After sleeping for over another hour, Gu Xi checked his surroundings the moment he woke up and opened his eyes.
All the people who had escaped from the cells were huddled together, glaring grimly at the skeleton before them, yet none of them dared move.
Even though the skeleton's bones were thinner than theirs, and a single skeleton could never keep watch over all of them, they did not dare make the slightest move.
Gu Xi looked down on their reaction.
If they had dared to make another move while Gu Xi was asleep for the second time, he might have respected their courage.
But now, they were merely a group of ordinary people who wanted benefits yet were cowardly beyond belief.
Shaking his head, Gu Xi stood up.
"Enough. I don't know what you're all pretending for. Get up. If I'd wanted to attack you, you'd have become skeletons long ago."
Only then did they cautiously look toward Gu Xi.
The moment they raised their heads, however, they saw Luna behind Gu Xi glaring at them with her hollow eyes.
The chill in her gaze frightened them so badly that they immediately shrank back.
Gu Xi rolled his eyes at them and said to Jack, "Where's the map?"
Jack made one last attempt to struggle. "Master Mage, we need to—"
"Stop. I know you have your own ideas, but I have my own considerations too. Either lead the way now, or I'll turn you into a skeleton and have the skeleton lead the way."
The moment Jack heard that, he shut his mouth and obediently led the way.
The people in the room exchanged glances, each seeing the unwillingness in the others' eyes. After hesitating for a moment, they ultimately followed obediently.
Following behind Jack, Gu Xi and the others soon arrived at the spot where they had first entered the Secret Passage.
Before they could open the mechanism leading to the outer corridor, they heard knocking coming from outside.
With a gesture from Gu Xi, Luna passed through the wall and reached the ceiling of the corridor.
In the corridor outside, more than thirty Black Robe Cultists were holding tools and tapping against the walls bit by bit, seemingly searching for hidden mechanisms and secret passages that had yet to be discovered.
Behind these Black Robe Cultists, a cultist who was clearly their leader was speaking loudly.
"Be more thorough! Search every inch of these walls carefully.
"I don't care what methods you use. Find every single one of those escaped Race Sacrifices.
"Otherwise, when it's time to begin the ritual, take off your own clothes and walk onto the altar yourselves."
After taking a look at them, Luna headed toward the underground space nearby.
The traces left behind from Gu Xi's earlier battle with the Black Robe Cultists had not been cleaned up.
Although the surviving Black Robe Cultists had returned to their positions before the Abandoned Gate, their numbers had clearly decreased significantly.
Meanwhile, at the other entrances to the underground space, Black Robe Cultists were gradually dragging over new people and placing them in front of the gate, apparently making up for the reduced number of Black Robe Cultists stationed there.
While Luna was out, Gu Xi did not remain idle. He handed the Scimitar at his side to the skeleton beside him while carefully sharpening the dagger in his hand.
Every time he sharpened it, he would look up at Jack, scaring Jack badly.
Just then, Luna passed through the wall again. Her hollow gaze swept over Jack, and Jack opened his mouth to scream.
Gu Xi hurriedly stepped forward and covered Jack's mouth. "They're searching for us outside. Do you want to die?"
Only after Jack calmed down did Gu Xi turn to Luna.
"How's the situation outside?"
"There are only thirty-some people in the corridor. They're weak!"
"Then we'll use the old trick."
Gu Xi waved the dagger in his hand and forcefully pulled open the mechanism for the secret passage door.
Before a Black Robe Cultist who had been tapping on the wall could react, a dagger buried itself directly in his head.
Killed Cultist (Level 1), gained 12 experience points.
The skeleton then charged forward, swinging its Scimitar at another Black Robe Cultist nearby.
The Black Robe Cultists tapping on the walls were all stunned. They had not expected Gu Xi to launch an attack the instant he appeared. Before they could react, the skeleton had already cut one of them down.
Skeleton (Summoned Creature) killed Cultist (Level 1). You gained 1 point of experience; the Summoned Creature gained 6 points of experience.
Only then did the enemies react. The leader shouted, "Shield Bearers, surround them! Watch out for the enemy's Corpse Explosion—"
Gu Xi had long known the leading Black Robe Cultist's location from Luna's description. While the skeleton was killing, Gu Xi had already rushed seven or eight large steps forward.
Seeing that the distance was about right, Gu Xi threw his hand out. Using both hands at once, he sent three daggers flying toward the cultist leader.
The cultist leader had not expected Gu Xi to prioritize attacking him in such a situation. He had not considered defending himself at all. Only when a flash of white light appeared before him did he react.
The cultist leader hurriedly dodged backward beneath the white light, but it was already too late.
Gu Xi had thrown those three Flying Daggers precisely for this purpose.
The first dagger reached the cultist leader and activated the defensive item he carried.
The second dagger forced the cultist leader to dodge in a particular direction. The third dagger was the crucial one.
When the cultist leader dodged, the Flying Dagger was already in position and stabbed directly into his neck.
Kill Cultist Leader (Level 2, Elite), gained 42 points of experience. You completed Triple Throw and successfully killed an enemy, gaining 40 points of Throwing experience.
The moment the cultist leader died, all the Black Robe Cultists fell into chaos. They rushed toward him, wanting to see what had happened.
Seeing them gather together, Gu Xi was about to give them a Corpse Explosion, but just as he was about to act, he hesitated. The incantation on his lips changed from Corpse Explosion to Summoning.
In the next instant, the cultist leader's corpse exploded on the spot. As blood scattered in all directions, a stronger Skeleton rose to its feet.
Pulling the dagger from its neck with one hand, the Skeleton swung its arm back and drove the dagger into the head of a cultist running toward it.

Skeleton Head (Level 0, Summoned Creature): Experience (0/500), Attack 2, Defense 1, Health 15, Skills: Combat Elite, Squad Command (30 people).
