Skull Kingdom
Before the other players gave up, the Skeleton Elder gave up first.
It walked back to the tree where it had just been lying and said in a voice that sounded a little older: "You guys go back first, let me think about it. If I can remember it before it turns to desert, I'll tell you."
"If I can't get there in time, I'll ask the skull on the skull mound to tell you."
The players also sighed. This was the only way to go for now.
Gu Lin squatted down, grabbed a few handfuls of fallen leaves with his little hands, and piled them on the Skeleton Elder. His hands were small, so he only grabbed one or two leaves at a time.
Gu Lin said tenderly: "Grandpa Elder, cover yourself with the quilt."
Skeleton Elder: "..."
Player: "..."
What a sweet and thoughtful child.
When he came, Gu Lin saw the Skeleton Elder lying under the fallen leaves and sleeping, and he thought it was using the fallen leaves as a blanket.
[Wow, what a warm-hearted little baby! He even knows to cover the elder grandfather with a blanket!]
[Good boy, give auntie a kiss [reward points x100]]
[So cute, so cute, Hakimi Hakimi [Reward points x100]]
The Skeleton Elder smiled at the little kid, and with a "click", he broke a piece of his finger bone.
Players: ""
The Skeleton Elder handed the finger bone to Gu Lin: "Little kid, this is for you. Take this finger bone to find an old friend of mine. Maybe it can still remember something."
Gu Lin took it, held it in his little hand, and looked at it left and right.
The Skeleton Elder asked a skull to lead a few people to find their old friend.
After saying goodbye to the Skeleton Elder, the few people followed the Skull Head and left the Skeleton Forest.
The skull had only a bald head, which rolled on the ground, rolling to the front to lead the way, rolling very fast.
Everyone looked at the skull in amazement. It looked like it was about to burst into flames. Wouldn't it make you dizzy?
But just as they were thinking this, the skull rolling in front of them dove headfirst into the grass pile on the side of the road, with sparks flashing from its eyes: "Oh, my head is so dizzy!"
Players: “…”
I go, this is too unreliable!
Gu Lin looked at the skull with its eyes rolling around, holding his head with his hands, and said in a baby voice: "Ahhh"
Everyone: “…………”
Damn, each one is more outrageous than the last!
9527 and the aunt in the live broadcast room laughed to death, kid, I asked you to imitate, not to surpass.
Finally, the few of them found a branch, hung the skull on it, and asked Gu Lin to hold it as a lantern, and stopped it from rolling on the ground.

Led by the skull, the group soon came to a skeleton house built on a tree.
In front of the Skeleton House, a lame old skeleton with only one leg was sitting and taking a nap.
It was holding a crutch in its arms, which was made of human leg bones.
When the old skeleton was seen, the skull head shouted: "Old cripple, old cripple, the elder skeleton sent someone to look for you!"
The old skeleton heard the sound, woke up slowly, and looked at the five people and the baby with his dim eyes.
Seeing the human cub, the old skeleton was startled and completely awakened, his eyes widened: "Hmm, is this a child?"
Several people have seen the surprise of the dungeon NPCs towards the little cub, so they are no longer surprised by it.
When the old skeleton saw the little flower on Gu Lin’s head, he said: “Did the skeleton mother give you this little flower?”
Gu Lin touched Xiao Huahua and said, "Aunt Skeleton gave Xiao Huahua to me."
The old skeleton was stunned: ""
Aunt Skeleton
Could it be that...
For so many years, it actually misunderstood the gender of the skeleton girl.
Old Skeleton: "So Skeleton Lady is my aunt. Luckily you told me, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark and thought it was a man."
Everyone:!
Live broadcast room:
Don't be ridiculous.
Gu Lin's attention had been attracted to the skeleton house on the tree.
He got down from Song Ran's arms, stood under the skeleton house, tilted his little neck, and looked at the skeleton house on the tree with bright eyes.
The Skeleton House also has stairs, which are also built with the arms and legs of skeletons.
The little cub obviously wanted to climb up to the skeleton house on the tree to play, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly. He just stared at it, glancing at the skeleton house and then at the old skeleton, his little face looking so cute.
The old skeleton's eyes lit up: "Little kid, do you want to play in the tree? Come on, grandpa will carry you up."
As he said this, he stood up with the help of a crutch. He stood up too fast and almost fell down. Fortunately, Wu Jin, who was beside him, helped him up and he did not fall down.
The old skeleton smiled at Wu Jin: "Good boy."
