Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1548 - 1391: Exclusive Bone Skill (Two-in-One)_2

"Man, the tiger has dramatically come to life! Isn’t this a bit too ridiculous?"

Su Ran couldn’t quite believe it and rubbed his eyes. Only after seeing the imposing figure of the Black Tiger of Extinction did he reluctantly accept this preposterous fact.

No choice, this is an online game, not reality. Things that can’t happen in the real world can happen here, which is exactly the charm of online gaming.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player Skeleton for completing the time-limited task, acquiring ownership of the exclusive bone skill, and gaining friendship from the Black Tiger king."

The system notification that Su Ran had been anxiously awaiting finally sounded. He had no time to think about anything else and hurriedly learned the Speed Gear bone skill. Only by doing so could he avoid the risk of getting blasted away!

"Ding! As the player Skeleton unsealed the spell on his own, the Black Tiger tribe has been revived, bringing a supreme disaster to the Fire God city. The Fire God is enraged, trial difficulty doubled, please be aware!"

However, the second system notification was like a bucket of cold water poured on Su Ran, completely cooling down his excitement and enthusiasm.

"Damn it, the task is totally botched, I’ve angered the Fire God, this trial task is going to be tough..."

Su Ran was self-aware that opposing the system would not end well. He admitted he had been too kind for easily saving the Black Tiger king that even the Fire God feared. Given another chance, he would definitely choose to redo the trial task, and for this black tiger, he would simply slaughter it while it was weak!

Unfortunately, that was impossible. Now that it had happened, the only option was to find a way to make up for it. How could he simply make amends for such a large group of black tigers?

Su Ran could imagine the Fire God city being ravaged by the black tiger army. If the Fire God didn’t step in, the city would face a fate of destruction and death!

If that’s the case, why bother with the trial? Just give up!

"Sigh."

Just as Su Ran was feeling frustrated, the Black Tiger king gently landed before him, its gaze filled with gratitude. Not just the tiger king, but all the black tigers considered Su Ran as one of their own, surrounding him curiously.

"You guys..."

Su Ran felt the warmth from the black tigers’ goodwill and was at the same time a bit puzzled. These black tigers were not as ferocious as he had imagined. At the very least, they wouldn’t bite the hand that fed them. Could it be that the Fire God had an undeniable responsibility for imprisoning the black tiger tribe?

That would make sense.

"Since I’ve already offended the Fire God, I might as well go all out and join the black tiger’s ranks to rebel against the Fire God city!"

Su Ran silently made his decision in his heart. If he was going to do it, he might as well go against the Fire God, using the momentum of the black tiger group to bring down the Fire God from his throne. By then, he wouldn’t need to complete the trial to receive the mission rewards!

With this thought, Su Ran was instantly revitalized. This wasn’t his first time going against the system, although his target this time was the formidable Fire God. It would be a tough bone to chew, and a careless slip could lead to utter doom. His only hope now lay with the Black Tiger king. A tiger that made even the Fire God wary must have some tricks up its sleeve!

"Brother Tiger, I’m counting on you from now on. I’m gonna hang with you guys!"

Having determined his next course of action, Su Ran was in high spirits. Being on the same side as this group of black tigers had an advantage - no traitors leaking information.

"?"

The Black Tiger king didn’t understand Su Ran’s meaning, proving how important it is to master a foreign language.

...

After bidding farewell to the tiger king, Su Ran left Dongshan. During this time, a deep revolutionary friendship was established between the two parties, which was a substantial gain.

Before the clash between the Fire God and the Black Tiger tribe, he had to complete and submit his task. This was about 100 fairy coins, and he couldn’t afford to waste them!

"Senior guards, Hu Hansan is back again."

After donning cold-resistant attire, Su Ran returned to the Fire God City. At the city gate, he was surprised to find that the two NPC guards wore faces of woe, as if they had lost a bet and were buried in debts. Puzzled by their demeanor, he inquired, "What’s going on with the two of you? If you’ve got troubles, just tell me, and I’ll help you sort them out!"

"Human warrior, you are unaware, in your absence, for reasons unknown, the temperature within the city soared erratically, plunging the residents into severe distress. The fluctuating cold and heat are unbearable—it’s nothing short of a calamity from the skies!"

The guard sighed, "We’re somewhat okay out here by the city gates, not much affected. If you enter, you won’t need to wear that cold-resistant clothing."

"What? What happened?"

Feigning confusion, Su Ran asked, "I step out for just a moment, and such a massive change occurs—this is truly bizarre!"

"Who knows what happened. Forget it, this damned weather isn’t something we lowly folks can control. We just have to survive this period."

The guard was reluctant to discuss the matter further, fixing his gaze on Su Ran, "Warrior, it’s unbelievable that you could escape from such a terrain like the eastern hills so rapidly. There are very few who could accomplish what you did!"

"Oh right, did you encounter the Black Tiger? After being sealed for so long, is it still breathing?"

As soon as the Black Tiger was mentioned, the guard showed renewed enthusiasm, speaking to Su Ran with a hint of excitement, "Back then, it took a great deal of effort to capture that Black Tiger. In the end, we had to use the Magnetic Heart Array to subdue it. Thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye—it’s astounding how time flies!"

Magnetic Heart Array?

Su Ran silently took note of this new term. So the formation made up of six magnet stones is known as the Magnetic Heart Array. To think it could trap the Black Tiger of Extinction for thousands of years is truly formidable!

Seeing the guard’s self-satisfied expression, Su Ran felt like informing him that not only had the Black Tiger of Extinction survived, but it had also regained its peak strength and could attack the city at any moment. Their leisurely days as guards were drawing to an end.

As for the sudden rise in temperature, it must be closely related to the Fire God’s wrath. This was just Su Ran’s speculation. Since the Fire God City is intimately connected to the Fire God, such an assumption was not unfounded.

The real drama was just beginning, with the best yet to come. It was unclear whether the Fire God, orchestrating everything from the shadows, would make an appearance following the emergence of the tiger horde. Su Ran was keen to see how capable the Fire God really was. The Trial Space was its home turf with certain power boosts, but dealing with a large group of Black Tigers wouldn’t be an easy task!

"Seniors, what you don’t know is that my venture was purely a stroke of luck. The eastern hills were littered with Black Tiger fur and droppings. I sifted these whiskers from there, and as for the Black Tiger itself, I didn’t even catch a glimpse of its shadow."

Su Ran attributed everything to luck. Only by doing so could he provide a plausible explanation; otherwise, these whiskers would be indeed difficult to justify.

"Human warrior, your fortune astounds us. No wonder you were assigned a trial task. Hurry and enter the city. Perhaps this is also a part of your trial, to solve this temperature issue and give the people some peace of mind!"

The guard, uncharacteristically urging Su Ran to enter the city quickly, left him feeling slightly uncomfortable.

"Seniors, please go ahead with your tasks, I’ll go have a look inside."

Su Ran ran into the city without even taking off his cold-resistant clothing; he had to complete his task before the Fire God took notice of him!

As he stepped into the city, Su Ran immediately felt the polar extremes of ice and fire. The temperature inside neared 40 degrees while the ground beneath his feet continued to emit a cold chill, making his lower body freeze and his upper body feel scorched, an utterly indescribable sensation.

With no alternative, Su Ran took out his cold-weather miracle tool, the Scythe, shed his cold-resistant clothing, and felt much better.

"Eh? It’s you again? The design of this weapon is quite unique, and it seems to be of high grade, isn’t it?"

Before Su Ran could go to the market in search of Wang Heizi, a familiar voice called out to him.

Turning his head, Su Ran saw a familiar face—it was Uncle Yu.
