Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1566 - 1401 Special Rewards (Two in One) _2

The voice of the Fire God was unique, much like a synthesized system voice, gentle yet magnetic, indiscernible whether male or female, but that’s not the point, no need to dwell on that.

"Senior, my equipment is just a little trinket not fit for the public eye, nothing noteworthy. If I may ask boldly, are you perhaps Lord Fire God?"

Su Ran quickly shifted the conversation to the Fire God, knowing full well how valuable the Illusion Demon black robe was, boasting was definitely out of the question. Just in case the Fire God got greedy and decided to rob and harm him, that would be troublesome.

Keeping a low profile proves to be the best policy indeed.

"Hey, human, your words are quite interesting. You’ve already saved me, yet you do not know who I am."

The Fire God looked at Su Ran amusingly, continuously descending, landed on the ground, and then said, "This city of the Fire God, is my domain, no one in the city can defy my will, so who do you think I am?"

"I have seen Lord Fire God!"

Su Ran spoke with utmost respect, yet internally he was incessantly mocking, having seen people show off but never like this. However, this might work in his favor when it comes to boot-licking!

"Hahaha, good, good!"

Having been sealed for so many millennia, to be treated with such respect by other races upon his return was definitely something to be happy about!

This shows that the Fire God is a straightforward person, easy to handle so long as he isn’t petty. If it were someone like that old crone, Su Ran would really be worried.

"Human, you’ve saved my life, and I should repay you. Unfortunately, all I have left now is this set of equipment, and since you’re not from the God Race, I can’t pass on any skills to you either, what should I do?"

At this moment, the Fire God was troubled, not sure how to repay Su Ran appropriately.

"Lord Fire God, there’s no need to overthink it. I’m here to take the trial, just declare that I’ve completed the trial and grant me the right to leave the Fire God Space, that would suffice."

Su Ran’s request was not high; it was his most urgent need.

"Trial? So you are the chosen one, no wonder you had the ability to release me from my seal. I do have another favor to ask you, and if you can help me with it, then I will consider your trial completed!"

The Fire God pondered for a moment and looked at Su Ran sincerely, "This task isn’t difficult, just help me find two pieces of the God-sealing Lock, and that’s enough."

Damn it!!!

Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s blood pressure skyrocketed instantly, it’s a good thing he didn’t have blood vessels, otherwise, he might really have had a stroke...

Just great, after all the effort, none of the treasures he dug up were left, all handed over.

Just as the old crone said, continuing the Fire God Trial indeed turned out to be a fruitless effort, like drawing water with a sieve.

However, what consoled Su Ran was that the Fire God did not demand the Fire Source Orb from him, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune...

"Lord Fire God, when I was rescuing you, I happened to dig up two pieces of the God-sealing Lock, I’ll give them to you now."

Su Ran did not hide from the Fire God, reached into his pants, and pulled out the two pieces, pity that he hadn’t had the time to even check the properties of these pieces before having to hand them back over, what kind of deal is this!

"Human, you are incredibly lucky! These pieces are extremely rare treasures, I’m surprised that you managed to get them, truly astonishing!"

When the Fire God saw these two pieces, he showed a shocked expression, it seemed that he too hadn’t expected that the task items had already been collected.

Surprised my ass!

They were just buried in this grave anyway, what’s so rare about that?

Hypocrite!

"Lord Fire God, I have completed the task, should the trial end now?"

Even after handing over the God-sealing Lock pieces, if this Fire God Trial isn’t concluded, then it’s really time to have a serious talk with this Fire God. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Sure."

The Fire God accepted the two fragments, nodded with satisfaction, waved his large hand, and a fiery red light enveloped Su Ran. The system notification sound rang out instantly.

"Ding! Congratulations, player ’Skeleton’ has completed the Fire God Trial quest, rewards include: Level +1, Gold +1000, Fire God Favorability +1000, special reward: Heart of Fire Advancement Scroll!"

