Mu Huoyue let the little skeleton eat two physical fruits and used the skill scroll.

The agility fruit didn't seem to have changed anything. After eating the high-quality fruit, the little skeleton's bones looked healthier and its stealth skill was also successfully performed. It immediately merged into Mu Chuyue's shadow.

Mu Liuyue opened her eyes and summoned the little skeleton out from the beast taming space.

The little guy adapted well to the Shadow Stealth skill. After appearing, he directly merged into the surrounding shadows. The Castle of the Undead itself was a place with abundant dark power. In addition, the room was full of shadows under the phosphorescent light. The little skeleton moved with ease. He swam along the shadow of the wall all the way to the ceiling, and finally fell back into Mu Huiyue's shadow. Half of his skull emerged, and he tilted his head to look at her.

Mu Huiyue nodded. Shadow Hide might not be considered a powerful attack skill in a head-on battle, but it could greatly increase the strength of the little skeleton in an area full of shadows like the Castle of the Dead. It could use the shadows to move quickly and stealthily, and it would also have an additional means of escape when encountering dangerous high-level undead creatures.

No one knows how it brought back the two blue petals, but the little skeleton's actions must have attracted the attention of the Lord of the Secret Realm. It might be a more terrifying supernatural creature than the Rotten Eye Monster. Before being discovered by the other party, Mu Chuyue had better find a way to escape from the Castle of the Undead.

The secret realm will block the entrance to the outside world during the advent period, but the internal structure will mostly remain unchanged. Mu Huiyue carefully recalled the scene when she was sucked into the secret realm. She still remembered the room she first entered, which was on the left side of the second floor. She was then chased by the influx of rotten corpses and fled into another room in a panic. She stepped on the rotten ceiling and fell down.

Mu Liuyue thought carefully and suddenly came up with a solution.

A Beast Tamer can recall the contracted pet to the Beast Taming Space at any time and anywhere. The range of this recall is usually related to the size of the Beast Taming Space. A newly awakened apprentice Beast Tamer can only recall the pet within about ten meters in front of him.

But her beast taming space is very vast. Does that mean she can retrieve the little skeleton from a long distance?

It would be great if she had a skill like telepathy so she could communicate with the little skeleton in her mind at any time. However, even if it was only a one-way communication, it was worth a try now.

With the stealth skill, she can ask the little skeleton to help verify a lot of information at once.

"Little Skeleton, take this petal with you and go to the room at the left end of the second floor." Mu Yuyue squatted down and handed the last remaining blue petal to the little skeleton. Then she turned on the screen of her cell phone which had lost signal. "I will take you back to the Beast Taming Space in one minute... that is, after counting to 60 in my mind."

"Before that, you need to do your best to reach that room and pay attention to the distribution of extraordinary creatures around you, and whether they will be attracted by the petals in your hand." Mu Huiyue continued, "Put your own safety first during the whole process, and it is best to maintain a hidden state. Can you do it, little skeleton?"

"Click, click!" The little skeleton clenched his fists seriously, then merged into the shadows with the petals and disappeared.

Mu Huoyue glanced at the time on the phone screen and closed her eyes.

External objects such as mobile phones and clothes cannot be stored in the beast taming space, nor can they be brought into the shadows by the little skeleton, but the blue petals can. Mu Huiyue guessed that this was the influence of the power of the secret realm. After all, the beast taming space and the shadow-stealing skill are both uses of the power of the secret realm to a certain extent. The blue petals as secret realm resources and the extraordinary creatures born from the secret realm can be said to be of the same origin.

The dark blue petals, which are the core of the secret realm, should also be attractive to other extraordinary creatures in the secret realm.

She could feel that the little skeleton's position was constantly moving, getting farther and farther away from her. Mu Chuyue's first guess was correct. Her summoning distance was indeed much stronger than that of the beastmasters of the same level, and perhaps the contract position as well, but this would have to wait until later to be verified.

One minute passed quickly, and Mu Liuyue took back the little skeleton on time, and then summoned it out from the beast taming space.

A complicated black-patterned summoning formation flashed by, and a little skeleton popped out from Mu Chuyue's shadow, talking excitedly.

