Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1744 - 1507: 100 Lock Coffin (Two-in-One)_2
"Little Skeleton, Spirit, what brings you two to me today?"
Yin Si stepped out of the coffin and nearly stumbled, but quickly caught himself with a hand on the ground, flipping acrobatically to avoid embarrassment.
"Lord Yin Si, what are you saying? Can’t I just visit you without a reason? You’re being too distant!"
Su Ran took a step forward and exclaimed, "Seeing how lively you are, it seems you’ve been doing fine lately."
"You? Really? Whenever you come to see me, it’s always because you need something. Just get to the point and don’t disturb my sleep!"
Yin Si sneered and left Su Ran with no face, directly calling him out.
"Overturning Water brother, it seems like you’re making things worse."
Seeing Yin Si’s displeasure, Banana quickly took out the coffin, speaking respectfully, "Senior, I need your help. Can you open this coffin?"
"Hmm? The Hundred-Locked Suppression Coffin?"
Yin Si, knowledgeable as ever, immediately recognized the coffin’s name. He walked over with a serious expression, circling it several times before exclaiming, "Spirit, you’re lucky. This coffin hasn’t appeared for nearly a thousand years."
"Haha, I told you it was a treasure! Just the age makes it seem grand!"
Banana was thrilled, pumping his fist in the air. It seemed Overturning Water brother was right, this swindler sure knows his stuff!
"Buddy, you’re getting excited too early."
Su Ran shook his head and sighed. Youths just can’t control their emotions. Soon, when the swindler overcharges, who else but you will pay for it?
"Spirit, first let me finish. This Hundred-Locked Suppression Coffin appearing might not be a good or bad thing, depending entirely on your decision."
Yin Si broke into his signature smile, scratched his chin with a bony finger, waiting for Banana to respond.
"Please, senior, guide me. I don’t want things to turn bad."
"Guidance? It’s not impossible, but the fee for that is different."
Yin Si steered the topic back on track, "Do you want detailed knowledge or just an overview?"
Oh boy, there’s even this kind of trick!
Banana was dumbfounded, unable to make a choice immediately. He looked at Su Ran for help, hoping he would speak up.
"Lord Yin Si, we don’t want its history. We want to know how to open this strange coffin!"
Su Ran went straight to the point, knowing this was Yin Si’s usual tactic—paying a pointless amount only for the coffin to remain closed. If you want it open, pay more!
"Heh, Little Skeleton, Spirit, aren’t you curious about the origins of this Hundred-Locked Suppression Coffin?"
Yin Si tapped the coffin, "It’s rare for me to be in the mood today. Miss this chance, and it’s gone forever!"
"Senior, just tell us how to open the coffin, we don’t want to know anything else."
Banana caught on quickly, following Su Ran’s lead without leaving room for hesitation.
"100 Underworld Coins, non-negotiable."
Yin Si showed a regretful expression, "I thought I could earn more from you, what a pity."
"Senior, here’s 100 Underworld Coins. You can tell us now."
Banana handed over the 100 Underworld Coins without much difficulty, having exchanged a lot for them already. He’s tired of bargaining with this swindler; opening the coffin is priority!
"Great! I love dealing with spirits like you, unlike this little skeleton who drags his feet when haggling."
Yin Si was very satisfied collecting the coins and said, "To open this coffin, you must find death energy stemming from the same origin."
"Death energy of the same origin? What do you mean?"
"Inside, there’s an Evil Spirit sealed. To suppress this Evil Spirit, the Demon Sovereign used the Hundred-Lock Seal, and all the keys were destroyed to ensure it never rises. Unexpectedly, after just a thousand years, you dug it up."
"No wonder we couldn’t find a key, they were all destroyed. But without a key, how can we open the coffin?"
Banana turned to Su Ran, excitedly saying, "Overturning Water brother, did you hear that? Inside the coffin, there’s an Evil Spirit sealed, definitely a high-tier BOSS. When the time comes, together we’ll defeat it, maybe even get some great loot!"
