Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1396 - 1289: Distress

"Overturning Water bro, what good stuff did you get, why did it take you so long?"

Young Master Fa’s eyes shone as he looked at Su Ran, clearly having an intimate conversation with an NPC; there must be something fishy!

"Here, it’s this map. Cost me 1,000 points. He explained to me how to use it."

Su Ran waved the map before tucking it away again.

"Holy cow, a 1,000-point map? You’re really splurging!"

Young Master Fa was utterly incredulous as he exclaimed, "Didn’t you see there was a paperback edition? Only 50 points each, don’t tell me you didn’t know!"

"Huh? There’s such a thing?"

Su Ran was a bit dazed, feeling like he had been had. But when he thought of that secret, he felt balanced at heart.

Besides, he had already spent an extra 1,500 points on a Skill Book, what’s a few points more?

Su Ran wouldn’t mind such serendipitous strokes more often.

"It’s a bit wasteful, but what’s done is done, no big deal; just kill some more monsters, and the points will come back."

Speaking offhandedly, Su Ran pocketed the map and then glanced around, "Let’s spread out and look for any hidden dangers in this space."

"You really have a broad mind. If it was me, I’d be totally depressed by now."

Young Master Fa grumbled and led his followers towards the other side of the Blood Pond, "We’ll check that side, you lovebirds can search this side."

"Overturning Water, don’t be down, maybe this is a blessing in disguise. This map might have special uses."

The creamy lad stepped forward to comfort Su Ran, "Take a thorough look at the map, see if it marks any special terrain. If it does, 1,000 points are definitely worth it."

"I’m not sure if it’s marked, but that NPC told me the map holds a secret, a surefire profitable deal. Why would I be upset?"

Su Ran chuckled, sharing the secret with the creamy lad reluctantly.

"Ah-ha, no wonder you’re so calm the whole time. Lucky you. Let’s get past this space, then I’ll help you unearth the secret hidden in this treasure map!"

The creamy lad finally eased up, joining Su Ran in searching the area.

However.

Everyone searched the entire space and didn’t find any valuable clues. In the end, they all focused on the Blood Pond.

"Overturning Water, if the blood water represents dripping blood, what does the sword represent?"

The creamy lad voiced his doubts, fixing his eyes on the protruding rock, "This rock looks a bit strange, don’t you think?"

"Let’s try and we’ll know."

Su Ran swung the Bone Blade in his hand, and a frost arrow shot out rapidly, aiming at the rock.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound burst forth; to everyone’s surprise, the rock was unscathed, without a mark on it.

"Definitely fishy!"

Su Ran’s eyes brightened as he employed the Treading on Air Technique, leaping over the Blood Pond and dashing straight towards the rock.

"Overturning Water, be careful!"

"Brother Overturning Water, don’t take risks, come back quickly!"

Everyone present sensed something amiss about the Blood Pond, yet none had anticipated that Su Ran would be reckless to this extent. If he triggered a trap, they’d be in serious trouble!

As it turned out, their concerns were well-founded.

Just as Su Ran arrived above the blood pool, the pool of blood suddenly began to boil, and a terrible suction force erupted on the spot. Su Ran was directly pulled into the blood pool and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

The whole process took no more than a few seconds. It was only after Su Ran had completely vanished that they began to panic.

"Overturning Water brother, how could you just leave like that, abandoning your lovely wife like this!"

Young Master Fa shouted in a sorrowful tone, "Without you, what will your wife do? If it really comes to it, entrust her to me, I’ll take care of her..."

"Whoosh."

A blood-colored fireball came hurtling towards him, and had Young Master Fa not dodged quickly, seeing the signs of danger, he would have been literally hit in the face.

"Hehe, sister-in-law, no need to get angry, I was just joking. Didn’t you see that Overturning Water brother’s pet is still alive? He’s got a tough life, a little thing like this won’t trip him up!"

Young Master Fa immediately put on a smile, fearing that the pretty boy might blame him.

"Such jokes are not acceptable. If there’s a next time, I won’t let you off!"

The pretty boy’s eyes turned cold, leaving no room for Young Master Fa to save face.

But she knew Young Master Fa had a point; as long as the Summoned Beast was fine, it meant that Overturning Water was still alive!

"I dare not, I definitely dare not again!"

Young Master Fa wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, not expecting this woman to be so fierce as to not take a joke, almost turning her back on him. If Overturning Water brother knew about this, he would never let him off the hook!

Suddenly.

The boiling blood water burst forth countless bubbles. The bubbles drifted in the air, landed on the ground, and exploded, giving birth to numerous blood-colored imps. Less than sixty centimeters tall and looking malnourished, they each held a slender blood-colored Bone Blade in their hands and screeched as they lunged towards Young Master Fa and the others at a speed beyond everyone’s expectations.

"Brothers, it’s go time, keep your eyes peeled, don’t let me down at the crucial moment!"

Young Master Fa’s expression turned solemn. Although the little creatures were short, their strength was definitely not weak, as one could tell just by their speed.

Under his lead, everyone engaged in a fierce fight with the blood-colored imps, and the atmosphere around them tensed up.

Because there were too many of the blood-colored imps, and they were much faster than them, it didn’t take long for them to break through the defense line Young Master Fa and his team had painstakingly created. In just a short time, two teammates fell on the spot, putting them at a complete disadvantage.

"Sister-in-law, we can’t hold on, we should escape!"

Young Master Fa desperately dodged the blood-colored imps rushing at him. Seeing their numbers growing increasingly, he completely lost his nerve. Unable to stay here any longer, he fled for his life, hoping to leave the imps behind.

"You all leave here first. I want to wait for Overturning Water to come out of the pool safely. Don’t worry, these little creatures don’t have the Treading on Air Technique or any long-range attack abilities. I’m still safe,"

the pretty boy softly refused Young Master Fa’s suggestion, her stubborn gaze fixed on the boiling blood pool, anticipating the familiar sight of the black-robed figure breaking through the surface.

"Sister-in-law, then we’ll go out first and wait for you. If we delay any longer, we’ll definitely end up lying here!"

Young Master Fa couldn’t bear to part with his Skill Books; his own life was precious. Without any further hesitation, he led the remaining four members of his team in a disheveled retreat towards the passage outside.

Fortunately.

The blood-colored imps couldn’t stray too far from the blood pool. After chasing them for a short while, they turned back and loitered around the edge of the pool.

"Phew, that was really damn dangerous. We almost ended up dead here!"

Young Master Fa was completely drained of energy, sitting on the ground and gasping for breath. Looking at his remaining comrades, they had lost two more, leaving only the three of them, a much lonelier group now. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Young Master Fa, what do we do? Are we going back or not?"

One of them glanced at the pretty boy inside, feeling somewhat guilty, and couldn’t help but ask.

"Go back my ass! We barely made it out alive, no way we’re going back in!"
