As he spoke, the burning bear pounced on the three girls again. Of course, Li Huailin was not very worried about Hongyan drinking water. His main concern was Ceci and Gloria. Both of them did not know how to fight, so they would still be in danger if they were hit by the bear.
Li Huailin had already rushed over there. On the other side, Hongyan had also reacted by drinking water. She turned her head and began to cast a spell on the Flame Bear.
"Bind the Undead!" Hongyan opened her hands after drinking water, and a golden light shot toward the Flame Bear. It was the Priest's profession skill, Bind the Undead. Its main function was to fix the Undead in place.
There was nothing wrong with his judgment. However, the strange thing was that after Beauty Drinker's skill hit the bear, it simply flashed and disappeared. There was no effect at all. The bear was still pouncing towards the three girls.
"Huh? Why? Why? " Red Beauty was taken aback by Li Huailin's sudden arrival. Li Huailin lashed out with a kick at the charging Flame Bear, dealing over -5,000 damage. Although Li Huailin hadn't used a weapon to deal the maximum damage, he still managed to send the Flame Bear flying into the air.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, did you see that? Why didn't Bind the Undead work?" Hongyan asked curiously.
"I saw it," Li Huailin said in a low voice. "So I can be sure that this guy is not an Undead …"
"This guy is not an Undead?" Hongyan drank water and looked at the Flame Bear that was still standing up. It was already burned to such a state. It could not be a living creature. Why was it not an Undead?
"There's a very simple way to verify it." Li Huailin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "I'll resurrect it as an Undead again and see if it works."
"Huh?" Hongyan was a little stunned while drinking water. "Brother-in-law, isn't the skill to resurrect the Undead exclusive to the Undead on the dark side of the Undead? Why do you know it too? "
"I don't know, but as long as I have a special tool, I'll be able to do it." Li Huailin said simply. Then, he took out Gloom from his bag and used the Undead Army skill on the Flame Bear in front of him. A black light flashed, and Li Huailin received the notification that the skill was successfully released. He immediately put it back into his inventory, or else he would accidentally burn Gloria and Ceci behind him.
What happened next surprised everyone. The fire on the burning bear suddenly disappeared, and it fell to the ground with a loud bang, revealing its almost charred body. Before anyone could react, the charred corpse on the ground suddenly began to shake again. After twitching for a while, the charred skin on the body slowly turned into dust and fell off. Then, a completely skeletal bear stood up from the ground.
"Ugh … it really resurrected successfully." Li Huailin looked at the name on the head of the skeletal bear that had turned green, which meant that it had become a friendly wild monster (not a summoned creature of Li Huailin. It was almost the same situation as the chickens in the city).
"Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law, you really know how to resurrect the Undead." Hongyan said in surprise while drinking water.
"I've known it for a long time, okay?" Li Huailin said.
Gloria was already stunned. Of course, people who had never left the village had never seen other races other than humans. Looking at the skeletal bear here, she was a little scared. On the other hand, Ceci's expression was a little heavy. After thinking about it, he said to Li Huailin, "Huailin, it's best not to reveal this ability of yours."
"If I were just a Duke, you'd be right." Li Huailin said with a smile, "But now that I'm the emperor of the continent, there's nothing I can't say. Besides, the Church of Light and Church of Darkness are now my subordinates. There are people who will help me deal with my reputation, so there's no need to do so."
"That's true." Ceci nodded and didn't say anything else.
"But this thing is really a little strange." Li Huailin continued to change the topic to the bear. "Usually, when I resurrect other creatures, I directly resurrect zombie beasts, the kind with meat. This one is just a skeleton."
"That's why I said it was burned by the fire just now. Brother-in-law, you're so stupid." Hongyan said with a smile while drinking water.
"I just said that this thing is very strange. Things that can be determined to resurrect should be corpses. Creatures that have become Undead can't be resurrected." Li Huailin said, "Previously, when you used the Bind the Undead skill, it didn't work on it. So, this thing should be considered a corpse. That's why corpses can still move without being resurrected, and you can also see their level and so on."
"Hmm … this …" Hongyan drank water. Of course, she couldn't understand and felt a headache coming on.
