Chapter 383: Chapter 340: War of the Undead!

The great ship had already departed from the coast, leaving only one person behind—

Wu Xiaode.

As he watched the giant ship gradually sail away, he couldn’t help but sigh.

He had hoped to complete the classical Death Trial and thereby gain more power from the Death Law.

But the Ghost Queen seemed to be in a hurry.

So he had no choice but to begrudgingly accept these items and quickly complete the Level 40 trial.

He put away the box filled with treasures and looked towards the Book of the Dead.

A line of ice crystal lettering appeared one by one:

"You have completed the Level 40 Death Trial."

"The Rotten Fishmen have granted you some precious treasures and the rare power of the Death Law."

"Now you can choose your method of upgrade."

"One, materialize a new Death Skill with this rare Death Law;"

"Two, infuse the rare Death Law given by the Rotten Fishmen into your existing Death Skill, allowing it to evolve."

"Choose the second option," Wu Xiaode said without hesitation.

All the ice crystal lettering disappeared.

A new prompt rune emerged:

"Available Death Skills:"

"One, Silent Demon Fog Skill: Shadow Followers (Basic);"

"Two, Eternal Fall Demon Hand."

"Choose the first one," Wu Xiaode said directly.

——Of course, he would choose the first one. He had gone through all this trouble just to upgrade his Shadow Followers.

Suddenly, Wu Xiaode turned his gaze towards the Sea of Death.

He saw strands of pale light emerging from the vast and boundless sea, soaring into the sky and then diving down, entering directly into the Book of the Dead.

The Book of the Dead automatically flipped to the page of the Wall of Sighs.

The pale light streams entered the icon of "Shadow Followers," causing the icon to emit a different, soft glow.

——This was the rare power of the Death Law given by the Rotten Fishmen deep in the Sea of Death.

The Rotten Fishmen were a death race that bullied the weak and feared the strong.

They needed to provide various services for the truly terrifying creatures deep in the Sea of Death, in exchange for those powerhouses’ blessings to dive into the bottom of the Sea of Death and gather a valuable mineral to maintain their form and strength.

So, by revealing his identity as a Bright Ghost and having two Demon Gods stand behind him, he immediately obtained the Death Law’s power from them.

Wu Xiaode shook his head.

He had no time to entangle with them anymore; he needed to upgrade immediately.

On the Book of the Dead, black ripples started to emerge around the icon of "Shadow Followers."

A line of ice crystal lettering immediately appeared on the page:

"Congratulations."

"Your soul power value has increased to: 41/41."

"Your Silent Demon Fog Skill: ’Shadow Followers’ has been upgraded to sub-level, with the following effects:"

"Shadow Followers (sub-level)."

"Your strength will be shared with your Shadow Followers, and each time you obtain a Shadow Follower, you may choose one ability from your Shadow Followers to use (current follower limit: 2)."

"Also, the concealment ability of the Silent Demon Fog has also received a significant enhancement."

"——A hidden skill of the Death Lord level."

He gained an additional follower.

He could use the abilities of the follower.

The concealment ability of the Demon Fog also improved.

——This power from the Sea of Death is really something!

Wu Xiaode looked out at the great sea.

The Sea of Death was endless, with countless powerful races and terrifying beings within it.

Just having received a gift from one of the races, he managed to enhance his Death Skill to such an extent!

——Maybe he should come again next time?

He hid this thought in his heart and turned to another page of the Book of the Dead.

The rescue skill of the Ghost Queen still remained on this page.

Wu Xiaode put his hand on the page and said:

"I am a Bright Ghost, Your Majesty the Queen, if you require my service, please summon me over."

He waited for a moment.

Runes of space started to appear around the Book of the Dead.

Whoosh——

The Teleportation Array activated!

In an instant, Wu Xiaode traversed countless worlds and gently landed atop a watchtower in a castle.

The Ghost Queen, dressed in war armor and holding a Magic Wand, stood nearby.

"Welcome, Lord Bright Ghost," she said with a smile.

From the vast plain outside the castle, a continuous rumble could be heard.

——It was the sound of many Death Monsters pushing siege engines, slowly advancing towards the castle, bombarding it with cannon fire along the way.

"Someone dares to attack your realm?" Wu Xiaode asked in surprise.

As a High-level Lord of the Undead, an existence on the same level as a bone dragon, someone dared to invade her realm!

Wu Xiaode surmised that he was not in a position to confront her.

Only if "The End" was fully evolved would he have a glimmer of hope.

"My daughter has betrayed me, helping the bone dragon to launch a surprise attack on me. Now a large part of my realm has fallen," the Ghost Queen said.

She raised one hand for Wu Xiaode to see.

The hand was covered with ice frost that seemed alive and couldn’t be shaken off, continuously infiltrating the gaps of the wound.

So that was it.

"This is the Ice Frost of the bone dragon," Wu Xiaode said suddenly enlightened.

——It made sense now if she had been ambushed by an enemy of equal strength.

"Yes, this is the bone dragon’s ultimate sealing frost. No one but it can undo this," the Ghost Queen said.

"Where is the bone dragon?" Wu Xiaode inquired.

A trace of concern flashed in the Ghost Queen’s eyes:

"It was hit by one of my spells and has gone back to recover—it was a spell I released hastily, not very strong, so it will recover soon."

"Is that so? It will recover quickly, whereas the surprise attack you suffered can only be undone by the bone dragon?" Wu Xiaode repeated.

"Yes," the Ghost Queen replied, not understanding why she had to answer again.

