Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1687 - 1474: The Birth of an Ultra-Top-Tier Item

"Whizz!"

A purple flame was forcefully thrown out by Su Ran, striking the stone monster at the forefront. The flame exploded, transforming into a surging pillar of fire that trapped the two Bosses within, forcibly halting their offensive.

"None of your business!"

Seeing Su Ran single-handedly holding back the two Bosses, Qing Qi’s resentment dissipated significantly. She felt that her foot wasn’t as painful anymore. That’s the magic of games; as long as it’s not a severe injury, recovery happens quickly. Quickly climbing to her feet, Qing Qi darted aside.

"Oh, look who’s here, Overturning Water! Long time no see, still using such outdated moves. Haven’t you made any progress?"

At some unknown point, the Green Hat Player appeared not far ahead of Su Ran’s right side and spoke mockingly, "You only use these tricks to bully Bosses; what kind of ’World’s Greatest’? Hah, lame!"

"Old or new, as long as they’re effective!"

Su Ran seized the chance to retreat a few steps, creating distance from the Bosses before responding, "To me, you just sound like sour grapes, belittling what you can’t obtain yourself. What’s the point?"

"Tch, you must be blind! I’m a warrior; why would I be jealous of you mages’ moves? Hah, are you trying to show off in front of the beauty? Too bad, I won’t let that happen. Here’s a little spice for you—deal with it!"

Green Hat Player sneered coldly and threw a white sphere into the Netherworld Purple Fire. In an instant, the sphere transformed into a pure white curtain of light, cleansing the purple flames completely and causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

With their freedom regained, the stone monsters could no longer contain their fury. One charged at Su Ran with menacing momentum, while the other condensed dozens of stones and hurled them quickly in Su Ran’s direction. If he got hit, he was sure to be riddled like a sieve.

"Swoosh!"

Su Ran performed the Instant Movement ability, effortlessly dodging the deadly strike and escaping to the distance. "Hey, Green Hat buddy, if you’re capable, pick another spot! This place is too cramped!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Both stone monsters locked their aggression on Su Ran and ignored Qing Qi completely. Turning their bodies, they dashed into the depths of the space, the sound of their footsteps becoming fainter until they disappeared entirely.

"Hahaha, look at that coward running with its tail between its legs!"

Green Hat Player laughed gleefully but then his expression turned cold. He turned to Qing Qi and said, "Woman, I’m not in the mood to kill you. Be smart and get lost quickly!"

"You’re despicable!"

Qing Qi admitted she wasn’t strong enough to take on this guy and the two Bosses combined. She also realized that Overturning Water had led them away, creating an opportunity for her to escape. Thinking of this, she didn’t act rashly, only watching as Green Hat Player burrowed underground and disappeared from her sight.

At that moment, the system notification chimed. Qing Qi froze briefly, then opened the quest panel, discovering that the mission had changed. Gradually, joy sparked in her eyes. Tossing concern for Su Ran aside, she leapt into a stone pit, crawling into a cave, and was engulfed by darkness.

However.

What Qing Qi didn’t anticipate was that shortly after she left, Green Hat Player resurfaced from underground. He looked suspiciously in the direction Qing Qi had left, muttering quietly before abandoning the chase for Su Ran and heading directly toward the cave.

...

Su Ran was rapidly traversing mid-air, keeping the aggression of both Bosses locked on him from afar. He hadn’t spotted Green Hat Player’s figure but didn’t fuss over it. That guy’s movements were as elusive as ever—perhaps sneaking underground like a venomous snake, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

"Trying to pull the old ambush trick again? Then I’ll wait for your grand arrival!"

Su Ran said to himself with a confident grin. He’d already devised a strategy to deal with this guy; the only trouble now was the two stone monsters!

Ah, the treasures he dug up earlier still needed checking!

Before the two Bosses attacked, Su Ran had obtained four treasures, one of which was Soul-Attracting Incense. Getting so many items made the stone tomb’s reputation well-deserved.

Taking advantage of the moment, Su Ran retrieved the Soul-Attracting Incense and used the Detection Technique on it.

[Soul-Attracting Incense](Special)

Grants the ability to control a corpse for three minutes, usable only within Stone Space. Leaving this space will cause the incense to vanish.

"Whoa, now that’s a great item!"

Su Ran was genuinely surprised. Corpses have no tiers, meaning this Soul-Attracting Incense effectively allows him to acquire a Boss pet!

Hah, perfect for messing with Green Hat!

Su Ran was highly satisfied with the incense’s attributes. He glanced at the two Bosses, who were still relentlessly chasing after him, then took out the remaining three items without rushing to act.

What he acquired were two black, heart-shaped stones and a peculiar branch.

"Huh?"

Su Ran curiously looked at the two heart-shaped stones. Upon seeing their attributes, he burst into laughter.

There was no doubt—these were the task items Qing Qi needed: Stone Cores. Initially, he thought he’d have to defeat the two stone monsters to obtain the cores. Unexpectedly, he dug them out of the tomb instead. No wonder the Bosses were relentlessly after him; now the reason was clear.

As for the glossy branch, this was something he unearthed at the last moment. Being the big finale, it shouldn’t be ordinary—possibly the masterpiece of nature, a divine weapon that could transform into the Seven-Colored Whip to dominate any opposition!

Well, boasting would incur taxes, so let’s speak based on attributes...

[Primordial Immortal Branch](Special)

Significantly enhances the toughness and growth of wood-element pets, with a chance to trigger evolution effects.

"Holy crap!"

Su Ran couldn’t contain his excitement and blurted out a curse. As expected, the final treasure didn’t disappoint!

The Primordial Immortal Branch was undoubtedly a god-tier item for altering a pet’s destiny. The entire God-Demon Continent might never see a second one!

The words "significantly increase growth and toughness" nearly melted Su Ran’s heart.

Boosting growth substantially, plus a chance for evolution—who would believe it?

Just this one item alone made the special mission worthwhile!

However...

Here’s the catch.

Su Ran’s pets were all skeleton-based and completely disconnected from wood-element attributes. This meant the Primordial Immortal Branch was useless in his hands. Great, rejoicing for nothing...

Banana’s pet, the Parasitic Tree, was the perfect fit. Still, Su Ran couldn’t bear to give away this heaven-defying branch. He’d have to find an opportunity to catch a pet worthy of its status...

Wait.

A bolt of lightning struck Su Ran’s mind. He froze for a moment, then broke into a gleeful smile.

Who said he didn’t have a wood-element pet? In his territory, there was the Sky-reaching Vine!

"Clang!"

While running mid-air, Su Ran, lost in thought, failed to notice a protruding stone ahead and crashed into it head-on. His Treading on Air Technique immediately failed, and he plummeted to the ground.

Great, talk about joy turning into sorrow...
