Returning to the City

Today is Friday, please give me your collection, recommendation, monthly ticket, and other support!

With Gu Su's command, the skeletons immediately sprang into action. Their movements were swift and precise, without the slightest hesitation.

They scaled the walls of the gas station, climbing up with practiced ease.

Then, several skeletons began dismantling the roof, while the rest remained below to catch the falling debris.

In no time at all, the massive bird's nest on the roof was torn to shreds. Thick branches and bundles of soft straw were passed down in an orderly fashion.

Just as the skeletons transported the last remnants of the bird's nest to the ground, the corrupted mycelium had finished spreading, completely engulfing the entire gas station and the small supermarket behind it.

Gu Su stood not far away, watching the bizarre scene unfold before his eyes.

The gas station and supermarket, which were still relatively intact, began to melt and disintegrate at a visible rate under the embrace of the corrupted mycelium, like snow in winter meeting the scorching sun.

The black walls, broken windows, and the remains of the cold cash register all dissolved bit by bit, completely consumed by the mycelium.

In just a moment, where the gas station once stood, only a flat, empty clearing remained.

If not for the items Gu Su and his crew had moved out still neatly piled on the ground, Gu Su would have almost believed that there had never been a gas station there, just a barren wilderness.

Looking at the empty scene before him, Gu Su paused for a moment before turning his gaze towards the remnants of the bird's nest that the skeletons had brought down.

Besides the thick branches used to build the nest, there were also large amounts of soft straw and feathers of various colors mixed in, including harpy plumes and down from some unknown birds.

While not exactly treasures, they were usable resources.

Gu Su mused to himself, then instructed the busy skeletons, "Organize all these things and pack them up. We'll take them back to the Graveyard Demon together later."

After giving the order, he walked straight to the corpse of the harpy leader, bent down, and gently plucked off a red feather emitting a faint white light that was attached to its body.

The feather felt warm to the touch, its texture delicate, unlike ordinary feathers. The moment the feather completely detached from the harpy's corpse, a crisp ding sounded in Gu Su's ear.

[Discovered Fireball (Scroll). Upon use, allows player, hero, or spellcasting creature to learn Fireball (Level 1).]

[Fireball (Level 1): Consumes 1 mana, launches a fireball dealing 15 damage.]

Gu Su looked down at the red feather in his hand, a flicker of understanding in his eyes.

This was not some special feather at all, but a Fireball scroll disguised as one.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and handed the feather to the spellcasting skeleton that had been following him, his tone calm but with an undeniable command: "Here, learn this."

The spellcasting skeleton quickly extended its bony claws and carefully took the red feather.

The instant the feather touched its claws, it instantly transformed into a red stream of light and entered the spellcasting skeleton's brow. Immediately, the faint blue star-shaped mark on its brow lit up and slowly turned into a fiery red.

A faint aura of flame emanated from its body, and faint sparks flickered on its bony claws, clearly indicating that it had successfully learned Fireball.

Gu Su's gaze swept over the spellcasting skeleton's status panel, and he nodded slightly.

Skeleton (Level 0, Summon): EXP (34/100) ATK 1, DEF 1, HP 10, MP 5, Skill: Fireball

Although its stats were still not impressive, the addition of the Fireball skill represented a qualitative improvement.

15 damage meant that it could now instantly kill an elite skeleton. With its mana, it could take down at least five elite skeletons. This was definitely a transformative change.

This situation brought a slight smile to Gu Su's face.

However, he did not delay any further and urged the skeletons who were still organizing the supplies.

"Hurry up, pack everything here properly, we need to go back."

During the brief lull in combat, Gu Su had already noticed the sky. The sun had long since set, leaving only a faint afterglow on the horizon. The sky was darkening at a visible rate; it was already evening.

In this bizarre game world, even the daytime was fraught with danger, let alone after nightfall. Who knew what terrifying monsters lurked in the darkness?

Gu Su was filled with vigilance and did not want to linger in the wilderness for too long. He just wanted to return to the Graveyard Demon as quickly as possible, as that was his only safe haven.

Under Gu Su's urging, the skeletons' movements became even more rapid.

In a short while, all the supplies were packed.

Gleaming gold coins, a few items from the treasure chest, and various miscellaneous items were carefully placed into the emptied shopping cart, steadily pushed by a regular skeleton.

The branches, straw, and feathers used to build the bird's nest, along with the angle iron and wooden boards dismantled from the shelves, were neatly bundled into several large bundles, which multiple skeletons, working in pairs, struggled to carry.

An elite skeleton carried the corpse of the harpy leader on its back.

The last two skeletons carried the charred and incomplete remains of the oil-tank centipede, which had been burned black by flames, and waited quietly beside Gu Su.

Seeing that everything was ready, Gu Su no longer hesitated and waved his hand, "Let's go, back!"

As his voice fell, he took the lead and strode quickly in the direction of the Graveyard Demon.

The skeletons, carrying various supplies, followed closely behind, their neat footsteps echoing clearly on the open wilderness.

Along the way, Gu Su constantly observed his surroundings with vigilance, not daring to slacken in the slightest.

The skeletons also performed their duties, keeping an eye on their surroundings while on the move, always guarding against potential dangers.

After hurrying along for about seven or eight minutes, the last sliver of twilight on the horizon completely vanished, and the sky grew completely dark. Just as Gu Su's anxiety intensified, the familiar outline of the Graveyard Demon's dilapidated wall finally appeared ahead.

They walked quickly to the Graveyard Demon's main gate. Almost simultaneously, the tightly shut gate slowly opened on its own.

Immediately after, a large amount of snow-white spirit money drifted out from inside the Graveyard Demon, like a sky full of falling snow, slowly landing on Gu Su and the skeletons. It looked as if they were being warmly welcomed back.

Gu Su knew this was the Ghost Tree sensing their return.

So he quickly took a few steps, leading the skeletons to transport everything inside.

As soon as he entered the Graveyard Demon, Gu Su noticed that the situation within the graveyard had changed again.
