chapter title

The enemies in the black mist are no longer frightening; can you now take out the item left by the Death God and show it to me?

Su Hao approached the Bone Dragon and asked softly.

Regarding the item left by such a divine spirit as the Death God, Su Hao said he wasn't curious; that would definitely be a lie.

Of course, Su Hao was merely curious about the item left behind by the Death God.

As for that so-called divine chosen one's identity, Su Hao didn't give it a thought at all.

I mean, I only just heard the name Death God, and now I'm supposed to be his chosen one? That's bullshit! In Su Hao's view, the Bone Dragon saying this could only be for one of two reasons.

First, the Bone Dragon realized it couldn't defeat the enemies in the black mist, saw the large army Su Hao was bringing, and wanted to trick him into fighting them by fabricating the lie of the Death God.

In reality, there is no Death God at all, nor any item he left behind.

If that were truly the case, Su Hao could only tearfully accept the Bone Dragon's corpse, plus the corpses of all undead creatures in the Wangling Hai.

Second, there really is a Death God, such a divine spirit exists, and he indeed left behind an item to be given to his chosen one, along with some kind of divine decree or similar instruction.

However, at that urgent moment, the Bone Dragon mistakenly thought Su Hao was that chosen one.

Of course, Su Hao didn't object then, and naturally he won't say it outright now.

As for whether to tacitly accept that chosen one's identity, he first needs to see what item the Death God left behind, then decide.

If that item is usable by him with no risk, then that chosen one status is set—no one can change it.

If that item has strict usage requirements, usable only by the one chosen by the Death God, then Su Hao can only say apologetically that they got the wrong person, and then…

…then tearfully accept the Bone Dragon's corpse and the corpses of all undead creatures in the Wangling Hai.

There's no way; Su Hao went through a lot of trouble to kill the resentment—he can't just have wasted his effort, that wouldn't make sense.

Surely the Bone Dragon and company should be able to understand that.

Bone Dragon: ……

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a chill behind me.

Could it be that someone is badmouthing me behind my back?

The soul fire in the Bone Dragon's skull flickered with a uniform hue, it turned its head and glanced around, but found nothing abnormal.

Afterwards the Bone Dragon stopped thinking about it, turned its gaze back to Su Hao, and answered his question.

"Roar! (Yes, master, but that item is in Lord Andrew's hands; he needs to produce it.)"

"Andrew?"

As for that name, Su Hao can say he is very familiar with it.

Much of the furniture in his current shelter was retrieved from Grandfather Andrew's castle.

Even the three-piece set of hellish monsters was synthesized from the Stitching Monster refining device salvaged from Grandfather Andrew's castle.

Without exaggeration, Su Hao's present achievements owe a crucial role to Grandfather Andrew's castle.

But the problem is, according to what he knows, Andrew should already be dead.

When Su Hao originally concocted the Second Rank necromancer's elixir, one of the main ingredients was a skull dug from Andrew's grave.

If a necromancer's soul fire isn't extinguished, even if his bones are dragged away and refined, he couldn't die from that.

However, before refining the bones, Su Hao used the Item Appraisal Technique to confirm Andrew's death.

Moreover, he had been dead a long time; even the supernatural abilities on his bones had mostly dissipated.

Therefore, Su Hao is quite certain Andrew has long been dead beyond revival, with absolutely no chance of still being alive.

"Could it be that…"

"The Andrew the Bone Dragon mentioned is merely someone with the same name?" After pondering a moment, Su Hao felt this possibility was the greatest.

If Andrew were still alive, he'd be a Sixth Rank necromancer; a mere Fourth Rank Supernatural resentment couldn't jump around here, and the undead creatures in the Wangling Hai wouldn't mainly be First Rank.

Even a Sixth Rank necromancer at his worst wouldn't lack Third Tier and Fourth Rank undead under his command.

Thus, the Andrew spoken of by the Bone Dragon absolutely cannot be the Andrew Su Hao knows, nor could he be a Sixth Rank necromancer.

Even that Andrew's Supernatural Grade could not reach Fourth Rank.

If so, then there's nothing to fear.

As long as the opponent isn't a Fourth Rank Supernatural being, Su Hao believes that even if he can't win, fleeing would still be fine.

Moreover, many of the violent demon oxen and skeleton warriors he brought out this time are still alive.

Even if there really is a trap, Su Hao isn't that scared.

"Then take me to Andrew's place to have a look."

"Roar! (Okay master, I'll take you there right away.)"

As he spoke, the bone dragon lowered its body, gesturing for Su Hao to climb up.

"... Good!"

After a moment of silence, Su Hao instructed Da Xiong Mao to wait here, then climbed onto the bone dragon's back.

Although he lacks flight ability, once he is airborne his combat power drops considerably.

But even if he falls from the sky, he won't be killed.

In that case, there's nothing to fear.

If the other side really has some conspiracy, being more candid about it will actually put greater pressure on them.

"Roar! (Master, hold on tight.)"

The bone dragon let out a low roar, and eerie blue flames covered its bony wings.

Then he flapped his wings hard, flew into the sky, and landed beside a shattered tomb.

"Huh?"

"This isn't the tomb of Old Master Andrew from back then, is it?"

As the bone dragon flew toward that direction, Su Hao vaguely felt a sense of familiarity.

After all, the place he came to last time was this tomb.

The reason this tomb ended up like this is that Su Hao caused it himself; he personally smashed open the tomb and dug out Andrew Grandpa's skeleton.

"Could it be that the Andrew the Bone Dragon spoke of is actually related to Andrew Grandpa?"

But before Su Hao could think further, he saw a cluster of soul fire resembling an old man drift out from the bottom of the tomb, appear before him, and say something that left him feeling utterly bewildered.

"How wonderful, you finally didn't rush away this time."

Su Hao:??? What does that mean? Why would I need to rush away?

But soon, Su Hao figured it out.

This soul fire must be saying that because, last time, after Su Hao saw a Third Tier Transcendent Bone Dragon appear, he immediately turned and fled.

"Now that I think about it carefully, it seems I really did hear someone calling me back then."

Su Hao spread his hands helplessly; this couldn't be blamed on him.

Back then he was only a First Rank Transcendent, and moreover he had come alone; upon encountering what seemed to be a Third Tier Transcendent Bone Dragon, of course he had to flee quickly.

But who is this soul fire before him? He crawled out from Andrew Grandpa's tomb—surely it can't be Andrew Grandpa's ghost? (End of chapter)
