Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 601 - 572: Cemetery Hidden in the Mountain Belly

After an inventory of the treasures from the chest, Su Ran felt relieved.

"Let’s go, Wang Cai, time for some exploration!"

With excitement flickering in his eyes, Su Ran rode on Wang Cai, leading a large group of summoned pets towards the depth of this space.

However,

Not long after Su Ran left, the ashes that had fallen into the pits suddenly ignited. Black flames flickered, giving off a chilling aura, which was extremely bizarre.

Regrettably, Su Ran didn’t notice the anomaly behind him and kept moving forward.

"Woof, woof!"

Thanks to Wang Cai’s agile body, it had a significant advantage, jumping around on the uneven ground, swiftly leaving the skeleton army behind.

"Something’s not right!"

As Wang Cai led them deeper, Su Ran felt the oppressive atmosphere growing stronger. Coupled with the obscured view due to the veil of darkness, his nerves involuntarily tensed.

"This place conceals danger, slow down little buddy, be careful there might be lurking monsters."

"Woof?"

Wang Cai looked at Su Ran quizzically. Why should they slow down when they were running well? Although it didn’t understand, it obeyed Su Ran’s command and its speed dropped instantly.

Rather than explaining to the dog, Su Ran thought it was better to detect the danger himself. He focused his attention on the surrounding rock walls, trying to find any anomalies.

"Click, click, click."

Because of Wang Cai’s reduced speed, the trailing Skeleton Army quickly caught up. With the summoned pets at his side, Su Ran felt considerably safer.

"That’s odd, there have been no other monsters after killing those little devils?"

While on their journey, Su Ran didn’t encounter a single monster. The area was eerily silent, without a hint of wind. The clear footsteps haunted him, leaving his uneasy heart on edge.

He knew that this space was inhabited by the Ghost Clan.

At this moment, however, he hadn’t seen a single ghost, leaving Su Ran uncertain. What was the purpose of this hidden terrain? How much danger was waiting for him?

Before the veil of mystery was lifted, any guesses were in vain.

With this in mind,

Su Ran decided not to waste any mental energy and proceeded to explore the depths with utmost caution.

"Whoosh."

A chilling gust of wind suddenly hit him, rustling his cloak.

"Huh?"

Su Ran looked above and realized the wind was coming from the top. But this was inside a mountain, isolated from the outside world. If sunlight couldn’t penetrate, where was this wind coming from?

Something strange was definitely up there!

However,

While Su Ran was deliberating, Wang Cai stopped in its tracks, frantically barking.

"What is... "

Through the veil of darkness, Su Ran looked ahead. The sight that met his eyes immediately transformed his expression.

They were facing a grave mound comparable to a small hill which exuded an intimidating aura. Overwhelmed by the pressure, Su Ran felt a strong urge to retreat.

"What a terrifying grave!!!"

Crying out in surprise, Su Ran dismounted from Wang Cai, bracing himself against the powerful aura while rushing towards the grave.

"If you die, you are dead. It’s your fault if you’re in my way!" frёeωebɳovel.com

"Dare to give me trouble? You must have been spoiled in life! Don’t even ask who I am, a gravedigger! You, I dug at least eight hundred of your kind if not a thousand!"

While speaking, Su Ran pulled out his grave-digging tool, a beginner’s hoe. With the hoe in hand, his momentum increased. Su Ran’s eyes gleamed at the sight of the grave mound, which to him was as delectable as a giant cake, holding a potential value equivalent to that of a large treasure chest!

A little suppression? Don’t fear. Let’s see how it goes with this hoe in my hand!

As the saying goes,

The reasonable fear the unreasonable, the irrational fear the reckless.

Under Su Ran’s clamor, the terrifying aura from the grave gradually diminished, reducing the grave to an ordinary mound. It seemed as if the threatening aura of the mound had been subdued by the skeleton brandishing a hoe.

Witnessing all this, Su Ran was utterly astonished. The grave mound held an uncanny sentience that impressed him!

Due to this, Su Ran’s desire to dig up this grave intensified.

"Huh? Where’s the tombstone?"

Su Ran effortlessly reached the foot of the large mound, circling it. But he didn’t find a tombstone. In his view, such a formidable tomb must’ve belonged to someone significant, perhaps a regional despot. Shouldn’t there be some form of an inscription to inspire awe in others?

As soon as this thought surfaced, Su Ran dismissed it. This place, concealed within the belly of a mountain, was so remote that it could stay undisturbed for ten thousand years. If he hadn’t happened upon it, who knows how long this tomb would’ve lain undisturbed!

However,

As Su Ran focused on the peculiar grave mound, he completely overlooked his pet, Wang Cai.

At this moment, Wang Cai seemed to have discovered something extremely horrifying. It dared not approach further, tail between its legs, limbs trembling. It tried to bark but no sound came out, it merely whimpered, anxiously glancing at Su Ran.

Animals truly had a sixth sense.

In contrast, Su Ran’s summoned pets—Dark Bone Lion, Sand Puppet, and Bronze Skeleton—had no reaction and kept moving, coming to Su Ran’s side quickly. They circled around the mound obediently, guarding Su Ran’s safety.

The best part about summoned creatures was their inability to sense supernatural threats or pressures. Despite their lack of a brain, nerves, sensation or a physical body, they just didn’t care!

Isn’t that annoying?

"Oh great system, please give me the Demon Flame Key quickly. The penalty for this quest is truly intolerable..."

After earnestly praying once more, Su Ran turned his attention back to the grave and began to dig vigorously with his hoe.

"Bang!"

As the hoe went down, an unfortunate thing happened.

"Whoosh~whoosh~"

All of a sudden, a wild wind rose, howling and bearing toward Su Ran with a ferocity that hit him like a heavy hammer, sending him flying.

"No good!"

Caught off guard by the attack, Su Ran tensed instantly and used the hoe to shield his chest, hoping to reduce the damage caused by the violent wind.

"Bang!"

Under the onslaught of the brutal wind, Su Ran was smacked hard into a wall. Not just Su Ran, all his summoned pets were scattered by the wind as well, tumbling onto the ground.

However,

Once Su Ran and his pets were forced away from the mound by the gust, the wind stopped abruptly, and once more, the eerie silence fell, shrouded in darkness.
