Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 452 - 445: Something Amazing Has Exploded

"Crack!"

At the very instant when both Su Ran and the Dark Bone Bear grabbed the key, sudden cracks of about ten centimeters each sprung open on the ground on both sides. Green smoke wafted from the crevices, covering these two bold invaders.

"This smoke’s poisonous! The system’s too damn crafty!"

A moment of clarity followed by an enraged curse from Su Ran, his eyes filled with resentment. "Giving people two choices, and both are dead ends. If I hadn’t attacked from both sides, I wouldn’t have discovered the system’s deviousness!"

However, Su Ran, being a proficient and brave man, naturally didn’t fear the system’s foul play. He suddenly employed his Treading on Air Technique and hovered in mid-air, distancing himself from the poisonous smoke. After that, he pulled out the Ancient Relic from his waist, waiting for the smoke to come to him.

As for the Dark Bone Bear, Su Ran’s clone, he had long lost hope for it. After issuing a command for it to charge headlong, he stopped paying it any mind.

The poisonous smoke held a lethal attraction for the Ancient Relic, which naturally wouldn’t refuse what lay beneath it. The relic suddenly emitted an incredibly powerful suction force, swallowing the toxic smoke from the ground cracks completely.

When the poisonous smoke in the passage cleared, the barrier impeding Su Ran also vanished, allowing him to smoothly approach the golden treasure chest. As for the Blood-red Illusionary Lizard, Su Ran hadn’t found its figure yet and had no idea where the boss was hiding.

"Knowing the outcome now, it would have been better to choose the Truth Path. Now I have this bronze key, but I can’t open the golden chest in front of me. This is so frustrating!"

Su Ran looked at the bronze key in his hand, and then at the golden treasure chest in front of him, lost for words. He felt he had fallen into the system’s trap which was currently taunting him for his ignorance.

However, what’s done was done and being angry was useless. Su Ran brushed off the negative emotions and headed towards his Dark Bone Bear clone, hoping that he could get the golden key from it. According to him, a lot of secrets were hidden inside the golden chest, including clues for the mission, information about the Dream Searching Mirror, and of course, some top-notch treasures.

However, just then, an unexpected situation emerged. A black arrow accompanied by a harsh wind was shot towards him. Always on his guard, Su Ran felt something wrong from behind. He swiftly leaped up, rising into the mid-air, narrowly dodging the attack.

Su Ran turned to look and found a blood-red lizard swaying its massive tail and advancing in his direction.

"Hey, Blood-red Illusionary Lizard, you finally decided to show up?!"

This time, instead of using the Heavenly Thunder Bead to strike it, Su Ran took out his revolutionary artifact, burning paper. Throwing burning paper didn’t need any skill cooling time so it was faster than using the thunder attack.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The burning papers hurled by Su Ran were like death notes from the Grim Reaper. They tore through the air and turned into explosive fireballs rushing towards the crawling Blood-red Illusionary Lizard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"-415" "-415" "-415"

The fireballs enveloped in black flames ruthlessly crashed on the Blood-red Illusionary Lizard. After three successive explosions, the flames splashed, hitting the lizard and throwing it several steps back.

"Huh? It’s still alive!"

Su Ran knew that the lizard had already lost a large amount of Qi Blood at level one. It had lost 1200 blood points just now but still looked lively, which clearly showed that this cunning lizard had already fully recovered.

"So what? It’s nothing to worry about!"

Su Ran stood high in the air, looking down at the Blood-red Illusionary Lizard continuously spitting venomous arrows towards him. He swiftly released another burning paper.

The lizard, having learned from its previous mistake, wouldn’t let itself be hit by Su Ran’s burning papers again. It swiftly charged forward, barely dodging Su Ran’s burning paper attack.

However,

Su Ran’s purple flame was already waiting for it. As the lizard charged forward, Su Ran diligently seized the opportunity and forcefully threw his flame towards the lizard’s inevitable path.

"Boom!" freeweɓnovel.cøm

A purple flame exploded, mounting into the skies. The Blood-red Illusionary Lizard, having no time to evade, plunged headfirst into the pillar of fire radiating a terrifying temperature. Under the scorching flames, the lizard couldn’t bear the bone-melting pain. It struggled and screamed, desperately trying to escape the Netherworld Purple Fire that was like a swamp.

Seeing this, Su Ran wouldn’t pass up on such an opportune moment. He loved beating down on a trapped enemy. He continuously threw out burning papers, targeting the Blood-red Illusionary Lizard struggling within the column of fire.

After suffering consecutive fire damage from the Netherworld Purple Fire, the Blood-red Illusionary Lizard couldn’t withstand the power of the burning papers. Under Su Ran’s relentless assault, it let out a mournful shriek, drained of all energy, burned into a pile of ashes by the Netherworld Purple Fire.

"Haha, it dropped equipment!"

Under the pile of ashes, Su Ran surprisingly found a piece of talisman paper and a spherical stone. This delighted him. He excitedly thought, as expected, the drop rate was high for boss monsters! Without waiting for the Netherworld Purple Fire to disappear, relying on the fact that the purple fire wouldn’t harm him, he eagerly dashed into the flames and picked up the two items. Not waiting a moment more, he whisked out of the area covered by Netherworld Purple Fire, wiping off his sweat in relief.

He had no choice. Even though the Netherworld Purple Fire couldn’t harm him, the scorching temperature was hard to tolerate. Su Ran felt he didn’t want to stay in the flame pillar even for a second. He could only imagine the pain the Blood-red Illusionary Lizard endured before it died.

Without any hesitation, Su Ran analyzed the two items one by one.

[Illusion Stone]

Crush it to randomly transform into something else. After transformation, Agility -100% for 5 minutes, transformation effect disappears after attack. During this time, if a sneak attack is successful, damage +50%. If the attack is blocked, self-paralysis for 10 seconds, unable to move.

Looking at the stone, Su Ran felt a mixed combination of feelings. It was clearly a double-edged sword—useful in the right hands and deadly if not used correctly. He put the stone into his bladder and moved his attention to the talisman paper in his hand. His instincts told him it was a treasure.

[Barrier-breaking Talisman] (Talisman Scroll)

Eliminates all barriers, disappears after use.

Note: Can only be used during this mission, cannot be taken out of the mission space.

"Barrier-breaking Talisman?"

Su Ran’s face showed delight followed by regret. He realized he had misunderstood the mastermind behind this quest. The quest indeed left a ray of hope, but unfortunately, he hadn’t seized it and let the lizard boss escape in the previous level. This resulted in his passive position in the later part. If he hadn’t had Ancient Relic, an excellent tool to deal with the poison smoke, he’d already be stuck in the passage. With these thoughts in mind, he couldn’t help but feel relieved.
