Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1261 - 1172: God Totem

"Phew."

After being enchanted by Soul Bewilderment, the cloud creature reverted from combat mode and turned back into soft, white clouds, which was much more pleasant to the eye.

"Pair of Wings, using your Soul Bewilderment skill here really seems like a waste!"

Su Ran landed from the sky reluctantly and poked the little zombie’s forehead with a finger, chastising it for not following commands and causing trouble. Seeing that the little zombie showed no signs of remorse, he just let it be.

Then, Su Ran turned his attention to the two cloud creatures, pinching their chubby cheeks. He almost couldn’t resist pinching off a piece to see if it was sweet.

"Mmmph."

Playful as ever, the little zombie jumped straight from the ossified centipede onto the arms of the cloud creature, bouncing between the two like on trampolines. It was having the time of its life, never tiring from the fun.

"Here, this is for you."

Su Ran pulled out a corpse from his bag and tossed it before the ossified centipede. Feeling guilty toward this pet, he tried to make amends by offering food.

The ossified centipede showed an elated mood, wrapping around the corpse and tearing into it. Even though it had shrunk in size, its appetite hadn’t decreased. In a short while, it devoured the corpse and even nodded toward Su Ran in thanks.

"If we don’t leave now, Big Smokey and the rest are probably getting impatient. Let’s head out!"

Su Ran grabbed the little zombie, placed it on the back of the ossified centipede, and had the Dark Bone Eagle lead the way. The Undead skeletons formed a line, creating quite the formation, even the march seemed breezy.

Along the way, more cloud creatures popped out from the clouds, all beaten to death by Su Ran’s menagerie of pets. They only dropped a few Cloud Cores, with the rest bursting apart, but the experience points were plenty. It seemed like a good place to level up.

Regarding these Cloud Cores, Su Ran glanced at them and realized they were special items without any attributes. He casually tossed them into his bag, thinking they might come in handy later.

"Overturning Water, bro, where are you? We’ve been waiting for you for ages!"

Unable to wait any longer, Big Smokey sent Su Ran a message, urging him to hurry over.

"I really don’t know, the journey’s been nothing but cloud creatures blocking the way."

Looking off into the distance, Su Ran couldn’t see a hint of the Divine Domain Main City, let alone his few teammates.

"I’m done with you, can’t you use a Calamity Avoiding Charm? What a waste of time you’re making!"

Big Smokey was getting exasperated with Su Ran, his voice softening considerably, "Hurry up, I’m waiting for you at the Main City..."

"I actually forgot about that, I’ll be there in a sec."

With the appearance of Pet Island, Deep Sea Fish Island had become a public map, and the rise of many players made finding the Sea Messenger no difficult task. The distribution of Calamity Avoiding Charms became a matter of course, probably the system’s intention. Otherwise, how would Deep Sea Fish Island be exposed like this?

Setting aside messy thoughts, Su Ran recalled all his pets and then used a Calamity Avoiding Charm, heading straight for the Divine Domain Main City.

It turned out that the Calamity Avoiding Charm worked wonderfully; no cloud creatures popped up along the way. After a ten-minute walk, he finally saw the main city that Big Smokey had mentioned. Even from afar, he could sense the grandeur and solemnity of the Main City, along with an air of ancient times.

"Overturning Water, bro, over here!"

Big Smokey, too anxious to wait, had come two miles out to meet Su Ran. Upon seeing him, he couldn’t help but complain, "Where’s your mount? Why didn’t you summon it? No wonder you’re so slow!"

"Nonsense, walking on these cloud paths feels so comfortable, you don’t get that sensation while riding a mount. If you can’t experience it in reality, how can you miss out on it in the game?"

Su Ran exclaimed with full justification, walking on clouds was a rare opportunity indeed, and it would be a shame to miss it!

"Overturning Water, my friend, after you’ve been to the Celestial Realm a few more times, you won’t feel that way anymore."

Smoke Enthusiast watched Su Ran with a sense of resignation, then turned and hurried towards Divine Domain Main City, "Hurry up and follow, Xiao Sheng and the others are getting anxious."

"Hey, you still haven’t told me what level of BOSS we’re going to kill? All this mobilization, we’re not going to slay a god, are we?"

Su Ran followed Smoke Enthusiast’s pace, asking doubtfully, "Just the few of us, slaying a god in the Divine Domain, you’re pretty bold!"

"What nonsense are you talking? Be careful the NPCs of the Celestial Realm hear you and make you regret it! We’re going to kill a monstrous creature of the God Race that almost devoured a Western Pilgrim. Its behavior is so abhorrent that not even a powerful backing can save it!"

"Western Pilgrim? Isn’t that just Tang Monk? What, does this game also have Journey to the West elements? Are we starting a quest to the Western Heaven?"

Now it was Su Ran’s turn to be surprised. He had not expected to find Tang Monk on the God-Demon Continent. Could it be that even Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were around? If he could make them his pets, wouldn’t that be delightful?

The head-turning rate would be an absolute hundred percent!

"Don’t overthink it, Overturning Water. This guy’s family name is ’West’, and his first name is ’Pilgrim’; the name was given by his father and has nothing to do with the Tang Monk from the pilgrimage, and there are even kids named after heroes in King of Glory. You’re making a big deal out of nothing!"

Smoke Enthusiast glanced at Su Ran disdainfully but secretly chuckled to himself. He remembered when he’d fallen for the same misunderstanding as Su Ran, rushing to ask NPCs where the Great Sage Sun Wukong was located. If he could have purchased the magic cudgel, that would have been amazing!

Little did he know that his question had confused the NPC. When Smoke Enthusiast finally understood the true meaning behind ’Western Pilgrim,’ he nearly choked on his own spit.

Seeing Su Ran’s surprised expression, Smoke Enthusiast felt immediately comforted and even looked down on him a little, feeling secretly thrilled.

"Even the BOSS we’re supposed to fight is on a wanted list; does that mean this Western Pilgrim has some significant background?"

Su Ran hit the nail on the head; he was preparing for his mission. If the Western Pilgrim was someone important, then his Sun God Bird wouldn’t have to worry about hatching.

"Who knows what background he has? The mission is issued by the Western Pilgrim himself. Whoever offends him gets the warrant. The old man is really ruthless!"

Just thinking about the NPC’s merciless nature made Smoke Enthusiast shudder. If it weren’t for this mission, he couldn’t care less about such trifles!

"Your task probably isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface, just don’t end up drawing fleas on yourself."

If it was just about killing a BOSS, there would be no need for such a big fuss. Su Ran sensed a whiff of conspiracy, though he had no nose to smell it with.

"Who cares, there are so many of us. The harder the mission, the higher the reward. If it’s a series of quests, that would be even more exciting!"

Not long after finishing his words, Smoke Enthusiast led Su Ran into Divine Domain Main City.

In the center of the city, there was a gigantic statue. To Su Ran’s amazement, the statue had twelve pairs of wings on its back, wore strangely styled armor, and held a massive hammer in each hand. The display of its muscular contours imparted an overwhelmingly formidable presence.

As for the face of the statue, it was shrouded in mist, completely obscuring the depicted features, which was precisely what puzzled Su Ran.

"This is the God Totem worshiped by the citizens of the Divine Domain, not to be desecrated. Overturning Water, you must be careful of this. Don’t ever touch it, or you’ll face the wrath of the entire God Race, and no one will be able to help you then."

Seeing Su Ran’s interest in the statue, Smoke Enthusiast explained immediately, fearing that Su Ran might not believe the seriousness of the situation, and repeated the severity of the matter.
