Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 862 - 784 Special Plants

"Good Lord, I’ve never seen so many pearls in my life!"

After prying open all the clams, Banana couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment, a pile of shiny pearls laid out before him, sure to dazzle and bewitch anyone!

"With these in hand, even the Stone Lady would be moved, right?"

Banana’s eyes were practically glued to the pile of pearls, unable to be removed as he couldn’t resist asking Su Ran, "Big brother, for the happiness of my second half of life, could you possibly..."

"Can’t."

Before Banana could finish, Su Ran ruthlessly cut him off. He collected all the deep-sea pearls on the reef, not leaving a single one behind, then patiently explained to Banana, "Since this task terrain produces so many deep-sea pearls, they will probably be useful in later quest lines. Let’s prioritize our main task first."

"Whew, that’s terrifying. The allure of these pearls really is too strong, no wonder women love them. Even a big guy like me nearly lost myself in them!"

Banana steadied his mind, finally suppressing the temptation of the pearls, and as his covetousness faded, he couldn’t help but sigh aloud.

"Since we’ve explored this area, there’s no need to stay any longer, let’s move on!"

Looking toward the distant, mysterious island, Su Ran spoke softly, "Wait here on the reef for a while, I’ll go check out the path first. It would be too much trouble to swim all that way and make a mistake."

"This flying skill really is handy. If I could have a trick or two of flying skills myself, I’d die without regrets..."

No sooner had Banana finished speaking than he saw Su Ran leap up, but before he had taken two steps in the air, he plummeted straight down into the sea.

Cough cough, this is awkward.

Retracting my previous envy...

Banana jogged to the edge of the reef and, seeing Su Ran’s head emerge from the water, asked in surprise, "Overturning Water Bro, does your flying skill malfunction sometimes?"

"What malfunction? This sea area is a no-fly zone!"

Slapping the water in frustration, Su Ran was totally caught off guard by this turn of events.

Damn it, this stupid system always working against me!

"Pffhaha..."

After understanding the reason, Banana couldn’t help but laugh out loud without any consideration, capturing a rare moment of Overturning Water Bro’s embarrassment was indeed quite a catch!

"Have you had your laugh? Let’s set off now!"

With a dark expression, Su Ran dropped a word and swam ahead on his own, heading straight for the distant island.

"Damn it, brother, wait for me!"

Flustered, Banana quickly packed away his elfin suit, used a Calamity Avoiding Charm and an Underwater Breathing potion, and then plunged headfirst into the water, his arms paddling in the classic doggy paddle as he chased after the advancing Su Ran, calling out loudly, "Overturning Water Bro, slow down, I can’t catch up with this doggy paddle~~"

...

Swimming is not an easy task, especially when one has to cover such a long distance.

So much so, the sun had set, and the two men were still miserably floating in the sea, struggling to swim towards the island ahead.

The only consolation was that the island was gradually getting bigger, and the distance seemed to be closing.

Finally, at midnight, the two managed to land ashore and lay on the ground without any image, no longer wanting to move.

Playing a game to this extent of exhaustion, Su Ran and his partner might set a record...

"I can’t go on, huff, huff, Overturning Water Bro, my back is about to break! This cursed quest, I wouldn’t want it even if it were free!"

Banana gasped for breath, so exhausted he could barely speak. Right then, he was both physically and mentally taxed, wishing he could log off immediately, lie in bed, and sleep soundly. This level of fatigue was unprecedented!

"Log off and rest for the night, let’s meet at nine sharp tomorrow morning."

As an Undead skeleton, Su Ran’s body wasn’t very tired, but he felt extremely fatigued mentally, ready to pass out at any moment.

Banana didn’t even have the strength to reply to Su Ran, and immediately turned into a white light, vanishing above the island.

"I wonder what other challenges await me on this island."

Su Ran took a deep look at the mysterious island and logged off as well.

"Yawn~"

As soon as he exited the Nutrition Cabin, Su Ran was overwhelmed by a strong urge to sleep, not even having the energy to tease Xiao Hei, and struggled onto the bed, quickly falling into a deep slumber.

"Meow?"

Xiao Hei tilted its head, looking at its tired owner, and considerately didn’t disturb him. After its owner fell sound asleep, it quietly jumped onto the bed, gently pulling the blanket over him, with a puzzled light flashing in its eyes.

The night passed without incident, time flew quickly, and darkness gradually faded away as the first rays of bright sunlight greeted the windowsill.

"Hoo~ That was such a comfortable sleep~!"

Su Ran slept beautifully and woke up full of energy, his eyes bright and alert, not at all looking like someone suffering from a terminal illness.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hei leapt into Su Ran’s arms, constantly nuzzling against his chest, meowing endlessly.

"Xiao Hei, stop it, let me put on my clothes first."

Su Ran haphazardly put on his clothes, played with Xiao Hei for a bit, and then stepped out of the bedroom. After having breakfast with his mother, he entered the game promptly at nine o’clock.

"Good morning, Overturning Water bro~!"

Banana had already logged in and, upon seeing Su Ran, smiled and said, "For the first time, I went to bed without checking my phone and fell asleep immediately. That sleep was freaking amazing!"

"Same here."

Su Ran nodded, glanced at Banana who was brimming with vitality, and then turned his gaze towards the island, "After a night’s rest, I’m refreshed. Now, let’s continue the quest!"

"According to the coordinate hints, our current location is not far from the mission site. I guess this island is the third stop of the quest."

"Haha, that’s great news, after all this swimming, it wasn’t for nothing!"

Banana breathed a sigh of relief, held the golden bow in his hands, and scanned the surroundings for any hidden dangers in the dark.

"Let’s go, we’ll talk more when we get to the mission site."

Under Wang Cai’s guidance, Su Ran and his companion arrived at the marked location of the mission and were surprised to find a tender little sapling growing there.

"Ding! Congratulations to player Skull for discovering the special plant, Sky-reaching Vine."

The system prompt suddenly sounded, making Su Ran all the more puzzled.

"Sky-reaching Vine?"

Su Ran murmured in confusion, feeling rather helpless as the system’s prompt was too vague.

"Overturning Water bro, what’s the next part of the quest?"

Seeing Su Ran’s befuddled appearance, Banana guessed they had encountered another difficulty and couldn’t help but ask.

"The quest is broken again."

Su Ran’s gaze remained fixed on the special sapling, explaining seriously, "This little sapling is called the Sky-reaching Vine; it’s a special plant, and then the quest prompt ends there."

"This is the Sky-reaching Vine?!" freёnovelkiss.com

Banana looked incredulously at the little sapling, his eyes filled with shock.
