After sending out his elite skeleton warriors, Gu Su's footsteps unconsciously moved forward more than ten meters.

After all, in his opinion, after the White Raven's reconnaissance and the skeletons' test cuts, the vine-covered mansion before him seemed relatively safe, and his taut nerves relaxed a little.

But the moment Gu Su took a few more steps forward, an extremely strange sound suddenly came from inside the mansion.

The sound was soft yet eerie, like the broken, intermittent mechanical music from an old music box that had jammed, its melody twisted and bizarre, not pleasant in the least, but instead exuding a strange, soul-stirring magic.

The instant the music entered his ears, a thought uncontrollably surfaced in Gu Su's mind: he wanted to follow the sound and approach the mansion step by step, as if an invisible hand were guiding his steps from the shadows.

Fortunately, Gu Su was still some distance from the mansion at this moment, and the attraction of the strange music had not yet reached its peak.

He suddenly shook his head, and relying on the vigilance generated by his Level 2 basic survival skills, he instantly broke free from the strange pull and fully regained his senses.

After regaining his senses, Gu Su's heart tightened. He didn't dare to delay and instinctively began to retreat continuously.

Only when his footsteps stabilized did he realize belatedly that in the mere few seconds the music had played, he had unconsciously walked more than thirty meters, bringing him very close to the base of the mansion.

If he had reacted even half a beat slower, he would probably be standing beneath the vine-covered walls right now, falling into unknown danger.

"Something's wrong, there's definitely a big problem in here!"

Gu Su muttered to himself, his vigilance instantly maxed out. The previous complacency completely vanished, replaced by extreme caution.

He didn't dare to linger and continued to retreat step by step, while subconsciously wanting to recall the skeleton warriors that had already approached the mansion, fearing they too would be affected by the strange music.

But when Gu Su looked up towards the mansion, he found that those skeleton warriors were still unharmed, completely unaffected by the music. They were strictly following his previous orders, hacking at the glowing vines on the walls, their movements uniform and without the slightest hesitation.

And those strange vines also remained unresponsive, allowing the skeleton warriors to hack at them, as if they were just ordinary plants, indifferent to everything around them.

Gu Su retreated a few more steps, and only after confirming that he was in a sufficiently safe position, no longer affected by the strange music, did he find a relatively flat stone and sit down, his brows furrowed tightly as he began to think rapidly.

The encounter in that brief moment made Gu Su fully understand that the mansion covered in glowing vines was never an independent entity, but a strange symbiotic system.

Besides those seemingly harmless but eerily glowing vines, there must be other unknown strange existences hidden within the mansion, and the strange music box music from just now was the best proof.

However, Gu Su quickly grasped the key point: the strange power of this mansion seemed to have a clear weakness.

It did not target the dead. His skeleton warriors were undead, in a "dead" state, and thus immune to the strange music's pull, unaffected in any way.

With this realization, Gu Su's anxious heart settled slightly, but his vigilance did not diminish in the slightest.

After a moment of thought, Gu Su had an idea to test it. He gently beckoned behind him.

A White Raven, circling in the air, immediately understood and swooped down, landing steadily on Gu Su's shoulder.

Gu Su looked at the White Raven on his shoulder and decisively ordered, "Go, lure a few flying birds here and bring them near the mansion.

I want to see what effect this strange music has on living creatures."

The White Raven understood Gu Su's instructions and, without any hesitation, flapped its wings and flew into the distance, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Gu Su turned his gaze back to the mansion, staring intently at every movement there, while inwardly grumbling.

One day, he would definitely get a telescope.

Observing with his naked eyes alone, he couldn't see clearly into the distance, and many crucial details were easily missed. Just like now, he couldn't see the situation inside the mansion clearly, nor did he know the progress of his elite skeleton warriors.

Just then, the elite skeleton warriors that had been sent out earlier had successfully entered the mansion.

Led by another White Raven, they quickly navigated through the collapsed buildings, heading towards a special room.

Although this mansion had long since collapsed, with walls caved in and rubble everywhere, the terrain was extremely complex.

But these difficulties were nothing to the skeleton warriors. As undead warriors modified from light infantry, they possessed certain climbing abilities, were agile, and moved swiftly, easily avoiding collapsed debris and obstacles.

Moreover, the interior of the mansion was also entwined with a large number of glowing vines, which the skeleton warriors could use to aid their climbing.

With the White Raven leading the way, precisely bypassing the most difficult collapsed areas, their speed was not affected in the slightest.

Before long, the elite skeleton warriors successfully reached the floor discovered by the White Raven and found that special room.

The door to this room was tightly shut, with only a hole broken in the doorframe. A few glowing green vines had emerged from the hole.

This was where the White Raven had entered before.

Now, the White Raven had led them here as well.

After indicating the location of the final objective, the White Raven retreated to the side, leaving the battlefield to the elite skeleton warriors.

Upon entering this floor, the elite skeleton warriors had been in a state of alert.

They formed a tactical formation of three in front and two behind, their left arms steadily holding up their black iron shields, firmly protecting their heads and upper bodies, while their right arms held their bone swords, ready to respond to any potential danger and counterattack.

After receiving the White Raven's message, they prepared themselves and quickly approached the room's entrance.

The elite skeleton warrior in the center of the formation suddenly raised its right leg and, with all its might, kicked heavily at the dilapidated door.

With a loud "clang," the door was instantly kicked open, slamming heavily against the wall behind it and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Several skeleton warriors stood silently at the doorway with their shields raised, vigilantly observing the movements inside the room.

After confirming that there was no immediate danger inside and no unusual sounds, the two elite skeleton warriors at the forefront decisively stepped forward and quickly rushed into the room to investigate the situation within.
