Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1856 - 1564 Exposure (Two-in-One)_2

"What did she say?"

Su Ran was immediately intrigued. He hadn’t expected this guy to have some charm, with female classmates telling him these things. He looked forward to the unfolding drama.

"I suggested she go see a forensic pathologist."

"..."

Su Ran was speechless, finally realizing that Banana was indeed a straightforward guy.

They didn’t converse much and focused on digging the grave soil in front of them, mostly to avoid their conversation being overheard by Uncle Yu outside, which would be troublesome. Though Uncle Yu was trapped inside the formation, he could appear in the cave at any time, so they had to hurry!

Su Ran assigned Soul Bewilderment’s ghostly elite monsters to the cave entrance, making them guard the door—an absolutely competent set of gatekeepers. Even if Uncle Yu came, it would take him some effort, giving the two of them some preparation time.

"Hey, why hasn’t Uncle Yu come over yet? It’s been over ten minutes, hasn’t it?"

Banana could not bear the solitude. After just ten minutes, he couldn’t help asking Su Ran beside him, "Do you think they might have gone halfway up the mountain? Also, who knows what treasures are hidden inside the stone door, too bad they got there first..."

"Relax. Without the key, they can’t get in. Plus, they’re now trapped in that bewildering formation, they might not be able to get out at all!"

Su Ran responded without even looking up, speeding up his grave digging efforts. Before meeting Uncle Yu, he wanted to dig as many shovels as possible!

"This Beast King Xisi is a guarding boss; the bewildering formation shouldn’t be able to trap him. It seems like he and Uncle Yu don’t get along and didn’t want to exert himself."

Banana shared his speculation, then asked, "Hey, have you dug up any treasures yet? I’ve found two demon storage boxes, not bad luck, right?"

"Beast King Xisi prides himself on his beastly pride. Why would he easily yield? Even if Uncle Yu conquered the Beast King, he likely didn’t use honorable methods, and betrayal is just a matter of time!"

As he said this, Su Ran’s brows slightly raised, forming a new plan, "Find a way to rescue the Beast King from Uncle Yu’s control; that way, we might have a chance to turn things around!"

"There really is a chance! The Beast King is likely angered, and the chances of betrayal are quite high. If we rescue him, won’t he give us substantial rewards?"

With Su Ran’s guidance, Banana suddenly understood and agreed enthusiastically, "Hey, you haven’t told me what treasures you’ve dug up. Are you just unlucky and haven’t found anything?"

"Sorry to disappoint, but I accidentally dug up another Reincarnation Grass."

Although Su Ran didn’t find a demon storage box, this piece of Reincarnation Grass was enough to one-up Banana.

"What? Another one? No way, I definitely need to dig up a...bundle!"

Banana was provoked by Su Ran, said nothing further, and buried himself in digging, with an intensity resembling fierce love.

The dense sound of mining filled the air once again, and the digging continued joyously.

Unknowingly, another twenty minutes passed.

"My dear nephews, come out quickly!"

As Su Ran and Banana were enthusiastically digging, they heard Uncle Yu’s voice nearby.

The voice, neither too far nor too close, was heard, but Uncle Yu’s figure was unseen.

"Damn, Uncle Yu broke through the bewildering formation!"

Banana scanned the surroundings vigilantly and spoke in a lowered voice, "Uncle Yu’s elusive; he might be hidden nearby!"

"Oh come on, it’s not that mystical; the voice is obviously from outside the mountain; he’s just calling out recklessly for no good reason. We’ve also dug so deep, we’ll end up digging through this Burial Hill!"

Su Ran glanced ahead; judging from the volume of the voice, they were just a few shovels away from digging through. Fortunately, Uncle Yu’s timely reminder prevented an embarrassing situation.

"Dig through? Jeez, how far have we dug in this time?"

Only then did Banana realize, turning his head in disbelief to gaze at the shrinking ghosts, "Concentrating on one task is fast in execution, and with a lack of awareness, we’ve dug this far!"

"This grave soil is easier to dig than stone; common sense doesn’t apply here. Come on, let’s change direction and keep digging without minding Uncle Yu!"

Su Ran turned and started digging in another direction, quicker than before, hoping to uncover more treasures before Uncle Yu could discover them. After all, the guy’s already by the grave, likely to spot them soon unless blind.

"Hey, wouldn’t it be great if we could dig a maze here? Even if Uncle Yu comes in, he’d get dizzy!"

Banana was cut off by Su Ran before he could finish.

"Come off it; digging a maze would take three to five days of effort. Do you think Uncle Yu has the patience to wait?"

Su Ran spoke with irritation, "Dig quickly, strive to dig more before Uncle Yu finds this place."

"Haha, even if we get caught this time, it’s worth it!"

Banana expressed great excitement, evident from his words. It appeared twenty-something minutes of digging had yielded him quite the haul.

"Keep it down!"

Su Ran was startled by Banana’s raised volume and quickly cautioned, "That loud noise could attract Uncle Yu’s attention!"

But.

Whatever is feared often comes to happen.

Su Ran’s words had barely been spoken, and before Banana could reply, the sound of rumbling emanated from the mountain wall.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Not good, flee!"

Su Ran realized that Banana’s voice must have reached Uncle Yu, his face changed drastically, and he dared not linger. He fled swiftly towards the exit, complaining along the way, "Banana, you’ve really gotten us into trouble!"

"How was I supposed to know this jerk’s hearing is so strong he can hear through soil layers? It’s unbelievable!"

Banana felt a pang of regret as he followed Su Ran closely, fearing Uncle Yu catching up.

"Boom!"

Before Su Ran and Banana could flee even ten meters, a rumbling noise echoed as the mountain wall collapsed, revealing Uncle Yu and Beast King Xisi.

"My dear nephews, so this is where you were hiding!"

Seeing Su Ran and Banana’s fleeing backs, Uncle Yu’s eyes sparkled; his intention was to chase them, but the hole was too small, and Beast King Xisi’s large frame couldn’t squeeze in.

"Incompetent creature!"

Uncle Yu scolded Beast King Xisi under his breath before storing him in a private pet space, then started chasing Su Ran, "My dear nephews, don’t rush off; I have questions!"

"Ask someone else; I’m not interested in dealing with you!"

Su Ran wouldn’t listen to Uncle Yu, suspecting he was definitely up to no good.

"I have a plan to deal with him!"

In the midst of escaping, Banana thought of a solution, glanced back at Uncle Yu to verify their distance, then whispered, "Use those ghosts against him, let’s see if he dares mess with us!"

"Those ghosts? Brilliant idea!"

Startled, Su Ran immediately understood, pulled out a box measuring about a meter square, and forcefully tossed it forward to block Uncle Yu’s path.

"My dear nephews, why do this? Running won’t solve the problem. Hand over the key, and you might be spared... Huh?"

As he pursued Su Ran, Uncle Yu noticed the big box flying toward him, landing with a spray of grave soil blocking his view. Curiously he stared at the box, calmly saying, "My dear nephews, don’t try to bribe me with irrelevant things; I only care about the key."

"The key is inside; look for yourself!"

Su Ran fled quickly after leaving this remark, fearing the ghosts might take an interest in him which would be troublesome.

"The key is inside?"

Half-doubting, Uncle Yu opened the box lid, stretched his neck to peer inside, but in that moment, an unexpected incident occurred.
