Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 527 - 509: Task Reward

"It’s time to report my task to the Demon General!"

With no worries about the Demonic Treasure Mountain anymore, Su Ran felt lighter, but the thought of the general brought a new problem.

Where in the world was that damned guy hiding?!

Well, for the sake of the double task rewards, he had to start searching little by little!

Not wanting to attract too much attention, Su Ran tossed the Blood Crystal Bone Scythe into his bladder and, holding the Demon General’s order, began to traverse the Ancient Wasteland.

No one could have imagined that this nimble, swift, black-robed player was hiding a towering mountain in his belly. It was simply too incredible!

...

Effort pays off. After approximately twenty minutes of searching, Su Ran finally saw the Demon General again.

"Little skeleton, why are you here again? Didn’t I tell you that success comes only from within? Relying too much on external things will ultimately cause you to fall!"

At that time, the Demon General was leisurely patrolling his territory on his bone horse. He hadn’t expected this little skeleton to persistently follow him. This made the Demon General frown. He hadn’t thought this skeleton would be so greedy. The smell of copper radiating from it disgusted him.

"Great Demon General, there has been a misunderstanding!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran jumped, hastily explaining. He feared that the Demon General may have had some impression of him that could seriously decrease the following reward or even cancel it completely. This was not an outcome he wanted to see! Su Ran looked at the Demon General with sincere eyes, pulled out an unopened scroll, and handed it over as he continued, "Great Demon General, I am honored to say that I have successfully completed the mission you assigned!"

"What is this?"

The Demon General took a dubious view of Su Ran, grabbed the scroll, and flippantly began to read it.

It wasn’t hard to believe that the Demon General was skeptical of Su Ran. The Human Race old skeleton on the Demonic Treasure Mountain was incredibly powerful. Moreover, considering his control over the mountain, killing him was extremely difficult! Given the scant half day’s work, killing the Human Race’s old skeleton seemed an impossible feat!

"Huh? Secrets of the Mountain of Countless Demons?!"

The Demon General’s eyes sharpened, instantly becoming serious. He grumbled at Su Ran, "Where did you get this? Tell me the truth!"

Seeing the stern expression on the Demon General’s face, Su Ran shuddered unexplainably. He suddenly felt like a criminal under interrogation. Did the Demon General’s insistence on ’telling the truth’ indicate a ’comply and you’ll be treated leniently, resist and you’ll be treated more harshly’ kind of rhythm?

"Well, Great Demon General, if I say I killed the old skeleton and this thing just dropped out, would you believe me?"

Su Ran was confused as to why the Demon General was so serious. Shouldn’t completing a task be a good thing? Could the plot be twisting?

"Crafty little skeleton, well done! Do you honestly think I’m that easy to fool? You should know, that skeleton was a renowned thunder-based dual element mage of the Human Race! Even I couldn’t..."

The Demon General, half-furious, half-laughing, was about to teach this audacious skeleton a lesson but stopped abruptly. Because, at that moment, he was stunned to discover that the frail, little skeleton in front of him had actually produced a corpse.

"Hiss..."

Despite his shock, the Demon General didn’t forget to tell Su Ran, "Skeleton warrior, hurry and bring it to me for a look!"

Well, he has changed his tone again, now calling me a warrior...

Not minding the Demon General’s previous words, Su Ran handed the skeleton over to him.

"Really, really! Old guy, I never thought you’d see this day! Ha-ha-ha!"

The Demon General, holding the skeleton and sensing the energy from the bones, suddenly burst into insane laughter. His loud laughter reverberated far away, startling many birds into flight.

After a while, the Demon General finally halted the noise that passed for laughter, stared intently at the heap of bones, and, unsatisfied, bit down hard on a long arm bone.

Seeing this savage scene, Su Ran felt nausea rise to his throat. Disgusted, he immediately turned his head away, not daring to look any further.

"Ptui! Old guy, you’re as dead as dead can be! Your bones are still so hard though. Look at you, you were so grand when alive, and now you have died in the hands of a mere undead. Isn’t it embarrassing?"

The Demon General’s words were tinted with vicissitudes of life and a trace of loneliness. Gazing at something, his eyes appeared vacant as if reminiscing about something.

Upon hearing this, Su Ran smelled something unusual. Could there be any dirty secrets between these two? Why did the Demon General seem to harbor uncommon feelings toward the corpse?

Given the situation, a lively melody involuntarily played in Su Ran’s mind, Gourd baby, gourd baby~

"Skeleton warrior."

The Demon General turned his gaze to Su Ran, interrupting Su Ran’s daydreaming. His eyes revealed a hint of admiration as he said approvingly, "You have successfully impressed me. All the harsh words I said before, I take them back. You indeed deserve the title ’warrior!’"

The Demon General was straightforward, taking responsibility for his actions and bestowing high praise upon Su Ran. This left Su Ran a bit taken aback.

"Thank you for your praise, Great Demon General. I will continue to work hard and will not disappoint you!"

While Su Ran said this, he was actually extremely anxious inside. This Demon General sure was a big talker. Why couldn’t he simply give Su Ran the reward?!

"Little skeleton, congratulations, you have perfectly completed this task!"

The Demon General nodded in satisfaction. After throwing away all the corpses in his hand, he pulled out two pieces of gold equipment from his bosom, hesitated for a moment, grabbed a bunch of gold coins, and handed them to Su Ran, "This is the reward for this task, keep it safe!"

As soon as Su Ran accepted the reward, the system’s prompt sound came right on time, invigorating him.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skeleton for completing the tasks ’A Demon General’s Concern’ and ’A Demon General’s Request’ and receiving two pieces of gold equipment and a hundred gold coins as a reward!"

Su Ran wasn’t interested in the equipment. Although he knew that gold equipment was valuable, he was somewhat disappointed. It would have been nice if he had received some Skill Books!

"Great Demon General, thank you for your generous reward!"

"Come on, accompany me to the Demonic Treasure Mountain. I still have a dream unfulfilled, and this time it’s a good opportunity to put it to rest."

With a flick of the whip, the Demon General indicated to Su Ran to lead the way.

Well, this was awkward. He definitely couldn’t take the Demon General into his bladder for a tour, right?

"Great Demon General, to be honest, when I descended from the mountain, the Demonic Treasure Mountain was forcefully teleported away. As for its destination, I have no idea."

Su Ran bowed his head in respect. Really, he was afraid this guy would see through him, which would be troublesome.
