Online Game: Crazy Skeleton

"Crap!"

As soon as Su Ran teleported back to Skeleton Village, he realized the grave situation before him, and his heart skipped a beat. However, when he saw that the altar was intact, his tense heart returned to his stomach.

Thank goodness, it’s not too late!

"Damn, why did a skeleton spawn here? Can territory spawn monsters? How bizarre!"

"If even the Bone Dragon has come out, what’s impossible now?"

"Forget about the small fry, be careful of those few BOSSES!"

The shield warrior player closest to Su Ran didn’t pay any attention to Su Ran, considering him just a lowly undead skeleton with no threat.

Seizing the moment before the battle with the BOSSES had erupted, the shield warrior casually swung his sword. In his eyes, this ordinary attack was a thunderous blow that would easily one-shot the skeleton!

Killing a minor skeleton not only allowed him to ease his own tension but also helped boost the morale of his side. In other words, this little skeleton had spawned at just the right moment!

"What?"

What puzzled the shield warrior was that his ordinary attack had missed. Before he could continue his assault, he was astonished to find that the little skeleton had turned tail and fled...

In that moment, the shield warrior felt as if his brain couldn’t keep up, and he needed to re-educate himself on the game’s knowledge.

"What are you waiting for? Chase it! It’s an exquisite skeleton, it could drop good stuff!"

Another warrior player didn’t think so much. Seeing his teammate let the skeleton get away, he shouted anxiously without paying any more attention to the BOSSES, his eyes only on the undead skeleton as he pushed through the crowd to chase after it.

"An exquisite skeleton? A random event BOSS?"

A dozen players’ eyes lit up as they chased after it, too, but they stopped after a few steps, helplessly realizing that the undead skeleton’s speed far exceeded theirs!

"Phew, that was close!"

Su Ran reacted quickly and fled swiftly; thus, he wasn’t trapped by these players. It wasn’t until he was behind the swindler Yin Si and the Ghost King Drought Fiend that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uh?"

The Ghost King Drought Fiend gazed at Su Ran with fiery eyes, cheeks gradually reddening, radiating smitten glances from its large cyclopean eye, its thick fingers twisting its clothes. This bashful young maiden demeanor shook Su Ran to the core, and his liver trembled.

No way, this Drought Fiend’s goodwill must not increase any further, that could lead to trouble!

Su Ran awkwardly curled his lip at the Drought Fiend as a greeting, but upon seeing the swindler, his face turned sour.

"Ouch?"

The swindler Yin Si’s eyes were fixed on Su Ran’s crotch, an incredible light shining in his gaze.

"Little skeleton, you’ve come across some good fortune lately. Let’s have a detailed talk when we find the time."

Crap!

How could I have forgotten about that!

Su Ran felt a headache coming on; under everyone’s gaze, he dared not cover himself up, and thus the swindler got an eyeful. Not intending to stay, he ducked into a house, breaking the line of sight with everyone else, and only then did he completely let down his guard.

Su Ran’s appearance was but an interlude, like a pebble tossed into a stormy sea, unable to influence the tense and pulling atmosphere. Following the calm before the storm, the sounds of fierce fighting, clashing weapons, and exploding magic soon echoed loudly outside the house, descending into chaos.

"I didn’t expect this greedy merchant to be so generous, offering help without seeing any benefits upfront. That’s really something!"

Su Ran looked through the window at the intense battle outside, and upon seeing the Ghost King and Drought Fiend showing their ferocity without any mercy, raging against the players in Skeleton Village, he couldn’t help but exclaim.

What surprised Su Ran, however, was that the Undead Bone Dragon King, the guardian beast of the territory, showed no desire to fight and instead buried itself into its coffin to avoid the world, dreaming grand dreams of prosperity and peace.

Even without the Bone Dragon King taking action, the territory wouldn’t be lost!

Because Su Ran had returned!

Soon, the ground was covered again with a thick layer of corpses, and the heavy stench of blood permeated the village, making people nauseous. Most players were scared out of their wits, looking at the two unidentified BOSSes with frantic expressions, their desire to keep attacking gone.

"Shuxin, just give up on this territory."

Jiu Kong glanced at the dire situation within the territory and started to retreat, "The strength of these two BOSSes is unfathomable, incomparable to any ordinary BOSS. And with that Bone Dragon, taking over the territory is going to be difficult!"

"No way!"

Shuxin had already invested so much money, how could she give up easily, "Whoever can provide a strategy, I’ll reward them with 100K!"

This woman is crazy!

Shuxin was literally throwing money at the problem, fully committed to taking over this territory!

As the saying goes, a handsome reward attracts brave men. The guild leader of a small guild, with a flickering expression, finally couldn’t resist the temptation of money. He stepped forward, pulled out a card from his pack, and after attracting everyone’s attention, said, "The difficulty in taking the territory lies in two aspects, one is the defensive buildings, and the other is these three BOSSes."

"However, I have a 7-star top-grade Shadowed Tiger BOSS card, which I estimate can hold off a BOSS for ten minutes."

"Hiss..."

The crowd changed color at his words, enviously eyeing the card, wishing they could snatch it for themselves.

"A seven-star beast card? That’s extravagant, tsk tsk!"

Not to be outdone, another player pulled out a dark gold card, heh-heh smiling, "I’ve got one too, a 7-star Blue Star Python. It could be useful in restraining another BOSS. It’s just that the value of this seven-star card..." freewёbnoνel.com

Shuxin naturally understood the implication in those words. Her brows slightly furrowed, but she knew that this was not the time to hesitate. In front of everyone, she directly traded 20,000 gold coins and said coldly, "Although such seven-star cards are rare in the market, they are merely one-time consumable items. Their value is only around 6000-8000 gold coins. 10K gold coins each, I’ll take them!"

"Boss Shu is generous! Magnanimous! Here’s hoping you get your territory soon, and we can bask in your success!"

That player immediately switched to a cheerful expression, contentedly collecting the 10,000 gold coins and guaranteeing, "Rest assured, Boss Shu. I will personally enter the fray and keep one of the BOSSes at bay!"

The other guild leader also expressed his enthusiasm, pledged to complete the task of holding off the enemy.

"What about the Bone Dragon, how will we deal with that?"

What worried Shuxin the most was the guardian beast, the Undead Bone Dragon King. Her concern was not unfounded; if the phantom Bone Dragon they had seen before was so powerful, then the real thing couldn’t be any weaker.

"I have a 5-star beast card!"

"I’ve got one too!"

...

Seeing how open-handed Shuxin was, the players started shouting out one after another, taking out their treasured beast cards, hoping to extort a bit more gold from the generous female boss.
