Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1397 - 1290: Struck by Lightning

"We can fight all we want but it’s no use; we’ve already lost four brothers. I sure don’t want to be separated by life and death from you two anymore!"

Young Master Fa took a swig of the potion, replenishing his lost health, and his expression eased slightly.

"Come on, Young Master Fa, can you not make it sound so melodramatic? It’s not like we can’t resurrect after dying. Weren’t you asking sister-in-law to find you a date? Now’s a great opportunity, totally worth it even if you die!"

"Damn it! What’s a date compared to points? If I die, it’s all for nothing!"

Young Master Fa wasn’t buying that crap, stretching his neck to look into the space inside. Just as long as those blood devils disappeared, he was sure to show off himself once he got back!

...

At the bottom of the Blood Pond,

Su Ran, although he had fallen in, wasn’t showing any sign of drowning due to the Scythe by his side. Fearing that the water in the Blood Pond might be poisoned, Su Ran even took out the Ancient Relic to check, only to prove his worries were unnecessary. There was no trace of poison in the water, just a strong, pungent smell of blood.

"If it wasn’t for the blood of the Sun God Bird I already got, I’d really think the blood in this pool is all there is. It’s so misleading!"

Su Ran sighed inwardly, feeling the Pet Egg in his bladder had no abnormalities, thus he gave up on this impractical idea.

But...

What exactly was the system trying to achieve by forcibly sucking him into this pool?

After circling around the bottom of the pond, Su Ran didn’t find any valuable clues and eventually turned his attention to the rock standing in the center of the water.

Since entering this space, Su Ran had felt that this rock was extraordinary and believed that it surely concealed some unspeakable secrets within!

"Snap."

Su Ran swam over and instinctively bumped the rock with his pelvis. Finding he couldn’t collect it, he gave up the thought and began digging earnestly at the base of the rock.

However, Su Ran’s hopes were high and reality was cruel; the moment he swung the hoe, a system prompt sounded, indicating that digging was not allowed here, which made him completely lose hope.

"Since the ground can’t be dug up, let’s dig into this rock!"

Su Ran became determined, raising his hoe and striking at the rock, not expecting that this action would cause absolute chaos.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, the thunder exploded in the entire space, directly hitting the blood-colored pool, splashing water almost three meters high.

"Not good!"

The creamy heartthrob jumped at the sudden sound of thunder, turning pale when he saw the direction the lightning had struck, ignoring the fact that he was splashed with blood-water, gawking dumbly at the pool below, even forgetting to breathe.

All the blood devils went into disarray, showing terrified expressions at the flash of lightning, screaming and scurrying aside, fearing they’d be caught in its wrath.

As for Su Ran at the bottom of the pool, he didn’t feel threatened at all. The lightning was strong, but after being weakened layer by layer by the water, by the time it reached him, it hardly had any force left, allowing him to dodge it easily and continue digging at the rock with even more fervor.

Because he discovered that this rock... could be dug!

And another thing, his bony frame didn’t conduct electricity, how frustrating is that?

"Crack, crack!"

Su Ran’s actions seemed to have triggered divine wrath, and lightning struck down one after another, the pool boiling over, with blood-water waves rising dramatically, creating a truly shocking visual effect.

From previous despair, to renewed hope, to now taking it as the new normal, the cream-faced loafer was glowing once again, because she knew as long as the lightning didn’t stop, Overturning Water would be fine!

Good people do not live long, while calamities linger for a thousand years, this is the reason.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a lightning bolt three times the usual size slammed into the pool, exploding on impact, and the bloody water splattered everywhere, turning the pool into a massive deep pit.

At the same time, as Su Ran exerted all his strength to dig, that strange rock tumbled down in response and, with a whoosh, burrowed into his bladder and disappeared without a trace.

The group of blood-colored imps were petrified by the thunder from the sky, all prostrating on the ground, trembling violently, as if worshipping, which looked quite ridiculous.

"Overturning Water, come out quickly, the lightning hasn’t stopped, if you don’t escape now, you’ll be struck!"

The pretty boy yelled anxiously, fearing that Su Ran wouldn’t hear, he repeated it again.

"Got it!"

Actually, Su Ran didn’t need the pretty boy’s reminder, he knew he couldn’t stay there any longer. After summoning Wang Cai, he burst into absolute speed, escaping the deep pit in a few strides, heading towards the passage.

He wanted to escape this place of trouble while the lightning had yet to fully form and before the imps had a chance to recover!

"Crack!"

A loud noise resounded as the furious lightning split open a crack at the bottom of the pool, and the ground also began to shake slightly.

"Let’s go, this place isn’t safe, we need to leave here quickly!"

Su Ran waved to the pretty boy and then sprinted towards the distant passage.

Su Ran was quite satisfied with Wang Cai beneath him, riding on Wang Cai’s back, he couldn’t even feel the ground’s vibrations, which shows how advanced Wang Cai’s shock absorption was.

Troubles never come singly, and just as Su Ran and his companion had barely escaped this space and hadn’t even had the chance to catch their breath, they discovered that the bodies of Young Master Fa and his two companions were lying on the ground, lifeless. And not far from the corpses was a circle of nearly a thousand players, waiting for Su Ran to fall into their trap.

A warrior player, clad in dark heavy armor and wielding a deep purple lance, made his way through the crowd, riding his mount to face Su Ran head-on.

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, long time no see, do you still remember Dai Xuan?"

Dai Xuan said with a smile, as if catching up with an old friend, appearing quite amiable. To have Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained fall into his hands, to finally vent the resentment that had been building up for so long, how could he not be happy, how could he not be excited!

"Did you kill these three?"

Su Ran’s face darkened, his eyes filled with anger.

"Nonsense, if it wasn’t me, who else could it be? They insisted on blocking my way, so I simply obliged them."

Dai Xuan scoffed, "Truly, I didn’t expect them to have so many points on their scorecards; this is quite the unexpected joy!"

"You, deserve to die!"

A wave of nameless fury surged in Su Ran’s heart, the fire growing more intense, his murderous intent unmasked.

"Hehe, whether I deserve to die or not isn’t up to you to say, right, brothers?"

Dai Xuan raised his arm and shouted, eliciting echoes of agreement from nearly a thousand voices, ridiculing Su Ran for overestimating himself.

Thinking he could take on a thousand by himself, that’s just a dream!

"Wan’er, you go first, I have a way to take them all out!"

Su Ran sent a message to the pretty boy, his words brimming with confidence, "Trust me, I will avenge Young Master Fa and the others, wait for my good news!"

"Okay."

The pretty boy didn’t say much, decisively tearing the Town Recall Scroll and leaving the place.
