Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1656 - 1455: Little Zombie’s Achievement (Two in One)

"Cough, cough... Who would’ve thought this crappy stone could actually melt..."

Banana had never felt so embarrassed in his life. If it weren’t for the fear of suffocating, he would’ve shoved his face right into the stone by now.

"Banana, I feel like you’re just here to cause trouble. Don’t explain—explaining is just covering up your mess."

Su Ran was thoroughly exasperated with Banana. Having Ling Wei around was already tricky enough, and now this guy gets thrown into the mix too. How could this not be considered adding to the chaos?

"How was I supposed to know this stupid stone could keep sealing people? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have humiliated myself for no reason..."

Banana’s frustration was immeasurable. He wanted to slap himself—why did he have to act so cocky for no reason? Now look, he’d even lost his freedom!

"Weren’t things cramped enough already? You had to add yourself to the space too—how annoying!"

Ling Wei was visibly vexed. Having this big guy squeezed into such a confined space—who in their right mind could tolerate that?!

"Stop arguing. What’s done is done; quarreling won’t change anything. The priority now is to figure out how to rescue both of you!"

Xue Wuqing’s headache was palpable. The rock gave her no viable attack point—it didn’t budge even under magical bombardment. Her biggest concern was not knowing how long the sealing power would persist. From the looks of things now, there was no sign of it weakening even a bit. Left with no choice, she placed her hopes in Su Ran, praying he could come up with a solution.

"Overturning Water, based on your expertise, how should we approach this rock?"

"This isn’t just any ordinary stone. You can’t interpret it with common sense."

"No kidding!"

Seeing Su Ran’s calm and detached demeanor—like he couldn’t care less—made Xue Wuqing so furious she wanted to kick him. At a critical moment like this, where was his team spirit? Absolutely infuriating!

"I’ll keep digging away. Who knows, it might work."

Su Ran had already noticed this stone’s peculiar nature: its shell was incredibly hard, impervious to a pickaxe. But as for the interior—well, possibilities opened up. His pickaxe had "immovable" and "indestructible" attributes, enforced by an invincible golden aura from the game system. Even if the pickaxe got swallowed by the rock, there was zero risk! freewebnøvel.coɱ

"You damned skeleton! No way! Even if I die here, I won’t let you swing that pickaxe again!"

The mere thought of Su Ran wielding the pickaxe was enough to drain all color from Ling Wei’s face. She was pale, utterly bloodless. "You’ve already dug twice with no results and nearly scared me to death. If you dare swing that thing one more time, I swear—I’ll fight you to the death!"

"Uh... Big Bro Overturning Water, I’m terrified of pickaxes. Maybe let’s not dig anymore."

Banana’s head was all that was left visible outside the rock, and he was already scared out of his wits. If a few swings from the pickaxe landed near him, he feared not even his soul would remain...

"This is on both of you—don’t blame me for being stuck inside now."

For Su Ran, this was an ideal outcome. Seriously, all the digging and swinging—what a hassle!

"So, what’s the plan? We can’t just leave them here, can we?"

Xue Wuqing wasn’t about to abandon Ling Wei. As long as there was even a sliver of hope, she was determined to see it through. As for Banana... well, if he died, then so be it. It wasn’t a big deal. That’s the beauty of players—they had unlimited lifespans and nowhere near the level of death anxiety NPCs experienced.

Of course, she couldn’t say this out loud to Banana—it’d be a definitive blow to his self-esteem.

Just then, a series of roaring sounds echoed from the base of the mountain, growing louder with each moment. This sent a chill through everyone’s hearts.

"Oh no! The BOSS is coming back!"

Xue Wuqing shouted in alarm, her eyes darting toward Ling Wei trapped inside the rock. Conflicted, she called out anxiously, "Overturning Water, have your pet lure the BOSS away! There’s no way we can let it reach this spot!"

The Thunder Bats’ exceptional performance had left an impression on Xue Wuqing, which was why she suggested this. She was unfamiliar with this curious pet—it was the first time she’d seen Su Ran summon something so unique. Despite its frail appearance, it could withstand the guard’s heavy punches, which was no small feat!

"Got it."

Su Ran nodded and immediately commanded the two Thunder Bats to intercept the BOSS. Given the creature’s limited mobility while climbing, this was the perfect opportunity for a sneak attack—he couldn’t let it slip by!

Even the ten mage-type skeletons were strategically stationed along the rock face. Not stopping there, Su Ran also summoned a small zombie and a Sand Puppet to stand by, ready for the BOSS’s arrival.

Having completed his defensive setup, Su Ran finally shared his vision with his clones. It didn’t take long before he spotted the guardian climbing the cliff.

"What the... You’ve got to be kidding me!"

Su Ran was taken aback. This hulking figure wasn’t clumsily climbing the mountain like he’d imagined, with hands and feet laboriously working together. Instead, it was sprinting full throttle along the cliffside, completely ignoring the incline of the mountain. It seemed even the forces of gravity didn’t exist for it. The higher it climbed, the faster it ran, almost as if it were getting a boost! Absolutely absurd!

"Squeak~ Squeak!"

The two Thunder Bats darted forward, activating their Thunderous Strike abilities simultaneously. Their skeletal frames surged with lightning energy, instantly boosting their overall prowess.

(Thunderous Strike—Lightning Infusion: ultra-speed impact on the target. Speed +5, attack frequency +3, attack +35%, defense -15%, duration: 3 seconds.)

With a sudden spike in speed, the bats tore forward like arrows, targeting the BOSS directly. The added force from their speed made their assault lethal—even the BOSS’s bulky frame reeled as if it had been hit by a mighty hammer, stumbling against the rock face.
