Standing before Gu Sheng's bed, Xiong Pi gazed at his old friend, and in those hollow eye sockets, an unspeakable light shone through.
At this moment, Gu Sheng had long lost his former brilliance; the once crystalline bones now appeared a weathered pale white.
Visible cracks crawled across every part of the skeleton, even on the Skeletons' most crucial "Central Bone," which was riddled with fissures.
That was the soul of the Skeletons, their true "brain."
"I never expected that I would leave in such a way at the end."
With a helpless smile, Gu Sheng's voice sounded so frail at that moment.
"I originally thought I could hold on for a few more years, at least until inviting the Serpent Race to join the alliance."
Xiong Pi glared fiercely at Gu Sheng, never having felt so infuriated by his friend's persistence.
