Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1167 - 1086: Strange Vision

After they lost their attack target, these sand monsters stood still like statues, not moving an inch. If it were not for the recent slaughter, one would never assume that these sand creatures could possess such formidable strength!

"Huh?"

Xue Wuqing unexpectedly discovered that a clear spring was gushing from the fissure, its force growing stronger and spraying ceaselessly. Puzzled, she muttered to herself, "Could Overturning Water have accidentally dug open the main underground pipeline?"

Regrettably, there was no one to answer her. She could only watch helplessly as the water level in the fourth layer of space rose steadily, soon submerging the ankles of the sand monsters.

"This is problematic. Could something have happened to Overturning Water already?"

As she watched the fissure filled with water, Xue Wuqing felt an ominous thought rising in her heart. She quickly opened the friend interface and sent several messages to Su Ran in a row, but there was no reply, which made her heart suddenly cool by half.

...

The third layer of space.

"Haha, we finally made it out alive!"

"I thought I was done for, never expected to come out of that alive—it was too close!"

"Those sand monsters are really abnormal. We hardly managed to kill one, and it dropped nothing—so frustrating!"

"Boss, this place isn’t for us, let’s retreat quickly. If Sand Tower turns into a prison, we won’t even have a chance to escape!"

Having experienced the fear of near death, the players no longer wanted to stay after being brutally attacked by the sand monsters. They couldn’t wait to leave this place.

"Because of Sand Tower, hundreds of brothers have died, Overturning Water’s life and death is unknown on the fourth layer, and our brothers’ bodies are still warm; I can’t bear to leave just like this!"

Cream Novice’s expression was extremely serious, his icy gaze sweeping around before he continued, "You go wait outside Sand Tower first; I will wait for Overturning Water to come out on the fourth layer."

"Boss, think it over!"

"Yeah, if you go in, those sand monsters won’t let you off!"

"Boss, let’s just wait here; there’s no need to take that risk!"

Upon hearing Cream Novice’s intentions, the players realized he was risking his life out of loyalty and started dissuading him.

"You don’t need to worry, if I dare to go, it’s because I’m fairly confident."

No sooner had Cream Novice finished speaking than he summoned his mount. The appearance of Firebird brought him courage, and he said confidently, "My pet has revived, and these sand monsters don’t have long-range attack abilities. As long as I want to flee, these sand monsters can’t hold me back!"

"Boss, be careful then. Sand Tower is too sinister. We’ll retreat first and wait at the tower gate for your good news!"

Seeing Firebird appear, the others ceased to persuade him further. Knowing they would be of no help and staying here served no purpose, they decided to head for the tower’s exit, lest the Sand Tower undergo a change, and they get caught all in one sweep, which would be trouble.

"Bro Cream, we’ll accompany you here!"

Youtong and Gu Yue said in unison, and even Big Smoker stood silently in place, showing his resolve.

"You really are silly. What’s the difference between waiting here and waiting outside the tower?"

Cream Novice let out a wry smile, knowing the stubborn nature of these few. Once they set their minds on something, not even nine oxen could pull them back. He said sternly, "You don’t have flying pets, so don’t come in and add to the chaos. Did you hear me?"

"We got it, Bro Cream, you really are nagging. There are so many sand monsters in the fourth layer; we aren’t stupid enough to go there!"

Youtong had died once and was lucky that Gu Yue had pulled her back from the brink. It made her so fearful of sand monsters that she wouldn’t risk encountering them again at any cost.

"Sister Xiaosheng, don’t worry, Overturning Water Brother is very fortunate, he’ll definitely be okay!"

Gu Yue was full of confidence in Su Ran, and she didn’t forget to throw a fist in encouragement towards the creamy Xiaosheng.

"No need to worry about Overturning Water, that kid is tough as nails, he might have already stirred up a mess in the fourth layer by now!"

The big smoker seemed quite calm in front of these three women, appearing a bit out of place.

"I’ll go take a look and see."

Creamy Xiaosheng mounted the Firebird and dove into the passage leading to the fourth layer.

"Screech!"

As soon as Firebird appeared, it got splashed by a foot full of water, its complexion changed dramatically, it frantically fluttered its Pair of Wings, reaching mid-air before the group of sand monsters could react, lining up next to Xue Wuqing.

"Sister Wuqing, where is all this water coming from?"

Creamy Xiaosheng looked down at the surging waters, astonished to see the water level still rising, and inwardly heaved a sigh of relief for arriving in time, or he would have certainly ended up in the water!

If Firebird were to drown, it would be completely ruined, all its flames extinguished, which would be even worse than killing it.

"Why did you come back? This is so reckless!"

Xue Wuqing looked at the still-shaken Creamy Xiaosheng and couldn’t help laughing, "But it’s good that you’re here, to avoid cooling his heart when Overturning Water comes out."

"I knew Overturning Water would be fine!"

Upon hearing Xue Wuqing, a glint of light flashed in Creamy Xiaosheng’s eyes and his mood relaxed instantly, he asked curiously, "Sister Wuqing, what went on with Overturning Water in the crack?"

"Who knows, he charged into the crack like he was possessed, not even listening when we called him!"

Xue Wuqing helplessly pouted, and pointing towards the fountain below, she said, "Look, that’s the masterpiece Overturning Water has concocted. He can’t bear it unless he causes the system trouble every day! Just... I hope he can last in the water and not run into danger."

"Don’t worry about that, he has the Underwater Breathing potion."

Creamy Xiaosheng, looking at the water level below, was filled with concern. The water had risen over a meter high, and even the sand monsters were submerged up to their midsections, the ferocity of the water was truly rare. She couldn’t help but ask Xue Wuqing, "If it keeps going like this, could it flood the entire space?"

"It’s possible."

Xue Wuqing nodded gravely, "Given the volume of water, it’s not hard to fill the entire space. By that time, our situation will become dangerous. Of course, that’s assuming these sand monsters aren’t afraid of drowning."

Luckily.

The scene they feared didn’t occur; the sand monsters couldn’t withstand the force of the water and disintegrated into heaps of crimson sand, sinking into the depths, and after rising two meters, the water level finally stopped increasing, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Overturning Water, hurry up and come out..."

Creamy Xiaosheng prayed fervently in his heart, hoping for a miracle to happen in the next moment.

...

At that moment, Su Ran was busy digging the ground underneath the ancient pottery, as he had discovered no method would move it an inch; the piece seemed as if it had taken root and not even Sand Tower could collect it!

This realization filled Su Ran with frustration. How could he not consider that the team outside was nearly unable to withstand the sand monsters’ assault? Any further delay could cost a life, and they might even face total annihilation!

If it came to that, his sin would be great...
