Chapter 1189: Chapter 105: The Treasure Coffin Acquired
"If this is really the Corpse Hiding Map, then I’ve really struck it rich!"
Su Ran’s eyes blazed with Soul Fire, his heart surging with excitement. He knew that his few moments of wealth had all been thanks to the Corpse Hiding Map, including that Five-clawed Bone Dragon King!
"Haha, Xue Wuqing really is a lucky charm, first the Pet Fusion Stone and now an Ice Crystal Coffin—this is just too awesome!"
Su Ran really wanted his true self to follow down and claim that coffin for himself, but after giving it some thought, he immediately abandoned this impractical idea. What if there were other dangers lurking around the coffin? Wouldn’t that be like walking into the line of fire?
To confirm his suspicions, Su Ran first sent the Dark Bone Lion forward as a minesweeper, charging towards the Ice Crystal Coffin.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two purple-black tentacles burst out from the ground, Wrapping around the Dark Bone Lion.
"I knew it, there’s a trick to this place!"
Su Ran was prepared and not too surprised; under his command, the Dark Bone Lion let out a mighty roar. Unexpectedly, the Lion’s Roar had no effect on the tentacles, and the lion was caught off guard. Its body, entangled in the tentacles, became more tightly bound as it struggled, and even its bones started to creak.
"It’s now or never!"
While the Dark Bone Lion was drawing fire, Su Ran’s consciousness returned in an instant, and he hurriedly crawled into the passageway, darting deeper.
There was no other way.
The Ice Crystal Coffin was simply too tempting, and Su Ran had no reason to give up on it!
Soon, he reached the end of the passageway. To his surprise, the place had returned to calm; the two purple tentacles were gone without a trace, and not even the remains of the Dark Bone Lion could be seen.
Su Ran was not quite ready to give up and tried to shift his vision onto the lion, but it was in vain. It was only then that he was convinced that the Dark Bone Lion had been dragged underground, becoming a miserably dead undead.
"Since there are only a few tentacles, there’s a chance to get close to this coffin!"
As long as he had time to touch the coffin, Su Ran was determined to teach the system a lesson and let it experience what was called a lightning heist!
"Clack, clack."
Su Ran summoned ten shield-bearing skeletons and had them scatter around the corners of the coffin. He planned to use these skeletons as decoys to draw the hatred of the tentacles. That way, he wouldn’t need to skulk around like a thief and could go fetch it openly and honestly.
But.
As it turned out, Su Ran’s thinking was naïve.
Several blasts echoed one after another as ten tentacles emerged almost simultaneously from beneath the ground, sweeping towards the stunned undead skeletons.
"Damn, there are so many!"
Su Ran had no time for hesitation. He immediately used the Time Rewind ability, and ten more skeletons burrowed out from the ground, shaking their bone shields and continuing to disperse forwards. freewebnøvel.com
"Fortunately, those ten tentacles are the limit, so the difficulty isn’t too great."
Seeing that no further movement came from beneath the ground and that only these ten tentacles were fending off the invading skeletons, Su Ran no longer hesitated. He stepped void above the coffin and quickly, while all the tentacles’ hatred was on the shield-bearing skeletons, rushed downwards, slamming his shield forcefully against the coffin.
In that instant, a miracle happened.
The massive Ice Crystal Coffin vanished on the spot, and the entire space suddenly felt much more open.
After the coffin was stolen, the tentacles released a fury of emotions, instantly rioting and strangling all the surrounding shield-wielding skeletons before turning unanimously to attack Su Ran.
Unfortunately.
Su Ran had fled the moment he got his hands on the coffin, paying no heed to the fate of the shield-wielding skeletons behind him. As long as he escaped from this place, he would be as free as a bird in the sky!
...
Xue Wuqing was methodically attacking the tentacles below; she knew that only by drawing all of the boss’s tentacle hatred towards herself could Overturning Water have a better chance to explore the secrets underneath.
Having realized this crucial point, Xue Wuqing dared not slack off, provocatively challenging all the tentacles, and even triggered a multiple ice arrows spell during the process, which gave her a pleasant surprise.
Suddenly.
The tentacles went insane, forcibly breaking the hold of their enmity, abandoning Xue Wuqing in the air, and frantically burrowing into the ground.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Xue Wuqing’s pupils shrank drastically, and she went all-out on offense, disregarding defense altogether, attacking the retracting tentacles with all her might. But no matter how desperately she tried, she couldn’t stop them and could only watch helplessly as the tentacles disappeared from her sight.
"What on earth is happening down there?!"
At this moment, Xue Wuqing was extremely anxious yet powerless, praying in her heart that Su Ran wouldn’t encounter any danger and come back safely.
Just at this critical moment, Su Ran escaped from the passage in a most disheveled state, soaring into the sky. A large number of tentacles were vigorously lashing at him in midair, but to no avail.
"Run fast!"
Su Ran didn’t dare to linger, putting in all his effort as if his life depended on it to flee upwards, and narrowly escaped the tentacles’ attack range.
"Overturning Water, I’m glad you’re okay. Do you have any idea, you scared me to death just now!"
Xue Wuqing quickly caught up with Su Ran, looking nervously at the constantly twisting tentacles below before complaining to him, "These things just went crazy a moment ago; I couldn’t keep their attention on me no matter what, how bizarre!"
"I wiped out their lair below, it’s no wonder the guardian boss went mad!"
Su Ran laughed heartily, feeling an immense sense of excitement after surviving a close call. The thought of that mysterious Ice Crystal Coffin was enough to make his marrow boil with excitement and even caused his skeleton to tremble with a physiological response.
"Quick, tell me, what good stuff did you steal?"
Xue Wuqing was genuinely happy for Su Ran and wanted to share in the joy of his bounty, but before she could continue, an earth-shattering noise erupted from below, drawing her attention. She took one look and involuntarily gasped in shock.
"This... isn’t this too exaggerated?"
When she saw the scene below, she couldn’t help but exclaim. She had never imagined that under the frenzied outburst of the tentacles, the glacial island would collapse thunderously. The tentacles stirred violently in the sea, causing waves to surge and repeatedly slam into the island, submerging it under the sea, never to resurface again.
The glacial island, after this event, had become a thing of history.
"My god, this boss is really freakishly strong. Good thing I wasn’t caught by those tentacles; otherwise, death would have been certain!"
Su Ran looked a bit dazed, now realizing just how dangerous his decision had been. If it hadn’t been for his freakish abilities, facing this super boss, survival would have been nearly impossible!
But, there are no what-ifs in the world. He had succeeded, and that was the final outcome. Even the system wouldn’t be able to change that fact. The Ice Crystal Coffin was now entirely his!
