Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1233 - 1146: Headshot

"President, Chest Hair found a new pet island and didn’t report it sooner. He waited until he was on his deathbed to mention it. He’s really selfish!"

On a luxurious flagship among the center of the fleet, a skinny magician player came before the lead person and began to badmouth Chest Hair.

"Everyone has their self-interest; it’s only human. No big deal."

Dai Xuan’s gaze remained fixed on the sea’s surface, showing no emotion on his face as he spoke in an icy tone, "This time, we absolutely can’t let that kid escape. Send the order down, whoever kills Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained will come to me for a reward—my word is my bond! Also, everyone needs to be on high alert. This is a rare opportunity; we can’t afford to miss out!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the fleet arrived at Undead Pet Island. Hundreds of players landed forcefully. The line of ships alone presented an imposing show of strength.

"Roar!"

Once summoned, the Red Gold Cloud Tiger couldn’t help but raise its head to the sky and let out a majestic roar, its regal demeanor unmistakable. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"What are you bellowing for! Even a mummy dog could scare you pissless, so cut the pretense here."

Dai Xuan, looking at his mount with utter irritation—seeing it couldn’t even hold its head up in front of Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’s mummy dog—felt utterly disgraced!

At that moment, he even thought about changing his pet.

"..."

Thinking about the terrifying mummy dog, the Red Gold Cloud Tiger’s imposing manner shriveled immediately. It hung its head low, a far cry from its previous grandeur.

"Let’s go. When we get into the thick of battle, take out that mummy dog first. Damn, just thinking about it pisses me off!"

Dai Xuan cursed under his breath as he mounted the Red Gold Cloud Tiger and led the charge.

Under his lead, the hundreds-strong force crushed all opposition, leaving no undead minions standing, and headed straight for the mysterious pyramid.

"President, did Chest Hair mention anything about the dangers inside the pyramid to alert the brothers so they could be prepared?"

Upon arriving at their destination smoothly, the magician player, seeing the president didn’t provide an explanation, couldn’t help but remind him.

"Hmm... Watch out for coffins, mummy cloths, and hidden arrows. There might be traps inside. Try not to touch anything unnecessary."

"Alright, I’ll inform everyone."

...

This pyramid was kind of strange—what goes in doesn’t come out. When they reached the stone gate, it automatically opened, saving them the trouble of needing any access tokens.

"Wow, calling it a pyramid isn’t wrong at all. There are even coffins made exclusively for mummies!"

"Damn, what’s with these tiny coffins, they’re not for kids, are they? How morbid is that?"

"Are you blind? Don’t you see the groove is shaped like a dog? This must be a mummy dog used for the burial!"

"In your house, they bury dogs; if you’re clueless, speak less!"

"How curious, there’s even a coffin for spiders here. The system’s really spicing things up!"

The group of players, upon entering this new terrain, burst into continuous exclamations, like a gaggle of country folks entering a grand manor, never shutting their mouths.

"..."

Dai Xuan, on the other hand, didn’t show any particular reaction; he just stared intently at the corridor beyond, but the atmosphere there made his expression somewhat grave.

"Guys, come take a look, there’s a painting hanging here!"

An observant player excitedly shouted, pointing at the mural on the wall as though he had discovered a new continent.

In fact, this was all thanks to Su Ran. Who would have thought he’d polished the painting until it shone? If none of them had noticed, they would have to be blind.

"A painting?"

Dai Xuan was initially taken aback. He hadn’t heard Chest Hair mention this. Could this be the hiding place of the treasure?

According to the thinking of a normal person, one would hide valuables in a secret compartment and then cover it up with a decorative painting to achieve the effect of hiding in plain sight. No wonder Dai Xuan thought this way. After all, the painting was similar in color to the wall, and it was difficult to detect without a closer look.

From this, it was clear that there must be some unknown secrets hidden behind it!

"Someone come and take a look at this painting to see what kind of mysteries are hidden inside!"

Dai Xuan was naturally cautious. When it came to unknown things like this, he would always let his subordinates take the risk rather than putting himself in danger. That was his way of survival.

"Make way, let me do it!"

The mage player volunteered, flashing Dai Xuan a confident smile before stepping forward to scrutinize the portrait in the painting.

"Boss, this painting seems to be of a king. He’s wearing a crown and holding a scepter, but his face looks a bit distorted, probably due to the passage of time," the player observed meticulously, wanting to show off in front of his boss. He analyzed the suspicious parts of the painting. "The signature in the lower right corner is illegible, probably the king’s name, which probably won’t be of much use later. As for the five marks on the painting, they are very peculiar and must be a cliffhanger left for us. I have my reservations about that."

What the mage player didn’t know was that those five marks were the footprints left by Su Ran’s big feet. Since his toe bones didn’t have fingerprints, it was understandable that the player couldn’t figure it out.

"As for the back of this painting..."

After analyzing the portrait, the mage player felt that his analysis was spot on, as he could tell from the astonished looks of the others. But just as the painting was moved, a trap was triggered.

"Swoosh!"

A black arrow shot out swiftly, striking the mage player squarely in the head, instantly blowing it apart. The arrow’s momentum didn’t decrease as it continued towards the depths of the corridor.

Without the protection of mummy wrappings, the poor player suffered a critical hit and burst out with 2000 damage, dying on the spot rather abruptly. The scene was so gory that the system pixelated it, thereby softening the effect of the death.

"Trap!!!"

"Damn, what just happened?"

"Holy shit, that arrow was so powerful!"

"Lucky I didn’t show off just now, or my head would have been smashed, so tragic!"

The players were shocked by the sudden scene. They had not anticipated that a deadly trap lay hidden behind the painting!

"..."

Dai Xuan said nothing, his face as dark as thunder. To encounter such an event was completely unexpected. They’d just entered the pyramid and had already lost a subordinate, to claim he wasn’t frustrated would be a lie.

"Let’s go!"

Taking one last deep look at the painting, Dai Xuan made a decisive decision. Without further delay, he led the team towards the depths of the corridor. Due to the unfavorable start, the atmosphere within the team became somewhat oppressive.

However.

Before they had taken a few steps, a dull roar came from deep within the corridor. The sound was so piercing that, despite the distance, everyone’s eardrums were left ringing painfully.

"Damn, it’s a boss fight!"

"Is it Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained that’s fighting the boss?"

"Haha, this is excellent news. Let’s hurry over and take out both the people and the boss. Boss, what do you think?"

Stimulated by the boss’s roar, the players instantly became spirited and urged Dai Xuan to make a decision.

"Good, let’s go and see!"
