Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 530 - 512: Trickery leads to a Hidden Mission (Two in One)

A great deal of flames converged and compressed towards the floating fruit, soon becoming one entity.

For a moment, the temperature radiating from the fruit was so fierce that it reached an extreme. Due to the excessive concentration of the attached flames, their color changed from a red radiance to a dazzling white. Under the dual stimuli of light and heat, Su Ran could only retreat several steps once more, feeling far better in his heart.

Suddenly,

Another strong fluctuation was triggered in the transportation circle, sweeping towards the fruit, enveloping all the surrounding Fire Force and pouring it all into the fruit in one fell swoop.

The terrifying flames brewed inside the fruit, eventually being absorbed and transformed by it. Gradually, a radiant color emerged throughout the fruit, triggering a shocked expression on Su Ran who was watching the commotion.

"Such a small fruit is capable of containing such terrifying energy, it’s absolutely abnormal!"

Su Ran increasingly confirmed that this mysterious fruit was an absolute spiritual object of heaven and earth, and its level was not low! Unfortunately, the treasure was not his to have, he couldn’t forcefully attain it. He could only strive for it as much as possible, seeking an opportunity to strike, like a hunter.

Time seemed to have frozen, with a relative static state formed between the transportation circle and the fruit. The outside world couldn’t feel a trace of temperature at all, even the light emanating from the fruit was completely retracted, gradually returning to its reddish appearance, making it mouthwatering.

"Is it over? But that was quite anticlimactic!"

Su Ran felt like he was making a mountain out of a molehill. Was it merely the system giving out a freebie?

"I can’t just stand here; let’s give it a try!"

Su Ran ripped another Invincible Card. Once the golden light covered his entire body, he quickly darted towards the transportation circle. Without the heat wave obstructing, Su Ran easily approached the transportation circle. The Treading on Air Technique was used instantly and with a few steps, he shot up the sky, reaching out to grab the mysterious fruit.

"Bang!"

A thick pillar of fire shot out from within the fruit with a violent momentum, fiercely crashing into the audacious Undead skeleton in front of him.

Undoubtedly, this probe ended in failure. Su Ran, who was in an invincible state, was not afraid of the threat of the fire pillar. He allowed himself to be hit and fly out, turning in the air for two and a half times before just managing to stabilize his body, he looked at the fruit with a serious expression on his face.

"Huh, what’s going on?"

Su Ran surprisingly found out that the fire pillar that attacked him did not disperse in the world, but it floated beside the fruit, constantly changing its shape.

This phenomenon was exactly what the old saying meant - Where there’s smoke, there’s fire!

Su Ran, who was impatient to continue waiting, directly took out his powerful and majestic bone sickle and swung fiercely at the fruit. Due to his weak strength, he couldn’t even generate an air blade, but his posture was full on. He then stimulated the Ice Arrow skill carried by the Ice Bead, and with a ’whoosh’ sound, an Ice Arrow was instantly formed and shot swiftly towards the fruit.

Just as Su Ran guessed, the fire pillar floating next to the fruit automatically formed a shield-like style, blocking his Ice Arrow.

After forcing off the Ice Arrow, the fire pillar transformed its shape once again. Under the surprised gaze of Su Ran, it transformed into the figure of an old man with a white beard, holding the fruit in his hand.

"No way, isn’t this a bit far-fetched?"

Su Ran simply couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He didn’t understand whether the fruit was the main body, or if this fire pillar was the main body?

"So it’s an Undead skeleton with a vicious weapon in hand, interesting."

The old man made of fire floated in mid-air, facing Su Ran from afar, stroking his beard, and laughing.

"You can talk?"

Su Ran asked a rather foolish question. It was no wonder that he was so shocked. The old man transformed from flames actually possessed human language ability, something he had never encountered before.

"Haha, what a simple kid."

The old man made of fire laughed heartily, to the point that even the flames on his body were jumping around. The fruit in his hand, though, had become a lot more obedient, quietly resting in his hand, motionless.

"You should know that I was a human in my past life, how could I not speak?"

The old man made of fire didn’t hold Su Ran’s innocence against him. At this moment, he looked nostalgia and recalled the past, only to respond with a sigh.

The Human Race?!

Su Ran was secretly worrying. He was not currently wearing the black robe of an Illusion Demon, revealing his appearance to this old man made of fire. Under the conflict of races, he would definitely not benefit from it, let alone the mysterious fruit!

Don’t be fooled by this old man’s benevolent and kind smile, who knows what kind of curse he could be muttering behind his back. He must be cautious of such people who hide the knife in their smile!

"Little skeleton, you don’t need to be so nervous. I’m just a soul, I bear you no ill will. To tell you the truth, since my soul has come out of the fruit today, it signifies that my time is up. Looking at thousands of years, spring comes and autumn goes, everyone enters the cycle of reincarnation. No one can see through life and death, and no one can escape from it."

The old man of fire laughed at himself, looking indifferent. The flames attached to the soul seemed to become a bit unreal. He continued, "I wanted immortality and tried everything to avoid the cycle of reincarnation, surviving until now. After countless years, I have realized a truth: birth, aging, sickness, and death are the great way of reincarnation. One can’t attain eternal life without entering the cycle of reincarnation!"
