Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 841 - 763: A Difficult Test

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Under Su Ran’s consecutive summons, Wang Cai, the Bone Centipede, and the Primordial Great Snake all appeared at his side. At this time, the little zombie was undergoing a mysterious inheritance and could not afford to be distracted to fight. Therefore, Su Ran did not consider attacking it.

As for the "异魔", its appearance time was a mere 30 minutes, so it had to be reserved for a push in the second half of the fight.

"Woof Woof!"

Upon appearing, Wang Cai immediately transformed into a majestic-looking dog and charged straight towards the treasure chest monster in the front.

At this very moment, Wang Cai’s dog eyes turned blood red. With a bark, an invisible fluctuation enveloped the entire body of the treasure chest monster, significantly weakening its momentum.

What Wang Cai used was its active attack skill, Luck Suppression!

Seizing the opportunity, Su Ran began to investigate the attributes of this treasure chest monster. Only after finding out it was just a regular level 35 creature did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Clank, clank, clank."

Ten Bronze skeletons, acting as shock troops, charged straight ahead followed closely by the Dark Bone Lion and the Sand Puppet. Su Ran’s pet army revealed themselves for the first time altogether, easily surrounding the treasure chest monster. All summoned beasts showed off their abilities, unleashing their attacks in unison, creating a symphony of satisfying collision sounds.

The treasure chest monster was no match and couldn’t even defend itself. Its health started to plummet rapidly. Within a few seconds, it was emptied out, turning into a beam of light and disappearing from the encirclement of the summoned beasts.

If Banana were still on scene, the sight of so many summoned pets would certainly have made his eyes pop out in amazement!

"Ding! Congratulations to player ’Skeleton’ for killing the treasure chest monster and receiving 2000 experience points as a reward. The next wave of attacks will soon begin, please prepare."

After the treasure chest monster was killed, the system alert surprised Su Ran.

"Wow, that small monster gives a lot of experience!"

A flash of joy crossed Su Ran’s eyes, as he now understood the purpose of this test. It was specifically designed to deliver experience to players!

Aha, this was great. There was no one to share the experience points with, and no concerns about others stealing his monsters. Where else could he find such a good deal?!

The most important point was that there was time for recovery before a new wave of monsters spawned. Such a setup was more humane; it didn’t push the players to their limits.

As Su Ran was contemplating, two treasure chest monsters spawned not far in front of him, hopping towards him in attack.

"Interesting, this time two spawned, doubling the amount. However, the strength of the treasure chest monsters hadn’t increased."

Su Ran carefully observed the spawn pattern and didn’t rush to act. His summoned beasts could easily handle two treasure chest monsters—just the Bone Centipede and the Primordial Great Snake alone were enough, not to mention the other summoned beasts.

Before even a minute had passed, these two treasure chest monsters were so brutally beaten, they started to question their very existence. After contributing 4000 experience points to Su Ran, they turned into two streaks of white light and disappeared.

"Swoosh!"

The light flickered continuously, and this time, four treasure chest monsters spawned. As soon as they appeared, they were surrounded by Su Ran’s pet army, commencing a fierce battle.

"Not good!"

Su Ran’s heart contracted as he realized to his shock that with each wave, the number of treasure chest monsters doubled! This implied that the difficulty of what was to come would also increase exponentially!

God knows how many waves this treasure chest challenge would have, but at this rate, he would be overwhelmed by the horde of monsters within three hours...

Suddenly, Su Ran felt overwhelmed.

"No, it’s impossible to clear it quickly, let’s try dragging out the time!"

After killing three treasure chest monsters, Su Ran directed his summoned beasts to start sprinting wildly, dodging the remaining treasure chest monster and deliberately dragging out the time.

However, to Su Ran’s surprise, after about five minutes, the entire treasure chest space suddenly trembled. With a thunderous roar, the range of the treasure chest space shrunk by half on the spot!

The shrinking of the treasure chest space indirectly increased the difficulty of Su Ran’s test, showing clearly that delaying time was not a viable tactic!

"Damn!"

Upon seeing this, Su Ran cursed under his breath. He had already gained a rough understanding of the rules of this challenge. He decided not to delay any longer and directed all his summoned beasts to swarm and quickly finish off the half-dead treasure chest monster.

Just then, his friend notification pinged. Taking advantage of the moment before the next wave of monsters respawned, he opened the friend interface and saw it was a message from Banana.

"Overturning Water bro, are you free to talk?"

"Go ahead."

"Damn unlucky, the treasure chest disappeared..."

The frustration in Banana’s voice was palpable even through the chat box.

"Really? It hasn’t been that long; have you looked carefully?"

"I’ve turned this place upside down, couldn’t find any, and even the big treasure chest you’re at has disappeared..."

Upon hearing this, Su Ran realized that the treasure chest space he was in couldn’t be disturbed from the outside. It was unfortunate that those treasure chests were refreshed away.

"If I’d known, I would have asked you to stay here and complete the challenge with me. It’s gone now, and that’s that. There will be other opportunities. Later on, I’ll join you on a sea dive."

"Overturning Water bro, you said it. I’m logging off to get some fresh air. I’ll be back online in three hours."

"Be my guest."

Su Ran knew the guy didn’t have the guts to go back into the sea, and there were risks of being discovered by villagers on the island. Logging off was indeed a good choice.

"Swoosh!"

The treasure chest space flickered with light, and this time eight treasure chest monsters spawned. During the skirmish, Su Ran’s Bronze skeletons began to suffer casualties.

"It’s getting tougher. I just hope I can hold out..."

Su Ran was no longer at ease. His face was serious as he watched the few treasure chest monsters. If the challenge continued spawning monsters at this pace, who could bear it!

The Primordial Great Snake spat a mouthful of venom, coating all eight treasure chest monsters in a greasy green hue. The Dark Bone Lion roared, its shockwave stunning the monsters on the spot. The Sand Puppet extended its arms and began to spin rapidly in place, slamming into the treasure chest monsters, which clanged loudly as their health sharply decreased.

As for the Corpse Centipede, its attacks were even more lethal. Its tail turned into a fierce whip, snapping at the treasure chest monsters, sending them flying. As soon as they landed, they were surrounded by Bronze skeletons and chopped up like dumpling filling.

"What wastrels!"

The pets attacked fiercely, forcing the treasure chest monsters to retreat again and again. Su Ran watched with pained eyes. So many area-of-effect skills were used up so easily. What would they do later on when more monsters appeared if these skills were on cooldown!

The time didn’t take long, and the eight treasure chest monsters were soon rejoined with nature, and the fierce atmosphere in the space cooled down.

"Haha, not bad at all!"

The eight treasure chest monsters generously contributed 16,000 experience points to Su Ran. Watching his experience points surge, he felt immensely satisfied, as if he was cheating.

"Click, click, click."

Su Ran resummoned ten Bronze skeletons, pondered for a moment, and directly used the Time Reversal skill. Another ten skeletons clawed their way out of the ground, and with this, the ranks of his summoned beast army expanded once more.

The cooldown time for the Time Reversal skill was only 20 minutes, and it could be used several times in the upcoming challenge, which is why Su Ran had used it so early.

"Swoosh."

A streak of white light flashed, and instead of the anticipated 16 treasure chest monsters, one about four meters tall appeared, swaying its body with an imposing aura.

"BOSS!!!!"
