Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 740 - 665 Mysterious NPC (Two in One)_2

[Life Core] (Dungeon Item)

The soul core of the Magic Sky Snake, shattering the Life Core will scatter the creature’s soul, use with caution.

Note: The Life Core will disappear once you leave the dungeon.

"So that’s how it is. No wonder each attack on the Life Core makes the snake wail. This stone is its Life Core!"

Su Ran had an epiphany and casually tossed the Life Core into his pouch. He had a strong premonition that this thing would definitely come in handy in the upcoming dungeon tasks!

Soon, Su Ran returned to the phantom beast cloud pool with the auspicious clouds, dropping down from the sky with a leap. Looking at the expectant eyes of his teammates, Su Ran let out a bitter laugh and shook his head,"Couldn’t catch it, that bag’s flight speed was just too fast!"

As for the appearance of the mysterious NPC, Su Ran didn’t say anything. He didn’t have any clues at the moment, so mentioning it would only cause unnecessary concern.

"Ah, what a pity!"

Everyone showed disappointment, but they quickly let it go. The bag was so fast that it would be strange if they were able to catch it.

"Overturning Water, hurry up and bring out the treasure for us to see~!"

Youtong immediately went to Su Ran with a yearning look on her face, wanting to know what kind of treasure was hidden in the Magic Sky Snake’s lair that had enraged it to such a degree.

"It’s just a golden treasure chest, nothing special."

Su Ran pulled the golden treasure chest from between his legs and displayed it before everyone. They were all used to his unique way of pulling out equipment.

"Overturning Water, open it and see if there’s a Secret Realm Horn in it. If not, it would be a total waste. Now that the Magic Sky Snake has disappeared, this task can’t be performed."

The sweet-looking man’s eyes were locked on the golden chest, feeling slightly excited. Not just him, even the peaceful Gu Yue had gathered around, showing just how captivating this golden treasure chest was.

"Alright, let’s witness this miraculous moment together!"

After saying that, Su Ran forcefully lifted the lid of the chest, and it sprung open.

"Aha, the Secret Realm Horn is indeed inside!"

"Great, we can hand in the task now!"

"Wow, look, there are so many Wishing Beads in here, one, two... ah haha, exactly five!"

Youtong snatched up the treasure chest and quickly sorted through its contents, distributing the five Wishing Beads to everyone. She was overjoyed and said:" We hit the jackpot with this dungeon run and got two Wishing Beads, I’m so happy!"

"Little Tong, you’re quite something. Overturning Water risked his life to get this golden chest, and you’ve already decided to distribute it before he said anything."

Gu Yue looked at Youtong with a teasing smile, interested to see how she would reply.

"What’s the big deal? Overturning Water is so nice, he would’ve done the same, right, Overturning Water?"

Youtong didn’t take it seriously. She tried to grab Su Ran’s arm, but he dodged her subtly.

"Little Tong, I don’t want Big Smoke to hold a grudge against me, let’s leave the personal attacks out of it."

Su Ran chuckled, then changed the subject, "There’s still stuff in there that hasn’t been taken out, let’s see if there are any other treasures."

"Hmm... two golden healing potions, two mana potions, one agility potion, five gold coins, wow, and a spear!"

Youtong pushed the gold coins and stuff onto Su Ran, hinting him to put them away, as there was no need to divide these small items.

Su Ran hesitated for a moment when he took these potions, but he didn’t offer any explanation and put them into his pouch.

"Little Tong, quickly see, what level is that weapon?"

Big Smoke moved closer, his eyes locked on this uniquely crafted spear, full of anticipation. He was the only Berserker in the entire team, so if any top tier weapon came up, it would definitely be his.

"In your dreams! It’s just a common silver weapon, were you expecting an artifact from an elite dungeon?"

Youtong glanced at Big Smoke and thrust the spear into Su Ran’s arms, saying with a smile,"A level 40 silver weapon is worth a lot, Overturning Water, you better keep it."

