Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 707 - 650: Ant Queen’s Nest (Two-in-One)

"Xiaosheng Jie, is this the right way? It feels so creepy."

Despite her fearless nature, Youtong had become somewhat unsure in this maze, her voice a bit weaker than usual. She closely followed Xiaosheng Jie, worried about being left behind.

"As long as we don’t encounter any danger, we’re on the right path!"

Xiaosheng Jie, however, remained determined, striding confidently forward.

"Xiaosheng Jie, there’s no way forward!"

In this eerily silent, cold atmosphere, Gu Yue lost her tranquility. Revealing a woman’s delicate nature, she pointed anxiously at the tightly-packed rock wall in front of them. "Overturning Water is nowhere to be seen, what are we going to do?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll shoot Overturning Water a message."

Su Ran’s directions to Xiaosheng Jie ended here. But the message she sent to Overturning Water was swallowed up, leaving her heart pounding. Fear filled her heart at the prospect of no guidance. She held back the urge to scream out, to release the pressure building up in her.

However, Xiaosheng Jie didn’t allow the fear to get the best of her. She reassured the two women with a gentle voice, "There’s no need to panic. This is just a game, it’s not life-threatening. Let’s be meticulous, to see if Overturning Water has left us any signs. It’s likely that there’s a teleportation circle or a secret passage. It might lead to the next level."

"Xiaosheng Jie, let’s look together. I don’t want to be alone, I’d ...I’d die of fright."

As Youtong carefully studied the surroundings, she saw in her minds-eye a headless corpse suddenly falling in front of her, or something grabbing her foot. Goosebumps sprouted all over her body at the thought and she involuntarily shivered.

"Alright, there’s strength in numbers. Let’s start searching from here. Let’s not miss any suspicious spots."

After saying this, Xiaosheng Jie led the team in a diligent search for anything out of place. The three encouraged each other, working efficiently.

"Xiaosheng Jie, quick look! There’s a pile of dirt in that corner!"

An excited Youtong called out as if she had discovered a new continent, pointing towards a small, unremarkable pile of dirt.

"Dirt?"

Initially taken aback, Xiaosheng Jie’s eyes brightened. She led the group to the wall, touching the small pile of dirt.

"It’s still wet. This dirt must have fallen recently!"

The sensation under her fingertips was relayed to Xiaosheng Jie, who shared her excitement with her mates, boosting their morale.

"Ha! I knew it. How could there be dirt on this cloud-covered ground? Something’s going on with this wall!"

Youtong perked up, feeling more hopeful. The fear she had felt dissipated significantly. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"It’s probably a hidden door. Youtong, dig it out!"

"Easy peasy! With my Level-5 mining skills, this wall will not stand a chance!"

Youtong’s profession in-game was mining. Although she had previously failed to mine the Fine Gold Stone with Su Ran at the volcano, she firmly believed in her ability.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Youtong brandished her Level-30 Black Iron pickaxe. She hadn’t had the time to replace it after she leveled up to 40, but it was more than sufficient for the current landscape.

However,

After much effort, Youtong hadn’t managed to even make a dent in the wall. After a while, she gave up, threw down her pickaxe and sat down to catch her breath.

"Hmm, who was it that said this wall is as good as gone? Come on, you’ve just given up?"

Xiaosheng Jie teased Youtong while trying not to laugh. She felt sorry for Youtong; that was a fast flip.

"Xiaosheng Jie, stop making fun of me. The wall is as hard as an iron board, who can mine through it!"

After speaking, Youtong buried her face in her arms, not wanting to show her face.

"Xiaosheng Jie, stop teasing Youtong. We need to keep searching. Perhaps there’s a mechanism on this wall. We can’t afford to waste time, Overturning Water is still trapped!"

Gu Yue interjected, walking over to the wall and began carefully inspecting it.

"I suppose we should. Youtong, get up. We need your help."

Xiaosheng Jie grabbed Youtong by the arm, pulling her to her feet. The three of them started probing the wall for the imagined secret mechanism.

...

Su Ran cautiously walked through the pitch-black corridor, trying to locate the golden ant. Underneath the veil of darkness, she was scared. However, the presence of Wang Cai eased her tension somewhat.

"Weird, where’s the ant? It disappeared so quickly?"

Ahead, she saw nothing but darkness. Su Ran murmured in confusion, feeling as if she’d fallen into a trap. She became wary, not daring to use a torch in case she attracted attention.

After what seemed like an eternity, a glimmer of light appeared from far away. This ray of hope was like a beacon on her path, making Su Ran feel elated, and she thought, finally I can leave this godforsaken place!
