Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 567 - 547 The Black Skull

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

As Su Ran continued to delve deeper, the well’s constraints grew smaller and smaller, gradually beginning to broaden.

"Could it be... is this the mythical Blood Pond of Demons?"

Su Ran was pleasantly surprised to discover that such an extensive pool of blood couldn’t be called a well anymore. Instead, it was his current destination, the Blood Pond of Demons!

"Hahaha, such tremendous luck. It came to me without any effort!"

Su Ran grew more and more excited. He did not expect that he would find the Blood Pond of Demons under such a fortuitous coincidence! Su Ran suppressed his impulse to let the little beggar out as he continued forward. He knew that he shouldn’t rush things. First, he needed to figure out what this blood water was all about!

...

In a sealed cave.

A small skeleton was hanging in the air, bound by a chain around its skeleton. Below it was a black liquid that was burning like a fire. Bubbles were continuously popping up, indicating that the black liquid had reached a boiling point.

The skeleton suspended in the air was baked until its entire body was bronze. It clenched its teeth, guarding its mind, silently enduring the agonizing heat of the flames.

Surprisingly, this violently burning black liquid was encapsulated by a pool of red blood. The two didn’t mix and even their temperatures didn’t leak out. It was miraculous.

"Skeleton kid, can you hold on any longer? If not, get out of here immediately!"

A gloomy voice echoed in the sealed space, with its echoes flooding into the skeleton’s skull.

Stimulated by the voice, the small skeleton managed to nod its head arduously, it was so burned by the black fire below that it couldn’t even speak. However, the expression on the skeleton’s face was even more resolute and the color of the Bone Soul Ghost Fire in its eye sockets gradually deepened.

Seeing the stubbornness of the small skeleton, tough even in death, a sigh was heard, followed by silence. The only sound left in the space was the cracking sound of the fire. The sight was so brutal that it was unbearable to watch.

Time slowly passed, and the black flame continued to burn incessantly. Under such high heat, the small skeleton’s bones had turned from white to bronze, and now were turning to black. From its expression of extreme fatigue, it was apparent that it had reached its limit and if the torment continued, it would surely be turned to ashes!

"Skeleton kid, give up!"

The voice sounded again, only this time its tone was much gentler.

The small skeleton mustered some spirit and weakly shook its head, continuing to endure the hellish torment with the stubbornness in its heart.

Suddenly.

"Splash!"

Water splashed out from the previously calm pool of blood, and a skull emerged from the water.

"Ah ha, finally made it! It wasn’t easy!"

Su Ran leaped out of the water and silently applied the Treading on Air Technique. Holding up the giant bone scythe, he floated in the air. By appearances alone, he had quite the imposing aura.

"Where is this?"

Su Ran was surprised to find out that after swimming this far, he had somehow ended up in another sealed space.

Could it be...

That he still hadn’t escaped from under the fissure?

"Hmm-hmm! Hmm-hmm!"

Suddenly, an urgent call came from afar. Su Ran turned his head subconsciously and was immediately startled.

Wow, where did this black skeleton come from? It looked like it was dug out from coal, so ugly?!

Ignoring the burning flame below, the black skeleton, drawing strength from somewhere, started to flail its legs as if trying to convey something to Su Ran.

"Hey buddy, are you practicing the Roasting Fire God Technique? Or are you so desperate to die?"

Su Ran muttered with curiosity. He had never seen such a masochistic skeleton before. Being curious, he took several steps in mid-air towards the black skeleton. But as soon as he approached, he was hit with a wave of hot air.

Wow, it’s so hot! How could this black skeleton stand it?!

"Hmm-hmm!"

The black skeleton moved its limbs a few times, then completely lost strength. Its limbs drooped, but it looked at Su Ran with intense anticipation.

"Huh? I think I’ve seen this look somewhere before..."

Su Ran thought the skeleton seemed familiar, but when he looked at its black appearance, he couldn’t connect it to the little stone.

However, at that moment.

"Foreign Undead, stay away from it!"

A stern voice exploded in the enclosed space, startling Su Ran.

"Who’s there? Who’s playing tricks? Show up!"

Su Ran knew that a BOSS was lurking somewhere here. But what puzzled him was that he couldn’t find any trace of the BOSS.

Could it be...

That this BOSS was using the long-lost art of Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission from the world of martial arts?

Well, not exactly lost, more like outdated...

In this day and age, wouldn’t a simple message solve anything? Why bother learning the Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission?

"Haha, playing tricks? Such lowly tricks are unworthy of me!!!"

The voice suddenly echoed through the space, full of mockery.

Even after the voice disappeared, Su Ran wasn’t able to find out where it was coming from. He cautiously scanned the surroundings, gripping the Blood Crystal Bone Scythe tightly, afraid of being ambushed if he wasn’t careful.

"Don’t be nervous, you and I both hail from the Demon World. I’m not stupid enough to kill my own kind!"

The voice’s hostility towards Su Ran was significantly reduced, "Scythe Skeleton, your reputation in the Demon World is not low. I can see that, kid, you have great fortune!"

Reputation in the Demon World?

Su Ran just remembered that he had gained a lot of favor in the Demon World for taking over Novice Village, attacking the Human Race territory, killing the Human Emperor’s avatar, etc. So, this favor can ward off potential conflicts!

Hey, in that case, let’s squeeze some advantage out of you first, haha!

"Senior, can you come out? It’s unnerving just talking to the air,"

Su Ran’s tone suddenly changed, no longer referring to himself as ’young master’, and his pretentious demeanor instantly faded.

"I’m unable to come out."

The voice, thick with a sigh, continued, "My flesh and blood have long been eroded away by the sands of time. Now, only my soul and spirit remain, at the end of their lifespan. If it weren’t for the obsession in my heart, I would have dissipated into the ether by now."

Ah, I thought this was a powerful BOSS, but it turns out to be a dying soul!

Uh, my Bone Cauldron hasn’t evolved to its highest level yet. Since you’re doomed to die anyway, why not offer up your soul now?

Of course, Su Ran only thought about that - he didn’t dare to say it out loud.

"Senior, why is this black skeleton suffering such a cruel punishment?"

Su Ran deftly changed the subject to the miserable black skeleton.
