Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1215 - 1128: The Blood Pool

"Swoosh."

Lin Yuqing quickly applied the Healing Technique on her older sister, and in no time, her health was fully restored. However, oddly enough, the Stone Giant’s health couldn’t be replenished. They didn’t pay much attention to it until now when Yu Jing’s pale complexion finally returned to normal.

"Overturning Water, is your pet okay? Won’t its loyalty decrease if it’s too far away?"

As the trio delved deeper, Yu Jing finally couldn’t hold back and voiced her doubts. This was common knowledge in the game; if a pet was too far from its owner, its loyalty would trend downward. There was also a certain chance the pet would revolt. Thus, most players wouldn’t dare let their pets stray too far. But Su Ran went against the grain, seemingly unworried.

"It’s fine."

For Su Ran, none of those Undead creatures had the ability to fly, so how could he worry about his clone’s safety? As for loyalty betrayal and such, it was completely nonsensical. After he felt that enough time had passed, he summoned his clone back, having narrowly escaped death once again.

"By the way, check the next clue the system task gave you. We can’t keep running around blindly; that’s no solution."

Since Su Ran wasn’t subject to death penalties, the system naturally didn’t send him any hints. He could only rely on the two sisters to act as his guides.

"Keep moving forward, and you will come to a dried-up pool. In the center, there is a blood-filled trough. What we need to do is fill the trough with blood to open the portal to the third stage."

Yu Jing looked at the task prompt sent by the system and felt somewhat baffled, "Where will this blood come from? They can’t expect us to bleed ourselves, can they? That would be terrifying!"

"Hey, not bad thinking there. It’s a waste you’re not a scriptwriter."

Su Ran shook his head and smiled. Now that he knew where they were headed, he kept moving towards the so-called pool without further discussion.

"Older sister, have you noticed? The visibility here is much better than before. At least there is light now."

Lin Yuqing, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. The presence of light in this tomb space was indeed an exciting and hopeful sign that they were getting closer to leaving this place.

"Haven’t you noticed Little Su taking the lead in front already? This guy, no sense of romance at all—really a killjoy."

Yu Jing gave Su Ran’s back a disdainful glance and sighed softly, feeling that the road to romantic revolution was still very long and that one mustn’t be too impatient.

"..."

Lin Yuqing pursed her lips, feeling like laughing. If Little Su were to behave romantically towards her sister, wouldn’t that be awkward?!

"Ah, little sister, how do you think this blockhead can be enlightened? It’s not like I’m going to throw myself at him—that would be too embarrassing!"

Yu Jing whispered to Lin Yuqing, keeping her voice down, "Little Su is so smart and capable. Surely he can see how I feel about him. Could it be... he doesn’t like my type?"

"Older sister, stop thinking about these useless things. You’re more and more like Lin Daiyu as you go on. Is that really fun for you?"

Lin Yuqing felt a bit of sympathy for her sister. She thought the joke had been taken too far. Seeing her sister wallowing in self-pity, Lin Yuqing really wanted to reveal Su Ran’s secret to her, but that would involve Su Ran’s biggest secret. If it were to be disclosed, the consequences would be unthinkable!

She didn’t dare to take that risk, not knowing how her sister would react out of embarrassed anger.

However.

Lin Yuqing knew that Little Su certainly had self-control, so she was at ease. At this moment, she felt a sweet surge within her. She alone was privileged to share Su Ran’s greatest secret—that was satisfaction enough for her.

"What are you two mumbling about? Hurry up; we’ve reached the pool!"

Su Ran saw the pool mentioned in the task prompt, and it was indeed dried up, with cracks running through the ground. He turned his head and saw the sisters whispering something to each other behind him, moving more slowly, and he couldn’t help but urge them to hurry up.

The sisters then quickened their pace and came to the edge of the pool, where they saw a huge ’Undead’ character formed by a groove in the center.

"Overturning Water, what should we do next?"

Lin Yuqing had come to completely rely on Su Ran as the leader, always turning to him for solving problems, something she wasn’t even aware of herself. freewebnσvel.cøm

"How should I know? It’s not my task, and you have the task prompt but don’t read it, that’s really something."

"Eh? There really has been a change, there’s a button at each of the four cardinal directions of the pool, east, west, north, and south. Activating them will fill the blood groove with ’Bloodwater,’ and with it, a corresponding number of BOSS will appear. After killing the BOSS, the blood groove must be filled before the next level’s teleportation array will appear."

Having said that, Lin Yuqing finally sighed with relief, "Thank goodness we don’t have to use our own blood, that’s scary!"

"..."

Su Ran was already beyond the point of complaining. Without lingering, he leaped into the air and dashed towards the pool, first going to the closest wall, where, indeed, he found a button with a diameter of twenty centimeters.

"Click."

The button was pressed down, and the wall parted to reveal a pitch-black skeleton warrior stepping out, its bone scythe gleaming with a cold light, obviously not an ordinary weapon.

"Thankfully, it’s just a level 35 BOSS, not too difficult."

Su Ran was relieved and decisively went to the other three walls, pressing the embedded buttons in turn.

There was no helping it, as the task prompt made it clear that only when the buttons on all four walls were activated simultaneously would the Bloodwater pour in, and four skeleton warrior BOSSes were not much of a challenge for the three of them.

"Splash."

Bloodwater began to flow into the pool from the four walls, and soon the bottom of the pool was tinged with blood-red.

The sisters were not fools and quickly understood Su Ran’s intention, launching an attack on one of them to help reduce the pressure on Su Ran.

"Once we kill these four BOSSes, the teleportation array will appear, let’s go!"

Seeing Su Ran successfully break away from the skeleton warriors’ encirclement, Lin Yuqing put all her focus into the battle. As for losing 500 health per minute, with her sister the Healer there, there was no real cause for concern.

Besides, all three of them had remote jobs, so there was no need for a Stone Giant to go in for close combat, thus avoiding the danger of coming into contact with the Bloodwater.

In their eyes, this Bloodwater was definitely not ordinary; otherwise, why wouldn’t the system arrange for clear water to be used for filling?

The skeleton warriors were only level 35 Silver BOSSes, with the only thing to watch out for being their ranged attacks. Other than that, there wasn’t much to be concerned about and it didn’t take long for the four skeleton warriors to be killed one after another, falling into the blood pool.

However.

Before the blood groove was filled, bubbles started to gurgle up from the pool, and the four supposed-to-be-dead skeleton warriors stood up once again, their bones turning from black to red, and the murderous intent in their eyes growing even more intense.

"Damn it, how are they alive again?!"
