The Zombie Boss 063 and his subordinates made a full effort, prying up a large section of ground along the line Gu Xi had drawn.

While prying up the ground, they almost pushed such a large piece of stone into the pool.

Luckily, the Zombie Boss reacted quickly and had his men hold everything steady.

With the strength of the zombies, they forcefully dragged the stone and lifted this stone, about ten meters in diameter.

As they dragged the stone to the shore, other zombies also surged forward. Some lifted, some pushed; in any case, the over fifty zombies easily dragged this huge stone, quickly approaching the newly released Steel City Gate.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi had also come back after a lap around the area.

Gu Xi found that there were still some good things in the nearby forest.

Under the influence of such a thick Aura of Death, even the wild grass nearby was somewhat affected, turning into herbs with an aura of death.

After all, anything that can survive in such a place is no simple existence.

Gu Xi summoned two Skeleton squads to collect herbs and then looked back at the Zombie Corps.

At this time, the Ghost Squad left to clean up the battlefield also rushed over.

This time, they had thoroughly cleared the battlefield, not only collecting all those skulls but also digging away a layer of the ground.

Upon arrival, Gu Xi noticed that these ghosts had clearly become much more solid, though their level hadn’t risen, the increasing Aura of Death from their clones had allowed them to make significant progress.

Now these Ghost Squads were no longer just tools to clean the battlefield and scare people before a battle.

With their current state, if sent out to fight, they should have a certain level of combat power, not like earlier when they could be besieged and killed in a few skirmishes.

Once the Ghost Squad arrived, Gu Xi pointed them towards the nearby woods and they automatically started collecting everything collectible.

It wasn’t until the Zombie Corps transported the stone and long sword back to Yalidu City that their collection stopped.

After confirming there was nothing else that could be taken from the area, Gu Xi retracted the Steel City Gate, jumped onto the Evil Coffin, and headed back the way he came.

Now that he had obtained the task items, Gu Xi was naturally most concerned about completing the task.

If the valley hadn’t been right in front of him just now, he would’ve left as soon as he received the Skull Flower.

Now that there’s nothing else in the valley, Gu Xi naturally won’t linger.

He put away the gate and patted the Evil Coffin, strongly urging it to move at the fastest speed possible.

The Evil Coffin’s black mist sparked with excitement.

Such a request, it had never heard in its lifetime.

The Evil Coffin started instantly, then its speed increased to the maximum, so fast that Gu Xi was directly thrown out of the Evil Coffin.

If not for the Demon’s Right Hand holding the iron chain on the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi would have been tossed to the ground right then and there.

Even so, Gu Xi’s current situation wasn’t great, like a kite being flown by the Evil Coffin, he was dragged about three meters behind it.

Finally, Gu Xi could only rely on his own effort, first lying on top of the box holding the Medical Tent, before attempting to climb to the Evil Coffin from the back.

As for the rapidly retreating scenery outside, Gu Xi currently had no mind to look at it.

In Gu Xi’s eyes, as long as he didn’t look at the scenery, he could pretend the Evil Coffin wasn’t moving.

The Demon’s Right Hand helped him grasp the Evil Coffin tightly, ensuring he wouldn’t be thrown off. This made things much simpler. He just needed to climb back onto the Evil Coffin before anyone saw him looking so disheveled.

But Gu Xi found he was thinking too simply.

The Evil Coffin itself was metal; even with an iron chain, standing on it was not necessarily stable for Gu Xi.

With the high speed, it was still somewhat better for Gu Xi to sit on the box holding the Medical Tent. With the Demon’s Right Hand, he wouldn’t be thrown out.

However, wanting to climb onto the Evil Coffin, let alone anything else, even the wind would almost blow Gu Xi away.

After several attempts without being able to climb onto the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi simply gave up on crawling upwards. As long as the Demon’s Right Hand could hold on and prevent him from being tossed out, it didn’t matter where he stayed.

But just as Gu Xi was preparing to muddle through like this, the Evil Coffin suddenly drifted, and Gu Xi, who wasn’t sitting steadily, almost got thrown again.

Fortunately, Gu Xi now knew the situation. Besides the Demon’s Right Hand, he also firmly gripped the box, so he was not thrown out.

However, the subsequent journey wasn’t very pleasant for Gu Xi.

The Evil Coffin occasionally swung its tail or directly leaped over wider ditches. Anyway, Gu Xi’s ride was quite uncomfortable.

But the Evil Coffin showed no intention of stopping, and instead it sped up even more.

An hour and a half later, the Evil Coffin had covered the distance that previously took several hours in a mere fraction of the time.

Upon stopping in the mountainous forest area not far from the Black-robed Skeleton, Gu Xi was quick to climb down from the wooden box, lying motionless on the ground, unable to even vomit anything out.

Gu Xi had made up his mind that next time he couldn’t let the Evil Coffin go crazy like this.

Continued like this, and his life might be at stake.

After lying on the ground for about ten minutes, Gu Xi finally steadied himself, supporting himself to stand up and shakily walk to the Evil Coffin.

After glancing at the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi gritted his teeth and climbed onto it again at one go.

Once seated, Gu Xi even tugged the iron chain and then patted the Evil Coffin.

”Let’s go, let’s move forward.”

This time, the Evil Coffin didn’t reach the highest speed again but moved forward at its usual pace, around one hundred kilometers per hour, which was nothing compared to the prior sprint.

Gu Xi handled it with ease.

He even had the leisure to observe the surrounding situation.

In fact, this feeling was quite agreeable, but Gu Xi dared not voice it anymore.

He was now afraid; in his eyes, the Evil Coffin was a mad one.

Normally it behaved, but once something happened, it couldn’t be controlled.

Keeping things peaceful was better.

A few minutes later, Gu Xi safely arrived at the spot where the Black-robed Skeleton was buried.

At this moment, Gu Xi still remembered the words of the Black-robed Skeleton.

To summon him, he had to use the Soul Summoning Skill.

So, jumping off the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi patted it and somewhat resentfully said, ”Had I known, I’d have come straight here. It’s not embarrassing if I haven’t called anyone out yet.”

With a bit of complaining, Gu Xi raised the Cold Wind Staff and cast a Soul Summoning Skill.

Like the first time summoning the Black-robed Skeleton, this burial ground shook in chaos once again, and a gigantic arm reached out from beneath, guarding the exotic skull as it climbed up from the ground.
