Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1618 - 1433: Dark Gold Treasure Chest (Two in One)

"Sand Puppet, hold the line for me!"

Su Ran believed in the strength of the Iron-blood Sand Puppet. Facing the three specters attacking, it should have the power to fight. He himself wasn’t idle either; he resummoned his pets. Only by then was his safety securely ensured.

The Iron-blood Sand Puppet did not disappoint Su Ran; it withstood the siege of the three specters. Not only that, but it was also able to counter-attack. A succession of straight punches sent the specters retreating repeatedly, unable to get close for a short period of time.

Su Ran sent his magic-class skeletons to aid the Sand Puppet, using the Detection Technique on these specters, discovering they were just level 35 minor monsters with very limited attack methods. They only had one Passive Skill[Fear], which somewhat surprised him. When attacked, there is a chance to cause the target’s psyche to collapse, rendering them unable to issue attack commands and losing control over their actions for a duration of 3 seconds.

This skill turned out to be a passive control skill, which is quite good!

Unexpectedly, it appeared on these minor monsters; truly a bit of a waste.

However, after several rounds of continuous battle, the Iron-blood Sand Puppet had not once entered a state of Fear, suggesting that the trigger rate for this Passive Skill must be very low, so low it almost served as a decoration.

Su Ran then lost interest in this Passive Skill and joined the fight against these specters.

"Hm-hm!"

The little zombie actually found these specters quite amusing. Without waiting for Su Ran’s command, it mounted the corpse centipede and darted out, weaving continuously among the green specks of light, activating all the specters and leading them in circles.

"You little bugger, earnestly causing chaos for me here!"

Watching the corpse centipede crawl around, as the little zombie transmitted joyful vibrations to him, Su Ran helplessly shook his head. However, he wasn’t worried about the safety of the little zombie; even if twice as many specters came, they posed no threat to its life. Let it have its fun...

Su Ran didn’t summon the Eternal Poison Serpent this time, but he did summon the Darknight Thunder Dragon to get some experience and hurry it to level 30, the sooner to enjoy the thrill of riding a dragon.

After appearing, the little mudskipper didn’t take these specters seriously, but instead swam into Su Ran’s embrace, coiling around his ribs, and settled down for a rest.

Su Ran didn’t have any complaints; there was nothing he could do since it was a dragon after all. Its loyalty wasn’t at full value yet, so this kind of strike was normal.

For Su Ran, these specters were no challenge at all. Even the summoned magic-class skeletons didn’t lose one, and he managed to kill all the specters before they could disappear.

It is worth mentioning that these specters dropped ten glass spheres, marked as quest items. It seems that they could be useful for the quest later, which shows that the time earlier wasn’t wasted.

Su Ran put all the glass spheres into his storage and continued forward.

About two to three minutes later, a two-meter-tall altar appeared before him.

"Is this a teleportation array? Or a summoning array?"

Su Ran moved in, out of curiosity, and upon closer inspection, he found ten notches on the altar, which matched the quantity and size of the glass spheres dropped by the specters.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Su Ran inserted the glass spheres into the notches, then bounced back as if electrocuted, fearing the altar might explode. If that happened, it would be too late to flee.

Thankfully, the worst did not come to pass. The altar emitted a grayish glow, which then shifted in color. Within a few short seconds, it turned from gray to a bright blood red.

Before he could acclimate to this color change, another anomaly occurred.

Countless veins emerged from the ground as if a network of blood vessels. The blood-red light rapidly moved along these veins, streaming toward the back, and in the blink of an eye, it was no longer visible.

"What’s going on here?"

Su Ran was somewhat dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events. He couldn’t figure out the purpose of this blood-colored light, and if it weren’t for the fear of failing the plot, he really wanted to dig up these veins to prevent the birth of any demons.

After the founding of the nation, no demons were allowed to cause trouble, didn’t you know?

Su Ran dared not delay any longer, and he decided not to take the path back. It didn’t matter what happened behind him; as long as the way wasn’t blocked, he was fine!

He ignored the altar and took a detour forward, but unexpectedly, a light screen appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

"You think you can stop me? Not so easy!"

Su Ran immediately entered a fusion state with the little zombie, utilizing its heaven-defying Unsealing ability to easily penetrate the light screen and pass through.

This way of clearing barriers was completely unconventional, probably even the system didn’t predict it.

"Not sure if the remaining hour and a half is enough, hopefully, no more trouble arises..."

Su Ran walked forward carefully, wary of any monsters spawning in the vicinity. He understood that within this terrain there must be a guardian BOSS. If it was easy to obtain this Heart of Mud, then the big mud monster would have come to fetch it itself; it wouldn’t need to go through this much trouble.

To be safe, Su Ran released the fusion with the little zombie and used the Elf Illusion Stone to transform into the appearance of an elf, acquiring the ability of night vision. All the dark elements before his eyes were dispelled, making the mysterious space thoroughly visible.

"Wow, a dark gold treasure chest!"

Su Ran unexpectedly discovered that ten meters ahead, there was a half-meter-high stone platform on which a dark gold treasure chest sat, devoid of even a speck of dust, very conspicuous.
