Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 610 - 580: Corpse Bone Centipede

"Huff, huff!"

The Corpse Centipede was munching on the body of a crimson bat, completely unsuspecting of Su Ran behind it, leaving its back exposed to him.

"Seriously? You just got here and you’re already trying to snatch the corpse from me? That’s pretty low, even for you!"

Su Ran complained. For him, the boss’s corpse was a treasure, it could be converted into an advanced skeleton in the Magic Camp!

Next, Su Ran redirected his efforts towards the large ant carcass. He sprinted over, and before the Corpse Centipede realized, he had stuffed the corpse into his bladder.

"Woof woof!"

Wang Cai’s dog-face grew serious as he began barking relentlessly at the Corpse Centipede, acting hostile towards strangers. If it weren’t for Su Ran tugging at his mane, he would have charged at it already. It was clear that the Corpse Centipede’s actions had angered Wang Cai. Why should it benefit from something he had fought so hard to kill?

Su Ran was speechless. He really wanted to ask Wang Cai why he was so cowardly in front of the Ghost King before, but now he was acting all brave.

Forget it; there was no point in arguing with a dog.

Su Ran quickly picked up the equipment on the ground. If the Corpse Centipede started eating that too, the loss would be even greater!

A few moments passed.

After the Corpse Centipede finished munching on the corpse, it surprisingly let out a belch. Following this, it made a turn and began crawling towards Su Ran.

"Woof woof woof!"

Wang Cai’s barking became more intense. His fangs were showing, and even foam was starting to appear at the corners of his mouth. It was evident that the centipede had infuriated him. If it weren’t for Su Ran’s strong grip, he would have pounced on it.

"Calm down, little guy!"

Su Ran, unable to control him, had to forcefully throw Wang Cai into the pet space. Only then did his ears get a chance to rest.

Although Su Ran couldn’t tell whether the Corpse Centipede was happy or angry, by its calm crawling speed, he inferred it bore no ill intentions towards him.

"So, uh, bro, is bat meat tasty?"

Feeling the situation was a bit awkward under the Corpse Centipede’s dominating gaze, Su Ran found a topic to lighten the atmosphere, showcasing his skills in making small talk.

"Hiss hiss..."

The Corpse Centipede’s head wasn’t very big. It stretched its head in front of Su Ran’s face, curiously peeking into his bladder. It leaned forward, almost poking inside.

"Oh man!"

Su Ran held back the centipede’s head and quickly stepped back. Damn! This was definitely not suitable for children!

Startled, Su Ran almost wet himself, his legs involuntarily clenching together, forming an X shape.

"Hiss hiss..."

The Corpse Centipede crawled a few steps forward, shortening the distance between them. It stretched out a limb, pointing at Su Ran’s crotch and then pointing at its own head, as if scared that Su Ran wouldn’t understand, it repeated this action three to four times.

"You mean, you want the carcass of that giant ant?"

Su Ran asked uncertainly, his voice echoing his confusion.

The Corpse Centipede nodded, its front limbs rubbing together in anticipation, hoping that Su Ran would throw out the carcass.

Seeing this, Su Ran knew how to make the centipede lead him to the Ghost King...

But then, would it be a bit dishonest to do so?

From his perspective, a virtual game character was also a life. Moreover, under the influence of friendliness, the centipede seemed to consider him a friend. There was no way he could lure it to its death! Su Ran just couldn’t do it!

Seeing the skeleton centipede exhibiting such intelligence and showing no hostility towards him, Su Ran had entertained the idea of giving up the mission at that moment.

In the game, although Su Ran’s character was sleazy, deep down he was loyal and valued friendships. The game’s NPC might just be data, but they were easier to interact with than players. These characters had no intention of bullying or backstabbing.

Take the cunning merchant for example, who, despite his sneaky ways, would never betray a friend. Or the old beggar who left his retreat to save a dog’s life, swearing allegiance to an insignificant undead character—what a high level of integrity! Then there was the butler, and others...

Su Ran could not think anymore.

"Forget it, I can’t be the bad guy. As for this mission... I can only play it by ear."

Su Ran pulled out an ant’s corpse and fed it to the skeletal centipede waiting on the side as a way of appeasing the guilt gnawing at his conscience. The thought of the punishment he would face if the mission failed and the super BOSS came hunting made Su Ran’s head throb.

"Hiss hiss..."

The skeletal centipede sprang forward and cheerfully began feasting on the dead body on the ground, watching this sight made Su Ran’s heart ache.

Su Ran no longer wanted to watch. He climbed over the massive body of the centipede, went to where the bat had fallen, collected several pieces of equipment but after discovering that it was all junk, he lost interest.

"Up next... The platform with the golden treasure chest!"

Su Ran’s gaze landed on a platform not too far off. Almost blinded by the seven or eight golden treasure chests, considering he had already killed the guardian beast guarding the chests, there should be no dangers left.

As he anticipated, nothing dangerous happened when Su Ran touched the golden treasure chest.

Subsequently, he carefully rummaged through the golden treasure chests and was frustrated to find that all of them were locked and couldn’t be opened without a key. He even tried stuffing them into his storage space but to no avail. Eventually, he gave up frustrated.

Su Ran sighed, reluctantly looked at the dazzling golden chests a few more times, quite unwilling. He had already realized the importance of a key. Without a key, even the best treasure chest was just for show. Being in sight of treasures but unable to obtain them, wasn’t it torture?!

Dammit!

Su Ran angrily jumped down from the platform. The sight of these golden chests had irritated him to the point that he could no longer stay. He turned around, glanced at the skeletal centipede happily munching on the corpse, and silently bid it farewell. With a determined mind, Su Ran walked towards the tunnel he had just dug, planning to abandon the mission once he returned. In the worst case scenario, he’ll openly expose Ghost King Drought Fiend, the ghost should give him some face!

Perhaps, that Demon Flame Key would come into his possession...

With a shred of hope, Su Ran went to find the Ghost King.

Soon, he followed the tunnel back into the previous spatial cavern, approaching the meditating Ghost King who had transformed into a Boss.

"Little skeleton lad, you’re back."

Sensing Su Ran’s arrival, Ghost King canceled his meditating state, stood up, and with a friendly gaze, looked at Su Ran.

"Senior, I’m back."

Seeing Ghost King’s hopeful eyes, Su Ran hesitated. He then, with determination in his eyes, spoke seriously to Ghost King: "Senior, I’ve decided to abandon this mission!" fгeewebnovёl.com

"Abandon?"

Ghost King’s complexion instantly turned gloomy. A strong wave of power surged from his body, pressuring Su Ran. "Little skeleton, eat your meal properly, speak politely. You know the consequences of your choice are... Huh? Little skeleton, are you joking with me? Didn’t you do a good job on the mission?"

Su Ran was taken aback by Ghost King’s sudden change of topic. Following Ghost King’s gaze, he looked behind himself and froze in shock.

The skeletal centipede, with more than half a corpse in its mouth, was struggling to crawl up the newly formed tunnel, following after him.

"No~~~ Run!!!"
