Chapter 517: Chapter 499: Falling Out with the BOSS (Two in One)_2

"Holy shit, so fast?"

"My god, is someone else playing this character?"

The players around Su Ran were shocked, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

"Well done, youngster, you’ve surprised me. Congratulations, you are the first to qualify to enter the final layer!"

"Whoosh!"

A flash of white light, and Su Ran, along with the group of players still in shock behind him, were teleported to the fourth level.

"Am I dreaming?"

"Dude, you’re awesome, I knew I made the right choice in picking you!"

"Overturning Water, about that contract..."

Young Master Fa, taken aback by the developments, quickly brought up the contract again.

"Allow me some time to think it over."

Su Ran responded easily, giving a cold look to these players who judged him based on his capabilities. Had it not been for Young Master Fa’s financial backing, he would have already removed him from his friend’s list and blocked him.

However, while Su Ran was being swarmed by players, the middle-aged player at the very back took a few steps back. The others understood his intention, and a dozen people gathered around him.

"Did you hear that, we’re on the final level! Keep your eyes peeled, get ready, seize any opportunity, and strike!"

"Yes!"

...

Suddenly.

The figure of the cloaked skeleton appeared on the fourth level, whereas the Crane That Doesn’t Dance and others were not teleported in.

"Huh? Skeleton Senior, where are the others?"

"They’re still fighting. I’m annoyed by the noise, and it’s a bit quieter here at this level."

The cloaked skeleton swiveled its slender neck, its eyes fixed on Su Ran, "Now, we begin the fourth trial, the Test of Truth and Lies."

"Test of Truth and Lies?"

Su Ran didn’t understand what the skeleton boss meant. Why would it start the trial without waiting for everyone, instead, seeming so eager to start?

Something unusual was definitely afoot. He had to be careful moving forward!

"Excuse me, Senior."

"Stand on this magic formation. If you lie, you will face severe punishment."

The cloaked skeleton pointed forward. With a bang, an ancient magic circle appeared, emanating a dangerous aura.

Su Ran wasn’t afraid. He strode forward and stood on the magic circle. His feet prickled painfully like they were being stabbed by needles as they absorbed the luminous rays from the formation below him.

"How many broken weapons do you have now? Of course, those that have been melted down count as well."

The cloaked skeleton asked bluntly, its eyes drilling into Su Ran, as though trying to decipher something.

"43 pieces."

Su Ran answered truthfully. At this point, there was no need for subterfuge.

"Hiss..."

"This guy, he can really dig. He’s so lucky, he almost hollowed out the entire cliffside by himself!"

"Had I known he could dig up so much, I should’ve just bought a piece from him! What a waste of a Soul Tripod, it’s such a pity!"

...

The players started whispering among themselves, oblivious to the ominous expression on the skeleton boss’s face overhead.

"You’re lying!"

The cloaked skeleton roared, startling the players below.

"I had dropped a total of 47 special items this time. You’ve audaciously claimed that you unearthed 43 pieces, so does that mean the six people on the third layer only got four?!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran had a strong urge to drop trou so that the skeleton could count the items properly.

But...

From these words, Su Ran felt that something was not quite right. The truth and falsehood trial was not a system self-check, but a conjecture of this old skeleton!

No wonder he had been busy for so long but he hadn’t heard the system prompt, it turned out that this old guy was acting it all by himself!

Since it’s not protected by the system, that makes things easier!

"Skeleton Senior, I only have one broken weapon, plus two given by a friend, that’s 3 items. Add in this fused one, I’m not even sure if I should count it, let’s just say 4 or rather 3 items. This is our hometown language, I wasn’t sure whether to say 4 or 3. Anxious, I blurted it out. I didn’t expect you to misunderstand. However, the misunderstanding was understandable."

Su Ran pathetically took out his novice hoe and continued speaking to the straw-clothed skeleton, "Look, Senior, the only thing I have is this low-level hoe, can you expect me to dig up that much? Even If I spent half a year digging, I wouldn’t be able to do so!"

"What a cunning youngster! However, you may escape the death penalty, but you can’t skip the living penalty!"

The tone of the straw-clothed skeleton softened a lot. He continued speaking to Su Ran, "Hand over your Soul Tripod, it’s the key to survive till the final challenge!"

Heh, after all the beating around the bush, he has finally revealed his true intention. Turns out he’s interested in my Strange Demon Bone Cauldron!

"Senior, this Soul Tripod is of great significance to me. If it’s lost, I won’t be able to survive. You wouldn’t be so heartless, right?"

"Why should I care if you live or die?!"

The straw-clothed skeleton finally showed its hideous fangs and said to the dozens of players below, "All of you from the Human Race, who can take this man’s Soul Tripod, I guarantee him the final challenge right!"

"Senior, are you really serious?"

"What the hell are you hesitating for, Attack!"

The players were thrilled, they pulled out their weapons and started to charge at Su Ran.

"Brother Overturning Water, I have no choice but to do this. If I kill you, I will compensate you later!"

Young Master Fa hesitated for a moment, then joined the crowd in the chase to kill Su Ran.

"Heh, you want to kill me?"

Although Su Ran’s situation took a sharp turn for the worst, he didn’t panic at all. He took a step forward, trying to escape the magic formation.

But.

"Swoosh!"

Beams of white light rose from the ground’s magic array. They were like a four-sided wall, trapping Su Ran so that he couldn’t move.

"You still want to escape? Give up on that idea! Young one, you should give up and die to avoid physical suffering!"

The straw-clothed skeleton was laughing madly. In his view, these non-human creatures are too easy to fool. With a bit of sweet bait, they started to kill each other and even worked obediently for him. Really, they were truly ignorant and stupid!

As expected, the magic array only has the ability to trap people, not detect lies!

"Senior, is this what you call the truth or false trial? It seems like a trap trial to me! And it’s the kind that kills people without taking responsibility!"

Su Ran tried to dart here and there, but he couldn’t escape the area sealed off by the magic array. He couldn’t help but say it with some annoyance.

"You still don’t give up? Don’t bother trying. Unless you can grow wings and fly out!"

The straw-clothed skeleton sneered, "In this space, I am the rules! The trial is up to me!"

"Haha, what a domineering old skeleton!"

Su Ran looked at the haughty straw-clothed skeleton with some interest, "I hate to disappoint you, but I can actually fly!"

Then, before the players could attack, Su Ran stepped forward in the air and truly began to fly.

"Whoa, he’s truly unexpected!"

The players realized their attacks were hopeless, stopped, and looked upwards, hoping that Su Ran would fall from the sky.

As for Young Master Fa, he was the only mage left in the crowd. He didn’t want to offend Su Ran to death. After all, owning a premium Soul Tripod would lead to a bright future someday. After weighing the pros and cons, Young Master Fa gave up the idea of attacking and shifted his gaze to the skeleton boss.

"Young one, you really surprised me."

The straw-clothed skeleton grinned, "But this is your last struggle. Furious Thunderstrike, go!"

"Boom boom boom~!"

Not far above Su Ran’s head, a huge dark cloud formed rapidly, brewing thunder and lightning within. The sound of thunder reverberated as a dazzling lightning bolt slashed towards Su Ran in mid-air. It was so fast that it happened in a blink of an eye!

"Crack!"

The momentum of the lightning was so fierce that it even tore the space apart. The extreme white light flashed and disappeared. The furious lightning crashed on top of Su Ran’s head.
