Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 92: Treasures

Admiringly, he watched the player Jiu Kong from the Earthly List, a determined character who was climbing up with bare hands. Posturing like a monkey and stepping upward, he looked a bit ridiculous.

Why didn’t he let his pet, the Wave Chasing Eagle, carry him to the summit?

Then again, considering the insane difficulty here, that little Wave Chasing Eagle probably wouldn’t manage to lift off. What use was it?

Su Ran summoned his clone, the Skeleton Worm, at the drop of a hat. He was simultaneously replenishing his magic power and directing the Skeleton Worm to climb the volcano.

Jiu Kong had resolved to climb the volcano because of a quest. To obtain treasure at the summit required immense willpower! Despite the sweltering heat waves, Jiu Kong gritted his teeth. Clenching his fists, he climbed step by step. The heat waves kept hitting him, but the Ice Fan he had gave him a lot of relief. It was like an unmeltable chunk of ice, making him feel a lot better.

The sensation was akin to having a popsicle on a hot summer day!

The higher he climbed, the greater the resistance Jiu Kong endured. His hands and legs were trembling uncontrollably. He planned to summit the mountain in one go, despite the pressure!

But at that moment, a Skeleton Worm was skulking its way up the mountain, and it actually passed Jiu Kong...

Jiu Kong’s eyes bulged out, and his face contorted into an unnatural color. Didn’t he kill that Skeleton Worm already? Why had another one emerged? Jiu Kong didn’t have a spare moment, climbing was difficult enough, let alone attacking. He gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, and climbed hard despite the insane resistance.

The Skeleton Worm languidly oozed beside Jiu Kong and unceremoniously swished its tail over!

"Bang!"

Under the terrifying resistance, the Skeleton Worm’s swish knocked Jiu Kong off balance! Jiu Kong glared at the Skeleton Worm resentfully as he tumbled down to the bottom of the mountain.

Seeing Jiu Kong’s distortion of anger, Su Ran felt a bit guilty, did he go too far? However, Su Ran thought to himself, the next time he fights him, he’ll go easier on him...

Ice Mage Jiu Kong was furious. Magic essence gathered instantly, and an ice arrow was shot towards the wretched Skeleton Worm halfway up the hill. Su Ran felt a moment of panic, but soon, the little skeleton almost burst out laughing.

The ice arrow hadn’t traveled far before it melted...

The effects of the map were too powerful...

Jiu Kong coughed, masking his embarrassment. Helpless, for that ultimate treasure, Jiu Kong had to start climbing again.

Even though Su Ran controlled the Skeleton Worm and technically didn’t feel the resistance, it physically existed. The Skeleton Worm had the advantage of being small and thin, and thus, faced a smaller area of resistance, making it easier than Jiu Kong. However, as they got higher, the resistance from the heat waves got larger, making it hard for the Skeleton Worm, too.

Benefitting from its inherent advantage, after several twists and turns, the Skeleton Worm finally reached the summit.

At the top was a pool of boiling magma, emitting thick smoke continuously. An ancient stone tablet was floating above the lava pool. The sweltering heat seemed to radiate from the stone tablet, gushing in all directions. The humble yet majestic stone tablet was sometimes bright, sometimes dim, giving off a mysterious and unpredictable vibe.

A valuable treasure!

Su Ran took a heavy breath. No wonder Jiu Kong risks his life to climb this extremely dangerous volcano. So that’s why! So that’s why!

However, considering the danger here, how could he safely pick it from above without falling into the volcano’s magma pool?

Su Ran thought about this from all angles but couldn’t find a good solution. There was nothing for it, he had to wait patiently for Jiu Kong to reach the summit of this perilous peak!

After a long while,

Jiu Kong, wreathed in Ice Shield, arrived at the summit looking thoroughly haggard. He straightened his back, looked around, and saw no trace of that annoying Skeleton Worm.

Jiu Kong observed the intimidating lava pool carefully, seemingly looking for something.

Out of nowhere,

The suspended stone tablet glowed brilliantly, resembling a fiery sun, scorching everything around it. Waves of heat billowed out, dispersing in all directions. Thick smoke curled up and swirled around the ancient tablet, refusing to dissipate.

Jiu Kong’s pupils contracted involuntarily, a moment of exhilaration following. Just as he thought, an extraordinary phenomenon signifying the emergence of a treasured item!

Facing the heavy pressure, Jiu Kong made a gesture with one hand, and a golden eagle appeared out of thin air. It screeched as it steadied itself, its pair of wings trembling quickly against the relentless invasion of the heat wave, as if ready to soar into the sky!

"Squawk!"

The heat wave swelled, and the majestic pressure caused the Wave Chasing Eagle to retreat. The golden eagle’s wildness was aroused; it screeched repeatedly and launched its "Wave Chasing" move!

"Whoosh" "Whoosh"

Just then, air currents surged like colossal waves, howling as they collided with the oncoming heat wave.

"Boom!"

The ancient tablet trembled, and its halo flickered and vanished. The heat wave churned even more violently, and the pressure soared!

The Wave Chasing Eagle, a golden pet, was blown away by the turbulent tide despite its icon move, tumbling towards the foot of the mountain.

Seeing his pet defeated, Jiu Kong, struggling against the immense pressure, fumbled around his bag for an item, his face showing signs of regret.

"Immortal Binding Rope" (Replica) (Dark Gold)

After use, it binds the target, blocking all its abilities for 30 seconds.

Note: One-time use, ineffective against BOSS.

Su Ran was speechless. Earthly List players were indeed superior, having numerous treasures, even reaching for a dark gold disposable item...

Jiu Kong, the ice magician, made up his mind and threw out the rope wafting off a dark gold aura!

The Immortal Binding Rope dangled in the air, its light shining bright. Like a dragon ascending to heaven, it disregarded the heat wave and aimed straight for the ancient and mysterious stone tablet!

The Immortal Binding Rope, validated its dark gold tool title by tying up that stone tablet in an instant. In a flash, the heat wave disappeared without a trace, and the supreme pressure vanished.

Suddenly.

The volcano started to tremble violently, with lava spilling everywhere, as if on the verge of eruption!

"Rumble" "Rumble"

The lava pool began to boil, like boiling hot water, with steam surging towards the sky.

Witnessing this abnormal event, Jiu Kong rapidly retreated, his face grim as he yelled, letting his eagle soar high into the clouds. The Wave Chasing Eagle, undeterred by the volcanic tremors, aimed its sharp talons towards this mysteriously ancient stone tablet.

"Whoosh!"

At that fleeting moment, the boiling lava parted, and an enormous Lava Monster sprung out. The monster moved as swift as lightning, grasped the airborne Wave Chasing Eagle’s head, growled menacingly, and smashed the bird into the lava pool below!

"Boom!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The Wave Chasing Eagle was ruthlessly beaten into the lava pool by the Lava Monster. The scalding liquid instantly corroded the golden eagle, and it called out pitifully, its cries growing fainter until it finally disappeared. Its flesh melted away, leaving only a skeletal what submerged into the lava pool.

What a fearsome Lava Monster that was, a creature sealed by the stone tablet for many years, was now finally free once more!
