Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1457 - 1329: Fire Coffin (Two in One)

"Miss Su Ran, if all else fails, why don’t we just blast this coffin open? It’ll save both time and effort – how nice!"

Youtong was impulsive, she didn’t have the patience to just wait around, and what had happened to Su Ran and Overturning Water made her somewhat fearful.

"We mustn’t act recklessly. If we blow up the coffin, we could harm both Overturning Water and the smoke fiend."

Cream Puff dissuaded Youtong’s idea, then turned to Gu Yue to ask, "Little Yue, what do you think?"

They say three cobblers together can match a Zhuge Liang, not to mention three girls. Cream Puff was not one to rush into decisions and patiently sought the opinions of others.

"Miss Su Ran, I share your view—we shouldn’t blindly attack the coffin to avoid further unforeseen events. I suggest we tackle this based on the five elements of mutual generation and mutual overcoming—the coffin has ice attributes, so let’s have the Firebird approach it and see what happens."

Gu Yue shared her thoughts, feeling like there was still something overlooked, but alas, she couldn’t fathom what it was.

"Alright, let’s give it a try then."

Cream Puff thought there was some merit to it and did not hesitate anymore, directing the Firebird to grab towards the lid of the coffin in the hope of witnessing a miracle.

However.

The miracle didn’t happen; instead, an accident arrived first.

The Firebird too couldn’t escape the encroachment of the cold ice, turning into an ice sculpture and crashing down to the ground.

"Cough cough, another failure..."

Gu Yue felt somewhat embarrassed; her idea had caused Miss Su Ran to lose her mount, and without aerial advantage, the risk was multiplied.

"Come on, let’s go have a closer look, we might find some kind of mechanism."

Faced with the Firebird’s plight, Cream Puff was surprisingly pleased because she noticed that the Firebird’s health hadn’t decreased at all, only its movement and output were restricted, which wasn’t a big issue. This also meant that Overturning Water wasn’t in any life-threatening danger!

With this thought, her anxious heart instantly calmed down. She approached the coffin to see what kind of mystery it held.

"How strange, Miss Su Ran, did you realize that although this coffin is of the ice attribute, it gives off a sensation of scorching heat which doesn’t make any sense..."

Gu Yue, feeling the wave of heat hitting her face, found it unbelievable.

"What’s so illogical about it? Haven’t you ever had deep-fried ice cream?"

Youtong jumped in with a quick response.

"Little Tong, your imagination truly is unique, comparing a corpse to ice cream is unheard of."

Gu Yue covered her chest with a disgusted look, her complexion slightly changing.

"Now is not the time to talk about these things, take a quick look around the coffin, see if you can find any mechanisms or something."

Cream Puff wasn’t in the mood to discuss this, scrutinizing the coffin intently; its black wood streaked with a hint of dark red, the high temperature radiating from it. This made her unable to decipher what danger lay within, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion. How could they safely open the coffin lid?

While she was deep in thought, a cry of surprise came from beside her.

"Miss Su Ran, come quick, there’s a button here!"

It was Youtong who spoke, excitedly looking at the ground, "Oh, there’s another one here!"

"Buttons?"

Encouraged by the news, Cream Puff hurried over and noticed that on the back of the coffin there were indeed two buttons, one red, one blue, almost impossible to miss.

"Whether to choose the red or the blue, what do you guys think?"

She was somewhat undecided about the situation and once again turned to Gu Yue and Youtong for their opinion.

"That’s just the difficulty level added by the system, trying to confuse our judgment with just a 50% success rate, I wouldn’t dare make a rash guess."

"Little Yue, analyze it, even if it’s wrong, it’s okay."

"I feel it’s better to press the red button. Personally, I think the red button could increase the heat within the corpse, thus weakening the output of cold from the coffin. As long as the cold is completely suppressed, Overturning Water and the smoke fiend will naturally be unfroze."

Gu Yue had just finished speaking, as if she thought of something, she quickly added, "But we can’t discount the possibility that the system is deliberately making it tough for us; if the effects of the buttons are reversed, that would be troublesome."

"Little Yue is right, I agree!"

Youtong didn’t wait for Cream Puff to speak and stepped on the red button.

"Little Tong, you..."

Cream Puff was about to stop her, but it was too late. She could only pull Gu Yue back with her, in case it did turn out to be a coffin explosion, that would spell total annihilation.

Youtong also realized her mistake, quickly distancing herself from the coffin, standing behind Cream Puff with her head lowered, waiting for her reprimand.

But Cream Puff’s mind was all on the coffin; she had no energy to focus on Youtong. Besides, with Youtong’s character, it was hard to fault her for acting impulsively; Cream Puff was already used to it.

At that moment.

Fiery red flames began to spread, enveloping the entire coffin, the temperature surging dramatically. The whole tomb was rendered as hot as a furnace by the flames, the intense heat making it impossible for Cream Puff and the others to approach.

"F*ck, that’s hot!"

The newly recovered Overturning Water retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted, yowling as he quickly got away from the coffin. However, the Firebird enjoyed this environment, bathing in the flames atop the coffin. The flames emanating from its body fused with those around it, increasing the temperature of the space once again.
