Chapter 1681: Chapter 1469: The Annoying Stone Grave (Two in One)_2

"I couldn’t care less! If you dig up bones or something, don’t let me see it, you hear?!"

Qing Qi felt a chill in her heart. Back when she was doing this special task, not a single person would dare to touch these graves. Why was it that here in Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, they just had to mess with the stone graves?

Could this be how experts normally operate?

"Qing Qi, girl, you said it yourself. Any treasures we dig up, I won’t share with you! Even if you regret it later, it’s no use!"

Su Ran chuckled mischievously, then led his army of pets toward the stone pit, leaving Qing Qi behind. He didn’t forget to add, "If you encounter any danger, just send me a message or shout. I’ll come save you as fast as I can."

"Like I’d regret it! Those dead people’s belongings—I’d never take them, even if given for free! Also, that stone pit’s a real danger zone, so don’t let your guard down. If the BOSS ambushes you, don’t say I didn’t warn you!"

"My pets aren’t here for show! If the BOSS wants my life, it’ll have to get through them first!"

Su Ran glanced at his pets: the Ancient Venomous Flood Dragon, the Iron-blood Sand Puppet, the Little Zombie, and the Thunder Bat. These were all heavy hitters. Plus, the Shield Warrior Skeletons were in the front line. Even if a Rock Monster BOSS spawned, breaking through this flashy pet lineup wouldn’t be easy.

In that, he was confident.

"Suit yourself. Do whatever you want to those graves. As long as your conscience can take it."

Qing Qi couldn’t argue with Su Ran, so she let it go. For reasons she couldn’t explain, she felt a twinge of sympathy for these graves. The people were dead, and yet they couldn’t find peace. These grave robbers were truly despicable!

"It’s just a game. What’s there to guilt-trip over? Alright, off I go to dig up some graves!"

Su Ran shook his head with a smile, quickly making his way to the stone pit with his pets, jumping right in.

"Sigh."

Qing Qi let out a long sigh, a look of hesitation in her eyes. She stood there, lost in thought, wondering if disturbing the stone graves would impact the quest. If messing with the flow of the mission caused chaos, what then?

Whatever, why stress over it? It’s just a quest. Worst case, give it up. There wasn’t even a failure penalty. Still... what a waste of that mission reward—a level-35 dark-gold item. Sure, the level was on the lower side, but selling it would’ve fetched a decent sum...

At this point, she could only let Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained mess around however he wanted. She’d already braced herself for the worst. The quest had failed once before anyway. One more time wouldn’t change much.

But then...

Things didn’t go as smoothly for Su Ran as he had imagined. After jumping into the pit, he didn’t even have time to start digging before the three tombstones began to slowly sink. They quickly disappeared into the stone grave, leaving only narrow stone seams behind to prove the tombstones ever existed.

"What the heck? This is spooky—these tombstones are scared of people?"

Rather than being frightened by this phenomenon, Su Ran was thrilled. The tombstones acting this way meant they weren’t ordinary—they were treasures with sentience!

As for what the tombstones actually did, he’d only know once he dug them up.

At this moment, Su Ran thought of the Illusion Demon Tablet he’d obtained before. It was thanks to that crucial artifact that he managed to avoid the trouble of having his identity exposed. It was his biggest trump card in the God-Demon Continent!

If these three tombstones had abilities on par with the Illusion Demon Tablet, that would be fantastic.

However, reality was often more disappointing than dreams. Su Ran had only swung his shovel once when the stone grave collapsed, revealing a deep, bottomless hole.

"A fake grave?!"

Su Ran found it hard to believe his eyes. Unwilling to give up, he dug at another stone grave beside it, only to have the same thing happen. Another deep hole appeared, with no sign of any tombstone.

"Damn it, the system played me!"

Su Ran finally accepted that these stone graves were just for show. He didn’t even get a blade of grass, let alone grave loot. Could these even be called graves?! Not even a sliver of self-respect from them!

"What’s wrong now?"

