Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 822 - 744 Unforeseen Circumstances

"Splash~"

Suddenly, a splash erupted on the water’s surface, and a bare-chested figure shot out, floating on the sea, gasping for fresh air.

Without a doubt, this person had to be Banana.

"You gave me quite the scare, kid!"

Su Ran walked to the shore and waited for Banana to flip onto the boat before jokingly saying, "No wonder I couldn’t find you; you were hiding in the sea! What’s the deal, do you have to take off your equipment to go underwater? Didn’t have to be that clean, did you?"

"Overturning Water brother, you have no idea, my gear is an elf set, it wears out too quickly underwater, and repairing it costs a fortune!"

Banana wiped the water off his body before putting his green leaf set back on and then looked pitifully at Su Ran, saying, "Overturning Water brother, why did it take you so long to get here? I’ve been waiting for you for six or seven hours, I’m completely cooled off!"

"Couldn’t help it, I had to wait until the mission was completed before I could come back. By the way, why did you jump into the sea? You always said you’re a landlubber, what if you got drowned?"

"Man, don’t curse me like that! Compared to you, I am a landlubber, but I can still manage the basic doggy paddle. It was just too stuffy staying on the boat, so I went into the sea to find some fun."

Banana chuckled and smiled at Su Ran, "Overturning Water brother, that Calamity Avoiding Charm’s effect is really strong, I’ve never felt so great in the sea! It’s like thousands of fish swim around, but not a single one touches me!"

"Ha, entertaining yourself and still having such a blast, just be careful not to be spotted by the villagers! Here, this is for you."

Su Ran took out thirty bottles of Underwater Breathing potion from beneath him and handed them over, "With these potions, you can freely roam the seabed; the underwater world is far more amazing than the shallows, very enchanting."

"Wow, so many!"

Banana couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at the dozens of potions before him, asking doubtfully, "Overturning Water brother, are all these for me?"

"Yeah, they’re all for you. I got quite a bit from the mission rewards."

"How can I accept this, Overturning Water brother, you’re too kind!"

Though Banana was saying this, his hands moved swiftly to pack away the potions, then he looked at Su Ran with a touched expression, "Overturning Water brother, you’re really good to me, remembering me even after getting your mission rewards, I don’t know how to repay you~!"

"Don’t play the ’nice guy’ card, you’re not a girl, these things aren’t worth much!"

Su Ran scoffed disparagingly at Banana before getting down to business, "Right, once I’m done with this mission, come with me to the Elf Forest, help me complete a very important plot mission."

"Ah? We have to go back to that darn place again?"

Banana truly didn’t want to go back and was about to grumble, when Su Ran cut him off with a single sentence.

"If you don’t want to go, give back those potions."

"Alright, I know the Elf Forest well! But, Overturning Water brother, be careful not to encounter any curses there, those things are really disgusting!"

Banana organized his words before continuing, "The Elf Forest isn’t what you think, brother, it’s a cursed Sealed Land, one wrong move, and you could be stuck in that forest, I died so many times there before I finally managed to escape by chance."

"That’s why I want you to go with me, having you there naturally lowers the risk a lot."

"Haha, Overturning Water brother, just for that comment, I’ll take the job!"

Banana thumped his chest, his excitement evident.

"You go enjoy the sea first, I’ll head off to do the mission on the fishing island, and I’ll contact you later."

...

"Whoosh!"

A white light flashed, and Su Ran appeared on his own territory.

"King Electric Eel, since it’s a boss that controls electricity, I’ll use the Heavenly Thunder Bead to counter it!"

Su Ran could imagine the scene where the King Electric Eel would be helpless against him, and the thought alone was thrilling!

As the saying goes, there’s a counter for every force; it’s estimated that upon seeing the Heavenly Thunder Bead, the King of Electric Eels would almost pee itself on the spot.

However, before Su Ran could enter the Guardian Thunder Tower, a wailing cry came from the sky.

"Huh?"

Su Ran swept his gaze toward the sky, only to see a firebird, its body clad in flames, descending from above, carrying a female mage who landed at the foot of Demonic Treasure Mountain.

"What is she doing here?"

Su Ran muttered in confusion, recognizing the female mage on the back of the firebird as Yu Jing’s sister, Drizzle.

Could it be that this woman intended to take advantage of his absence to secretly organize troops to attack his territory?

With this thought, Su Ran broke out in a cold sweat, feeling secretly fortunate that he had returned in time; otherwise, the consequences would be too dreadful to imagine!

The reason he suspected the worst was because his territory was too valuable, and since he was only Yu Jing’s classmate and their relationship hadn’t progressed further, it was hard for her sister not to be envious!

With no time to hesitate, Su Ran took out the Core Controller and teleported midway up the mountain. Using the tombs as cover, Su Ran looked down toward the foot of the mountain.

At the edge of the swampy pool.

"Guild President Drizzle."

The dozen or so players standing guard saw the firebird land and all spontaneously gathered in line before Drizzle.

"There haven’t been any guilds purposely causing trouble during this time, have there?"

Drizzle retracted her firebird and asked with a resolute voice.

"There have been. But under the pressure of our guild’s strength, they all backed off."

A rugged-looking warrior player spoke out, and from his expression, one could tell that he didn’t take these guilds seriously at all.

"Oh? Which guilds?"

Drizzle raised her eyebrow and glanced at the warrior player.

"Tiger Supreme Guild, Dancing Demons Guild, Righteous and Indomitable Guild, oh right, and Thunder Pavilion, these four major guilds have all been here. As for the smaller, less significant guilds, they’re not worth mentioning."

The warrior player grinned carelessly, "The number of people these guilds brought wasn’t many, just dozens at a time, and there was no conflict after seeing us; they all left."

"Guild President Drizzle, there’s one thing you need to be aware of, these guilds have been visiting more frequently during this period, and they’re likely to make a move in the near future."

A female mage beside the warrior player asked softly, "Guild president, do you really want to offend so many guilds over this piece of territory? If they were to form an alliance and gather all their members into a large army, it would really be troublesome!"

"Dare they?!"

Drizzle snorted coldly, with a killing aura emanating from between her brows. Her heroic stance made it difficult for the players before her to meet her gaze.

"Guild President, why not just declare ourselves king of the mountain and take the territory into our pocket? That way, those miscellaneous guilds might just know when to back off."

The female mage offered her suggestion, unable to understand why Guild President Drizzle would leave such a piece of fat meat by her mouth without eating it—the enormous profits here could tempt anyone!

"Let’s not talk about this topic anymore."

Drizzle’s voice was cold and her tone left no room for doubt. She then shifted her gaze to the people before her, softened her tone slightly, and asked, "By the way, where is that Shadow Stone that was recently excavated?"

"It’s still with Miner 01, but this mineral has quite special properties. It’s better if you take a look before making any decisions,"

The male warrior’s tone was somewhat hesitant, and it was not difficult to tell that he had already seen the properties of the Shadow Stone.

"I understand."

Drizzle summoned her firebird mount, perching on its neck, and shot straight into the sky, flying toward the summit of Demonic Treasure Mountain.
