Because his mission remained incomplete.

Which meant that Candace was still alive!

As Candace received the fatal blow, he must have used some kind of Necromancy to escape!

That was one of the specialties of the Necromancer class.

Li Huan did not want to take part in the Temple of Life’s celebrations. He just wanted to leave the place as soon as possible.

Because Candace was not really dead! Under pressure from the Temple of Life, knowing full well that his identity had been exposed, Candace would definitely not reappear so easily!

Candace was left with only two choices now. First, find an opportunity to come out and kill Li Huan himself.

Second, which was the situation Li Huan was most afraid of, return to the Dark Council behind him, then use an even more powerful force to kill Li Huan!

The organization actually wasn’t very strong. If it was Li Huan in his previous life, he would not even have spared them a look!

But the current Li Huan had better be careful.

He had not planned to stay there anyway. That place was just the border of Ryan Kingdom. He could not get anything he wanted. There were simply not enough resources to support his growth.

He wanted to go to the center of the Kingdom, then join the Royal Magic Academy with his own abilities.

At least, in terms of breaking away and escaping from Candace, his decision was firm. The earlier he left, the better!

Only by going to a big city, and relying on a bigger force, could he be relatively safe!

Li Huan hurriedly said goodbye to the people from Temple of Life, and returned to his residence.

He had nothing to hold on to in that place. Remaining there would only put him in greater danger!

Li Huan went back and forth from morning till night, until he was even starting to see the shape of the moon. He returned to his residence, took a few sets of clothes and a map, and left Luca Town.

The closest city to Luca Town was not near at all. Although he was a veteran player, and had the habit of memorizing maps, it was such a poor and remote area.

Which player would bother to memorize the map of that place!

The nearest city was called Milu City. Although it could not be considered a mega city, it was not too bad. It could at least serve as a temporary resting place for Li Huan.

At the moment, he was only a Level 10 Summoner. He did not have good stuff like Teleportation Scrolls yet.

However, his legs were not his only form of transportation. Don’t forget, he was a Summoner!

The primary skill of his Summoned Creature, Skeleton King, was Undead Transformation. He could transform all the corpses under Skeleton King’s control into Skeleton soldiers!

And it was clearly written in the description for Undead Space, that this did not only apply to human bodies. In other words, as long as it was a corpse, he would be able to control it!

Li Huan’s wish really came true. Not long after he left Luca Town, the corpse of a horse lay across the road.

Looking at the condition of the wild horse’s corpse, it must have been gnawed to the bone by nearby wolves. Not a single bit of flesh was left on its skeletal structure.

Li Huan was not too afraid of wolves. The wild beasts surrounding Luca Town were at most the equivalent of Level 5. As long as he summoned Skeleton King, he would not need to lift a finger, and the wild beasts would be scared away.

Li Huan immediately summoned Skeleton King and used Undead Transformation on the wild horse’s corpse.

Skeleton King looked in the direction of the wild horse’s corpse, then slowly opened its mouth, chanting a spell that only the Undead could understand.

In the beginning, the wild horse’s corpse still had some blood stains on it. After Skeleton King’s chanting ended, it could be seen with the naked eye that the blood stains were being peeled off the skeletal structure. The horse’s skeletal structure stood up slowly and suddenly became a Skeleton!

Sure, that horse was good, but it was a little uncomfortable to sit on.

However, it was a ride that would neither tire nor need any food! Where in the world could such a good ride be found?

After riding the Skeleton horse, Li Huan’s speed of traveling increased significantly. A few hours later, Li Huan decided to set up camp where he had stopped.

It was just that, for some reason, he kept having a vague feeling that someone was watching him.

But when he got up to take another look, only the motionless Skeleton horse was there.

It carried the same aura as Skeleton King. While it stood there, no other creatures dared to come close.

He was probably just too tired?

After a busy day, Li Huan did not think about it too much. He just released Skeleton King for protection and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Huan did not dare to stay any longer after waking up. He had to quickly get on with his journey.

With Skeleton King as his bodyguard, there were practically no live creatures within a radius of tens of meters.

They were all afraid that Skeleton King would eat them alive if it somehow got upset.

However, it was in that area that Li Huan kept feeling as if something was staring at him.

He already had that feeling the night before, but he was too tired then. Also, he had already caused the Necromancer to flee in defeat that day.

Now, after a night of rest, he had recovered quite a bit of energy.

This time, he was very sure! There was definitely something strange near him!

Li Huan turned his head in a flash, and immediately a cluster of faint sounds came from the patch of shrubs he was looking at.

It was as if something was afraid that it would be discovered, and had fled in a hurry.

That further confirmed Li Huan’s suspicions.

F*ck! Li Huan suddenly had a revelation and could not help but shudder. Could it be that the Necromancer had not given up his evil intentions and come looking for Li Huan again?

With Skeleton King in tow, Li Huan gingerly approached the patch of shrubs in front of him.

There was nothing in there that moved, but a faint black fog that had yet to dissipate completely remained.

Li Huan was no stranger to that. Those were the traces of a scout sent by the Necromancer!

As expected, it was Candace! He thought he had successfully escaped. He had no idea that the Necromancer’s scouts had been watching him from the shadows!

Li Huan, Li Huan! He had been way too careless! How could he still sleep at a time like that!

He immediately became vigilant, and swiftly observed his surroundings.

That wasn’t right. Candace was definitely seriously injured the day before! Despite such a good opportunity, he did not make a move during the night. He had only sent a scout to follow Li Huan.

Which meant that Candace definitely had not fully recovered! Li Huan still had a chance to fight back!

However, the other party was more than 10 levels higher. Although Candace was severely injured, he was now in the dark while Li Huan was in the light. If Li Huan waited until Candace recovered, it would be difficult for him to escape death!

Candace seemed to be taking the time to recharge. Once Li Huan himself was tired out, Candace would then grab the opportunity to attack him. In that case, Li Huan would turn Candace’s strategy around, and use it against Candace himself!

That type of scout could only track Li Huan’s location. It could not explain a specific situation to its master.

In other words, Candace was probably still unaware that Li Huan could summon Skeleton King!

No, he could not wait any longer!

Li Huan thought briefly and devised a plan. The bait had been set. He would just have to see if the fish bit or not!
