Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 585 - 560: Tricked Badly

While the bubble still had some resilience, the middle-aged player ignored the Undead skeleton and kept digging forcefully downwards. Su Ran admired his stubborn persistence.

"Well, have it your way then!" Su Ran sighed.

A ball of ice formed again in Su Ran’s hand, and with a whoosh, it shot through the barrier of the swamp pool towards the middle-aged player.

"Bang!"

Just as the player’s hoe struck the mud, something out of ordinary finally happened.

A grayish light burst out from beneath the hoe, pierced through his body, crossed the swamp pool, and shot into the sky.

A phenomenon like this surely indicated a huge change was at hand!

"Indeed, it was only a hoe away!" Seeing this, the middle-aged player was filled with ecstasy.

Not at all taking into account Su Ran’s attack, the player swung his hoe once more. But alas, things didn’t go as planned.

"Boom!"

The ice bullet Su Ran shot hit the guy’s body. The bubble shook intensely but didn’t burst. This showed that the bubble shield on this guy was much more advanced than the others’.

However, frost quickly enveloped the middle-aged player turning him into a block of ice, frozen in place. His ecstatic expression was clear to see, and the half-swung hoe was also frozen mid-air.

"Ha-ha, how lucky, I inflicted a frozen state! Sorry, buddy, the treasure under here won’t belong to you!"

While the bloke was immobilized, Su Ran continually attacked him with an array of ice bullets and thunder strikes. At this moment, the electric net which was restraining the Swamp Fire Toads disappeared, freeing them to ferociously attack this motionless block of ice.

Within a very short period, the bubble protecting the player shattered. Before the water pressure could reach him, he had already died on the spot due to the barrage of attacks, his iced body shattering into pieces.

This poor middle-aged player didn’t even know how he died until the very end. Ironically, the hoe he was holding till the very end exploded and fell on the ground.

"Ribbit, Ribbit!"

After the player was killed, the golden fire toad shook off the mud attached to its body, gave a few excited croaks and departed after looking gratefully at Su Ran.

"Thankfully, this toad knows friend from foe. No more fighting is necessary."

After the golden fire toad left, Su Ran quickly walked over carrying his Bone Scythe. He wanted to know what exactly was hidden in the crevice from where the ray of light had burst out.

Was it a treasure? Or, was it some captured boss monster?

Curiosity was killing Su Ran. In just a few strides, he reached the pit. The grey light reflected on his own skeleton and after waiting for a bit and feeling no harm whatsoever, Su Ran finally relaxed.

"Fortune favors the brave. Dig!"

Having taken the decision, Su Ran kicked away the hoe lying on the ground and, holding his beginner’s hoe in one hand, he started digging.

There was no choice, he had to keep his Blood Crystal Bone Scythe handy with him. This feeling...it was so awkward!

"Clang, Clang!"

Thanks to Su Ran’s relentless efforts, the size of the crevice kept expanding, and the grey light turned into a huge pillar of light. Meanwhile, a series of system alerts left Su Ran thoroughly stunned.

"Ding! Player Skeleton’s wanton digging has opened up a passage to the Ghost World. Numerous evil ghosts are about to break free, and the God-Demon Continent is headed for the greatest disaster in its history!"

"Ding! Player Skeleton has crossed the boundaries of both the Demon World and the Celestial Realm by opening the Ghost World’s cage. Reputation in the Demon World -10000, Reputation in the Celestial Realm -10000!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Player Skeleton, on unlocking the rare achievement ’Greatest of All Sins!’ Special award: Qi Blood -100, Defence -10!"

"Ding! Player Skeleton opened up the Ghost World map, Ghost World Reputation +10000, and has been awarded the title of ’Ghost World Envoy!’"

System Announcement: "Ding! Player Skeleton has opened the Ghost World map and the game will be forcibly closed in 30 minutes for a system upgrade. Please check the game forum for details."

...

What an upheaval!

Players worldwide were stimulated by the contents of the system announcement.

"Holy cow! This player named Skeleton is freaking awesome! He made the system forcibly shut down the server!!!"

"Skeleton, man, where are you? I want to ask you about life!"

"Ghost World map, just thinking about it is so exciting! I want to catch a ghost pet, it’s so fun!"

"Isn’t the one above me a bit twisted? As for me, I’ll catch a mount and ride a ghost around every day!"

The conversation went off-topic, the following 200 lines have been omitted...

"Don’t get excited too soon. The appearance of the Ghost World on the God-Demon Continent might not be good news!"

"The equilateral stability between the three realms will be disrupted on the God-Demon Continent. Wait for the war to start!"

"Don’t overthink it; it’s just a game. Even with an additional leveling location, it’s dividing the players. Isn’t that a good thing? Idiots!"

All the players in the world channel began making a commotion. Some even abandoned fighting the bosses and started a verbal battle in the chat.

But the one caught in the center of this event, Su Ran, was cursing his heart out.

This was a huge trap!

Where was the promised treasure? The promised Boss?

With watery eyes, Su Ran lamented. He never thought that he, of all people, would fall into a trap set by some player. Although that player might not have known about the severe consequences...

From this, it was clear that this hidden mission was a disgusting scheme by the remnants of the Ghost Clan!

"Dammit, what in the world is this ’Greatest of All Sins’ achievement? It actually reduces attributes?"

Seeing this, Su Ran was stunned. He was already rather weak, and reducing his Qi Blood by 100 was like adding frost to snow.

This was the first time that Su Ran had been duped to the point of losing his temper.

"Hee hee hee..."

There was nothing but grayish mist in the hole beneath. Su Ran knew that jumping down from here meant entering the territory of the Ghost World. An eerie, haunting laugh could be heard emanating from below, getting nearer and nearer, which meant that the ghosts had probably already found the passageway and were rushing up.

"Hee your head off, you oversized bitch!"

When the laughter from the ghosts hit the already irritated Su Ran, he was seething with rage and declared, "Since I am now famous because of you, am I am just going to let you escape from right under my nose? In your dreams!"

The furious Su Ran, swinging his Bone Scythe, quickly came out of the water surface and shouted at the swamp pool below, "Demonic Treasure Mountain, rise!"

"Boom!"

A golden treasure mountain descended from the sky and came crashing on the vast swamp pool.

"Ribbit, Ribbit!"

Golden Fire Toad, leading his group of little toads, fled frantically towards the shore as if the end of the world had come, filling the boss with utter despair.

A loud rumble followed, and a large amount of mud splashed all around, causing a rain of mud on the shore. This dispersed the dense cloud of corpse poison mosquitoes, whose buzzing faded quickly as they fled far into the distance. In no time, flowers of mud bloomed on the ground one after the other.

Only then did Su Ran realize how crazy a step he had taken!
