Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1422 - 1306: Many Coffins (Two-in-One)_2

Dai Xuan waved his hand, and dozens of fireballs and ice bombs simultaneously flew toward the wild boar, dealing massive damage. The boar’s remaining health was instantly depleted, and it fell on the spot, dropping several pieces of equipment, potions, and coins.

"Ha-ha, it dropped!"

"Awesome, President, pick them up and see if there’s any artifact!"

"An artifact dropping from your family’s wild boar, stop daydreaming!"

As the players excitedly discussed, a large number of red sparks burst from the wild boar boss’s corpse and precisely entered everyone’s bodies, adding a barely noticeable trace of blood in everyone’s eyes.

"Damn, it didn’t stop even after dying. What the heck was that move? I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary?"

"Not even a system warning about a negative status? That’s strange!"

These people were startled by what had just happened but found that their attributes hadn’t decreased and there were no negative effects, which eased their minds.

"All right."

At this critical moment, Dai Xuan stepped forward. After calming everyone down, he spoke in a subdued tone, "If there’s nothing wrong, why worry about it? Stop being so paranoid and unsettling the troops!"

Having said that, Dai Xuan approached the wild boar but didn’t touch the corpse. He picked up the equipment that had dropped, discovering they were only silver-tier and not worth much, but it was better than nothing since they were free.

Following that.

He led the team towards the staircase, and after entering the second floor, they discovered countless black pythons all gathered around the staircase in the distance, apparently waiting for something.

"Guys, game on, let’s kill these pythons and have snake soup tonight!"

"Charge!"

Everyone rushed towards the pythons without forming any kind of strategic formation, because they realized all these were just level 20 minor monsters, not worth worrying about!

Soon.

The group completely slaughtered the pythons, adding quite a few blood traces in their eyes.

"Ha-ha, it’s the first time slaying monsters feels so exhilarating, satisfying!"

"President, let’s keep pushing upstairs, my blade is thirsty!"

"Let’s go!"

Dai Xuan felt that there was something odd about his crew, though he couldn’t specifically pinpoint what it was, even he felt a bit of a bloodthirsty impulse—a sensation he hadn’t felt in a long time.

However, he didn’t dwell on it too much. Having a spirited team was a good thing. It didn’t require any rallying of spirits to boost the team’s combat strength. Surrounded by his people, they all entered the third-level space together.

...

Speaking of Su Ran, he didn’t linger over the wild boar boss and entered the second level, completely ignoring the group of pythons. Takings advantage of the aerial path, he effortlessly made it to the third-level space.

What surprised Su Ran was that the area was littered with coffins. If he hadn’t known this place was a mystical realm, he would have thought he had entered a graveyard.

However.

Bosses could be avoided, minor monsters could be skipped, but these coffins... he truly couldn’t just ignore them!

Upon seeing the coffins, Su Ran felt like a mosquito seeing blood, absolutely unable to move away...

To Su Ran, these coffins were just like treasure chests. With so many treasure chests before him, it would be odd to give up!

"System, you got me, I admit defeat!"

Muttering this, Su Ran didn’t care about the dangers and went straight to a coffin, forcefully flipping the lid and sending it flying.

"Pfft."

A stream of poison gas sprayed from the coffin, almost like a fart hitting Su Ran in the face. Even with a mask, his face still turned green.

"Damn, a trap!"

Su Ran fondly remembered the days when his clone was a skeleton warrior, who would safely open the coffins without any risk, unlike now, where he was constantly on edge. Opening a boss like the Drought Fiend was something he simply couldn’t handle!

No choice, he was a risk-taker, seeking fortune amidst danger, going all out!

After the poison dissipated, Su Ran chewed on a couple of graveyard grasses, then moved to the next coffin.

"Phew."

Once again, a burst of poison mist struck Su Ran, and his frustration was indescribable.

"This is too much!"

Angrily staring at the coffins, Su Ran no longer cared about his poisoned state and immediately opened the next one.

"Bang!"

A body lying in the coffin sprung to life upon exposure to the outside air. Sitting up abruptly, its eyes slowly opened, releasing a creepy aura.

"Screw you!"

Taking advantage of the zombie’s incomplete awakening, Su Ran threw a solid punch, knocking it back into the coffin and sealing the lid shut. The zombie was served its lunchbox before it even made an appearance.

After searching for a while, Su Ran found nothing but zombies and poison, which was a great disappointment. He lost all interest in the coffins and planned to move to the next layer of space.

Unexpectedly, the space was sealed, trapping him there and thwarting his plans.

"Huh? Could there be some secret here?"

Interest piqued, Su Ran’s earlier disappointment vanished. He turned back to check out what secrets these coffins might hold.

"Wow, that’s a huge coffin!"

Upon closer inspection, he was pleasantly surprised to find a four-meter-long coffin hidden beneath the others—he had almost missed it!

Just then, the sound of footsteps climbing stairs came from not far away, sending a shiver through Su Ran’s spine. A bad thought crossed his mind—someone was coming!

His eyes filled with urgency. It was too late to merge with the mini-zombie and unseal the passage to the fourth layer. Wang Cai’s Luck Concealment skill was still on cooldown, leaving him somewhat at a loss. It seemed inevitable he would encounter the newcomers.

"Am I going to have to fight again?"

Su Ran drew his scythe, his gaze fixed on the distant staircase as a murderous intent began to surface.

However, when he caught a glimpse of the empty coffins out of the corner of his eye, his eyes lit up with delight. He quickly stowed his equipment and stripped down to his ribs, sliding into one of the coffins. From the outside, he blended in perfectly, his expression peaceful.

...

"Oh my gosh, where did all these coffins come from?"

Upon entering the room, Dai Xuan was stunned by the coffins strewn haphazardly across the floor, many without lids, resembling a chaotic graveyard.

"This is weird. What is the system planning?"

"Maybe we’ve triggered a special plot. With so many coffins, let’s play tomb raiders!"

"Hey, I’ve never pried open a coffin before. It’s quite exciting!"

"What if there are decayed corpses? Yikes, just the thought gives me the creeps. Dealing with these coffins, I’m bound to have nightmares tonight..."

The players, faced with a vast array of coffins, chattered amongst themselves, but mostly, they believed they couldn’t miss this opportunity. Under Dai Xuan’s lead, they swarmed towards the coffins.

With strength in numbers, the several hundred players felt bold enough to face any demons or ghosts. They dispelled their underlying fears and began to pry open the coffins before them.

"Damn, I found a zombie! The jump scare made my scalp tingle, but thankfully it’s just a game. If this were real, I’d have peed myself!"

"Same here, just a level 20 weakling. Nothing to be scared of!"

"Exactly, I’ve already taken down two. But what’s with these drops? Incense and grave paper... gross!"

"If it’s useless, don’t bother picking it up. Let’s open all these coffins quickly. We can’t afford to waste time."

Dai Xuan watched expressionlessly as his subordinates opened the coffins. The low-level zombies tested his patience, and if not for the high spirits of his followers, he’d have led them to the next level already, instead of dealing with these decrepit coffins!

...

Lying in the coffin, Su Ran overheard the conversation and realized his old enemy Dai Xuan had arrived. From the voices and footsteps, he could tell that Dai Xuan had brought quite a force, likely well over a hundred players!

Given the limited space and facing so many players alone, his chances of winning were slim unless he used the Heavenly Talisman.

As Su Ran was lost in thought, a player approached his coffin. The person cursed upon seeing the skeletal remains and kicked the coffin. Without a second thought, swinging a machete, he fiercely chopped toward Su Ran’s head.
