Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1239 - 1152: Returning Full-Loaded

"Should I pick up the equipment first, or collect souls?"

At this moment, Su Ran found himself plagued by a small, yet delightful problem. The refresh rate of the bodies was faster than that of the equipment, but if he neglected the equipment, any unexpected event could lead to a bigger loss – no time for regrets! After weighing his options, he chose the former.

"Boom boom boom."

Before he even started to pick up the equipment, the ground began to shake, and the stone platform started to rise on its own, quickly reaching an additional three-quarters of its previous height. Due to an unstable foundation, the stone pillar slanted at a 45-degree angle, seeming on the verge of collapse.

"Haha, this really is a triple blessing, there’s definitely a secret compartment below!"

Su Ran glanced beneath the stone platform, and his excitement upon seeing the secret compartment was beyond words. However, he didn’t have time to open it and retrieve the treasures – picking up these gems was the real priority!

However.

Just as he was focused on picking up the equipment, he heard an angry shout nearby. A bald man jumped down from above. From his fierce momentum, it was clear he wasn’t someone to mess with, likely a person of importance.

Only, Su Ran didn’t recognize the man, which somewhat surprised him. But the moment the fellow jumped down, he accidentally stepped on the bodies below, lost his balance, and fell flat on the ground. The scene changed so fast, it almost gave him a slipped disc.

Cough cough, that was awkward.

"Turns out there’s another survivor, someone who dares to break out alone. Should I call him brave or stupid?"

Su Ran couldn’t help laughing to himself and shook his head. However, he didn’t underestimate this proactive player. To him, anyone who had the courage to act like this must have some trump cards up his sleeve, so it was better to be cautious.

He then summoned his legion of magical skeletons, and feeling that it wasn’t enough, he activated the Time Rewind skill. Another ten skeletons appeared from the deep pit.

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, I advise you to be sensible and hand over all the equipment you’ve picked up, in the hope that Leader Dai will call off your bounty!"

When the bald player saw Su Ran’s Skeleton Army, he realized the disparity between them. His rage vanished instantly, replaced by panic. He was annoyed with himself for being too impulsive. Going up against ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’ solo was tantamount to courting death – was he tired of living?

With that in mind, the bald player launched a verbal assault, "Brother Overturning Water, you can’t take on a big guild alone. It’s like an egg smashing against a rock – it never ends well. I advise you to step back now. That way, you won’t have to play the game in constant fear. Don’t you agree?"

"Dude, you’re really something!"

While Su Ran continued picking up the equipment, he let his skeletons surround the man, chuckling, "Stop talking like a child. Your whole force just got wiped out – do you think your Leader Dai will let me off the hook? Since I’m already on your guild’s hit list, nothing could be worse. Tell your leader to bring it on, whatever he’s got; I, ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’, will take it all!"

"You... are simply unreasonable! Be careful, or you won’t be able to mix in the God-Demon Continent any longer! You will regret this!"

Seeing that the situation was against him, the bald player, before being surrounded by the Skeleton Army, threw out a harsh remark and tore a Town Recall Scroll, disappearing from the pit.

"Regrets? I’m already close to dying, what else is there to regret?"

Su Ran shook his head with a smile, intentionally driving away the player so he could focus on picking up the equipment – a good deal indeed!

"Heh, what a comfortable day this has been!"

After capturing Dai Xuan and his crew, Su Ran felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. He was joyfully collecting the BOSS-dropped Bronze Equipment, not even letting the bodies slip by, cramming them all into his Storage Box. Then, he hurried over to the pile of player bodies, transforming various attribute crystals with the Corpse Soul Pot, feeling utterly delightful.

After all the bodies had respawned, Su Ran picked up another batch of equipment exploded out by players. If Dai Xuan knew about this, he’d be livid.

"Not easy, it’s finally over. Just picking up equipment wasted ten minutes, really something!"

Once Su Ran had finished picking up the equipment, he didn’t have time to examine it, he trotted to the secret compartment beneath the platform, and directly pulled at the protruding handle.

"Click."

Fortunately, the secret compartment wasn’t locked, and Su Ran easily opened it.

"Oh, come on, you’re kidding, right?"

But the moment he saw what was inside the compartment, he was stunned. What appeared before him was a black Pet Egg, only... this egg was too small, wasn’t it? It was almost the size of a chicken egg!

Ordinary Pet Eggs needed to be held with both hands. Now, however, this small and exquisite Pet Egg clearly didn’t look like anything special!

Su Ran was somewhat doubtful of the egg’s quality. He turned it over in his hands, but even with the Detection Technique, he couldn’t see the Pet Egg’s properties. Without thinking further, he stuffed it into the Storage Box.

After all, this was a Pet Egg obtained after much hardship, and since the Guardian Beast was the sphinx, it probably wouldn’t be too trashy. When he got back to his territory, he’d have the profiteer appraise it; maybe they knew the origin of this egg.

"Whoosh!"

The moment Su Ran stowed the Pet Egg, he was forcefully ejected from the island, tumbling into the sea.

"Crap!"

Floundering out of the water, Su Ran took a few steps in the air, wiped off the moisture on his body, and then complained, "Pet Island refreshes without even a warning, that’s really not cool!"

"Lucky the timing of the island’s refresh was just perfect. If it had been a few minutes earlier, I’d have missed out on this Pet Egg. That was close!"

Thinking this, Su Ran almost broke out in cold sweat. He looked around the vast blue sea. Seeing no island or even players’ ships, he lost any desire to stay and teleported back to his own territory, Skeleton Village.

"Now I can comfortably tally up the gains, nice!"

This time Su Ran had truly hit the jackpot. In Skeleton Village, he needn’t worry about any dangers; it was like being in a safe, incredibly secure. Anyone wanting to steal his spoils of war had to conquer his territory first!

"Didn’t expect those Dancing Demons fellows to be so generous, they contributed three golden weapons, although they’re just level 30, it’s still pretty good."

Su Ran rummaged through the loot, finding that these players had also presented him with quite a few silver and Bronze Equipment, but those were just things to be exchanged for monetary value, nothing worth paying much attention to.

However, these were just appetizers. The equipment burst out of the sphinx was the main event of this bout. You should know that one cannot detect the properties of this BOSS, indicating that its level was much higher than his own. Surely, the equipment it dropped was not ordinary.

"Aha, this must be a treasure!"

As soon as Su Ran held the first piece of equipment in his hand, he felt it was unusual. It was a black spiral beast horn, made of an unknown material, weighing around twenty pounds, and the tip of the black horn sparkled with a sharp light, clearly extraordinary.
