Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 752 - 675: Big Explosion

"Damn, so many ants?! We’re done for, this is really adding fuel to the fire!"

The sudden appearance of a multitude of ants gave Great Smoker quite the scare. Just as he was about to swing his iron cudgel, Su Ran stopped him.

"Smoker, hold your fire! These are allies!"

"Allies? Are you still half-asleep?"

Great Smoker had never visited the ant den, and naturally, he didn’t know what had unfolded there. To him, it seemed like a new wave of calamity was descending. He didn’t dare to take the gamble and, to avoid being surrounded by the ants, he ran for his life. He quickly fled into the deepest part of the room.

Unexpectedly, it turned out exactly as Overturning Water had said, the ants didn’t attack the team. Under the guidance of the golden emperor ant, they ferociously attacked the city owner boss.

"Overturning Water, who knew these golden ants could be so useful!"

Baby Face turned to Su Ran with a thrilled look. "You really pulled it off! Completing a side quest has brought us such a tremendous advantage. No wonder no one has been able to clear this elite-level dungeon yet, the strategy is right here!"

"Every boss in a dungeon exists for a reason. This golden ant took my crown; now it’s paying back a favor."

Su Ran casually said, subconsciously feeling that the ant’s help was expected.

Accidentally, Su Ran had stumbled upon the plot twist of the dungeon, something he hadn’t anticipated. Instantly, he let go of his resentment towards the golden ant. The crime of stealing his crown was now compensated for in his eyes.

"Hey, Overturning Water, where did all these ants come from? We’ve been walking in this maze for half a day and haven’t seen a single ant. Quite strange."

Baby Face asked curiously, she was quite stunned by the multitude of ants and found it somewhat hard to believe.

"That’s because you were on the right path, so you didn’t encounter any danger. If you don’t believe me, take a detour and see what happens."

With that said, Su Ran turned his attention to the pitiful city leader, curious to see how much of a fight he could put up under these circumstances.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The teeming army of ants drove the city leader into a corner, leaving him nowhere to run. After he let out a bitter shriek, he was swallowed up by the swarm of ants. His wretched cries brought satisfaction to everyone.

However, while Baby Face and the others were all focusing on the city leader, they hadn’t noticed the strange behavior of Wu Laoer.

"This truly is the wheel of karma..."

Wu Laoer muttered under his breath, looking at the golden ant with a combination of reminiscence and excitement, his facial expression considerably relaxed.

In a short while, the swarm of ants had whittled away the city owner’s health to nothing, and he fell to the ground, dropping a flurry of equipment.

"Ha ha ha, epic loot! That feels so good!"

Great Smoker had played online games for so long, but this was the first time he saw loot dropping like a shower of blossoming heavenly lady. He burst out in laughter and was about to rush over, but suddenly stopped in his tracks. The ground in front of him was full of ants. How could he pick up the loot amongst all of them?!

"All the bosses have been killed, so why don’t they leave? Are they planning on spending the New Year here?"

Faced with such a wealth of tempting equipment, Great Smoker was anxious to the point of stamping his foot. He kept praying in his heart, hoping that the ant ancestors would leave quickly. It was not easy to get this loot drop; he didn’t want it to be refreshed by the system again...

"Baby Face, what should we do if we can’t get the loot?"

Not only was Great Smoker worried, but even Youtong began to shout out in anxiety, she didn’t even have time to observe the expression on Wu Laoer’s face, the equipment was all that mattered!

"Let’s wait for the storyline to end. Don’t worry, whatever is meant to be ours, will always be ours."

Baby Face seemed quite calm. This was a dungeon, and there was no one else to compete for the equipment with them. What was there to worry about?

Obviously, she had forgotten that the golden ant was a professional loot thief...

"Overturning Water, why do you seem a bit unhappy?"

Through that ornamental mask, Baby Face could sense something was off about Su Ran, "The strongest boss has been defeated, shouldn’t you be happy?"

"Didn’t you notice? The experience from the boss was stolen! After fighting for so long, we didn’t get any experience. These ants are really unreasonable!"

Su Ran said seriously, his tone filled with bitterness, as if he had been wronged greatly. He was quite disappointed with these ants.

"..."

Baby Face had nothing to say. The ant army had joined the fight and helped clear the dungeon, leaving behind all the equipment. Was it wrong for them to take some experience points?

Talk about taking a mile when given an inch!

"Little Gold, welcome home!"

At that moment, Wu Laoer stepped forward, revealing a mild smile. He put away his two axes, extended his arms and welcomed the swarm of ants.

The swarm parted, and a golden ant emerged, carrying an object shaped like bull horns. It advanced towards Wu Laoer.

"Damn, the Secret Realm Horn has been taken by the ant!"

Great Smoker had been eyeing the loot, and when he saw the object held by the ant, he ceased to be calm.

"Stop yelling! That’s clearly a dungeon item. Even if you could bring it to the God-Demon Continent, it would be useless. Better save your strength!"

Youtong came to Great Smoker’s side and rolled her eyes at him.

Great Smoker laughed awkwardly, keeping his mouth shut.

"Little Gold, long time no see, you’ve become an emperor!"

Wu Laoer walked up, grabbed the Secret Realm Horn and threw it into his satchel. He stroked the golden ant’s antennae with his hand. "Little Gold, would you be willing to follow me to rule Cloud City, protecting the tens of thousands of people living here?"

The golden ant stared at Wu Laoer, seemingly in a state of confusion, probably not understanding why it, a mere ant, would have any connection to the people of the city.

To put it bluntly, why the hell would it care?

However, due to the plot arrangement of the dungeon, the golden ant became Wu Laoer’s pet without any dispute. Even the several hundred ants were now under Wu Laoer’s command, to everyone’s delight.

"I’m so jealous, able to obtain a high-level pet by just sweet-talking, even gifted with hundreds of followers. That’s seriously awesome!"

Watching the scene unfold before him, Great Smoker couldn’t help but express his admiration. Then he shouted to Wu Laoer, "Old Second... Sir, please ask your ants to move aside, we haven’t picked up the equipment yet!"

"From now on in Cloud City, there is no Big Brother or Third Brother. I am the master of Cloud City. Warrior, please mind your language."

Wu Laoer’s face grew somber, as he spoke in an annoyed tone.

"Oh my, as soon as he got promoted, he started acting like an official. Isn’t that a bit too realistic?"

Great Smoker was a bit unaccustomed to Wu Laoer’s abrupt change of tone. But since he needed a favor from Wu Laoer, he couldn’t afford to complain, so he chose to keep silent.

"Just shut up! Is it going to kill you to speak less?!"

Youtong felt that Great Smoker had embarrassed her enough. If he angered this newly-appointed city leader, they would be attacked by a massive swarm of ants. Who could withstand that?
