Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2300 - 1798: Battle with Ghostfire (Double-Length)

"Little student sister!"

Seeing that Creamy Junior was in trouble, Su Ran couldn’t think twice and jumped down decisively, trying to rescue her.

"Another idiot fell in, huh? Coming to this tomb without checking the strategy in advance, bet they’re regretting it now."

"Haha, isn’t this better? No one’s here to compete with us for the boss or treasure, just us alone!"

The group of players who just entered the passage heard Creamy Junior’s scream. They’ve seen such things many times and didn’t find it strange. After a few mocking remarks, they rushed into the third layer of space.

"Ouch..."

Creamy Junior fell on the ground, got poked by something hard, and couldn’t help but let out a painful cry. Instinctively, she picked up the hard object to take a look, and her face turned pale with fright. She threw it away with a scream, "A skull!!!"

"What?"

Su Ran landed easily on the ground, but unexpectedly slipped and almost twisted his waist. Luckily, he was sturdy and managed to stabilize himself. He looked down and found countless skulls grinning up at him.

"Whoa, where did all these skulls come from?"

Su Ran was startled and leaped back in a panic, putting some distance between him and the pile of skulls. Looking around, he saw a ground covered with countless grim skulls.

"Overturning Water, come pull... pull me up..."

Creamy Junior was so frightened that she didn’t dare open her eyes, appearing helpless and vulnerable, her face filled with fear, seemingly on the brink of collapsing.

"Little student sister, be brave, it’s just a game. Summon the Firebird and fly up."

Su Ran shook his head with amusement, descending from above to help her up. "Earlier, you said you weren’t afraid. Now, you can’t even stand?"

"I’m already like this, and you’re still making fun of me. You’re so annoying!"

Creamy Junior’s face was flushed, and even her ears turned red, though it wasn’t clear if it was from fright or embarrassment.

She gathered her courage and summoned the Firebird, lying on its back. Only when the pet took off did her face regain some normalcy.

"Little student sister, if you’re not scared of me, this living skeleton, why be afraid of these skulls?"

Su Ran had adapted to the environment below, carefully observing the surroundings to identify any potential dangers.

"What is that?!"

Su Ran unexpectedly discovered three gray flames floating ahead, flickering up and down like ghostly fires, incredibly peculiar.

"Overturning Water, where did we fall? A graveyard? There’s even ghost fire. If some scary background music starts playing, I’d probably get a heart attack..."

Creamy Junior couldn’t help complaining, easing her fear. After a pause, she added, "With so many players behind us, why did just the two of us fall? Isn’t that strange?"

"Correction, you fell. I just came to rescue you. Just because you didn’t see the giant hole doesn’t mean others didn’t. It’s normal for just us to fall here; they have no time for this commotion."

Su Ran shook his head helplessly and reminded her, "Little student sister, if I’m not mistaken, we’re probably in a dead end, or else they would’ve come down early. We’d better be mentally prepared so we don’t carelessly lose our lives here."

"Huh? No way? Overturning Water, don’t scare me like this, I’m even more terrified now!"

Creamy Junior’s expression turned a bit awkward, instinctively asking, "These skulls... they aren’t from dead players, are they?"

"Little student sister, your imagination is something else. Don’t player corpses refresh after death? These many skulls would take decades or even centuries to accumulate. This game only launched two years ago, is it possible? As I see it, these are just decorations with nothing to do with players."

Su Ran once mistook corpsey remains in a watery part of the tomb for dead players, which he chose to forget. Pointing to the three gray ghost fires, he said gravely, "I feel these ghost fires are the key to getting out of this space and unraveling the secret of these skulls."

"You mean..."

"I plan to try attacking those ghost fires. Even if it doesn’t work, there’s nothing to lose."

Su Ran revealed his plan, then summoned Shield Warrior Skeleton, Iron-blood Sand Puppet, Darknight Thunder Dragon, Wang Cai, and Little Zombie, setting up a defensive formation. He felt more at ease, believing they could withstand any danger.

"Go on, I support you spiritually."

Creamy Junior didn’t dare to attack the ghost fires, keeping a distance to avoid contamination. She didn’t want nightmares...

"Whizz whizz whizz!"

Calming himself, Su Ran used his signature Fireball Technique on the ghost fires, launching several fireballs at the central flame, anticipating the ghost fire’s explosion before his eyes.

Yet.

An unexpected situation arose.

The fireballs had no effect, not even a spark, and were swallowed by the ghost fire.

"What’s going on?"

Su Ran was bewildered. He had imagined several scenarios but never anticipated this. The seemingly fragile ghost fire could actually devour magic spells – how astonishing!
