Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1605 - 1425: Hostage (Two-in-One)_3

At this point, Youtong seemed to have thought of something and her cheeks turned rosy, like ripe red apples, irresistibly inviting.

"Hey hey hey, lovebirds, if you want to show off your affection, go home and do it, don’t stimulate us here!"

"Little Yue sis, it looks like you’re just jealous..."

"Don’t expect me to heal you both later, fend for yourselves."

"No way, Little Yue sis, I was just joking~!"

"What a coincidence, so was I."

It’s proven that you can’t afford to offend the healers—it’s a matter of life and death.

...

With the Creamy Youngster leading the way, the party of five left the fiery pit area and continued deeper into the territory.

"Overturning Water, up ahead we need to go underground for the quest. If it hasn’t changed, we have to choose someone as a hostage to gain the opportunity to enter the dungeon."

The Creamy Youngster looked into the distance, explaining the quest process to Su Ran, not missing a single detail, telling him everything.

Through Wan’er’s explanation, Su Ran kind of understood the dungeon’s next steps. To enter the underground, a hostage must be used as collateral. However, the hostage wasn’t actually in danger, as they would be imprisoned in the Mud Castle. To redeem the hostage, they had to complete a task for the Mudmen.

This dungeon’s process was not too complicated. After completing all the tasks, everyone would receive a dungeon treasure chest, able to randomly acquire a treasure. That was the main reason they kept running this dungeon.

"I’ll be the hostage."

Su Ran didn’t hesitate and spoke directly, "I’m not familiar with this dungeon and would only hold you back if I attempted the tasks. I’ll take on the job of the hostage; just don’t forget to redeem me."

"Okay."

The Creamy Youngster didn’t refuse Su Ran’s offer, as the hostage situation was only temporary, and it was no great harm.

"Hehe, Brother Overturning Water, you’ve replaced me. I used to always be the hostage,"

Youtong said spiritedly, "In a moment, you’ll be locked up in the dungeon, but don’t worry, it probably won’t take us half an hour to rescue you."

"Understood."

Su Ran was curious about the upcoming Mud Castle. If even mud could be used to build a castle, wouldn’t that make the building structurally unstable? He thought about the Elf Palace set atop the Sky-reaching Vine, which was even more ridiculous, and yet it didn’t collapse, so there was no need to worry about this castle.

About five minutes into their walk, a dark hole appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

The hole was about three meters in diameter, surrounded by a pile of mud, resembling a dry, old well, creating a feeling of antiquity.

As they approached within three meters of the hole, the pile of mud transformed autonomously into Mudmen. These Mudmen, of varying heights and builds similar to normal people, each held a mud rifle, assuming an aggressive stance towards them.

"Brother Overturning Water, it’s your time to shine. Will we tie you up, or will you do it yourself?"

Youtong chuckled, pointing at the Mudmen, "There’s no reasoning with these Mudmen; even bribes don’t work. They only recognize hostages. If we delay too long, they will start to attack us."

"The problem is I don’t even have a rope, how can I tie myself up?"

Su Ran said somewhat embarrassedly, as he surely couldn’t use the chains from Sun Meteor. Putting aside whether he could even drag that huge boulder, if these Mudmen recognized its value, wouldn’t he end up losing a magical artifact?
