Chapter 111: Lich King Pantos

Poison-exploding zombies that can self-detonate are definitely not comparable to ordinary undead monsters.

The key is that they are all A-Grade in rank, and their attributes are also extremely formidable.

The next moment, these poison-exploding zombies seemed to have received a unified command, beginning to approach Zhou Chu rapidly, while the encirclement also shrank at high speed.

Zhou Chu felt that the movement and reactions of these zombies were relatively uniform; they should be under some kind of control, not looking like the state of ordinary wild, free-roaming ones.

Because these zombies were all flickering with a strange red light, it was completely a rhythm of wanting to blow Zhou Chu to death right from the start.

Since these zombies would self-detonate, although Zhou Chu had the blessing of God-level servants and a Divine Soul Shield, he did not want to wait to be blown up.

He had to break out of this encirclement as soon as possible.

Just as the encirclement was less than two meters away from Zhou Chu, the bodies of this innermost circle of zombies instantly expanded.

Then, as if time bombs had been installed inside their bodies, these zombies burst open one after another, their dismembered bodies and yellow-green poisonous gas spreading out.

And those poison-exploding zombies behind seemed even more like they had been injected with stimulants, constantly rushing toward the center while detonating their own bodies in a suicidal explosion.

In just an instant, a large group of poison-exploding zombies all turned into thick green liquid; a large patch of ground looked more like a foul-smelling swamp, with green bubbles constantly churning and occasionally making popping sounds.

The poisonous mist produced after the self-detonation clearly carried strong corrosiveness; once any living creature was contaminated, it would immediately turn into a pile of white bones.

At the critical moment, Zhou Chu used Void Shuttle to hide himself along with Xina and Xiduo in the void, only then avoiding such a massive explosion.

From beginning to end, Zhou Chu did not initiate an attack, yet this large patch of zombies had all self-detonated and died.

Not normal!

Too abnormal!

Those capable of launching a self-detonation at the same time are definitely driven and influenced by external forces.

Through the void, Zhou Chu took a look at this boundless graveyard, feeling more and more that it exuded an indescribable strangeness.

Under Death Perception, Zhou Chu could still clearly feel that there was a restless death aura surging beneath this area.

Obviously, there must be some even more terrifying existences lurking beneath this graveyard, waiting for an opportunity to act.

This guy hiding in the dark and controlling these undead creatures wanted to give Zhou Chu, who had just entered the Copy, a show of force.

Zhou Chu very much wanted to see who this guy actually was.

Therefore, Zhou Chu flew rapidly toward the depths of the graveyard via Void Shuttle.

Not long after, a decaying manor finally appeared in a place shrouded by a black curtain.

And around the manor, it was still surrounded by numerous large and small mausoleums.

In the deepest part of the manor, however, sat a huge mausoleum.

That huge mausoleum exuded a chilling, gloomy aura, as if it were a gathering place for dark power.

The walls of the mausoleum were covered with dark green vines; those vines seemed to have a life of their own, twisting from time to time, occasionally drilling deep into the soil to drag rotting corpses out of the ground, then pulling them in through an opening at the top of the mausoleum.

And on the roof ridges around the top of the mausoleum crouched gargoyles carved from stone.

Those gargoyles all had ferocious expressions, their eyes flickering with a ghostly green light, as if peering at everything in the darkness.

"This is the Kaisitengde Da Lingmu, the residence of Lich King Pantos, and also his laboratory for researching death spells!"

Beside him, Xina looked at the mausoleum before her, a trace of surprise revealing itself in her eyes.

"Unexpectedly, Pantos is still alive, and he even moved his entire experimental field here..." Xiduo also could not help but interject.

Lich King Pantos?

This name had already exceeded the scope of the knowledge Zhou Chu had learned so far.

However, since he could be called a King, he was definitely a King-level figure among the Calamity Forces.

That is to say, Pantos was an existence even more powerful than his three God-level servants, and at the same time, his status in the Abyss was also higher.

Zhou Chu never expected that this hidden Copy was actually the habitat and experimental field of a King-level figure in the Calamity Forces.

Moreover, there was actually death spell research being conducted here day and night.

"Is this Lich King Pantos very strong?" Zhou Chu could not help but ask.

Xina nodded, saying with a solemn expression: "Lich King Pantos is one of the Abyss Ten Great Evil Demons, the spell consultant for the Evil God Mofideer, and also the head of all liches."

"Almost the vast majority of Calamity Heroes were transformed by his powerful death spells."

"As long as the Evil God Mofideer agrees, Pantos can make all Calamity Heroes obey his orders!"

Xiduo suddenly chuckled at this time and said: "It's just a pity, Pantos is not a competent leader, just a madman who spends his days obsessed with studying Death Secret Art!"

"Otherwise, with his spell cultivation, he would definitely have influenced the battle situation of the Calamity Invasion. He also wouldn't have been demoted by the Evil God Mofideer to this Yiwang Zhidi."

When Zhou Chu heard the two words "Evil God," a ray of light burst forth in his eyes.

Could it be that there really are gods in this world?

"Is the Evil God a true god?" Holding this doubt, Zhou Chu continued to ask.

Xiduo smiled with pursed lips: "No, Master, it is a title Mofideer gave himself; to be precise, he only counts as a demigod."

"If he wants to become a true god, he must refine a godhead."

Zhou Chu could not help but raise his eyebrows and say: "That is to say, there are true gods in this world!"

Xiduo nodded: "Any world will have the existence of gods. Because this world was created by gods. However, one must trace it back to the ancient times."

"Regarding knowledge about gods, I only know a little bit. If you want to understand it on a deeper level, you will need to explore it yourself, Master."

"After all, many mysteries regarding gods are mostly hidden in every ancient and mysterious corner of this world, or sealed in those ancient books long forgotten by time."

Zhou Chu nodded slightly, his understanding of this world seeming to increase by a few points in his heart.

He had originally thought that if there were no God-level Soul Professionals in this world, there would be no existence of gods.

Zhou Chu had considered himself to have obtained a God-level talent and would be the only god existing in this world.

But the facts were not so.

Any world will have legends about gods.

And these also involve the existence of so-called Evil Gods, demigods, and even true gods.

This made him feel all the more that the world he found himself in was vast and mysterious, with countless unknowns waiting for him to uncover.

However, right now, there was a huge hidden danger that Zhou Chu needed to deal with.

That was the Lich King Pantos hiding within the tomb.

Various previous signs indicated that those zombies were definitely caused by the control of this Lich King.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Pantos had already discovered his existence.

Just as Zhou Chu was lost in his thoughts, the tightly closed gate of the tomb suddenly swung open with a boom, and intense death energy surged out from within.

Immediately following that, a sharp and piercing voice came from within.

"How could a mere trick of slipping into the void escape this King's eyes? Come out obediently!"
