Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 583 - 558

Su Ran didn’t reveal the truth to his mother and dismissed her with a few careless words.

"You’re right, I must have been overthinking."

"Mom, I’m hungry, I’m going to eat first~"

With that, Su Ran shuffled off and left the bedroom.

After eating and drinking his fill, and taking care of personal hygiene, Su Ran returned to his bedroom. Seeing that there was still a lot of Nutrient Solution left for Little Black, he reiterated careful instructions:

"Little Black, be a good boy and guard the house. If you feel unwell, drink some Nutrient Solution, got it?"

"Meow~~"

Little Black rubbed Su Ran’s trouser leg, its big shiny eyes full of crystal-like brilliance.

However,

Not long after Su Ran entered the game, there came a "knock knock knock" at the door.

"Someone’s here~"

Su’s mother wiped her damp hands on her apron hurriedly and came to the door. Still, after experiencing the hoodlum incident, she didn’t rush to open the door and asked through it, "Who is it?"

"Aunty, hello, it’s Li Wan’er."

A sweet voice drifted in from outside the door, and Su’s mother broke into a happy smile.

"I wonder who it was, it’s Wan’er! Come in quickly, what a coincidence, that rascal just entered the game. Please wait a moment, I’ll call him out right away!"

Su’s mother quickly opened the door and welcomed Li Wan’er in, taking her to the living room and sitting down together.

"Aunty, it’s no trouble. If Su Ran just entered the game, I’ll find him in the game."

Li Wan’er was startled by Su Ran’s mother’s enthusiasm and quickly stood up to explain, "The problem I encountered is in the game, it can’t be solved here, oh right, Aunty, what’s Su Ran’s phone number? I forgot to ask because I had to leave in a hurry last time."

Achieving her goal, Li Wan’er bid her farewell after a brief chat with Su’s mother.

"This kid, he does have quite the romantic luck!"

Su’s mother shook her head and smiled, her eyes clearing of much of their worries. Staring blankly for a moment, she returned to the kitchen. freewebnøvel.coɱ

...

The God-Demon Continent, Dark Swamp.

"I hope I’m not too late!"

Su Ran, riding Wang Cai, quickly arrived near the Dark Swamp.

However,

The Dark Swamp was as tranquil as ever, with corpse poison mosquitoes buzzing incessantly overhead. This made Su Ran’s heart suddenly chill.

It was too late, what a pity!

"Huh? Something’s not right!"

Just as Su Ran was about to give up, he was shocked to find many bubbles popping up in the swamp. Seeing this anomaly, Su Ran didn’t hesitate, pulling out his Blood Crystal Bone Scythe and jumping into the swamp, diving towards the bottom. He wanted to test whether the Underwater Breathing skill was effective in the swamp.

Using his Bone Scythe to split the increasingly sticky mud, Su Ran quickly dived down. The water at the northernmost pool was relatively clear, and he finally found the figures of several players.

These players were each encased in a bubble. Four of the players were fiercely fighting against a group of small Swamp Leeches, protecting the middle-aged player in their center. The middle-aged player was digging into the mud at the bottom of the swamp with a hoe, evidently trying to uncover something. The disturbance caused the mud to become incredibly turbid.

"Damn it, these guys have probably killed all the Swamp Fire Toads, and these leeches can’t break through their defense!"

Su Ran observed the battlefield, wondering why this middle-aged player was going to so much trouble to dig in the mud. Was he hunting for treasure?

Impossible!

The middle-aged player had mentioned he came here for a hidden mission, and the Golden Fire Toad Boss was just a decoy!

Could it be ...

He wanted to unearth a trapped boss monster?

Or maybe, open up a separate space?

Su Ran held his breath, hiding himself under the muddy pool water, watching the scene in front of him with bated breath, waiting for the moment of truth.

Under the protection of the Ice Bead inlaid on his Blood Crystal Bone Scythe, Su Ran felt no discomfort. Though moving at the bottom of the pool was difficult, at least, he didn’t suffer from a lack of oxygen. He could stay as long as he wanted!

All of a sudden,

"Ribbit, ribbit!"

