Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1606 - 1426 Special Task (Two-in-One)

"Here, the rope. I prepared it especially for this quest, and you get to use it."

Youtong tossed a bundle of rope to Su Ran, instructing, "Just tie it haphazardly, as long as it makes these Mudmen recognize you as a hostage, that’s enough."

"What kind of sloppy setting is this? Is it really okay to be this negligent?"

Su Ran, somewhat unsure, haphazardly wrapped the rope around himself and approached the Mudmen.

Sure enough, as he got closer to the Mudmen, he could feel their hostility fading. Even their mud guns were withdrawn, and they used mud to create a solitary cage, waiting for Su Ran to enter.

"Well, this treatment is really something."

Su Ran chuckled at himself and conscientiously crawled into the cage, allowing the Mudmen to push it into a tunnel.

He didn’t know how long he was falling, but Su Ran eventually saw some light below. However, before he could get a clear view of what was down there, he crashed heavily into the mud. Luckily, the cage had decent shock absorption, so he wasn’t injured while inside.

Soon after, two Mudmen emerged from the mud where the cage had sunk, easily pulling out the cage and pushing it forward.

"This is ..."

Su Ran’s vision wasn’t blocked. Looking through the gaps of the cage, he got a clearer view of the surroundings. Everything around him was made of mud, whether it was a tree or a stone stool, all molded from mud. Even the NPCs and their diverse, distinct clothing styles, including ancient garments—everything was sculpted from colored mud. If they wanted new clothes, they only needed to erase and remake them.

Saving effort and straightforward, what a deal.

However...

The question arose again. How do these Mudmen reproduce?

Glancing at the children running around, Su Ran had a weird expression. After closely examining the Mudmen’s genders and appearances, he realized he had been overthinking. Their appearances were all cut from the same mold, indistinguishable as male or female. Human reproductive methods wouldn’t work in the world of Mudmen...

"Hey."

Su Ran shook his head and smiled. He was really being a bit paranoid, worrying about such things for them, truly making a mountain out of a molehill.

As the visuals shifted, he was brought into the so-called Mud Castle. Contrary to Su Ran’s expectations, the castle wasn’t as shabby as he imagined. It wasn’t grand, but at least it resembled a three-story Western-style building, which was quite unbelievable.

It must be said, this is probably the ultimate level of playing with mud...

Upon entering the castle, Su Ran immediately noticed the lump of golden mud on the throne.

Wow, gold really has a noble allure. Even when mud is tinged with this color, it instantly looks high-end and classy. The ordinary mud can’t compare at all—what a difference!

Su Ran even felt an urge to take it in his hand and roughly knead it, but unfortunately, this was someone else’s territory. With his little power, better not.

"Human, do you know where this is?"

The voice undoubtedly came from the golden mud on the throne as it began to transform.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the golden mud changed, it couldn’t take on a human form. Eventually, as if it ran out of energy, it returned to its original shape.

However, the fact it could speak human language surprised Su Ran somewhat. This noble breed of mud was indeed different, with linguistic abilities far surpassing that of ordinary mud.

"Sir, I’m really not sure where this is. I was confusedly detained here, and if I’ve offended, I hope for your understanding."

Su Ran internally grumbled, Youtong didn’t tell him about this part of the act. With no experience, what if he said the wrong thing and implicated the whole team? If they failed the quest, wouldn’t the matter with the epic rare pet be ruined?

"Don’t call me sir, I wouldn’t like to be one of you humans! Just call me Big Mud, got it?"

The seriousness in the voice of the golden mud was undeniable, and from its words, it was clear that calling it ’sir’ was an insult, as it detested any connection with humans.

Big Mud?

Uh, nice name.

Thus, another question. If you meet mud, you call it Big Mud, but what if you meet a chicken? freewёbnoνel.com

Kung Pao Chicken?

"By the way, about the title, doesn’t it seem a bit disrespectful? I don’t know the rules of your world. Let’s clarify things first to avoid any awkwardness later."

Su Ran genuinely didn’t want to use that title; it was too distracting...

"Disrespectful? Haha, ignorant humans, you truly don’t understand the rules of our underworld. Only I, the heap, deserve ’Big’! It’s the highest honor, what disrespect?"

Big Mud laughed heartily, so vigorously that its sticky body trembled.

"Well then... Hello Big Mud."

A heap? Su Ran almost burst out laughing, holding it in while seriously continuing the conversation.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Just then, nearly a hundred Mudmen converged from all directions. Their expressions were stern, their long spears all pointed at Su Ran, the situation taking a drastic turn.

Su Ran nearly wet himself.

In such a scenario, he couldn’t even flee, and facing so many opponents, there was no chance of victory. Even with invincibility skills, it would only delay a few seconds; a confrontation would certainly be fatal!
