Chapter 96: The Undead Beneath the Ice

“Hahaha, they were right, necromancers are just a bunch of brainless skeletons. They couldn’t even see through such a simple trap!”

Before Gu Xi could climb up from the ice, a mad laugh echoed from the center of White Star Lake.

Then another voice sounded.

“I told you, as long as we leave some clues, those necromancers will release you themselves.”

As that voice echoed, Gu Xi's evil coffin rushed to his side, using its body to protect him.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Xi looked in the direction of the voice.

Gu Xi saw a man draped in white baboon fur standing in the center of White Star Lake, where the lights were densest.

The man was of normal human size, wearing nothing but the white baboon fur, revealing skin covered in various colored undead tattoos.

In his left hand, he held a strange oil lamp, shaped like a pink brain, wrapped in a fine iron mesh with small bells and sparks at each intersection.

In his right hand, he held a dark red, rusted scythe.

While speaking, he didn’t pay attention to Gu Xi but stared at the ice beneath White Star Lake.

Beneath the ice, a massive corpse over nine meters tall slowly opened its eyes.

This enormous corpse was somewhat thick, resembling a magnified walrus, with four-meter-long white tusks protruding from its mouth.

The corpse was also studded with about four to five hundred broken tusks.

Its skin was smooth, making it look unlike a walrus corpse.

In fact, this corpse was originally a spirit formed from the graves of walrus people.

Initially, White Star Lake was the secret graveyard of the walrus people, similar to the elephant graveyard for elephants. Every walrus person, feeling near death, would come to White Star Lake, close their eyes, sink to the bottom, and return to the walrus people’s graveyard.

This was their best protection for their remains, as no one would expect the walrus people’s graveyard to be in a freshwater lake.

But the walrus people didn’t anticipate that this world would be discovered and swiftly occupied by the Sunshine Glory Guild.

After the Sunshine Glory Guild took over this world, the environment changed significantly, affecting White Star Lake and severing its connection to the sea in the cold winds.

Some beaver people, who had allied with the initial exploration team of the Sunshine Glory Guild, also settled in White Star Lake.

Their settlement met with fierce resistance from the walrus people. The spirit formed from the walrus graveyard here held a status comparable to Luna in Aridowei.

The necromancers of the Sunshine Glory Guild had effective ways to deal with such spirits.

They used some methods to kill the spirit and seal the walrus graveyard, preventing any strong spirits from emerging.

After that, the walrus people and the beaver people ‘peacefully coexisted’ at White Star Lake, jointly developing everything in the frozen lake.

The dense yin energy Gu Xi felt when he accidentally shattered the lake surface earlier was the lingering power of the walrus people’s graveyard.

The rapidly freezing winds were aimed at sealing the walrus graveyard spirit.

But the slain spirit of the walrus graveyard never gave up any chance to resist.