A gigantic Swamp Fire Toad BOSS, its entire body ablaze with golden flames, emerged from the thick mud, its copper-bell sized golden eyes glaring down at the players.

"Finally, this annoying BOSS has shown itself!"

These players all had bubble shields around them, which didn’t hamper their speech.

"This thing has a summoning skill, be careful!"

These words came out rapid-fire from the middle-aged player, who swung his hoe with renewed vigor.

"Croak!"

From the golden fire toad’s gaping maw a flat, elongated, golden, flaming tongue shot out; it pierced through layers of mud and attacked the human players in front.

"Shield Blessing!"

One of them was a shield warrior, who lifted his shield instantaneously when he saw the BOSS’s attack, using his skill to raise his defense.

"Boom!"

The Fire Tongue missed and recoiled. The toad’s massive body lunged down, tearing through the resistance of the water, and pounced at the humans.

"Let’s go together and attack its eyes!"

The shield warrior couldn’t withstand the golden fire toad’s massive body, and he couldn’t help but cry out loud.

"It’s just a level 20 BOSS, no need to worry!"

A player dressed as a magician shouted angrily, condensing the cold elements of ice. An Ice Bead quickly formed and shot toward the toad’s big eyes.

Another magician followed suit, another Ice Bead formed and was shot towards the pouncing golden fire toad.

Apart from the middle-aged player in the center, there was one other warrior who was too busy hacking at the Swamp Leeches with his sword to pay attention to anything else.

As for the shield warrior, he added an attack aura, instantly boosting the party’s attack power.

"Boom!"

The Ice Bead collided with the fire toad’s golden pupil, causing 200+ damage.

"Croak!!"

The golden fire toad, its eye damaged, was like a creature stricken hard. Rage emitted from its body, the fire burning on it even more fiercely and making the surrounding pool water sizzle.

"Pop!"

The toad glared furiously at the humans, its large mouth opened wide, and it spewed out a stream of dark green venom, pouring over the players.

"Damn, it’s a broad-ranged poisonous attack!"

"Big brother, run away quickly. It’ll be troublesome if the bubble bursts!"

Facing this large piece of poison, the players are beginning to retreat, anxiously gathering their gaze to the middle-aged player, waiting for his command.

"What are you panicking about? Stand your ground! I paid a lot for this underwater equipment; the bubbles are highly resilient and can withstand another hit like that!"

The middle-aged player was reassuring his team, but he never stopped digging with his hoe, trying to dig through the mud underneath.

...

Su Ran was hiding not far away, the player’s dialogues not missing a beat from his hearing. His face went through different emotions, a strange expression appeared on his cheekbones.

"Heh heh, dealing with these fellows will be simple, just puncture their bubbles and they’ll soon suffocate and die. Should I help the fire toad?"

Su Ran wrestled with this problem. He remembered when he was trapped in the swamp, the fire toad hadn’t attacked him, and he had managed to escape. Now, toad-bro was in trouble, he had to help!

"Forget it, I’ll wait until the time is ripe. Toad-bro, hold on a little longer!"

Su Ran thought inwardly, eyes fixated on the middle-aged player, trying to see what the guy was up to.

Though ultimately only a level 20 boss, the golden fire toad was fighting in its home, the swamp. Despite its powerful onslaught, these players were struggling to keep their formation, and their bubbles were looking hazy. On top of that, they had been poisoned by the toad. These combined complications were making it hard for them to deal with the fire toad BOSS.

"Croak! Croak!! Croak!!!"

The golden fire toad croaked successively, and the shield warrior’s face changed color.

"Damn, it’s calling for reinforcements!"

Having faced the fire toad BOSS before, the shield warrior had learned its skills, and he screamed anxiously, "Big brother, should we just hit and run? If the swamp fire toads start respawning, we wouldn’t be able to resist!"

"Stop your nonsense, defend our positions! We’re about to break through, don’t screw up at the last moment!"

The middle-aged player was now at a critical juncture. Gritting his teeth and with a determined look in his eyes, he furiously dug through the mud beneath his feet.

On the other hand, Su Ran, not far away, was filled with indecision. Should he intervene now? Letting these guys taste despair would be fun!
