The pitch-black room always gave Bai Xi the illusion that she was about to enter another world. She didn't know what the Bone Lord was doing inside, but judging from his crazy state, there must be something very powerful inside.
After killing the Bone Lord, the concealment magic on her body was also removed. From now on, she must be extremely careful to avoid the dangers in this city lord's mansion.
Little did they know, the skull that had been patrolling the sky above the city of the undead turned its gaze toward the city lord's mansion the instant the Bone Lord's soul fire was extinguished.
A large amount of eerie green flames burst forth, and soon after, a sharp and unpleasant howl came from the mouth of the giant skull.
While sleeping in the city lord's mansion, the other 'Bone Lords' also awoke from their slumber and rapidly approached the second floor where Bai Xi was.
The scene was terrifying, almost like a zombie apocalypse, with countless identical 'Bone Lords' emerging from the ground and crawling out of the piles of bones in the courtyard.
Throughout the city lord's mansion, all the skeletons were not mere decorations, but rather the alter egos of the Skeleton Lord.
They will awaken from their slumber when one of their clones dies, and strangle the assassins who try to kill him.
Although each clone is not strong, even weaker than an ordinary undead lord, their sheer number is terrifying. As long as there are bones, they can transform into clones of themselves at any time.
Once the assassins are completely eliminated, these clones will fall back into slumber, leaving only one to continue existing as the lord of the Undead City.
This is the Lich King's method of survival.
Every powerful undead possesses extraordinary abilities, and once released from the Western Continent, they will bring terrifying calamities to living beings.
At that time, the entire city of the undead was in a state of panic, and all the undead were fleeing outwards.
Because they saw that many of the skeleton lord's clones had awakened, it meant that the undead were threatening the city lord, and danger was imminent. No one wanted to become a victim.
They dragged their stiff bodies, their white bones teetering on the verge of falling off; some had already fallen off on the way to the city lord's mansion.
Most of them were 'Bone Lords' who had woken up inside the city lord's mansion. In just a few seconds, they had already arrived at the second floor of the city lord's mansion and were approaching where Bai Xi was.
Bai Xi was unaware of all this. After killing the Bone Lord, she entered that strange room, where she could barely see anything.
She killed the Bone Lord, but had to be careful not to be discovered, so she could only proceed cautiously.
However, even though Bai Xi had walked to the very back of the room, she still couldn't sense anything; no matter how she tried to perceive it, it was completely empty.
The instincts of the undead are ineffective here, as if they are blocked.
Bai Xi looked puzzled. If there was nothing inside, then who was the Bone Lord talking to?
"I have a strange feeling about this place, should we go out?"
The little ghost was very uneasy, and the closer it got to the inside, the more uneasy it became. When Bai Xi tried to find the item several times, she finally couldn't help but dissuade it.
"No, I want to find the secret of the Bone Lord."
Bai Xi shook her head and refused the little ghost's request.
Just as she finished speaking, there was a knocking sound at the door, like many, many people pounding on it with great force, but they couldn't open it.
Bai Xi was startled; if she had a heart, it would be racing.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have any now, and can only look towards the doorway.
The loud knocking continued, or rather, it shouldn't be called knocking. The guy outside seemed to want to break down the door, but for some reason, perhaps the door was too sturdy, or perhaps for some other reason.
They cannot enter for the time being.
Bai Xi could almost guess that the guards outside were there to arrest her.
The city lord died at her hands, so it's normal for them to come and arrest her.
It seems there's really no other way now. Unless she forces her way in, she'll have to find a way out of this room.
Bai Xi ignored the guys knocking on the door and chose to go deeper inside.
Judging from the commotion outside, they shouldn't be able to get in anytime soon; she just needs to hurry.
The little ghost also sighed silently, knowing that Bai Xi was a person who wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal, so she just followed her.
However, even Little Ghost and Bai Xi did not expect that outside the door of the room where she was, there were a large number of 'Bone Lord' clones. They were stiff like zombies and mechanically ramming the door with their bodies.
Some were using undead power to break down the door, but they were unable to do so.
Even the entire city lord's mansion was filled with the clones of the 'Bone Lord'. The second floor and the first floor hall were also densely packed with the clones of the 'Bone Lord'.
As soon as Baixi opens the door, she will be overwhelmed and reduced to ashes by the army of the 'Bone Lord'.
However, the room where Bai Xi was located was the most important room in the entire city lord's mansion, equipped with the strongest barrier, a place that the Bone Lord absolutely forbade other undead to enter.
The room can only hold one undead; any additional undead, even the undead themselves, cannot enter.
This is to prevent the clone from causing trouble.
The skeleton lord's clone that Bai Xi killed had developed its own consciousness and separated from the whole group because it had been the city lord for a long time.
That's why he was filled with despair when Bai Xi killed him.
However, Bai Xi will never know about this, nor does she want to.
Inside the room, Bai Xi was still fumbling around, trying to find something useful along the walls. The only sound in the quiet space was the urgent and violent banging on the door from outside.
Bai Xi, however, remained calm and composed as she searched.
Although she appeared calm, she was actually quite panicked inside. Anyone would panic if they were trapped like a turtle in a jar. Even if she went out now, she would still be surrounded and attacked by those guards.
To avoid this terrible situation, Bai Xi still chose to search for the secret.
If we find it, even getting a beating would be worth it.
As Bai Xi was pondering to herself, the next second, she sensed a subtle difference in the wall she was facing.
It's such a tiny flaw that even a slightly careless person would probably miss it.
Bai Xi's face lit up with joy, and she immediately manipulated the power of magic to touch the barely perceptible crack. She gently tapped it with magic and sensed the location of the switch.
As magic was channeled in, a bright light instantly burst forth in the room.
At the same time, all the skeletal lords surrounding the area began to stir, roaring incessantly. Even the giant skull moved to the top of the city lord's mansion.
