Chapter 47: City of Death, Skeleton Warrior
Ten minutes later, Liu Yao emerged from his tomb, looking bewildered. "Where's Zhang Yue?"
Li Xiaoyao, pushing up his silver-framed glasses, thought for a moment and said, "He's gone."
"We were wrong," he continued, analyzing the situation. "We thought Zhang Yue was going to use the [Heart of the Demon] to deal with the Killer Mercenary Group. But in reality, he used it to withstand Reaper Caesar's attacks."
"That way, he could use the ten-minute window during Reaper Caesar's invasion to escape from the Killer Mercenary Group and leave the Necropolis."
"Yao-ge, he's left us behind to fend for ourselves and went out to level up alone," Li Xiaoyao added. "Xiao's side mentioned that they lack the materials, so crafting another [Heart of the Demon] would take at least a week."
"We're stuck here, doomed to wait for death inside the Necropolis."
Liu Yao collapsed to his knees, stunned by the reality of the situation.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Zhang Yue had already left the Necropolis, heading toward the City of Death, which was home to level 25 to 28 monsters.
Ten minutes later, he reached his destination.
Before him stood a dilapidated city, shrouded in darkness, exuding a heavy aura of death. Crows circled above the ruins.
