In the desolate western continent, the undead are chasing and intercepting three figures of different colors. Their ferocious roars echo across the wilderness, yet none of the undead can truly harm them.
The three figures maintained their speed and moved towards the direction of the Necromancer's City where Bai Xi was located.
Even the relatively slow merfolk are incredibly fast; no undead can stop them. Every undead is instantly torn apart in their hands, not even the powerful lich.
Xiu's face was frighteningly cold the whole way.
As for the reason, it was because... he encountered a human slave who had been released by Bai Xi on the road. After asking a few simple questions, he somehow became certain that the undead who appeared in the City of the Dead was Maggie.
He couldn't think of anyone other than Maggie who would release the undead who were human slaves.
But he also heard about Maggie offending the Bone Lord, which made him somewhat anxious.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Maggie's abilities, but it would be better if she could be safer.
When he was thinking about these things, he didn't even consider that Bai Xi was also a ghost, and that she harbored the same instinctive malice towards him, a living mermaid.
I want to kill him.
Of course, he wasn't the only one who had a mental lapse and overlooked this point; the other two did the same.
It might not be a mental lapse, but simply a matter of not wanting to think about it.
Perkin hadn't considered the possibility of Beshi attacking him at all, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter to him.
If it's the owner...
Even if I were killed, I could accept it.
It's so extreme that even Bai Xi herself would feel horrified if she heard it. Fortunately, they are still on the road and Bai Xi is completely unaware of this.
...
"Hmm... I think I'm doomed."
After hearing Luo Yi's report from outside, Bai Xi felt as if the sky had fallen.
"I also think you're finished."
The little ghost nodded seriously.
"?"
Bai Xi glanced at the little ghost speechlessly. If she had a body now, she would be so angry that her internal organs would ache.
Since the elemental spirits could move freely, Bai Xi arranged for Roy and the others to go out and scout ahead for safety reasons. As you can imagine, Roy was terrified by what he saw when he returned.
"In a sense, you are also a genius."
The little ghost, however, was not in a hurry at all, and calmly continued to mock Bai Xi.
"I think it would be more appropriate to help me find a way to escape than to mock me."
Bai Xi rolled her eyes in the darkness. The 'Bone Lord' clone outside was still pounding on the door. She could withstand the clone's attack for a while if she went out now, but she couldn't hold out for long.
Even if magic power is unlimited and can continuously cover the area, the range is still extremely limited.
According to Roy, the number was overwhelming, almost submerging the entire Necromancer City. Even if she escaped the city lord's mansion, there would be an even more terrifying number waiting for her outside.
Bai Xi felt dizzy and was truly impressed by the Bone Lord's thought process.
Would a normal undead prepare so many backups for itself?
Even a lich simply stores its soul data on a disk, hides it in a specific location, and seeks an opportunity to be resurrected.
This thing is something else; it copies a huge number of copies, so many that even the antivirus system can't use it and can't clean it up.
"That means you still need to study."
The little ghost stood in the air with its arms crossed, speaking calmly, and even promoted the survival mode of the Bone Lord.
"No, I'm afraid of schizophrenia."
Bai Xi refused without hesitation.
"Don't worry, the room's defenses are exceptionally strong. It sounds terrifying, but they won't be able to get in anytime soon. You have plenty of time to figure out how to escape."
The little ghost noticed Bai Xi's frustration and kindly explained why he wasn't in a hurry.
To Bai Xi, it simply meant that she could postpone her second death.
She had initially thought that those surrounding her were undead maids or guards, and that with her current strength, escaping should be more than enough, and she could accept being hit a couple of times if necessary.
I didn't expect the Bone Lord to have left behind... several thousand hands.
Thinking of this, Bai Xi just wanted to facepalm.
"Something else is rapidly approaching."
Suddenly, Leia's voice rang out in the darkness, drawing Bai Xi's attention away.
"What?"
Bai Xi was taken aback because she hadn't heard anything.
"I can feel the wind movement. There's a fast-moving creature that's weaving through the encirclement of multiple clones and heading towards you."
Leia patiently explained.
At this moment, Roy and the little jellyfish also reacted.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Roy didn't give Baixi a chance to refuse before leaving with the little jellyfish, seemingly eager to give Baixi a sense of security. If someone could come to rescue her, that would be the best thing ever.
"Actually... no need, I can probably guess who it is."
Bai Xi opened her mouth, but unfortunately Luo Yi didn't hear the second half of what she said.
"who?"
Leia raised a question.
"Is it that vampire? It doesn't look like a good thing, it's eyeing our Baixi."
Lu Ling suddenly spoke up at an inopportune moment, his deep, middle-aged voice sounding like a caring middle-aged man looking after his younger relatives. His words made Bai Xi, Leia, and the little ghost freeze.
It sounds like they consider Bai Xi as one of their own.
And that is indeed the case. Lu Ling has always liked Bai Xi. She is serious and hardworking, and never complains about being tired even when training is difficult. Any human would be very proud to have a child like that.
Lu Ling also felt very proud.
So during the time that the vampire was 'training' Bai Xi, Lu Ling was secretly dissatisfied and suspected that Ulysses had ulterior motives towards Bai Xi, but she couldn't say it directly.
Now, under such dangerous circumstances, the fact that they have to painstakingly create an opening to save Maggie makes their motives seem even more impure.
Although this might not be too difficult for him, a progenitor of vampires, it would definitely be very troublesome. Thinking about it this way, Lu Ling felt as if the cabbage was about to be devoured.
What he said naturally became somewhat shocking.
Bai Xi was so overwhelmed by what she heard that she felt numb.
"No, no... he probably hasn't had enough fun yet."
She offered a feeble excuse, for she didn't actually know why Ulysses had come to save her.
But before she could correct Lu Ling's thoughts, Leia fluttered her wings and made a questioning sound.
"Wait, the number of guys approaching at high speed has increased; from one to four!"
As Leia spoke, her tone became increasingly shocked.
"?"
Bai Xi was taken aback. If one of them was Ulysses, then who were the others?