With a thought, Wu Xiaode’s Book of the Dead automatically flipped to the page of the bone dog.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to add flowers to the brocade, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

He did not ask for much; considering the Ghost Queen had once assisted him during the Past Epoch, he would definitely lend a hand this time.

"I’ll help,"

Wu Xiaode declared.

Boom——

A light sound.

The bone dog, shrouded in eerie ice frost, landed in front of Wu Xiaode.

Almost immediately, it turned around, its eyes intently fixed on the Ghost Queen’s arm.

It paused for a moment.

The tail of the bone dog perked up.

It was excited!

"How about it? Got a solution?" Wu Xiaode asked.

—— Speak of bone dragons, we have one right here!

The bone dog said, "This is an extremely pure Frost Power, before the Eye Demons helped me evolve, I would have had no way to deal with it, but now——"

It opened its mouth and exhaled a puff of frost mist, materializing into a rectangular frame in the air.

The bone dog raised its paws and quickly tapped on the Void.

Instantly, a line of text appeared within the frame:

"As a bone dragon, how do I collect the ultimate seal’s Frost Cold from other bone dragons? Online and in a hurry."

The bone dog abruptly tapped on the Void.

The rectangular frost frame immediately expanded, revealing lines of garbled text.

These characters were completely foreign to Wu Xiaode.

The Ghost Queen seemed not to recognize them either.

"Why is it garbled?" Wu Xiaode asked.

The bone dog replied seriously:

"This is the secret rune script of our bone dragon race, protected by copyright; only paying can one view it—any outsider trying to plagiarize, to make money, would turn into a dog in their next life."

"So, do you need to pay as well?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Of course, this question will cost me ten million soul power," said the bone dog.

"I’ll pay," offered the Ghost Queen immediately.

—— If she could remove the magic from the bone dragon’s sneak attack, she’d have a chance to recover her strength.

This was the only hope!

"Please transfer the soul power to me so I can view this secret technique," said the bone dog.

The Ghost Queen extended her slender, fair fingers, gently tapping the top of the bone dog’s head.

"Twenty million soul power? Brother Wu, she’s given too much," said the bone dog, somewhat surprised, quickly turning to Wu Xiaode.

"Your Majesty, you might have given too much," Wu Xiaode said, spreading his hands.

The Ghost Queen smiled softly and said:

"For beings like us, over Level Three Hundred, we have an abundance of soul power in store. Even if it were to sustain your cultivation for a lifetime, it would be enough; don’t mind it."

The man and the dog fell into silence at once.

To sustain our cultivation for a lifetime?

Is this offering to take care of us?

But getting an extra ten million soul power was enough to prove Her Majesty’s sincerity.

"How about we split it evenly?" Wu Xiaode communicated telepathically.

"Brother Wu, you’re really decent," replied the bone dog through telepathy.

The man and the dog reached a consensus and quickly divided the account.

The bone dog then infused the soul power to begin deciphering the cipher.

Boom——

Across the plains, the bone dragon’s army continued to advance.

The ghosts attempting to block their path often couldn’t withstand for long before being decimated by the magic’s bombardment.

"Your Majesty, where are your troops?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"They’ve all died in battle—if I weren’t so desperate, I wouldn’t have troubled you to come," the Ghost Queen replied.

Wu Xiaode nodded, looking towards the bone dog.

The bone dog looked back at him and said, "I’ve found a method, but it requires time."

"Proceed with your method," Wu Xiaode said.

"Good."

The bone dog moved to the Ghost Queen’s side, beginning to recite the Frost Cold Spell as it faced her frost-covered arm.

Wu Xiaode glanced at them and suddenly snapped his fingers.

The Silent Demon Fog rolled in, veiling the queen and the dog from sight, making them invisible to anyone.

—— The Ghost Queen’s healing must not be discovered!

Within the fog, the voice of the Ghost Queen came through:

"Little Wu, I’ve begun healing. Please help watch over the battlefield."

"Sure thing," Wu Xiaode replied.

He looked towards the battlefield.

—— I must buy some time, otherwise the bone dragon’s forces will soon reach the castle.

"Astalot."

Wu Xiaode called softly.

Countless bronze arms pieced together into a One-eyed Giant, slowly coming to life.

Wu Xiaode released the Silent Demon Fog over it, instructing:

"—— Go and wreak havoc on the battlefield."

"Yes, master."

The One-eyed Giant disappeared into the Void, leaping towards the battlefield.

Soon enough.

Many inexplicable disturbances arose on the battlefield.

A squad of Ice Frost skeleton soldiers attacking the Ghost Clan’s bunkers was suddenly sent flying into the air by an invisible force, their bones shattered completely.

The Ice Frost Magic Crystal Cannon, drawn by fifteen warhorses, was crushed to dust by an invisible force.

The charging Cold Ice Iron Cavalry was flattened into meat patties.

In just a few moments.

The tide of the battle had changed!

A furious roar erupted from the rear of the battlefield:

"This is the great Death Lord, Fafnir’s personal command in a national war, who dares to create a disturbance!"

Wu Xiaode remained composed and released the Silent Demon Fog to enshroud himself as well.

—— Joking, why let you know who I am?

To make it convenient for you to take revenge?

"Rester," he called softly.

A series of "clack clack" noises emerged from the nothingness, and a bronze Demon God was assembled, speaking up:

"What are your orders, master?"

"Stay quiet, go around to the back of those armies, catch them unawares," Wu Xiaode ordered.

"Yes."

The Void shifted.

Something colossal took off with the roaring wind.