"Stop dreaming and let’s focus on opening the coffin first."
Su Ran knew that since Yin Si said so, there must be a solution. But where to find this same-origin death energy?
The key question is, what exactly is this Evil Spirit? How to find something of the same origin?
"As the Evil Spirit grows stronger, the Hundred-Lock will naturally fail to suppress it, so opening the coffin would not be a problem."
Yin Si happily explained, deeply watching the two before continuing, "This Evil Spirit is not an easy foe; keep that in mind."
"Senior, what race is this Evil Spirit from?"
Banana quickly asked. Understanding this detail would help find the death energy.
"Ghost Clan!"
Yin Si said each word deliberately, "After the Ghost Clan was suppressed, they never appeared on the God-Demon Continent in large numbers again. For you to gather enough death energy, it might be difficult."
As soon as Yin Si finished, Su Ran remembered seeing the Ghost Clan army earlier, joy lighting up his face as he asked instinctively, "Absorbing a lot of Ghost Clan death energy won’t have too big an impact, right?"
"A lot of absorption? Wait, has the Ghost Clan passage been opened?"
Yin Si was astonished, eyes widening in surprise, "The more Ghost Clan death energy absorbed, the greater the power boost to the Evil Spirit, possibly even growing into a Ghost Venerable!"
"What? The Evil Spirit can grow that strong?!"
Su Ran was utterly shocked. If placed in the Ghost Clan, it would definitely be cultivated deliberately, mass-producing Ghost Venerables would be no problem! How will the God and Demon Clans compete?
What happened to game balance?
Simply ridiculous!
"Lord Yin Si, if the Evil Spirit could become a Ghost Venerable, why would the Ghost Clan not treat it as a great ancestor and allow it to be sealed by the Demon Clan?"
Su Ran was puzzled beyond measure; if it were him, he would never let the Evil Spirit leave the Ghost Realm, at least not until it reached Venerable level!
"Treat it as a great ancestor? Haha, you’re hilarious."
Yin Si laughed coldly, "This Evil Spirit isn’t as simple as you think. In the Ghost Clan, it’s a hot potato they’d toss away at the earliest chance. Evolving it into a Ghost Venerable requires nearly the entire clan’s worth of ghost soldiers and generals to die! Such high operational costs, how can the Ghost Clan afford it?"
"And there’s one more thing—why do you think it’s called an Evil Spirit? It’s because..."
Yin Si coughed just right to set the atmosphere before continuing, "This Evil Spirit doesn’t discriminate between friend or foe. Even if it grows to Demon Sovereign level, it kills indiscriminately, so why would the Ghost Clan dig their own grave by keeping it in their territory? They couldn’t wait to get rid of it."
"Then why didn’t they just kill it?"
Banana interjected, "Wouldn’t killing it eliminate the future threat? Why seal it here?"
"Easier said than done!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Yin Si chuckled at their naivety, "Killing it would unleash a terrible plague, leaving no grass for nearly a century. Contamination would drastically reduce health, affect speed and evasion, and bring bad luck. As for how long the toxin stays in the body, I never tested it."
"Oh wow, that’s a treasure!"
Upon hearing of a century-long barren land, Su Ran’s eyes lit up, completely ignoring Yin Si’s warning. He kept asking, "Lord Yin Si, does the plague’s intensity after the Evil Spirit’s death relate to its own strength?"
"Such naive thinking! This Evil Spirit is a plague body, inherently poisonous, with no relation to strength levels! That’s why it was sealed. Why, you seem happy about this?"
Yin Si eyed Su Ran closely, sensing something off, even through the mask.
"Hahaha, no, why would I be happy? Such a dangerous Evil Spirit must not die in my village!"
Su Ran barely suppressed his laughter, speaking seriously, yet secretly thinking, as long as it dies outside the village, it doesn’t matter...
A plague lasting a hundred years is the ultimate defensive barrier! Anyone attacking his territory will face a poisoning combo first!
The appearance of this Evil Spirit is perfectly timed, wahaha!!!