Su Ran didn’t refuse and took the spear. When he returned to his territory, he would exchange it for resources.

"Let’s go, back to Cloud City to turn in the tasks!"

The sweet-looking man took the Secret Realm Horn and led everyone towards Cloud City.

"Overturning Water, are you troubled by something?"

On the way, seeing Su Ran silent with his eyes downcast, Gu Yue walked over to him and softly asked.

"It’s nothing, I’m just kind of upset that the Magic Sky Snake escaped. I have a feeling something big is about to happen."

Su Ran voiced his doubts, feeling much relieved afterwards.

"Don’t get too caught up, just follow the task hints, you can’t go wrong."

Gu Yue said with a smile, "Even if there’s any change, we face it together. Don’t shoulder all the responsibility by yourself, it’s too exhausting."

"Hmm, maybe I overcomplicated the instance, causing myself to miss out. It’s better to just take it step by step."

Su Ran’s voice became much lighter, and his mood also became brighter.

As for the NPC wrapped in black cloth, it was like a lingering ghost in his mind, impossible to shake off.

Cloud City, the lord’s mansion.

"Brave warriors, welcome back!"

The city lord’s loud voice rang out timely, noted the expressions of the crowd, and somewhat uncertainly asked, "Have you...found the Secret Realm Horn?"

"City lord, we have brought back the Secret Realm Horn safely as you entrusted us to!"

The good-looking young man handed over the horn, his eyes full of excitement. This was the first time he completed the task of the Magic Sky Snake. With such a difficult task completed, who knew what kind of reward he would get!

"Hahaha, good, good, good!"

The city lord laughed heartily, his laughter penetrating through the walls, spreading outside.

"The people are safe, this is great news worth celebrating for the whole city! You have brought great meritorious service! Second brother, second brother, come over, I have something to say!"

Su Ran was silent, carefully observing the city lord’s physical features and changes in his eyes, quickly ruling him out as a suspect.

"City lord, are there only three of you brothers left in Cloud City?"

Before the second in charge arrived, Su Ran abruptly posed the question to the city lord, sounding slightly anxious.

Everyone looked at Su Ran in confusion, not knowing the deeper meaning behind his question.

"Hmm, it’s not a secret. There are only three of us left in Cloud City!"

The city lord took a deep look at Su Ran, and said solemnly.

Only the three of them...

That narrows the list of suspects!

So, that mysterious NPC wrapped in black cloth was either the second brother or the third brother who we haven’t met yet!

"Overturning Water, what’s wrong?"

The good-looking young man moved closer to Su Ran, whispering, knowing that Su Ran was not one to act aimlessly.

"We’ll discuss it later, I’m not sure yet."

Su Ran softly replied, his gaze shifting to the entrance, waiting for the second brother’s arrival.

"Rush, rush, rush."

The panicked footsteps grew louder, and a muscular man holding double axes rushed in, and exclaimed, "Big brother, what happened, did any proble...why you guys again!"

"Stop it, keep your weapons down. The warriors have safely brought back the Secret Realm Horn, they are the great heroes!"

The city lord said somewhat irritably, "Always so reckless, when can I trust you!"

Second brother furrowed his eyebrows but didn’t say anything further, obediently putting away his axes.

"According to the timeline, our third brother should have finished his promotion. Go, let him come over, let us three brothers free the people together!"

The city lord waved his hand, urging him to come back quickly.

Second brother nodded, not paying any attention to Su Ran and the others, and turned to leave.

Looking at the muscular man’s back, Su Ran was filled with doubts. In his opinion, the man in front of him was the most suspicious, but his build didn’t match at all. The NPC wrapped in black cloth was thin and tall, completely dissimilar to the man in front of him!

Strange indeed!

Could it possibly be... the never-before-seen third brother was the most suspicious one?

The situation was far from simple, and the Cloud City instance was shrouded in heavy fog!
