Magic scrolls, a type of valuable item, are generally used to instantly cast a specific spell.

These items are consumables, typically with limited uses, and once used up, they become useless.

Thus, players who suffer attacks from magic scrolls often joke, "I got killed by money!"

This is to tease the expense of magic scrolls.

It's not surprising that Zainxia Faye possesses magic scrolls, but the fact that he's willing to use them is quite intriguing.

And he did it right in front of everyone!

It's important to know that the spell in this scroll only has a three-second stun duration.

Even if everyone gets hit, Zainxia Faye can't escape unscathed in just three seconds.

In other words, he doesn't care about dying, as long as he gets what's in the treasure chest.

Unfortunately, his plan fell through.

Jiang Chen directly used his Holy Light Body to become immune to control and simultaneously cast a Healing Spell.

Before Zainxia Faye could fully reach into the coffin, a white light descended upon him.

Jiang Chen took less than a second to break free from control and cast his skill.

Zainxia Faye was still full of excitement, thinking he had victory in his grasp, when a damage number appeared above his head.

-2879!

Without suspense, Zainxia Faye's health points were instantly depleted.

He fell to the ground with a look of confusion, despair, anger, and unwillingness.

"So close! Why!!!"

This was his last thought before being sent back to the respawn point.

"What on earth is inside that's worth all this?"

"Not fearing death is understandable since you can respawn, but not even fearing revenge? That's way too bold!"

Jiang Chen thought as he walked toward the treasure chest.

Soon, a small coffin, less than two meters long, came into view.

The coffin lid had already been lifted, and inside lay a person quietly.

Jiang Chen was surprised to find that it was a little girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old!

Her face was bloodless, as pale as a vampire.

Her lips were ink-black, like she was poisoned.

Her neck and the back of her hands were covered with ancient dark red patterns, identical to those on the treasure map.

She looked extremely eerie.

Moreover, wisps of black death aura were emanating from her body.

At the same time, Jiang Chen saw a system notification.

[Dani (Undying Clan Lich Servant)]

[Lich Servant: A powerful necromancer and lich can use necromantic forbidden spells to transform living beings with magical talent or fresh corpses into Undying Clan servants, known as Lich Servants, possessing simple necromantic spells and an undead body.

After transformation, the Lich Servant will recognize the first person they see upon awakening as a close one and offer their soul container. The one who obtains the soul container can become the master of the Lich Servant.]

[Hint: Placing your hand on Lich Servant Dani can inject health points into her to awaken her.]

"Lich Servant, Undying Clan servant?"

Jiang Chen quickly scanned the information, surprised, "So, Zainxia Faye acted because he saw this thing?"

A servant Lolita indeed had a strong allure for Zainxia Faye.

After all, he dared to make a move on Yuna at Skyward Academy.

However, despite the Lich Servant's delicate features, she was still part of the Undying Clan, not even considered human, at least not a normal living person.

Her face was as pale as paper, her lips as black as ink, and with those eerie ancient patterns and strands of death aura...

One must admit, Zainxia Faye's taste was quite peculiar.

Jiang Chen was still inwardly mocking.

Stolen story; please report.

"Is this bastard crazy? He dared to attack me!"

Suddenly, Qian Xingtianxia's angry voice rang out.

He had regained his mobility.

"Young Master Qian, what just happened, why did the old mage..."

Late-night Fairy was utterly confused at this moment, quickly approaching.

From Zainxia Faye's attack to being instantly killed by Jiang Chen, and Qian Xingtianxia regaining his mobility, only three seconds had passed.

She was still a bit dazed.

"Stand aside, don't come near."

Perhaps due to Zainxia Faye's betrayal, Qian Xingtianxia became more cautious than before.

"Tch!"

Late-night Fairy pursed her lips and stepped back a few paces.

"Mortal World, this Lich Servant..."

In front of the treasure chest, Qian Xingtianxia looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "How do you think we should distribute it fairly?"

Jiang Chen replied slowly, "Didn't you say from the start that we'd split it evenly?"

