Leaving the treasure cave, Gu Xi dragged Kru onto the Holy Silver Evil Coffin and decisively headed outward.
With the White Bone Obelisk's temporary suppression, the Evil Aura on Kru's body was no longer as frenzied as before.
Gu Xi's expression was grave. "We probably can't stay here any longer. Let's find somewhere else—the farther from here, the better—and I'll deal with the Evil Aura on you.
"After that, it'll be up to you."
Kru had also snapped out of that overheated state. Even the scenes in the sky looked different to him now.
But Kru said, "It's fine. I won't die.
"I encountered something like this once before, and I ended up running for three whole years.
"In the end, I gained the passive ability Mind Reading.
"This time is probably the same. Don't worry, Gu. I'll be fine."
Gu Xi glanced at the final prompt of the Main Quest before calmly saying, "You're lucky. If I didn't still have to protect you for another day and a half, I would have left long ago.
"The Evil Aura on you is so heavy that even ghosts don't want to come near.
"Believe it or not, if I removed the suppression on your Evil Aura and threw you down there, you'd be dead for sure."
After saying that, Gu Xi rolled his eyes at Kru.
Who do you think you are? In your current condition, if that Evil Aura isn't removed, surviving three hours would already be a miracle, let alone three years.
Still, considering how well Gu Xi and Kru had worked together over the past three months, Gu Xi did not abandon him. Instead, he controlled the Holy Silver Evil Coffin and swiftly moved outward.
This time, Gu Xi's destination was the largest human city nearby.
