Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 826 - 748: The Electric Eel King

The sea breeze was gentle, with a faint fishy smell wafting through the air.

Looking out, Su Ran was surprised to find that the electric eel king’s location was quite far from here. He decisively gave up traveling by sea and, after a few steps in the empty space, arrived mid-air and began to run rapidly.

Feeling the cool sea breeze against his face, Su Ran’s mood was exceptionally pleasant.

"Splash~! Splash~!"

Having recklessly entered the airspace above the North Sea, Su Ran startled the sea birds circling above the water. They fled haphazardly towards the distance.

"Sorry, bird bros, I’m just passing by—don’t run..."

Su Ran quickly made himself scarce, muttering to himself, "Do I really look that scary? Seriously!"

After walking in the air for a while, Su Ran looked back and saw that the distant beach had already turned into the sea’s surface. Even the fishing island was barely visible. The distance was surprisingly far, more than Su Ran had expected. He was somewhat relieved. If he had swum from the sea, it probably would have taken a long time and been troublesome!

"Finally, I’m here!"

After the tedious aerial journey, Su Ran finally entered the territory of the mission BOSS, the electric eel king.

With the Heavenly Thunder Bead and the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe in hand, Su Ran was very confident. After using a Calamity Avoiding Charm, he took the plunge, causing a splash over a meter high.

After swimming for a while, Su Ran finally reached the seabed and carefully began to scout around.

"Whoa, there’s such a huge variety of deep-sea fish here!"

Su Ran was surprised to find that he had never seen any of the deep-sea fish swimming around him before! The vastness of the sea truly contains myriad marvels. Compared to the vast ocean, Su Ran felt all the more insignificant.

"Huh?"

After swimming for a moment, Su Ran let out a light gasp. Not far from him, the seabed emitted a flickering light, like a light bulb with an unstable current, very conspicuous against the seabed. Upon closer inspection, he was overjoyed. The electric eel school, at last, he’d found it!

Most people would prefer to stay far away from deep-sea fish like electric eels. Water conducts electricity, and electric shocks can be paralyzing. Being entangled by such creatures would be troublesome, with a great probability of perishing at the bottom of the sea. But Su Ran didn’t have the slightest worry. He laughed heartily as he charged towards the shimmering light.

Electric eels measuring one and a half meters long appeared in Su Ran’s line of sight. These eels were greyish-brown, with smooth, scale-less skins, which allowed for sensitive manoeuvering in the deep sea. They had long anal fins along their lower edges, which they moved leisurely around with, seeming very relaxed and comfortable. The glowing spots came from both sides of the spinal cord at the tail, presumably where the electric currents were released.

"Dear electric eels, here I come!"

Su Ran laughed and swung his scythe sharply, creating a slender ripple in the water and quickly heading towards the dozens of electric eels. As for the skills and attributes of these eels, Su Ran couldn’t be bothered to check. Their method of attack was very simplistic, nothing more than high-voltage electric shock. However, Su Ran was absolutely immune to electricity; he would not fear even a million volts, he was the perfect counter!

Even if a level 100 ancestral electric eel spawned, Su Ran was confident he could battle it!

At that moment, Su Ran was like a tiger descending the mountain, plunging into the group of electric eels and beginning a frenzied slaughter. Ice arrows, Poison Bone Piercing, startling waves, and Ice Vortex skills were all unleashed by him. The violent magic elements raged in this part of the sea, and in a short time, dozens of unfortunate eels were already dead or injured.

Countless beams of electricity began to spread around Su Ran, lighting up the gloomy seabed as if it were daylight. The terrifying currents zipped through the water, unable to harm Su Ran in the slightest. His health remained firmly full; well, not quite— he had accidentally been slapped by an electric eel’s tail, losing 30 health points, but it was negligible.

The prowess of the ancient Heavenly Thunder Bead—it’s likely the electric eels would never want to experience it again in their next life...

"Hahaha, this is just too awesome!"

Su Ran looked at his rapidly increasing experience points with immense satisfaction. He then proceeded to pick up all the electric eel corpses, because, you should know, these were the raw materials for exchanging skeleton guards, so waste was not an option!

"Huh?"

Su Ran was surprised to find that these electric eels had actually dropped some strange bottles and jars, with the transparent bottles containing a small amount of deep blue liquid.

"Is this... a special potion?"

With curiosity in his heart, Su Ran picked up these bottles and inspected the properties up close.

[Thunder Resistance Potion] (Special)

Consuming it can increase thunder resistance by 30%.

"Hey, that’s a pretty niche effect!"

Su Ran chuckled, hardly taking the potions seriously. He couldn’t help it, after all, he had the Heavenly Thunder Bead, making him impervious to thousands of thunders, and the Thunder Resistance Potion was utterly useless to him!

"But still, it’s better than nothing, and it might be worth a couple of bucks. My teacher once taught me, wasting is shameful."

Su Ran picked up all the potions on the ocean floor. After counting them, he had a total of 25 bottles, which he casually stuffed into his bladder bag and then set out in search of the coordinates marked for the mission.

"Damn, the Electric Eel King really knows how to hide deep!"

When he reached the destination, Su Ran didn’t find the Electric Eel King. Just as he was wondering, a bright ring of light emitted from a hole in a huge coral reef ahead, turning the whole reef a dazzling red.

Swimming quickly to the hole in the coral reef, Su Ran carefully peered inside, only to see an extra-large electric eel lying motionless within. The thick currents of electricity occasionally enveloping its body gave off a whiff of danger to Su Ran.

If he didn’t have the Heavenly Thunder Bead, even if Su Ran had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare provoke this grandmaster of electricity on the ocean floor!

"Now, it’s my turn to trample you!"

With a sly smile, Su Ran immediately started stabbing into the coral reef with the slender handle of his bone scythe, stirring the water so turbid that it was impossible to see clearly inside the hole.

Suddenly.

A massive current shot rapidly up the handle of the bone scythe toward Su Ran, with even the sea water crackling with the electricity.

However, when the fierce current was about to touch Su Ran’s body, a flash of lightning from the Heavenly Thunder Bead’s surface created an invisible magnetic field around him, diverting the current from its original trajectory, bypassing Su Ran’s body, and dissipating into the sea water.

"Boom!"

Before Su Ran had time to react, the coral reef in front of him exploded, and an Electric Eel King as thick as a water barrel burst out, angrily emitting a sharp sonar wave. Its body enveloped in electricity, it charged straight at Su Ran.
