Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1211 - 1124: Death Crisis

"Right, that female ghost just disappeared from here, there’s definitely something fishy about this grave!"

Red-faced Tiger displayed his detective talents, not overlooking even the slightest hint of suspicion.

"Hmm, you have a point."

Upon hearing this, Laughing Tiger nodded thoughtfully, walked up to the gravestone, and scrutinized the three large characters. A moment of dizziness overcame him, and he experienced a very mystical feeling, as if these characters were like a soul-summoning banner, urging his soul to merge with them. Just as his finger was about to touch the gravestone, he suddenly woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Thud, thud, thud."

Laughing Tiger hastily stepped back a few paces and said in a cold voice, "This grave is very sinister, everyone be careful! I want to see what is hidden inside! Even if it’s an evil spirit, dig it out for me! Go!"

Those players equipped with hoes surged forward, digging vigorously.

However.

Just then, the unexpected occurred.

The gravestone began to emanate a bright light, which quickly gathered on the two characters "life" and "death," one black and one white. After the energy built up to its peak, the black and white light burst forth from the constraints of the gravestone and formed a Taiji pattern in mid-air, enveloping the group of miners within a net of black and white light and dragging them all into the gravestone, never to be seen again.

"What is this situation?"

Laughing Tiger was dumbfounded; he knew the gravestone was malevolent, but he hadn’t expected it to be this outrageous. In the blink of an eye, dozens of his subordinates just disappeared?

Could it get any more ridiculous?

"Big Brother, what should we do?"

"Don’t ask me, I also don’t know!"

Laughing Tiger felt an urge to distance himself from this grave. While other people’s graves contained the dead, this one directly devoured the living!

"I always felt there was something off about this gravestone. Should we just smash it?"

Red-faced Tiger shook his powerful arms, clanging his twin hammers together, while the black and white cheetah at his feet let out a muffled roar, as if warning the grave or bolstering his own courage.

"No need for you to act, bring someone to test the reality of the gravestone!"

In Laughing Tiger’s view, this gravestone was fraught with danger, so naturally, he was reluctant to let his own brothers die for nothing. With so many people behind him, a few expendables would suffice.

As it turned out, this gravestone was not to be trifled with.

No matter how many subordinates charged at it, the moment they touched the gravestone, they were sucked into it without exception. Incredibly, the gravestone remained unharmed, while nearly a hundred of his men were lost.

"Stop everyone!" freewebnoveℓ.com

Left with no other option, Laughing Tiger had to order a retreat to avoid facing the embarrassing situation of running out of troops.

"Big Brother, don’t panic just yet."

Black Tiger, who had been silent until now, suddenly interjected, "Although these people are trapped inside, they haven’t died. The gravestone is engraved with the words ’life and death.’ I feel that there might be a great opportunity within this tomb space!"

"Hmm?"

Laughing Tiger was initially startled, then immediately opened up his friend interface, and sure enough, not a single person was dead. This allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief, and he burst into laughter, "Haha, third brother, credit goes to you for this one! With a hidden terrain appearing on Pet Island, your pet might just find its place! Let’s go and venture inside!"

Since there was no danger, Laughing Tiger personally took the lead, charging at the gravestone with his men. The character for "life" lit up, and the group was successively absorbed.

What Laughing Tiger didn’t know was that shortly after they entered, nearly a hundred people on the friend interface dimmed out, as the status of death descended upon them.

The island fell into deathly silence once more, as if nothing had ever happened, everything returning to the starting point.

After an unknown span of time, a figure flew in from the sky. When the camera zoomed in, it was a man in a black robe wearing a mask, without a doubt Su Ran.

"Damn, that was quite far. I hope I’m not too late!"

Su Ran landed on the ground and eyed the circle of tombs in front of him, feeling an itch in his hands. He really wanted to dig up these graves with a hoe and indulge himself!

However, he knew that the situation did not allow for it. Yu Jing was still trapped in that tomb space, and according to her last message, a large number of players had entered here. Looking at the current situation, he estimated they had all probably gone in by now.

"What a pity, so many treasure-filled tombs. How many good things I could dig up... Hey, isn’t this delaying things?"

Su Ran couldn’t help but sweep a glance of reluctance over the graves underfoot before steeling his heart and heading towards the most lavish tomb in the forefront.

Through the coordinates, it was not hard to guess that this tomb was his target. After he arrived in front of the tombstone, he recognized the characters ’Life and Death Decision’ at a glance.

"The character for ’death’..."

Looking at the characters for life and death, Su Ran couldn’t help but be speechless. He really didn’t know what Yu Jing was thinking, ignoring the character for ’life’ and instead touching the one for ’death’. It was like lighting a lamp in the outhouse—was she looking for trouble?

"Let’s dig and take a look first; if it doesn’t work out, I’ll go look for them!"

Su Ran couldn’t suppress the urge within him; after all, the tomb in front of him was far superior to the Tomb of the Undead in Sinister Grave Ridge! He couldn’t just give up on this excellent tomb so easily.

Unable to go against his inner desires, Su Ran simply took out the newbie hoe and began digging without any hesitation!

However.

What Su Ran didn’t expect was that the tombstone emitted a bright light; the Taiji pattern formed once more, and he didn’t escape the usual fate of being enveloped by the light net.

"Damn it, how could the mechanism be triggered without touching the tombstone? Yu Jing didn’t mention this, did she?"

No sooner had Su Ran thought this than he was pulled towards the tombstone by a powerful suction. In the last moment, he barely touched the character for ’death’, and his entire vision and consciousness vanished.

"Thump."

Su Ran fell hard to the ground, nearly breaking his entire skeleton to pieces. Strangely, he felt no pain at the moment, nor could he control his body. Even the Bone Soul Ghost Fire in his eyes had gone out.

As the saying goes, when a man dies, the light goes out; at this moment, Su Ran was like a corpse, lying motionless on the ground.

Even stranger was that the system did not send a character death notification, and the treasures within his inventory had not exploded out. This eased Su Ran’s mind and also gave him some insight: the death mode within the ’Life and Death Decision’ had already begun.

"Gurgle, gurgle."

A rolling sound came from afar, and a giant stone over two meters high appeared in the space, shaking the ground with its intense rolling, the sound drawing nearer to him. This sent Su Ran’s heart racing, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t move his body, he couldn’t summon his pet, nor use any skills; all he could do was wait helplessly for the verdict of death to come.

"Lin Yuting, oh Lin Yuting, you’ve really done me in this time!"

Su Ran complained through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with despair. If he were to die this time, the loss would be enormous; all the treasures in his inventory would explode out, taking him back to square one. But he had no choice, this was a system-enforced death penalty, unavoidable!

It has always been said that beauty brings disaster, and the saying indeed held true!

However.

Just as Su Ran was prepared to be crushed by the giant stone, something unexpected happened.

The giant stone bounced as it rolled and, just as it was about to roll over him, it popped up, flying towards his skeleton with a fierce momentum. Ironically, it landed precisely on Su Ran’s bladder, and with a ’swoosh’, the giant stone was gone.
