Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1686 - 1473: Boss Attack

"Paralysis Technique?"

Su Ran was overjoyed upon hearing this. Having already seen the attributes of the Weakening Technique, how could he not guess the attributes of the Paralysis Technique? Definitely from the same brand!

Thinking about this, he could hardly contain his excitement. He grabbed the glowing red talisman in his hand and looked at its attributes.

[Paralysis Technique](Talisman)

Stick it onto a target, reducing their agility to zero. Duration: 60 seconds. Can only be used in Stone Space, outside of which the talisman will disappear.

As expected!

Just as Su Ran had anticipated, this was indeed the same type of talisman, except its paralysis effect was extended to one full minute!

A minute—so much can be done in that time, like taking a smoke break if you’re worn out, or chatting with your girlfriend about life and ideals.

"Overturning Water, why aren’t you digging anymore? Did you hit another jackpot?"

At this moment, Qing Qi was brimming with anticipation for this grave-digging activity. If they could find another Weakening Talisman, dealing with the two bosses would be as easy as pie—and grinding bosses would become completely effortless!

The appearance of this talisman was like activating a cheat in this mission space, which gave her hope for completing the task, even with the curveball thrown in by that wildcard player. No big deal!

"You got it! This time it’s the Paralysis Technique, which stops the boss from moving for a minute. Very handy."

Su Ran answered honestly, carefully stashing the talisman away as though it were a treasure, then resumed digging at the stone in front of him.

"One minute of immobility? Wow, this talisman combined with the Weakening Technique is an unbeatable combo! The bosses won’t stand a chance—the likelihood of killing them just shot way up!"

Even as a spectator, Qing Qi was worked up, her voice unintentionally rising in excitement.

"Clang! Clang!"

The sound of a beginner’s pickaxe striking rock echoed in the stone pit. Qing Qi didn’t find it annoying at all; instead, she felt the rhythm was too slow. She wished Su Ran would dig faster and see if he could uncover more potent talismans.

As Su Ran continued digging, a trace of doubt crept into his heart. The guy in the green hat had taken the bosses away for quite some time now—what exactly was he up to, and where had he gone? It was all a mystery.

The green-hatted player was always full of schemes; dragging away the bosses was just a front. Clearly, his real motive was revenge against Su Ran. But Su Ran had no idea how the guy planned to retaliate. Whatever it was, it couldn’t be good. So long as Su Ran didn’t fall for his tricks, he didn’t care how the guy raged. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"Clang! Clang!"

Su Ran devoted himself to digging at the stone. Unexpectedly, the system seemed to freeze up—it stopped giving notification sounds entirely. Su Ran started to suspect that the stone had no more loot inside and that continuing to dig might just be a wasted effort.

Still, even with these doubts, Su Ran’s enthusiasm remained undeterred. He was one of those who refused to back down until he saw it through. He wouldn’t stop until this stone was fully excavated!

Thankfully.

Fortune favors the persistent. Once the stone was whittled down to the size of a soccer ball, the system finally chimed in.

"Ding! Congratulations, player Skeleton, you’ve obtained a special item: Soul Luring Incense!"

"Soul Luring Incense? What kind of item is that?"

Su Ran didn’t rush to check the incense’s properties. He kept digging the remaining bits of rock. Since the Soul Luring Incense was already his, finishing up came first!

Once this stone was fully excavated, there’d be no regrets. Even if the green-hatted guy returned with the bosses, Su Ran could focus entirely on dealing with them without any lingering concerns about unfinished grave-digging.

During the next phase of digging, the system seemed to go berserk—it chimed twice more, which thrilled Su Ran to no end. He dug with even greater vigor.

Suddenly.

A muffled rumbling echoed from several ground holes, causing the earth to tremble. Su Ran staggered and almost fell.

"Overturning Water, stop digging! The bosses are coming out!"

Qing Qi saw clearly what was happening and shouted urgently, "Get up here quickly! Don’t risk it!"

"Got it!"

Su Ran grabbed the stone and leapt into the air. Right before the bosses emerged, he flew out of the pit, narrowly avoiding disaster.

"What’s wrong with you? Is a stone more important than your life?"

Qing Qi was fuming. "Don’t you get it? If you die, everything’s gone!"

"Hey, I made it out fine, didn’t I? Besides, there were just a few strikes left to finish digging it up. Waste not, want not!"

Su Ran didn’t bother checking what was unfolding in the pit. He tossed the stone onto the ground and kept digging, calling out over his shoulder, "Qing Qi, keep an eye on this spot. Let me finish up first!"

"Dig, dig, dig! Go ahead and dig all you want! You’re completely obsessed! Even if the boss is right in your face, you’d still keep digging!"

Qing Qi was baffled by Su Ran’s behavior. Things had reached such a critical point, yet he was still preoccupied with this rock. Wasn’t he throwing away a good opportunity?

"Just a few more strikes to go!"

Su Ran said no more. He focused entirely on the stone. But before he could strike twice more, two explosions echoed from the pit, and two Stone Monsters shot up, landing on the ground.

"Boom! Boom!"

The sight of Su Ran still digging enraged the two monsters. With fury, they charged straight at him. The earthquake-like tremors they caused were enough to make anyone quail at the thought of facing them head-on.

"Overturning Water, stop digging that damned rock and run!"

Qing Qi was pale with fright. When she saw Su Ran acting as if nothing was wrong and still focused on his stone, she flew into a rage. Extending her foot, she kicked at the broken piece of stone, yelling, "You’re still digging?! Are you suicidal?! Ow!"

By sheer coincidence, just before Qing Qi’s foot connected, Su Ran’s pickaxe smashed the stone to bits, and her foot struck the sharp edge of the pickaxe instead. A rush of pain surged from her sole to her head, and she instantly lost mobility, collapsing to the ground clutching her foot in agony. She completely forgot about the two approaching Stone Monster bosses.

"Look at that—what are you even doing?!"

Su Ran glanced at the bosses drawing closer, then at Qing Qi, who could no longer walk. The situation had turned precarious, and he couldn’t help but complain in his mind: the pickaxe didn’t do anything to her, yet it was unfairly targeted. What a grievance!

"Overturning Water, you bastard!"

Qing Qi yelled furiously while clutching her foot and glaring at Su Ran. She hadn’t expected him to shift blame onto her instead. Unable to respond, she was overcome with frustration, pain, and desperation. She cursed to vent her emotions—it didn’t solve anything, but at least she felt somewhat better.

She had already resigned herself to death. At this point, the two Stone Monsters were less than three meters away. Unable to move and in a disadvantageous position, even with the two talismans, the odds of reversing the situation seemed slim...

Qing Qi simply ducked her head, shut her eyes, and clutched her foot, waiting for the inevitable.

"Look at you, scared stiff. With me here, what’s there to fear?"

Su Ran grinned, leaping past Qing Qi and charging directly toward the two bosses. Before leaving, he tossed back one last line: "Don’t give up until the very last moment!"
