Online Game: Crazy Skeleton

"Everyone, follow me!"

Shuxin commanded the few remaining players to retreat about fifty meters, watching the village with a wary face as if waiting for something.

The players behind her, however, were utterly confused, their minds filled with doubts. Has this woman lost a memory stick in her brain? With only so few forces left, how could she not give up yet?

To put it in an unpleasant way, if all these people charged together, they wouldn’t even be enough to get stuck in the undead Bone Dragon’s teeth! Not to mention the several powerful bosses!

But what on earth did this woman mean?

Not attacking or retreating, what was the point of just standing there? It would be more enjoyable to die in the village!

"Boss Shu, I don’t mean to be nosy, but could you please share your plan? Let us in on it, so we know what’s happening, don’t you agree?"

The leader of a small guild couldn’t stand it anymore, as nearly no one around him was without complaints. If they just let this woman continue her madness, there probably wouldn’t be many obedient people left after a while.

"Drawing the snake out of its hole!"

...

Skeleton Village.

"Haha, there are souls everywhere, it’s so exhilarating!"

Su Ran hurried to collect the souls lingering in the corpses, and in no time, he had easily gathered over two thousand crystals. And that was just from a small portion of the bodies, as he couldn’t attend to so many corpses by himself and had to watch them turn into white light and vanish.

What a pity.

"It’s nothing. Where there is territory, there is strife. In the future, this kind of battle for domination will probably be commonplace, and opportunities for a feast of corpses like this will be plenty!"

With a hehe, Su Ran rummaged through the newly obtained crystals and was pleasantly surprised to find that he had luckily obtained 200 Cooldown Crystals, as well as ten Berserk Crystals and three Lucky Crystals.

"My luck today isn’t bad; to be able to extract such top-notch crystals, the system is really generous!"

Although attack skills can’t have their cooldowns reduced, summoning skills should work, and the skill he found most practical was Time Rewind!

Cooldown Crystals + Time Rewind skill, simply a golden duo!

Looking at the Corpse Soul Pot in his hands, Su Ran grew even fonder of it. Without exaggeration, it was an ultra-superior auxiliary item! Especially the Cooldown Crystals, used properly, they could definitely turn the tables in a dire situation!

"Lord Brother, when can the next wave of attacks come? If these humans don’t come soon, my traps will disappear!"

Little Stone felt anxious, muttering gloomily, "It’s not easy to make a trap, why don’t these foreigners appreciate my hard work?"

Su Ran broke into a sweat.

But speaking of which, Little Stone’s Magic Trap skill was quite perverse. Once completed, it could cover half of the village, and if triggered, most of the players would be unlucky. However, the traps activated only control-centric skills; they could trap enemies but lacked the ability to kill.

"Don’t worry, there’ll be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Su Ran reassured Little Stone with a smile, about to say something more when he noticed Yin Si and the Drought Fiend approaching.

"Wu ahh."

The Drought Fiend tried to say something to Su Ran but couldn’t express itself, flailing its arms and babbling in desperation.

"Little Skeleton, now that the crisis in our territory is resolved, isn’t it time we settled our accounts?"

Yin Si moved his somewhat stiff bone arms, looking meaningfully at Su Ran’s bladder and chuckling ominously.

"Swoosh!"

Before Su Ran could reply, the undead Bone Dragon King in the sky once again transformed into a black mist and was sucked into the ancient Beast King’s Coffin. The coffin lid settled back into place, restoring calm.

"Lord Yin Si, the crisis isn’t over yet. Look, that group of aliens is still eyeing us from a distance, ready to launch an attack at any time. As long as this malignant tumor isn’t removed, I can’t be at ease!"

Instinctively, Su Ran blocked his groin, but then he thought about how all of his treasures had already been eyed by this crafty merchant, and blocking now would be superfluous. So, he simply let his legs fall open, allowing the crafty merchant to look as he pleased.

"Heh heh, with just this bit of force left, they’re hardly a threat."

Yin Si chuckled with a heh heh, the Soul Fire flickering in his eye sockets, "Now then, tell me, how do you plan to repay us, respected Skeleton Village chief?"

"Er, look at my memory, I’ve actually forgotten the important matter. Lord Yin Si, you’ve worked hard. This is the top-grade restoration medicinal herb I’ve prepared especially for you, Graveyard Grass, as well as the top-grade magic item for restoring magic power, Incense, let’s restore our condition first before anything else."

Su Ran generously took out a handful of green Graveyard Grass and several sticks of Incense. Without any hesitation, he handed these treasures to Yin Si. As for the Drought Fiend, she belonged to the Ghost Clan and could not enjoy such miraculous items.

However,

Yin Si did not take them, but instead had a darkened face, his jaw trembling slightly, obviously infuriated by Su Ran.

"Lord Yin Si?"

"Don’t speak yet, allow me to ponder over my words."

"What’s there to consider? Just take them and it’s done. These treasures are what I’ve dug up with hard work, I wouldn’t just give them to anyone..."

Su Ran was speaking enthusiastically, but as soon as he saw Yin Si’s increasingly grim face, he very consciously shut his mouth.

"I am considering how to scold you in a way that relieves my anger but won’t be censored by the rules."

"Cough cough."

Su Ran quickly stowed away the Graveyard Grass and Incense, asking awkwardly with a forced smile, "Lord Yin Si is too serious, just state your demand. Let’s not be on different pages and cause any misunderstandings."

"Little skeleton, observing beneath you, I’ve detected the aura of the Divine Phoenix. Could I take a look..."

"No way."

"Don’t panic; I just want to take a look."

"Not a chance."

"You’re really stingy. Forget it, I won’t make it difficult for you. Just give me a thousand of the 36,718 Cooldown Crystals you have, and we’ll call it even, how about that?"

Damn it!

Is this not making things difficult?

Hordes of grass mud horses galloped past Su Ran’s vision, cruelly making a round trip.

"Lord Yin Si has such sharp eyes! But these Cooldown Crystals are irreplaceable treasures. Once used, one less remains; I also can’t bear to use them on normal days! The thousand you want now would be like cutting flesh from my heart!"

"In the future, when external enemies invade, I will surely lend a hand, no further payment required!"

"Lord Yin Si, please take these, here are a thousand Cooldown Crystals."

Fearing that the crafty merchant would go back on his word, Su Ran swiftly took out the Cooldown Crystals, cheerfuly saying, "Lord Yin Si, from now on, the protection of the domain is in your capable hands~!"

"You brat, you don’t act unless you see the rabbit, fine. This domain has beautiful scenery with mountains and waters, it would be a pity if it fell into thieves’ hands."

Yin Si turned and left. In the span of a few breaths, he was already out of sight, leaving behind only a sentence carried by the wind, "Little skeleton, I’m tired today, don’t bother me again. Deal with those aliens outside the domain yourself~!"