(I moved through the shadows and soon arrived at the room at the end of the second floor. There was a very strange fluctuation there, forming a distorted space fluctuation, which was probably the exit of the secret realm.)

(However, the room was surrounded by rotting corpses, and I encountered wandering ghosts (the rotten eye monsters from before) on the way. As long as I took out the petals from the shadows, they would chase me. Fortunately, I returned to the beast control space when they were about to catch up.)

"What a capable little skeleton!" Mu Liuyue smiled and touched its skull. All her guesses were confirmed in this action. The little skeleton was smarter than she expected.

"Click, click, click, click!" The little skeleton's teeth collided rapidly, making a series of clicking sounds.

(In this case, I can lead the petals away to lure away the corpses and evil spirits, and let the beastmaster sneak into the exit room, right? As long as I am taken back to the beastmaster space in the end... Until then, I will do my best to hold on!)

"Little Skeleton..." Mu Chuyue was really a little surprised. The intelligence and emotions of most supernatural creatures are related to their race and growth level. The little skeleton, which is still in its infancy, should be a child, with instinctive emotions accounting for the majority. Yet, he could come up with such a clear and feasible plan after reconnaissance.

Her little skeleton is really unusual!

Mu Yuyue nodded: "Just do as you say, but you must put your own safety first, and don't force yourself, understand?"

"Click!" The little skeleton stretched out his bones and clenched them into a small fist. He bumped fists with his beastmaster, and then disappeared into the shadows.

After sensing the little skeleton going away, Mu Liuyue stood up and moved his ankle.

The fractured bones had mostly healed, and she had no problem with basic movements. She had to reach the room at the end of the second floor before the little skeleton could no longer hold on.

The human girl took a deep breath, prepared herself mentally, and walked out of the room.

The corridor was filled with a sweet and rotten smell. Mu Liuyue frowned slightly and moved quickly towards her destination.

After awakening to become a beastmaster, her physical fitness has greatly improved in all aspects. The little skeleton with dark attributes has resonated with the dark enhancement talent, making Mu Huoyue more sensitive to the power of the dark secret realm.

For example, now, she can not only sense the location of the little skeleton, but also discover several dark creatures floating in a room not far away.

Most undead creatures have dark attributes, and there is also a single dark supernatural creature in the Castle of the Dead, which is equally mysterious and dangerous.

Just as he was thinking, Mu Chuyue had already walked to the stairs leading to the second floor. There stood two guardian statues over three meters tall. They had the appearance of canines with huge wings and sharp claws. They looked a little weathered, and dust covered the edges and corners.

Mu Chuyue's heart tightened when she saw this. She didn't dare to be careless at all. She held her breath and carefully walked around behind the stone statue.

A dark elite race, the gargoyles. Normally, it will remain motionless as a statue, but once activated, it will angrily attack all creatures around it.

Gargoyles are not particularly powerful supernatural creatures, but the combat power of this high-level elite race is also a huge threat to Mu Chuyue, who currently has no contracted pet by her side. What's more, gargoyles have the tricky ability to fly. If they are accidentally activated, Mu Chuyue will have no chance of escaping.

Fortunately, gargoyles can only sense movements within the front line of sight. Mu Liuyue moved forward slowly and lightly, while thanking the original owner in his heart for his memory as an excellent student, who even had an impression of such a rare dark supernatural creature as a gargoyle.

Just as she was about to leave the gargoyle's range, a crackling noise suddenly came from the front, scaring her so much that she froze in place.

A group of about four or five skeletons the size of adults were staggering past in a line. They were all wearing tattered armor with incomplete parts. The noise was caused by the armor colliding back and forth.

A high-level elite race, extraordinary creatures of the dark and undead systems, card-tooth soldiers.

Mu Huoyue found their names in his memory. Yes, these larger skeletons were the evolved forms of the small skeletons.

Usually, the evolved card-tooth soldiers simply change from low-level elites to high-level elite races, while some small skeletons that are proficient in the [Reorganization] skill will have the higher-level reorganization skill [Dead Corpse] after evolution, and become card-tooth soldiers of the low-level warrior race.

