My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 327 - 324 Price

May 15.

Lu Wu, who had stayed in the Changping Secret Realm for a month, finally set out on his journey back to Jiangnan after his farewell battle with the Skeleton General, Old Bone.

In fact, if possible, Lu Wu really wanted to stay a few more days.

Even wishing to linger until he became unmatched before leaving.

But Lu Wu could no longer delay.

On one hand, Little Skeleton’s evolution needed to be handled as soon as possible.

On the other hand, he had already delayed for a month.

Old Zhang and the others, who had left Beijing later than him, had already returned to Jiangnan, and yet he, who had left earlier, hadn’t arrived, worrying Zhang Wentao immensely.

After all, this year’s high school competition had already begun.

If Lu Wu didn’t return soon, he would miss this year’s recruitment.

Furthermore, Lu Wu couldn’t explain the affairs related to "Zero" and Old Lin to Zhang Wentao.

Therefore, Old Zhang particularly couldn’t understand Lu Wu’s absence from home; during this period, Zhang Wentao almost called him three times a day, urging him continuously.

Lu Wu really had no other option.

Upon reevaluating, he had hidden for a month, and it seemed like there was no trouble in Jiangnan.

There were also no messages of "Zero" wreaking havoc in District 1.

This situation only had two possibilities.

Either "Zero" had been driven out of District 1, or they were waiting for him.

No matter which possibility it was, remaining in the Changping Secret Realm wasn’t advisable.

Given his current identity, he really wasn’t suitable to stay too long.

If he stayed for long, others would develop an undue curiosity about the Changping Secret Realm, which Lu Wu feared might cause trouble for Old Bone.

Under these various reasons, Lu Wu finally decided to start his journey back to Jiangnan.

Compared to when Lu Wu arrived, his departure was much more spectacular.

Bone Tiger, Bone Bear, Bone Flood Dragon

Three fierce giant beasts led the way, with Lu Wu’s house’s RV in the middle, followed by thirty Skeleton Elites clothed in mysterious robes.

A huge caravan crossed the entire Changping Secret Realm, grandiosely leaving the stronghold.

As everyone knows, Lu Wu is a low-profile person.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t make such a big scene.

This grand departure was also to let people know that Lu Wu’s purpose in visiting the Changping Secret Realm was to transform these three Summoned Beasts, to divert people’s attention away to the maximum extent, so they wouldn’t trouble Old Bone.

After all, not everyone could get along with Old Bone as he did.

Sending a few lives carelessly would be troublesome.

Watching as the stronghold of the Changping Secret Realm slowly disappeared from his presence, Lu Wu’s expression was somewhat complex.

There was reluctance and also regret.

"It’s a pity that Old Bone can’t leave the Land of Burial, otherwise, I would definitely have spirited him away."

Compared to Lu Wu’s regret, Little Skeleton beside him was obviously much happier.

(Finally leaving this place, never to let bad Lu Wu come here again, lest bad Lu Wu gets tricked by bad skeletons!

Only one Little Skeleton should be by Lu Wu’s side!)

Little Skeleton was quite jealous in this regard.

Seeing Little Skeleton’s state, the face of Lu Wu, already mixed with reluctance and regret, instantly darkened.

"Write, write out your reflections on Nu Xiao’s ’Undead Evolution System’ and ’Undead Shepherd’.

One book with five hundred thousand words!!"

Poor Little Skeleton, barely happy for long, fell into the fear of being dominated by homework.

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

At the Land of Burial.

After seeing off Lu Wu, the Skeleton General silently returned to the depths of the Land of Burial.

He settled back down on a small blood-colored mound deep within.

Watching the surging blood-red evil Qi around him, the Skeleton General felt somewhat bewildered and even suddenly experienced an unprecedented sense of loneliness.

This feeling struck the Skeleton General as very strange.

The Skeleton General had never felt lonely in the decades he had stayed here before.

