He truly didn't want to join in the fun. If the three mercenary groups obtained the crown, they would be able to obtain a sky-high reward. Why would he follow them?
Moreover …
Was the Undead creature that Baiers had transformed into really that easy to deal with? If he woke up, he would definitely have power on the same level as Star Sage Joy. Not only would he not be able to obtain any benefits, he might even lose his life. Even if he used his butt to think, he would know that it wasn't worth it.
"High Mage Merlin, you, you … Let me finish!" Delson became anxious and promptly ran over.
"Oh?"
Lin Yun expressionlessly looked at Delson and only let out an "oh", but didn't say anything else.
"There is one more important piece of information that I didn't have time to say. The 2nd Floor of the magic tower is actually sealed and doesn't have a Teleportation Array. There is only one way to go to the bottom of the tower, and that is to get that crown! In fact, that crown is the key to the bottom of the tower. "Delson had an anxious expression as he nervously looked at Lin Yun.
To be honest, in this world of the undead, the three mercenary groups weren't enough. If the young mage left the group at this time, the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.
Not to mention whether or not they could obtain the crown, even surviving was a problem.
Thus, he had no choice but to thicken his skin and ask Lin Yun to stay. "High Mage Merlin, this place is too dangerous. I think it would be safer if everyone stayed together …"
Lin Yun 'expression finally changed. After Delson's words, he tried to use the Book of Death to communicate with the Bone Plane, but he failed. It was as if there was a formidable power in the 2nd Floor restricting his ability to open the Planar Path. He then tried using the Natural Demiplane, but he discovered that it could be opened.
Just from this, he knew that Delson wasn't lying.
It seemed that if he wanted to leave, he would have to get that crown. Thinking of this, Lin Yun nodded. "Alright."
Hearing Lin Yun's answer, everyone, including Delson, looked relieved. Lin Yun had already become the core of this team, he was the most indispensable person in the team.
However, in these short few minutes of conversation, a strange sound came from all around them. Not far away, a ghastly white skeleton crawled out from the ground. Its body was covered with black mud, and it held a broken sword in its hand. Two phosphorescent lights flickered in its empty eye sockets.
Following that, there was another burst of earth breaking sounds, and one skeleton warrior after another crawled out from the ground.
Moreover, the number of Skeleton Warriors was still rapidly increasing …
After a while, dozens of skeleton warriors holding rusty iron swords crawled out of the ground. The phosphorescence in their eye sockets flickered violently as they surrounded Lin Yun's group.
But when they were ten meters away from Lin Yun …
Those Skeletal Warriors stopped in their tracks at the same time. The violently pulsating phosphorescence in their eye sockets instantly dimmed. Then, they retreated in fear. Only when they were dozens of meters away did those Skeletal Warriors disperse. However, none of them dared to charge forward again.
'What's going on …'
Everyone was completely dumbfounded, especially Whis. When the dozens of Skeleton Warriors surrounded him, he was just about to cast an Advanced Spell to kill them all, but before he could finish the incantation, the Skeleton Warriors had already run away. Feeling gloomy, he had no choice but to stop the spell.
He had seen the strange actions of those Skeleton Warriors. Soul Fires dimming would usually appear under two circumstances. One was when they were about to die, and the other was when they were afraid.
There was no need to think about it, the first possibility could be ruled out. Those several dozen Skeleton Warriors didn't look like they were about to die. Moreover, even if they were about to die, it shouldn't be possible for several dozen of them to die.
In that case, there was only the second possibility. Why would the Skeleton Warriors feel fear for no reason? This didn't make sense. Skeleton Warriors would only feel fear when they saw higher level undead creatures. Including himself, there were a total of eleven people in the team. How could humans make undead creatures feel fear?
Whis was puzzled as he followed everyone and walked forward. After a few minutes, another group of Skeleton Warriors surrounded them. Just as they were about to make a move, the strange thing was that those Skeleton Warriors ran away in fear.
This gave him the urge to curse out loud in his heart …
He suspected that there was a higher level undead creature hiding nearby, quietly following them. Thinking of this, Whis immediately turned his head and looked around. He immediately discovered that a hundred meters behind him, there were large areas of phosphorescence flickering. It looked like there were at least five or six hundred of them.
Whis couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat. They had only been here for less than ten minutes. How could there be so many Skeleton Warriors gathered here? And it looked like there were more and more of them. But strangely, those Skeleton Warriors didn't seem to plan on rushing over. Instead, they kept circling a hundred meters behind them.
