Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1597 - 1422: Who is the Real Culprit (Two in One)_3

Of course, ice arrows don’t actually number in the tens of thousands, and skeletons don’t have hearts. This is just hyperbolic rhetoric, and it would be wrong to take it too literally.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

The ice arrows continuously struck those ten shield-bearing skeleton warriors. After a barrage of attacks, no significant casualties occurred, so Su Ran hurriedly commanded these skeletons to retreat.

Fortunately, those snowman witches didn’t seem intent on continuing their pursuit, returning instead to dancing around the ice sculpture of the Big Smoke Ghost, livelier even than a campfire dance.

Through this probe, it was confirmed that these snowman witches indeed possessed lethal power, and should not be approached.

"Damn it, at such a distance, it’s impossible to identify the true culprit. What should we do now?"

Youtong felt an urgent sense of helplessness, placing her hopes on Cream Puff, trusting that she would come up with a solution to the problem and quickly rescue the Big Smoke Ghost.

"I’ve discovered an important clue."

Cream Puff didn’t disappoint Youtong. While observing the movements of the five snowman witches and frowning, she said, "Just now, only three of Overturning Water’s skeletons perished, which indirectly proves that the true culprit’s power far surpasses those decoys. Even though their spells and movements are the same, one can’t fake their strength."

"Eh? Makes sense! Cream Puff, do you mean that as long as we trace the trajectory of the ice arrows, we’d be able to trace it back to the source and find the real villain?"

Gu Yue’s eyes lit up, she said energetically, "As long as we take out this real villain, the Big Smoke Ghost will be able to escape his bind!"

"It’s not as simple as you think, the ice arrows scatter too much in the air, I can’t differentiate them!"

Cream Puff never took her eyes off the snowman witches, "Besides, Overturning Water’s pets can’t keep this up for much longer, this method is simply not viable."

"It’s viable."

Su Ran interrupted Wan’er and spoke, "Your discovery has indeed enlightened me. It’s not hard to start from the output. The ice arrows were too dense just now because the shield-bearing skeletons weren’t spread out. We should have them spaced two to three meters apart, surrounding them in a circle. The four of us will each focus on a snowman witch, and if a single skeleton falls, it would indicate that the true culprit is that one!"

"Aha, when it’s crunch time, we still have to rely on Overturning Water. Full marks for this analysis!"

Youtong clapped her hands in approval, her face flush with excitement, "Overturning Water, quickly get your skeletons over there and root out the true culprit!"

"You’re giving me full marks? Aren’t you afraid that’ll make me arrogant?"

Su Ran summoned ten shield-bearing skeletons anew and, according to the strategy just outlined, dispersed them before slowly advancing towards the snowman witches.

Cream Puff and the others held their breath in tension, keeping a close watch on their respective snowman witches without so much as blinking, fearful of missing this crucial moment.

As expected by Su Ran, this time the five snowman witches didn’t concentrate their fire but each shot an ice arrow at the skeleton opposite them. Familiar composition—each arrow split into five midair and hit their targets dead-on.

"Crash."

The third skeleton collapsed on the spot, while the others weren’t greatly harmed, not even losing half of their health.

"It’s that one!"

Without waiting for Su Ran to prompt her, Cream Puff immediately conjured a blood-red fireball and launched it at the center snowman witch. With a loud bang, the fireball burst upon the witch, releasing a cloud of blood fog.

"Haha, hit it!"

Youtong jumped up excitedly, but before she could continue celebrating, something unexpected happened.

The attacked witch dissolved into a stream of air and vanished, and then blood oozed from the Big Smoke Ghost’s ice sculpture. The blood was drawn out and reformed into another snowball witch, which, like the others, kept dancing around the sculpture.

"Oh no! The strongest might not be the real culprit!"
