Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1560 - 1397: Never Compromise (Two in One) _2

The elderly woman, endowed with the Fire God Token and silver-gold armor, was quite terrifying when she exerted her influence. Without using a move or a technique, she scared the Fire Rat Wolves with just four words, causing them to disregard the Shadow Heart Demon’s manipulation and scream as they fled the area. Unfortunately, they were blocked by the Fire God Space’s sealing and could only run amok within Fire God City, turning the whole scene into chaotic disarray.

The residents, shocked by the sudden rampage of the Fire Rat Wolf pack, turned pale and quickly took refuge in the nearest houses, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"Black Tigers of Extinction, now you ought to understand that the one who caused your misfortune was this Shadow Heart Demon, and it has nothing to do with Fire God City,"

the elderly woman said softly, her gaze fixed on the Tiger King within the pack of black tigers, "Take out these Fire Rat Wolves, and I’ll let you leave!"

To Su Ran’s surprise, the Black Tiger of Extinction King actually understood her. As soon as the elderly woman finished speaking, it led a group of black tigers to attack the scrambling Fire Rat Wolves; within less than a minute, more than a dozen corpses of Fire Rat Wolves littered the ground.

This deeply affected Su Ran, wondering why the Black Tiger of Extinction King couldn’t understand him, but could understand the elderly woman.

Is the difference between their Mandarin so great?

Pah, this Tiger King is definitely picking its battles, looking seemingly honest, but actually sly as can be!

Watching the elderly woman’s series of actions, Su Ran knew that this woman was indirectly warning him that going against her would lead to no good end!

"Despicable!"

The Shadow Heart Demon’s voice erupted from all around, angrily retorting, "Don’t pin all the blame on me; you were the one who gave me this Six Harmonies Magnetic Heart Formation! Trying to clear your name now? Wishful thinking! I dare you to swear an oath to the supreme rules, I bet you wouldn’t dare!"

"Haha, say whatever you want. Without using the tigers’ language, the Black Tigers of Extinction won’t understand you. Even if you argue till you’re blue in the face, these dumb tigers won’t believe you!"

The elderly woman showed a hint of a mocking smile, "No matter what you say, you’re the one who sealed them personally. The Black Tigers of Extinction hating you is not a misdirection of their hatred." freewёbnoνel.com

"Damn it, I will take your life eventually! I swear!"

Only then did the Shadow Heart Demon realize that he had been used by this woman long ago. The hatred in his heart surged like a tide, and if possible, he wished he could just slaughter this woman on the spot, to quell the hatred in his heart!

"Anytime!"

The elderly woman didn’t take the Shadow Heart Demon’s threats seriously and turned to look at Su Ran with a deep tone, "Human warrior, you have seen it yourself. Fire God City has reached a critical juncture. This Shadow Heart Demon must be killed, or there will be endless trouble in the future!"

"Senior, go for it!"

Su Ran raised his fist and stretched it, "I support you in spirit. You know, I have something else to take care of, I’ll take off first, and when I have money, I’ll come back for your fortune-telling!"

"..."

Seeing Su Ran’s complete lack of cooperation, the elderly woman’s face suddenly darkened, "As someone who has earned the qualification for the trial, you’re this irresponsible? You have disappointed me greatly!"

"Can the trial be canceled? I’m just a small fry and not up for this Fire God Trial. This is not a place I should be in. Senior, we know each other so well, just cancel the trial for me, the sooner I can go home."

Su Ran took the opportunity to voice his true thoughts, not caring for a trial task that required the Sphere of Fire Source as payment!

"Ridiculous! Just cancel because you want to? What do you think the will of the Fire God is? Child’s play?!"

The elderly woman was so riled up by Su Ran that she was close to having a stroke, having seen mischievous people before but never one quite like Su Ran!

Fire God?

Upon hearing this term, Su Ran felt surprised, knowing that he could not possibly refer to himself as "senior"; so could it be that the elderly woman was not the Fire God?

But that’s not right. This woman just said that the Fire God Token was hers, so why would she say such things?

Very strange!

Wait a second.

