Perhaps because she had become a ghost, Bai Xi could not feel the passage of time. She had no hunger or thirst, no sense of touch or smell, and was just a soul wandering in the wilderness.
When she arrived at the City of the Dead, she couldn't say how much time had passed; she only knew that she had finally arrived.
The journey wasn't too boring, since there was a group of noisy elemental spirits chattering in her ear.
“We’ve been to this place many times, I guarantee Baixi won’t get lost.”
Roy floated in front of Baixi, leading the way with a proud expression.
However, his words also indirectly revealed just how long the little guys had been bored while Bai Xi was asleep.
They cannot return to the Elemental Source Realm, and there is a barrier between it and the ordinary continent, so they cannot travel freely and can only stay in this world full of the dead.
If it weren't for having a few friends with me, I don't know how bored I would be.
"Then I'll trust you."
Bai Xi nodded in agreement, a relaxed expression on her face.
After all, the person is already dead, so the situation shouldn't be any worse than it is now, right?
From afar, a giant skull floats directly above the city of the undead, from which eerie green flames occasionally burst forth, illuminating the entire city in an instant.
The city walls were made of piled-up bones, and the green firelight illuminated the traces of bones on the walls—bones of humans, beasts, and unknown races.
Interestingly, although many races on the continent of Coral are on the verge of extinction, or have even been wiped out.
Similar to the twin Fire Spirits, but on the Western Continent, you can see all sorts of extinct races. Although they are all in undead form, the variety is quite rich at a glance.
It's much richer than what I've seen in human territory.
There are all sorts of strange-looking creatures.
This also indirectly illustrates how many races perished in the Scourge, which explains the sheer number of races that appear here.
According to the little ghost, this place is a royal city ruled by a necromancer king of the same caliber as the current Baixi, and high-ranking necromancers from the surrounding area come and go here.
And unfortunately... the ruler here is the Bone Lord.
A type of undead that Bai Xi is somewhat familiar with; the undead that cooperated with the Morit siblings when resolving the teleportation array crisis was the Bone Lord.
There are a few high-level undead who have the means to leave the Western Continent and move freely in human territory, but they are restricted by the rules of the continent and cannot exert their full strength.
However, it was Nesser who discovered the Bone Lord; Bai Xi never met him in person.
Back then, Bai Xi was quite ruthless. He used the Demon King to control the teleportation array, thwarting the White Bone Lord's plot and preventing the White Bone Lord from leading the undead army through the teleportation array.
Now it seems that this Bone Lord might be the one she had a grudge against before.
After all, there are only a handful of undead who can become undead kings. Although there might be two bone lords at the undead king level, the probability is not very high.
Wandering into the territory of a high-ranking undead with whom you have a grudge is not a good thing.
only......
Bai Xi glanced at the excited and happy little ones around her and sighed silently in her heart.
Never mind, it's not a big deal.
Since they were going to kill him anyway, this was a good opportunity to avenge Nesser, who had been beaten so badly by him.
Although it's still unknown whether it was his clone or his subordinate who attacked Nesser, now that they have the opportunity to meet, the truth will surely be revealed soon.
Having come this far, Bai Xi has come to clearly understand just how terrifying her strength truly is.
Almost no undead dared to approach her; even the weaker ones would be instantly annihilated, unable to even get close to her.
So when she first woke up, the ghost that tried to devour her must have been a fairly powerful undead.
Now that she's in the territory of another undead king, she doesn't feel any pressure; on the contrary, she feels quite at ease, which means that even if a fight breaks out, she doesn't need to be afraid.
They are fully capable of fighting.
Even more surprisingly, to Bai Xi's own astonishment, she was still able to use magic after becoming an undead.
That's right, her magical artifact book came to the Western Continent with her, as if it were deeply bound to her soul. Even if she deliberately threw the book away, it would inexplicably return to her side.
With the magic artifact book and the elemental spirits by her side, she can not only use magic, but also use it in a way that is far more exaggerated and powerful than before.
Bai Xi just couldn't understand how the power of death could be transformed into magic and still be used normally.
This is probably why Philomona chose her.
But this is ultimately someone else's territory, and if a conflict breaks out, she will definitely not have the upper hand.
Of course, Bai Xi didn't intend to fight head-on. If she really couldn't win, she could always run away. She now had a way out, unlike before when she had to live or die.
With that thought, Bai Xi immediately relaxed a lot and even felt like going shopping.
Unlike the royal cities in human territory, the things sold here are obviously much more terrifying and horrifying. There are no usual places to eat or drink; instead, there are more... bone repair shops, necromancer blacksmith shops, or trading pawnshops.
The items available for trading here are even more terrifying. Skulls are the most common items, and Soulfire and Lich Box can also be traded.
Undead can advance by devouring their own kind, making them a very cruel race.
Therefore, the remains of their own kind are merely upgrade materials for them.
Even Bai Xi herself felt a restless hunger as she passed by those high-level soul flames, just like a human seeing bread or cake.
This also made Bai Xi realize the reality that she had become an undead.
Before, when Philomona tossed the Puppeteer's Soul Flame next to her, she couldn't feel it at all. But now, those Soul Flames are like fireflies in the night, constantly drawing her attention even if she doesn't look at them.
This feeling is very subtle.
Bai Xi suppressed his hunger and passed by various shops belonging to the undead race. There were basically no mindless low-level undead here; they were all intelligent high-level undead.
So if she wants to talk to someone, that's fine with her.
Just as Bai Xi was considering whether to talk to a fellow human undead, a hand suddenly reached out from the dark alley and pulled her over.
The speed was so fast that Bai Xi didn't even have time to react.
Just as she was about to take action, she looked up and saw a face she absolutely did not want to see.
The man's signature succubus horns emerged from his black hair, and his handsome face held a playful expression as he looked down at her with a half-smile, his eyes filled with an inscrutable emotion, leaving her lost in thought.