Not far away, Qing Qi heard Su Ran’s grumbling and looked over in surprise. "Who played you this time?"

"Qing Qi, girl, what’s your ear made of? How do you always catch the key words so clearly?"

Su Ran yelled back indignantly, "Come over and see for yourself! These stone graves have nothing in them—they’re all fake!"

"Impossible! Weren’t the tombstones standing right there? Even if you couldn’t dig anything up, at least you should’ve gotten a tombstone! Spilt Water, I feel like you’re messing with me!"

Qing Qi spoke as she approached the stone pit. By then, her curiosity had overtaken her fear. She peered down and widened her eyes in shock.

"What’s wrong with this world? Even graves have knockoff versions now?"

Looking at the two bottomless holes and Su Ran’s disgruntled face, Qing Qi couldn’t help but chuckle. "There’s still one grave left—the biggest one. Maybe it’ll surprise you. Go ahead, dig! I’m rooting for you—spiritually!"

"Oh, sure. And where was your ’spiritual support’ earlier?"

Su Ran grumbled, "You just want to watch me struggle!"

"Haha, you figured me out. Honestly, I just want to see how this last grave disappears."

"Fine, then I’ll satisfy your curiosity!"

Even without Qing Qi’s goading, Su Ran wouldn’t leave the biggest stone grave untouched. He raised his beginner shovel and swung it hard at the grave. By now, Su Ran had mentally prepared himself. Even if the grave collapsed again, it wouldn’t shake him.

"Clang!"

Something unexpected happened. The grave didn’t disappear. When his shovel struck, the sound of metal clashing echoed, and a crack formed in the stone.

"Haha! This grave has potential!"

Su Ran immediately perked up. Forget about Qing Qi—he was now fully immersed in digging. The sound of his shovel striking echoed continuously, forming a strange yet exhilarating rhythm.

"Gross!"

Qing Qi had no interest in watching Su Ran dig. She quickly moved away, not wanting to get involved in any "unclean" business. Her heart was pounding, and her face turned slightly pale.

At that critical moment, the ground at the bottom of the pit began to shake violently. Positioned at the epicenter of the tremors, Su Ran nearly stumbled. Thankfully, he reacted quickly, immediately activating the Treading on Air Technique to hover in midair. He wanted to see what the stone pit was up to this time. freēwēbnovel.com

Su Ran might have dodged the sudden disaster, but his pets weren’t so lucky. Under the intense shaking, all of the Shield Warrior Skeletons fell into the two holes, followed by the Iron-blood Sand Puppet. It didn’t take much imagination to realize their fate was grim.

"Spilt Water, what’s going on? Why’s there an earthquake?"

Qing Qi, standing at a distance, barely felt the tremors and hadn’t been affected much. She was utterly baffled by the mission now and could only pin her hopes on Su Ran, praying for a miracle.

"Wait, you mean you guys didn’t encounter anything like this when running the mission before?"

Su Ran glanced at Qing Qi’s bewildered expression and confirmed that this was all the doing of the last grave. However, this didn’t dampen his enthusiasm for it. Once the tremors subsided, he intended to continue his grave-digging crusade. There was no way he’d stop until the grave was completely emptied!

"How could we have seen something like this? If you hadn’t gone and messed with that grave, none of this would’ve happened!"

Qing Qi was about to lash out at Su Ran when suddenly, two Rock Monster BOSSes emerged from the two holes.

"Spilt Water, watch out! BOSSes are here!"

"I see them! These two are level-35 golden BOSSes—they’re certainly worth a fight!"

Battle excitement ignited in Su Ran. The two BOSSes were like gatekeepers standing in his way. Only by defeating them could he proceed with digging up the grave!

From Su Ran’s accumulated experience, any grave capable of causing such upheaval had to contain treasure!

He was determined to claim this grave. Not even BOSSes could stop his resolve. At this moment, he had only one thought: take down these two Rock Monsters, then completely unearth the grave!

"Attack!"
