Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1389 - 1282: Skull Passageway
Chapter 1389: Chapter 1282: Skull Passageway
"Really? With so many subordinates and ranking among the top ten in power within the Rift Space, how could your entire army be wiped out? Did you offend someone from a major guild, or did you wander into a dead end?"
The player’s curiosity was too intense; they failed to notice Tian Ge’s increasingly dark expression. In order to satisfy that burning curiosity, they kept asking non-stop, hoping to pry some useful information from Tian Ge’s lips.
However, Tian Ge no longer wished to entertain this person and silently walked towards the teleportation circle.
"Hey, Tian Ge, are you going to exchange for treasures? What treasure do you plan to exchange for? You must show it to me later, let me envy you, haha!"
The player’s enthusiastic voice came from behind. Tian Ge’s mood worsened, his face turning extremely sullen as he wished he could find something to shut this guy up!
The other subordinates knew Tian Ge’s current mood and didn’t dare to provoke him at this time; they stayed outside the teleportation circle, none daring to follow him in.
This player responsible for the respawn point then turned his attention to these few individuals, struck up a conversation, and soon ferreted out everything he wanted to know. It turned out that the power of the four Heavenly Talismans inside this special treasure was terrifying to the extent that they could instantly annihilate everyone!
This news spread like a plague, almost everyone knew about these four special talismans and their terrifying effects. Most people abandoned the minor monsters before them and headed straight back to the palace, with one single goal: to seize the remaining three talismans!
For a time, the palace was bustling, almost packed with people rushing to draw talismans. The special NPC had a particularly busy day, his hands cramping from counting so many points.
Ironically, so many people squandered their points completely, and not even a regional announcement appeared on the system. This was enough to show that to date, not a single person had drawn a Heavenly Talisman, indicating how low the probability was.
From this, it was clear that Young Master Fa obtaining the Thunder Talisman was purely a stroke of dumb luck!
Meanwhile, far away, Su Ran and others had no idea what was happening in the palace, nor did they know about the frenzy caused by the Heavenly Talisman. They were currently fighting a few Birdmen, striving to earn points.
"Brother Overturning Water, how many exchange points do you have now?"
After killing the Birdman in front of them, Young Master Fa excitedly asked Su Ran who was not far away. With these Undead pets drawing the Birdmen’s aggro, grinding monsters was incredibly comfortable. Even if those Undead skeletons fell, it didn’t matter; he would just summon them again with no regrets. The Summoner class was truly like a walking bug!
"How would I know? The system has given no hints at all. When we see the NPC, we’ll find out."
Su Ran checked the system but couldn’t find any hint about the exchange points, casually saying, "We’ve killed quite a lot of small monsters just now, plus the players we killed earlier, it should be a lot."
"I’ve almost got 10,000 exchange points now, haha, it feels great!" frёeωebɳovel.com
Amidst his excitement, Young Master Fa’s eyes held a hint of confusion, "Strange, why can’t we see even a single player? Did we choose a too isolated path, so no one comes here?"
"Why bother about that? Isn’t it better that no one else is stealing our monsters?"
After clearing the small monsters here, Su Ran ordered the shield-bearing skeletons to lead the way, but soon they came upon another fork in the road.
"Which one do we choose this time?"
Above the passage, one was marked with a skull head, another with a bloody sword, and the last one bore the character "Dead" directly carved into it.
Su Ran was a bit confused; the skull represented death, the bloody sword represented slaughter, and that ’Dead’ character’s meaning was even more self-explanatory.
"Damn, this is the first time we’ve come across this, isn’t this just making things harder for us?"
Young Master Fa was fretting, glancing here and there, and said uncertainly, "How about we try going back the way we came? That might be safer..."
"Pfft, knew I couldn’t rely on you!"
Su Ran had given up on Young Master Fa and turned his inquisitive gaze toward Creamy Cutie, "Cutie, what do you think?"
"I suggest taking the Bloody Sword pathway. There might be treasures inside. Although it’s dangerous, it could be worth it. Of course, this is just my opinion, the choice is yours."
Creamy Cutie glanced at the Skeleton Pathway and continued to share his thoughts, "However, Overturning Water taking on this challenge could be quite fitting, given his professional attributes. He might even find greater opportunities."
"Bro, we should definitely not split from Brother Overturning Water, let’s just head to the Skeleton Pathway. With Brother Water protecting us, there shouldn’t be any major issues. And that Bloody Sword just looks spine-chilling!"
Young Master Fa immediately made up his mind and chose the Skeleton Pathway without hesitation.
"Alright, let’s tackle this pathway first. If we get the chance, we can come back and try the Bloody Sword Pathway. If there really are treasures, we can’t miss out!"
Su Ran felt an inexplicable fondness for the skeletal depiction, his subconscious still gravitating towards it.
Following the Skeleton Warrior’s lead, everyone entered the pathway one by one and disappeared inside.
About fifteen minutes had passed when a female player in black armor hurried into the area. After seeing the three depictions at the fork, she summoned a giant bone beast and directly entered the pathway engraved with the character for ’Undead’.
...
"Why does this place feel so creepy, like something out of a horror movie? It’s way too scary."
Due to the game’s ultra-realistic graphics, Young Master Fa was affected by the current deathly atmosphere, feeling a chill throughout his body. If it weren’t for the crowd around him, he wouldn’t have dared to venture in alone.
"A grown man, getting so scared over a game, don’t say you know me if we’re out!"
Seeing Young Master Fa’s cowardly appearance, Su Ran couldn’t help but laugh. If he were to show his true face now, wouldn’t it scare the daylights out of this kid?
Creamy Cutie summoned a Firebird, which flew up into the air like a bright lamp, illuminating the space ahead and making their path forward easier, all while driving away the fear in Young Master Fa’s heart.
"Damn, why are there so many skeletons? Could this be a zombie plot?"
Seeing the bodies lying haphazardly in front, Young Master Fa’s hair stood on end. He had initially thought they were just going to fight some minor skeleton monsters, but the system’s psychological warfare was more than he could handle, tightening his nerves to the maximum.
"With my years of gaming experience, these bodies are definitely going to stand up,"
Su Ran had been through several such scenarios and had some insights. He waved his hands grandly, "Go, while these corpses haven’t revived yet, let’s smash their legs. It’ll save us a lot of trouble later."
"What?"
"Smash their legs? Hahaha, that move is brilliant!"
Hearing Su Ran’s words, Young Master Fa burst out laughing; fear was the last thing on his mind now. He ordered his six underlings to charge forward, but before they could get close, all the corpses started rising, shakily advancing and swarming towards the group.
