After leaving the Burial Ground, Gu Xi sat cross-legged on the Evil Coffin, his Cold Wind Staff stuck directly into an iron chain.

With the Demon Right Hand supporting him, Gu Xi wouldn't be thrown off even if he stood upside down on the Evil Coffin.

Now he finally had the mind to take a look around.

At the same time, he was also thinking about some things.

Although the task at hand was simply to find the Skull Flower, after hearing the story of this Mysterious Academy, Gu Xi had a feeling that the Black Robe Skeleton was plotting something.

Was he trying to use his own strength to find materials?

Gu Xi always felt that things weren't that simple.

As they left the Burial Ground, Gu Xi suddenly patted the Evil Coffin and looked around with a solemn expression.

Something seems amiss.

Previously, he had only heard noise when the train appeared in this space; otherwise, the Princess's Forest were completely silent.

The entire Princess's Forest looked as if it were dead.

Even when he chased after the figure and found the Black Robe Skeleton, the situation was the same: the figure moved extremely fast but made no sound.

But from the Princess's Forest in front of them came rustling sounds.

This situation is clearly not right.

Gu Xi immediately reached out and grabbed the Cold Wind Staff, slamming the tip of the staff heavily onto the ground.

White Bone Storm!

A massive White Bone Storm spread outwards from Gu Xi, and many nearby trees were instantly shredded into pieces by the combined power of the White Bone Storm, ice, and fire.

As the trees fell, Gu Xi noticed a large herd of horses, now turned into Skeleton, fleeing into the distance.

Upon seeing this situation, Gu Xi didn't hesitate. He raised his Cold Wind Staff and struck the fleeing horses.

"Magic Arrow!"

As Gu Xi cast his spell, several flaming ice swords flew from the Cold Wind Staff, swiftly striking several of the Skeleton Horse.

At this moment, these Skeleton Horse turned around. They didn't know how they got there; they just took two steps on the ground and then stepped into the air, opening their mouths as if to bite Gu Xi.

"White Bone Storm!"

Gu Xi immediately unleashed a spell; without his Undead Army, White Bone Storm was the best defensive spell available.

As the White Bone Storm rose around Gu Xi, the first few Skeleton Horse were instantly blasted to pieces.

At the same time, Gu Xi flipped his hand and pointed to the spot where a Skeleton Horse had fallen.

"Bone Shield!"

Then the Steel City Gate slowly appeared, Earthbound Weird Dragon immediately straightened up, staring at the charging Skeleton Horse.

However, these Skeleton Horse reacted very quickly; they exploded like bats and disappeared in front of Gu Xi in the blink of an eye.

If Gu Xi hadn't been looking at the battlefield after the battle, he would have doubted whether what he had just witnessed was a hallucination.

The Steel City Gate had already opened, and a large number of the Undead Army poured out.

Grand Princess Anna and her entourage also arrived.

Seeing the current situation, they were all speechless.

Didn't we agree that I came here to learn?

How did they start fighting in less than a day?

"Sir, should we send some troops over?"

"Not for now. Just send the Corpse Poison Fly and Gargoyle over. As long as I'm not ambushed, my safety is not a problem."

Gu Xi glanced around at the situation and decided to send his men out.

At the very least, something like what just happened must not happen again.

"Sir, how about sending over the White Bone Locust?"

"Okay, let's send a hundred groups through too."

Gu Xi thought for a moment, "You all do your work, just leave a portion of the troops near the Steel City Gate to await orders."

Grand Princess Anna actually wanted to assign some more subordinates to Gu Xi, but after hearing Gu Xi's words, she did not insist.

Anyway, Gu Xi can drop City Gate onto the battlefield at any time, and if anything happens, Gu Xi won't put himself in a dangerous place.

Just now, Gu Xi was just itching to test his current strength.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited so long to open the Steel City Gate.

The troops needed by Gu Xi were quickly mobilized.

The Corpse Poison Fly suffered no losses in the previous battles, but they also received no replenishment; they still have 100 swarms. The Gargoyle, on the other hand, have produced 45 gargoyles in three weeks.

With the addition of a hundred swarms of White Bone Locust, the entire force blocked out the sunlight above Gu Xi as soon as it appeared.

With these soldiers, Gu Xi felt more confident. He waved his hand, keeping the Corpse Poison Fly by his side to protect him, while sending out the Gargoyle and White Bone Locust to scout ahead.

Gu Xi's order was that anything that could move should be treated as an enemy.

As for the trees at this time, they should not be damaged.

After all, Gu Xi came here to learn, not to destroy an academy.

Destroying this place wouldn't benefit Gu Xi much; right now, he just wants to ensure his own safety.

With the Gargoyle, Gu Xi quickly left the forest.

Because they were going in a different direction, Gu Xi was getting further and further away from the train tracks.

However, it was precisely because of this that Gu Xi discovered that there were many things he had not yet discovered in these mountains.

For example, the current situation is just like that.

As Gu Xi walked out of the forest, he arrived at a mountaintop.

There were no trees on the mountaintop, only some withered yellow grass. However, Gu Xi discovered that there were many human figures carved from rocks on the mountaintop.

They have clearly been left here for quite some time, exposed to the wind and sun, and some of these statues have become damaged.

Gu Xi saw that inside these Stone Statue were male and female students, wearing the same black robes that Gu Xi had seen on the train, and scarves around their necks.

However, everything about them had turned stone gray, and Gu Xi couldn't tell which department they belonged to.

These Stone Statue were arranged together like toys.

Gu Xi noticed that among so many Stone Statue, there was a particularly special group: Stone Statue of children surrounded together.

Among the Stone Statue, there is also a thin, bony Little Cat Stone Statue.

From a distance, it looks like a sculpture depicting a group of naughty children bullying a Little Cat.

In this situation, Gu Xi could only say that the people who left these Stone Statue were really playing a trick.

After comparing the map with the one from the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi made a brief stop there.

The White Bone Locust and Gargoyle that had been sent out also returned, bringing news from within a hundred miles around to Gu Xi.

Apart from the attack Gu Xi just encountered, there was no trace of any living creature in the vicinity.

In other words, those Skeleton Horse appeared suddenly to attack Gu Xi, and then disappeared just as suddenly.

This made Gu Xi wonder.

Why is that?
