Online Game: Crazy Skeleton
Chapter 118 - 118 118 Nothing Exploded

118: Chapter 118: Nothing Exploded 118: Chapter 118: Nothing Exploded Su Ran continuously swung the burning paper in his hand, transforming it into streaks of fireballs that fiercely assaulted the body of the ferocious, ancient skeletal beast, the Scarlet King Snake.

Before long, something Su Ran wished he didn’t have to witness happened – the golden rat was torn into pieces by the Scarlet King Snake, splattering onto the ground and crushed into a bloody pulp.

Nothing exploded from it!

Su Ran was frustrated beyond belief.

This was a golden boss, and if he killed it, shouldn’t it have at least dropped a piece of golden armor?

Such a pity!

Channeling his frustration into strength, Su Ran hurled the burning paper with force towards the detestable Scarlet King Snake.

The Scarlet King Snake, under the incessant onslaught of the fireballs, let out a continuous roar of fury.

Its sharp teeth clenched and spewed out fire bullets in rapid succession, which flew towards the wretched little skeleton.

However, there was a shield barrier under Su Ran’s feet.

All those fire bullets were useless, blocked by the barrier.

They turned into greenish smoke and slowly dissipated.

As time slowly slipped by, Su Ran finally saw a glimmer of hope for victory!

The Scarlet King Snake had very little Qi Blood left and was struggling.

Su Ran couldn’t contain his excitement.

He wondered what loot he would get.

Platinum equipment?

A divine artifact?

Or perhaps the Ultimate Skill Book?

Just when Su Ran was engrossed in his daydreaming, something unexpected happened.

As the King Snake’s health dropped to critical levels, its entire skeleton suddenly radiated a dazzling light.

The whole skeleton was glowing like a jade gem, clear and transparent.

Looking at this scene, Su Ran was stunned.

Was this the prelude to a mutation, or a last-ditch effort before death?

Unfortunately, this bizarre scene lasted only for a few seconds.

The massive skeleton of the King Snake began to shake violently, the purple fire in its eyes dimmed, and looked like it would extinguish at any moment.

Suddenly, something no one could have predicted happened.

The enormous skeleton of the Scarlet King Snake shattered into fragments, ejecting long bones.

All that remained at the original spot was the faintly beating black heart.

Damn it!

This wretched system!

What the hell was this all about?

I am all geared and you show me this?

Where is the promised Platinum equipment?

Where are the divine artifact and the Ultimate Skill Book?

On the verge of tears, Su Ran watched the scene silently.

The shining Scarlet King Snake had pulled off a stunt none could have foreseen, catching him off guard and almost injuring his waist!

The little skeleton, enraged and ashamed, jumped straight into the origin of the barrier aura and rushed toward the location where the skeleton was scattered.

All it wanted to do now was to grind these bones into powder to vent its anger!

Well, any player would have felt the same frustration, having fought an elite boss for so long only to see it disappear at critical health.

Wouldn’t they feel like slamming their mouse?

However, when Su Ran spotted the faintly beating heart, his eyes suddenly lit up.

“I see, so this is the big gift you’ve given me, system!”

Laughing heartily, Su Ran casually took out a coffin, reverently placed the heart inside, then tossed it into the bladder.

He began leisurely gathering the scattered bones all around.

By the time Su Ran climbed back up and entered the sewers, twenty minutes had already passed.

“Damn, this Scarlet King Snake is perfect in every way except for its abundance of bones!”

Spitting in disgust, Su Ran strode away from this gloomy place.

Surprisingly, a bone wolf, its body emitting flames, passed through here, closely followed by a large swarm of Underground Crazy Rats…

Good job, Comrade Bone Wolf!

…

Su Ran was hugely satisfied with this trip to the Corpse Hiding Map.

He was brimming with joy.

He wanted to bid farewell to two beggars and leave the sewers.

However, when he was close to reaching the dilapidated house, a few players entered his line of sight.

He quickly hid himself and eavesdropped on their conversation.

If Su Ran had looked closely, he would have recognized these players.

They were his old acquaintances – Ice Mage Little You, Shield Warrior Hong Guang, and Berserker Mo Qian!

“Little You, it’s been really hard.

After over half a month, we finally got the Dark Breath.

This quest item is too difficult to obtain!” Mo Qian said, as he walked and rubbed his bald head, with a disgruntled look.

“That’s because the Dark Bone Lizard Boss respawns too slowly!” Said You Qian, dressed in a blue mage robe, kicking a pebble beneath her foot as she hopped along, a look of annoyance on her face.

Hong Guang, the one with the heavy shield, led the way in silence.

“Huh?” The front-runner, Hong Guang, suddenly exclaimed, “Come quickly, something’s not right with this house.”

“What’s wrong?” The two hurriedly took a few steps and reached him.

What they saw was the house, extremely shabby and completely vacant.

“What on earth?

Did the beggar move house?” Mo Qian was utterly baffled.

“Can NPCs in the game do this too?”

The three players searched from east to west without finding a single grain of rice.

The house was indeed thoroughly vacated.

“What the hell!” Mo Qian cursed.

Hadn’t their task been hard enough?

They had spent half a month waiting for the Dark Swamp’s Dark Bone Lizard BOSS to respawn, and their mining skills had splendidly leveled up to 4!

“Let’s go to the Imperial City to find them.

If they moved, they can’t be far!” Little You made the decision, feeling irritated.

No one else has done a quest to this extent.

Su Ran listened from a distance as the players’ voices grew fainter and fainter until he heard nothing.

Only then did he casually walk out.

So, the old beggar had moved house!

Su Ran was relieved.

He could imagine the young beggar growing happily under the sunshine.

But when could he himself experience that in reality?

…

In the Human Race’s Imperial City, the sun was high and the breeze was gentle.

Cloaked in a black robe, Su Ran walked down the street, heading straight for the administrative office in the North.

Suddenly, he remembered the old beggar’s warning – “Lad, never enter the shop in the northernmost part of the Imperial City.

It threatens your life.”

A life-threatening danger?

Su Ran frowned.

What exactly did the old man mean by his words?

Whatever, even if there were dangerous obstacles ahead, he must go.

Acquiring a proper identity was something he had to do.

In the northern part of the city, there was only one shop, and a household registration office.

Could it be the dangerous shop the old beggar warned him specifically about?

Su Ran looked at the sign above the shop; it was a bookstore.

What was this situation?

Why did the old beggar make it sound so ominous?

Su Ran was completely skeptical.

He strutted in, eager to see what kind of danger this bookstore was hiding!

Upon entering the bookstore, Su Ran cautiously looked around.

He saw a few players searching for Skill Books.

He found it strange, not seeing anything to be wary of.

Suddenly.

A book in plain cover caught Su Ran’s eye.

He swiftly picked it up, its contents making him want to laugh out of disbelief.

[Language Introduction](Universal)

Gain knowledge of the Human Race’s language upon use.

An identical Skill Book!

The price was 1 silver coin, while he himself had spent 50 gold coins to get it!

This old man must be feeling guilty…
