Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1185 - 1101: A Terrifying Moment

"Haha, it wasn’t easy, but I finally took down that clumsy bear!"

Retrieving the Soul Locking Ash Box, Su Ran sealed the soul of the Ice Bear Boss within it, adding another Undead Warrior to the summonable fold.

So far, Su Ran had acquired two boss souls, the other belonging to that Sand Monster, making his pet army even more formidable.

As for the Ice Bear’s corpse, Su Ran didn’t let it go to waste either–he stuffed it right into his bladder. Later on, he could transform it into an Undead Skeleton, significantly enhancing his strength attributes. How could he miss out on that!

"Overturning Water, you’re such an oddball. You don’t pick up the Dark Gold Key on the ground, but you’re so interested in that corpse. Your hobbies are indeed unusual," said Xue Wuqing with a look of disdain, as she dismounted and picked up the key herself, chuckling, "Anyway, since it wasn’t in your eyes, forget about getting your hands on the treasures from the chest!"

"Is that so?"

Picking up the spherical item that was rolling about, Su Ran glanced at its properties and instantly grinned.

"Overturning Water, what’s that in your hand?"

Xue Wuqing sensed something was off and immediately asked. She knew it was a rare item from Su Ran’s tone; it seemed likely the orb was something meant for her use.

Could it be...

An Ice series Pet Egg?

Xue Wuqing’s gaze at the sphere instantly heated up.

"See for yourself."

Su Ran turned the properties of the sphere into an illustrated handbook and sent it to Wu Qing.

[Ice Ball](Special)

Ice attack +5%, freezing effect +1, with a chance to trigger Multi-shot Ice Arrows.

Note: Effective when placed in the inventory; death drop rate increased by 20%.

"This..."

Upon seeing the Ice Ball attributes, Wu Qing’s mind went blank as she stood frozen in place, the Dark Gold Key in her hand suddenly losing much of its luster.

"You said it yourself, forget about the treasures in the chest," Su Ran quipped as he tossed the sphere into the air, smirking with a teasing gleam in his eye.

"Don’t throw it; what if it breaks?"

With Wu Qing’s thoughts fixated on the Ice Ball, her heart leapt to her throat every time Su Ran threw it, terrified of any mishap that would leave her with regrets.

"Overturning Water, you can use this Ice Ball too since you have Ice Magic Techniques, which can increase the power of your skills. You keep this treasure for yourself, stop thinking about me."

After the initial burst of excitement, Wu Qing realized that Overturning Water could use it just as well, and there was no need to vie for it anymore; her performance moments ago had been rather embarrassing.

"Don’t play the self-sacrificial hero. I have a mere two Ice Magic Techniques, keeping it would just be a waste. You’re different; all your moves deal frost damage. This Ice Ball would have a much stronger effect with you. Moreover, it was you who discovered this terrain. I’m just here for the fun; it’s only right that this magic item belongs to you."

Su Ran didn’t say that he already had a Cold Ice Orb, which was sufficient for him; a 5% damage increase wouldn’t have much effect. The only highlight was the possibility of the Multi-shot Ice Arrows, but the trigger rate wasn’t clear and likely wasn’t high.

"Then...I won’t be polite with you,"

Snatching the Ice Ball from him, Wu Qing tossed the Dark Gold Key back to Su Ran quite generously, "The treasure chest is yours. Go ahead and open it!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, unless it has something I can use, then we’ll talk again~~"

Ever since she got the Ice Ball, the smile hadn’t left Wu Qing’s face, and she didn’t show much interest in the Dark Gold Level treasure chest.

"Heh, you’ve learned to play it clever this time."

Su Ran laughed a few times, took a few steps in the air, and arrived above the Dark Gold Treasure Chest. Without any hesitation, he jumped down. After all, he had already killed the Guardian Beasts, there was nothing left to worry about.

With the Dark Gold Treasure Chest key in hand, Su Ran easily opened the chest. Inside was a snowy white Pet Egg, a Golden Level Pet-catching Scroll, a black and white Rubik’s Cube, as well as a folded piece of cloth; the rest were various potions, filling up the entire Dark Gold Treasure Chest.

"As expected of a Dark Gold Level, it really did contain some great items!"

Su Ran first fixed his gaze on the Pet Egg. Feeling the strong life force within the shell, he knew without guessing that this pet’s strength must be extraordinary.

"Stop bluffing, let me see it."

Xue Wuqing knew that the Dark Gold Treasure Chest would contain good items and was full of anticipation. Seeing that Su Ran was delaying in collecting the treasures, she couldn’t help but urge him on with an anxious voice.

"You’ll know in a minute."

Su Ran grinned and stuffed all the treasures below into his bladder, feeling completely satisfied.

However.

Just as the Dark Gold Treasure Chest was emptied, as if triggering some mechanism, there was a loud rumble. The chest sank, and the entire space began to shake. Plenty of ice debris started falling down.

"This is bad, it’s going to collapse!"

Su Ran had experienced a Sand Tower collapse once before, and the final outcome was total annihilation. If it happened again now, wouldn’t that mean risking his life?

Moreover, his Magic Technique Bone Burst was still cooling down; he simply couldn’t escape this disaster!

Could it be...

Was he destined to die here today?

Su Ran was not willing to give in. His teeth clenching loudly, he increased his escaping speed by another notch, sprinting a hundred meters.

"Overturning Water, run for it!"

Seeing the relentless trembling of the space, Wu Qing’s face changed drastically. She screamed, threw the ice sphere into her bag, and rode her pegasus towards the passage to escape.

"Boom."

Large sections of the ice layer began to crack, chunks of rock fell into the pond, splashing water in all directions as if it was the end of the world. The situation was extremely urgent. Both ran for their lives, hoping to escape alive before the ice mountain collapsed.

Luckily.

The system wasn’t too ruthless. They managed to escape at the last moment before the ice mountain collapsed, and both of them ended up saving their lives.

A tall ice mountain turned directly into ruins, with a spectacle so magnificent it was rarely seen.

"Phew, that was close!"

Wu Qing slumped over the back of the pegasus, completely drained of energy and somewhat still in shock. She looked worriedly at Su Ran, "Overturning Water, you didn’t leave any treasures behind, did you?"

"No."

Because he had been on edge for an extended period, Su Ran was also extremely tired, but fortunately, he didn’t need to catch his breath, so he didn’t appear too disheveled.

"I can’t believe we brought down a mountain!"

Wu Qing glanced back at the ruins, her eyes filled with shock. It took a while for her to recover. Then she dismounted and walked over to Su Ran, stretching out her hand, "What good stuff did the chest contain? Hurry up and show me."

"Just a moment."

Su Ran fiddled around his groin for a while, pulling out all the loot he just got, including the potions, and laid them out on the ground.

"This is... a Pet Egg!"

The moment Su Ran pulled out the Pet Egg, Wu Qing could no longer maintain her composure and exclaimed in astonishment.
