Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 458 - 450: Open the Coffin to See the Corpse

"If the Dark Races are immune, what’s there to fear?!"

Su Ran also started pulling off the nails and in a short while, the Ghost Imprint Evil Nails were cleanly removed by him and his avatar. Unfortunately for Su Ran, these blood nails turned into red dust as soon as they left the black coffin, reacting as if to the air, and slid off his fingertips to the ground.

"Such a pity, if I could keep these nails, they’d be great for scheming. I wonder what the curse does. Too bad they’re single-use."

Disappointed, Su Ran looked at the mysterious black coffin ahead. After some thought, he retreated a few steps and summoned the Undead Skeleton.

Suddenly,

The moist and loose ground beneath his feet split, and ten small skeletons crawled up from under the ground. Arriving in this small space, the skeletons seemed a tad crowded.

"Nice! Ten small skeletons definitely make a better impression than a level 2 Summon Undead!"

Su Ran nodded contently, feeling his morale soar. He then commanded the ten small skeletons to form a circle around the coffin, ready to attack in case of unexpected situations.

With all his arrangements done, he ordered his avatar, Bone Bear, to open the coffin lid.

"Bang!"

At the moment Bone Bear opened the lid, a tremendous force emerged from the coffin, throwing the lid off and sending Bone Bear crashing into the wall with it.

"Boss incoming!"

Seeing this sudden outbreak, Su Ran knew. The coffin had reanimated.

Suddenly.

A dark red smoke rose from the coffin, clustered at the entrance, swirling yet not dispersing. The light was blocked, rendering the tomb pitch-black once again.

"Hates the light."

A frail and husky voice came from the coffin, echoing in the enclosed space.

Taken aback, Su Ran thought,

Damn, dug up an old monster!

In his memory, the ones who could talk were usually too strong for him to handle, creatures like the scoundrel Yin Si, and Ghost Officer were like this.

But, Su Ran firmly believed that as a level 20 hidden task, the system wouldn’t have been so ruthless. The previous stages were already insane enough: monster attacks, poisonous fog, silver bosses; each was.. dangerous to the extreme! It was quite an achievement to even make it this far!

While Su Ran was considering this, the coffin echoed again with a voice one couldn’t ignore.

"Outsider, help me up. Lying for so many years, I can’t even move my legs."

Su Ran immediately broke into a sweat. He quickly paced forward to help the dried corpse in the coffin up. Upon closer inspection, Su Ran realized this corpse resembled a dried chicken, merely skin and bones left. His ancient robe was crumpled and outdated, but the material had held up, not decomposed even after so much time.

However, Su Ran knew better than to underestimate this kind of boss. He couldn’t be thinking about killing the boss for equipment.

"Elder, you must be tired. Sit back and rest."

"Ah, good, good. Young ones with respect like you are rare. Step back."

The dried corpse craned its rigid neck to look at the summoned skeletons and Bone Bear surrounding him and said to Su Ran in the front: "I slept too long, my neck feels a bit stiff."

Su Ran made a few clattering noises, but didn’t respond.

Man, he’s been dead for this many years. Is it necessary to be so cold?

"Young skeleton, what time is it?"

The dried corpse was flexing his neck as he asked Su Ran.

"One p.m."

Su Ran answered truthfully, not understanding what this dried corpse was up to.

"Hm, it’s nap time again."

"..."

Su Ran fell silent, suddenly wanting to stuff this old creature back into the coffin, dig a hole, and bury it right then and there to avoid looking at it!

"Never mind, young skeleton, since you came here, it means we are fated."

The dried corpse nodded at Su Ran stiffly, his gaze filled with depth.

"Kid, no need to say your purpose. I know, you came for the Dream Searching Mirror, right?"

Su Ran neither affirmed nor denied, silently waiting for the dried corpse to continue.

"No need to be so wary. There’s nothing to hide. You should know the value of the Dream Searching Mirror. It’s a legendary item capable of causing tremors across the God-Demon Continent. Should it appear, few people would not be tempted. However,"

The dried corpse appeared to recall something, his eyes brimmed with bloodthirsty madness before disappearing. He then solemnly advised Su Ran, "Kid, I like you. Let me give you some advice today. Best not to touch this thing!"

Su Ran was taken aback. Even Daoist Wang had cautioned him. He had to admit, this dried corpse, was pretty decent!

"Elder, I’m but a small undead. I’ve never dreamt of getting legendary items. I also know, this thing is hot to handle. It could potentially bring me disasters. I have at least that much awareness."

Su Ran said this respectfully, his skeletal figure upright.

"Good, I’m glad you understand. As long as you stick to your own path, you will definitely avoid unnecessary trouble in the future."

The dried corpse acknowledged Su Ran with a nod of his stiff skull and sighed: "If only I had your insight back in the day, I wouldn’t have ended up in this state. Forget it, it’s all in the past, but to be stewing in it would be downright ridiculous."

Su Ran found this dried corpse rather pathetic. It had devoted a lifetime for an unusable Dream Searching Mirror, only to end unhappily with its life sealed in this black coffin.

"Young skeleton, I was fortunate to have found an ancient treasure map. It led me to this secret realm."

The dried corpse narrated his past to Su Ran: "Back in my days, I was at the peak of life. Status, wealth, strength, I had everything, nothing left to chase. I arrogantly went to this hidden realm alone."

"Who could’ve thought it’d be a huge trap. My arrogance had clouded my judgment. Why didn’t I consider the fact that a realm possessing a legendary item could not be low-rank? You know the end: I perished here, now stuck in this miserable form, not knowing if I’m alive or dead."

"What a pity! A tragedy!!!"

The dried corpse let out a long sigh, regret tangible in his voice.

"You must think thrice, elder."

Su Ran felt that the dried corpse had not come out of the shadow of his past, and wondered if he could’ve survived this long, had he been in the same situation.
