The Mission Is Forced to a Halt

As Gu Xi finalized his plan, the strange Skeleton Behemoth sent by the Black Robe Skeleton had already arrived at the valley where Gu Xi had previously fought the Death Intent Giant Armor.

Looking at the now clear and transparent pool of water, a hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Skeleton Behemoth.

What about such a large corpse?

Wasn't it said that once it was impaled in the ground by the Darnathres Sword, it couldn't be moved again? How could it have disappeared? Upon realizing something was wrong, the Skeleton Behemoth screamed immediately and sped back the way it came at incredible speed.

He knew very well that something was wrong, and if he didn't spread the news immediately, his subsequent plans would be in serious trouble.

However, this Skeleton Behemoth attracted the attention of other forces.

He came secretly, so he wasn't very conspicuous.

But in his haste, he didn't bother to hide himself, and was naturally spotted immediately.

Just like what Shaya had found out before.

Three Department Head remained in this Mysterious Academy.

They all have some of the authority granted to the academy.

They all harbored ambitions to rebuild the academy.

They were also very familiar with the situation of the professors in the college. They knew exactly what each professor had and what they were hiding.

The Darnathres Sword is a relatively difficult one to deal with.

On one hand Darnathres Sword is difficult to deal with, and on the other hand, the Death Intent Giant Armor is also difficult to fight.

Most importantly, this Death Intent Giant Armor is the property of the academy, belonging to the category of Puppet and golems. All Department Head and professors signed an agreement when they joined the academy.

Students of the college must not be harmed; on the contrary, they must be protected.

Students must not damage college property, etc.

That is why they have never been able to take down the Soul Control Bell over there.

Now that the Skeleton Behemoth has moved, many eyes in the vicinity have immediately turned to this place.

When they saw the emptied pool, the missing corpses, and the Soul Control Bell, some of them realized that the Soul Control Bell had been stolen.

They did not suspect Gu Xi.

Instead, they focused their attention on the Black Robe Skeleton.

After all, the Black Robe Skeleton had such authority, and he also harbored such ambitions.

Therefore, the encirclement and suppression of the Skeleton Behemoth was launched immediately.

This time, the people from the academy sent out their strongest troops.

They didn't release any beings below level 10; they went straight to level 12 and above.

Their goal was to steal the most crucial Soul Control Bell.

This Soul Control Bell is part of the academy's main defense system.

It can control all the Puppet and golems within the academy, including Stone Statue and armor.

This can be considered the academy's strongest fighting force.

In the absence of students to fight, whoever gains control of the Puppet and golems effectively gains control of most of the academy's authority.

So even if I can't get it myself, I can't let anyone steal the Soul Control Bell from me.

As a result, a large number of giant undead composed of Skeleton or other creatures appeared in front of this Skeleton Behemoth immediately.

Just as the Black Robe Skeleton had said before, what they taught, combined with the power of the undead, formed a relatively unique undead existence.

They fought a great battle in the mountains surrounding the academy.

Even Gu Xi, who had already run far away, felt the aftershocks of this great battle.

As the great battle unfolded, Gu Xi was listening to Shaya recount some details.

Gu Xi discovered some intelligence information that was filling the gaps in his Undead Knowledge and Magic Knowledge.

"Why did they start fighting?"

The chat was interrupted by an explosion, which made Gu Xi somewhat annoyed.

"Something seems wrong here, Shaya, go check it out!"

Shaya was also quite curious about the situation over there. If Gu Xi hadn't been there, she would have gone over to take a look long ago.

Upon receiving Gu Xi's order, Shaya immediately disappeared from his Gu Xi.

Faced with Shaya's situation, Gu Xi could only shake his head helplessly.

I've never seen anything like this before.

But it's good that she can go there; at least Gu Xi will know what happened.

Don't let it be like before, where you come in completely blind and know nothing.

"Alright, that's enough news. Let's hurry, there's chaos here, we need to find the quest items quickly..."

Before Gu Xi could finish speaking, a message popped up in front of him.

[Ding, your Long-Term Mission: The Vanishing Wisdom has failed...]

It failed? What happened?

Gu Xi jumped up immediately.

He quickly flipped through his task list, searching for the reasons why the tasks had failed.

Upon reviewing the information, Gu Xi discovered a very serious problem.

The Wisdom Tree Lady Sha, who gave him the task, is dead.

"What the hell is going on? How can the Wisdom Tree, which is already dead, die a second time?"

After a barrage of complaints, Gu Xi had no choice but to stop.

This time, he headed towards the location designated by Madam Sha, where a quest item needed for Madam Sha's mission was located.

Now that Madam Sha is gone, what's the point of him going there now?

We're almost there, isn't this just making him run for nothing?

After jumping off the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi was somewhat angry, but he had managed to train and cultivate himself during this time.

After his anger subsided, he calmed down.

At this moment, Gu Xi was pondering what to do next.

Since we've already come all this way, we might as well go and take a look.

Whether the quest items obtained are useful or not is another matter.

Perhaps when Gu Xi returns with the quest items, he can revive Madam Sha's Wisdom Tree.

Although he knew in his heart that his idea was not very reliable, Gu Xi still jumped back onto the Evil Coffin.

Heading towards the location Madam Sha had indicated.

As Gu Xi resumed his journey, the Black Robe Skeleton who had been waiting received the latest message.

The message was delivered to him when the Skeleton Behemoth died in battle.

He had naturally witnessed the great battle nearby.

As the battle began, the Black Robe Skeleton was still cursing under his breath for his Skeleton Behemoth being so careless.

He went in carefully and came out carefully, trying not to be discovered, but he was still discovered.

But when he saw the intelligence that was sent over, he understood what was going on.

The Soul Control Bell has been taken away.

There was nothing there.

Upon receiving this news, the Black Robe Skeleton immediately realized the key to the matter.

Gu Xi took the things.

No, we have to get this back before anyone else finds it.

However, a thought flashed through the Black Robe Skeleton's mind.

Gu Xi is hard to control, and he has already learned what he wants. What can you offer him in exchange?
