The Eerie White Star Lake Village

At this moment, White Star Lake was still illuminated by twinkling lights, but these scattered lights always gave people a cold and eerie feeling.

When Gu Xi's Evil Coffin entered the surface area of White Star Lake, Gu Xi clearly felt that something was chasing after him from beneath the ice.

Four Ghost hovered around Gu Xi, eager to break through the ice and grab what was below.

Gu Xi was also lying on the coffin lid, wearing a cotton coat and holding the Powderize Staff, ready to make a move at any moment.

Just as Gu Xi was staring intently at the ice, a human corpse suddenly floated by beneath the ice. The corpse had been submerged under the ice for an unknown amount of time, and its eyes and most of its skin had been bitten off by fish.

As the corpse floated under the ice, its eyelids suddenly opened, revealing empty, hollow eyeballs.

Gu Xi, who was watching the Gu Xi under the ice, was startled by the situation. He shook his hand, and the Powderize Staff struck the ice.

The Powderize Staff is primarily used to break shields; the higher the enemy's defense, the stronger the Powderize Staff's attack effect.

This effect can also be applied to city walls, City Gate, or mountains; ice surfaces are also within the range of the Powderize Staff's influence.

Gu Xi's unintentional blow immediately cracked the ice surface.

A thick, eerie Yin Energy emanated from beneath the ice, startling Gu Xi.

But in the next instant, the cold wind blew, and the cracked ice surface froze again. The Yin Energy was also blown away by the cold wind. If it weren't for the obvious cracks on the ice surface, Gu Xi might have doubted that everything that had just happened was an illusion.

That's exactly what stirred up Gu Xi's spirit.

Gu Xi sat up straight, stopped the Evil Coffin, and sat on the coffin lid, staring at the situation on the ice.

"Something's not right beneath this lake."

After a moment of silence, Gu Xi also realized the problem: everything around was too quiet. Even if the lake was frozen over, the residents of White Star Lake should still be out and about.

The situation was clearly not right. Without much hesitation, Gu Xi made a decisive judgment. "Go, go to the nearest cabin."

Upon hearing this, the evil coffin turned around on the ice and instead of rushing towards the location with the most water houses in White Star Lake, it headed directly towards the location closest to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi had been lying on the coffin lid, sat up straight, wrapped himself in Cotton Quilt, and carefully looked around.

About a minute later, the Evil Coffin stopped in front of a small hut on the water.

Gu Xi could tell the situation of the small house as soon as he looked at it.

This type of hut is actually a Water House built with wooden frames, about one meter above the water. Wooden planks supported by the wooden frame serve as the floor, and then the wooden house is built on top of that floor.

The small house is not very big; it consists of eight wooden supports and a small room of about twenty square meters.

When Gu Xi came over, he could see that there were many dried fish hanging around the hut, and some firewood piled up on the wooden platform.

The whole cottage was filled with a sense of life.

But when Gu Xi arrived at the small house, he noticed that although there were lights on inside, there was no sign of human presence.

"Let's go take a look."

Gu Xi waved his hand, and the four Ghost flew towards the hut.

Behind Gu Xi, the gates of the Death City were slowly appearing.

Gu Xi was worried that something might have happened here, so he prepared for battle well in advance.

Just then, the Ghost that had entered the hut flew out again. Judging from their appearance, there was nothing left inside the hut.

This situation puzzled Gu Xi. He controlled the Evil Coffin to approach the hut, and then jumped down to land in front of the hut.

At this moment, the door of the hut was pushed open, Gu Xi peeked into the hut. He noticed that the hut was filled with various thick furs, and in the corner there were some weapons and harpoons made of bones.

The fire in the fireplace of the cabin had gone out, and the light that Gu Xi had seen earlier was coming from an oil lamp hanging from the ceiling.

This oil lamp was the only metal item in the hut. The lamp was completely out of place with the style of the hut. Even though it only emitted a tiny spark the size of a thumb, Gu Xi and the others outside the hut felt as if someone was home.

This situation made Gu Xi's scalp tingle.

This is already beyond the capabilities of the undead.

Just as Gu Xi was about to leave, he suddenly felt his feet were moving out of control and heading towards the oil lamp.

"Damn it, it's Mind Power again. Next time I go out, I must find a way to be immune to Mind Control."

Gu Xi roared inwardly, but his hands did not stop. He raised the Powderize Staff and pointed it at the oil lamp.

Bone Spike!

At Gu Xi's command, a skeleton flew toward the oil lamp.

But just as the skeleton was about to touch the oil lamp, a Walrus People with tusks emerged from the lamp and blocked the attack.

In that instant, Gu Xi understood what was going on.

The White Star Lake before us has been affected by the invading undead.

There's a big player here who, through some means, has taken control of the entire village area White Star Lake.

The oil lamp in front of them was part of that big guy. He used a strange method different from that of the dead, influencing everyone who saw the light through mental means, making them walk into the oil lamp on their own.

Their bodies would serve as fuel for oil lamps.

As for their souls, after losing their bodies, their souls naturally become undead. They may eventually be taken away in a package, or they may be affected by other factors and become part of this big guy's other plans.

Gu Xi, having figured this out, was also covered in a cold sweat.

"Ghost, go up and put out that oil lamp."

At Gu Xi's command, the four Ghost swiftly pounced out.

But before the Ghost could get close to the oil lamp, it was blocked by a ball of fire.

Gu Xi saw the Walrus People burning in the oil lamp. Even though his whole body was engulfed in flames, he remained motionless, clearly indicating that he had died when the flames were lit.

"Corpse Explosion!"

Seeing that the Ghost couldn't get forward, Gu Xi quickly changed his fighting style. He pointed at the Walrus People's corpse in the oil lamp and used a Lesser Corpse Explosion.

When he made the move, Gu Xi didn't really think too much about it. His feeling was that since the oil lamp was using the corpse as fuel, he would blow up the corpse and then the oil lamp would be useless.

But he never expected that this was exactly what the enemy was waiting for.

As the Walrus People's corpse exploded in the oil lamp, the hut also exploded at the same time.

Gu Xi was blown away by the shockwave of the explosion and crashed heavily onto the ice.
