Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1587 - 1416 Youtong’s Opportunity

"Overturning Water, do you think there might be a trap inside?"

The Creamy Young Man always felt that there was something fishy about this burrow. Why would the Snow Rat choose this exact time to burrow, leading them here and then digging? Wasn’t it deliberately luring them into a trap?

"I don’t know if there’s a trap, but I do know there’s a wounded Dark Gold BOSS inside. If we hesitate any longer, its health is going to fully recover."

Su Ran was unwilling to give up on this burrow space. Even if there were dangers, she was ready to risk it, for it likely contained a key item—a kind of cheating device. How could they give up on that!

"That’s true. Just this BOSS alone is worth diving in for an adventure."

Only then did the Creamy Young Man let go of his wariness and looked into the distance, waiting for the rest of their teammates to arrive.

It must be said, the snowy environment posed a major obstacle for Big Smoky and the others, severely limiting their speed of advance—describing it as staggeringly slow wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Fortunately, the distance between them wasn’t too far. It took less than three minutes for the trio to finally arrive at the scene.

"Little Cream, Brother Overturning Water, where’s the BOSS? Did you two already kill it?"

Youtong first glanced around and didn’t see the Snow Rat, then looked at Su Ran and the other with excitement, "Quick, show me, did it drop any good loot?"

Not only did Youtong misunderstand the situation, but even Big Smoky and Gu Yue thought that the Snow Rat BOSS was already dead, since it only had less than one-fifth of its health left—it was entirely possible for the two of them to have killed it.

"What are you talking about? Hurry up and follow, don’t let the BOSS escape!"

The Creamy Young Man, who had no time to explain in detail, urged them anxiously, "Overturning Water, lead the way!"

"What’s the situation here?"

Youtong, Gu Yue, and Big Smoky looked at each other in confusion, completely baffled. They didn’t understand what the Creamy Young Man meant—if the BOSS wasn’t dead, why were both of them still standing here?

What’s more ridiculous is, was this Snow Rat kindly waiting for them to go and hunt it down?

Is that even possible?

"Let’s get moving, if we delay any longer, all our efforts will have been in vain."

Su Ran took the lead and quickly arrived at the entrance of the burrow, guarded by a Bone Eagle to prevent the Snow Rat from escaping through the hole.

"Brother Overturning Water, you’re not telling me we have to crawl through this rat hole..."

Youtong looked at the burrow with disgust—it was about two meters in diameter, so it was easy to crawl through, but just the thought of it being a rat hole made her feel sick.

"That’s right, to kill this Snow Rat BOSS, we must crawl through."

Su Ran understood that this was a tall order for the girls. Asking them to crawl through a rat hole required a lot of courage!

"What are you all waiting for? I’ll take the lead!"

Big Smoky couldn’t stay put any longer, diving headfirst into the burrow and quickly disappearing inside.

"Hurry up and follow!"

The Creamy Young Man led by example, going in second, followed by Su Ran, then Gu Yue, leaving only Youtong by herself.

"What kind of people are you, not even offering a word of comfort..."

Youtong looked at the rat hole with some difficulty, steeling her heart, she closed her eyes and muttered, "It’s just a game, it’s not real..."

"Swoosh!"

The rat hole was like a long slide. Youtong, eyes tightly shut, let herself slide through the burrow, now completely disoriented, without any sense of direction, not even knowing north from south.

"Plop!"

Youtong didn’t know how long it had been before she finally hit the ground, and that hanging heart of hers finally returned to her stomach. She opened her eyes to look inside, only to find it pitch-dark, unable to see anything clearly. Out of necessity, she lit a torch and after observing the terrain by the light of the fire, she realized that this place was not as bad as she imagined — not even a trace of rat droppings, which made her think that even the Snow Rat might be a clean freak.

"Huh? Where is everyone?"

To her surprise, Youtong found not a single person in sight, which was truly odd!

"Ghosty, come out, I see you, stop hiding!"

With her fearless nature, she was now so scared that her face turned pale, and she called out with a trembling voice, "Ghosty, if you don’t come out, I’ll never forgive you in my life!"

Unfortunately, there was still no response, and the sheer silence of the space made her heart tremble.

"Could it be... that I’ve entered a second dimension?"

Youtong had the illusion that she had somehow crossed into a different dimension, no longer in the same space as her teammates.

"It can’t be that mystical. This is just a game, maybe I’ll run into them down some path."

With this thought in mind, Youtong finally mustered some confidence and started walking forward slowly.

Luckily, she had her shield by her side, which gave her some comfort. Even if danger arose, she would have time to react. This was also the reason why she had the courage to explore on her own.

However.

When Youtong had walked about a hundred meters away, she suddenly discovered a golden, shimmering treasure chest appearing in front of her.

"Wow, a gold treasure chest!"

Youtong was ecstatic to see the gold chest, feeling as if she had been struck by a huge pie, and jumped up excitedly.

At this moment, she felt no fear; she now knew that this layer of space was prepared for the destined ones, a direct reward of a golden chest from the system. What a generous move!

"Hmph! Making me wait for you all, I’ll make you all jealous once I open this chest!"

Youtong gave a little snort, her heart swelling with triumph. However, just as she was about to move forward to open the chest, she hesitated.

"Could this... be a trap?"

She looked left and right carefully, but saw no guardians around the chest, which made her even more puzzled and hesitant to take the risk.

Soon after, Youtong circled the chest several times, even getting close enough to touch it, but no danger appeared. Only then did she feel reassured, mustering the courage to open the chest.

...

"Little Tung, Little Tung!"

Speaking of Big Gray Ghost, after sliding down the hole, he waited for Youtong but in vain, calling out to her from below, but to no avail. Even when he sent messages, there was no reply from Youtong.

"Big Gray Ghost, maybe Little Tung can’t overcome her fear. Let’s just leave her up there. Let’s hurry up and kill the BOSS so we can get back early and not keep her waiting."

Creamy Young Master, understanding Youtong’s feelings at the time, didn’t wait any longer and led the team forward.

"Why are there no monsters here? Brother Overturning Water, are you sure the Snow Rat BOSS fled this way?"

After they had been moving for a while and still hadn’t seen the Snow Rat, Big Gray Ghost grew suspicious and couldn’t help but voice his question.

"If there isn’t a second exit, then we’re correct."

Su Ran wasn’t feeling anything amiss, convinced that good wine needs no bush, and that as long as there was a BOSS to be found, no matter how far they had to walk, it wasn’t a problem. After all, they had already been delayed by five or six minutes, and if the BOSS wanted to flee, it would have done so long ago.

"Look there, what is that?"

They hadn’t gone much further when they were stunned by a sight ahead. In the dark depths in front of them, hundreds of red dots appeared, twinkling and standing out against the black elements, especially conspicuous.
