Chapter 107: Blood Bride on the Snowfield
Thud!
Thud!
Intense vibrations occasionally sounded. Gu Xi woke up groggily. His mana had mostly recovered during his sleep, and his head no longer ached as it had when his mana was drained.
Gu Xi looked around to assess the situation.
He found that the Evil Coffin had taken him out of the Ice Web Valley and was now heading towards the vast plains leading to the Dispersed Immortal Garden.
Like other parts of this world, the plains ahead were covered in thick snow.
In some places, the snow was so hardened that the Evil Coffin moved over it with a speed that felt like flying.
The intense vibrations were due to the Evil Coffin constantly changing directions, even leaping over impassable areas.
Lying on the lid of the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi watched for a while before realizing that the Evil Coffin seemed to be avoiding something.
Remembering the ambush earlier, Gu Xi quickly reacted.
He gently patted the coffin lid. "Confirm the direction. I will release the Death Incarnation."
The Evil Coffin, which had brought Gu Xi here while he was asleep, had a certain level of intelligence.
As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, the Evil Coffin turned its head towards a specific spot in the snow.
Supporting his body with one hand, Gu Xi drew the Staff of Destruction with the other and pointed it in the direction ahead of the Evil Coffin.
"Death Incarnation!"
At Gu Xi's command, black mist instantly burst from the Staff of Destruction. The enhanced Death Incarnation spread its wings and charged forward.
Without waiting for Gu Xi's command, the Evil Coffin quickly followed at an extreme speed.
The speed nearly threw Gu Xi off the coffin lid. Fortunately, Gu Xi reacted quickly and clung to the lid, preventing himself from being thrown off.
Once Gu Xi steadied himself, he saw the surroundings clearly. The Evil Coffin had detoured because the snowfield was filled with powerful enemies.
These enemies were lurking in the snow, invisible until approached.
Blocking Gu Xi's path now was a red wedding procession.
They marched with loud music and drums, their blood-red team forming a stark contrast with the white snow.
But Gu Xi was more curious about how they had hidden themselves.
It wasn't until Gu Xi was within a thousand meters of the procession that they suddenly appeared on the snow.
It was highly unusual.
The Death Incarnation didn't care about the logic. As soon as the enemies appeared, it transformed into high-speed black mist and charged into the procession.
During the assault, Gu Xi noticed something odd about the procession.
Leading the procession was a groom riding a blood-red skeleton horse. He wore a red robe, a large blood-red flower on his chest, and a white baboon skin draped over his legs for warmth.
In his left hand, he held over a dozen red threads.
Behind him were more than a dozen blood-red bridal sedans, each carried by porters and accompanied by maids and bridesmaids, with porters carrying dowries.
Gu Xi could tell at a glance that the groom was the leader and the brides in the sedans were his source of power.
"Death Incarnation, attack!"
Gu Xi patted the coffin lid, quickly took out a bottle of magic potion, and put it to his lips.
However, this time the city gate of the Death City did not appear behind Gu Xi.
He did not plan to fight here. The snowfield was full of dangers, and Gu Xi was unsure if new enemies would appear if a battle started.
Gu Xi remembered his mission clearly.
Deliver five powerful undead troops to the Dispersed Immortal Garden.
With only a short distance left, Gu Xi couldn't afford to fail the mission here.
At Gu Xi's command, the Death Incarnation immediately charged at the groom. This time, it did not use Death Breath but glared with its right eye, releasing a dissolving ray towards the groom.
Just as the dissolving ray shot out, the groom's finger twitched, and a bride in red wedding attire flew out from the sedan, blocking the ray.
The dissolving ray melted the bride instantly, leaving only a blood-red wedding dress.
But what happened next left Gu Xi speechless.
A matchmaker who had been following the sedan stepped forward, picked up the blood-red dress, and entered the sedan.
It was clear that the matchmaker had replaced the slain bride, becoming another bride for the groom.
Faced with this situation, the Death Incarnation didn't hesitate. It glared again, shooting another dissolving ray.
The groom was enraged. With a wave of his hand, seven brides in red wedding attire leaped out from the sedans, attacking the Death Incarnation with their hands.
But the Death Incarnation was not easy to defeat.
Its body could resist 75% of physical attacks.
In other words, out of ten punches, only three would have any effect.
And if the Death Incarnation was lucky, it could be completely immune.
Moreover, when the Death Incarnation transformed into black mist, it would tear and devour everything around it.
The brides attacking the Death Incarnation were quickly torn to pieces by the black mist.
Judging by the speed at which they were defeated, these brides were only at level 4 or 5. The groom was the key, and the brides were merely tools.
Gu Xi understood this, and so did the Death Incarnation. It turned its body and charged into the wedding procession, tearing a path with its black mist.
"Forward!"
Seeing the Death Incarnation gaining the upper hand, Gu Xi heavily patted the coffin lid.
The Evil Coffin understood Gu Xi's meaning. Without hesitation, it accelerated to its maximum speed, rushing through the path the Death Incarnation had torn.
As the Evil Coffin entered the wedding procession, Gu Xi's vision was filled with red silk, his ears with the sound of suona, and he couldn't tell if it was a wedding or a funeral. He even smelled the aroma of food and wine.
Gu Xi almost wanted to get off the Evil Coffin and have a drink.
Luckily, the Evil Coffin was unaffected, crashing through the enemies and breaking out from the other side of the procession.
