Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 547 - 528

"Old man, couldn’t you just hand it over since we’re so close? Was it really necessary to throw it? And with so much strength!"

Just as Su Ran was stretching out anxiously to catch it, something unexpected happened. The mound of yellow sand in his hand rose and formed a thin sand net, enveloping the Dao Fruit. Strangely, the force with which the Dao Fruit was thrown completely dissipated once covered by the sand, causing it to simply drop straight into Su Ran’s hands.

The mysterious Dao Fruit, with which he had had numerous encounters, was finally in his possession!!!

Impatiently, Su Ran examined the Sand Fruit in his hand, curious to discover its extraordinary abilities. This fruit had been so powerful it yielded the might of Heaven and Earth, even overcoming the Ice Lake!

[Dao Fruit] (Special)

Birthed from Heaven and Earth, it is a fruit transformed from the Sand’s Secret and has the ability of Sand Control.

Sand Control?!

Upon reading the brief description of the Dao Fruit, Su Ran couldn’t help but get excited. With this skill, who could contend in the Desert of Death?!

Wait a second?

Su Ran had seen with his own eyes that the Dao Fruit had the ability to control fire. He wondered why he couldn’t find this property listed under its attributes?

When Su Ran looked up, about to voice his doubts, he immediately understood everything the moment he saw the Fire Spirit Elder. The fiery elder, whose entire body was engulfed in flames, had emerged from this Dao Fruit! So, it was this old man who had been confronting the Ice Lake all along!

Ah, he had had rather high expectations for this Dao Fruit...

"Once you consume this, you’ll comprehend the Sand’s Secret. No need for any aid, just put it in your mouth and bite it," said the Fire Spirit Elder, looking at Su Ran with somewhat eager eyes. He wished to witness the kind of ability a creature of the Undead would manifest through the understanding of the Sand’s Secret, before he passed on.

"Elder, since you’re already detached from worldly affairs and are about to step into the cycle of reincarnation, why not invest all your fire abilities into this Dao Fruit for my sake?"

Instead of hastening to eat the Dao Fruit, Su Ran spoke sincerely. Deep down, he hoped to squeeze out some more juice from the old man before his demise.

"You’re eyeing my fire abilities? Well, you’ve got quite an appetite, skeleton! But... my flames are rather domineering. If you want to gain this ability, I’m not opposed to it. If you can withstand 1,000 points of damage every second for ten seconds straight without the help of any items, drugs, skills, or equipment, and still survive, why wouldn’t I be willing to gift you my essence of flames?!"

The Fire Spirit Elder looked at Su Ran with a faint smile, waiting for the decision he was about to make.

"Um, alright, after doing some calculations, I found that I’m not destined to have these flames, so never mind."

Su Ran replied awkwardly, no longer having any interest in the Fire Spirit Elder’s fierce and robust fire abilities.

"Hurry and consume the Dao Fruit, so I can see how good your luck is. If it allows you to understand the powerful group attack technique, Sandstorm Tornado, then you’ll have no match among your peers!"

The Fire Spirit Elder urged him repeatedly, the fervor in his eyes causing Su Ran to feel a bit scared.

"Just eat it then. Who’s afraid? Besides, I don’t have a stomach, there’s no way I can get a stomachache!"

Su Ran calmed himself down and shoved the Dao Fruit into his mouth without hesitation.

"Crunch!"

As the saying goes, a handsome look doesn’t last more than three seconds, and that held true for Su Ran at the moment.

"Ptui! Ptui! Ptui!"

Disregarding his image, Su Ran started to spit. Because he had eaten it in such a hurry, he had forgotten to clean off the sand and gravel that were attached to the Dao Fruit, which made it rather unpalatable...

Suddenly,

The moment the Dao Fruit was chewed and crushed, a light yellow glow burst forth from Su Ran’s orifices, converging into a light barrier that enveloped his skeleton.

At this moment, Su Ran went completely blank, the scene in front of his eyes changed rapidly, and he found himself in the hot Desert of Death. Yellow sand surged like waves, sometimes filling the sky, sometimes forming quicksand whirlpools, and at other times transforming into fearsome sandstorm tornadoes. The frightening power of nature morphed continuously, giving Su Ran the feeling that he was watching a slideshow of scenes from the desert. He was left completely dumbfounded by this spectacle.

Time passed second by second, and the pale yellow light slowly moved, quickly melding into Su Ran’s skeleton. As the light vanished, Su Ran’s body returned to normal, and his vision shifted from the Desert of Death back to reality.

"Phew!"

It seemed as though Su Ran had been through a life-and-death ordeal. His skeleton was soaked in cold sweat, and he was drained to the point where he plopped onto the ground. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Just then, the sweet sound of the system notification played, infusing his exhausted spirit with immense vitality.

"Ding! Congratulations, player Skeleton, for consuming the Heaven and Earth spirit object -- Dao Fruit, and comprehending the Sand’s Secret, Sand Control."

"Ding! Due to player Skeleton’s Luck Value of 14, you have luckily comprehended, Sand Puppet!"

Ha ha, all the hardships I went through were not in vain. I managed to comprehend two skills in one go!

At this moment, Su Ran had already thrown the fatigue out of his mind. He stood up energetically, his face brimming with joy.

"Come, use it quickly! Let me witness the power of Sand’s Secret!"

The Fire Spirit Elder spoke anxiously. From his demeanor, it seemed that he was more excited than Su Ran who had just comprehended the skills.

"You’re always hurrying things up, all I want is to check the skill properties! Forget it, I wouldn’t argue with someone who’s about to die."

Although Su Ran was rather unwilling and murmured in his heart, he didn’t show it on his face. Following the elder’s wish, he decided to use the Sand Puppet skill first.

"Swish!"

What surprised Su Ran was that the skill was cast into thin air. The Sand Puppet he had imagined didn’t appear, which made him feel a bit awkward. His first reaction was that he had learned a fake skill. So, out of helplessness, he started to carefully read the description of the skill.

[Sand Puppet] (Sand’s Secret) LV1

Uses a large amount of sand and gravel to summon a Sand Puppet, which disappears upon death. The skill cooldown time is 30 minutes.

Uh, I forgot to take out the sand, no wonder!

Su Ran quickly took out all the sand and gravel left by the Sand Boss and used the newly learned skill, Sand Puppet, again.

"Swish!"

A pale yellow light covered the sand and gravel. All the particles were drawn together to form a humanoid figure about two meters tall, standing in place. At the same time, the light converged into a ball, rushing into the head of the newly formed sand figure and disappearing.

"Ka Ka."

After the newly formed Sand Puppet adapted to its new body, it strode forward to Su Ran, guarding him from behind.

"Is this... a summoning skill?!"

The Fire Spirit Elder, who had been standing to the side the entire time, was suddenly filled with disbelief. He stared at the sturdy Sand Puppet, unable to help but exclaim aloud.