Qian Xingtianxia was a bit helpless, "Yes, evenly, but there's only one Lich Servant here. We can't exactly split her in half, can we?"

Jiang Chen: "Then what do you think, Brother Qian, how should we distribute it?"

"How about this."

Qian Xingtianxia paused, then continued, "Mortal World, I'm quite interested in this Lich Servant. How about we convert her value into gold coins? You name the price, and I'll give you half in gold coins!"

"Convert to gold coins? Sure, whatever you say she's worth, Brother Qian."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

He looked at the information displayed on the Lich Servant in the coffin, his mind racing.

Although he had never seen a Lich Servant before, he had studied related materials, such as the origins of liches.

All Undying Clan liches are generally transformed from necromancers.

To pursue power and immortality, some powerful necromancers would transform themselves into liches.

During the transformation, they would extract their own souls and transfer them into something called a "soul container."

This "soul container" is a vessel for the soul.

Any item capable of holding a soul can become a "soul container."

Unless the "soul container" is destroyed, all liches are nearly immortal!

Similarly, powerful necromancers and liches can use necromantic forbidden spells on suitable targets, extracting their souls to make them servants, thus creating Lich Servants.

The key to all this lies in the "soul container."

As long as one can obtain the "soul container," they can become the master of the Lich Servant, without a doubt.

However, Jiang Chen did not find the existence of a "soul container" in the coffin.

He was very skeptical whether this Lich Servant named "Dani" really had her "soul container" with her.

Would the necromancer or lich who transformed her into a Lich Servant not take the "soul container"?

Just from the information displayed, there were too many doubts!

Therefore, Jiang Chen did not rush to inject life to awaken the Lich Servant.

Whether or not she recognizes the first person she sees as a close one is not important; the "soul container" is the key.

Even if the Lich Servant truly has a "soul container," he can act after she takes it out!

By "act," he meant to take action against Qian Xingtianxia; taking down one person is quick.

As Jiang Chen was rapidly thinking.

Qian Xingtianxia's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Mortal World, this treasure map is gold-level. I'll value this Lich Servant at the price of gold-level equipment, how about that?"

"No problem."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Alright, currently, the price of gold-level equipment doesn't exceed 20,000 gold. I'll split it with you, giving you 10,000 gold, and you let me have the Lich Servant. Is that okay?"

Qian Xingtianxia looked at Jiang Chen intently, a bit nervous, afraid the latter would disagree.

To his surprise.

Jiang Chen didn't hesitate at all and nodded, "Sure!"

"Great, thank you, Mortal World!"

With that, Qian Xingtianxia happily initiated the transaction, "Mortal World, I'll give you 5,000 gold first. Once I awaken the Lich Servant, I'll give you the remaining 5,000 gold."

He knew Jiang Chen could instantly kill him, and if he was killed after the transaction, he'd suffer a huge loss.

So, giving half first was the safest bet.

"Quite clever."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly in his heart and agreed to the transaction.

[You have received 5,000 gold coins!]

After the transaction, Qian Xingtianxia eagerly approached the treasure chest, leaned forward, and quickly placed his hand on the head of the Lich Servant in the coffin.

At this moment, he was extremely nervous.

He was afraid Jiang Chen would suddenly leave the team and attack.

However, the latter had no intention of doing so.

Soon.

A wisp of black death aura flowed along Qian Xingtianxia's arm, entering his chest.

Subsequently, his health points began to plummet.

It was as if a pump was draining his life force.

Fortunately, it was only health points being lost, not the maximum limit.

In just three or four seconds.

Qian Xingtianxia's health points dropped to less than 10%, and he shouted, "Late-night, heal me!"

"You still need me to heal you!"

Not far away, Late-night Fairy quickly cast a Healing Spell.

A white light fell on Qian Xingtianxia.

A healing number appeared above his head: +245!

"Not enough, throw all your healing skills at me!" Qian Xingtianxia shouted again, his health was dropping too fast, and it was continuously decreasing.

"Healing Wave!"

"Light of Revival!"

Late-night Fairy also cast two more skills.

+320!

+364!

Qian Xingtianxia's health briefly recovered.