The team of soldiers walked straight forward, and when they were about to hit the gargoyle statue, the leading soldier suddenly stopped, and the soldiers behind were caught off guard and all collided with each other, falling to the ground with a crackling sound, turning into a pile of bones.

The eyes of the two gargoyles flickered, with no intention of activating at all, as if they were already used to this.

Mu Liuyue: “…” Why does he seem not very smart?

However, after her little skeleton evolves, it will definitely become the smartest and most flexible card soldier!

While the pile of bones were being reassembled, Mu Chuyue quickly slipped up to the second floor.

She glanced at the screen of her mobile phone and found that nearly five minutes had passed since the little skeleton left.

Along the way, she did not encounter any extraordinary creatures above the high elite races. The previous corpses and evil spirits were all led away by the little skeleton with flower petals. Even with the shadow stealth skill, the little skeleton should not be able to hold on for too long. If there are dark creatures that also have the trick to control the shadows, the little skeleton will be in danger.

Mu Huoyue quickened her pace and walked towards the room at the end of the corridor. The stench in the second-floor corridor became stronger. She frowned unconsciously, suppressed the urge to feel nauseous and continued forward.

At this moment, Mu Liuyue's heart suddenly trembled, and she leaned back almost instinctively.

She saw a flesh-red tongue covered with foul-smelling mucus passing right in front of her eyes, as fast as a bullet. If she had been a moment later, she would have been pierced through by this tongue full of thorns.

Thanks to her sharpened dark-type enhanced talent, Mu Shuyue took two steps back with lingering fear and looked up at the source of the tongue flick——

It was a humanoid monster attached to the ceiling. Its limbs were extremely thick and it had no skin. Its entire body was covered in red flesh oozing with pus and blood. Its head was left with only the shape of a tumor. A crack ran through its throat, and its edges were covered with fangs. Its flesh-red tongue was faintly visible, hiding in the depths of the crack like a snake.

A mid-level undead warrior race, the Lickers!

Mu Chuyue finally understood where the disgusting stench came from. The licker probably had another skill to hide its body. Mu Chuyue didn't even notice its existence until the moment it attacked.

Wasn’t this guy attracted away by the blue petals?

Without time to think, Mu Chuyue turned around to dodge the long tongue that was shot out again, but he was still a step too slow and was scratched on the arm by the flesh thorns on it.

The numbing and itchy pain quickly spread, and soon his entire arm was about to lose consciousness. Mu Chuyue knew that he could not avoid the next attack. Being targeted by extremely dangerous supernatural creatures such as the Lickers, humans had no choice but to struggle as food.

However, the exit is just ahead, and as long as you enter that room, there is still a glimmer of hope!

She gritted her teeth and called out to her contracted pet in the beast control space.

"Little Skeleton!"

A dark and complicated summoning circle appeared in mid-air, and a small skeleton jumped out. The black mist condensed into a tall white bone in its hand.

"Click!" (Don't stop, run to the exit!)

The little skeleton held the bones high with both hands, and used the impact of the fall to hit the licker's head hard, where only the tumor was left.

Bone stick hitting!

Although the power is small, it is an E-level dark skill that can stun the opponent for one second as long as it hits the vital point.

Mu Huoyue ran desperately towards the room at the end of the corridor and stretched out his hand towards the distorted space.

The moment she was sucked in, she took the little skeleton back into her own beast-taming space.

A strong feeling of weightlessness swept over her. Her skin was hurt by the night wind and her brain seemed to be squeezed by a heavy object, causing her to explode in pain. In the last second she was still in the stinking castle of the undead, and in the next second she was in a state of free fall in the air.

Something was whistling and chasing after her. Before she knew it, Mu Chuyue felt like she had landed in a large area of ​​soft feathers.

"The missing high school student has been found, coordinates A2. I repeat, coordinates A2..."

There was someone talking behind him, and the whirring sound of a huge bird flapping its wings. Mu Chuyue could no longer hold on and completely lost consciousness amid the worried shouts of the people behind him.
