Taking the rat skin handed to him, Gu Xi carefully examined it. The front of the rat skin didn’t seem different, but on the back was a full set of recipes and requirements for all the foods at the banquet.

As he received the rat skin, a voice sounded in Gu Xi’s ear.

[Ding! You’ve discovered a mission item. You can activate a temporary quest!]

[Temporary Quest: Plague Feast]

[Quest Description: Arrange a plague feast according to the recipes and requirements!]

[Quest Requirements: Recipe Completion (0/12), Hold Plague Feast (0/1)]

[Quest Reward: The blessing of the plague guests (determined by the quality of the food and the completion of the banquet).]

[Note 1: Food brought by rats, no matter how delicious, carries the plague.]

[Note 2: Plague and death are twins; only death can follow in the footsteps of the plague.]

Looking at the temporary quest in front of him, Gu Xi couldn’t help but sigh. It seems that after promoting, everything has changed.

Various side tasks have fallen one by one.

The plague paired well with death, but Gu Xi did not walk the path of an undead necromancer focused on plagues.

If this landed in Liu Kai’s hands, it might be a treasure, but for Gu Xi, it’s somewhat of a waste.

Rolling up the rat skin, Gu Xi considered whether to ask Liu Kai if he wanted this task after going out this time. If he did, then let him exchange it with purple armor.

While considering this, Gu Xi listened to the reports from his subordinates about the battle.

The biggest gain for Gu Xi this time was not those stainless steel stoves or the gigantic food.

What truly satisfied Gu Xi was the chefs who kept coming in waves to die.

12,000 level 7s died, 6,000 level 6s died, 3,000 level 5s died, and 6,000 below level 4 died in total.

Even without the soul summoning skill, Yalidu City immediately had 27,000 more undead.

Not to mention Gu Xi used the soul summoning skill to complete two summons, adding 14,000 various level 4 undead, along with over 10,000 corpses.

It’s fair to say, just like that, discounting other factors, Yalidu City alone gained over 50,000 new undead corps.

These undead filled the population gap Yalidu City was severely lacking.

I’m sure Luna must be quite happy now.

After all, Luna had always been worried about Yalidu City being so large but having a sparse population.

Adding over 50,000 people now, I’m sure Yalidu City’s population will soon be bustling.

Just as Gu Xi was pondering this matter, Shaya, who had run ahead to explore as soon as the battle ended, came running back.

"My lord, there’s no way ahead."

"What?"

Gu Xi couldn’t help but jump up when he heard this.

No way ahead?

Could it be that he took the wrong direction?

Gu Xi became anxious and began looking up and down.

Is the passage leading somewhere else?

While thinking about it, Gu Xi asked, "What do you mean by no way ahead? Have we reached the end?"

"Yes, the situation outside is strange, my lord, come and have a look."

At this point, Gu Xi couldn’t care less and, together with the Bone Titan and Ghost Dragon, followed Shaya.

They bypassed the now empty kitchen and pushed open the door at the back.

As the door opened, Gu Xi finally understood what Shaya meant by no way ahead.

Outside the door was a huge balcony, roughly the size of five football fields.

But what truly surprised Gu Xi was not that, but the blue sky, white clouds, and the strong wind blowing in directly beyond the balcony.

It’s clear that Gu Xi and his party had reached the periphery of the Evil God Hall; that kitchen was the end of the corridor after the door he’d managed to open.

"What is going on here? Do I have to go up or down?"

Gu Xi hesitated for a moment and decisively commanded, "Ghost Dragon, fly out and see if there’s a staircase nearby that can be climbed."

The Ghost Dragon flew out decisively but hadn’t gone a few meters before a strong wind blew, smashing the Ghost Dragon heavily against the nearby wall.

This collision was no joke; the Ghost Dragon fell apart and lay on the ground, unable to rise for quite a while.

The Bone Titan ran over to the Ghost Dragon and poked its eye socket with a bone spear, seemingly wanting to see if the Ghost Dragon was dead or alive.

And at this moment, Gu Xi understood that the falling Evil God Hall might look slow when viewed from the sky, but that was because its position was high.

In reality, this thing was moving as fast as a meteor, it was ridiculously fast.

Forget flying out; even reaching the balcony’s edge might see one blown away by the wind.

Now Gu Xi found himself without a viable solution. Was this the end of the road?

Should he go back and see if he missed any doors along the way?

But that doesn’t seem right. Would the Ghost Squad miss an area when they move? It’s illogical.

Just as Gu Xi was feeling a bit lost about where to go, he suddenly looked up and saw a giant, red-haired, furry finger lodged in the upper wall of the balcony.

Gu Xi paused for a moment, then took out a small box from his pocket, holding it between his fingers.

He lifted the box above his head and examined it from every angle.

Soon Gu Xi realized that the finger belonged to the red-haired Minotaur Lida Scroll he had seen when entering this world.

This Evil God Hall was precisely where it had placed its hand into the Studesstrup World.

Defeating the three bosses in the Evil God Hall leads ultimately to this balcony, establishing the target as the finger holding the hall.

As long as the finger is dealt with, the Evil God Hall will not descend slowly but fall into the Studesstrup World abruptly.

This might trigger an earthquake or catastrophe like a massive explosion.

But that is definitely better than the hall settling and establishing.

Gu Xi pondered for a moment, unsure how Fang Kang and the others were faring in their fight.

He considered whether to inform Fang Kang and his team.

However, just as Gu Xi was about to turn back, he hesitated.

Gu Xi sighed; notifying Fang Kang was one thing, but there was no way to inform Li Dangna and Yuan Xihua.

Their conflict was more intense than a life-and-death enmity.

They would certainly have heavy troops guarding against any sneak attacks on their rear defenses.

Going over now would likely see him treated as an enemy.

Better to wait for the appointed time; for now, Gu Xi planned to see if there was a way to strike at the finger in the sky.
