These things would definitely be useful. With the instinct of a player who had many game experiences, Chu Ge immediately felt this.

This Small Soul Crystal was about the size of a glass ball. It was as white as a crystal, but there was a faint ball of blue light inside that emitted a light blue brilliance.

Chu Ge thought that this crystal might be some kind of unique material, as he put it away.

Bronze coin x 5 and Bone Powder. Bone Powder again? It seemed that Bone Powder was a special product of skeletons, just like how Kobold Candles would drop from Kobolds.

However, for the Kobolds, at least the Kobold’s Gold could be dropped from them, as well as Black Leather Pouches and some food supplies. However, these skeletons did not even lose a single hair. After Chu Ge had cut down seven or eight skeletons, not a single decent treasure was dropped.

“At least these junk skeletons were fragile and easy to fight against,” Chu Ge comforted himself. However, when he reached the end of the passage and pushed open a wooden door in front of him, he was startled by what he saw.

Right in front of him were 13 or 14 skeletons were crammed in the room.

“Sh*t, how can I fight against them?” Chu Ge wondered, startled as he quickly closed the door again and observed the skeletons through a crack in the door.

Chu Ge looked at a sea of white in front of him with bewilderment. Although the combat strength of the skeletons was very low, this was based on a one-on-one situation or a one-versus-two situation. Chu Ge felt he could probably fight one-versus-four, as well. But if he fought more than four skeletons, it would be challenging for him not to get injured. There were currently more than ten skeletons in front of him. If they all attacked him, then it would be a dangerous situation, even with the anti-explosive armor.

This was forcing Chu Ge to fight and lure the monsters out. He thought to himself that it was fortunate he had come prepared.

During the last week, apart from exercising, he had also bought a few things that he believed he would be able to use in the next Instance Dungeon. These things included a few small gas cans that weighed five kilograms.

There were only two things in his bag right now. Initially, he did not want to use this thing. It was mainly because he felt that the gas cans would be too dangerous. If it exploded, who knew where the debris would fly. It would be bad if he accidentally hurt himself. Also, he was not very confident about how to detonate these gas cans. When he bought them, the store owner swore that these gas cans were extremely safe and would not easily explode. Although Chu Ge felt that the owner had just been boasting, it still made Chu Ge feel a little worried. But now it seemed that he had no choice but to use the gas.

However, Chu Ge ca not just rely on the gas cans alone. He thought that if the gas can did not explode, he would need a backup plan.

While thinking of this, Chu Ge began to lay snap traps again. Since the snap traps could even clamp onto a Boss, there was no reason that it wouldn’t be able to deal with the group of skeletons.

It took a lot of effort for Chu Ge to install the ten snap traps one by one on the passageway outside the wooden door. Because there was no anchor, these traps were directly placed on the ground. Fortunately, these skeletons were not large creatures like the bears. Although the snap traps might not be able to render the skeletons completely unable to move, it could at least make the skeletons unable to run away. This would allow Chu Ge plenty of room to attack.

Ten traps were placed in one go. Then, Chu Ge began to prepare his attack on the skeletons to lure them out. He first opened the door, and when the skeletons did not respond, he placed a small gas can that weighed five kilograms on the ground at the entrance. Then, he kicked the gas can with his foot. The gas can rolled along the stone floor and was successfully made it to the middle of the room. Afterward, Chu Ge fired a flame missile at the gas can.

In the scenario envisioned by Chu Ge, he would shoot a fireball to detonate the gas can, blowing off a group of skeletons. Then, he would walk up and finish off the remaining skeletons.

However, what he did not expect was that with a bang, the outer shell of the gas can was hit by the fireball, while the gas can itself did not explode. Instead, it was knocked out like a spinning top, and rolled into the corner.

“Sh*t! Why am I so unlucky? It really didn’t explode?” Chu Ge said out loud.

Chu Ge wanted to cry but had no tears to shed. The group of skeletons all reacted one by one. Even if dead spirits did not have much intelligence, it was difficult not to attract their attention with such a loud noise. One by one, the skeletons rushed towards Chu Ge while waving their sabers and swords.

Even though individual skeletons are useless, it was still terrifying to listen to the clicking sounds made by these a dozen or so skeletons when they were running, especially since these skeletons were running very fast because of their light bodies.

“It’s a good thing that I have a backup plan!” Chu Ge thought helplessly, as he turned around and ran.

He stepped carefully in the gaps between the snap traps and quickly went through them. Then, he held a big club with both of his hands and waited.

With a bang, the heavy wooden door was slammed open.

He watched helplessly as more than ten skeletons rushed out of the room and stepped into the formation trap set by the snap traps. Then, he heard the sound of traps being triggered.

These skeletons, which had no intelligence and only relied on instinct, were not immune to snap traps. One after another, the skeletons stepped into the traps. Only five skeletons had completely avoided the traps and went through the formation.

Only five skeletons, so it was okay.

Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he could handle these five skeletons.

Chu Ge spun the big club and swung it towards the five skeletons. He first swung at the skeleton at the front of the group, cutting it in two. Then, he swung again and knocked over two more skeletons.

The third skeleton swung its sword towards Chu Ge, who quickly retreated. However, the sword cut his arm, and he felt a sudden pain. Although his defense was not broken, the attack from the skeleton still caused a lot of pain.

“Screw you,” Chu Ge thought as he kicked the third skeleton, making it fly across the room and stumble to the side. These skeletons were so light that they basically would fall as soon as they were kicked. Then, Chu Ge continued to wave the big club in his hand as he burst the skull of the fourth skeleton.

However, the first skeleton he had smashed away and cut in two did not die. Even though it had been cut in half, it still jumped up behind Chu Ge by using its hands. A bone arm strangled him fiercely as its entire body clung onto Chu Ge. Another skeleton then grabbed at his face. Fortunately, he was wearing an anti-explosive helmet and a mask.

Although the anti-explosive helmet and the mask had blocked the attacks by the two skeletons, their sudden appearance frightened Chu Ge.

There was half a skeleton lying on his back, and there were two skeletons in front of him. What could Chu Ge do?

He was so frightened that he suddenly fell, but that half a skeleton still clung onto him.

While feeling anxious, Chu Ge slammed backward and avoided the attacks of the two skeletons. At the same time, he had slammed the skeleton on his back onto the wall. With a cracking sound, the skeleton relaxed its hold on Chu Ge. It seemed like it had suffered a heavy blow. Without saying much, Chu Ge pulled the skeleton’s arm and threw it to the ground, then kicked its skull.

Afterward, Chu Ge fought with the two skeletons that rushed towards him again.

Chu Ge took care of the five skeletons with a lot of effort. Then, he turned around. At that moment, he saw the other eight or nine skeletons that had been caught by the snap traps earlier, drag these traps across the ground, while moving around with difficulty as they pushed and squeezed each other.

If Chu Ge had not been scared just now, he would have found this scene in front of him very funny. But at the current moment, he could not laugh at all. He spun the club in his hand and launched an execution-style attack towards these immobile skeletons. They were not able to run away or avoid the attack. Like playing baseball, Chu Ge swung towards the skulls. Without too much effort, he had completely smashed these skeletons.

With a bang, the last skeleton soldier was hit in the head and died. After losing control of their bodies, the skeletons crashed on the ground into a pile of broken bones. Looking at the pile of white bones on the ground, Chu Ge breathed a long sigh of relief.

“Sh*t. This was so f*cking tiring,” Chu Ge thought.

However, it was finally over. It was lucky that these dead spirits did not have any intelligence. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous for Chu Ge.
