Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1538 - 1384 Struck Rich

"Clang! Clang!"

At this moment, Su Ran couldn’t care less about the old hen task and started digging forcefully towards this hidden door. And let me tell you, his continuous digging proved effective; the entrance gradually widened, and within less than two minutes, it had reached over a meter in height.

Without any hesitation, Su Ran dove into the tunnel, eager to uncover what kind of secret was hidden inside!

"This..."

Upon reaching the deepest part, he was stunned by the scene before him. Surprise turned to ecstasy in the span of a second, compelling him to let out a howl and lunge forward—forget manners, forget any level of decency!

As for why Su Ran lost his composure so completely, it was because he found a neat stack of cotton garments at the deepest part of the chamber, which were the exact style of cold-proof clothing Uncle Yu had once tried to sell him!

Only by wearing these cold-proof clothes could one withstand the chilling cold of Fire God City, making it a fundamental assurance for undertaking the Fire God Trial.

What thrilled Su Ran the most was that these clothes, even if unneeded, could be sold for fairy coins!

Who would have thought that a simple chicken-finding task would hide such a tremendous treasure? Such luck!

Wait a second.

Were the cold-proof clothes sold by Uncle Yu taken from here?

If that’s the case, what exactly is the relationship between Uncle Yu and the Fire Rat Wolf?

Could it be, they have some sort of partnership?

All these doubts shrouded Su Ran’s mind, creating more confusion. Just as he was pondering over this, a sharp screech disrupted his thoughts.

"Hey, the boss has returned!"

Although surprised, Su Ran didn’t panic. He immediately summoned Wang Cai and turned invisible, ensuring that the Fire Rat Wolf, no matter how powerful, wouldn’t detect the real identity of the burglar!

As expected.

Shortly after Su Ran turned invisible, a small creature dashed in. This animal looked no different from a brown rat, except it was fire-red. It filled with fury upon discovering the damaged door, especially seeing all the cold-proof clothing missing, it shrieked even louder.

The piercing sound waves vibrated through the air, hitting even the invisible Su Ran, causing his mind to blur and momentarily lose consciousness.

Fortunately, the sharp cries of the Fire Rat Wolf, though intense, did not break the invisibility effect of Wang Cai, meaning all its screeching was in vain.

Losing its guarded treasure infuriated the Fire Rat Wolf, which kept darting around as if trying to vent its inner rage.

"Poor guy, it’s just some lost equipment, not like someone broke into his home—no need to be so dramatic, honestly!"

Su Ran was merely enjoying the show, and he quietly moved to the entrance to check out the Fire Rat Wolf’s attributes.

[Fire Rat Wolf]LV40 (Quest BOSS)

Attack: 310-330

Defense: 106

Agility: 7

Active Skills: Crazy Rending—close-range attack using sharp teeth and claws, attack +28%, 20% chance of inflicting fire poison, deducting 50 health per second, lasts 15 seconds.

Cowardly as a Mouse—upon receiving fatal damage or being frightened, will forcibly break hate lock, evasion +3, agility +2, lasts 2 minutes.

"The level 40 quest BOSS has generic attributes and isn’t much of a threat, but its skill of being as timid as a mouse makes it hard to kill."

Su Ran weighed the pros and cons and decided to just complete the quest without provoking the Fire Rat Wolf.

The main reason was that he dreaded the Fire Rat Wolf’s farts could form a toxic fog — what a stench it must be!

But to Su Ran’s disappointment, after leaving the dark room, he didn’t see the old hen, could it be that it was eaten by the Fire Rat Wolf?

That shouldn’t be the case!

The system would definitely allow players ample time to complete the quest. Moreover, if the old hen was eaten, it would only result in a mission failure notification, yet the quest remained unchanged. That made one thing clear, the Fire Rat Wolf didn’t steal the hen!

"Uncle Yu, it was you messing around!"

When the farmer gave Su Ran two suspects, the first was Uncle Yu. Since the Fire Rat Wolf was ruled out, it had to be him.

With this thought, Su Ran lost the desire to stay any longer, packed up Wang Cai, and walked directly to the cave entrance to activate the Blazing Fire Divine Curse skill again and easily escaped through the flames.

However.

Just as Su Ran was planning to leave the area, he unexpectedly saw two figures approaching from a distance, which took him by surprise. He quickly hid behind a rock half the height of a man, concealing himself.

He wanted to see who exactly was coming here; it seemed there were more twists in the quest, so he was not in a rush!

Once the two were closer, Su Ran could clearly make out their identities — it was definitely Uncle Yu and Old Man Fan.

"It’s strange, how did these two end up together?"

Initially, Su Ran suspected that Uncle Yu was the chicken thief, but after seeing these two, he dismissed his suspicions and patiently awaited the plot to unfold.

"Uncle Yu, are you sure that kid entered there?"

Old Man Fan’s voice came first, causing Su Ran to be somewhat baffled.

What exactly is going on?

Wasn’t the goal to search for the old hen? Why has the target shifted to himself?

"Could there be any doubt? I’ve already sensed the angry psychic waves of the Fire Rat Wolf. It looks like their fight was intense. Let’s go, we need to help it!"

"Did you prepare the straw I asked you for?"

"All set!"

"Good, throw the torches, burn this kid!"

Following Uncle Yu’s words, two torches were thrown with a whoosh, eagerly anticipating a surge of flames bursting from the cave — if not killing that guy, at least to suffocate him!

Su Ran watched this unfold and finally realized, all the straw stacked at the bottom of the cave was prepared for him! This Fire God Trial had unknowingly officially begun!

He recalled the encounter with Uncle Yu and various abnormalities with Old Man Fan, realizing that from that time onward, these two were scheming against him!

Devious, truly devious!

The quest for the chicken was a sham — using him to kill someone else was the real intent!

Since you are ruthless, don’t blame me for being merciless!

The two NPCs waited for almost half a minute but did not see the flames emerge. Without any nonsense, they jumped into the cave.

Great opportunity!

Taking advantage of the moment, Su Ran swiftly rushed into the flames, extracted a large clump of straw and leaves, ignited it with the flames, and fiercely threw it into the cave; that wasn’t all, he also threw in a strike of Netherworld Purple Fire, giving them a taste of choking on smoke and fire!
