Chapter 1011 - 1009: Death Storm
Curse!
The White Bone Obelisk carrier did not perform any rituals like Mr. Guo did.
Though offerings would surely be added later, the actions were clearly much quicker.
Moreover, he didn’t need to say anything; with just a thought, he could activate the power of the White Bone Obelisk.
The moment the White Bone Obelisk carrier emerged, he noticed something was wrong in front of him.
Gu Xi was being locked onto, precisely due to the power of the White Bone Obelisk.
The key to ensuring Gu Xi wouldn’t be captured was to prevent him from being locked onto.
Such tasks were what the White Bone Obelisk excelled at.
Disruption, after all, could just be solved with a curse.
So the carrier placed a curse, and Gu Xi could clearly feel the arms reaching for him veering considerably.
At this moment, Gu Xi felt much more at ease; with the current speed, he should be able to dodge.
But just then, the White Bone Obelisk carrier orchestrated another major action.
The White Bone Obelisk carrier could clearly feel that behind the purple shadow lay a similar power source.
That was where the genuine White Bone Obelisk was located.
The carrier actually wanted to directly charge over and seize the opposing White Bone Obelisk.
Even if unsuccessful, he aimed to destroy the genuine one on the opposite side.
So after the first curse had temporarily rescued Gu Xi from trouble, the White Bone Obelisk carrier acted again.
A second curse was cast.
Under this curse, Gu Xi himself did not sense anything unusual.
But the arms extending from the purple shadow didn’t share the same opinion.
They seemed to have lost their target, grasping aimlessly in all directions.
The White Bone Obelisk carrier didn’t know why he acted this way; he just felt it was beneficial for Gu Xi.
As the White Bone Obelisk carrier made his move, Gu Xi felt a sense that he stood too high.
Even though he didn’t know how this feeling arose.
But Gu Xi trusted his current level of perception.
This was the perception that had brought him here from the maze.
Gu Xi was willing to believe in his judgment.
So after dodging a few arms, he ignored the other arms still reaching for him and abruptly stopped his high-speed movement.
He lay down flat again just like before.
The moment Gu Xi lay down, he felt a terrifying aura of death emanating from a nearby deep pit.
Gu Xi immediately pressed his head to the ground, using all his mana to protect his body, unwilling to even lift his head.
This burst of the aura of death lasted nearly three minutes before it ended.
During those three minutes, Gu Xi remained lying on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
Previously, Gu Xi had thought that with his promotion to Level 10, with several pieces of Orange Armor, he could walk sideways in Bailian City without issue.
But the aura of death just now made Gu Xi dismiss some of those thoughts.
The aura of death made Gu Xi understand what a Death Storm really meant.
He believed that if he hadn’t lain down early and stayed completely still, any slight mistake would have led to his death.
Once the aura of death faded away, Gu Xi cautiously stood up.
He discovered that the purple shadow from before had completely disappeared, along with the two equipment carriers he had released.
Startled, Gu Xi quickly activated the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp, fearing that his two strongest carriers had perished in the Death Storm.
Fortunately, with Gu Xi’s activation, the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe and the White Bone Obelisk carrier reappeared before him.
Gu Xi noticed that their auras had both changed somewhat.
The Yellow Springs Dragon Robe now had a thick layer of death qi surrounding it, resembling a cloak over the clothing.
Behind the White Bone Obelisk carrier, a phantom image of the Obelisk appeared.
This phantom echoed with the Obelisk he held, though it was unclear what effect this phantom had.
Seeing his two carriers unharmed, Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did Gu Xi begin to examine his surroundings.
Gu Xi noticed that when he had just laid down, a large number of purple crystals had appeared on the walls of the subterranean space beneath the sewer.
These purple crystals looked very familiar to Gu Xi.
They were clearly the same as those dead game world crystals previously thrown into the deep pit below.
Gu Xi cautiously approached the pit and glanced downwards.
Only then did Gu Xi understand what had happened just now.
It turned out that the White Bone Obelisk had used a curse against Mr. Guo’s family, making it impossible for them to recognize Gu Xi’s location.
Coincidentally, this was also the final resting place of the dead game world.
There were too many purple crystals here formed from the dead game world.
The White Bone Obelisk didn’t need to do much—just let those aimlessly grasping arms grab a purple crystal.
The dead game world was taboo wherever it was placed.
If it weren’t impossible to handle, it might have already been shattered and cleaned up.
Mr. Guo only controlled the White Bone Obelisk; he wasn’t a god.
Facing such circumstances, even the strongest wouldn’t be of any help.
Just now, Mr. Guo used the Space-Time Gate to drag a complete purple crystal into the Guo family’s private world.
This dead game world, upon contact with the vibrant game world, erupted on the spot.
The most fatal part was that Mr. Guo had brought it inside himself, making it unstoppable once it started.
As for the other Guo family members, they were too busy to care about this.
Don’t forget, Gu Xi had also released several Ghost Gate Openings before.
Gu Xi himself didn’t know how accurately he’d placed those Ghost Gate Openings; at least four out of six were inside the Guo family’s private world.
Among these four Ghost Gates, two were affected by the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe, enhancing their quality and size.
It could be said that the Guo family’s private world was in chaos.
Most of the Guo family members ready to ambush Gu Xi wielded weapons, battling the wandering spirits emerging from the Ghost Gates.
After all, they had to ensure the strength of Mr. Guo’s plan.
They couldn’t let these unexpected intruders disrupt Mr. Guo’s arrangements.
As a result, they failed to notice what Mr. Guo had dragged out of the Space-Time Gate.
By the time the Gu family realized, the forbidden and dangerous purple crystal had already landed in their private world.
That was precisely when Gu Xi sensed something was wrong and fell to the ground.
