Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 861 - 783 Unexpected Gains

"Plop."

The banana fell to the ground, charred all over, barely resembling an elf anymore, looking extremely bedraggled.

"Cough cough cough, this damn portal, I’m never using it again!"

The banana got up from the ground, coughed violently several times, a look of panic unmistakably in his eyes. But when he saw Su Ran’s immaculate black robe, his face instantly took on the expression of having seen a ghost, "Overturning Water, big brother, how come you’re completely unscathed?"

"Luck, I guess I was a few seconds ahead of you, the lightning net hadn’t gained much power yet."

Su Ran explained casually, not wanting to reveal the information about the Heavenly Thunder Bead before he had absolute power, considering its value was second only to the legendary Dream Seeking Mirror!

"Don’t just stand there gawking, quickly heal up, this place is teeming with monsters, it’s nothing like the Elf Forest!"

Upon hearing this, the banana started to take a good look around, only then noticing that they were standing on a huge floating reef amid an unknown sea, meaning they were now stranded on this reef.

"Damn it, how did we get teleported to this dump? Overturning Water, big brother, this task of yours is so unreliable!"

The banana quickly took out a healing ointment, urgently restoring his health while feeling a touch of nervousness in this unknown environment, always expecting a giant shark to leap out of the sea and launch a surprise attack on him.

"Don’t panic, let me check what the task prompt says."

Su Ran opened the task panel and was pleasantly surprised to find that the task prompt had indeed undergone a lot of changes.

"Ding! Congratulations, player Skeleton, for unlocking the Mysterious Path. The second leg of the mission’s coordinates is 7699:9282. Please proceed to the task location where you will find useful information."

Task coordinates acquired!

"Follow me."

Seeing that the banana’s health was almost fully restored, Su Ran summoned his pathfinder, Wang Cai, and instructed him to head towards the mission location, so he could be mentally prepared in case of any traps or ambushes.

As it turned out, Su Ran was overthinking it.

The two safely made it to the edge of the floating reef, only to realize that the mission location was not on this reef!

"Overturning Water, big brother, look, there’s an island in the distance, the mission location is probably on that island!"

The banana pointed excitedly at the distant island, "Let’s set off quickly, we can’t rely on this damn portal, which actually teleported us here, the deviation is too big! And this reef, who knows what kind of strange things might happen, in my opinion, it’s wise to leave early!"

"Don’t rush."

Su Ran waved his hand, his gaze lingering on the floating reef beneath them, filled with suspicion, "If the system has planned for us to come here, then this reef naturally has its purpose, we just haven’t discovered it yet."

After saying that, Su Ran took out a novice hoe and dug fiercely into the reef stone, but unfortunately, he couldn’t budge it which was a bit embarrassing.

"Overturning Water, big brother, have you become so used to hoes for tasks that you can’t function without one?"

The banana held back his laughter, teasing Su Ran.

Carrying a novice hoe for a task was just too comical!

"I don’t have time to banter with you, I have a feeling there’s something unusual about this reef stone, let me go down and check it out first."

After pondering for a moment, Su Ran used the Calamity Avoiding Charm and then took the Ice Crystal Bone Scythe in hand, plunging into the water with a dive.

"The reef stone has something unusual? I think you’re the unusual one!"

The banana muttered under his breath but did not waste a precious Calamity Avoiding Charm like Su Ran, instead waiting on the reef for Su Ran to come back thwarted.

...

After jumping into the sea, the cool water made Su Ran incredibly comfortable, like a fish returning to the sea, feeling content.

"Hopefully my intuition isn’t wrong."

Su Ran knew that the banana was waiting to laugh at his misfortune, but he didn’t pay it any mind and swiftly swam downwards.

"Holy smokes, so many deep-sea fish monsters!"

Arriving beneath the floating reef, Su Ran was surprised to find that the area was teeming with aggressive sea fish. Luckily, he had used the Calamity Avoiding Charm in advance, otherwise, he might have ended up in a dire situation here!

He carefully avoided the sea fish and gradually approached the bottom of the reef. Upon seeing the situation beneath the reef, Su Ran’s eyes instantly lit up.

Clams, countless sea clams!!!

The dense sea clams clinging to the rocks made Su Ran’s head spin—if someone with trypophobia saw this scene, they’d probably faint on the spot.

"Haha, this haul is totally worth it!"

Su Ran laughed aloud and lay on the rocks, unceremoniously beginning to plunder the heaps of sea clams.

You should know, these clams contained glittering deep-sea pearls!

It wasn’t hard to guess that a large number of deep-sea pearls would be needed in the upcoming quest plot, and that was likely the reason the system had set up this floating reef!

After realizing this, Su Ran’s plundering speed increased even more.

...

Above the reef, Banana was lying there bored, basking in the sun.

"It’s weird, it’s been over an hour, why hasn’t Overturning Water brother come up yet? Could he have met with some misfortune?"

Banana spoke out loud to himself, puzzled. His curiosity nagged at him, but he managed to restrain it.

"Something’s not right, there’s not a single wave on the sea’s surface; there mustn’t have been any fight. Could it be that he found another spot to dig into?"

After much thought, Banana was still baffled.

"Splash~"

In that instant, water splashed up from the sea’s surface as Su Ran emerged, stepped across the air, and landed on the reef.

"Oh my gosh, Overturning Water brother, you’ve finally come out!"

Banana scrambled up and rushed over to Su Ran, excitedly asking, "How was it? You were down there so long, you couldn’t have come up empty-handed, right?"

"Not bad, the harvest is pretty good."

Su Ran grinned, thinking of the massive amount of sea clams in his bladder, filled with a sense of achievement.

"You really live up to being my big brother, even such hidden treasure you’re able to find!"

Banana quickly flattered, eyes shining as he said, "Hurry and show me, let me take in the sight!"

"Hey, prepare yourself mentally first, don’t get too scared!"

After saying this with a smile, Su Ran took out all the sea clams from his bladder, and before long, there was a small mountain of them on the reef.

"Oh my, big brother, did you catch the ancestors of the sea clams? There are so many!"

Seeing the huge pile of sea clams in front of him, Banana’s breath quickened with astonishment.

"Don’t just stand there gawking, help me take out the pearls; we’ll probably need them soon."

As he spoke, Su Ran started prying open a clam in his hand and extracted the pearl from inside.

Hmm, quality 30, not too shabby.

"Haha, you found the right person for this job~!"

Banana rubbed his hands together, let out an excited yell, and dove straight into the pile of clams to search for pearls.
