Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2471 - 1885: Shuxin’s Miscalculation (Double-Length)
"Good, no one’s here."
Shuxin naturally avoided the sight of all the novice players and finally reached the second level of the Sewers. Just as she had expected, not even a footprint could be seen here, showcasing how deserted this place was.
She didn’t have time to assess the surroundings and immediately deployed a Ghost Fog Bomb, tossing it to the ground. The whole process went smoothly without anyone interfering, and once the countdown ended, the poisonous gas began to pour out, soon filling the second level of the Sewers.
"Aha, success!"
Seeing this, Shuxin obviously showed joy. The nausea she felt previously was now thrown to the back of her mind, with only the dense Ghost Curse fog in her eyes. The fog had reached such a level that not even the Human Emperor would dare to come down here. The higher the concentration of the poison fog, the stronger its negative effects, possibly even triggering fatal effects. This was precisely where her confidence lay.
With the Ghost Fog Bomb successfully deployed, her next step was to quietly watch the situation unfold, causing panic in the Human Race’s Imperial City. If she could turn the city into a ghost town, her achievements would vastly outshine those of Crane That Doesn’t Dance!
This way, the Ghost Clan’s military power would be closer to her!
However.
It’s unwise to celebrate too early, it easily attracts mischief.
At this moment, Shuxin naturally verified this truth. She stood above the sewer connection, eagerly peering down, waiting for the poison fog to appear.
To her disappointment, more than ten minutes passed without any sign of the fog emerging from the hole, which was truly inconceivable to her; this scene completely exceeded her understanding.
Strange...
Wasn’t this what the Ghost Fog Bomb’s attributes described?
Could it be that she was too hasty?
Then let’s wait a bit longer!
Shuxin trusted this Ghost Fog Bomb immensely; covering the entire Imperial City in poison fog was just a matter of time. The outcome was already predestined; she didn’t need to worry unnecessarily.
"Hey? Look, what’s that woman doing?"
"Has something good refreshed on the second level of the Sewers? I told you there had to be some secret here. The system wouldn’t leave an entirely useless terrain. Now you know I was right?"
"Quick, let’s check it out, don’t let her get ahead!"
A team of five players had their gazes drawn by Shuxin’s actions. Curious, they all stealthily crept closer.
Meanwhile, Shuxin, entirely focused on the poison fog below, didn’t notice anyone coming; she inadvertently exposed herself.
One warrior had a mischievous thought and quietly slipped behind her, cupping his hands around his mouth like a megaphone and shouted ’Ah!’
"Oh my!"
Shuxin was so frightened her face turned pale, losing control and plunging headfirst into the hole.
"Look what you did, a perfectly fine girl frightened like that. What if she lost her soul?"
"This is a game; you can’t lose your soul. I was just playing around. Who would’ve thought she’d react so strongly? Besides, this woman’s gear is very high-end; she’s probably a big-leaguer. Us newbies, with neither gear nor levels, combined we’re no match for her."
"What now? Is it alright to just give up on the treasure right in front of us?"
"Look at that dense fog below, something abnormal is bound to have a reason. I’d bet there’s treasure; no way I’ll believe otherwise!"
"Alright, let’s take the plunge! We’re newbies, our lives aren’t worth much, no loss if we die. Let’s go, check it out!"
"Yes, we can’t let her have the treasure all to herself!"
With their minds made up, the five men jumped down without hesitation. Even if the poison fog was treacherous, it couldn’t deter their resolve to obtain the treasure.
However.
Upon encountering the poison fog, they all sensed something amiss, instinctively opening their system panels, their expressions changing rapidly.
"Damn, what the hell is this? My weapon got forcibly unequipped!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Before the players could express any thoughts, several streaks of cold light flashed by, instantly emptying their health bars, leaving them unconscious.
In the moment following these five players’ demise, the grotesque form of a Bone-eating Beast emerged, only to disappear again.
"Serves you right for scaring me!"
Shuxin climbed out of the second-level space, a cold expression on her face, utterly annoyed. Earlier, she had truly been startled, almost losing half her soul—how absurdly hateful!
But what baffled her was that not only had the poison fog failed to spread, but its concentration hadn’t increased either. Where the fog released by the Ghost Fog Bomb had gone was unknown.
After waiting for about another half-hour, Shuxin finally confirmed that the Ghost Fog Bomb was entirely wasted, though she couldn’t fathom why.
"Look, there’s that woman, she’s still here!"
"I can’t even equip my weapon; what kind of curse is this? This second-level space is seriously spooky!"
"Risk and opportunity coexist; the greater the danger, the more likely there’s a hidden treasure. She’s stayed here so long without leaving, the treasure must not have been taken yet!"
"Luckily, we’re not too late!"
The ones speaking were the same team of five, now backed by reinforcements—over twenty experts above level forty. To them, overpowering a single female player should be more than enough. Killing her would mean no competition for the Sewers’ second-level treasure.
