Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1515 - 1368: Mysterious Statue

"Clang! Clang!"

The pile of rocks was mostly excavated, the ground littered with gravel debris, Su Ran ignored it, only thinking about completely clearing out all the stones.

At this point, he was incredibly annoyed by the colorful negative status effects. Although the rate of health deduction was gradually increasing, fortunately, with tomb grass and incense for replenishment, his life was not threatened for now. However, just to be cautious, he always maintained sufficient blood magic to avoid any accidents.

Heaven rewards the diligent. Through Su Ran’s persistent efforts, he finally cleared out the infuriating rocks. Much to his disappointment, there was no sign of the Thunder Heart Stone, not even a whisker, but the negative statuses had piled up extensively, making him feel like cursing.

"Could it be... these stones are just for show and not the key items?"

Su Ran, unwilling to give up, scanned the surroundings. Unfortunately, his night vision had worn off, and he could only rely on his own eyesight to carefully inspect the surroundings, still finding nothing.

"Something’s not right. If the system has set such a covert space, there must be some unknown secret, perhaps some conditions have yet to be triggered..."

Su Ran pondered deeply. Now at a critical point of the mission, as long as he found the correct steps to solve the puzzle, the Thunder Heart Stone would not escape his grasp!

Although he still had no clues, he wasn’t very anxious as, at the very least, he could use this time to dispel the negative statuses, preventing them from affecting his performance later.

However, looking back, it was also a stroke of luck that he encountered no danger during his weakest moments.

It turned out, the system would not allow these negative statuses to simply vanish.

While Su Ran was pondering the strategies for passing the level, an accident occurred. The ground debris forcibly refreshed, revealing the concealed ground.

"Click. Click. Click."

Three consecutive strange noises rang out, particularly jarring to his auditory nerves in this enclosed space. Faced with this sudden phenomenon, Su Ran was not alarmed but delighted; he hadn’t found the knack to clear the level, yet the system had delivered this big surprise right to his door!

Haha, what luck!

Since there was no need to further tax his brain cells, Su Ran was happy to relax, hiding on the side waiting for the plot to unfold. If it directly refreshed and showed the Thunder Heart Stone, that would be so comfortable.

Of course, this was just Su Ran’s wishful thinking, such effortless gains were something the system would definitely not allow. Thus, he was about to face unknown dangers and had to get prepared in advance!

"Swish!"

Before Su Ran could even summon a pet, a dazzling light suddenly lit up, expelling all the darkness from this area. After a brief adjustment period, Su Ran’s vision returned to normal. He was surprised to find a statue appearing on the ground previously covered by debris, its base, like an elevator platform, slowly elevating the statue. An intimidating aura released and rolled towards Su Ran’s direction.

"Not good, this statue is extraordinarily powerful, this is troublesome..."

Su Ran stared intently at the statue. Such a unique appearance suggested it was highly regarded by the system, certainly having a mission bestowed by the system, and it would be surprising if it weren’t powerful!

He compared the pressure effect; Sang Ze’s aura was stronger than that of Amu God King, but still nowhere near this extent. This indicated that the statue’s strength might very well surpass that of the God King!

While the statue had yet to fully rise from the ground, Su Ran summoned all his pets, not even missing the Mechanism Divine Pig.

Unfortunately, the Darknight Thunder Dragon had not yet fully assimilated the aura of the Evil Spirit and couldn’t join the battle, otherwise, it would have been a significant boost.

With the Summoned Beasts surrounding him, Su Ran felt much more confident. He watched the statue nervously, hoping all his debuffs would disappear before the statue awoke. Only then would his safety margin increase.

Without a doubt, the plot would not unfold according to Su Ran’s wishes. Before the plinth was fully stable, cracks began to appear on the statue. What was about to happen was clear to Su Ran; the BOSS would fully awaken, a fierce battle would ensue, and then it would drop the Thunder Heart Stone. There was no need to question this process.

"If only there was 502 glue in the game, to seal these cracks and see how this son-of-a-turtle would come out!"

Su Ran watched the BOSS struggling to break free from the statue’s restraint. He wanted to intervene but was powerless, only able to watch as more and more cracks spread across the statue, ready to shatter at any moment.

Eh?

Wait!

Su Ran surprisingly noticed that behind the statue, there was a massive stone hammer strapped on its back. As the stone shell cracked, it slowly began to fall, eventually settling around the waist area, which brightened his eyes.

It seemed the rope binding the stone hammer had long been overloaded, likely already broken. Now supported only by the stone shell, once the statue completely shattered, the stone hammer would fall to the ground!

Losing this stone hammer would significantly reduce the BOSS’s strength. Amu God King was an example; possessing the divine sword, he turned the tides in an instant, making Sang Ze unable to even raise his head. Su Ran silently made a decision: he must seize the opportunity to grab this stone hammer!

This was an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime!

At this moment, Su Ran saw a glimmer of hope for victory. However, another problem arose; he was burdened with a slew of debuff statuses, his body as fragile as glass, the kind that would die upon a single touch. Approaching the BOSS was akin to gambling with his life, with the imminent danger of death.

Nevertheless, Su Ran decided to take a risk, not for any other reason but to significantly weaken the BOSS’s strength. Moreover, he had Wang Cai’s incredible stealth ability. As long as the BOSS didn’t start with an area attack, there wouldn’t be a problem!

The situation was now urgent. Su Ran rode Wang Cai and rushed out. As long as he remained in stealth, he wouldn’t attract the BOSS’s aggro, which bolstered his confidence.

The plot unfolded as Su Ran predicted. Before the statue completely shattered, the stone hammer preemptively fell. As it hit the ground, Su Ran flexed his thighs to catch the hammer smoothly. Immediately afterward, he drove Wang Cai frantically towards the distance, fearing the BOSS would go berserk, leaving them no chance to escape.

"Crack, crack."

After losing the stone hammer, the statue’s fragmentation accelerated. Su Ran hadn’t gotten far when he heard a loud ’BOOM’—the stone shell exploded on the spot. Countless shards shot out, the explosion echoing like fireworks in the enclosed space, almost startling Su Ran off Wang Cai’s back.

Fortunately.

Wang Cai’s dodging ability was top-notch. It easily evaded the flying shards and did not break its invisibility, continuing until it reached a corner. Only then did Su Ran finally sigh in relief.
