Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1377 - 1273: Overloading Could Be Fatal

"Nan Qiang said you two were dating, and I want to know if it’s true."

The heartthrob cut straight to the chase. Now that he had decided to pierce through the paper window, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

"What?"

Su Ran was somewhat taken aback. At this moment, he really wanted to send his regards to Nan Qiang; how could a grown man gossip like a woman?

Daring to say anything and everything, wasn’t he just pushing himself into the pit of fire?

Nan Qiang, you’ve really screwed me over!

"Dating? What kind of international joke is that?! I’m one of the people involved and even I don’t know about it, so how could that news possibly be true?"

Su Ran hurriedly denied it. Rumors are more fearsome than tigers. If this got to Yu Jing’s ears, there’d be huge trouble!

"Nan Qiang, really spreading such wild matches. I’ll have to settle the score with him later!"

"No need, as long as I know it’s a misunderstanding, that’s enough."

The heartthrob smiled sweetly, her eyes like two flames burning, raising the surrounding temperature quite a bit. After a moment, she continued, "I like..."

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering explosion sounded, and flames shot out from the crack, turning the windows a fiery red.

"I’ll go check it out!"

Su Ran fled the room in a panic, not daring to wait for the heartthrob to continue. Heaven had finally given him a chance. If he didn’t seize it, he would truly be courting awkwardness!

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, you jerk!"

The heartthrob stamped her foot in anger. All the courage she had mustered up was now wasted! When it came to matters of love, Overturning Water was even worse than a heavy smoker!

She glanced at Su Ran’s retreating back, hesitated for a moment, then followed him. Even if it was a dragon’s lair or tiger’s den, with him there, she wouldn’t be afraid!

"Phew, lucky I left quickly. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to remain friends... Wan’er, really, bringing up this topic in such an atmosphere, aren’t you afraid the house will collapse?"

Su Ran wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not looking back as he rushed towards the crack. His mind in turmoil, he didn’t even notice that Wan’er had followed him. Approaching the edge of the crack, the fire that had burst out was already gone, leaving behind only a dark hole that emitted a dangerous air. The melody of death slowly played, enough to strip anyone of their courage, unwilling to confront this dreadful rift.

But Su Ran showed no hint of fear, relying on his invincible skills and the Treading on Air Technique, he jumped right down.

It’s said that the more skilled you are, the braver you become, and this was the embodiment of that.

Because Su Ran knew, the fact that the crack had appeared in the main city for so long without being refreshed by the system was already highly suspect. Moreover, the crack occasionally emitted terrifying suction and flames, which even the Beast Soul Evil Spirits couldn’t resist. This meant that beneath this rift, there must be a great secret!

Thus, it was evident that this was a rare opportunity that could not be missed!

Western Monk... God Totem... Beast Soul Evil Spirit... Rift Space. What exactly were all these pointing to?

Was the system’s task to collect totem shards guiding them to enter this Rift Space?

Whether there was any hidden conspiracy within, Su Ran didn’t know.

"Hopefully this rift won’t disappoint me. Whether the parts of the Sun God Bird are in this hidden space, I’ll only find out after breaking through..."

Su Ran slowly descended from the rift, relieved that the terrible suction hadn’t appeared, avoiding uncontrollable risks. That was a good start. Once he reached the bottom, he’d first figure out the terrain.

"Ahh~~~~"

A sharp cry echoed from above, and Su Ran instinctively looked up to see the cream puff in full free fall. By the time he snapped out of it, the guy had already whooshed past him, picking up speed with every second.

"What are you spacing out for, summon your Firebird already!"

Su Ran couldn’t worry about anything else, plunging rapidly downward, fearing he couldn’t catch up and summoned the Mechanism Divine Pig onto his shoulder, rocketing his descent.

"Alright."

Seeing Su Ran’s anxious face, and to go all out for his own sake, the cream puff felt his goal was achieved and his heart was sweeter than honey. He didn’t hesitate anymore, summoning his Firebird. With the mount supporting him, his falling speed greatly decreased.

This, however, spelled misery for Su Ran. With a pig on his shoulder, the Treading on Air Technique was useless at such speeds, far exceeding its limit. Like a meteor, he crashed to the ground, forming a person-shaped hole.

Damn it, the overload is lethal!

Struggling, Su Ran crawled out of the pit, grabbed the plump, white pig, and looking into its innocent eyes, he instantly lost his temper.

"Squeak, squeak."

Having no choice, Su Ran pulled out a clump of graveyard grass, chewed vigorously, replenishing his Qi Blood and venting his frustration all at once. All things considered, graveyard grass was really something!

"Huh? Overturning Water, don’t you have flying skills? How did you end up on the ground? That shouldn’t happen."

The cream puff dismounted the Firebird with elegance, puzzled by Su Ran’s predicament. Aerial superiority had always been his forte. Why would he capsize now?

Seems like I took the joke too far...

"Men need to be tough on themselves."

Su Ran said expressionlessly, chewing even harder.

"I’m sorry, it was my fault dragging you into this. I didn’t expect the rift to be so deep. Had I known, I would’ve summoned my mount earlier."

The cream puff’s voice was filled with apology and as he was about to say more, a noisy clamor of footsteps approached from afar.

"Shh, someone’s coming!"

Su Ran glanced around, finding nowhere to hide. He eyed the hole he had created below and asked spontaneously, "So, do you want to lie down in there? I can bury you first, then dig you out after they leave. How about it?"

"If anyone’s going to lie down, you do it. I’ll be the one to dig you out later!"

The cream puff responded irritably and hopped onto the back of the Firebird, flying away directly.

"Sigh, your Firebird will easily give us away in this darkness!"

Seeing that the cream puff didn’t take the advice, Su Ran sighed, packed up the chubby pig, and flew up using the Treading on Air Technique. Hiding along the rock face with his dark robe, even if the cream puff came back, he might not be able to find him.

When it came to hiding, Su Ran was confident.

...

Not long after, the footsteps reached the area, accompanied by many torches. Looking down, Su Ran roughly counted about fifty or sixty people.

He couldn’t figure out why these people were pursuing him. From the current situation, with everyone armed, things didn’t look good. Su Ran watched intently with questions in mind, hoping to uncover any information about the Rift Space.

"Eh? The guy was just here, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

"Thump!"

"Damn it, who’s the jerk who dug this hole in the middle of the road? That’s just too damn evil!"

The player who was running at the front accidentally stepped into the freshly made hole, tripping over and landing face down, his face turning black.
