Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 2293 - 1794: Set Up (Double - )

But the fat guy was not so lucky. His weight doomed him to be unable to escape the grip of gravity. Accompanied by a scream of utter terror, he fell heavily, and with a ’thud’, there was no more sound from him.

"He...he’s not dead, is he?"

Creamy Scholar looked at the pit below with lingering fear. It was dark and bottomless, and they didn’t know what danger lay hidden below. Plus, the fat guy was silent, making one inevitably think he might have met with misfortune.

"He’s a shield warrior, he shouldn’t be dead from the fall. Don’t rush down; let me check it out first."

Su Ran, worried about an ambush, took out the Elf Illusion Stone, activating its transformation effect to gain night vision ability.

[Elf Illusion Stone](Special)

Affinity with natural elements, can transform into an elf appearance, magic +5%, agility +2, attack range +1, gains night vision ability.

Transformation lasts for 600 seconds, skill cooldown time is 60 minutes.

Note: Friendliness with the elf race never decreases when possessing the Elf Illusion Stone.

Having night vision ability is convenient; it allowed him to easily see everything hidden within the pit. At the moment he saw clearly, his expression became extremely grave. He turned to Creamy Scholar beside him and said, "Sister Scholar, there’s a seal below, and the fat guy has been petrified."

"Huh? What do we do? We don’t even know how long the seal lasts, we can’t just wait around, can we?"

Creamy Scholar didn’t doubt Su Ran’s words, as if encountering a complex problem, leaving her troubled.

"No rush, let me check the terrain again."

Su Ran calmed himself, looking down into the pit, discovering that the seal spread out like a spider web, extending around, with the fat guy at the center, confronted with a black statue. If not for his night vision ability, he really wouldn’t have found it.

This made it easy to deduce that the statue was likely the quest NPC. Whether the fat guy could escape hinged critically on this statue!

These are game mechanics; they are not difficult at all.

Fortunately, the petrification status didn’t last long, and the fat guy quickly got up, grabbing the statue into his arms.

"Spilt Water, get down here quickly, there’s a teleportation array inside!"

The fat guy, after obtaining the statue, appeared particularly excited, which was evident from his tone and expression. He continuously signaled to Su Ran in mid-air to come down quickly and enter the hidden teleportation array.

"Huh? Was I mistaken?"

Su Ran just realized his previous guess about the game mechanics was wrong. Fortunately, he hadn’t said it out loud, or it would have been a bit embarrassing.

"Let’s go, the danger is cleared."

Creamy Scholar dropped a word, first controlling Firebird to fly into the pit below. Without the statue’s blessing, the formation lost its effect, leaving her unaffected.

Firebird carried its own light source, dyeing the pit in a crimson hue. After adapting to the lighting, Creamy Scholar was quickly drawn to the statue in the fat guy’s hands.

She quickly jumped off Firebird, ran to the fat player’s side, and curiously asked, "What’s the statue in your hand? Can you see its attributes?"

"It’s a formation stone with petrifying effects. It’s just a quest item. After entering this teleportation array, the NPC should appear."

The fat guy tightly hugged the statue and walked first towards the teleportation array ahead, glancing back to see Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained jumping into the pit, which reassured him to boldly enter the teleportation array.

"Spilt Water, should we go in? I feel like there’s danger in this teleportation array; my sixth sense tells me so."

Unbeknownst to herself, after teaming up with Su Ran, Creamy Scholar had grown increasingly reliant on him, unable to show any of a guild leader’s decisiveness. Such changes were noticeable only by those familiar with her.

"The fat guy has gone in; how can we retreat before battle? Come on, let’s go see!"

Su Ran was also curious about the statue’s use and the NPC in the tomb. Even without the fat guy leading, he would surely venture in himself, as it was a rare opportunity not to be missed, wasn’t it?

However.

Su Ran had just stepped into the teleportation array when an urgent voice came from behind.

"Kill!!!"

What?! 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Su Ran was initially stunned, then clearly saw the current situation: dozens of warriors were glaring at him menacingly. At a command, they charged directly, giving him no time to prepare. The incoming swords and blades made his legs tense, and a chill surged from his heart to his head.

At this moment, he couldn’t fail to understand the situation — damn it, he had been set up!

At this critical juncture, Su Ran directly triggered the Bone Burst skill, gaining three seconds of invulnerability, resisting the attacks.

Immediately afterward, he intended to activate the stealth state, attempting to elude these players’ entanglements first. He had already decided, if he saw this cunning fat guy again, he wouldn’t let him off easily!

Unfortunately.

The skill failed to activate.

"Hahaha, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained! I know you have an invincibility skill. See that statue? It can trigger a skill prohibition zone, which means in this area, you can’t use any skills!"

The fat guy’s smug voice rang out from the crowd, "The so-called Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained can be so naive, how ridiculous. The ten thousand gold coin bounty on your head is as good as mine!"

"Damn, fat guy, you’re despicable!"

Su Ran was flustered, having his skills blocked, surrounded by frenzied warriors; he was truly in the most dangerous situation ever, likely to perish at any moment. If he died so easily, he would die too disgracefully!

"Hahaha, this is the art of war — luring the snake out of its hole, capturing by letting go, ruse of self-injury, I was sure you’d take the bait! To deal with you, I nearly got my head reshaped with a hoe, was it easy?"

The fat guy recalled his earlier experiences, almost wanting to vomit blood. He had staged a scene of soul-body separation to lure Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained down, but failing to deceive him meant choosing this terrain.

Luckily, this teleportation array wasn’t wasted and managed to draw him in after all.

This time, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained must meet his end, earning both the ten thousand bounty and clearing a personal grudge!

Occupying the right time, place, and people, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained could hardly escape!

"Fat guy, I thought you were honest and worth befriending; who’d have thought you’re such an insidious villain! Truly, to know a person’s face is not to know their heart!"

As Su Ran spoke, he retreated, trying to step back onto the teleportation array, attempting to escape from here first.

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, don’t harbor delusions. This teleportation array is one-way; you can’t go back. Just accept your fate. This way, your death will have some dignity. When recording, you won’t look so pathetic, don’t you agree?"

The fat guy chuckled, savoring his triumph, then said, "Attack!"

"Kill!!!"

The group of frenzied warriors kept closing in on Su Ran, almost within two meters, surrounding him tightly and sealing off his escape route.

"Who dares!"

At this moment, Firebird descended from the sky, grabbing Su Ran by the shoulders to fly into the air, dodging the frenzied warriors’ attacks.

Fortunately, the quality of the Illusion Demon’s black robe was decent and wasn’t torn by Firebird’s claws; otherwise, there’d be no place to cry.

"Thank you, Sister Scholar!"

Su Ran retreated because he knew Sister Scholar would soon teleport over; he placed his life on her, and it proved he bet right.

"Haha, what’s with the thanks, we’re family. I’ve been staying at your place without a word of thanks, and now you’re acting strange!"

Creamy Scholar flashed Su Ran a sweet smile, though it was blocked by her veil, unseen by him.

"..."

Hearing the words ’we’re family,’ Su Ran was speechless and simply looked down at those people below, pondering how to turn the tables on them.

Without skills, defeating this crowd is tough!

"Damn it, what do you think you’re doing? The duck to the mouth has flown away!"

The fat guy yelled furiously at his subordinates, keeping his eyes on Su Ran above, "Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, don’t think that being in the air makes you safe. See this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out a water-blue stone, raising it above his head, aiming directly at Firebird in the air.

"Not good, Air-restriction Stone!!!"
