Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2181 - 1737: This Mission Is Unusual (Double-Length)

"Mm mm!"

The little zombie was uncomfortable due to Su Ran’s grip, displaying a wave of protest as it struggled to break free with its tiny hands, but could only let Su Ran have his way.

There was no help for it, especially since Su Ran didn’t have any flesh on him, so the pressure was naturally painful. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Little skeleton, have you found some kind of clue?"

Seeing Su Ran so excited, Ben Valley and Baji were even more puzzled, eager to know the answer.

"Yes, it was its doing."

Su Ran didn’t hide anything, bringing the little zombie, the hero of the hour, into the spotlight. "Boom boom has enchanted the golden ants and taken its followers away, it’s that simple."

"Enchanted? This little zombie... can actually control such a powerful creature?"

Baji could hardly believe it was true. The strength of the golden ants was clearly on a different level from this little zombie, yet it had been countered. The news was too outrageous to digest easily.

The little zombie raised its little head proudly, uttering a couple of "mm mm" sounds as if explaining to Baji that the credit was its own and couldn’t be taken by anyone else!

"Little skeleton, what rank is this zombie as a pet?"

Baji had already noticed the little zombie’s unusual nature. Ordinary zombies wouldn’t demonstrate such strong sentience—this pet was definitely not simple!

"Senior, you’re overthinking it. The little zombie is just a normal pet that got lucky, nothing more. Don’t take it seriously."

Su Ran spoke humbly, placed the little zombie aside, and continued to dig at the stone platform beneath his feet.

"Mm mm!"

The little zombie, dissatisfied with Su Ran’s explanation, hopped around restlessly, making constant "mm mm" sounds.

"Just a normal pet?"

Baji’s doubtful gaze fixed on the little zombie, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Why ask so many questions? As long as these ants don’t threaten us, isn’t that enough? What’s the use of so much talk?"

Seeing that Su Ran didn’t want to say more, Ben Valley didn’t insist either, choosing instead to help Su Ran smooth things over.

Without the threat from the ant swarm, Su Ran’s mood lightened considerably, and he swung his hoe with much less force. That’s the way it is with people—unless pushed to their limits, their potential is never fully tapped.

However, just as one wave settled, another arose. Before they could relax for long, danger descended once more.

Another golden ant refreshed in the sky, practically a carbon copy of the one before. With the naked eye, the two BOSSes were indistinguishable, obviously siblings without doubt.

The appearance of the golden ant made the atmosphere tense again. It summoned dozens of flying minions, who charged at the two NPCs below.

"Little skeleton, quickly, have your zombie make a move and control this ant too!"

Baji shouted urgently. In its current state, it was no match for the golden ant, hastily calling on Su Ran to quickly deploy the little zombie and repeat their prior success.

"Senior, the skill is still cooling down. Even if I wanted to use it, I couldn’t."

Su Ran was amused by this NPC. Everyone knew skills needed cooldowns, so even it had made this basic error—clearly, it had been thoroughly frightened by the golden ant.

Nevertheless, the appearance of this golden ant didn’t pose much trouble for Su Ran. He arranged for the little zombie to bring back the previously enchanted golden ant, initiating a fight with its kin.

The two ants were evenly matched, neither able to overpower the other. Without the BOSS’s directive, the summoned flying creatures lost their coordination and quickly fell upon the stone platform, the crisis temporarily averted.

"Little skeleton, the zombie’s control method isn’t as simple as you claim!"

Baji, with a serious expression, focused intently on the two golden ants. He hadn’t expected the golden ant to be controlled for so long without any loss of strength—this control skill was clearly not some commonplace technique!

"Senior, you’re overthinking it."

Su Ran grinned broadly, continuing to dig at the stone platform. Finally, persistence paid off. Through his relentless effort, the hidden teleportation array was revealed to their eyes.

The moment the array was uncovered, it opened the teleportation passage, emitting a faint white glow.

"Seniors, you go first, I’ll cover the rear!"

Su Ran said earnestly, stepping back onto the stone platform above, signaling for the two NPCs to leave quickly.

"Didn’t expect you to handle things so adeptly, not bad!"

Baji nodded appreciatively without further ado, jumping first into the pit and diving headfirst into the teleportation passage, successfully transporting out.

As for where he was transported to, Su Ran didn’t know.

"Little skeleton, don’t mind Baji. Ever since he became the Iron Cast Body, his personality’s changed quite a bit. But his nature is still decent. As long as you don’t offend him, everything’s fine."

Ben Valley cautioned Su Ran, worried about future interactions that might ruffle Baji’s feathers, which would put him, the mediator, in a difficult position.

"Senior, I understand. This was just an unexpected event. Words alone weren’t enough; I could only bring you here to prove my point."

Su Ran realized that earlier, they almost clashed with Iron Man Baji over the teleportation passage. But it was of no consequence; once they left the Ancient Wasteland, who knew when they’d meet this NPC again? However, something Ben Valley said piqued his curiosity, making him ask, "What does Iron Cast Body mean?"
