428 Crown (1/2)

Black smoke suddenly rushed over, emitting a bone-chilling aura. When they sensed that aura, everyone froze. A thin and bony black silhouette came out of the thick black mist.

'Shit…'

When they saw that scene, they all started sweating, 'The Lich isn't dead yet!'

Lin Yun secretly shook his head, he only wanted to try summoning the Lich, but he hadn't expected that the others would react like that. When he severed the connection, the Undead Horseman and the Lich's silhouette gradually turned blurry, they transformed into a black mist once again and entered the Book of Death. Lin Yun immediately noticed the two new designs on the Book of Death, the Undead Horseman and the Lich.

After going through that arduous battle, everyone, except Lin Yun, was suffering from mana exhaustion, their fighting power had dropped and they looked exhausted. Some of them even had some minor injuries. They would be in great danger if they met another Lich.

”This undead world is far more dangerous than we imagined. Moreover, there are definitely numerous Higher Undeads. The Lich might have been attracted by the large amount of death energy, staying here is dangerous, we should keep going…” Lin Yun called out to the others and they got on the move.

They had been in this place for less than a day and Lin Yun experienced how dangerous that place was. Although it wasn't comparable to the 8th Floor's magic beast world, they still encountered two Higher Undead in a day, which was a bit too much for him.

He was already certain that the people Baiers brought with him back then had most likely died in this place and had turned into undeads. Lagulin and Barton were only two among them, there might be many more Higher Undeads slumbering in some corners of this undead world.

Lin Yun couldn't help worrying...

Was there a Heaven Rank powerhouse among the subordinates Baiers brought back then? If there was, then the undead formed after that subordinate's death wasn't something they could handle.

On the way, Lin Yun's Magic Array was revolving at maximum capacity.

After two hours of going deeper, Lin Yun clearly noticed the huge changes in the surroundings. A thick black fog was slowly flowing in the surroundings alongside a bone-chilling cold aura, and broken bones could be seen everywhere.

Moreover, the power of the undeads they encountered had greatly increased. When they first came to the undead world, half an hour could pass without them meeting a Bone Devil, but now, one would appear every few minutes.

Fortunately, it was only Bone Devils, they couldn't pose a threat to Lin Yun's group. And thankfully, no Higher Undead appeared in the past two hours.

Several wind spells flew and landed on a Bone Devil. At this moment, Weiss discovered something in his peripheral vision, and when he looked at it, his eyes widened from shock.

”Heavens… Look at this! What is that…” Weiss pointed in a direction and exclaimed.

”That's…”

Lin Yun couldn't help frowning, he followed Weiss' finger, but could only see a white outline due to the black mist. It looked like a hundred meters tall hill, but after observing it for a bit, Lin Yun's expression changed. That wasn't a hill, rather, it was a pile of bones!

This scene was truly shocking...

How many bones were needed to make a hundred meters tall hill?

Moreover, this could never be formed naturally.

Thus...

They all looked at each other, seemingly recalling something as happy expressions started appearing on their faces.

”Rumble…”

More wind spells landed on that Bone Devil, and the latter let out a shout before its bones scattered on the ground, his Soul Fire extinguished. The Undead Essence flew out of its bones and entered the hill of bones.

”If there is no surprise, this should be the place we are looking for…” Delson looked in the distance, ”Baiers' body should be buried here, and the crown should also be there.”

”Wait…”

Just as they prepared to move, a disharmonious voice echoed.

”Wait? Wait for what…” Delson instantly answered, his expression turning heavy. Getting that crown wasn't just the way to leave this place, only with it could they get that sky-high reward.
