Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 860 - 782: Transmission Channel

"Creak, creak."

The corpse of the cursed demon, no longer maintained by any vital essence, proved to be no challenge for the skeletal centipede’s consumption. In no time at all, it had been gnawed clean.

"Burp~"

After letting out a satisfied burp, the skeletal centipede moved to Su Ran’s side, looking at him with eyes full of joy and dependence.

"Had your fill? Time to head out!"

Su Ran returned the skeletal centipede to his pet space to digest its meal, and then followed the same path back, striding up the stone stairs toward the place bathed in light above.

To Su Ran’s surprise, he didn’t catch sight of Banana. He guessed the guy must have left the cave early, likely because his ears couldn’t bear the torture any longer, and had gone out for a breath of fresh air.

Guided by the winding stone staircase, Su Ran smoothly exited the cave, the intermittent beams of sunlight striking his face felt a bit uncomfortable after the darkness below.

"Overturning Water brother, you’re finally out. I was so bored waiting I nearly got hemorrhoids!"

Banana, who had been sitting on the ground idly, was eager to speak as soon as he saw Su Ran emerge. "Brother, I have a favor to ask. Once your mission is complete, accompany me to level up, will you? This experience talisman is making me as restless as a cat scratching at my heart; I can’t wait to use it!"

"You got it, as trivial as a mosquito on its period! Get up, kid, we need to get moving!"

Under Su Ran’s command, Wang Cai resumed his role as the lead guide, while the two men quickly followed him toward the mission site.

"Banana, you must pay attention to the next mission. The moment the teleportation gateway appears, you have to rush into it immediately. Ten seconds later, this gateway will explode, and I reckon the blast is strong enough to kill us both on the spot!"

With a grave tone, Su Ran explained the dangers of the teleportation gateway, hoping Banana would take it seriously.

"Is it really that scary?"

Banana was taken aback by what he heard. He hadn’t expected a quest to be so dangerous, offering only a ten-second window to react. If he didn’t make a choice in time, he might as well wait to respawn...

At that moment, Banana could feel the Grim Reaper beckoning him. He swallowed hard and mumbled resignedly, "Overturning Water brother, I’m getting the feeling more and more that this is a shady venture..."

"What? Thinking of jumping ship again?"

Su Ran’s face was alight with a smirk as he glanced at Banana’s bitter expression, asking in response.

"No way! From now on, living or dead, I am your man, your ghost. I’ll resolutely follow your orders!"

Banana quickly took a stand, suppressing any second thoughts that were trying to emerge.

"Don’t worry. As long as we seize the moment, ten seconds is enough to dive through the teleportation gateway!"

Su Ran reassured him with a smile, "The mission is designed to be completed by players. Overthinking it will only cause you unnecessary anxiety."

"Alright then, whatever you say goes. If we die, we just wait to respawn. Consider it a learning experience."

The more Banana thought about it, the more nervous he felt, so he simply pulled out his golden bow, which made him look a little more at ease.

With Wang Cai leading the way, they quickly returned to the area with the six coconut trees. The deep pit that Su Ran had dug earlier hadn’t been reset by the system, indicating that the damage to the area was irreversible. It was likely that after the explosion of the teleportation gateway, these coconut trees would meet their end as well.

"Banana, stand near that central pit. Once the teleportation gateway refreshes, don’t hesitate, just jump right in!"

Su Ran felt uneasy and repeated himself.

"Got it, is Overturning Water bro already hitting menopause? You’ve started to nag,"

Banana scratched his ear helplessly and said weakly.

"I’m just worried you might cause trouble. Since everything is ready, I’ll open the channel now!"

After finishing his words, Su Ran summoned his clone, the Dark Bone Lion, and had it carry three Energy Stones towards the coconut trees.

For such a dangerous task, it was better to let the clone handle it. The original could still have enough time to enter the teleportation gateway, safe and worry-free. This was indeed the most prudent way to unlock it.

"Overturning Water bro, are you sure about letting your pet handle the task? Aren’t you afraid it’ll swallow those three Energy Stones?"

Seeing this scene, Banana looked incredulously at Su Ran and said, "If we lose even one Energy Stone, you’ll regret it!"

"I have a plan."

Su Ran replied indifferently, then turned his gaze to the Dark Bone Lion. Following the sequence arranged by the ancient village chief, he started to embed the Energy Stones into the holes one by one.

There was no other way; if the insertion order was incorrect, it would be deemed an immediate task failure. Su Ran had no choice but to take it seriously.

"Boom!"

The moment all the Energy Stones were in place, the ground began to shake violently. Each of the six coconut trees emitted a red, yellow, blue, green, purple, and black light, converging at the center, mingling and merging into a teleportation gateway that hovered above the pit.

However, the state of this gateway was unstable, flickering between ethereal and solid. Bolts of lightning shot out from it, forming a Thunder Grid that enveloped the portal.

An increasingly terrifying aura emanated from the gateway, like a portal to death’s underworld, chilling to the core.

"This..."

Witnessing the terrifying bolts of lightning, Banana hesitated. If struck by this lightning, even if one didn’t die, they’d be severely injured!

"Don’t hesitate, hurry into the gateway!"

Su Ran shouted sternly, surreptitiously holding the Heavenly Thunder Bead in his hand as he quickly darted towards the gateway.

"Snap!"

With a few running steps, Su Ran took a powerful leap, tearing through layers of the Thunder Grid, and plunged headfirst into the gateway, vanishing from sight.

"Damn, Overturning Water bro is really badass! Facing such massive thunder and lightning without flinching, he’s definitely a real man!"

Amazed by Su Ran’s domineering leap, Banana was thoroughly impressed.

Having his brother set an example, and with half the time already elapsed, Banana showed a resolute expression, as if prepared to face death. With a loud shout to bolster his courage, he jumped fiercely, clutching his head tightly, and broke through the deadly Thunder Grid to desperately enter the gateway.

Ten seconds later, the illusory gateway suddenly flashed with aurora light, like an atomic bomb exploding. The terrible shockwave burst forth instantly, turning the six coconut trees to ash and creating a huge pit in the ground. Even the entire fishing island trembled.

The explosive might of the portal’s destruction was terrifying!

This gateway, carrying countless millennia of history, vanished permanently. Its fate intertwined with the Elven race, now buried in the long stream of history, gradually forgotten by all.
