Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 489 - 477: Hidden Mission Accomplished

"So, it’s Lord Demon General. Dare I ask what kind of demon spirits are under you? So I can keep tally and figure out who this token can be effective against."

Su Ran asked straightforwardly, not daring to bring out the Demon General Order until he had this figured out.

"Cough, cough."

The Demon General hadn’t expected Su Ran to be so forthright and said somewhat awkwardly, "Only the demon soldiers."

What? It was only effective against one type of minor demon? And here he had high hopes for this Demon General Order. As it was, it was nothing more than Bronze Equipment!

In other words, this Demon General was a weakling, just one rank above the last at the Ancient Wasteland. Regardless of being a level 50 Golden BOSS, what was the point of playing the big bad guy, riding his skeletal horse and acting so mighty - utter nonsense!

In just a blink, the image of the powerful and respected Demon General crumbled in Su Ran’s eyes. But this clearly showed that the dangerousness of the Ancient Wasteland far exceeded Su Ran’s expectations!

"Lord Demon General, may I know what task you have for me?" freeweɓnovel.cøm

Even though he was weaker, Su Ran still showed respect, which was his way of survival. He was puzzled. Considering his abilities, even dealing with three demon soldiers would be hard. It was truly ironic that there would be a suitable task for him here.

"Human Race, you should have heard about the Demonic Treasure Mountain, haven’t you?"

As soon as tasks were mentioned, the Demon General’s eyes lit up. He stepped up and courteously told Su Ran, "What I would like you to do is climb the Demonic Treasure Mountain!"

"Err, Lord Demon General, let me clarify beforehand, I’m not the Human Race. My human identity is just a disguise!"

Fearing racial conflict, and without any useful clues, Su Ran opted to remove his Illusion Demon robe and expose his real identity.

"An undead skeleton?! From the Demon World!"

The Demon General did a double-take before bursting into laughter.

"Didn’t see that coming! Little skeleton, you even fooled me!"

What’s the big deal? I’ve fooled the Human Emperor; let alone you, you... Never mind, let’s not mention it. In any case, I can’t defeat you.

"Great! Since you are also from the Demon World, there’s no need to play hide and seek!"

The Demon General was pleased with Su Ran, his conversation grew more casual, and he naturally drew closer to Su Ran.

"I’ll tell you truthfully, there’s an ancient human corpse on the Demonic Treasure Mountain. Unbelievably, its spirit lingers, considering the mountain its territory, laying countless traps and prohibitions. Ordinary demons can’t even take a step forward. As if that’s not enough, the darn old thing refined the entire mountain to have the Instant Movement attribute, an unimaginable feat!"

"Lord Demon General, if you all can’t step foot on the Demonic Treasure Mountain, how would I, a mere undead skeleton, have the ability to do it?!"

Su Ran was startled. He subconsciously thought the Demon General had seen through his possession of an advanced map and hurriedly covered his bladder.

"Why are you covering that? We’re both guys, what’s there to fear?!"

The Demon General was somewhat puzzled by Su Ran’s gesture. It was the first time he had seen a skeleton behave this way and found it amusing.

"I was out of line! Lord Demon General, don’t be angry. This is the first time I’ve seen such a senior, I was unconsciously a little nervous. Please don’t hold it against me!"

Seeing the Demon General’s puzzled expression, Su Ran knew he couldn’t see the treasure in his bladder and secretly sighed in relief.

"No matter."

The Demon General nodded, enjoying Su Ran’s flattery. He petted his skeleton horse’s skull and amiably said to Su Ran, "The reason I selected you, an undead skeleton, is precisely because of your human identity! And the prohibitions on the Demonic Treasure Mountain are ineffective against the Human Race!"

"But in our Ancient Wasteland, barely any humans venture here. Even if they did manage to get in by mistake, they were either killed or escaped, not a single step could they take! You, my boy, however, are the first human...err, undead I’ve come across!"

"Lord Demon General, you need not sigh! Cut to the chase. Our time is precious, it’s a pity to waste it."

Su Ran was getting impatient with the Demon General’s chatter, he couldn’t help but interrupt.

"Ha-ha, we’re already undead, time is unlimited. Where’s the preciousness in that? I was just too lonely, found you kind of pleasing, so I got a bit carried away!"

The Demon General wasn’t angry at being interrupted. He continued telling Su Ran, "I want you to use your human identity, infiltrate the Demonic Treasure Mountain, and steal the old fellow’s Instant Movement secret. Unravel the riddle of Instant Movement and restore peace to the Demonic Treasure Mountain!"

"Little skeleton, if you could steal that old bloke’s corpse, I will reward you handsomely!"

"I’ll give it a try, but that spirit is formidable, I can’t guarantee task completion. Don’t give me one of those timed tasks or a punishment task or what not. If that’s the case, I won’t accept this task."

Facing the Demon General’s hopeful eyes, Su Ran felt guilty rejecting him outright and lays his conditions upfront.

"No worries, there’s no need to fret about that, just do your best. If you fail, nothing is lost. You’re still weak now, failure is normal. If worst comes to worst, you may come to try again when you’re at a higher level!"

"Alright then, I accept this task. If I succeed, good for me. If not, just my rotten luck."

Su Ran nodded, indicating he accepted this hidden quest.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for obtaining a hidden quest, The Demon General’s Concern, find and unravel the Instant Movement secret of the Demonic Treasure Mountain. Quest reward: ???, Quest punishment: None, Time limit: None."

"Additional quest, The Demon General’s Request, if player Skeleton can bring ???’s corpse out of the Demonic Treasure Mountain, the quest rewards will be doubled."

Su Ran was taken aback, he didn’t expect this NPC’s corpse to be so valuable, the mission reward was directly doubled! You should know, this is a high-level hidden quest, the quest rewards definitely won’t be small!

Suddenly,

The Demon General’s face turned angry, his whole body radiating rage, and even the skeleton horse start to neigh uncontrollably.

Seeing the scene, Su Ran jumped in surprise.

What’s up? As soon as I accept the task, you’re turning on me? What’s the meaning of this?

"Little skeleton, help is being called for by our kind, intruders have appeared in the Ancient Wasteland! You come with me, once this small issue is resolved, I have something else to discuss with you."

Having said that, the Demon General didn’t wait for Su Ran’s response. He grabbed Su Ran’s arm bone and dragged him onto his skeleton horse. Under the Demon General’s lead, they rushed forward.
