Any Magician who spent some time at the Ancient Capital would know that the skeletons were scarier than the zombies.

Their bones were hard as iron and their strength was enough to tear a living human to pieces. Most terrifyingly, they were a lot harder to kill than zombies. It appeared that shattering them was not effective either, as they would soon assemble their bodies again using any bone for the same joint they could find on the ground.

Such white skeletons were exactly the creatures that Wang Mang's squad had encountered. They had even blasted the skulls off the skeletons off for more than one time, yet these undead simply picked up someone else's head and screwed it onto their body and moved toward them again.

”Damn it, we shouldn't have stepped out of that zone. The army has already gone back to the walls, while we who came to escort them are trapped here!” cursed a Magician with a caved-in nose.

”Hold on, it's almost daytime, we'll be able to head back soon,” said Wang Mang.

”When the day comes, I'll go home straight away, take a nice little ht shower, and sleep for two days straight!”

”Where's Xiao Ding, where did he go… asshole, I told you all to look after him!” cursed Wang Mang instantly.

Wang Mang looked over the walls of skeletons and discovered a corpse whose limbs, head and body were separated. The corpse was being trampled continuously by the skeletons, even his head was kicked back and forth between their feet!

The head was Xiao Ding's; Wang Mang's face fell incredibly white after seeing it.

He already promised his wife that he would take good care of her brother, yet he had only dropped his guard down for a moment, and her brother had ended up like that. His wife would faint instantly when she saw him like this.

”Li Cong is also… damn it, why is it still not daytime yet?! Shouldn't these undead be going back to their tombs already? I'm going to dig their graves out!” snapped the man with the caved-in nose furiously.

”The day...the day...” A Magician whose hair was dyed black and brown suddenly glanced into the east with a blank face, as if he had entirely lost his soul.

”Clench your teeth and hold on for a little longer. The day has come, it's already daytime! Don't get crushed by the door when you've already made it to the gates of Hell!” yelled Wang Mang.

They could not give up like this, otherwise the entire squad would be wiped out. It would only take a matter of seconds for the skeletons to kill them all!

”Asshole, what are you still waiting for? Quickly cast a Light Protection to help the others even if it means sucking your brain juice dry, do you want to die here?” yelled the man with the caved-in nose.

The Magician with black-brown hair pointed to the east...

”Cap...captain...” said the man with black-brown hair in a trembling voice.

”Shut up you two!”

”The day… it's already bright,” the man pointed to the sky at the faint light, where they could also see the light drizzle.

”What did you say!” both Wang Mang and the man with caved-in nose yelled in disbelief.

A rusted sword suddenly swept past, separating the black-brown-haired man's head from his body. The head made a few spins in the air before falling to the muddy ground.

The mud on the ground dyed his hair again, yet his face did not show any reaction to the sudden death. It was still filled with disbelief.

He could not believe that the undead were still around when sunlight had already come.

”It's...it's really daytime,” Wang Mang stood there like an empty shell.