The Shadow Heart Demon had mentioned before that the Fire God Token represented the Fire God’s legacy; which means that the elderly woman is definitely not in the position of the Fire God. But the task description was clear, telling him to hand the Sphere of Fire Source over to the Fire God, not to this elderly woman!

"Give me the Fire Source Orb; it is your undeniable responsibility!"

A mysterious gleam flashed through the old crone’s eyes, interrupting Su Ran’s chain of thoughts.

"The Fire Source Orb? What kind of treasure is that?"

When it came to playing dumb, Su Ran had quite some experience, "Senior, you can’t just falsely accuse people like that."

"Human warrior, are you sure you want to defy the will of the Fire God? If you choose this path, there will be no place for you in the Fire God Space!"

"Oh crap, is it that serious?"

Only then did Su Ran realize that he could not escape this trial mission; he had no choice but to face it head-on. "Senior, it’s true that I have the qualification for the Fire God Trial, but my task is to find the Fire God to report, not you. You should differentiate the primary from the secondary, otherwise, you might bring trouble upon yourself."

"The Fire God?"

The old crone muttered under her breath, squinting her eyes with a flash of dangerous light, "Human warrior, I possess the Fire God Token, and as its holder, I can represent the Fire God. Hand over the Fire Source Orb to me, and you will have completed your mission just the same!"

"Sorry, but I’m a stubborn person. If I don’t see the Fire God, I won’t feel at ease with anyone."

"You were just saying we were acquaintances. What’s there to worry about in giving it to me!"

"Are we that familiar? Don’t climb up the kinship ladder; I can’t possibly match up to a high-level expert like you!"

Su Ran instantly dismissed what he had said earlier. Arguing with NPCs, he didn’t buy this woman’s story at all!

"You!"

The old crone took a step toward Su Ran’s direction, as her aura of intimidation started to surface, suggesting that she planned to use the same methods she used on the Fire Rat Wolf on Su Ran, to teach this young man that not everyone is to be trifled with!

"Hahahaha, you fortune-teller, you’ve finally met your match today!"

The Shadow Heart Demon, as if witnessing a great drama, laughed loudly, with the laughter echoing throughout the Fire God City, "There are not many who can make you eat humble pie; this human is interesting!"

"Human, since you find this woman disagreeable, why not join my ranks? I guarantee your safety! Just hand over the Fire Source Orb to me, and I’ll even throw in the entire Fire God City!"

"Shadow Heart Demon, stop spreading your bewitching lies!"

The old crone saw the tide turning unfavorably and quickly intervened to stop Su Ran from making unwise decisions. This was not something she wanted to witness. Seeing that Su Ran responded to kindness rather than force, she immediately changed tactics, speaking in a gentler tone, "Human warrior, this is related to the fate of the Fire God City and your trial mission. Don’t let the heart demon bewitch you. If you anger the Fire God, there will be dire consequences!"

"I want to meet the Fire God."

At this moment, Su Ran didn’t want to listen to anyone. Without seeing the key mission NPC, any information could be false and untrustworthy. He only had the Fire Source Orb, a bargaining chip he must keep in his hands!

"The Fire God has myriad affairs to deal with daily. How could he have time for such trivial matters? Human warrior, your concerns are unnecessary. This Fire God Token is the best proof!"

The old crone was getting impatient, even speeding up her speech.

"Senior, when you predicted my fortune, you warned me that continuing the Fire God Trial would lead to naught but failure. I’ve kept that in mind; I must find the Fire God and clarify. That’s right, isn’t it?"

Unmoved, Su Ran felt this old crone seemed like a different person after acquiring the Fire God Token, giving him a dangerous illusion. However, since the system had provided a hint, he would follow it to the letter. He wouldn’t give up until he saw the Fire God!

Just as the stalemate continued, Old Man Fan, who sold cockerel eggs, stepped forward alone. He glanced at the imposing old crone before coming up to Su Ran’s side and said with a serious face, "Young man, I know where the Fire God is."

What?

As the saying goes, a single stone can stir up a thousand ripples, and what Old Man Fan had just said truly astonished Su Ran.

"Old Man Fan, are you planning to go against me?"

Hearing the implication in Old Man Fan’s words, the old crone’s face darkened once more, "Let me remind you, be careful what you say, lest you bring disaster upon yourself with your words!"