Wu Jin: “…”
Others: “…”
Seeing its arms and legs so unsteady, everyone gasped.
Song Ran didn't dare let it hold Gu Lin, for fear that it would drop the baby, so he held Gu Lin and sent him to the Skeleton House.
The Skeleton House is one meter above the ground, not very high.
After Gu Lin went up, he climbed up and down by himself and had a lot of fun.
While watching the cubs playing, several people asked the old skeleton for information.
After hearing the purpose of the group's visit, the old skeleton put his hands on his cane, nodded and said, "Elder Skeleton told me about the source of the curse."
When several people heard this, hope ignited.
Su Qiao: "What is the source of the curse?"
The old skeleton looked up at the sky and thought seriously. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I don't know."
Everyone: “…”
He is worthy of being the Skeleton Elder’s friend.
Old Skeleton: "The Skeleton Elder just said that the source of the curse is the Skeleton Kingdom's biggest secret and must not be told to anyone."
Everyone: ...breathing oxygen. jpg
Seeing the disappointed look on everyone's faces, the old skeleton patted his thigh bone and said: "Do you know how I lost my leg?"
Everyone was stunned. They didn't know why the old skeleton suddenly mentioned a topic that was completely unrelated to the topic. Could it be some key clue?
The old skeleton sighed and said, "The leg I have left now belongs to my beloved who turned into a desert. I missed him so much that I used one of his legs as my own and the other as a walking stick."
Everyone: “…”
What's the point of saying all this? Did we come here just to listen to your reminiscences?
Gu Lin poked his head out of the skeleton house, frowned, and asked in confusion: "Grandpa Skeleton, why don't you use them all to make legs? Then you will have two legs."
This kid was playing while listening to them talking.
Old Skeleton: “…”
Good question.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Yes, that's why you don't get two legs at once.
The old skeleton was speechless when asked. It was very old and couldn't remember many things clearly. When it heard Gu Lin's question, it looked up at the sky and thought deeply.
After several people left with the baby in their arms, they walked a long way and looked back, and saw the old skeleton was still leaning on a cane, gazing at the sky in deep thought, like an old monk in meditation.
Players: “…”
This old skeleton will probably spend the rest of his life thinking about this question.
*
After finding no useful clues, the five people and the child returned to the Skeleton House.
In front of the Skeleton House, players led by Lu Quanming were experimenting with the newborn skeleton with the green grassland on its head, trying to figure out how to kill it.
Lu Quanming didn't know what props he was using, but he was burning the player who had turned into a skeleton with fire.
After being burned to ashes, the skeleton player reassembles and regenerates in the blink of an eye, restoring its complete skeleton body, and then being burned to ashes again, and the cycle repeats itself.
Skeleton players cannot feel pain, but having just transformed from humans into skeletons, the illusion of pain still remains in their subconscious.
Gu Lin's eyes were blurred again, but he could hear screams coming from behind the mosaics, with his little hand pointing: "What are they doing?"
Seeing the scene before them, the faces of several adults looked unhappy.
Hearing this baby voice, the other players immediately turned their heads to look over.
Wu Jin said in a deep voice: "Your Deep Sea Society uses such despicable means to deal with players."
Lu Quanming sneered and said unconcernedly: "Player, do you think he is still a player?"
[It must be said that the Deep Sea Society is ruthless and they are not afraid of scaring the baby. They still want to snatch the baby.]
[They are dreaming. The kid won’t go with them.] 】
[The cub is a kind little cub who will cover the skeleton with a blanket, and will just kick the bad guys away. Refer to the scarred man who was kicked away before.]
The Deep Sea Society was still thinking about snatching the baby, and seemed to have finally realized that it was not good to kill players in front of the little kid, so they took the props back and let the skeleton player go.
The skeleton player hugged the green grassland above his head and ran away crying.
Zhou Lu saw Gu Lin and realized that he didn't call Passerby A brother this time. He lowered his head with a slightly gloomy expression.
At this moment, Ling Xing flashed a strange smile on her face. Her colorful twin ponytails made her skin look white. She moved her finger bones and made a crackling sound, saying, "Oh, I'm also starting to turn into a skeleton."
Hearing this, everyone else froze.
Everyone began to check their bodies and were horrified to find that they all had some part that had become skeletons to a greater or lesser extent.
But their skeletonization was different from that of the potted skeleton. They did not completely turn into skeletons in an instant. Only one hand was skeletonized, while the rest of the body remained intact.
