Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2159 - 1720: Causing Trouble

"Splash, splash~!"

The weight of the Crocodile Boss was so heavy that it churned the pool water into tumultuous currents, even affecting the Darknight Thunder Dragon and reducing its speed somewhat.

But Su Ran was different. With the underwater weapon Ice Orb in his possession, this water turbulence had no impact on him whatsoever, allowing him to escape the pool with significant advantage and return to the shore.

Only when his feet touched the ground did he feel relieved. He immediately recalled Wang Cai and summoned the shield skeletons, attempting to use them to hold the Crocodile Boss at bay, hoping to buy precious preparation time, even if just for a second.

However.

The scene Su Ran was hoping for did not occur; instead, explosions could be heard coming from the pool, sending large splashes everywhere.

"Not good, the Thunder Dragon isn’t out yet!"

It was then Su Ran realized that, in his rush to escape, he had left the Darknight Thunder Dragon behind. If it were to get killed because of this, that would be utterly humiliating!

Thinking of this, Su Ran hesitated no longer, moved to the other side of the pool, and jumped down again.

As soon as he entered the water, Su Ran saw the scene of the Darknight Thunder Dragon fiercely battling the crocodile. In the current situation, the Darknight Thunder Dragon wasn’t showing any significant disadvantage; after all, it had domain skills and couldn’t be defeated quickly.

Under the effect of the dark domain, the Crocodile Boss was like a blind creature, rampaging through the pool, giving the Darknight Thunder Dragon opportunities to strike.

The Thunder Dragon showed no mercy, directly hurling a Dark Thunder Ball right at the crocodile’s head, unleashing a fairly potent thunder-type damage, reducing the Boss’s health significantly.

Enraged at the challenge to its boss authority from this eel-like creature, the crocodile’s speed increased again, becoming even more aggressive during the collision. Yet, despite its efforts, it couldn’t break free from the constraints of the dark domain, having all the strength but nowhere to unleash it—what a frustrating feeling.

Moreover, the Darknight Thunder Dragon used its specialty move, Thunderous Nine Heavens. Wild Thunder rampaged in the pool, augmented by the water element, significantly boosting its power. The attack paralyzed the crocodile on the spot, rendering it immobile.

The Thunder Dragon intended to charge forward and use its breath skill, but Su Ran stopped it.

What a joke! This Crocodile Boss clearly specialized in melee combat, and with the Thunder Dragon’s little stature, engaging it closely would be asking for trouble.

This momentary hesitation caused the freshly built advantage to vanish instantly. How could Su Ran watch the Thunder Dragon make a mistake? He immediately recalled it into the pet space, ready to flee the area.

But at this moment, a surprising scene unfolded for Su Ran.

The crocodile didn’t chase him but instead dropped to the bottom of the pool and targeted the Pet Eggs, clawing and biting, destroying over half of them, leaving egg shells scattered everywhere.

"Whoa, what’s happening here?"

Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its offspring, so why would this crocodile attack these Pet Eggs? Gone crazy?

Su Ran was a bit bewildered and couldn’t fathom the crocodile’s intent, nor was it under the confusion status, yet it acted to cut off its own lineage without any Boss protection awareness!

But the next scene was beyond Su Ran’s expectations and also solved his inner confusion.

After the Pet Eggs shattered, numerous small crocodiles emerged, rapidly growing upon birth as if they’d consumed a special enlarging agent, quickly stretching to over two meters in length in less than ten seconds. The pool bottom was swarming with crocodiles, alerting Su Ran to danger, leaving no room for hesitation as he swam furiously towards the shore.

Fortunately, with the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe in hand, no matter how complex the water terrain, it posed no challenge to him. He broke through the water surface smoothly, escaping back to the shore.

Now, just waiting for the Boss’s appearance!

Su Ran stood in mid-air, looking down at the now turbid pool below, ready for a major battle.

He believed that creatures like crocodiles shouldn’t have flying ability; as long as he stayed airborne, he could remain unbeaten. With three days left, he’d surely wear it down!

"Boom!"

The water exploded as the Crocodile Boss led its minions ashore, marching ahead in a grand procession.

It’s out!

Su Ran felt a thrill, planning to lure these crocodiles far away before attacking, lest they retreat into the pool again, laboriously killing them for half a day only to have nothing to show!

"Huh?"

But to Su Ran’s surprise, the crocodiles weren’t focused on him; their direction was aimed at the altar!

"No! Trouble!"

Only now did Su Ran realize the gravity of the situation. What he thought could alleviate boredom with these monsters turned into this circumstance. The ironman on the altar attracted absolute hatred from the crocodile horde!

"Damn, I can’t let these crocodiles approach the altar!"

Su Ran was anxious, not thinking of holding back, directly using the Netherworld Purple Fire to encage the Crocodile Boss within.

But it’s far more complicated than Su Ran imagined; even though the Boss was under attack, the crocodile minions acted as if nothing was seen, completely unaffected, continuing towards the altar.

"..."

Seeing this, Su Ran realized that relying on one’s power alone couldn’t turn the tide.

The crocodile hatred value remained unaltered; even if he wanted to intercept, he couldn’t manage against the overwhelming numbers, helplessly watching as the crocodile group surrounded the altar, interrupting the ironman’s Soul Fusion state. This almost seemed inevitable, beyond Su Ran’s control.

A deep sense of helplessness surged from the bottom of Su Ran’s heart, deflating him instantly.

Ignoring the Crocodile Boss trapped in Purple Fire, he rushed towards the altar direction. The situation hadn’t worsened to the extreme yet; he needed to rescue the ironman before the crocodile mob arrived!

Though this might also put him in danger, there’s no choice. The ironman still owed him a General Skills book, yet to be given. If that guy perished, who would he ask for the skill book?

Being in debt makes one a master; Su Ran deeply understood this principle now. Frustrated, he’d have to accept it.

The crucial aspect was, since he inadvertently created these crocodiles, morally and logically, he couldn’t be just a bystander. Regardless of circumstances, he must awaken the ironman first!

"Senior, senior!"

Capitalizing on his flying advantage, Su Ran arrived at the altar first, preparing for the worst-case scenario. If the ironman couldn’t be woken by calling, he’d wake him by kicking!

But embarrassingly, as he extended his foot, the ironman opened his eyes.

"Human, what do you intend to do?!"
