Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1603 - 1425: Hostage (Two-in-One)

"Today’s luck is too good; this dungeon is a total jackpot!"

The excited Big Smoker didn’t even know how to express himself, running towards where the Snowman King was defeated. The glittering equipment scattered all over the ground was extremely eye-catching, no wonder he lost his composure.

"Little Sister Su, did you see that cute Snow Rat?"

At this moment, Youtong’s heart was not set on the spoils of war at all. Scanning around, she still couldn’t find the elusive figure that haunted her dreams, which left her greatly disappointed. She couldn’t help but ask Creamy Su, "Do you think the Snow Rat is imprisoned somewhere by the Snowman King?"

"Youtong, you can’t force such opportunities. Without specific quest clues, even if you search the entire dungeon, you won’t find the Snow Rat. This must be set by the system. Just keep doing the dungeon, you two are bound to meet eventually."

Creamy Su looked helplessly at Youtong, but she understood that for someone straightforward like Youtong, such treatment was indeed tough on her.

It’s easy to guess, if the reward wasn’t the rare golden Snow Rat, Youtong would have given up long ago, not bothered to stick around till now.

"Hahaha, guess what I got?"

Big Smoker picked up all the equipment and items, waving around a golden wooden stick about one meter long, "Look at this, what is it?"

"Isn’t that just your staff weapon? Nothing to brag about."

Gu Yue said irritably, "You two love keeping people in suspense. Just post the attributes screenshot and be done with it, why make us guess, so boring!"

"Haha, knew you’d guess it’s a weapon, but here’s the answer, it’s a special key!"

Big Smoker laughed excitedly, "Su, do you remember the secret door at the end of the dungeon? This is the key to open that secret door!"

"Quick, let me see!"

Creamy Su immediately perked up, took the golden long stick to check its attributes, and her eyes lit up with surprise, "So it turns out the Snowman King dropped the key, now we can break into the secret door!"

"It wasn’t easy, finally, we found this key. We killed the Snowman King so many times and never saw the key drop; the odds are so low!"

Gu Yue let out a sigh, recalling how they almost turned the whole dungeon upside down looking for this key, not expecting it to be hidden on the Snowman King. The system really played a big joke on them.

Su Ran wisely did not join the conversation since he delivered the last hit on the boss. Who knows if his high Luck Value had anything to do with the key dropping. If these guys found out, they’d probably drag him along in future dungeon plots, just thinking about it gave him a headache.

"Look, there’s another special item, a Fire Avoidance Talisman, which grants immunity from fire damage for ten minutes. However, it doesn’t protect against fire magic attacks and can only be used in this dungeon, which is about as useful as a chicken rib."

Big Smoker had no interest in the talisman and scoffed, "What, they want us to jump into a fire pit? What can you do in just ten minutes, it’s absolutely baiting us to go die, the system’s conscience is really messed up!"

"Don’t say that, this talisman must have its uses, maybe there’s a fire challenge behind the secret door, nobody can tell."

Creamy Su did not leave the talisman behind, gathering it along with some common equipment, which might be used to stock up the guild’s warehouse.

"Hopefully, that’s the case. We haven’t explored that secret door yet; who knows what dangers lie inside. If it’s as you say, then the system still has some conscience."

Big Smoker temporarily set aside his complaints about the system, then pulled out a dark stone, "Everyone, step back, I’m going to open the passage."

A passage?

Su Ran was momentarily startled, then quickly realized the meaning behind Big Smoker’s words, remembering that Sister Wan’er had told him that killing the Snowman King was necessary to proceed in the dungeon. It seemed this stone was the key item for continuing the dungeon.

Indeed.

The moment Big Smoker crushed the stone, a dark light emerged, forming a gateway that appeared in front of them.

As they entered the gateway, they hadn’t gotten far when an ocean of flames blocked their obligatory path, and the heat wave forced them to quickly shed their winter clothes to barely withstand the high temperature.

Holy crap, there really is a fire pit!

Su Ran had thought Big Smoker was just blathering, but in this Ice and Snow terrain, there was indeed a fire pit burning vigorously, undiminished by the howling cold wind—it was truly magical.

"Overturning Water, up ahead is the fire pool terrain, don’t underestimate the power of this flame,"

Creamy Su pointed to the fire pit and warned, "If you fall in by accident, probably not even your bones would survive!"

"That harsh? But then again, to come across such a fire pit in this cold weather, it’s truly incredible!"

The appearance of this fire pit provided Su Ran a stark contrast of cold and hot sensations. He marveled, now this is truly an example of ’fire and ice’, the real-life version can’t even compare.

"In a game, anything absurd can happen, even a Snowman can be a monster, there’s no need to be surprised by this little thing."