Two or three seconds later, his health dropped below 10% again.

The Lich Servant was frantically absorbing his health points.

"How much health does it need? Who can withstand this!"

Qian Xingtianxia was about to give up, about to withdraw his hand.

At that moment.

Jiang Chen waved his staff, casting a Holy Light Judgment.

An arrow-shaped white light quickly shot onto Qian Xingtianxia.

+1764! (Double Cast)

His health instantly refilled!

"Mortal, Mortal World, you can heal too!"

Qian Xingtianxia's eyes lit up with surprise, and he gratefully said, "Thank you, Mortal World!"

"The skill has a cooldown, if it's not enough, there's nothing I can do." Jiang Chen said calmly.

Subsequently, Qian Xingtianxia's health began to rapidly decrease again.

However, when it dropped to around 20%, it stopped!

"Did it work?"

Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems so!"

Qian Xingtianxia was also full of joy and anticipation.

Soon.

The little girl in the coffin opened her eyes!

Her eyeballs were not made of physical matter but were two clusters of ghostly blue light.

The Lich Servant named "Dani" slowly stood up from the coffin.

She looked at Qian Xingtianxia for several seconds.

Then, somewhat woodenly, she began to search herself for something.

Soon, her eyes showed a hint of confusion, as if she hadn't found what she was looking for.

"Looking for the soul container?"

Jiang Chen murmured.

At this moment.

The Lich Servant's eyes, those two clusters of ghostly blue light, suddenly flickered!

She raised her head in pain, her face showing a hint of ferocity.

A dense black death aura erupted from her body.

Then, she closed her eyes and fell back into the coffin.

The black death aura that erupted from her body quickly surged towards Qian Xingtianxia, who was closest.

At the same time, a hollow voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Come, give me your body!"

It was the same voice heard when they first entered the underground palace.

"What the hell is this thing!"

Qian Xingtianxia was now completely enveloped in death aura, his health rapidly decreasing.

"Mortal World, save me!"

Qian Xingtianxia looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of despair.

"Brother Qian, the healing cooldown isn't ready yet!"

Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he replied calmly.

In just two or three seconds.

Qian Xingtianxia's health points dropped to zero, and he fell to the ground.

"Young Master Qian!"

Not far away, Late-night Fairy shouted in horror. She hadn't expected Qian Xingtianxia to just die like that!

Her three healing skills were still on cooldown, and she couldn't use them even if she wanted to.

"Indeed, in the end, we still have to fight the BOSS. The Undying Clan is really troublesome!"

Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the black death aura quickly enter Qian Xingtianxia's mouth, eyes, nose, and ears!

And the fallen Qian Xingtianxia eerily stood up from the ground.

"Young Master Qian revived?!"

Late-night Fairy was stunned, her face showing surprise.

"Probably the real one has already respawned at the respawn point."

Jiang Chen replied calmly, though he was a bit surprised.

Can this thing even control a player's corpse?

That's really twisted!

As he was thinking.

"Qian Xingtianxia" had already fully stood up, his eyes slowly looking at Jiang Chen.

However, his pupils had turned into two ghostly flames, flickering and jumping.

[Undying Clan Lich Emperor Dika (Gold Level BOSS): LV25]

[Soul Possession State: Currently possessing the body (Qian Xingtianxia).]

[Necromantic Black Aura: All of Dika's attacks carry necromantic black aura, reducing the target's maximum health by an additional 1% when hit.]

[Necromantic Charge: Quickly charges at a target within 10 meters, dealing a heavy blow with 150% damage!]

[Necromantic Mountain-Crushing Slash: Swings the sword down, releasing a large amount of black death aura, dealing 150% damage to all targets within a 5-meter range in front!]

[Necromantic Crescent Slash: Swings the longsword, shooting a crescent-shaped black death aura, dealing 200% damage to all targets within a 10-meter range in front!]

"What a pity, it's a swordsman's body. If it were a mage, it would be much more convenient."

"Qian Xingtianxia" looked at himself, then at Jiang Chen and Late-night Fairy, and said slowly, "But it's more than enough to deal with you!"