But now, less than half a day after Lu Wuyi had left, he was overwhelmed by a sense of loneliness like never before.

He couldn’t even explain why himself.

Yet, the reason was actually quite simple: he had experienced companionship.

Before Lu Wuyi had arrived, guarding this place meant nothing special to the Skeleton General; it seemed as though he was born to stand here, never thinking of leaving or finding the life here boring.

Because for him, this was normal.

But with Lu Wuyi’s arrival, his normality was disrupted.

His plain days were interrupted with conversations, battles, and sharing some bizarre things.

Although the Skeleton General was initially uncomfortable, he had come to enjoy it after a fortnight.

However, once the Skeleton General got used to having someone around, that person suddenly left.

He returned to the normality he had known for decades.

Under these circumstances, it was natural to feel a bit lonely.

However, since Lu Wuyi had just left, the sense of loneliness was bearable and didn’t severely affect him, but the seed of loneliness had been planted. Once planted, that seed was bound to sprout and eventually grow into a towering tree.

He still had a long life ahead of him.

However, there seemed to be no future for him here.

Right after Lu Wuyi left the Changping Secret Realm, a figure appeared inside the base and, after obtaining the information he desired from someone inside, strode into the Secret Realm, heading directly for the Land of Burial.

The moment this person set foot on the Land of Burial, the Skeleton General’s Pupil Fire flickered,

"Yo, found you, is it you?"

At the same time, Feng Xiu’s figure appeared in front of the Skeleton General, his lips slightly curling as he looked at the Skeleton General before him.

The Skeleton General’s Pupil Fire flickered, puzzled and not understanding the situation of the person before him. If this had been before Lu Wuyi’s arrival, he might have just chopped at him directly, but now, he was much gentler, with curiosity and confusion flickering in his Pupil Fire.

At that moment, the other party said, "I heard you got along quite well with Lu Wuyi over the past month?"

Hearing Lu Wuyi’s name mentioned, the Skeleton General thought it was Lu Wuyi’s friend and his Pupil Fire brightened, nodding in response.

Seeing this, Feng Xiu’s smile widened.

"It seems you got along quite well, that’s good. So, I would like to borrow something from you, would you mind parting with it?"

The Skeleton General’s Pupil Fire flickered, filled with confusion.

Feng Xiu did not explain, instead, he reached straight toward the Skeleton General’s head.

At that moment, feeling an unprecedented threat, the Skeleton General’s Pupil Fire went cold, and he immediately activated his "Skeleton Commander" and "Military Formation" Talents, causing his Combat Power to soar straight from King Level 0 Star to King Level 2 Star.

Simultaneously, the Skeleton General’s Longsword was raised.

His Grandmaster Level "Slaughter Sword" charged up, unleashing a terrifying surge of killing intent, which like unstoppable waves, struck at Feng Xiu.

"Hmm, quite impressive, pity, there’s still a gap between us, though."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xiu’s hand landed on the nape of the Skeleton General’s neck and a soft ’snap’ was heard.

In an instant, the Skeleton General’s overwhelming killing intent and momentum dissipated completely.

His head was also quickly scooped up by Feng Xiu.

The Skeleton General, whom Lu Wuyi had failed to defeat even after half a month at 0 Star state, was thus beheaded in one blow.

Playing with the skull in his hand, Feng Xiu said profoundly, "There are some things you have to face. You will eventually have to face them.

Avoidance can’t solve problems, it only exacerbates them, making the price you must pay heavier and heavier.

The cost that has been brewing for a month, I wonder if you can bear it."

With these words, Feng Xiu disappeared from the spot, vanishing with the Skeleton General’s skeleton and equipment.

Moments later, a series of orderly footsteps arose.

The Skeleton General’s Army surrounded the site from all sides,

Among them, a Lord Level Skeleton Commander walked up to where the Skeleton General had been slain, scooped up a handful of earth, and placed this handful of earth on a small bloody mound.

Then, the entire Skeleton Army fell into a deep slumber.