"So, this thing isn't an Undead creature, but something that's being controlled by someone." Ceci suddenly said, "I understand. The thing that's controlling this corpse is those flames."
"I see." Li Huailin also nodded. "Because the flames are controlling this corpse, the system determines that this thing is a puppet creature and shows its level. This makes sense … but the flames …"
"Flames can control corpses?" Ceci, who also had the same question, said, "I've never heard of such a thing."
"I've never heard of it, but now I've seen it." Li Huailin said, "In short, although I don't know what's going on, I'll know once I go in and take a look. It must be related to this strange spire. By the way, you guys be careful. Drink some water and watch these two who can't fight. "
"Oh." Hongyan drank water and nodded.
There was a forest nearby, so it was difficult to identify the direction. However, the final destination was very obvious, so they were not worried about getting lost. The few of them walked a little closer to the Bahaier Fire-Gathering Tower, and soon they were near the bottom of the tower. However, to everyone's surprise, they didn't get attacked by any creatures along the way.
At this time, Li Huailin and the others could already see the entrance of the Bahaier Fire-Gathering Tower in front of them. The Bahaier Fire-Gathering Tower looked like a huge building from a close distance. Li Huailin couldn't even see the top of the tower when he looked up. He had no idea how people built it back then. In front of them was a huge entrance door. It was so big that an elephant could basically go through it. Of course, the door frame was a little deformed from the heat. There was a circle of iron fences outside the door, but there were only rust marks and no burn marks. Obviously, it was built after the place became a tourist attraction. Looking inside, it was pitch-black, and the atmosphere was a little scary.
"I don't know why it feels like the sky is a little darker," Ceci said. "There seems to be black charcoal floating in the air."
It was indeed so. Li Huailin also looked around. Although it was only afternoon, the sky had become a little dark as if it was going to rain. He also felt that there were black things floating in the air. It seemed that the Bahaier Fire-Gathering Tower didn't welcome them very much.
Li Huailin turned his head to look. Although Hongyan was drinking water and Gloria looked a little scared, Ceci was very excited. Waving his hand, Li Huailin said, "Let's go. You're already here. It's too late for you to go back."
"I didn't say I wanted to go back." Hongyan drank some water and said immediately, "I'm not afraid. Ah —!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Hongyan screamed as she drank the water, catching Li Huailin off guard. He turned his head to look at the direction Hongyan was looking at and saw a group of zombie-like things crawling out of the ground in front of the entrance of the Baheer Fire-Gathering Tower.
The thing that appeared in front of Li Huailin's group was similar to a zombie. The way it appeared was similar to a zombie. Of course, the difference was that the "zombie" that appeared this time was covered in flames. To be precise, it should be the same kind of thing as the burning bear from before, just that it was a humanoid creature.
"It's those puppet monsters again." As Li Huailin spoke, he took a look at the monsters' levels. He hadn't expected these monsters' levels to fluctuate so much. There were monsters ranging from Level 50 to Level 75. Although there wasn't much of a difference in appearance, the only difference was that some of the monsters wielded weapons while others didn't.
"Is the legend true? Are these the undead of Keboral? "Ceci, who was behind, said in surprise.
"You mean the residents of that small country are undead?" Li Huailin smiled. "I don't think so. That small country has been destroyed for so long. Even if there were corpses left behind, they would be skeletons. How could they be charred black? So, these people are probably the tourists who went missing recently and the mercenaries who came to investigate the incident. Look at their equipment, it seems to be mercenary equipment."
"Oh, I see." Ceci nodded slightly in disappointment. "What a pity. Otherwise, we could make up another good story."
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, there are a lot of them," Hongyan said worriedly while drinking water.
Li Huailin looked at the front. There were about a hundred monsters in front of them this time, and they were all humanoid monsters. There were indeed a lot of them. Of course, it wasn't that Li Huailin was afraid that he couldn't defeat them, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to protect Ceci and Gloria.
"Back off a little …" As soon as Li Huailin said that, he turned his head and saw flames coming from all directions. Soon, a large group of flaming creatures came out from the direction of the forest they came from, and they happened to surround Li Huailin's group from the front and back.
"Ugh … this is great." Li Huailin held his forehead. "We got surrounded for no reason."
