Chapter 137: It is loyal to the Light

Regarding the situation of the Undead Empire, Nai Ge Li Si knows it best. The Palace of Rest has already turned into this sorry state; where could there still be an Undead Empire? Where did this "Gold Tooth Gulu" pop out from?

"The naming style is quite in the vein of the Undead Empire. Who is your king?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"Our King, Firm Bone Luoke, Lord of Mourning, King of the Undead! Tremble at the sound of his name, you foolish mortals!" With only a head remaining, Gold Tooth Gulu gnashed and roared there.

Everyone looked at Miss Lisha: "This style doesn't feel right. This style is more like the Church of Light."

Miss Lisha nodded: "I used to have this manner."

"What should we do?" someone asked.

"Treat it first. We'll talk after it's healed," Nai Ge Li Si said.

Holy Light brushed over Gold Tooth's skull, and a wisp of black smoke rose. Layers of bone flakes peeled off Gold Tooth Gulu's skeleton. Looking closer, the slow corrosion had also disappeared; clearly, the bacteria causing the bone corrosion were gone.

"Ho... Holy Light?" Gold Tooth Gulu was shocked.

Beneath the meadow were buried many corpses of sand bandits. Ang casually picked one that had turned into white bone, removed the head, and mounted Gold Tooth's skull onto it.

The Golden Skeleton possessed a Soul Heart. This Gold Tooth's soul strength was stronger than everyone else's, except for Ang and Alan Bulu Si Ke.

After obtaining a body and regaining the ability to move, it flexed a few times, then suddenly exerted force. A raging soul fire surged from its body, scorching the bones.

This skeleton was dry bone buried in the ground that had not been tempered. After the Golden Skeleton did this, it rapidly transformed into gray bone. Then, a Death Scythe slowly emerged from its hand: "Foolish mortals..."

A figure slammed into it at high speed, nearly knocking it apart, sending it tumbling away with a clatter.

The high-speed figure pursued relentlessly, its hands wearing two hoe-heads, digging rapidly and incessantly into Gold Tooth's body, sending bone chips flying from the skeleton it had just refined.

Clang! With a crisp sound, one of the hoes got stuck in Gold Tooth's bone.

Gold Tooth kicked the Little Jiangshi, and the Death Scythe swung down.

Clang! The Death Scythe got stuck on the Little Jiangshi's Soul Armor and failed to pierce through.

Gold Tooth pulled the Death Scythe with confusion, then realized something: "Soul Armor?"

Borrowing the force of that pull, the Little Jiangshi slammed into Gold Tooth, the hoe in its hand digging into the opponent's body again, just like when it usually dug big pits.

Gold Tooth was dug into a sorry state. Its Death Scythe was a long-handled weapon meant for wide swings, while the Little Jiangshi's hoes were like daggers for close-quarters combat; once closed in, it was very passive.

It glared, the fire in its eye sockets flaring—Soul Shock.

This was the most practical move for a high-level undead to use against a low-level one. If the gap was too large, it could even directly explode the opponent's soul. Because of this soul suppression, low-level undead found it very difficult to defeat higher-level ones.

However, Gold Tooth's Soul Shock felt like it had hit a wall. It had struck a very weak soul, expecting that soul to explode on the spot, but upon impact, it discovered that the soul was like a brick protruding from a wall, with a behemoth behind it shielding it.

Gold Tooth was instead left dizzy and dazed, and was dug into again by the Little Jiangshi. Crack, a rib could not bear the weight and snapped.

Furious, Gold Tooth threw down the Death Scythe and punched the Little Jiangshi's ribs.

The Little Jiangshi slightly tucked its chest and actually took the punch head-on, the hoe in its right hand chiseling into Gold Tooth's cheek.

Nai Ge Li Si and Alan Bulu Si Ke's eyes lit up: "Eh, that force-deflection was used well. Who taught it?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

The Little Angel patted its chest without looking back and let out a cry.

Ding! The hoe collided with Gold Tooth's cheek, sparking a bit of fire. Gold Tooth's cheek only had a small white mark, unlike its body which had been dug into fragments.

"The gap is still too big. If this Gold Tooth wasn't just a head left, it would be hard for the Little Jiangshi to gain the advantage," Nai Ge Li Si said.

Fei Lin turned back, saying with a strange expression: "Uh, Lord Nai Ge, this is already incredible, right? The Little Jiangshi is only at the Tough Skin Jiangshi level, yet it's suppressing a Golden Skeleton, and even the Death Scythe can't cut it."

"Purely because the equipment is good. Without the Soul Armor, look; without Ang shielding it, look again; without soaking in the Liquid of Death Breath, look again. Alright, stop playing, catch it and ask," Nai Ge Li Si said.

"I'll do it, I'll do it. Ancestor, you rest." Alan Bulu Si Ke volunteered. This Golden Skeleton claimed to be one of Firm Bone Luoke's men, and Firm Bone Luoke was dead, so it meant it had no backing. It was just right to use it to show off, so Nai Ge Li Si wouldn't mock it all day.

It rushed up and unleashed a barrage of magic, blasting Gold Tooth's body into pieces, leaving only a head again.

It pulled out the soul, crushed it, and searched the soul. Because it was a Golden Skeleton, only Ang had the ability to search its soul. After some operations, Ang obtained some important memories: "It is loyal to the Light."

"Oh, as expected." Nai Ge Li Si showed an "as expected" expression.

Firm Bone Luoke's skeleton was still in Ang's hands. These people couldn't be Luoke's subjects. The only possibility was that they were fakes, and fakes from a hostile force.

The true survivors of the Undead Empire wouldn't dare to use Luoke's name, because of their eternal awe.

"Are these undead pathogens also created by the Church of Light? Is the City of the Dark Side that important? Is it worth sending one golden skeleton and twelve silver skeletons to spread the pathogen?" Negris asked in surprise.

"No, they were infecting, just by the way," Ang said.

Ang recounted some of the memories he had searched, leaving everyone with a headache. Ang's narrative ability was too weak, and his words came out one by one. They had to keep asking questions to fully understand what he meant.

On the contrary, his communication with the Little Angel and the Little Jiangshi was very smooth; a few cries could express a lot of meaning. It was truly strange.

According to the memories Ang searched, these undead were loyal to the Church of Light and had been fighting in the Land of Sinking. For some reason, they suddenly became infected with this bacteria that could rot the undead body.

Originally, it wasn't a big problem; this bacteria could be purified with Holy Light. But the Bai Yin Knight Order had a sudden whim, preparing to use it to break the Dark Side City. Most of the people in that city were undead; if they were infected with this bacteria, the Dark Side City would collapse.

"Land of Sinking? Eh, I remember Anthony mentioned three major dioceses, and one of them is the Land of Sinking Diocese. Let's find him and ask."

Soon, Ang found Anthony through soul connection. After listening to Ang's description, Anthony said hesitantly: "My lord, do you still remember the God-Knight Badge in your hand, and the highest mobilization order flashing on it?" ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