Holy moly, an Advancement Scroll!

Seeing this, Su Ran immediately got excited. After all his efforts, the time had finally come!

HAHAHA, the Heart of Fire was already twisted enough, and now it could advance another level. Who knows what treasure it will evolve into—could it be one of the ancient top ten orbs?

At this thought, Su Ran’s heart nearly melted...

He didn’t expect the rewards from a legendary quest to be this good, directly advancing a level. From this moment, Su Ran finally stepped into the level 40 threshold, no longer half a step shorter in level than others—of course, he was nowhere near the Hangover Elder, not even close enough to consider comparing.

"Human warrior, I have another favor to ask, and I don’t know if you can help me with it."

The Fire God showed a troubled expression, giving an air of hesitation. This took Su Ran by surprise. Given the Fire God’s personality, having such an expression suggested the upcoming task wouldn’t be simple.

"Lord Fire God, does this task come with a reward?"

No wonder Su Ran was so pragmatic. When he heard the term ’disgruntled request,’ he sensed there might be an issue and asked upfront to avoid awkwardness later.

"I can’t even repay you for saving my life, how could this small favor have a reward?"

The Fire God gave a bitter smile and shook his head, sighing, "Human warrior, this is just a small effort for you, talking about rewards hurts the sentiment."

"My lord, this is my labor earned, there’s nothing inappropriate about wanting a reward, right? I think that coffin there looks fine; you can give it to me as a reward."

Su Ran had a bad feeling, sensing that the Fire God might be scheming something. What does he mean by it being a small effort for him? Did he discover something?

Knowing that the coffin could seal the Fire God Heart, it was definitely no ordinary item. He had set his sights on it early; if not for the Fire God awakening too quickly, the coffin would have been in his possession long ago—there wouldn’t have been any need to wait until now!

"The coffin? Just wait and see."

The Fire God placed one hand over the coffin without saying much, uttered a low shout, and fiery flames surged from his hand, covering the surface of the coffin. The flames blazed intensely, emitting scorching heat causing even Su Ran to retreat repeatedly—it only then became tolerable.

Under the continuous burning of the flames, the coffin melted like ice, forming a pool of fiery red liquid. As the temperature gradually receded, the liquid autonomously transformed into an ancient shield held in the Fire God’s hand.

"Human, this is my exclusive shield, I can’t possibly give it to you."

The Fire God shook the shield in his hand and explained, "In the past, to protect the Heart and Soul from extinction, I had to pin my hopes on this shield, and indeed, it did not disappoint me!"

"I see. Lord Fire God, if it’s really not possible, you can reward me with experience, I’m not asking for much."

"Experience, huh? That works. I’ll satisfy you with that—if you help me complete this task, you will be rewarded with 20,000 experience points, how about that?"

"Deal."

Su Ran immediately agreed. A mosquito might be small, but it’s still meat. If he became greedy, he might lose out on even those 20,000 experience points—regret would only come too late!

"Before that, if I may ask, the orb you hold, is it the rumored Heavenly Thunder Pearl?"

The Fire God had long noticed the mystery of the orb in Su Ran’s hand, he just hadn’t had the opportunity to ask until after the trial ended, thus he eagerly inquired now.

"You are mistaken, it’s just a glass marble."

Su Ran wanted to hide the Heavenly Thunder Bead, but feared the chain might continue causing trouble. He could only firmly grasp the bead, preventing the Fire God from discerning its authenticity.

"HAHAHA, human, look how careful you are. Such treasures find their destined owners, not to be forcibly sought. Since it recognizes you as its master, it signifies a destined connection between you."

Seeing Su Ran’s guarded stance, the Fire God didn’t take it personally. After all, it was human nature—who wouldn’t want to keep their treasures hidden? He then smiled and said, "Warrior, I need you to embed these two fragments of the God-sealing Lock into that chain and then hand the chain over to me. It’s as simple as that."

"The chain? God-sealing Lock?"
