CHAPTER 2044: CHAPTER 1658: THE TURN OF THE TIDE (DOUBLE CHAPTER)

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, you bastard!"

Seeing that group of players rushing over, Green Cap realized he had lost the best opportunity. These treasures were so close yet so unreachable, and this feeling was infuriating!

"Brother Green Cap, fate brought us together, so I’ll grant you this fortune. No need to thank me; it’s what you deserve."

Su Ran walked out proactively, riding Wang Cai and quickly heading towards the Platinum treasure chest while using the Flame Meteor skill.

Flame Meteor (Fire-type skill) (Active) LV1

Concentrates fire element to form a giant meteor, attacking ground targets. Skill damage is 90% of the attack limit, attack range 5X5, critical hit +3, stun +2, knockdown +1.

This crowd technique was fire-attribute and didn’t conflict with Netherworld Purple Fire, which was why Su Ran chose this skill.

Green Cap was completely restricted and could only watch with horror as the meteor crashed down on him.

"Boom!!!"

A massive area centered around him suffered damage, and even the ground showed varying degrees of collapse. The fastest players couldn’t escape and were heavily affected, triggering stun attributes, frozen in place. Those with less health were unlucky and got instantly killed, losing a level of experience.

"Oh no, Overturning Water is making a move!"

"Why panic, he hasn’t summoned his pet yet. We still have a chance!"

"If it doesn’t work, let’s take him down first! As long as we get this Platinum treasure chest, it’s worth offending him!"

"Right, this is a rare opportunity. Killing him can get extra bounty rewards. We can’t miss out!"

"We fear not even the big boss, let alone a single player! Brothers, let’s kill him!"

This group of players changed their target and charged at Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, who was riding a dog. Green Cap was initially stunned, then overjoyed, unexpectedly becoming a scapegoat allowing himself to be temporarily safe.

Taking advantage of this, Green Cap struggled to pull out a grey talisman and tore it on the spot. The talisman’s effect manifested, surrounding him with white light, making him appear incredibly holy.

Right after, the Netherworld Purple Fire rapidly melted away like snow under the scorching sun, disappearing into thin air.

"Hahaha, it’s mine; no one can take it away!"

Seizing the opportunity, Green Cap reached into the treasure chest again, thinking he had wasted a precious Platinum treasure chest key; he needed to make a profit!

But what Green Cap didn’t expect was that Su Ran’s attack was just beginning. Time Rewind activated, the meteor reformed, and smashed down again, instantly killing dozens.

It wasn’t over yet; Su Ran unleashed group skills like Tidal Waves, Ice Vortex, and Thousand-Mile Ice Seal, tormenting the players over and over until his magic points almost ran out, then stopped.

This group of players who rushed in suffered misfortune, going through four waves of crowd techniques. Only a few managed to survive. Rough estimates showed nearly a thousand players were taken out in this wave.

Green Cap saw things weren’t looking good and used two Invincible Gold Stones in a row, narrowly avoiding disaster. He didn’t dare hesitate, stuffing treasures into his pack, trying to grab everything in the chest before the next wave of crowd techniques reached.

"Thief, prepare to die by the hands of this king!"

But in that moment of delay, the Skeleton Saint attacked, swinging his large coffin ruler right down. The fierce offensive made Green Cap’s heart chill; if he didn’t dodge, he might lose his life.

"So annoying!"

Green Cap didn’t dare withstand the attack and, in panic, tossed a treasure into his pack without even glancing at it, rolling away, but what he didn’t expect was that Su Ran arrived and used the Heaven-covering Yellow Sand domain skill on him.

Within the domain, Green Cap’s speed halved, and his reaction slowed markedly, which was a disaster for him. The Skeleton Saint’s second attack was impossible to evade, even if he risked his life.

After cursing Su Ran’s ancestors, Green Cap decisively abandoned the Platinum treasure chest, burrowing underground and disappearing.

Having wasted a Platinum key, a special talisman, plus two Invincible Gold Stones, he risked everything to win a single item. Whether he could even break even was uncertain, leaving Green Cap feeling troubled...

"Damn, he still got away!"

Su Ran was a bit annoyed; he had planned to use the domain skill and petrify the fellow but didn’t expect Green Cap to fear death to such an extent. Seeing the situation turning, he immediately escaped underground. Killing him would indeed be difficult!

"Lord Skeleton, you go ahead, I’ll cover!"

Su Ran pointed at the unrelenting players, signaling the Skeleton Saint to clear the area.

"Damned, all damned!"

The Skeleton Saint was extremely furious, leading a group of skeletons to do a brutal suppression, killing anyone encountered, making the scene exceedingly bloody.

Meanwhile, Su Ran casually walked over to the Platinum treasure chest, packed all the treasures in it, and threw them into his bladder. Then, he approached the dark gold chest, rubbed against it, but couldn’t take it. Unwillingly, he glanced at the keyhole, realizing without a dark gold key it was futile, he abandoned the idea, leaving the dark gold chest to the Skeleton Saint.
