Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1626 - 1438: Fire Pond Rescue (Two in One)

"This..."

Feeling utterly unwilling from the bottom of his heart, Big Smoker just couldn’t bear to hand over the pet he finally acquired to complete the task — how could that be okay! He struggled with resignation, "There are plenty of black Pet Eggs out there, it doesn’t have to be this one..."

"Stop the nonsense, hand it over, I’m giving it back to you later anyway!"

At this moment, Youtong was like a tigress, glowering and puffing her cheeks at Big Smoker, not forgetting to threaten him by raising her little fist.

Big Smoker immediately capitulated, reluctantly handing over the Pet Egg to Youtong, his heart bleeding. This was a descendant of a golden Mudman, with a lineage absolutely genuine; how low could its rank possibly be?

Pity that one can’t have the best of both worlds. For that dead Snow Rat, he had to sacrifice his pet. No choice, since Youtong is his girlfriend, right?

"Senior, please check, is this the egg you need?"

Youtong blurted out on impulse, "Didn’t expect you to be hatched from an egg too, just like my family’s old hen, what a coincidence."

"..."

The comment stunned everyone around, even Big Mudman was at a loss for words.

"Youtong, you can really kill a conversation..."

Creamy Idol couldn’t help but pull on Youtong to stop her from babbling nonsense.

"Ah?"

Only then did Youtong realize how awkward her comment had been, quickly covering her mouth, daring not to say any more.

"Human, your luck amazes me, you found my child so quickly, so I too must keep my promise and tell you the whereabouts of that Snow Rat."

Big Mudman solemnly placed the Pet Egg on the throne, then continued, "That Snow Rat barged into the territory of the Mud Tribe and has been captured by my people. It was thrown into the fire pool to undergo blazing torment. If you want to see it, you can only go there. Asking me to release it is impossible; everything depends solely on your own abilities."

"Thanks for the guidance, senior. We’ll be back after completing the task."

Youtong could hardly bear to stay any longer, anxiously grabbing Creamy Idol’s hand and running towards the outside, her heart almost leaping out of her chest.

"Youtong, don’t panic. Didn’t you hear what the Mudman said, it’s just a severe punishment, they don’t intend to kill it. We know the location of the fire pool, and we also have a Fire Avoidance Talisman, giving you ten minutes of safety. It should be enough for you to subdue that Snow Rat."

Creamy Idol, feeling somewhat helpless, freed himself from Youtong’s grasp, fearing that continuing like this would make them look foolish.

"Right, Youtong, what’s yours will eventually be yours, and what’s not, won’t be no matter how hard you try. Relax, the clue has been found, that’s good news, right?"

Gu Yue said soothingly, her mood upbeat. Good thing she hadn’t competed with Big Smoker for that Pet Egg. She had been suspecting that no quest produces two dark gold pets; the system wouldn’t bleed that generously, and this really confirmed her suspicions.

Meanwhile, Big Smoker hung his head, looking half-dead, losing that Pet Egg felt like cutting out a piece of his own heart, contrasting sharply with Gu Yue’s mood.

"I’ll accompany you down there when the time comes. This Fire-Resistant Mask allows me to ignore fire damage for three minutes; it should be able to help you."

The words from Su Ran acted like a tranquilizer, calming Youtong’s nerves instantly.

Since they had already discussed the properties of the Fire-Resistant Mask, it didn’t stir much surprise and they swiftly left the underground space.

The fire pool wasn’t too far from the cave, and they quickly arrived at its edge. At that moment, the fire pool was covered with a thick layer of hard ice, with no trace of flame seeping through, undoubtedly the work of the icy terrain.

"This truly seems like fate’s design. We thought using the icy terrain would help us avoid the fire pool, but look, here we are back at it."

Creamy Idol shook his head and smiled, turning to Big Smoker, "Big Smoker, go wreck that formation. Smash the stones, only with the icy terrain gone can we see the fire pool."

"Okay!"

Sabotaging was something Big Smoker was more than willing to do, and he quickly ran over to the stage to start his violent spree.

"Creamy Idol, give me that Fire Avoidance Talisman."

Once the icy terrain disappeared, the ice layer began to melt, and large amounts of steam condensed in the air, soon vanishing.

As the temperature of the fire pool continued to rise, flames burned more fiercely, regaining their original blazing form.

"Overturning Water, come help, I’m scared to do this alone..."

For the first time, Youtong took such a big risk for her dark gold pet, steeled herself, tore the talisman and jumped directly into the fire pool.

Indeed.

Coming from the system, it was a genuine artifact. Protected by the Fire Avoidance Talisman, Youtong was unharmed, something she found almost unbelievable. She didn’t have time to ponder, with a plunge, she dove down, swallowed by the flames.

Su Ran didn’t think twice either, and activated the Blazing Fire Divine Curse skill, following her into the jump.

Inside the fire pool, it was as clear as the sea, devoid of impurities, and it was easy to spot the snowy white figure at the bottom.

"Mmm, mmm!"

Being in the fire pool, Youtong instinctively dared not speak, afraid of scalding her tongue. She pointed towards the white body below, looking very excited.

"Don’t waste time, I only have three minutes, not as long as you."
