Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1168 - 1087: In Hand

"This is really driving me nuts, why is the ground so hard to dig?!"

Su Ran was digging furiously at the ground, only to unexpectedly find that it was as solid as concrete beneath his feet. If it weren’t for his advanced mining skill, the idea of breaking through the surface would be pure folly!

With such favorable conditions and undisturbed by others, if he still couldn’t get his hands on the ancient pot, he might as well smash his head with a slab of tofu. He felt embarrassed even thinking about it!

As for time, it was certainly not on his side.

Su Ran felt a pang of guilt, hoping that his teammates didn’t suffer too much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even get past Wan’er sister!

"Clang! Clang!"

As time passed, the effort seemed to pay off. Su Ran’s focused excavation finally unearthed the amazing ancient pot, creating a dark hole in the ground.

Phew, I finally have it again. This fate is truly indescribable," Su Ran said, playing with the ancient pot in his hands. He had given up hope on this precious item, but to his surprise, the system had brought it back to him. It seemed predestined to be his.

This time, Su Ran didn’t bother being polite with the system and quickly stuffed the pot into his bladder. After all, the mysterious treasure ultimately bore his name.

Suddenly.

The moment the ancient pot disappeared, the water flow went out of control, roaring towards the newly dug hole. Su Ran was swept into the black abyss with a whoosh, his consciousness blinking out temporarily.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, Su Ran was harshly thrown onto the ground, with tons of heavy water pouring down over him, nearly breaking his neck.

"Ouch!"

"Damn, Overturning Water bro, you really went all out, even drilling through this layer of the tower!"

"Overturning Water brother, are you alright?"

Shaking his dizzy head, Su Ran heard several familiar voices. Turning his head, he saw the three big smoke guys and couldn’t help but ask in surprise, "How are you guys here?"

"Shouldn’t we be the ones asking you that?"

The big smoke guy looked at Su Ran with a surprised face, "Overturning Water brother, looks like you got knocked senseless. This is the third layer!"

"What?"

Su Ran was completely startled and quickly moved aside to put away his beginner’s hoe, asking with some disbelief, "Did I fall down from the fourth layer?"

"What else?"

Gu Tong laughed and said, "Overturning Water brother, looks like you’ve been knocked silly. You still don’t realize where you are..."

"Who would have thought, to actually break through the terrain."

Looking at the hole that was gushing water like a faucet, Su Ran had to accept this ridiculous fact. But no matter what, the ancient pot was now his, and he had nothing to worry about.

"Overturning Water, stop standing there like a dummy and hurry back to the fourth layer. Little Yue stayed behind risking her life for you, and it’s been so long... we don’t even know if she’s alive or dead..."

Gu Yue’s expression darkened, her tone filled with sadness. Her voice, her expression, it was all perfectly convincing. Even Youtong looked shocked. It had to be said, not pursuing acting was truly a waste of her talent.

"I’ll go have a look!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran couldn’t stay put any longer and immediately dashed towards the fourth spatial layer, disappearing from sight in just a few strides.

"Little Yue, I’ve noticed you’ve also turned mischievous, fooling someone without batting an eyelid or skipping a heartbeat. That little expression of yours is so sad to those who see it and tear-inducing to those who hear it. I almost took it for real, tsk tsk, you really can act."

Youtong looked at Gu Yue in surprise, as if she were meeting her for the first time, circled around her once, and then deliberately asked in an interrogative tone, "We just got off the phone with Sister Su, knowing full well she’s not in danger, yet you spoke so emotively. Spill it, what are you plotting?"

"Little Tong, don’t you know what I’m thinking? I’m just anxious on Sister Su’s behalf, trying to help pierce through that layer of window paper for the two of them earlier! Now that a love rival has appeared, Sister Su isn’t even worried, I really don’t know what’s going on in her head..."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Gu Yue finally relaxed, her expression returning to normal in an instant.

"Ah ha, Sister Little Yue, I’ll credit you for this! If those two get together, you have to be the matchmaker, haha!"

Youtong chuckled, her eyes curving into two slender crescents.

"I’m not going to be a matchmaker, don’t jinx me from getting married!"

Gu Yue rolled her eyes at Youtong and cast a Healing Technique on her head, "Topping up your health to shut you up. Let’s not talk about this anymore, got it?!"

"Easy now, if you won’t be the matchmaker, I will. Maybe I’ll even get a pig’s head as a reward. My little ghost loves pig’s head meat, hehehe..."

Youtong covered her mouth, unable to stop giggling, finding this romance topic much more interesting than playing games.

The women’s chat was like a smokeless war, and Big Smoker wisely kept his mouth shut to avoid trouble. However, the fact that Youtong was constantly thinking of him touched him deeply.

...

"Sister Wuqing, attack its head!"

"No use, this BOSS has a protective shield covering it, we can’t hurt it at all!"

In the fourth layer of the Sand Tower space, Xue Wuqing and Sister Su were attacking a sand creature BOSS that was over three meters tall with all their might, moving cautiously during the fight for fear of giving the BOSS an opportunity for a lethal strike. The two coordinated with each other, going from unfamiliarity to tacit understanding, and thankfully, no major mistakes were made.

"Overturning Water, danger, run!!!"

While the two women were at a standoff with the BOSS, Su Ran appeared in the fourth spatial layer, merely a couple of body lengths away from the BOSS. Witnessing this perilous scene, Sister Su’s heart nearly jumped to her throat.

Wu Qing, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows in surprise, a flash of anxiety passing through her eyes.

"Damn, where did this extra BOSS come from!"

Without waiting for the giant sand creature to strike, Su Ran promptly used the Treading on Air Technique to flee into the air, narrowly avoiding disaster.

Side by side with the two women, Su Ran looked down at the sand creature waving its arms and then asked, "Does this BOSS lack long-range attack capabilities?"

No sooner had she spoken than Su Ran felt the question hadn’t been properly thought through. If the BOSS had remote attacking powers, these two women would have long been spirits seeking rebirth, not standing here in high spirits.

"Overturning Water, this BOSS has a skill called Sandstorm, a long-range Crowd Technique, very powerful, don’t take it lightly!"

Sister Su, seeing that Su Ran seemed to be underestimating the sand creature, quickly spoke up in caution, her eyes filled with apprehension as she looked at the BOSS.

"Overturning Water, weren’t you in the crack? How did you come out of the entrance again?"

While directing her flying horse to dodge the sand creature’s leaping attacks, Wu Qing looked curiously at Su Ran, feeling that what he had done was akin to performing a grand human vanishing magic trick, defying her understanding.
