Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 624 - 589: Mirage in the Sea City

A bizarre scene was unfolding, and it had already been going on for over half an hour.

The territory was floating in the sky, while players below were chasing after it. Such a grand spectacle was a first for the Dark Swamp, a beginner map. It had been a very long time since the Dark Swamp played host to so many players.

More and more players gathered, soon exceeding a million. Then, even more players joined in, forming a massive tide rushing forward with bustling energy. It was quite the spectacle!

The Dark Swamp’s thick grass was quickly trampled into mud, the ground shook from the stampede. After all, there is power in numbers, right?!

"Fuck, when will this floating land ever stop? Enraging to see it but not be able to get it!"

A player who had been running for a long time felt his spirit wane, and his irritation built. Unable to contain his frustration, he vented.

"Yeah, my legs are getting sore from running. This is no way to treat us~!"

"If this thing circles around the God-Demon Continent, we won’t be able to keep up even if we run until our legs break!"

...

Following the player’s words, there was unanimous agreement from those in the vicinity, deeply voicing their grievances.

However, more and more players were joining in, and their numbers kept increasing, becoming too many to count.

At that moment, they had to hang in, after all, this was a rare, golden opportunity! If they could seize even one good item, then all their efforts would be worthwhile!

With that belief, they continued to soldier on despite fatigue, exerting all their efforts and displaying the spirit of endurance, carrying on until the very end.

Meanwhile,

On Su Ran’s domain, Yin Si, who had remained silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Little skeleton, after the Floating Array combined, it now bears the power of a mirage. Should it be activated?"

"Mirage?"

"Damn it, activate it now!"

Su Ran was struggling with how to shake off the relentless army of players. Hearing Yin Si’s question, he couldn’t help feeling aggravated. Why didn’t he mention this ability earlier?

"This ability only has a ten-minute duration, and the cooldown time is a day. Do you think it would be enough if we used the mirage earlier?"

Seeming to understand Su Ran’s dissatisfaction, Yin Si calmly explained with a chuckle.

"Master Yin Si is indeed far-sighted. I misunderstood~!" freewebnøvel.com

Finally understanding Yin Si’s good intentions, Su Ran quickly admitted his error and signaled Yin Si to activate the mirage feature.

"No rush. Let them keep following for five more minutes. We have enough time."

hearing Yin Si’s confident words, Su Ran finally felt a weight lifted off his chest. Avoiding a large-scale war was indeed the best outcome. After all, war would not only expend resources but also burden people, which is never good.

Five minutes later, the army of players had continued to keep pace, no one had fallen behind. It was miraculous.

Then, Yin Si made his move. He held a brilliant light orb in his hand. And after a moment of trembling, it split into two, both indistinguishable. Then, under his remote control, the newly-formed orb drifted off into the distance, quickly disappearing from Su Ran’s view.

"Whoosh!"

With a distortion of light, Su Ran’s territory disappeared in a blink, then emerged to the right and behind the players. The hum of energy resonated constantly as it drifted in the opposite direction.

"Damn, the land just teleported!"

"Huh? Where did it go?"

"What do you mean ’huh’? Chase it!"

...

The players collectively changed course, rushing toward the rear-right. Soon, not a single player was left in sight. The Dark Swamp was suddenly empty, leaving behind trampled grass as evidence of the frenzied chase.

"Phew~ Finally, everyone’s gone!"

Finally feeling peace underneath him, Su Ran sighed in relief. He remained on his domain, slowly hovering forward using the power of the Floating Array.

Eventually, the vast territory floated into the Dark Swamp. In the swamp appeared a sparkly golden mountain peak. On this peak, there were twenty or so players climbing upwards, their spirits high, like they just found a treasure trove.

"Has anyone found this place?"

Su Ran was momentarily nonplussed, then finally understood. The Demonic Treasure Mountain was very conspicuous after all, sparkling gold, so it was strange that it didn’t attract players!

"Is this... the Demonic Treasure Mountain?!"

As an experienced merchant, Yin Si recognized the mountain’s true nature with one glance. Disbelieving, he moved a few steps forward for a closer look. After a detailed inspection, he exclaimed, "Little skeleton, don’t tell me, you brought this mountain here!"

The Ghost King Drought Fiend, who was seated on the altar, also stood abruptly. Much like Yin Si, he looked shocked. Even with the Demonic Treasure Mountain right in front of them, they found it hard to believe the reality.

How could this puny skeleton manage to bring such a massive treasure mountain?!

The fiend stared at Su Ran. There was a strange air about his gaze that lingered for a few seconds longer than usual.

Conversely, Su Ran felt uncomfortable under the Drought Fiend’s naked scrutiny.

"Master Yin Si, it was merely a fortunate coincidence that allowed me to bring this treasure mountain here. And as for why I placed the mountain here, it’s because there’s water surrounding the area below. After Senior Great White Shark revives..."

Su Ran was cut off mid-sentence and sneakily glanced at the Ghost King Drought Fiend. He continued, "After the Great White Shark revives, it will have a nice place to go. Don’t you agree?"

That was a close call! He almost revealed the Ghost Clan channel. If the Drought Fiend heard about it, he might dismantle this treasure mountain someday!

"Smart lad! You thought this through quite well. The Great White Shark can only exhibit its superior power in the water. Having a naval overlord guard the territory is indeed a great idea. Haha, hahaha!"

As he said this, Yin Si couldn’t help but burst into laughter, causing Su Ran to break out in cold sweat.

"Master Yin Si, lower your voice. If Senior Great White Shark hears us planning this, we’re going to be in trouble!"

"Don’t worry. He’s sealed in ice so he can’t even open his senses. Even if you kicked it, it wouldn’t know."

Yin Si gave Su Ran a meaningful smile, his words loaded with double meaning.

Su Ran immediately shut his mouth.

So he was discovered stomping on the ice block by this cunning merchant?!

"Little skeleton, remember, next time you’re done stomping, wipe your footprints off. Leaving them on the ice is too conspicuous."

Damn!

He forgot about that!!!

"Ahem, Master Yin Si, it’s all a misunderstanding. You might have seen it wrong. I am a well-behaved lord. I would never dare to commit such irreverence."

Su Ran quickly denied it, afraid that the cunning merchant would make trouble with the Great White Shark in the future. That would be a problem!
