Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 579 - 556: Space Package

Just as Su Ran’s skeletal hand touched the surface of the spatial package, a sudden change occurred.

’Huff, huff.’!

A violent suction force suddenly emerged from the spatial package. Before Su Ran could realize what had happened, he was sucked into this small spatial package. At the same time, the violent wind instantly ceased, and the Demonic Treasure Mountain reverted its sepulchral quietness.

’What’s going on?’!

At that moment, Su Ran felt as if the world were spinning, unsure of what he had encountered or where he was. He was in a fog, completely at the mercy of this sucking force that was dragging him forward.

’This is bad, I might have fallen into a trap!’

Su Ran was agitated. This was the first time he had encountered this type of situation. He never thought that a spatial package could also have traps — this system was really too wicked!

Luckily, this process did not last too long. Su Ran soon plunged headfirst into a desert.

’Blech, blech!’

Su Ran hurriedly jerked his head out of the yellow sand, shaking off a bout of dizziness, then spat out a mouthful of sand.

’This is... a desert space?’

As Su Ran looked all around him, he found, incredibly, that this spatial package held an enormous expanse of desert. He didn’t know what secrets were hidden in this space, or why they were so concealed!

With a grave expression, Su Ran cautiously surveyed the surroundings. The place was terribly silent — no monsters, not even the sound of the wind. This strange phenomenon made him feel extremely unease.

Pacing over the yellow sand, feeling the friction and warmth from the grains of sand beneath his feet, Su Ran’s nerves began to relax. However, caution is the parent of safety, so he swiftly activated the [Sand Control] skill.

’Whoosh!’

A whirl of yellow sand was drawn up from beneath his feet, swirling around Su Ran’s skeleton. It quickly formed into a thick shell of sand, protecting Su Ran like a suit of armor, making him appear much sturdier. With this layer of sand-shell defense, Su Ran felt considerably more at ease.

’Right! I nearly forgot. The skill bestowed by the Tao fruit requires sand as a carrier. With so much yellow sand here, it would be a waste not to take more.’

Thinking this, Su Ran lay down on the ground and started pushing handfuls of yellow sand into his bladder. Before long, he had cleared a small parcel of barren ground.

However,

Just as Su Ran was diligently stealing sand, a glistening grain of sand in the corner to his right slowly rose. It glowed an orange-yellow light almost half a foot above the ground, resembling a dim oil lamp. Amid the golden sand, it could easily be overlooked unless one looked closely.

Under the radiating light, the vast expanse of sand on the ground started to tremble. Mounds of yellow sand converged into sand scorpions, one after another, launching an attack on the intruder.

At that moment, Su Ran heard unusual sounds. He turned his head in surprise and was taken aback by the sight. My god, when did it spawn so many sand scorpions?

Before the sand scorpions could reach him, Su Ran dashed several steps into the air, hovering above the ground. Only then did he notice that the extensive yellow sand that had covered the ground had completely vanished, leaving only these formidable sand scorpions charging towards him.

’So that’s why there was so much yellow sand in this spatial package!’

Su Ran quickly counted — there were at least fifty to sixty sand scorpions below, but he detected no presence of a boss. Taking advantage of the fact that sand scorpions couldn’t fly and therefore couldn’t reach him, he examined the attributes of the sand scorpions before making his move.

[Sand Scorpion] LV30

Qi Blood: 1800

Attack: 168-175

Defense: 68

Agility: 6

Active Skills: Tail Needle Assault — 20% attack bonus, 50% chance of paralyzing for 3 seconds.

Passive Skills: Evasion — With the convergence of yellow sand, there’s a certain chance to completely evade a physical attack.

’Well, it’s only a level-30 monster, nothing to fear!’

Once he’d understood the attributes of the small monsters, Su Ran sprung into action. He ran around the space close to the ground, attracting the anger of all the sand scorpions and drawing them to himself. Under his intentional guidance, the sand scorpions bunched together into a dense heap.

’Let’s start with an appetizer for you. Netherworld Purple Fire, go!’

Laughing aloud in the air, his voice coarse but cheerful, Su Ran threw the purple fireball into the crowd of scorpions. With a loud bang, a sturdy pillar of fire exploded, engulfing over ten sand scorpions. Under the high temperatures of the purple flame, the sand scorpions curled up in a ball, attempting to reduce the damage caused by the blazing fire.

The remaining sand scorpions exhibited feelings of panic, each scrambling to escape. The scene was complete chaos.

’What’s going on? Monsters made from sand can express emotions? This is too human-like, isn’t it?’

Floating in the air, Su Ran had a bird’s-eye view of the chaos below. Then he revealed a ruthless grin. With a strong slash of the Illusion Demon Stone Sword downwards, he roared, ’Wild Thunder Flash, strike!’

’Crack!’ ’Crack!’

A huge mass of dark clouds brewed in the sky overhead and a dozen streaks of lightning descended from the heavens, raining down ceaselessly onto the disoriented sand scorpions below. For a moment, the scene below was even more chaotic.

’Just the beginning of the show. I’m going to let myself have a blast today. What’s 300 copper ores to me? This level of expenditure is still bearable. Treasure Mountain Topping, bash!’

Before the Wild Thunder Flash had finished, a colossal object suddenly appeared in the air — a mountain peak!

’Boom!’

Under the influence of the powerful gravitational pull, the mountain peak crashed downwards, forcing the sand scorpions to taste the oppression of a mountain falling on their heads. Even the entire space started trembling as if it were about to collapse. This startled Su Ran.

’Not good, I might have overdone it!’

Su Ran dared not make another move. He waited until the illusion of the Demonic Treasure Mountain had disappeared. The unfortunate sand scorpions crawled out of the pit, their health points having dropped by more than half. Their wild ferocity was gone, and they even appeared despondent.

’These sand scorpions might not have physical bodies, but they have souls!’

Observing the actions of the sand scorpions, Su Ran had deduced some tricks. He waited until the space had stabilized again before making his next move.

’Arise from the depths of the earth, undead!’

Su Ran used the ’Summon Undead’ skill to call forth ten bronze skeletons. This time, he dared not use a powerful crowd technique. If the space were to collapse and he got dragged into it, that would be a great loss!

But that wasn’t all. Su Ran also summoned the Dark Bone Lion and the Sand Puppet, preparing for a fierce battle. As for the Illusion Demon, Su Ran had no intention of summoning it for now, as it consumed too many resources. The materials for refining that the players had assembled for him had been depleted by more than half. Unless necessary, he would refrain from using this summoned beast!

The space was filled with thick smoke. A great battle was about to commence!
