——————————

During his conversation with Kro, Gu Xi learned about the plot and details he was getting involved in.

Kro is a relatively well-known archaeologist and paleontologist, though it’s uncertain whether he will be the protagonist of this world’s future timeline.

Publicly, he accepted employment from the three Human Realms, allowing him to freely conduct archaeological work in the wild.

As for what he excavates, the three Human Realms recover based on the quality of the items.

Some of the fairly decent archaeological finds even attract bidding from the three Human Realms.

This gives Kro a relatively high status near these three Human Realms, with his safety somewhat assured.

Therefore, when Kro goes out for archaeological trips, he usually travels alone.

After all, with many people engaged in archaeology, it’s inevitable that some with ulterior motives will appear.

Moreover, Kro possesses passive mind-reading abilities.

He can always hear people’s machinations, and whenever he hears someone intending to steal the excavated relics, he is always the first to act.

Thus, over time, rumors spread that Kro has a habit of killing teammates.

Whatever the reason, in recent years, Kro has traveled solo, searching for targets alone and living in the wild.

This time, he discovered something unusual during his archaeological activities, prompting him to use a hiring system on hand to ask a mercenary to escort him back to the city.

As for what he discovered, Kro didn’t elaborate.

He merely mentioned finding it led to encountering some curses.

It must be that an Ancient Giant Dragon has set its sights on him.

He hopes the mercenary coming here can protect him, ensuring he reaches the nearest city, Rocovale, as quickly as possible.

”Shall we set off now?”

After hearing Kro’s situation, Gu Xi immediately asked.

”Gu Xi, let me tell you, in our tomb-raiding, no, in our archaeological field, there are many taboos.

Never say the term set off.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi glanced at Kro, ”Are you afraid of ghosts?”

”Not afraid, just wish to avoid unnecessary trouble. Let me tell you, in my many years of archaeology, I’ve encountered all sorts of curses; many arose from accidentally saying the wrong thing.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi couldn’t help but take another look at Kro.

”You’ve encountered curses many times?”

”Huh?”

Kro didn’t understand why Gu Xi would ask this, but he nodded anyway.

At this, Gu Xi’s expression also grew grave.

As Undead Mage, Gu Xi studied how to deal with Ghost Souls from a young age at school.

He naturally knows the taboos of interacting with the Undead.

Gradually, as his strength increased and he gained abilities like those of a Death Lord, he could instantly discern if Undead harbored hostility.

Consequently, Gu Xi became less concerned about some taboos.

In contrast, habits formed from childhood and learning are ingrained in him.

Gu Xi doesn’t easily trigger Ghost God’s taboos.

However, Gu Xi is very aware that among Undead Mages, there is a path focusing on Ghost Soul taboos and curses.

This path is considered the most mysterious among Undead Mages.

Gu Xi heard of it during his school days.

His teachers specifically stated that without a sufficiently strong constitution and appropriate talents, it’s best not to tread this path.

A distinctive trait of Undead Mages on this path during attacks is unintentionally triggering taboos, resulting in enemies suffering more and more curses.

It’s possible for enemies to be killed without direct confrontation.

Considered the best choice for hidden manipulators acting behind the scenes.

Kro’s mention of this matter immediately resonated with Gu Xi.

”Move a little closer.”

”What’s going on?”

Kro looked puzzled.

”I want you to stand in a safe spot, so you don’t accidentally die.”

As Gu Xi spoke, he utilized the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe and Spirit Lamp to observe Kro.

Under Gu Xi’s scrutiny, Kro’s body was cloaked in layers of various traces left by Undead Curses.

A black handprint on the leg, eyeballs stealthily peeking out from the back, black long hair hanging from the top with a tongue.

Observing Kro’s condition, Gu Xi felt somewhat speechless.

”Haven’t you noticed anything wrong?”

”Nope, I feel great.”

Kro shook his head confidently.

Gu Xi felt helpless, ”Fine, as long as you’re happy. Remember not to stray too far from me later. If something happens that can’t be salvaged, it’ll be quite awkward.”

Kro isn’t someone who knows nothing; his passive mind-reading in the past made him aware of many things.

Though unable to read Gu Xi’s mind now, he immediately sensed the undertones in Gu Xi’s words.

Concerned for his own life, Kro promptly moved closer to Gu Xi.

He also kept a lookout around.

”Hey, Gu Xi, did you sense something? I just felt a gaze brushed over me.”

Is someone targeting me, planning to explode my head?

Do you have a way to handle it?”

Faced with such a question, Gu Xi was momentarily speechless, but to assuage Kro’s worries, he released the Extreme Sunlight Carrier.

Of course, once the Extreme Sunlight Carrier appeared, it merely acted as a decoy.

Its primary task is to protect Gu Xi; as for Kro, he’s not within its protection range.

Once the Extreme Sunlight Carrier appeared, Gu Xi began searching the excavation site.

Seeing Gu Xi’s actions, Kro immediately said, ”Don’t look over here; I’m convinced the enemy is lurking in those woods.”

And he must be using skills like Eagle Eye.

Otherwise, there’s no way he could see me from such a distance.

You won’t find the ene... Don’t touch that, it’s a corpse from humans of the ancient era.

Quite rare, humans from that era didn’t have high status, while Elves and Dwarves were under Dragons’ command, what are you doing?”

Kro saw Gu Xi pulling out a piece of bone from the ground.

This bone had already fossilized.

However, Gu Xi paid no heed to these matters; upon retrieving the piece of bone, he tossed it into the air and, before Kro could say anything, pointed at him.

The White Bone Obelisk activates.

Kro immediately felt a warm sensation, as if the sun specifically shone on him.

His usually cold limbs became warm, and the cold wind that constantly blew on the back of his neck dissipated.

He even detected the fragrance of the soil.

This feeling left Kro incredibly comfortable, causing him to look at Gu Xi with confusion.

”What did you do to me?”
