"You should come with us. Once we leave this place, you'll be safe."
Although the elderly undead man had been staring at the Death Avatar-Bone Dragon behind Gu Xi, hesitation written across his face, he ultimately said those words.
This was the elderly undead man's final act of kindness.
Gu Xi understood as well. These people were fleeing famine, and they had only gathered around because they saw the Death Avatar-Bone Dragon circling above Gu Xi's head and came over for a look.
Once they had looked, they still had to continue on their journey.
As for taking Gu Xi along with them—
That actually went against their intentions.
However, Gu Xi possessed the abilities of a Death Lord and had a good relationship with the undead. These undead had also been more or less forced out by others, making them half his comrades. That was why the elderly undead man had said such a thing.
Otherwise, why would the elderly undead man care who you were? You weren't his descendant.
Just as Gu Xi smiled and was about to say something, a ding sounded in his ear.
``` You came into contact with undead fleeing from Dragon Lake Horn and learned of Dragon Lake Horn's situation. You felt some sympathy for undead driven from their homes and decided to do something for them.
