Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 816 - 738: Headshot

Could it be...

The fisherman, seeing that the robed youth didn’t seem at all uncomfortable in the water and was even able to speak with composure, along with the mocking tone, abruptly felt a sense of foreboding and his eyes were filled with surprise and suspicion.

This is bad, I’ve been tricked!

Run!!!

The fisherman, no longer wanting to tangle with Su Ran, held his breath for the last time and, using his arms and legs together, swam rapidly towards the surface, causing waves and ripples.

"Ha-ha, uncle, you’ve come all this way, why the rush to go back? Come take a stroll with me on the ocean floor, it’s not too late to leave after that! Just look at the beautiful seascape, colorful deep-sea fish floating with the currents, and swaying seaweed, it’s truly intoxicating!"

Su Ran felt no pressure from the water and easily outswam the fisherman. In no time, he was already above the fisherman and, before the man could resist, Su Ran threw an ice arrow that blasted onto the fisherman’s body.

"Bang!" "-580" (Lucky Crit)

"Nice, the knockdown effect has been triggered!"

Seeing the fisherman uncontrollably sinking backward, Su Ran already knew that this was the effect of the Ice Burst special ability that came with the sickle!

Not triggering a freezing effect was within reason, but triggering a knockdown effect was unexpected.

"Hey, uncle fisherman, it seems you’re going to meet your end in these waters today!"

Su Ran laughed heartily and pulled out a heavy coffin, covering the fisherman’s head with it and striking him down to the ocean floor.

"Slam!"

As the knockdown effect hadn’t worn off, the fisherman could only watch helplessly as the ominous coffin trapped him inside and heavily dropped him onto the seabed.

Su Ran jumped on top of the coffin, feeling a bit insecure, so he took out nearly ten coffins and piled them all on top of this one. Once he had completed all of his preparations, Su Ran finally felt relieved.

Kiddo, I don’t believe you can’t be drowned like this!

"Thud thud thud!"

A series of urgent hammering sounds came from the coffin, but under the pressure of the seawater, the noise didn’t carry far before dissipating.

"Uncle, don’t bother struggling, just accept your fate~! Die early for a quick reincarnation, and remember not to gossip in your next life, as mischief often comes from the mouth!"

Su Ran had not a trace of mercy, because he knew that being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to himself! This critical hidden mission, if failed, could turn the Great White Shark hostile towards him!

There’s no choice, I’m forced into this even though I’m naturally kind...

The knocking from inside the coffin grew weaker and eventually almost silent. Su Ran wasn’t convinced and waited another five minutes, thinking to himself that even if the fisherman had pure blood points, he should have perished by now!

Su Ran had experienced the terror of a lack of oxygen BUFF, which was an important reason for his certainty.

"Mission accomplished, let’s pack up!"

Su Ran clapped his hands satisfactorily and began to tidy up the coffins, feeling that such an ending was the best—killing the fisherman effortlessly and peacefully, even if he went to the underworld, he wouldn’t linger on thoughts of himself, how nice~!

But when Su Ran had gathered all the coffins back, he was suddenly taken aback.

Underneath the coffin, there was nothing at all!

"No way? Where’s the fisherman?"

Su Ran had seen with his own eyes the fisherman being pressed into the coffin, but now, not even a strand of hair was left behind!

"What happened, did the corpse respawn?"

Su Ran muttered to himself in confusion, but instantly dismissed the possibility. Even if the fisherman perished, shouldn’t there be some equipment bursting forth? At the very least, a few fish could be up for grabs!

After pondering for a moment, Su Ran accepted the truth. He had failed to keep watch over the fisherman, who had slipped away.

"But where could he have escaped to?"

Su Ran scanned the surrounding waters, but apart from a dozen deep-sea fish swimming to and fro, there was nothing suspicious. It was only when he looked overhead that he finally caught sight of the fisherman’s flustered figure.

"What a skillful escape!"

Surprised by the sight of the fisherman desperately trying to survive, Su Ran didn’t have time to ponder how the fisherman had managed to secretly escape. He shot upwards, pursuing the fisherman above.

By now, the fisherman’s face had turned blood-red. The extreme lack of oxygen had stripped him of all other thoughts. For him, breathing in a gulp of fresh air was a luxury, as he fought against time and death itself.

"Too bad, I can’t catch up!"

Although Su Ran was faster than the fisherman, the delay was too long, and there was no hope of catching up. He could only heave a sigh and slow down his chase. In his view, even if the fisherman managed to break the water’s surface, he wouldn’t escape the palm of his hand!

Indeed, no NPC should be underestimated, and the fisherman was no exception. The mere fact that he had disappeared without a trace from Su Ran’s blockade was enough to command attention.

"Splash!"

A huge splash erupted as the fisherman emerged from the ocean, gasping for fresh air. Every cell in his body greedily absorbed the oxygen from the air. He felt as though he had just walked through the gates of hell, an experience so horrifying that he never wanted to go through it a second time!

However,

before the fisherman had fully recovered, the killing intent returned.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow came out of nowhere, with a forceful attack that struck the fisherman’s head, cleanly bursting it open!

The poor fisherman did not have a chance to react before his head burst open like a watermelon, splattering blood across the nearby sea surface, painting the ocean a vivid red.

"Huh?"

It wasn’t until Su Ran caught up that he discovered the fisherman had become a headless corpse, his limbs splayed as he floated on the water’s surface. Hundreds of Tripartite Blood Fish scattered around his body became the funeral offerings for the fisherman.

"Ding! Due to the unexpected death of the key character, the fisherman, player Skeleton’s special task ’A Grievance Filed’ has been forcibly canceled!"

The system prompt’s voice came through, allowing Su Ran’s tensed heart to finally relax.

"Phew, it’s finally over!"

Exhilarated, Su Ran shot out of the water, collecting all the Tripartite Blood Fish and Magic Seahorse, all that the fisherman had accomplished now benefiting Su Ran.

A heart filled with greed is never satiated. Wasn’t that an apt description of the fisherman’s life?

Feeling refreshed from his haul, Su Ran hummed a tune and returned to the fishing platform, only to find Banana standing there, lost in thought.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Su Ran leaped from the sky, landing on the fishing platform, and smiled at Banana, "Your aim is so good, being able to headshot from such a distance. I really owe you one this time!"

Seeing Su Ran arrive, Banana looked like a soulless shell, dazedly saying, "Overturning Water, brother, I think I’ve caused some trouble..."

"What’s the matter?"

"Maliciously killing an NPC, the Human Race will be eternally hostile to me, full of hatred, relentless till death!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Banana’s face showed worry as the troubled voice sounded, "It seems my character might never set foot in Human Race territory again in this lifetime..."
