Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2321 - 1808: Spirit-Severing Wood (Double - )_2
"No, we need to figure out this well first!"
Carving Dragon pulled back his thoughts and focused his attention on the deep ancient well in front of him, his expression serious.
More than ten subordinates had gone down, and not a single one made it out alive. This made him feel uneasy, yet he couldn’t find any breakthrough, leaving him extremely troubled.
...
"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, I want to see how long you can keep causing trouble!"
President Zhi Yuan also found a strange spot, a rectangular pit. Any players approaching it would lose control and attack their teammates, even affecting those in the air, forcing him to take it seriously.
The value of this pit was far above that of Overturning Water. He was already mentally prepared and wouldn’t leave until he resolved this pit.
On Stone Bear’s side, under his control, the situation stabilized, with signs of a counterattack. In contrast, the Tiger Supreme Guild was falling apart like scattered sands after losing Withered Fish’s leadership. The initial momentum was gone, their aggression naturally diminished, and with this ebb and flow, the situation quickly reversed. It wouldn’t be long before they were forced to retreat.
"Brothers, kill them for me!"
"What’s so great about Tiger Supreme? When they see our Thunder Pavilion, even a tiger has to lie down!"
"Want to avenge Withered Fish? Maybe in your next life!"
"Hahaha, Withered Fish has turned into a dead fish, soon your tigers will turn into dead tigers!"
Once Thunder Pavilion players took control of the situation, they kept casting mocking words to further break these players’ spirits and end this battle sooner.
Tiger Supreme’s team suffered terribly, only holding on for a short while before their formation was disrupted and they fled in all directions.
"Hahaha, this is the most fun I’ve ever had! Brothers, charge, leave no one alive!"
"I’ve had it with Tiger Supreme for a while now, it’s time to crush their arrogance!"
"Let’s see who kills the most! Snatch the heads!"
Under Thunder Pavilion’s massacre, Tiger Supreme’s forces were utterly routed, with most of their men dead or injured.
"Stone Bear boss, do we give chase?"
"No need, just these hundred or so people are nothing to worry about."
Stone Bear didn’t think much of these remnants. He weighed the Cursed Wood in his hand and said, "You all stay here, I’m going to deal with that withered tree. Once I let you act, then move; don’t mess up my plans!"
After speaking, Stone Bear didn’t say anything more. He took a deep breath and strode towards the withered tree.
"Stone Bear boss, is that broken piece of wood reliable?"
"Don’t show off unnecessarily, none of the brothers will laugh at you!"
"If it doesn’t work, boss, just leave some final words, I’ll take care of your wife and kids, haha!"
"Get lost!"
Stone Bear glared at the players behind him and continued walking towards the withered tree.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Once Stone Bear was within attacking range, the branches of the withered tree shot out, aiming to entwine and kill him, leaving no room for survival.
"Stone Bear boss, be careful!"
"It’s over! We’ll have to collect his corpse!"
"Hey? Look, everyone!"
Just as the players were speaking gloomily, something unexpected happened.
The piece of wood in Stone Bear’s hand floated in front of his forehead, forming a verdant green barrier that reflected all the branches back.
"Wow, that’s awesome!"
"Stone Bear boss, this Cursed Wood really restrains that withered tree, you gambled right!"
"Hahaha, now there’s no worry about failing the task, that Divine Secret Elixir is destined to belong to our Thunder Pavilion!"
The players cheered excitedly, beyond thrilled.
"Of course, just look at who I am!"
Stone Bear was immensely proud. With the protection of the Cursed Wood, his confidence soared. He walked up to the withered tree with his head held high and pulled out the Mountain Splitting Axe, chopping at the withered branches with one swing.
"Crack."
Under the influence of the Cursed Wood, these impervious withered branches withered and broke, being chopped into pieces by the Mountain Splitting Axe on the spot.
"There’s hope!"
Seeing the Mountain Splitting Axe was effective, Stone Bear rejoiced internally. Hastily, he continued chopping, quickly clearing away the withered branches.
"Hahaha, the coffin is mine!"
Stone Bear looked feverishly at the blood-red coffin. Carefully, he glanced around, found no potential danger, and confidently pried the coffin out.
But.
An unforeseen scene unfolded.
The coffin emitted a blood-colored glow. The Cursed Wood, which should have been floating before Stone Bear’s forehead, seemed summoned, breaking its connection with Stone Bear and autonomously flying onto the coffin, merging into it.
Immediately, the coffin’s surface’s blood-colored glow vanished, turning into an ordinary-looking coffin, with no discernible aura.
"Hahaha, now I want to see what treasures are inside the coffin!"
Though Stone Bear lost the Cursed Wood, he gained this mysterious coffin. Overjoyed, he reached out to touch the coffin, but before he could, another surprise occurred.
"Whish!"
The coffin soared into the sky as if equipped with a rocket, quickly disappearing from sight.
"What the hell is going on?"
Stone Bear couldn’t believe his eyes, momentarily dumbfounded. All his efforts seemed to have benefitted someone else instead. How could he stand this humiliation? He shouted loudly, "Chase, chase, shoot that coffin down for me!"
"Stone Bear boss, how did you let the duck at your mouth fly away like that?"
"People lose ducks, Stone Bear boss loses coffins!"
The players looked at Stone Bear with strange expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to, for fear that Stone Bear would take out his frustration on them with a beating.
"And at a time like this, you still make snide remarks? Hurry up! Don’t let that coffin escape!"
Stone Bear didn’t have time to argue with the players, and immediately pursued in the coffin’s flying direction. Others followed suit, and soon they were all gone, leaving behind only a desolate tree trunk to witness the world’s desolation.
...
"Damn, I really don’t believe I’m defeated by this, just a rectangular pit, how could it possibly stump me?!"
Zhi Yuan’s group surrounded the rectangular pit, not daring to come close for fear of losing their minds. Although he pondered for a long time, no solution emerged, so he resorted to brute force, instructing the mage group to bombard it. Even if they severed the potential, it didn’t matter; at least they wouldn’t waste any more time on it.
"Move!"
Under Zhi Yuan’s command, over three hundred mages gathered and launched a fierce attack on the pit, filling it with fireballs and ice arrows, turning the rectangle into a circle.
"President Zhi Yuan, is this good enough? If we keep going, it won’t even be a circle anymore!"
"Seriously, your OCD is acting up?"
Zhi Yuan glanced at the mage and pointed at the circular pit, "Go, go try it out. If the magic array’s destroyed, then we can stop."
"Well..."
The mage steeled himself, then said, "Alright, I’ll go check it out. President, wait for my good news!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the mage resolutely walked towards the pit. However, when he reached five meters away, he trembled and collapsed straight to the ground.
"What the heck, what happened? Is he possessed?"
Zhi Yuan couldn’t comprehend why the mage fainted. The magic array there only had a confounding effect, and had never caused something like this, making it quite peculiar.
"Could it be..."
After waiting a moment without the mage regaining consciousness, Zhi Yuan furrowed his brow and muttered to himself, "Is there a dead array within this formation?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
As he was lost in thought, a coffin descended from the sky, crashing into the circular pit, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.
"Did the system get an update? Death now comes with a coffin? This service is quite attentive!"
"..."
