Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1170 - 1089: Three Against One

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

Su Ran’s bone scythe began to spin crazily in his hands, quickly forming an Ice Vortex. The two wild winds clashed with each other, wreaking havoc. Su Ran, suspended in the air, couldn’t withstand the recoil from the collision and was sent flying, crashing viciously onto the tower’s top. The impact was so great that it caused multiple crisp sounds from his bones.

"Hahaha, I bet right!"

Although Su Ran was thrown into a mess, he was not in any life-threatening danger. The amount of health he lost could easily be recovered with a few blades of graveyard grass—it was negligible.

Indeed, the Ice Vortex he had triggered greatly offset the damage from the sandstorm, which left Su Ran feeling immensely relieved.

"Roar!!"

The BOSS let out a dull roar from its throat, leaping off the ground and charging towards Su Ran in mid-air with powerful momentum.

"Hey, big guy, getting angry from embarrassment? You really can’t handle provocation!"

Su Ran grinned, not taking the sand creature’s attack seriously at all. With such a heavy body, just the force of gravity was enough to give it trouble. Moving like a clown, jumping here and there—if he paid a little attention, it wouldn’t be much of a threat.

"Big guy, bring out all your skills. I’ll take them all!"

Su Ran easily dodged the sand creature’s jumping attack, taking advantage of its inability to fly, and boldly toyed with the BOSS.

"Overturning Water, we’re here to help you!"

A crisp female voice came from the crack, followed by a snow-white Pegasus and a fiery-red Firebird soaring into the sky, with Cream Boy and Xue Wuqing appearing in Su Ran’s field of vision.

"You two are just messing around!"

Seeing that these two ladies hadn’t left but instead had voluntarily exposed themselves in front of the BOSS, Su Ran thought that they were deliberately making a mess for him.

He had intended to wait for them to leave before figuring out a way to dig through the ground to escape, but now, he would have to think long term.

"Overturning Water, what should we do next? We can’t just whittle it down little by little, can we?"

Cream Boy changed the subject, focusing on the BOSS below.

At this moment, Xue Wuqing was busy causing trouble for the sand creature. The ice spear in her hands was incredibly tricky, and the sand creature BOSS could not keep up with her attack rhythm, briefly falling into an unfavorable position.

"This BOSS has high defense and thick health, with fierce attacks. It’s like a tank, with no easy way to start!"

Su Ran looked at the sand creature below, frantically howling, and said in a concentrated voice, "As long as we can find its weakness, there might be a chance to kill it. But that’s easier said than done, isn’t it?"

"Weakness..."

Cream Boy fell into deep thought, staying with his bird suspended in mid-air.

Suddenly.

The sand creature, tired of being sneaked upon by Xue Wuqing, let out a roar to the sky. The hardened sandy shell on its body began to fall off automatically, gathering on the ground to form several miniature sand creatures about thirty centimeters tall—mere dots compared to the original.

"Roar! Roar!"

With bloodshot eyes, the sand creature roared incessantly, the sound waves continuously trembling, causing even Su Ran to struggle with maintaining balance, which reflected the intensity of the noise. Once the mini sand creatures had fully taken shape, the BOSS then scooped up five or six of them, flinging them forcefully towards Xue Wuqing in the air.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

These miniature sand creatures, like artillery shells, tore through the bond of air and aimed high, middle, and low, leaving no chance for Xue Wuqing to escape.

"Be careful!"

Su Ran immediately spotted the peril Xue Wuqing was in, but unfortunately, he was too far away to help her block this sudden sneak attack. He could only alert her by shouting, hoping she would dodge on her own.

Alas.

The small sand monster was so fast that before Su Ran’s voice had even faded, it had already collided with her. Xue Wuqing had no time to dodge and in a panicked reaction, she threw out an Ice Spear, skewering and sending the sand monster that came from the road flying on the spot. As for the remaining four or five, they all turned their attention to the body of the Pegasus, relentlessly bashing it without mercy.

The Pegasus let out a mournful cry and could no longer maintain its balance, tumbling from the sky. Even Xue Wuqing, with a frosty expression, looked panic-stricken as she tried her best to regain control of the Pegasus beneath her, hoping to make it take to the air again. But to no avail, she soon realized that the Pegasus could no longer obey her commands and could only watch helplessly as it crashed heavily to the ground.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Seeing its prey had fallen, the sand monster boss was not about to let her escape and charged towards Xue Wuqing. Upon getting into attack range, it violently swung a straight punch, aiming straight for Xue Wuqing below.

"Damn it!"

Facing this deadly blow, Xue Wuqing wanted to steer her mount out of the way but to her despair, the Pegasus’ hooves were entangled by the little sand monsters and couldn’t even move, let alone avoid the attack.

With no other choice, Xue Wuqing made the decision to abandon her mount to save herself and briskly discarded her Pegasus, fleeing to one side.

After losing the aerial advantage, not even if Xue Wuqing had a hundred times the courage would she dare to engage in close combat with this boss.

"Boom!"

The boss’s iron fist mercilessly smashed into the Pegasus, unleashing a terrifying force that exploded on impact. Unable to endure such damage, the Pegasus collapsed on the spot, turning into a streak of light and flying back into Xue Wuqing’s pet space.

"Overturning Water, go save her!"

The Creamy Youngster attacked the boss below like a madman, hoping to draw its aggro and buy some time for Xue Wuqing to escape.

Unfortunately, the sand monster seemed to have made up its mind like iron, ignoring the Creamy Youngster’s frantic bombardment from behind and relentlessly locked onto Xue Wuqing, initiating a cat-and-mouse chase after her.

"Bang!"

Su Ran was not like the Creamy Youngster, blindly attacking the sand monster boss. As he approached it, he threw out a purple flame at the sand monster.

In an instant.

The Purple Fire exploded thunderously, a thick pillar of fire rising up, trapping the sand monster within. The purple flames, like ropes, bound it tightly, greatly reducing the sand monster’s mobility. Unable to break free from the Netherworld Purple Fire, the sand monster gave up on chasing Xue Wuqing.

Consequently, Xue Wuqing gained a temporary reprieve. Without any hesitation, as soon as her battle state ended, she pulled out a Town Recall Scroll and crushed it, transforming into a white light that vanished from the fourth layer of space.

"Phew."

Seeing Xue Wuqing successfully escape, Su Ran subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. He had to admit her choice was the right one; had she stubbornly stayed after losing the aerial advantage, she would have only been a burden and eventually couldn’t have avoided being taken down!

As long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood!

"Overturning Water, be careful!"

The Creamy Youngster exclaimed in alarm, pulling Su Ran back to reality. He then noticed that three small sand monsters were diving at him — their target being himself!

"Hmph, the same old trick, you really think it’ll still work?"

Against the three attacking sand monsters, Su Ran snorted disdainfully and immediately activated the Heaven-covering Yellow Sand skill.