"High Mage Merlin, stop for a bit. There are a lot of Skeleton Warriors behind us, shouldn't we get rid of them first?" Whis looked at Lin Yun walking at the front of the team and anxiously asked, "Moreover, those Skeleton Warriors are gathering more and more, I'm afraid we will run into trouble."
"Sir Whis, since they aren't attacking us, there is no need to care about them. We should keep looking for the teleportation array leading to the bottom …" Lin Yun said without turning his head.
As the instigator, how could he not know the reason?
Wasn't it all because of his Undead Predator?
He had obtained it when he entered the Death Garden, and he gradually discovered the existence of Undead Predator in the Bone Plane.
But the fewer people that knew about this ability, the better.
Thus, he didn't plan on explaining anything.
"…"
Whis was flabbergasted as he looked at Lin Yun. His throat twitched, but he didn't say anything.
He felt that the young mage was a bit immature. The group of Skeleton Warriors following behind them was a hidden danger. How could he feel at ease if he didn't get rid of them?
'Too young …'
Whis inwardly shook his head. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the young mage, his strength had already fallen to the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm. He had no choice but to lower his head.
Moreover, he felt a bit guilty when facing the young mage. The situation in the Line Canyon kept replaying in his mind. At that time, he had attacked the young mage in order to protect Solan.
Moreover, when Baiers controlled the Great Lord's Incarnation, he had even tricked the young mage, nearly killing him with a few Wind Bursts.
Just thinking about it made him break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, the young mage didn't seem to have any plans to bicker with him.
Lin Yun indifferently glanced at Whis, but didn't say anything. He then turned around and led the way. With Undead Predator, those low-level Skeleton Warriors simply didn't dare to attack them, so their journey was very smooth. They occasionally met a few High Mage Bone Devils, but they were all turned to dust by Xiuban's Carnage.
After a few hours, Lin Yun gradually realized that this undead world was far bigger than he had imagined. It was at least the size of the entire Bone Plane. As he walked, his Magic Array was revolving to its peak, constantly observing the surroundings. If Baiers' tomb appeared, he would definitely be able to sense it.
But he didn't find anything.
In such a huge undead world, this search was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
Over the past few hours, although they did not encounter any attacks from the undead creatures, everyone's nerves were stretched taut in the undead space, not daring to relax for even a moment. As they walked, a small black hill appeared in the distance. It was about a dozen meters tall, and it was made up of countless piles of broken rocks and bones.
"Eh?"
As they approached the small black hill, Lin Yun could clearly see flickering phosphorescence in the distance. Moreover, those phosphorescence were gradually increasing. He suddenly felt a chill and waved the Doom Staff in his hand. A few Mage Eyes quickly flew out and searched the area, discovering numerous undead lifeforms approaching them.
Lin Yun was thoroughly stunned. With the help of the Mage Eyes, he could clearly see that those Skeleton Warriors were shrouded in a black aura. Normally, these low-level undead lifeforms wouldn't dare to approach him, but it was somewhat abnormal now. Under the control of that black aura, they didn't seem to be affected by Undead Predator.
The number of Skeleton Warriors was so large that it was impossible to count. It could be described as a "sea". They were densely packed, and with just a glance, one could tell that there were at least thousands of them, or even close to ten thousand. Moreover, they were still crawling out from the ground.
If that was all, Lin Yun wouldn't have been stunned. There were also some huge Bone Devils mixed in the army of the undead, and there were at least several hundred of them!
Bone Devils were generally at the High Mage realm. One might not be much, but several hundred of them at the same time was a bit frightening. It was equivalent to an army of several hundred High Mages! Such a tyrannical power … Even an Archmage wouldn't be able to handle it.
'Oh no …'
Lin Yun 'heart sank, and his expression also changed. After coming to this undead world, he knew that Undead Predator was his greatest advantage.
But now, he discovered that this undead world was far from being as simple as he had imagined.
That mysterious power manipulated a large number of Undead creatures to besiege them. This was completely out of his expectations.
"Rumble …"
The Skeleton Warriors were everywhere, raising their rusted scimitars as they uniformly stepped on the pitch-black ground, letting out a deafening sound. At this moment, it felt as if the entire earth was shivering. Boundless death aura was being emitted from their bodies, condensing into a black aura in the air that looked like a sinister and terrifying face.
Everyone present was startled. Looking from afar, the black fog was a vast expanse of white. That was an innumerable number of Skeleton Warriors. Especially that black fog, it was especially strange. Within a radius of a thousand meters, it was almost completely surrounded by Undead creatures!
