Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1217 - 1130: Troublesome

"Big sis, if you keep talking like this, I’m really going to stop talking to you!"

Lin Yuqing pretended to be angry and glared at her older sister, feeling like she was always making fun of her for no reason, which was just too hateful!

"Come on, little sis, can’t I even make a joke now?"

"Hmm!"

...

The environment here was dark and dreary. Su Ran, shielded by his dark robe, encountered no dangers as he walked, but to his surprise, instead of the dried-up pond he had expected, he found only a long corridor.

"Strange, the task flow in survival mode is really different. There’s no blood pool either – where could the half of the key be hidden then?"

Su Ran felt this exploration wasn’t as simple as he had imagined. At any moment, he might encounter a large group of people, and if that happened, the arena’s life-and-death fight wouldn’t be far off.

This was not a scene Su Ran wanted to see. What he urgently wanted now was to get that half of the key and, hopefully, open the golden treasure chest before the other players, and find a way to escape from the tomb space.

"This treatment is really a bit uncomfortable."

As Su Ran walked down the corridor, he did not encounter a single monster. If this had been death mode, by now, dozens of Undead creatures would have been surrounding and blocking him – it wouldn’t have been this quiet!

At this moment, Su Ran didn’t know whether to complain or not. Survival mode was a matter of a moment’s thought, but why on earth would she choose death mode?

It’s just looking for trouble!

And she got both himself and Yu Jing involved...

If Su Ran knew that a group of unfortunate players had just entered and lost over a hundred people, he probably wouldn’t have thought this way.

"Huh?"

After passing through the long corridor, Su Ran discovered a fork in the path. After pondering for a moment, he chose to continue moving forward, and soon, he saw a light shining ahead.

"Is this... the exit?"

Su Ran suddenly became excited and ran towards the light, only to realize when he got there that it was the familiar Energy Shield.

Through the Energy Shield, Su Ran finally saw the large group of players. They were energetically cracking the maze’s puzzle, and their focused expressions made Su Ran reluctant to disturb them.

"Seriously, it’s just a maze, and it’s been holding them back for so long? They really need to recharge their brains!"

Su Ran felt anxious for their mental capacity, but this wasn’t bad either. With the maze keeping them busy, he didn’t have much to worry about when looking for the half of the key.

The chance was rare.

Su Ran didn’t make himself conspicuous and quietly retreated, heading toward the other fork in the corridor.

...

"Big bro, is this maze ever going to be solvable?"

Red-faced Tiger was so frustrated that he burst out angrily, "We’ve successfully solved it several times now, yet the maze still won’t disappear. Isn’t this nonsense?"

"Damn, how would I know? This level is just freaking bizarre! Hundreds of our brothers have been blocked by this tiny maze map for so long. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous if word got out?"

By this time, Red-faced Tiger wasn’t smiling anymore; his face was so dark it could drip water, "Let’s solve it a few more times. Maybe there’s a limit to the number of times. If not, let’s just break through by force!"

"Fine~"

The players responded lacklusterly, having been tormented by this labyrinth so much that they were left in low spirits, almost as if they had been ruined by a man to those who were unaware of the situation.

The group began to decipher once more, with copious brain cells burning up their microcosm, aiming solely to pass through this detestable level.

...

"Hey, there’s certainly something fishy here!"

Seeing the lush giant tree ahead, Su Ran suddenly perked up. He didn’t venture forward with his true self but instead summoned his Undead army, ten shield-bearing skeletons.

"Clack, clack, clack."

The Undead skeletons, with their dull eyes, surrounded the giant tree, quite imposing in number.

"Swish, swish, swish."

Just as the ten skeletons approached the giant tree, the branches shook violently, countless leaves transformed into hidden weapons, assaulting the invading Undead.

Luckily,

The Undead skeletons, protected by Bone Shields, suffered no significant damage. After withstanding the leaf barrage, they reached the tree and raised their Bone Blades to chop down, in a simple and direct manner.

"It’s bizarre, is this all the power this tree has?"

Seeing that the giant tree had only acted once and then remained motionless, allowing the Undead skeletons to attack, Su Ran felt a sense of foreboding and suspected things were not as simple as he imagined. Surely, the tree had not yet unleashed its major move.

Unintentionally, five minutes slipped away. Under the relentless ravage of the Undead skeletons, the giant tree’s health had decreased by one-fifth. At that moment, the tree finally responded.

The crown of the tree started shaking violently, branches grew rapidly and drooped down, stabbing into the soil like javelins, forming a cage that trapped the Undead skeletons inside.

That wasn’t all; numerous white light spots appeared within the cage, turning the entire giant tree into a dazzling white. Rays of holy light emerged, and the health of the giant tree began to slowly recover, while on the other hand, it dealt a lethal blow to the Undead skeletons, whose constitution against healing moves was as if they were poisoned, draining their health rapidly until they turned into piles of shattered bones, even the bones purified into pure white, an ironic outcome.

"Truly, as expected of survival mode, even this tree possesses a mass healing skill, no wonder there was a sense of crisis."

Su Ran found this giant tree somewhat troublesome; its abilities completely countered his own, and he could only resort to fire-type skills to retrieve the situation.

Fireballs were cast one after another, bombarding towards the front cage, but unexpectedly, the damage caused by the fireball explosions quickly restored to full, barely even tickling the tree.

"This is troublesome...""

Su Ran knew that the more time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it was for him. That group of players could appear at any time, and he had to make use of every second. But this giant tree was so unfair, only defending and constantly regenerating health, making it impossible for him so show off his skills.

"No, I must start with the game rules, I might have overlooked something."

Su Ran recalled his experience in the tomb, continuously muttering, "Survival, death..."

"Yes, the Decree of Life and Death!""

Suddenly, Su Ran’s eyes brightened, and his doubts vanished as he stepped forward resolutely above the canopy, looking coldly at the giant tree prison and murmured to himself, "Since you represent survival, let’s counter you with death. I want to see, between life and death, who can have the last laugh!""

Immediately,

Su Ran did not hesitate to assume a horse stance, pulling out the round stone representing the death penalty from his crotch.

Upon the emergence of the round stone, it instantly became as large as its actual size and, under the force of gravitational potential energy, crashed down thunderously towards the giant tree below.
