Online Game: Crazy Skeleton

"Oh my god, how come so many monsters suddenly spawned?"

"This territory is so wicked, if we stay any longer, a collapse is inevitable!"

Fearful, the player didn’t care about what others would think and promptly pulled out a Town Recall Scroll, ’whoosh,’ and teleported back to the Human Race Imperial City. Inspired by him, thousands of players also returned to the city. With the leaders of the four guilds gone, there was no one to enforce discipline—it all came down to personal conscience.

"Guys, I’ve figured it out; it’s that undead skeleton causing all the trouble!"

An incredulous berserker player stared at Su Ran’s figure, shouting, "Look, look at that mysterious item in the weird skeleton’s hands—it’s releasing all these ghosts and monsters!"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Damn, it’s true; the skeleton’s holding a new item!"

"Shit, what random event boss; that skeleton is definitely a player. If I’m wrong, I’ll eat shit on a live stream!"

"I never imagined someone could have such a hidden profession!"

"Everybody shut up!"

Shuxin naturally was irritated by the players’ chatter and couldn’t help but shout angrily, his eyes revealing a deadly aura, his Lava Greatsword pointing straight ahead, "Charge in all of you, and if you die, your death shall be compensated by me! And yes, whoever personally slaughters that skeleton, I’ll personally reward them with a hundred thousand!"

"Haha, just waiting for Boss Shu’s words, brothers, for the territory, for Boss Shu, for our own interests, charge!"

"That undead skeleton, nobody better compete with me for it, hahaha!"

"Dream on, that skeleton is mine!"

Once the players received Shuxin’s guarantee, they surged into the village like a tidal wave, commencing a fierce battle with the Illusion Demons. Some players who were enraptured by the promise of reward lunged directly at Su Ran, all hoping to be the one to bag that diamond in the rough and scoop up the hundred thousand first!

"Time to make your move."

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Shuxin’s eyes as he opened the friend interface and sent this message, murmuring coldly to himself, "Su Ran, you forced my hand, don’t blame me for being heartless!"

...

"Huh?"

Su Ran, busy gathering souls from the corpses, was somewhat surprised as he noticed the fearless players continuing their assault and immediately commanded the thousands of Illusion Demons to charge forward and halt the players’ onslaught, buying precious time for the little stone to set up traps.

"Hehehe, little skeleton, you owe me one more time."

Yin Si, the conniving merchant, chuckled sinisterly, his eyes gleaming as he fixed his gaze on Su Ran’s pelvis, obviously coveting something valuable. Despite his frequent involvement, he didn’t show any signs of impatience.

Back then, it was a huge favor just to get the conniving merchant involved once, but now it had gone beyond Su Ran’s expectations.

But who cares, we’ll deal with the future later—it’s the current crisis that needs to be overcome!

"I will never forget the kindness of Lord Yin Si."

Su Ran’s voice was filled with gratitude; however, before he could continue, he was surprised to find that some players were charging in his direction.

"Damn it, that skeleton is mine, you all back off!"

"Get lost, you think you can snatch what the Dancing Demons guild has set its sights on? Watch out or you won’t be able to play the game!"

"What’s the big deal about Dancing Demons? We, the Tiger Supreme guild, are not afraid at all!"

As these players chased after Su Ran, they also didn’t forget to quarrel verbally, showing just how deep the grudge between the two guilds was—they were practically bursting with rage.

Upon hearing this, Su Ran was shocked, realizing from their words that he was the target of their attack!

"Since that’s the case, then I’ll have a good time playing with you!"

Bone Soul Ghost Fire blazed in Su Ran’s eye sockets as his jaw swung open, revealing a meaningful smile to the pursuing players before he turned and bolted.

"Damn it, I told you it was a player, but you wouldn’t believe me, and now he’s heard everything we said!"

The player at the forefront, seeing Su Ran turn to flee, spoke irritably in a low voice, "This is what you get for arguing, satisfied now?"

"Quit your yapping, chase him!"

"Shit, this kid’s fast; don’t lose him, that’s a hundred thousand in reward we’re talking about!"

With money as their motivation, these players chased after Su Ran with all their might, their determination akin to a bull in heat, resolute in not stopping until Su Ran was dead!

A hundred thousand in rewards?

The talker had no intention, but the listener was keen. Su Ran quietly mused to himself about who was so eager to take his life that they were willing to spend a fortune.

Soon, Su Ran had made it to the Demon-sealing Platform, where he stood with the Shadow Stone Controller in hand, smiling as he awaited the arrival of the players.

"This is bad, it’s a trick!"

A mage player felt a chill in his heart when he saw the grinning skull, getting goosebumps all over. His pace slowed drastically.

"If you’re afraid, then don’t follow; it’s safe to hide in the Imperial City, hahaha!"

The berserker player easily overtook him, laughing heartily. In his eyes, it was as if a hundred thousand in cash was lying before him—for him, killing this skeleton meant striking it rich!

"Fortune favors the bold, I’m all in!"

Stimulated by the mage player, unwilling to give up the easy reward, he cast aside any thoughts of a trap and unleashed a Rain of Fire spell that formed a sky of fire, targeting the skeleton below.

"You’ve got some nerve competing with me for the kill, looking for death?!"

Spying the mage’s preemptive strike, the berserker player became anxious and without any hesitation, he jumped up, using the Jump Cut skill. With his mace in hand, he hammered down at the unmoving undead skeleton.

"Click click."

Two sounds came from Su Ran’s mouth as if scoffing at their ignorance. Right before the two attacks reached him, he vanished in a flash of white light.

What Su Ran used was the ability of the Shadow Stone Controller, Instant Movement!

"What’s going on?"

"I knew it was a trap!"

It was too late for the two players to react as the Rain of Fire bombarded the Demon-sealing Platform.

"Boom!"

The Demon-sealing Platform shook violently, and a giant Bone Snake burst from within, coiling around the berserker in mid-assault and turning him into a twisted mess.

"Ah—help me out quickly!"

The berserker trembled terribly, his cries for help filled with pain as he desperately tried to escape the Bone Snake’s grasp. To his dismay, the other players turned tail and ran at the sign of danger, indifferent to his fate.

"Damn it!"

The berserker struggled fiercely, but the Bone Snake only coiled tighter, making it hard for him to even breathe. Soon, his health was depleted, and he died in frustration.

And this Bone Snake was none other than the King Snake, sealed by Su Ran himself within the Demon-sealing Platform!
