Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1478 - 1343: The Secret Will Be Revealed

"Boss, this underwater terrain is damn weird, the restrictions are way too much!"

After the team from Tiger Supreme’s guild jumped into the lake and kept diving deeper, they didn’t find any special treasures, but did kill plenty of low-level aquatic monsters.

"Isn’t that stating the obvious!"

The player called Boss replied irritably, "Everyone keep looking, even if we have to dig three feet deep to find the secrets here!"

"The lake terrain is huge, we don’t have enough people, should we talk to Withered Fish Guild Leader?"

"You’d not reveal your stupidity if you kept quiet, just search, and quit dawdling!"

Right at that moment, a school of fish swam towards them, of all colors, rendering the lake water incredibly vibrant - a sight rarely seen in reality.

But, these players didn’t think so, where did they have the time to appreciate the beauty? The arrival of the fish school had them all change color and dive further down in panic.

"Run for it!"

"Damn it, why did we encounter a school of fish, this is not a good start!"

The players weren’t powerless against the school of fish, but engaging them would lead to many injuries or deaths, significantly weakening the team’s strength. What if they encountered a boss after that? Wouldn’t the whole team be wiped out?

They managed to avoid the approaching school of fish without inciting violence and arrived smoothly at the bottom of the lake.

"What secrets could be down here, doesn’t it look the same as before?"

"Boss, have we been tricked?"

"How could that be, those people’s acting skills aren’t that sophisticated! Without a doubt, there’s something off about the bottom of this lake!"

They searched for a long time and found nothing noteworthy. Just when they were perplexed, a cry of shock echoed underwater, causing everyone to shiver.

"Boss, there’s someone!"

"Where?"

"Look quickly, there are ripples over there, someone’s silhouette!"

"Go check it out, don’t let them get away!"

They all braved their way over to have a look, but there was no sign of anyone, not even a fish – the shouting player immediately felt embarrassed.

"I clearly saw someone just now!"

"Are you malnourished, experiencing auditory hallucinations?"

The leading warrior player glared at him irritably, "Don’t freaking spout nonsense, you almost scared the piss out of me!"

"That’s right, with this terrain, we’re already on edge, if you keep making up this crap, can we even play the game properly?"

The others also expressed their dissatisfaction with this guy.

"I definitely didn’t see wrong, I’m going to go look for them!"

The stubborn player didn’t care whether his teammates agreed and directly swam towards the distance, "You guys wait, as soon as I see that person, I’ll call out to you!"

"..."

The others didn’t take him seriously, thinking he was just trying to save face. Everyone started their treasure hunt again, determined to uncover the hidden secrets.

"Ah ah ah... Save me!"

The same guy who had just left came rolling and crawling back, with a huge school of fish following him, relentlessly chasing after him.

"Damn it!"

"Get lost, don’t drag us down!"

"Damn, are you a spy sent by another guild to sabotage us?"

Everyone was horrified, no one dared to stay any longer. They scattered in a panic, terrified of being surrounded by the school of monster fish.

"Who knew these fish would only attack me and not him—"

Before the guy could finish, the fish swarmed him. The scene was so gory that pixelation appeared, and in the end, not even a corpse was left—it was respawned on the spot.

"This asshole, dying is one thing, but he left us such a mess. We need to give him a talking-to later!"

"Just have the guild leader kick him out, no need to fuss over it!"

"You sound somewhat normal when you don’t talk, just shut up!"

The sudden intrusion of the fish monsters scattered the players’ teams on the spot, as everyone fled in different directions, creating a chaotic scene.

...

"Overturning Water, what do we do now? These people are sticking around and not leaving, your mission is going to be delayed."

Yu Jing looked down at the lake water that was now murky and felt very annoyed.

"No worries, we’ve got the fish teaching them a lesson. This farce will be over quickly."

Su Ran wasn’t concerned. The three of them were now hidden within another school of fish, with no need to worry about exposure. They only hoped that these players would be wiped out, so they wouldn’t interfere with their quest.

"That poor sap was so naive. Seeing us in between the fish, he also barged in. Serves him right for his bad luck!"

Yu Jing had to laugh when recalling the event. That silly guy didn’t have the effect of a Calamity Avoiding Charm, so who else could the fish monsters attack if not him?

"It’s good that he’s already dead. Otherwise, it would have been a matter of time before we three were exposed."

Su Ran was relieved to have avoided a collision with these players but this relief didn’t last long. His gaze turned solemn as he noticed these players were coincidentally getting closer and closer to the coordinates, as if drawn there by fate. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that something bad was about to happen.

"You’ve got to be kidding me, are we going to end up benefiting these players?"

Su Ran was getting apprehensive. If it came to that point, he would be willing to risk his reputation and take them all out!

The Sun Soul Stone must not fall into anyone else’s hands!

"Overturning Water, why do I get the feeling that you’re a bit anxious?"

Yu Jing also noticed this, but she wasn’t worried at all. As the concerned party, if Overturning Water couldn’t trigger the plot, then these clowns wouldn’t either. She thought Overturning Water’s concerns were unnecessary. Triggering a plot wasn’t so easy after all!

"It’s probably just me overthinking. Let’s just sit tight and see what happens."

Su Ran felt he might be a bit paranoid. If the quest was that easy to trigger, the Sun Soul Stone would have been in the hands of players long ago. Thinking this, he felt much better.

"Wow, they finally know how to fight back. If they had acted like this earlier, would they have to be in such a sorry state?"

Yu Jing watched the battle below with bright eyes, as if she was watching a play, feeling rather excited. But just then, as if she had stumbled upon a new discovery, she exclaimed, "Sis, Overturning Water, look quick, where did all the corpses go?"

"What?!"

Su Ran focused his gaze and the slight unease in his heart grew. Just as Yu Jing had said, whether it was dead fish or player corpses, the moment they touched the bottom of the lake, they disappeared without a trace, not even leaving blood behind—this eerie occurrence was truly rare.

It wasn’t hard to guess that the secrets hidden by these coordinates were about to surface.

"Overturning Water, should we help these fish out?"

After Yu Jing’s reminder, Yu Jing also put aside her enjoyment of the chaos and became tense as well, "We can’t let them beat us to it, if necessary, we’ll have to kill to silence them."

"No rush, no one can see through this change. If danger arises, that would be troublesome."

Su Ran always felt that things wouldn’t be as simple as they seemed. For such a treasure to not have a guardian BOSS would indeed be unthinkable.
