Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1313 - 1216: The Reason

"That old guy only gave me a silver treasure chest, damn stingy!"

Wu Liuyi, like someone who had just found his voice, complained endlessly, "Overturning Water bro, I really feel bad about it, making you waste that pile of fish corpses. If I’d known it would be like this, I would’ve just given it one or two fish to mess with it!"

"No need, we found them anyway. When they’re gone, they’re gone. Who knows, maybe the silver content in this treasure chest is high. What if we get some ultra-high-quality equipment? That would cover all our costs."

Su Ran had guessed right, the Great White Shark had indeed tricked him, and in such a miserable way too. This was the disadvantage of not asking for the mission reward in advance, what a pity.

"Overturning Water bro, where are you? Let’s open the treasure chest together!"

"You open it yourself, I’ve got something I can’t get away from. Just tell me what you get."

As Su Ran closed the chat with his friend and looked up, his brain went blank, and he was so scared that he nearly dropped the bone scythe in his hand.

Before him now was an enormous Great White Shark head, mere inches from his face. The terrifying visual shock triggered all of the fear in Su Ran’s heart—if he had still been capable of such feelings, he would have been scared motionless!

"Plop."

Without thinking, Su Ran stepped back several times and, losing his balance, fell onto the ground. Thankfully, the buoyancy of the water in the pool saved him from a worse fate.

"Damn it, senior, can’t you stop popping up out of nowhere, scaring people in the middle of the night?"

Su Ran hastily stood up from the bottom of the pool, steadied the jittering Bone Soul Ghost Fire, and said irritably, "It’s good that I have a strong heart, otherwise, you would have scared me to death!"

"Skeleton Lord, what are you doing sneaking around here? If you’ve got nothing to hide, you’ve got nothing to fear. Scaring me like that, could it be that you’re up to no good?"

The Great White Shark looked down at Su Ran with suspicious eyes, "I’ve sensed you since you entered the Dark Swamp pool, but why would you hide here? Do you have some secrets too great to tell?"

Damn it!

So the old shark was awake all along!

The older, the wiser, as they say!

His presumptuous actions turned into a joke. It was embarrassing to say the least.

"Err, I didn’t want to disturb your sleep, and someone jumped down here, so to avoid suspicion, I had to hide over here."

Su Ran thought for a moment, not quite relieved, and added, "That explanation makes sense, right?"

"True or false, you know best."

The Great White Shark’s expression softened significantly as it lowered its body to meet Su Ran’s gaze, "You heard what that human said just now, didn’t you? What does that last sentence in bird language mean? Seeing that boy’s flustered demeanor, it doesn’t seem like anything nice."

"Uh."

Su Ran was taken aback, then explained seriously, "To translate into layman’s terms, he was wishing you a safe and peaceful life."

"Nonsense!"

The Great White Shark appeared very annoyed, its eye sockets burning fiercely with Soul Fire. The surrounding Swamp Fire Toads and leeches were so frightened that they fled far away, and even Su Ran found it hard to stand the pressure and took a few steps back.

"Great White Shark senior, why are you angry? That wasn’t an insulting remark, right?"

Su Ran was shocked and tried to appear calm as he looked at the enormous creature, wondering if his lie had been exposed.

"Still saying it’s not? The Undead royal family does not make comparisons with the Human Race, isn’t that an insult? How infuriating!"

Hmm?

After hearing the Great White Shark’s words, Su Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief, so that was the reason. What a scare!

As long as it didn’t involve him, it was no big deal, but this old shark was so quick to anger and touchy—it really wasn’t easy to deal with!

"This was also a slip of the tongue by that human. For the Human Race, it’s the most common farewell."

Su Ran inwardly blamed Wu Liuyi. That guy didn’t just leave properly but had to leave a mess behind, which was not cool!

"Eh? Little skeleton, are you close with that human? Why do you keep making excuses for him?"

"Is that so? I’m just speaking based on the facts."

Su Ran kept a straight face and heart steadfast, immediately diverting the topic and counterattacking, "I saw that human gave something to the senior. Are you two perhaps making some kind of deal?"

"How dare you doubt this king? Even if I were to collude, I wouldn’t choose an inferior being from the Human Race!"

The Great White Shark’s voice was filled with disdain; it was clear that it didn’t take that human seriously at all. Then, it made the Spatial Bag appear, floating beside it, "Inside here, there are a large number of tuna carcasses—it’s a task this king entrusted to that human!"

"Senior Great White Shark, may I ask where do you keep your spatial package?"

Su Ran glanced at the shark’s skeletal structure, unable to find anywhere that could possibly hide it, and felt uncomfortable not asking.

"Demonic Soul Space! With your lowly qualifications, you should be unable to open the Demonic Soul."

The Great White Shark sized up Su Ran and said, "Don’t feel bad about it, Undead skeletons are naturally limited by their innate abilities. But you, kid, are an exception; I hope you can become the second Skeleton Saint."

Psh, Demonic Soul Space?

What’s the big deal, I’ve got a bladder!

Back then, I even brought back your huge skeleton using a bladder, who needs a bicycle?

When it comes to storage space, I don’t concede to anyone!

"I am aware and will not compare myself in this regard."

Su Ran didn’t want to continue on the subject, afraid he would burst out laughing, and quickly changed the topic, "Senior, what do you need these dead fish for?"

"Little skeleton, don’t you think the defense of this swamp pond is too weak? Apart from the Swamp Fire Toads and the leeches, there’s no threat at all. Even that human could come and go as he pleases. This is a disgrace to this king!"

The more the Great White Shark spoke, the more furious it became. In the end, its voice boomed like a bell, "On this king’s turf, how dare the riffraff run wild?"

"Senior, are you thinking of..."

Su Ran’s eyes lit up, he’d already gotten a taste of what the Great White Shark was implying, and eagerly asked, "Are you wanting to strengthen the swamp pond’s defense forces?"

"Exactly."

The Great White Shark, rubbing its sharp teeth, laughed loudly, "Unexpectedly, the human’s greed was too great, providing this king with a great surprise. In such a short time, he actually captured so many tunas, good, very good!"

"Senior, how can we transform these dead fish into Undead warriors? This shouldn’t be an easy matter, right?"

Seeing how cooperative the Great White Shark was, Su Ran couldn’t help but feel reassured. It was evident that this Deep Sea Overlord had fully taken the Dark Swamp as its home and was diligently managing its territory. As long as the defensive forces of the Dark Swamp were enhanced, the protection of his own territory would greatly improve!

This was truly wonderful news!

At this moment, Su Ran finally understood—he’d misunderstood Comrade Great White Shark. Dedicated to the revolutionary work and with such high consciousness, this had to be acknowledged with praise!
