Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 559 - 539: The Coffin Shows Its Power

What was going on? How were those people still alive? Weren’t they all consumed by the rat swarm?

The situation before him had completely taken Su Ran by surprise. He couldn’t comprehend how they had managed to create so many fissures and even drive back the rat swarm. Most importantly, why were these players hiding inside? Why were they attacking without even revealing themselves?

Could it be... this place was a hidden treasure map? Or was there some unspeakable secret hidden here?!

That was close; he had almost given up this treasure-packed place!

The more Su Ran thought about it, the clearer it became. He felt deep regret for the other players. If they had arrived just a minute later, he would have already left voluntarily and none of this would have happened!

Suddenly,

Just as Su Ran was hesitating about whether or not to make a move, a strong suction force erupted out of nowhere, pulling him down from the ledge!

Su Ran was horrified. He instinctively used the Treading on Air Technique several times, but it was useless. He fell straight down from the fissure.

As for the players below, it was terrible. They all involuntarily fell to the ground, being held firm by the force, unable to move.

Su Ran was in a very bad situation. If he were to fall now, he would face dozens of players. Even imagining the result was terrifying. If he didn’t die, he would be badly injured!

How to break through this situation... novelbuddy.cσ๓

That’s it!

Su Ran came up with an idea. He took out several heavy coffins while his opponents were immobilized by the vigorous suction force and forcefully tossed them down. As these coffins flew, they were subject to both the force of gravity and suction, striking the humans below like meteorites. The mournful cries of the players echoed throughout the area.

One by one, the coffins were rapidly thrown down. After several loud crashes, Su Ran finally landed on top of one of the coffins. Having the coffins blocking him, the suction force he felt was reduced significantly. He jumped onto a coffin and even stomped it a few times. Only after hearing the painful moans from below did Su Ran stop, sliding into the hidden space in front of him and disappearing.

The powerful suction force came quickly and left just as swiftly, but the heavy coffins were not going to leave. The players below them struggled to breathe because of the crushing weight. Only after the suction force disappeared could they push the coffins aside and clumsily climb up.

"Damn it, where did all these coffins come from? They nearly snapped my spine!"

"Your spine? Feel this, my splendid butt is now flat like a pan, it’s lost all feeling. Damn these coffins!"

"Scram!"

"Unlucky, we didn’t find the player and instead found these coffins. Could there be ghosts here?"

"Are you kidding!? This is a game, not a horror movie. Do you understand?!"

"Let’s stop guessing and hurry up. That guy went in there!"

With a gloomy face, Qiu Tu was the first to rush into the dark space. The other players exchanged glances and followed suit.

...

As for Su Ran, he had come to realize that using a torch would make him too conspicuous and thus, he moved forward in the dark. He couldn’t find the right direction in the darkness and had to wander at random. His only aim was to put as much distance between himself and the pursuing players as possible!

Internally, Su Ran was full of regret. Why had he put his rock chains in the storage box? If he had thrown them down, they would have undoubtedly crushed the players below!

What a pity...

But as for the coffins, Su Ran felt no remorse. They weren’t valuable. System recycling wasn’t an issue, He could dig up more from a couple of graves.

"This is a huge space!"

Exclaimed Su Ran, surprised. He hadn’t thought there would a space this big underneath the forest. He had been proceeding for so long and he had yet to hit a boundary!

Suddenly,

A burst of colorful light flashed then disappeared in front of him. Su Ran happened to spot it.

"Haha, treasures!"

Su Ran rushed towards the coordinates of the light and found a familiar flower in elegant bloom, standing out amidst the darkness.

"Is this...a Nightmare Flower?!"

Su Ran was pleased. He still remembered giving one of these to the Ghost King Drought Fiend in his own territory and establishing a good relationship. It was also a top-grade medicinal material, indispensable for formulating high-grade pills!

This was surely a priceless treasure!

Without hesitation, Su Ran plucked the Nightmare Flower and quickly studied its properties and effects.

[Nightmare Flower] (Medicinal Material)

Effect: Confuses the mind. Extremely rare!

Note: First choice for alchemy, top-grade medicinal material.

So, it really was a Nightmare Flower!

So that’s it. This place is a Nightmare Flower growing site, it’s no wonder these players valued it so much! Su Ran smiled wryly and put the Nightmare Flower into his Storage Box, then continued to grope his way forward.

"Guys, stay alert. That guy is crafty. He might launch a surprise attack at any moment so don’t let your guard down!"

Qiu Tu commanded the players in a low voice, casting a vigilant glance towards the darkness in front of him, hoping to spot Su Ran.

"Boss Qiu, this area is too large, and our line of sight is seriously obstructed. Our current method is not effective. What if we split into eight groups, four people each group, and carry out a search separately. The chance of catching that guy would be higher, don’t you think?"

One of the players suggested, the other players nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Good! If you encounter an unfamiliar player, signal with a whistle. Let’s corner him!"

Qiu Tu hardened his heart. The humiliation of being crushed by coffins was burning in him, and he was determined to kill Su Ran the moment he encountered him!

The mage team obediently split into eight groups. Seven groups went in different directions while one group followed Qiu Tu. They didn’t even have time to look for Nightmare Flowers anymore. They were all in to kill Su Ran.

...

"Haha, here’s another one!"

Su Ran’s face was filled with joy. High-end materials like the Nightmare Flower were something he would never pass up. You never know when you could use it! He had hardly spent a minute and already found two Nightmare Flowers. Anyone in his place would be extremely excited!