Seeing that everyone else was checking their hands, Gu Lin followed suit and spread out his own white and tender little hands.
His little hands were still fleshy and had not turned into bones.
Gu Lin said: "Why haven't your hands changed?"
The double hat guy said: "Mine hasn't changed either."
Except for the boss in the double-layer hat and Gu Lin, the other members of the baby-sitting team all had several fingers transformed into skeletons.
Song Ran's skeletonization was the most serious, with his entire hand turning into white bones.
He looked at the little boy in his arms and teased him deliberately: "Little boy, do you like Brother Xingchi or Sister Qiaoqiao?"
Su Qiao and the double-hatted boss also quietly turned their gazes over.
It’s actually quite childish to compete for favor in front of children, but adults just buy into it.
Gu Lin tilted his head: "Why isn't Brother Mao Mao here?"
Song Ran: “…”
No, this kid doesn't play by the rules.
Even if we need to pull someone to the bottom, shouldn't we pull him? Why don't we bring him along with the double-hat boss?
At this point, Song Ran should have stopped talking, but he was silent for a moment and still insisted, "So do you like Brother Xingchi, Sister Qiaoqiao, or Brother Maomao?"
Gu Lin clapped his hands: "The kids all like it!"
Song Ran: “…”
Don't even take him to play!
Such a childish baby voice can cause so much harm!
Su Qiao couldn't help laughing, and the double-hatted boss also chuckled.
In fact, Gu Lin didn’t think so much, but it was precisely this subconscious inability to remember him that was more heartbreaking.
Song Ran: "No, why isn't Uncle Song Ran here? Don't you like Uncle Song Ran?"
Gu Lin looked at Song Ran and said, "It's not that I don't like Uncle Song Ran, but Uncle Song Ran wants to throw away the little schoolbag that Brother bought for Zi Zi."
After saying that, he added on how good Song Ran was to him, "Uncle Song Ran even held the kid up high and gave him a hug."
Song Ran: “…”
I don't dislike it, but I don't like it as much as the others. Is that what you mean?
He didn't even think about the fact that, apart from him, who else would be as mean as him, teasing the child again and again, speaking without any sense of propriety, and even saying something like asking the skeleton to take Gu Lin away.
Gu Lin cherishes the little schoolbag very much, as it was bought for him by his brother.
Song Ran might think that throwing it away was a small thing, but a small schoolbag that he could buy as many as he wanted greatly hurt the little boy's young heart.
Song Ran stopped talking and felt a little down.
He glanced at the double-hatted boss and said, "Little boy, if you like Brother Hat, then let Brother Hat hold you."
In fact, it was because he was afraid that his finger bones would scratch Gu Lin. Children have tender skin and can be easily hurt.
But he refused to say anything, and his tone showed that he didn't want to hold the baby.
People like Song Ran, who say one thing and do another but act honestly, are too naughty, and like to tease children, are the least likely to win the favor of children.
Gu Lin also had his own backbone. It was obviously Uncle Song Ran who wanted to throw away his schoolbag.
He also said that Uncle Song Ran gave him a thumbs up.
The kid has a clear distinction between love and hate, and he remembers clearly both the good and the bad things people do to him.
Song Ran didn't want to hug him, so Gu Lin stretched out his short hands to the double-layered hat guy: "Brother Mao Mao, give me a hug."
The big man in the double-layer hat glanced at Song Ran with a smile, then took the kid over.
Not long after, the black-robed skeleton came over.
It searched among the players, and seemed to be relieved when it saw the chubby and round little ball.
Then it looked at the other players, and nodded with satisfaction when it saw that they had become skeletons to varying degrees.
The players automatically ignored its hypocritical behavior. When they saw it coming, they subconsciously glanced at the time on the live broadcast panel and found that another day on Skull Island had passed.
It is now the third day of the mission.
The black-robed skeleton smiled and said, "We on Skull Island hold a memorial ceremony in Skull Valley every Wednesday. The distinguished guests can come with me to visit."
Memorial Ceremony
All the players have already started to turn into skeletons, and they are only thinking about the mission. How can they have the energy to participate in any memorial ceremony?
After hearing this, everyone lost interest and did not react any more.
Gu Lin remembered that Shazi had asked him to go see the butterflies, and said tenderly, "Zizi, go to Hulu Valley and see the little butterflies."
Black Robe Skeleton: "..."
It’s not Gourd Valley, it’s Skull Valley.
