Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1220 - 1133 Crow’s Mouth

"An empty treasure chest, an empty coffin, survival and death, what exactly does the system want to convey?"

Su Ran’s expression was somewhat grave. He hadn’t expected the plot to become so elusive at this juncture, and he didn’t know how to proceed.

"Overturning Water, what’s inside this coffin?"

Seeing that no ghoul had leapt out of the coffin to scare anyone, Lin Yuqing’s courage had grown considerably, and her curiosity had been piqued as well. She couldn’t help but ask Su Ran, who was ahead, genuinely hoping that there were only burial goods for the dead inside and perhaps some treasures.

"This is really bizarre, nothing at all, another empty space!"

Su Ran felt as if the system had played him for a fool twice in a row. Naturally, his mood was far from good, busy for so long only to end up with this kind of outcome—nobody would be able to accept it.

"What? An empty coffin? What kind of international joke is this?"

Lin Yuqing didn’t care about her fear anymore and retorted indignantly, "The treasure chest is empty, and even this coffin contains nothing? Who plays with people like that? The system is just too hateful!"

"There might still be some mechanism we haven’t found, I’ll go..."

Su Ran hadn’t finished speaking when a dense fog in mid-air suddenly condensed into a long arrow, and with a whoosh, it passed through the layers of obstructions created by Su Ran’s pet companion and struck towards Lin Yuqing in the distance.

"Not good!"

Su Ran saw that the situation was dire and immediately commanded the Eternal Poison Serpent to block this sudden sneak attack. However, to his despair, the dense fog had no physical form; it transformed into mist and passed through the Eternal Poison Serpent, continuing to solidify into an arrow, heading relentlessly for the immobile Lin Yuqing.

"Overturning Water, save me!"

Lin Yuqing’s face showed a look of desperation, and she screamed in panic. However, she didn’t choose to sit and await her demise; instead, she quickly summoned a Fire Phoenix to block in front of her, attempting to intercept the arrow.

However.

The Fire Phoenix, like the Eternal Poison Serpent, had no effect whatsoever; not even the flames it emitted could slow the attack of the fog. The arrow re-formed, launching even more ferociously at Lin Yuqing.

"Damn it!" freeweɓnovel.cøm

In this life-and-death crisis, Lin Yuqing actually calmed down, casting a Fire Shield around herself in the hopes of dodging this calamity.

By this time, Su Ran was already too late to offer any help and could only watch in dread as the tragedy unfolded. His eyes were filled with doubt; this coffin was indeed strange, taking aim at the easiest target. In terms of hatred value, he should have been the primary target, after all, it was he who had opened the coffin, so why target Lin Yuqing?

Could it be...

That the coffin had some inexorable connection with the woman’s past and present lives?

Two words, nonsense!

But the next scene not only made Su Ran startle but even Lin Yuqing herself could hardly believe that it was real.

The arrow formed by the condensation of smoke was not aiming at Lin Yuqing but at her stone statue steed below her. The dense fog collided with the stone statue, quickly enveloping it and isolating Lin Yuqing on the outside.

Immediately after.

A dramatic scene unfolded.

"Plop."

Lin Yuqing actually fell from the stone statue, and the Death Curse was so easily lifted.

"Eh? No way, it’s unsealed just like that?"

Lin Yuqing lifted her leg in disbelief, her eyes revealing a surprised expression. Her emotions could be described as a roller coaster, going from panic to despair, and now to a huge surprise, feeling like the system had played a massive prank on her.

"No time to lose, we must get my sister down here to lift this Death Curse as well!"

Before the dense fog could fully assimilate the stone people, Lin Yuqing promptly jumped onto the back of the Fire Bird and flew towards the opening of the cave.

"I really didn’t expect that the dense fog could break the curse; interesting," she said.

Su Ran then realized why the dense fog had specifically targeted Lin Yuqing—it was because of the Death Curse. With this turn of events, it had unexpectedly solved a big problem for her.

"Thump."

Urged by her older sister, Lin Yuqing directly jumped into the cave and, being too heavy, the stone person created a loud noise as it smashed into the ground.

Without a doubt, Lin Yuqing received the same treatment as her older sister—the Death Curse was lifted on the spot, and the stone person was devoured by the dense fog.

"Ah, older sister, I’m really not used to not having this big guy around, ha!"

Lin Yuqing looked somewhat reluctantly at the stone person wrapped in the dense fog; the free pet hadn’t even had the chance to join the battle before it was taken back—it was a pity.

"Overturning Water, what should we do next?"

After Lin Yuqing regained her ability to move, her mood was clearly much better. "We can’t just keep inhaling this smog here, can we?"

"Let’s get out of here first; something feels amiss."

Su Ran saw the stone people in the smog gradually melting, their shapes constantly changing, and she had a bad feeling that something undesirable was going to happen. Staying in this underground space greatly limited their range of movement and offered them no advantage at all.

"Swoosh!"

As if responding to Su Ran’s words, the dense fog suddenly erupted, sealing the cave entrance tight, immediately shattering Su Ran’s hopes of escaping.

"Well, might as well act as if I didn’t say anything."

Su Ran said dryly, curling her lips. The system was really giving her a hard time, insisting on opposing her, truly sleazy!

"Overturning Water, did you offend the system or something? This is so embarrassing!"

Lin Yuqing looked suspiciously at Su Ran, sensing the system was tripping her up. It was really the first time she had encountered such a situation.

"Who knows. Hurry up and come behind the coffin, keep a distance. This dense fog has too many unstable factors; it’s easy to get hurt," Su Ran warned, seeing the two women still curiously watching the excitement.

"Boom!"

Just as she finished speaking, the dense fog very obligingly exploded on the spot. The sibling protagonists were sent flying, landing heavily on the ground, while Su Ran, who had taken cover behind the coffin, luckily avoided the terrible impact.

Uh.

This was awkward.

Su Ran felt as though her words today had been prophetic, predicting the direction of the plot in advance. Only the interval between events was a bit short...

"Overturning Water, you’re nothing but a jinx!!! Can you stop talking from now on?"

Lin Yuqing climbed up in disarray; her hair that had just been tidied was a mess again, no wonder she was furious! She felt like today was just an unlucky day when nothing went right. Lin Yuqing fumbled with her hair in frustration and spoke angrily, "If you have a grudge against the system, settle it privately. Don’t drag us into it!"

Even Yu Jing looked at Su Ran with a reproachful gaze, the implication clear without words.

At this point, Su Ran really wanted to cry out injustice. Couldn’t they see all this was just a coincidence?

But the fact remained in front of her as obvious as mud falling into one’s trousers—not shit, but still shit...

Ultimately, Su Ran simply shut her mouth and commanded her pet to shield the sisters, to prevent any further harm.
