346: The boy in the room

It was at this moment that the ten Berserker Undead, who had jumped away, suddenly returned.

Previously, their attacks could only leave marks on the Giant Beast Skeletons, but now they could leave deep gashes.

Judgment of the End did not have much damage capability, but it had the effect of nullifying all powerful defenses.

Like the Earth Vein Giant before, after two consecutive Judgments of the End, it could only become a sandbag, cowering and taking hits.

In the face of the Death Qi falling like a waterfall, any defensive measure would be worn away and become extremely fragile.

However, there were also drawbacks: this skill had a long preparation time and could not change targets once cast.

But these were not problems; Gu Qinghan could use other methods to compensate for these shortcomings.

Now, it was his time to counterattack!

The Filth Blood Warlocks all used the Crow King's clones to get close to the still-stuck Giant Beast Skeletons, unleashing their skills.

After the previous battle, the number of their blood beads had noticeably decreased.

However, when the skills of hundreds of Filth Blood Warlocks took effect simultaneously, they still unleashed powerful destructive force.

Bang bang bang!

A series of explosions sounded, shattering the skeletons inside the bodies of the Giant Beast Skeletons.

Even some weakened bone structures broke under this continuous bombardment.

"How do we kill it! These Giant Beast Skeletons are still struggling!"

The Filth Blood Warlocks had fewer and fewer skills to release, and though the Giant Beast Skeletons were half-gone, they still didn't stop struggling.

The cracks on the bone hand were increasing, clearly indicating it was about to give way.

"I don't know! Each Giant Beast Skeletons has a different weakness, which is why I said they are the most disgusting existence in the Burial Ground!"

The Scarlet Witch immediately shouted, but was quickly forced to shut her mouth by the Giant Beast Skeletons chasing her.

Gu Qinghan had nothing to say; he could only rely on luck.

The bone hand shattered with a crash, but the already tattered Giant Beast Skeletons swayed, still attempting to charge.

Gu Qinghan cursed under his breath, and the re-charged Giants Grasp was used again.

A bone hand slammed the clearly severely injured Giant Beast Skeletons to the ground, crushing its body.

Then, it wildly hammered it.

Just as the Bear King's vitality was gradually bottoming out, the Giant Beast Skeletons finally stiffened and transformed into a massive white light.

Seeing this, Gu Qinghan quickly retrieved all his subordinates.

The harvest from this trip was excellent; even his subordinates had reached their limit.

It was time to go back.

"This time, let's see what it feels like to be run over..."

Gu Qinghan suddenly had this strange thought, and then he actually put away the Crow King and fell from the sky.

Landing on the shattered bones, Gu Qinghan felt as if he was being cut by a thousand small knives.

He had just stood up when he was sent flying by a Giant Beast Skeletons rushing from behind.

Gu Qinghan's body twisted into an odd posture, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.

His vision went dark in mid-air, and when he woke up again, he was back in the Necropolis.

"Before this teleportation, didn't I tell you I could directly teleport you back?"

The Guardian's expression was a bit strange; he didn't understand Gu Qinghan's behavior just now.

After all, before this teleportation, he had specifically reminded Gu Qinghan that he could tell him when he couldn't hold on anymore.

Although he wouldn't attack, he could spare him the torment of one death.

Gu Qinghan stood up from the ground and spoke again after his heartbeat had calmed down a bit:

"It's nothing, I just wanted to try what it feels like to die under different circumstances.

I don't want to die, but if one day I must die, then I hope I can face it calmly."

Upon hearing this, the Guardian suddenly fell silent.

After a long while, he asked Gu Qinghan:

"With the God of Death backing you, do you still think you will die?"

Gu Qinghan shrugged, saying indifferently:

"Although that's true, what I have to face is the hostility of an unknown number of gods.

Now that I'm on this pirate ship, I can only go all the way to the end; there's no other way."

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Gu Qinghan looked up and shouted loudly into the Necropolis:

"I didn't mean to say you were bad; I meant that the strong are always lonely."

The Guardian was stunned, then burst into laughter.

He knew that Gu Qinghan had suddenly realized that the God of Death could hear all sounds in the Necropolis.

"It's alright, the God of Death said that he is indeed not a good thing.

After all, to many people, death is a very terrifying thing, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Gu Qinghan gently shook his head and said:

"I used to think that death was truly terrifying.

But as the game progressed, I found that death and death are actually not the same."

Gu Qinghan had said this before, but he repeated it again now.

A fleeting glint appeared in the Guardian's eyes, then quickly faded.

He smiled and clapped his hands, saying:

"What a statement, 'death and death are not the same,' I wholeheartedly agree with that.

Alright, there's no point staying here anymore, you should go back."

Gu Qinghan nodded, but still searched the area he could move in within the Necropolis, and only after not finding any bone equipment did he walk out of the Necropolis's main gate.

Watching Gu Qinghan's somewhat disappointed figure gradually disappear into the black mist, the Guardian also chuckled and shook his head.

He turned around, looked at the end of the red carpet, and murmured:

"Lord God of Death, did you hear that?

He said that death and death are actually not the same."

...Gu Qinghan's body reappeared in his room in Shangjing Base; only a few hours had passed since he left.

The corpses on the ground had disappeared, clearly having been devoured for energy by the Source Worm, and then eaten clean.

However, he searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of the Source Worm.

"Could it have eaten itself to death?"

Gu Qinghan mumbled softly, but he could still feel the connection between himself and the Source Worm.

The door was still locked from the inside, with no signs of forced entry.

Moreover, if someone could infiltrate a room in the core area of Shangjing Base, then Shangjing Base would truly become a joke.

Gu Qinghan turned to continue searching for the Source Worm in the room, and as soon as he turned, he suddenly froze.

When he returned to the room, he was sitting on the edge of the bed and hadn't paid much attention to the situation on the bed.

Upon turning his head, he actually found a small boy lying on the bed.

The little boy was stark naked, spread-eagled in the middle of the bed, sound asleep.

What made Gu Qinghan's brow twitch the most was that this little boy looked seven or eight parts like him!

"Wake up! Who are you?"
