He shook those thoughts out of his head in the end since it wasn't the time for that now.

It was clear that these skeletons were heading towards the city and towards them.

While they didn't know what kind of goal these skeletons had, it was hard to imagine that they would just leave them alone. So they had to figure out a way to deal with these skeletons if Momonga couldn't control them.

To the side both Angela and Yuki looked like they were getting ready for a fight, but Lin Fan quickly stopped them.

It would be a waste of energy to fight them and that would be considered the last option to them. After all, if they were to fight here, it would just delay them from their mission.

Lin Fan couldn't help turning to Momonga to ask, "Do you know why you can't control them?"

Momonga shook his head at first, but then he gave a nod before saying, "It's strange…It's just like when we first came to this world, there was a strange energy that filled this air. That strange energy is also in those skeletons controlling them. It's completely different from the normal death laws that I use to control the undead."

After a pause, he added, "The laws that are controlling these skeletons are like the darkness laws that I control, but…there's something strange mixed into it. It's almost like a form of a grudge against the living."

"Grudge against the living?" Lin Fan couldn't help repeating.

Just what had happened in this world that such a thing existed?

He couldn't help feeling more and more uneasy about this place that the system had sent him.

So without hesitation, he decided to abandon searching the city and continue down the path that the system had set for him.

It was just a good thing that the skeleton horde was coming from the side that they had entered from. As long as they left by the opposite side, they would be able to continue on that path.

But when they arrived on the other side of the city, they found…

There was another skeleton horde charging at the city from that side as well.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan's group started moving around the edges of the city looking for a way out, but they found that there were two more skeleton hordes coming from the left and right as well.

It seemed like they were completely surrounded.

There were holes in between the four skeleton hordes and there wasn't a complete blockade around them, but if they tried to break out through these gaps, they would definitely be noticed by the skeletons. At that time, they wouldn't be just attacked by a single horde, but two different hordes at the same time.

So their best option now was to break through one of the hordes or find a place to hide in the city.

Angela and Yuki looked like they were ready to fight since these skeletons were their natural enemies to begin with, but Lin Fan stopped them in the end.

He didn't want to waste time fighting his way through hordes of skeletons, not to mention that it would be a waste of energy. It was unknown what other enemies would be hiding in this world, so they didn't have the energy to waste on these skeletons.

At the same time, they couldn't see through the cultivation levels of these skeletons.

It was a strange feeling, but it was like there was something obscuring them from scanning these skeletons with their spiritual senses.

Even the aura of the skeletons were subdued, so they couldn't get an accurate read of them.

So after thinking for a bit, Lin Fan decided to hide inside one of the houses and see what the skeletons were up to.

With him and Momonga working together, it should be easy for them to hide themselves.

So they bunkered down in the first house that they explored since this was the house that they had made their base in while exploring the city.

It didn't take long for the skeletons to make their way into the city.

To their surprise, the skeletons didn't just wander around the city like they had thought, but rather they all went certain routes as if they already knew where they were going.

All of them started heading towards the houses that were spread out across the city.

There were also quite a few that headed towards the large buildings that were scattered around the city. It was almost as if there was something in these buildings that attracted all of these skeletons.

But they didn't let their guard down since there was one that also went into the building that they were currently in.

Lin Fan's group was currently hiding out on the second floor since they wanted a place where they could access the roof whenever they wanted. After all, it was safer to escape using the roof than running around on the ground covered in skeletons.

But the skeleton headed right up to the second floor without hesitation.

When they saw this, they immediately went into a corner to hide themselves.

They watched as the skeleton came up to the second floor and didn't even look around as its eyes fell onto the jade bed right away. It walked over to the jade bed and then laid down on it before becoming inactive.

They just watched the skeleton lay there for a few minutes.

It didn't move at all as if it had been deactivated by something.

Momonga wasn't even able to sense any of the strange laws that he felt before in the air.

Seeing that it wasn't doing anything and that they couldn't stay here, they started moving again.

It was just a few centimeters at first, but seeing that the skeleton didn't react at all, they slowly came closer and closer to look at it more closely.

The skeleton just continued lying there as if it didn't notice a thing.

Finally, they had crossed halfway across the room and could see the skeleton more clearly.

This skeleton looked like the normal skeleton of a human, but there was something different about it as well.

On the skull, on the forehead, there was another hole that was just like the two eye holes below it. It was as if when this skeleton was still alive, it had a third eye right on its forehead.

Lin Fan looked at Momonga after seeing this who responded with a shake of his head.

He had done plenty of research into the different creatures of this universe, but he had never heard of a human with three eyes before…

He was tempted to come even closer and take a closer look at this skeleton, but before he could move closer, the skeleton suddenly sat up in the ice jade bed.

When they saw this, Lin Fan's group immediately froze.

However, none of them panicked since they had Momonga's dark laws and Lin Fan's shadow laws around them.

They didn't believe that this skeleton would be able to see through them.

The skeleton looked around for a minute before suddenly turning in their direction, looking right at them.

Seeing this, Lin Fan's group couldn't help jolting since the scene of a skeleton suddenly looking at them like this was quite terrifying.

Still, they didn't panic since they had faith in the powers of the laws hiding them.

After all, Momonga was a true Ruler.

He wasn't holding his powers back since they were now in a cultivation realm far away from any human civilizations.

The power of a veteran Ruler like Momonga was not something that could be looked down on.

However…the skeleton suddenly raised its bony hand and pointed at them with a single finger.

Then before any of them could react, the skeleton suddenly started screaming.

This scream was like the scream of a banshee, eerie and shrill. It cut right into their eardrums and it felt like they were about to get knocked out from this scream alone.

However, they were able to hold on in the end.

There was no doubt about it, the skeleton was somehow able to see through their camouflage and see them!

Lin Fan quickly looked out the window and he found that there were other skeletons coming out of the other buildings. The direction that they were heading in was the building that they were currently in.

If they wasted more time here, they would surely be surrounded.

So he quickly went over with Momonga to the exit to the roof to secure it while Angela and Yuki sent their fists flying at the skeleton.

Lin Fan didn't stop them this time since they had already been discovered.

Since they had been discovered, it was better to destroy this one that was telling the other skeletons their current location.

Angela and Yuki didn't punch the skeleton with their fists, but rather used the force from their fist to destroy the skeleton.

There was no resistance at all from the skeleton as the force hit it and it was scattered into pieces of bone.

Angela and Yuki couldn't help being surprised by this since they felt that the skeleton wasn't that weak, but since it was destroyed, there was no need to think too much about it.

They quickly turned to head up to the roof with Lin Fan and Momonga.

However, before they could get up there, there was a skeletal hand that grabbed their leg that caught them off guard.

Turning around, they saw that it was the same skeleton that they had destroyed, but it had somehow reformed itself.
