Chapter 679 Skeletons Killing Array

"Your memory is impressive. But now is not the time to gossip. Lead the way, please! The White Elephant Pagoda must have many traps," Zachary said with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, but considering your strength, you should be able to cope with them. Let's head southeast," Andrew suggested.

With a quick nod, Zachary turned toward the southeast. He knew that the tower would have many traps and that he couldn't act rashly. If he got stuck in one of the traps, he would face dire consequences.

Zachary followed as Andrew navigated through the first floor of the White Elephant Pagoda. After about an hour, he saw stairs leading to the second floor. However, after he neared, he suddenly felt a strong push that prevented him from going to the second floor.

"Boy, release your spiritual soul!" Andrew instructed.

Zachary narrowed his eyes as he released Gisele. When she emerged, the force that blocked him immediately disappeared. He took the chance and climbed the stairs to the second floor.

A strong aura enveloped Zachary as soon as he reached the second floor of the White Elephant Pagoda. While the aura didn't belong to any spiritual soul, the resentment in the aura frightened him. The warriors who had died here were more powerful than those on the first floor. Their trapped spiritual souls harbored strong resentment. After years of accumulation, the resentment grew stronger and became so deep-rooted that it was hard to banish.

The second floor was quite different from the first floor. It was a labyrinth with partitions made from crisscrossed bones, which lent it a macabre air. Not long after he began walking along the bone walls, Zachary heard a hissing sound. Then, purple mist flew toward him from between the bones.

"Be careful. This is poisonous corpse gas. It was condensed after the corpses of those warriors who died here rotted. If you inhale it, your body will gradually decay," Andrew warned Zachary.

"Should I retreat?" Zachary asked as worry coursed through him. He didn't dare to be careless.

"There is no need for that. But, you do need to protect yourself with martial energy. Then you can hold your breath. The poisonous corpse gas gathers fast, but it also dissipates quickly," Andrew explained.

Zachary nodded as he activated his protective martial energy to its maximum level. At the same time, he held his breath and calmed down. Soon, the poisonous corpse gas enveloped him. It surged continually until it had filled the whole space.

About fifteen minutes passed before the poisonous corpse gas started to dissipate. By then, Zachary felt like he was suffocating.

"It's suffocating me." After the poisonous corpse gas completely disappeared, Zachary took several deep breaths. He didn't stop till his lungs felt like they were about to burst. The fresh air he inhaled made him feel like he had been reborn.

With a cautious glance at the macabre walls, Zachary continued to move forward. Along the

nch another attack.

Zachary distanced himself from the two skeletons. This time, he was cautious enough to ensure that there was no danger around him. After his narrow escape, he knew that he couldn't be careless. Before he landed on the ground, he summoned two more avatars. Once they distracted the skeletons in front of him, he would take the opportunity to break through.

After advancing through the Skeletons Killing Array like this for about two hours, Zachary was on the verge of exhaustion. At this time, he spotted the staircase leading to the fourth floor.

"It's so close..." Zachary assessed the two rows of skeletons in front of him. They appeared to be at least at the premium stage of Imperial Level. Disappointment coursed through him when he felt that it would be impossible for him to sneak past them with his current strength.

"Now, Master Andrew, it's your turn to show your abilities," Zachary said to Andrew. He was not foolish enough to continue to clear the way by himself.

Just at this moment, the Holy Bone Bracer on his wrist glowed with blue light. In an instant, an intense blue spiritual soul condensed beside Zachary. The powerful aura emitted from the spiritual soul instantly filled the whole place.

"Just rush past them, and I'll protect you," Andrew instructed Zachary.

With a quick nod and a deep breath, Zachary activated the Shadow Pace and rushed toward the two rows of skeletons. He was so fast that he reached the skeletons before he could exhale.

Several skeletons around Zachary perceived his presence and launched powerful attacks.

"Lion's Furious Roar..." In the next moment, the blue spiritual soul began to glow. With a wave of his hand, Andrew condensed a giant lion shadow that opened its mouth and released a thunderous roar. The roar formed such an astonishing shock wave that it crushed all the skeletons around Zachary.

Thanks to his help, Zachary reached the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
