Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2323 - 1809: Stone Bear Falls into the Trap (Double-Length)
However.
An unexpected scene unfolded for Stone Bear.
"Everyone fall back, clear a path, let them take whatever they want!"
Contrary to Stone Bear’s expectations, President Zhi Yuan not only chose not to engage in a fight but also opened a path, which greatly surprised Stone Bear.
Could it be...
This guy has chickened out?
Is he planning to conserve his forces to deal with Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained?
It shouldn’t be...
Why worry so much? As long as the situation benefits me, that’s all that matters. Let’s get the coffin first!
Under Stone Bear’s command, the formation of Thunder Pavilion’s players transformed into a sharp knife shape, piercing through the path they had been given and heading straight for the coffin in the round pit.
President Zhi Yuan watched coldly, allowing Stone Bear’s team to approach the round pit, revealing a barely noticeable smile.
"Hahaha, President Zhi Yuan, I won’t stand on ceremony with you then. Once I get the coffin, I owe you a big favor!"
As Stone Bear got closer to the coffin and saw no sign of aggression from Righteous and Indomitable’s people, he shouted excitedly, intending to stabilize these people. Once he got the coffin, he wouldn’t be afraid to turn against them!
"You owe me a favor? Let’s talk about it when you manage to survive!"
President Zhi Yuan assumed a spectator’s stance, eager to see them make fools of themselves.
Indeed.
After reaching the round pit, Stone Bear and his team immediately fell into a hypnotic state, turning into mindless monsters attacking anyone they saw. The forces of Thunder Pavilion were engulfed in a frenzy, even Stone Bear couldn’t escape this fate, his Mountain Splitting Axe stained with his comrades’ blood.
"Tsk tsk, this formation is indeed powerful, it seems there’s no limit to the number of people it can affect!"
President Zhi Yuan looked on with a lingering fear. He had been contemplating breaking the formation with sheer numbers, but Stone Bear’s arrival had fortunately dispelled such a ridiculous notion.
"President Zhi Yuan, should we send them on their way?"
"President, I agree! This opportunity is too good to miss; it’s the perfect time to strike!"
"Let them know the consequences of opposing Righteous and Indomitable!"
"No, we mustn’t."
President Zhi Yuan didn’t let his subordinates sway him. After a moment’s thought, he said, "This island is fraught with danger, we need to conserve our strength, otherwise it will benefit Carving Dragon and that Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained!"
...
"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained!"
"Great Overturning Water, please come down, there’s something important we must discuss!"
Su Ran was searching the island for another Inlaid Coffin Dead Tree when the call from below caught his attention.
He carefully tried to recognize the face of the person, but they were too unfamiliar for him to recall where he had met them before.
"Great Overturning Water, I mean no harm. I have something important to discuss with you!"
The player saw that Su Ran had no intention of coming down and urgently said, "It’s about the secret of that dead tree, aren’t you curious?"
"What?"
Su Ran was taken aback and then fell downwards, sitting on a tree branch, curiously asking, "Have I met you before?"
"Great Overturning Water, you’ve truly forgotten the little people. We’ve crossed paths several times, and I even died by your hand once, losing a level!"
"There are quite a few who died by my hand, I honestly don’t remember you."
Su Ran felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, he had caused this guy to lose a level, which was no ordinary grudge. As for why this person wanted to share the secret of the dead tree, he really couldn’t guess the motive.
"It’s understandable, who would remember just a pawn like me?"
The player gave a bitter smile, "I’m a member of the Tiger Supreme guild. Our leader Withered Fish was killed by that bastard Stone Bear. Most of our people have died. It’s pointless for me to stay here, so I might as well help you. If you can ultimately acquire the Heavenly Spirit Liquid, it would be like avenging us!"
"So that’s how it is. I really didn’t expect your Tiger Supreme guild would be eliminated so quickly. That’s good... cough, I mean, that’s a pity."
Su Ran almost let it slip in his excitement but quickly changed the subject, "How do you plan to help me? What’s the secret of this ancient tree?"
