As soon as Madam Sha finished speaking, Gu Xi's eyes lit up. He found himself lying on the Evil Coffin, drooling from the corner of his mouth.

Looking down again, Gu Xi found three folded pieces of white paper in his hand.

Gu Xi thought for a moment, then put away the three pieces of white paper, jumped onto the Evil Coffin, and left the place.

After leaving the area affected by the fallen Wisdom Tree, Gu Xi took out the three sheets of white paper.

The white paper lists three items that Gu Xi needs to find.

These three quest items are not difficult to obtain, nor do they require a specific quantity. Rather, they are targeted at a particular purpose: either you kill someone and take an item from their person, or you take a special item from a certain location.

In any case, these items are clearly unique.

The styles are also quite unique; you either can't find them or you can spot them at a glance.

Gu Xi folded the paper containing the quest item back up and raised the Cold Wind Staff towards the sky.

A Gargoyle landed in front of Gu Xi.

"Take a look at these three items. Keep a close eye on them while you're scouting. If you find anything, come back and report immediately."

The Gargoyle took the white item, glanced at the information on it, and then quickly flew away.

As soon as he flew away, the other Gargoyle also received the corresponding information.

If any of the Gargoyle notice anything unusual in the sky, they can immediately return to inform Gu Xi.

After releasing the Gargoyle, Gu Xi patted the Evil Coffin.

We delayed a bit earlier, but since they're still alive, we need to get to the valley quickly and find the Skull Flower.

Gu Xi didn't encounter anything strange along the way this time.

The journey went quite smoothly.

There were no enemies who suddenly attacked him, no one who got lost, and no strange items that attracted people to leave behind.

Even after leaving the influence range of the Wisdom Tree, Gu Xi himself became more and more energetic.

So Gu Xi simply sat at the very front of the Evil Coffin, watching the trees flash by and relaxing his mind.

After about half an hour, the Evil Coffin stopped again near a hilltop.

At this moment, Gu Xi also noticed the situation in the valley in front of him.

According to the map, this is the valley where the Skull Flower grows.

The valley looked no different from any other mountain forest, but when Gu Xi stood on the hilltop and looked down, it was a completely different feeling.

The entire valley was shrouded in thick clouds and mist, which were not normal clouds and mist, but rather had a faint, deathly gray hue.

It was also accompanied by a strong stench of decay. If Gu Xi weren't in a game, the smell alone would have made him vomit.

After sensing the unusual aura emanating from the valley, Gu Xi became wary.

Since entering the game, he has encountered many Burial Ground and Soul Gathering Ground, but he has never encountered this situation before.

The current situation could mean that a small, high-level undead Small City is buried beneath this valley.

Or perhaps this was once the Burial Ground of a high-ranking necromancer.

In either case, it's not a good thing for Gu Xi.

It seems we'll have to fight to get the Skull Flower this time.

As he Gu Xi the situation in the valley, a slight tremor came from the ground.

Upon hearing this voice, Gu Xi's heart tightened.

They've arrived.

Without needing to Gu Xi about what Xi might do, the Steel City Gate appeared behind him. The Earthbound Weird Dragon that had been lying in Steel City Gate immediately stood up and stared intently at every move in the valley below.

The Earthbound Weird Dragon clearly possesses its own intelligence.

At this moment, his mouth was wide open in a grin.

It is clear that the Earthbound Weird Dragon has reached the following situation.

The air in the valley felt somewhat familiar to him.

A powerful being who died here and became a ghost here.

One of them, like him, was part of the Earthbound Spirit.

Just as the Earthbound Weird Dragon was ready for battle, more than thirty Gargoyle flew out of the valley.

Before the Gargoyle could fly out of the valley, a red light flashed behind them, and the three Gargoyle were cleaved in mid-air and fell into the gray mist of the valley.

Then, at that very moment! A muffled boom resounded from the ground! A massive suit of full armor, about ten meters tall, rumbled out of the valley! This suit of full armor was blood red, gleaming eerily in the sunlight, and its surface was inlaid with dark gold trim.

The dark gold trim was fine and intricate, as if possessing a special Mana, forming patterns resembling roses on the surface of the armor.

The design of this full suit of armor is very unique, and it gives people a feeling that is both sinister and domineering.

In the hands of this fully armored figure, a two-handed Battle Axe, almost as tall as the armor itself, was held! The Battle Axe was entirely silver-white, radiating a cold light, and appeared particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

However, that's not what attracts Gu Xi.

Instead, hanging from this armor are white Skeleton, clearly relics of countless wars, inspiring awe.

These Skeleton were densely packed on the back of the armor, hanging down from the shoulders to the waist, as if draped in a cloak of death and terror.

The armor seemed to have been stained a deep brown by time and dust, but its presence could not conceal the eerie aura emanating from the Skeleton.

As the armor slowly moved, all the Skeleton seemed to come alive in an instant, chuckling and mocking everyone who tried to approach them.

Gu Xi recognized it at a glance. The Skeleton cloak on the armor was exactly what he was after: the Skull Flower. No wonder he needed ten of them.

One or two flowers might accidentally fall off, but ten flowers are clearly telling Gu Xi that he must defeat the armor in front of him and collect the Skull Flower from his body.

While Gu Xi silent, the armored figure noticed Gu Xi. It raised its head, held up its two-handed Battle Axe, waved it in Gu Xi's direction, and then turned and walked back into the valley.

This really surprised Gu Xi.

What's going on? They've already reached the door, but they're not coming out.

Is this a sign of looking down on oneself?

Just as the armored creature turned around, the Earthbound Weird Dragon suddenly moved. It opened its mouth and sprayed a stream of water that hit the armored creature.

This marked the beginning of an offensive by Gu Xi's side, which enraged the armored figure, who immediately swung its axe at the Earthbound Weird Dragon.

However, at this moment, the Earthbound Weird Dragon turned its body, and a large amount of water quickly wrapped around its dragon bones, turning it into Water Flow Clone.

And it withstood the Full Power Strike of the armor's attack with its own body.
