Chapter 467 The Return of the Skeleton Master (1/2)

Dumby went back to the Land of 1,000 Streams. The subordinates who stood behind it were shivering in fear, as they didn't dare to interrupt their boss, who was still deep in thought. In the past, anyone who had dared to do so was buried in the ground.

Dumby looked around and started roll call. ”Broken Jade Devil Spirit, Six-tailed Sky Fox Skeleton, Stone Mountain Elephant Skeleton…” He called out a total of eighteen monsters' names. ”...All of you, come forward.”

All eighteen monsters came out. The ghouls, who had once acted brutally, seemed extremely anxious at that moment. It was as if they were preparing to accept the judgment of fate.

Dumby raised its right hand. ”Since I have to go back, there's no point in leaving the ghouls here...” It clenched its fist.

It was as if there was a slight explosion in the air. Bang.

The sound was very soft, as if a pouting little boy had gently opened his mouth. At the same time, countless ghouls who were ten thousand miles from the Land of 1,000 Streams died. A massive number of Flames of the Undead flew up to the sky and converged into several white streams that seeped into Dumby's skull from all directions.

Rumble—

Dumby's eye sockets were almost filled up entirely by the white Flames of the Undead. Flames spilled over the edges of its eyes.

The Flame of the Undead was the medium of Soul Power, and it was also the medium that could be absorbed best by Ghoul-type monsters. Dumby's whole body was trembling; its skeleton rattled as it quivered.

Finally, the wild Soul Power calmed down. Dumby also regained its composure. However, the Flame of the Undead in its eyes seemed to be much richer. The aura around it had become even more unfathomable.

The eighteen ghouls were relieved that they were able to avoid death. They looked at each other with relief.

…

The Desolate Labyrinth.

Lusaka's development of the Desolate Labyrinth was left abandoned after the Cataclysm.

No one knew if the monster whose level was far beyond the King tier would suddenly return for more destruction. However, the facilities that were built in the past hadn't been demolished yet. Besides, there had always been an ongoing investigation of the effects of the Desolate Labyrinth on its external environment. At the same time, the nearby plants and monsters of the other world were collected and caught in a controlled manner, then sent back to the Huaxia region.

This was presently the only permanent Spatial Rift that could be found in the Huaxia region. Hence, it was extremely valuable and wouldn't be given up easily, despite being fully aware of the underlying danger.

”Report to commander, this is scout 1156. There is a monster coming from the North region, there is a monster coming from the North region! The level of danger...” said the scout while looking at the frightened familiar beside him. He took a deep breath. ”Extreme danger level!”

Without any further delays, the commander immediately sent out familiars and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft from the base to investigate the situation from a high altitude.

A group of ghoul monsters appeared on the horizon at the end of the barren terrain. Although most of the ghouls had never encountered any monsters before, their ferocious appearance was enough to convey a message that they weren't to be messed with.

The pictures of these ghouls were captured and submitted to every single level of management. Finally, there was a response when it reached one of the levels. ”Stop the alert, recover to second level surveillance.”

Second level surveillance was merely normal surveillance. Apart from the familiars in the military, all the familiars within a visible range would be monitored normally.

Dumby arrived at the front of the labyrinth. The door had long been opened, as a soldier had received orders to do so.

The only entrance into the Desolate Labyrinth was installed with a massive steel gate and fake vines on its outer walls. Usually, people traveled in and out of the base through the small gate; the big gate was hardly ever opened.

However, they had received the order to open the big gate that morning. The soldier who was responsible for opening the big gate and Dumby were staring at each other.
