Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1427 - 1308: Forced to be an NPC (Two in One)_3

Su Ran knew he had fallen into a trap and couldn’t have been more frustrated. He had planned to summon a little zombie to use a fusion skill to break the seal, but sadly, even summoning his pet was impossible. Su Ran suddenly lost his temper.

Not even the system sent a prompt, so he had no idea how long he was going to be sealed for. Fortunately, the throne did not seem to intend any harm; his health points hadn’t decreased. That was perhaps the only silver lining in his situation.

Just as Su Ran was thinking of ways to free himself from the chains and the seal, Dai Xuan entered the space with his crew. The ground trembled again, and Su Ran noticed that two blood-red glows had started emanating from the two pools. As for what that represented, he had no clue.

However, Dai Xuan’s arrival made Su Ran feel uneasy. His current predicament was far more dangerous than inside the previous coffin, with the risk factor increased tenfold. He couldn’t even muster any resistance, and things could end up with him truly leaving his skeleton behind!

But to Su Ran’s surprise, Dai Xuan mistook him for a special NPC in the scene, his obsequious demeanor almost making him laugh.

What a poser...

If it were him, he would have cut the crap and just attacked!

But.

Su Ran dared not speak a word. He reckoned that his voice must by now be loathed to the bone—suspicion would be inevitable!

While Su Ran was contemplating in silence, Dai Xuan made a statement that Su Ran could no longer ignore.

"..."

Sitting on the throne, Su Ran started to jostle his skeleton, proving he was still ’alive.’ He wriggled a clawed bone from the gap between the chains, then fell quiet, assuming an enigmatic, soothsayer-like pose. He pointed meaningfully at the pools of water and fire without saying another word.

Anyway, the goal was to lead the boy astray. As to how much Dai Xuan would comprehend, it was entirely up to his own abilities.

"Senior, do you mean that I should proceed with caution, step by step?"

Dai Xuan seemed to have grasped Su Ran’s implied meaning and spoke eagerly, "Please, don’t be angry. I didn’t go through the trials before flying over here; I took a shortcut. I will go back and tackle each challenge one by one!"

Nani?

Su Ran was a bit dumbfounded. Dai Xuan was being way too cooperative, wasn’t he?

What could he say to that? He nodded in satisfaction, indicating that the boy was teachable.

Seeing Su Ran’s nod, Dai Xuan acted as if he had won a great prize, his face alight with ecstasy. He hurriedly left on his Evil Spirit beast, not even waiting for it to land; he leaped from its back straight to the entrance.

"Leader, how was it? Is the one sitting on the throne a special NPC?"

"Leader Dai, did you receive an epic quest? Share it so we can all have a bit of joy!"

"That’s right; you can’t just enjoy by yourself, Leader. Shared happiness is double happiness. Brothers, am I right?"

Seeing Dai Xuan’s excited demeanor, the players all knew something was up and crowded around, eager to find out what kind of advantage he had gained.

"Stop it, calm down, don’t annoy the NPC, or we might miss out on any benefits!"

Dai Xuan, somewhat apprehensive, glanced back at Su Ran from afar, noticed no sign of anger, and relaxed. He then whispered mysteriously to his subordinates, "The NPC didn’t give me a quest, just some guidance. We need to pass these challenges of water and fire first. Only by taking it step by step can we get the final reward!"
