These three life-saving skills made up for Flanders’s shortcomings.

Flanders was very interested in the back of the Shadow Maze. He would use the shadow king to pass through the Shadow Maze.

“Master, why did you come to the ghost lair? I don’t quite understand.”

The shadow king was very straightforward. He would ask whatever he had in mind. The king of chilly wind did not dare to ask, and the zombie King did not think to ask.

Flanders liked straightforward people like the shadow king. He did not mind answering the shadow king’s questions.

“I came here to unify all the strange creatures!”

.

After hearing the scarecrow’s purpose, the three strange creatures looked at each other. They did not expect that the scarecrow’s ambition would be so great.

How could the strange creatures be unified? For countless years, every time an A+ rank strange creature was born, it would be captured by the mysterious force.

Without a leader, the strange creatures had been scattered all these years.

The three strange creatures were extremely shocked. They did not think highly of the scarecrow. Now, the scarecrow was their master.

It did not matter what they thought. They had to do whatever the scarecrow asked them to do.

“Do you know what is behind the Shadow Maze?”

Flanders wanted to know the situation behind the Shadow Maze.

“Master, behind the Shadow Maze is a dead pool. Anything on the dead pool will sink. It’s impossible to go through.”

This was out of Flanders’s expectations. He originally thought that he could reach the deepest part of the ghost lair after passing through the Shadow Maze.

“Then how did you go through?”

“Master, an hour of cold wind blows over the dead pool every day.”

“The ghosts would ride the wind to cross the pool.”

“Black water strange creatures reside in the dead pool. Without the cold wind, every ghost that crosses the dead pool will be attacked.”

“The ghosts will be dragged to the dead pool by the black water strange creatures. Entering the dead pool is a dead end.”

“The ghosts that die in the dead pool will not be resurrected through the ghost altar.”

“Only after passing the dead pool can we reach the ghost altar.”

After listening to the shadow king’s introduction, Flanders decided to go to the dead pool to take a look.

The dark interior the Shadow Maze was indeed scary and worthy of the name ‘Shadow Maze’.

If Flanders was allowed to walk in the Shadow Maze by himself, he really did not think that he could walk out of the Shadow Maze.

The Shadow Maze might be complicated to outsiders, but it was extremely simple to the shadow king who lived here.

After a few twists and turns, he walked out of the Shadow Maze.

After the Shadow Maze, it was not so dark anymore. There was a kind of magical fungus growing on the ground, emitting a faint fluorescent light.

Although the light was weak, it was enough for Flanders. It did not affect his ability to inspect his surroundings at all.

The dead pool was the bottleneck of the ghost lair. It was the narrowest and smallest place in the entire ghost lair.

The dead pool blocked all the roads. Flanders was not a spirit. Even if the biting cold wind blew, it would not be able to blow Flanders over.

He was too heavy, and the spirits were as light as a feather.

If the wind could not blow him over the water, then he would have to think of another way. This would not be a problem for Flanders.

“Do you guys have any other way to cross this stagnant pool?”

The three strange creatures looked at each other. They really did not know how to cross the stagnant pool.

Seeing the awkward expressions on their faces, Flanders knew that they did not have any other way.

The stagnant pool was not too big. It seemed like they could just jump over it.

“Can we jump over it?”

The three strange creatrures heard that Flanders was going to jump over, and they immediately stopped him.

“Master, you must not be reckless. You can’t jump over the dead pool at all.”

“When master jumps into the air, the black water strange creature in the dead pool will easily pull you to the bottom of the dead pool.”

“No one has ever seen coming out from the dead pool.”

So, he could not jump across, and the wind could not blow him across.

This dead pool did not seem to protect strange creatures. It seemed to be on guard against outsiders.

The more Flanders thought about it, the more he felt that the appearance of this dead pool was strange.

The ghost lair was one of the most unpopular of the seven great lands of strange creatures.

There was no other reason. The ghost strange creatures here could not leave the ghost lair.

Even if someone caught the ghosts, after leaving the ghost lair for a certain distance, the ghosts would disappear.

The mages would not receive any benefits. After a long time, they stopped coming to the ghost lair.

And the ghosts in the ghost lair had not seen humans for a long time.

This was also the reason why the two low-rank ghosts were extremely excited when they saw Flanders. They devoured human souls and drank human blood.

Finally, they possessed human bodies, and the ghosts could leave the ghost cave temporarily.

However, this was only a temporary measure.

Human bodies lost their blood, and without souls, they would gradually rot.

The rotting corpses could no longer provide protection for the ghosts, and they would be summoned back by the ghost altar in the ghost lair.

Flanders’s curiosity had been piqued by the ghost altar, and he wanted to see what this ghost altar was.

According to historical records, after the ancient empire had occupied these catacombs, there was no altar.

In fact, the ghost altar had only appeared a hundred years later. What exactly had happened in the past hundred years?

Flanders wanted to understand the whole matter even more. If he wanted to understand, then he had to go through this stagnant pool.

Flanders summoned the Black Scarecrow. The Black Scarecrow was of the water attribute and was very compatible with the stagnant pool.

Flanders carefully controlled the Black Scarecrow to slowly approach the stagnant pool. The Black Scarecrow actually floated on the surface of the pool.

The king of chilly wind and the others were extremely surprised. This was something they had never seen before.

For many years, there had never been anything that could float on the surface of the dead pool.

Even the black water strange creatures would sink in the dead pool. The black water strange creatures needed to keep paddling.

If they paddled for a long time, the black water strange creatures would be tired. It would sink to the bottom of the pool to rest.

Once it sensed any movement on the surface of the dead pool, the black water strange creatures would swarm out and devour any living beings on the surface.

However, the black water strange creatures were also afraid of something, which was the biting cold wind. The cold wind with extremely low temperature would freeze the black water monster into a popsicle.

Every time the biting cold wind blew, the black water strange creatures would avoid the surface.

The Black Scarecrows floating on the surface of the water soon attracted the attention of the black water strange creatures. One after another, the black water strange creatures emerged.

They rushed toward the Black Scarecrow. The black water strange creatures had not seen a creature that had crossed the surface of the lake for many years.

It was not easy for them to see one, so they did not want to let it go.

Just as the black water strange creatures were about to bite the Black Scarecrow, the Black Scarecrow disappeared.
