Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2289 - 1792: Ghost Realm Tomb (Double-Length - )
Su Ran didn’t think much of it. From the tone and attitude of the chubby player, he seemed like a simple person. Adding the fact that he had a Mithril pet coffin deepened the impression. Helping him create a tomb would yield some benefits for Su Ran, that’s all.
"Let’s hope so. Hopefully, he knows what’s good for him."
Butter Child’s intuition told her that this chubby player was not a simple character, but she had no reason to voice it—it would just come across as slander and create a rift in Little Ran’s heart. It was best to take it one step at a time.
The water drop entrance to the tomb wasn’t far away, and they soon reached their destination.
"Overturning Water, don’t rush in. Something’s not right."
Butter Child observed the surroundings, her expression growing serious, "Look at the entrances on both sides; there are hundreds of people fighting to get in. But on our side, there are only a handful. The danger level inside should be high. Are you sure you want to go through this entrance?"
"Eh? It really is!"
Su Ran also noticed the anomaly, but he didn’t consider it further and said directly, "The chubby said he was right here and there are people queueing, so it shouldn’t be a dead end."
"..."
Butter Child didn’t persuade further, but her eyes showed a hint of worry.
"Overturning Water!"
Just as Su Ran was about to enter the tomb with Butter Child, a seductive voice came from not far behind.
As soon as the voice sounded, all the men turned their heads in unison. When they saw a woman player dressed in fiery red, they were instantly captivated.
Some even let out a wolfish howl, beckoning the woman player over.
"Hey beauty, alone? Want to team up?"
"Join our team; we just need a mage!"
"Come to this entrance; this is the Life Array!"
"Are you all driven by lust? Didn’t you hear she’s looking for Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained?"
"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained? He’s here too?"
"Are you blind? The person in the black robe over there, that’s him!"
"Damn, why did he choose that path? Isn’t that looking for death?"
"What do you know? He’s skilled and brave; it seems that there are great secrets in this tomb, even Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained is alarmed!"
...
The players’ chatter reached Su Ran’s ears, but he had no time to pay attention, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he watched the approaching fire mage, feeling an urge to escape.
"Overturning Water brother, didn’t we agree to call me when going to the tomb? Why did you come alone?"
This fire mage was indeed Drizzling Day. Her eyes didn’t hold anyone else, as she cheerfully approached Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, surprised when she got closer, "Oh, it’s Little Sister with you, no wonder you didn’t look for me."
"..."
Su Ran felt a headache coming on. He had hoped to evade Drizzling Day, but she found him nonetheless, and right in front of Sister Wan’er too. Now it was trouble. If this woman told Yu Jing, how would he explain?
So entangled, so troublesome!
"Oh, it’s President Drizzling Day. Greetings from this little sister."
As Su Ran was about to form an excuse, Butter Child took the initiative to make peace, explaining for Su Ran, "Overturning Water came this time to help a friend with a mission, don’t misunderstand."
"Oh, is that so?"
Drizzling Day’s expression didn’t change, "Helping you with a mission?"
"No, President Drizzling Day, why ask so closely?"
Butter Child felt displeasure at Drizzling Day’s pressing questions. She had found a way out, but President Drizzling Day seemed relentless. Did she really take her for someone easy to bully?
"If it’s not to help you with a mission, then... why are you two together?"
"President Drizzling Day, I happened to meet her, so we decided to do the mission together. Don’t ask too much; beware of making a laughingstock."
Su Ran couldn’t bear it anymore, sending a team invite to Drizzling Day. Since he couldn’t avoid her, he could only face it.
"Humph, all men are the same!"
Drizzling Day snorted coldly but didn’t refuse Su Ran’s invite, joining the team.
"..."
Butter Child already felt this woman’s hostility towards her, so she didn’t say much more, fiddling with the Bloodfire Fan in her hand.
"Let’s go, it’s our turn."
As the atmosphere grew awkward, Su Ran unexpectedly noticed the few people in front had already entered the tomb. He immediately said, "The chubby is in this passage, hurry, let’s go save him."
"Overturning Water brother, are you crazy?"
Drizzling Day spoke to stop him, "Didn’t you hear what others just said? Taking this passage is simply seeking death!"
"No problem, let my pet explore first. If there’s no danger, we’ll go in. It’s not too late."
Su Ran had already planned well. If this passage was indeed a dead array, he could confirm that the chubby intended to kill him, and his gratitude for the coffin was unnecessary.
"It’s handy to have a pet. Fine, let’s go with your plan."
Drizzling Day didn’t say more, following Su Ran towards the entrance, watching his and Butter Child’s backs, pondering.
"Squeak squeak~"
After summoning the Thunder Bat clone, Su Ran didn’t immediately attach his consciousness but first summoned ten Shield Warrior Skeletons and a Mechanism Divine Pig. Then he confidently controlled the Thunder Bat and plunged into the passage entrance.
"This is..."
Su Ran was shocked to find the Thunder Bat had entered a viscous liquid. The liquid was circular, about three meters in diameter, floating mid-air without signs of falling. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
This liquid was quite sticky, and the Thunder Bat seemed trapped in a swamp, unable to free itself no matter how it struggled, until Su Ran recalled the Netherworld Purple Fire skill, realizing it was similar. With that thought, he relaxed.
Moreover, the liquid contained a potent toxin, with the Thunder Bat’s health decreasing at a rate of 20 points per second. With its health, it could only last for about 200 seconds; the situation was serious.
He simply gave up struggling, using the limited time to observe the surrounding space.
When he saw the scene before him, his eyes widened in surprise.
His surroundings were filled with countless liquid bodies, each enclosing a skeleton structure. Few living players were trapped in the water blobs, desperately struggling, their faces showing fear, their eyes wide, unwilling to die within the liquid.
To prove it, their struggle was futile, gradually walking towards death under the toxin’s corrosion, unwilling to perish.
"No wonder no one takes this passage, no wonder it’s considered seeking death. Now, it seems there truly is some truth to it."
Su Ran was enlightened, not thinking further, but looked downward, trying to locate the chubby player.
Unfortunately, below was barren, not a single grass blade, let alone the chubby player—eerily desolate.
This showed he was indeed tricked by the chubby player.
Using the Mithril pet coffin as bait, waiting for him to bite, and then leading him to this dead end as planned. His mission achieved, not to mention, this chubby hid really deep, with a very clever mind!
While lost in thought, darkness fell before him, his consciousness forcibly expelled back into his body, signaling the Thunder Bat clone had perished.
"Overturning Water brother, how is it? What danger lurks inside?"
Seeing Su Ran’s changing expression, Drizzling Day couldn’t wait to ask, eager to satisfy her curiosity.
"Stay here, only come in when I say it’s okay. This dead end can be resolved by me; your entry will surely lead to death."
Su Ran didn’t explain much, finishing his instructions, took out the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe and Ancient Relic, and resolutely entered the passage.
The Ice Crystal Bone Scythe was embedded with the Ice Bead, allowing him to ignore water pressure resistance; thus, this liquid couldn’t trap him. With the Ancient Relic’s toxin absorption ability, it posed no threat to him, which was why he dared venture forth.
Once this space is resolved, he’ll seek out the chubby player for reckoning!
