The Iron Monster stood tall, its entire body clad in metallic armor. It held a long, curved blade and knelt in the center of the hall, as if shielding the stone coffin behind it.

From a distance, it created a sense of oppression.

“Any problems? Should we call more people over?” Fang Hao turned his head and whispered.

“Do you think I, a 7th rank hero, can’t defeat this 7th rank soldier?” Anjia scoffed.

True enough, in the previous two regions, most of the Stone Monsters were defeated by Anjia.

It was only Fang Hao’s insistence that the Energy Cores were valuable that made her hold back.

Up to this point, she remained unscathed.

“So, you’re taking up this one?” Fang Hao said.

“Sure, it irritates me,” Anjia flexed her fingers, brimming with battle intent.

Fang Hao nodded without further ado.

If Anjia could defeat it, well and good. If any danger arose, he still had time to send all their soldiers for rescue.

Once they agreed on everything, they proceeded into the region.

The Iron Monster, which had been kneeling, began to shake, scattering accumulated dust.

Laboriously, like a piece of machinery, it gradually stood, lifting its curved blade.

Anjia advanced step by step, bobbing her head as if about to enter a boxing match.

As they approached each other, the battle started.

Thud!

The Iron Monster’s curved blade came down onto Anjia’s head. In a swift pivot, she dodged the attack, landing a punch at the Monster’s waist.

Boom!

Enormous energy ripped through the air, dust flying.

The Iron Monster’s armor instantly sunk in at the waist.

Feeling the attack, the Monster turned around, once again raising its blade.

Anjia’s second and third punches rained down, relentlessly slamming into the Monster’s body like raindrops.

The Iron Monster stumbled back again and again. By the time it steadied itself, its armor was dented and uneven, a pitiful sight.

And yet—

As an Iron Statue, it neither knew fear nor death.

Once again standing up, it gaped open its mouth, energy beginning to coagulate.

Energy rays as thick as a spear shot out from its mouth. The rays, filled with terrifying power, were aimed directly at Anjia.

This unexpected move left both Anjia and Fang Hao stunned.

This Iron Monster could fight from a distance.

Anjia, not daring to take a direct hit, did a somersault to escape.

Swiftly, she charged towards the Iron Monster, leaping high, her bloody fangs on display.

Boom!

With a roar, the entire hall shook. The Iron Monster’s head was seemingly wrenched off by a colossal force, cleanly breaking off at the neck and flying off. Roll, roll!

The Iron Monster’s head rolled to Fang Hao’s feet, sparks flashing from its mouth.

Anjia thrust her hand into the Iron Monster’s chest, extracting its Energy Core, and threw it to Fang Hao.

He promptly stashed it in his backpack.

Leading a group of skeletons, they stepped over the Iron Monster’s corpse and headed straight towards the stone coffin.

The stone coffin seemed to have been carved from a natural rock. Its base connected with the mountain itself.

Whether due to earth crust movement or an earthquake…

A huge crack had split open the stone coffin. Half of the coffin had collapsed under the weight of the rocks.

“Open it,” Fang Hao commanded.

A few skeletons stepped forward, working together to push open the remaining half of the coffin lid, revealing the coffin’s interior.

Inside the coffin was mostly empty, with only black residues and stains outlining a human figure.

Over time, the body itself had completely rotted away.

“Damn it, there’s not even a body. What a loss!” Fang Hao cursed under his breath.

“Search around, gather everything that can be carried, and peel off the Iron Monster’s skin as well.” Fang Hao continued issuing orders.

He couldn’t let this journey be in vain. Even if the coffin was empty, there were still jewelry and treasure chests hidden around.

All the skeletons dispersed at once, beginning to scour for items.

Lanterns, Nightstones, intact utensils, and jewelry were all collected.

Once everything was gathered, they prepared to leave.

At last, one of the skeletons found a golden treasure chest and brought it directly to Fang Hao.

Just as Fang Hao was about to open the chest, a scolding echoed from a distance.

“Looking for death.”

Fang Hao quickly glanced over and saw Anjia springing towards a dark corner, throwing punches at it.

Boom!

Dust and debris flew in the dark corner.

A transparent female figure floated out from the shadows, hovering in midair, glaring at everyone.

The woman had distinct features and an attractive figure.

However, she hovered in the air, translucent throughout and looked like a ghost straight out of a movie.

[Wandering Spirit (Rank 3)]

A ghost?

A real specter.

All the skeleton soldiers rushed towards Fang Hao swiftly, readying for a battle.

“Wait….”

As everyone was preparing for the battle, the female ghost abruptly drifted backwards and said aloud.

Her voice had an ethereal quality to it.

“Hold your attack, let’s see what she has to say,” Fang Hao directly commanded.

Anjia stopped mid-charge, but maintained her steely gaze on the Shadow Spirit.

“Lord of the Undead, I am just a lonely spirit born within this ancient tomb. I do not wish for conflict with you. You may take any item from here as you please,” the ghost pleaded hastily.

She had witnessed the entire battle from a dark corner.

She was well aware that with her rank 3 strength, she would stand no chance against this team or rather, the female hero.

The items in the tomb had no use to her. If they wanted to take them, she would let them.

Hearing her words, Fang Hao paused in surprise.

This rank 3 Shadow Spirit could speak, an indication of high-level intelligence. Communication with her was entirely normal.

“Are you the spirit of the body in the coffin, or did you come afterwards?” Fang Hao inquired.

“I apologize, my Lord. I found myself here when I awakened, with no past memories,” the ghost replied.

If she awoke here, she must be the spirit of the body in the stone coffin.

“You don’t mind us taking the items here?” Fang Hao asked curiously.

“Not at all. At the same time, I hope, my Lord, you will allow me to join you, to lead me out of here,” the ghost continued.

This unexpected request left Fang Hao taken aback.

The ghost had clearly given the matter a lot of thought.

Being a spirit of the Undead, but not particularly strong, she dared not approach the Iron Monster even while living in the tomb.

During the battle between Fang Hao’s team and the Monster, she had thought hard about her predicament.

Answering the desire to live and leave this cave…

Why not seize the opportunity to join an Undead force? It was at least a kind of backing and a chance of development.

“You want to leave with me?”

“Yes, my Lord. I offer all my faith and loyalty to serve you until the day I die,” the ghost replied, floating in the air before going down on one knee.

Her memory might have gone, but her intelligence remained intact.

These words of hers sounded like a formal declaration, an official one at that. “I cannot fully trust you based on your words alone. I have a Slave Contract in my possession. If you don’t mind signing it, I could promise to protect you.. Once your actions prove your loyalty, I can cancel the Slave Contract,” Fang Hao looked at the ghost and asked, “Are you willing?”
