Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1577 - 1409: The Shock from Yin Si

"Phew, finally back!"

In the Trial Space, Su Ran felt as if she was cut off from the world, unable even to send messages. Now, back in her territory, Su Ran felt a thorough relief, like being reborn.

"This Fire God Trial really wasn’t easy!"

Su Ran thought back to the Shadow Heart Demon’s sinister and venomous tactics, and was thankful that she saved the Fire God just in time, minimizing the losses.

"Ding ding, ding ding."

A series of messages from friends came over, interrupting her thoughts.

Without a doubt, these were all the friend messages that had piled up during her mission, exploding all at once at this moment.

Upon opening them, the majority were from Sister Wan’er, Drizzling Rain, Banana, and Big Blood Bull, with Nan Qiang and Bei Diao each sending a message too.

After checking them one by one, most were trivial conversations. Su Ran replied to all, signaling she was still alive.

"Overturning Water, you’ve finally shown up, where have you been all this time, not replying to messages, did you run into some trouble in real life?"

Cream Boy, also known as Sister Wan’er, was the first to reply, "Come to the Imperial City, I have something to give you."

"Don’t overthink it, I was trapped in a special plot space before, couldn’t even send out messages, it was quite stifling. I also have something for you, let’s meet at the warehouse, I’ll come over a bit later."

Su Ran didn’t chat much with Sister Wan’er before closing the friends interface. There was no helping it; she was in a hurry to hand in her task. Just needed to hand over the repair fluid to Uncle Yu, and she could receive the mission reward—Forced Recall!

"Senior, I’m back!"

Humming a little tune, Su Ran walked towards Uncle Yu’s house.

"Eh?"

When she reached her destination, she discovered there wasn’t a soul in sight.

What’s going on?

Just as Su Ran stood there, dumbfounded, a chilling voice came from behind.

"Little skeleton, are you looking for that prisoner from the Celestial Realm?"

"Lord Yin Si, can you appear in front of me next time? If I’m scared to death, it’s all on you!"

Yin Si’s way of showing up was always so unique that Su Ran was used to it, and this was just a habitual retort.

"Stop changing the subject! Little skeleton, how can you be so carefree? Do you even know who that prisoner is?"

Seeing Su Ran’s complete lack of crisis awareness, Yin Si couldn’t help but shake his head, before continuing to question her, "You dare to bring just anyone into your territory, do you think it’s been in existence for too long?"

"Geez, isn’t that a bit too serious?"

Su Ran was skeptical of Yin Si’s words; since the prisoner had already sought refuge with her, why be guarded against him? Wasn’t it utterly unnecessary?

"Heh, it’s far more severe than you think!"

Yin Si sneered, "You don’t even know why he became a prisoner, a person of grave crimes!"

"Even his own kind wants to betray him, yet you think your tiny territory can contain him? Laughable!"

After saying this, Yin Si walked towards the altar with his hands behind his back, "Little skeleton, follow me."

"Lord Yin Si, don’t tell me you’ve already captured him?"

"Me, capture him? Heh, that would dirty my hands! Do you even know what this is?"

Yin Si pointed at the vermilion stone, his expression turning somewhat bizarre.

"How could I not know that this is a Mountain Suppression Stone, and that I personally brought it back? My lord, if you have something to say, just say it. Don’t beat around the bush like someone with constipation, squeezing it out bit by bit, you’re killing me with the anticipation! Just say it straight, I can take it!"

Su Ran wanted to know what had become of Uncle Yu’s fate, and there was still a task to be turned in—was this not deliberately making things difficult for himself?

Even if the task was completed and he was expelled afterward, that would give this brother a bit of peace of mind...

"Little skeleton, you always seem so clever on ordinary days, so why do you get so confused at crucial moments?"

Yin Si’s tone carried a hint of frustration as if to disdain the failure to meet expectations, "This Mountain Suppression Stone is one of the most valuable treasures of the Divine Domain Main City! It would certainly invoke the wrath of the God Race! And you still dare to give refuge to a member of the God Race, aren’t you just asking for trouble?"

"My lord, there’s no need for you to worry about this. I have the Sky-reaching Vine and the Bone Dragon King guarding it. It’s not easy for anyone to steal this Mountain Suppression Stone," Su Ran asserted confidently.

"Foolish!"

Yin Si’s face showed anger, extremely dissatisfied with Su Ran’s explanation, "How can you be so naïve? Haven’t you heard that it’s hard to guard against an inside job? If Uncle Yu came to steal it, would you still count on the Sky-reaching Vine for protection? It seems you’ll only wake up if this stone is actually lost!"

Indeed, as the saying goes, a single word can wake the dreamer. Su Ran suddenly saw the light—yes, Yin Si was right!

Whether it’s the Sky-reaching Vine, the Bone Dragon King, or even the Thunder Grid, all are designed to ward off external enemies. If an insider were to steal, there really would be no way to stop them!

So there was still this kind of BUG to be wary of. Su Ran broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that in the future he would have to consider one’s place of origin and character when recruiting subordinates...

At the very least, he definitely couldn’t take in prisoners from the Celestial Realm!

"Lord Yin Si, thanks to your help, I didn’t lose this treasure. Rest assured, I will pay close attention next time!"

"What do you mean next time? If there really is a next time, I won’t worry about it anymore!"

"My lord, look at what you’re saying, as if I don’t learn from my mistakes. Oh right, where did Uncle Yu go?"

Su Ran hadn’t forgotten about the task, even if it meant falling out with Uncle Yu, it would only happen after the task was completed...

"Who knows? That Uncle Yu kid was lurking around the Mountain Suppression Stone, holding a hoe, he tried to dig several times but couldn’t move the stone an inch. After I caught him, I immediately kicked him off the mountain."

Unable to move it?

Heh, it turns out his mining skills weren’t up to par!

Su Ran subconsciously opened the territory interface, and sure enough, Uncle Yu’s name had disappeared from the territory.

No way around it, the task couldn’t be completed in the short term, what a pity for that superb skill!

"Little skeleton, I really didn’t expect that even the Fire God Trial Space couldn’t confine you; you’ve completed the trial in such a short time, indeed not bad at all!"

Yin Si knew about the Trial Space, and he looked at Su Ran with eager eyes, "What treasures did you gain in the Trial Space? Quickly show me."

"Nothing much, just got two Bloodline Azure Fruits, and a set of formation. My lord, do you know what these azure fruits are used for?"

Since Su Ran needed Yin Si’s help, he couldn’t hide it; the efficacy of the Bloodline Azure Fruits and the key issue with the Darkfire Bead—taking advantage of Yin Si’s good mood now might reduce some of the cost...

"What? Azure Fruits?"

Hearing about these treasures, Yin Si lost his composure for the first time, his eyes bugging out, his mouth opening and closing, not knowing quite what to say.

"My lord, what’s the matter with you? Prostate inflammation?"

Su Ran was very pleased with the merchant Yin Si’s reaction; the more astonished he was, the higher the value of these treasures!

"Oh right, I also obtained a half-finished ancient bead. Do you know how I can make this bead evolve into a finished product?"

The moment the words fell, Yin Si’s jaw dropped.
