Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1181 - 1098: Treasure and Crisis (Two in One)_2

"This is the teleportation array we visited before; the danger beyond this point might increase significantly, so we need to be very careful."

Su Ran reminded kindly, only to be met with a huge eye roll.

"I’ve said it before—we’ve already been through this channel once, yet you’re still overly cautious. Now look, I’ve lost all my pets. Let’s see how you’re going to lead the way now."

During their passage through the channel, Xue Wuqing saw Su Ran successively summoning the Shield Skeleton, then the Dark Bone Lion, the Iron-blood Sand Puppet, and finally, even the Corpse Centipede was called forth. By the time they reached the teleportation array, the Corpse Centipede’s health was critically low, so Su Ran recalled it into the pet space.

However,

Su Ran now faced the awkward situation of having no pets available for use. Xue Wuqing was curious to see how many more pets he could utilize!

"Using pets to scout the way is no longer effective here; the temperature is too low. Even if summoned, they wouldn’t last long. We must rely on the two of us now."

Su Ran, very sensibly, did not summon any more pets and instead used the bone scythe in his hand to cut through the icy elements in the air as he explored ahead.

Ah, if only I had the Ice-gold Jiao Dragon at my disposal. Using it to scout in this space would have been a piece of cake, right?

What a pity. Wrong timing!

"Huff, puff..."

A strange noise came from the depths of the darkness, startling both of them and slowing their advance. Xue Wuqing simply stopped in place.

"Overturning Water, what’s that sound up ahead? Could it be another BOSS?"

"Who knows—let’s go find out."

Su Ran gripped the bone scythe tighter for courage. He had lifesaving skills, as long as he wasn’t instantly killed, he had a chance to escape!

"I have a bad feeling that something unfortunate is about to happen. Overturning Water, I’m sorry; I’ve dragged you into this... "

"Look at what you’re saying—it’s as if we’re parting in life and death. Women are always so melodramatic, haha."

To ease the tense atmosphere, Su Ran laughed, flew into the air, and said, "Miss Wu Qing, wait here for a bit. I’ll go scout out the enemy!"

"Don’t worry, I’m tough to kill!"

Having declared this confidently, Su Ran walked away without looking back, leaving only his silhouette for Xue Wuqing.

"This guy, at a time like this, still showing off his ability!"

Xue Wuqing, annoyed, stomped her foot and did not follow Su Ran’s instructions. Instead, she rushed after him.

"Eh?"

Upon reaching the deepest part of the corridor, Su Ran discovered something peculiar—a large area was covered by a pool of solid ice, and not far ahead, there was a large ice bear, trapped in the ice, continuously digging at it and snorting nonstop.

It’s worth mentioning that there was an eye-catching dark gold treasure chest in the middle of the pool of solid ice.

"Haha, a treasure chest!"

Su Ran was delighted; he loved dark gold treasure chests, as they held rich rewards and could possibly contain superb dark gold equipment!

We’re in for a fortune!

Suppressing his inner excitement, Su Ran took a spin in the air and noticed no other hazards besides the trapped ice bear, so he decided to go back and call Xue Wuqing over to share his joy.

However,

No sooner had Su Ran turned around than he saw Xue Wuqing’s valiant figure. At this, he couldn’t help shaking his head in mild exasperation and walked over, asking in a low voice, "Didn’t I tell you to wait back there? How did you get here so quickly?"

"I couldn’t stand by and watch you head towards your death. I wouldn’t be able to live with the guilt."

Xue Wuqing said this, but her eyes were fixed on the ice bear, revealing a hint of joy, "Overturning Water, can you help me? I want to catch that ice bear as a pet!"

"Heh, you don’t aim small, do you? But are you sure you want to catch this ice bear?"

Su Ran was surprised by Xue Wuqing’s bold idea. Capturing adult wild beasts often had a very low success rate and not much growth potential, hardly worth the effort.

"Yes, it suits my attributes."

Xue Wuqing nodded, feeling that the ice bear was the pet she’d been waiting for from the first glance. This feeling was quite mystical and beyond scientific explanation.

"Alright then, I’ll do my best to help you. Whether you succeed or not in capturing it depends on your luck; no one can help you with that."

After saying this, Su Ran glanced at the dark gold chest in the middle and asked, "Miss Wu Qing, do you want to try catching the pet first or should we open the chest?"

"Nonsense, of course, we open the treasure chest first. The ice bear is uncertain; we shouldn’t lose the dark gold chest because of it. We don’t have any regret medicine!"

Xue Wuqing stepped forward, not disturbing the ice bear that was still digging and tested the hardness of the ice with her ice spear before saying, "Overturning Water, you go and open the chest. The ice can support the weight of one person, so no worries."

Su Ran looked dubiously at the ice and really didn’t dare to step on it to test it. This statement seemed a bit exaggerated; could one really determine the solidity of the ice just by prodding it with a spear? Was she trying to fool him?

However, equipped with the Treading on Air Technique, Su Ran was not concerned with the ice layer at all. Standing tall, he rose a couple of centimeters in height and took a bold step forward and glided towards the enticing dark gold chest.

At this moment, Su Ran had made up his mind—if he was to take action, it had to be swift, accurate, and ruthless!

There was no other way, considering the system’s nature. It was downright illogical to not have a Guardian Beast next to a dark gold treasure chest!
