Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1169 - 1088: Using Oneself as Bait

"Cough cough, it’s a long story, I’ll explain it to you in a bit."

While the situation still seemed safe, Su Ran said thoughtfully, "A sandstorm? Luckily, it’s a group move, not fatal in one hit. But... how did this BOSS appear? I never saw it when I was in the Rift Space."

After the ancient pot disappeared, a series of changes occurred, which left Su Ran a bit puzzled. The sand creatures had vanished, and in their place, a much more powerful BOSS had appeared—how strange!

"Here’s what happened..."

Creamy Idol briefly recounted what had just occurred, and Su Ran finally understood that the tide had gone out, causing all the sand piles to converge and recombine into this giant sand monster.

Uh.

It must be said, the appearance of this BOSS was directly related to him, as the tide had been caused by a chain reaction from his digging through the sand layer. Of course, he would never reveal this part, fearing a beating.

"Why not call others to help? Just the three of us, how long will it take to kill this BOSS?"

Su Ran voiced his biggest concern. From their recent attack, their combined strength didn’t even hit fifty points. With such little damage, he really didn’t understand what the point was in continuing this fight; they might as well give up.

Could it be...

She really wants to slowly grind this BOSS to death?

Su Ran was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Call others? In this scenario, calling them would be a disservice! Even with many shield teams, they couldn’t withstand this BOSS’s melee output. If I could escape, I would have given up a long time ago instead of stubbornly holding on!"

Creamy Idol promptly rejected Su Ran’s suggestion. In her view, battling this BOSS was not a wise choice, the only sensible strategy was to give up.

What?

Wasn’t it mentioned that they stayed on the fourth floor specially for him?

Turns out they couldn’t escape!

Damn, such a waste of emotion, moved for nothing!

It seems, Gu Yue, this girl, wasn’t being very transparent...

"If you want to escape, it’s simple!"

Su Ran didn’t take this too seriously, easily dodging the sand creature’s swing, and pointed to a crack nearby, saying loudly, "Go down here, and there’s an entrance to the third floor. That’s how I got out!"

"No wonder you could disappear into the rift, so there is actually a secret passage inside."

The mystery of the living dead was solved, and Wu Qing revealed an enlightened expression, "Sister Idol, shall we go ahead?"

What secret passage, this was painstakingly dug out by me!

However, Su Ran, due to ulterior motives, chose not to explain this to the two women, as there was only one ancient pot, which couldn’t possibly be split into three, right?

Making a fortune in silence, that was what Su Ran wanted to see.

"There’s a secret passage below?!"

Creamy Idol’s eyes brightened, and she promptly gave up on the sand monster BOSS below. The three of them quickly escaped into the rift.

However,

when the three of them finally reached the bottom of the rift, their expressions turned peculiar.

"Overturning Water, come come come, try squeezing through this small entrance first."

Creamy Idol, with a resentful expression, pointed out that the hole at their feet was only as thick as an adult’s thigh, making it impossible to squeeze through!

"Sister Idol, this guy is mocking us for being fat, how despicable!"

As for women, any topic involving body shape is sensitive, and just like that, Su Ran had inadvertently offended Wu Qing...

"Uh, if I said I was sucked in, would you believe me?"

Even Su Ran doubted how he managed to crawl out from there, considering just the width of his hips indicated it was nearly impossible for him to pass through; how he left had become a mystery.

"I believe you my ass!"

Xue Wuqing glared at Su Ran, glanced at the crack overhead, and realized the BOSS hadn’t followed, then grumbled, "Quit spouting nonsense and think of a way to get us out!"

"Okay, step back a bit, I don’t want any accidents with the hoe since it’s blunt."

Su Ran pulled out a novice hoe and got back to his old trade, starting to dig vigorously.

"Rumble."

Just then, a rumbling noise came from above, and a mass of yellow sand poured from the crack like a sandstorm, covering the entire Rift Space with a danger signal. Su Ran and the others realized the peril and their expressions dramatically changed.

"Damn it, it’s going to collapse!"

Panic filled the eyes of the young man as he yelled, "Run!"

"It seems the BOSS is also following us."

Hearing the rumbling noise growing louder, Su Ran’s expression became gravely serious. He made a snap decision, "You guys wait here; I’ll lead that big guy away. Don’t hold on to any hope—just give up on returning to the city!"

"This..."

The young man hesitated, watching Su Ran’s retreating figure and swallowed back his words.

"Overturning Water is planning to sacrifice himself to buy us time to escape, brother, what do you plan to do now?"

Xue Wuqing was uncertain. According to Su Ran, if they gave up returning to the city, reaching Pet Island again would be extremely difficult. But insisting on staying would mean facing the BOSS’s fury, most likely leading to their deaths. Both outcomes were unacceptable to her.

"..."

The young man didn’t say much, looking up at the fleeing figure, his eyes gradually firming up.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded as a huge figure emerged from the sand, attacking in the direction Su Ran had fled. The situation had become extremely severe, even the two women watching were showing faces of horror.

"Heh, think you can ambush me that easily!"

Su Ran had been ready, not startled by the sand monster’s sneak attack. After drawing the BOSS’s aggro, he burst into full speed, easily dodged the attack.

"What comes around goes around, have a taste of my move!"

Su Ran didn’t even look back as he waved his hand behind, a sharp bone spike forming quickly. With a whoosh, the spike slammed into the sand monster, bursting into a green oily fog that successfully stained the creature dark green.

"Hahaha, how do you like that gift?"

Su Ran laughed and darted out of the Rift Space, stepping through the air and after escaping the range of the sand monster’s attack, he finally stopped and looked down at the crack, waiting for the sand monster to emerge.

"Whoosh."

A large surge of sand spewed from the crack like a fountain, shaping into the form of the sand monster in midair, and it launched a straight punch at Su Ran.

"Seriously, with such a bulky body you can jump so high, do you think you’re Shaquille O’Neal?"

Su Ran moved through the air with ease, easily dodging the fierce blow, and casually fired an ice arrow, creating only twenty-some damage to the BOSS, which made Su Ran quickly give up the idea of continuing the attack.

No choice, its skin is thick and it’s hard to find a weak spot!

In that instant, the sand monster spread its arms like a top, began to spin on its own, its speed increasing rapidly, creating a howling wind and Heaven-covering Yellow Sand, forming a daunting sandstorm that rushed towards Su Ran.

"Damn it!"

The wide range of this area attack left Su Ran nowhere to hide. Frustrated, he bellowed, "Who dies is yet to be determined, Ice Vortex, come forth!!!"