He was eager to know the answer. The dead tree was like iron, with defenses so strong that it left him in despair. Since this guy wanted to reveal the truth, he was all ears.
"This dead tree is a special entity, immune to any attacks. Leader Withered Fish possessed the Spirit Severing Wood, which could counter the dead tree. However, before he could even approach it, he fell into Stone Bear’s trap and was killed on the spot."
The more the player spoke, the more agitated he became, his tone becoming very impatient, "We wanted to avenge Leader Withered Fish, but unfortunately, we were no match for that bastard Stone Bear and were beaten senseless. It’s infuriating!"
"The Spirit Severing Wood... So the Spirit Severing Wood was with your Leader Withered Fish, which means it’s now in Stone Bear’s possession."
Su Ran’s eyes lit up. No wonder the dead tree was impervious to blades and spears; it required the Spirit Severing Wood to counter it. This means that his Cursed Ghost Corpse and Blazing Bronze Stove might also have their uses, not just for dealing with the boss!
"Great Overturning Water, I’ve placed my bet on you; don’t let us down!"
"I’ll do my best."
Su Ran didn’t dare make any promises. After all, he was alone, and even with his pet troops, their numbers were nothing compared to the three major forces. If he managed to turn them against each other, then he might stand a chance.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Before Su Ran could say more, he heard dozens of sharp tearing sounds coming from behind.
"So they finally came!"
Su Ran had been on guard during his interaction with the player. Given the enmity between him and the Tiger Supreme guild, these people couldn’t possibly be approaching with good intentions. Even with Withered Fish dead, it wouldn’t awaken their conscience. The only possibility was that they wanted to use the dead tree as bait to ambush him!
If he had been naive, he might have fallen for their ambush. Luckily, he was mentally prepared. Before the ambush reached him, he used the Treading on Air Technique to easily escape into the sky, distancing himself from the player.
"Damn it, he still managed to get away!"
"This Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained is really tough to deal with!"
"I told you not to get complacent, but you wouldn’t listen. Now look, just wait for Great Overturning Water’s retaliation!"
The player who spoke to Su Ran didn’t support their ambush plan. Unfortunately, he couldn’t convince his teammates and had to go along with them.
"What’s there to be scared of? Even if we’re in dire straits, there are still a hundred or so of us. Are we really afraid of just one person?!"
"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, come down here if you have the guts and fight us to the death!"
This group of players was already at their wit’s end. The task couldn’t be completed, but killing Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained still held some hope. Once they killed him, they could collect the bounty, and enjoy the spoils!
"I’m sorry, I have everything except guts. Sorry to disappoint you."
Su Ran grinned and decided not to be polite. First, he threw a purple flame, transforming it into a blazing pillar of fire that trapped more than twenty mage players.
He didn’t give them a chance to escape. The Flame Meteor materialized and slammed into the fire pillar, causing cries of pain to echo.
"Not dead yet? Here we go again!"
Su Ran used the Time Rewind skill, and the meteor descended once more, targeting the group of mage players trapped in the fire pillar. These guys couldn’t withstand the successive fierce assaults, their health depleting completely, leaving behind corpses that struck the ground.
"Whoa, that’s brutal?!"
"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, just because you have a few mass attacks doesn’t mean you can act arrogantly. Come down and fight one-on-one if you have the guts!"
Even though anxiety was in their hearts, the players put up a brave front, cursing and shouting incessantly, hoping to provoke Su Ran to come down.
This was their only chance. If he didn’t fall for it, they’d have no choice but to escape.
"Fight you one-on-one? It’s not impossible, but you’ll have to ask my pets first!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Su Ran grinned, summoning his army of pets. With the field skills of the Darknight Thunder Dragon and Ancient Poisonous Dragon, they quickly massacred the group, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
After repelling these players, Su Ran returned to the direction of the dead tree, striding forward. He wanted to see what treasure lay hidden inside the coffin embedded in the tree!
