Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2161 - 1722: Bluffing

The time of a stick of incense burning is neither too long nor too short.

Under Su Ran’s full output, the time passed quickly, and before he realized it, the time for the incense stick was already up.

"Boom!"

The coffin lid burst open, and a blast of air surged out, flinging all the surrounding crocodiles away.

Immediately after, an iron man slowly rose from the coffin, overlooking the crocodiles below, a killing intent beginning to rise in his eyes.

Damn, isn’t this too exaggerated?

In just the time of a stick of incense, this guy seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, becoming much taller and more imposing. Even from a distance, one could feel a faint sense of pressure, making it hard to muster the thought of opposing him.

He originally thought the appearance of the iron man would result in an earth-shattering battle with the crocodile horde below, giving him a good show to watch. But unexpectedly, the entire group of crocodiles was chicken-hearted, completely losing their bravery to fight, and retreated one after another. The crocodile boss counted as the fastest, retreating back into the pool like the receding tide, utterly disgraceful.

"What a pity, they all got away."

Su Ran felt very regretful. In his view, those crocodiles were heaps of experience. Letting them escape was truly a pity, but he didn’t have the capability to capture them all, so he could only watch helplessly as they retreated back into the pool, completely at a loss.

"Senior, congratulations on completing the Soul Fusion, your strength has greatly increased, and you were able to repel the crocodile horde just with your aura!"

Faced with the mighty and imposing iron man, Su Ran immediately flattered him. In his view, when dealing with such NPCs, you have to say nice things to ensure no problems at all!

"Human, have you thought about how to explain yourself?"

The iron man flew to the same height as Su Ran, looking him dead in the eyes, waiting for his explanation.

Damn it!

So much time has passed, and you still remember this business?!

Isn’t this deliberately trying to make me look bad?!

"Senior, I don’t even know why I need to explain."

Su Ran was determined not to comply with the iron man’s wishes. He pondered for a moment, organized his words, and then said, "Didn’t I tell you before, this coffin was stolen by the crocodiles. Surely, you don’t suspect I had anything to do with it?"

"If it wasn’t for that posture of yours, I might have actually believed you."

The iron man showed no mercy, getting straight to the point.

"Senior, you must be mistaken. The reason I could take the coffin must be some trick by the crocodiles. They must have used some talisman or something, giving the coffin a special retrievable effect, which is why I had the chance to take it. If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself!"

"Talisman? Retrievable effect? Such wonders exist in this world?"

The iron man was conned by Su Ran. He had never heard of such a talisman. The world is vast and full of wonders; anything is possible. He couldn’t refute it, so he just retained his skepticism and walked over to the coffin, attempting to store it in his storage space.

Unfortunately, he failed.

"Huh?"

The iron man let out a soft sound, mimicked the posture, but the coffin didn’t budge at all.

Upon seeing this, Su Ran almost burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, his method of storing items was learned by the NPC, but unfortunately, it didn’t have the same broad hips as him. No matter how accurate the posture was, it was of no use.

"Human, what’s the meaning of this?"

The iron man tried several more times without any luck, realizing something was wrong. With a sullen face, he suspiciously asked, "Are you playing me?"

"How could I?!"

Su Ran immediately pleaded his case, "I don’t know what happened either. Maybe the retrieval effect on the coffin had a time limit. Look how coincidental this thing is!"

"Hmm, it is quite coincidental."

The iron man gave Su Ran a meaningful look but didn’t dwell on it too much. "Human, follow me. I’ll give you the Skill Book now."

Finally!

After years of waiting, the bride finally becomes a bride! This hasn’t been easy!

Su Ran had experienced numerous ups and downs waiting for this Skill Book, initially thinking it was a lost cause, but then hope was renewed.

"Senior, with all this going on, I almost forgot about the reward!"

He followed the iron man with a cheerful smile, speaking calmly, "I’m not in a hurry about this. You should stabilize your soul first, to prevent any lingering ailments."

"Hmm? So you’re saying I spoke out of turn?"

Having fully fused the soul, the iron man was no longer worried about death, and in a good mood, said with a half-smile, "Fine, I’ll meditate for a while and recuperate."

Upon hearing the words "for a while," Su Ran’s face instantly turned green.

At this moment, he truly wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to say so much? Now it’s going to be delayed again, and there’s no way he could endure that. He quickly tried to make amends: "Senior, I was just saying it offhand. Did you really take it seriously?"

"Why didn’t you say that earlier? Do you have to beat around the bush! You humans are so hypocritical!"

The iron man gave a cold laugh, said no more, and quickly moved forward.

Fine.

One stick knocked everyone down.

Fortunately, I’m not human, say whatever, throw mud at will!

"Senior, you’re leaving the coffin here?"

Su Ran curiously asked. In his view, this coffin should have been the iron man’s lifeline. Yet, strangely, the iron man just left it floating above the altar without a care. Not even worried that someone might think of stealing it!

As the saying goes, you’re not afraid of thieves stealing, you’re afraid of them thinking about it. At least Su Ran was considering it.

"Human, this coffin was never mine. I am just returning it to its owner."

The iron man pointed to the altar below and continued, "This altar and the floating coffin are a pair. I only used the coffin for the Soul Fusion. Now that my soul is fully integrated into my body, the coffin is of no use anymore."

"Senior, do you mean to abandon this coffin?"

Su Ran’s eyes lit up, eagerly awaiting the iron man’s reply. If the coffin was abandoned, he wouldn’t hesitate to take it. Even if the iron man found out, it wouldn’t matter, since he said it himself that he didn’t want it.

"Human, let me warn you, it’s best not to harbor any thoughts about the coffin. If it disappears, the altar’s backlash will be severe, you might end up losing your life here!"

"What? That serious?!"

Su Ran was startled, instantly abandoning the idea of taking the coffin, no longer daring to have thoughts about it.

Under the iron man’s lead, the two crossed a blood-red grassland. Not only was the grass blood-red, but the ground was red too, making Su Ran feel uneasy. However, with the iron man backing him up, what was there to fear? Even if the sky were falling, the iron man would bear it, leaving him free of worries, just following behind.

But, before they could leave the grassland, danger finally hit.
