Su Login's Party and the Undead Enemies

The scenery ahead was that of a devastated forest. 

A gray mist hovered all over the place and the dry trees had grotesque-looking curved branches. The ground was covered in ash that rained incessantly and was soft. 

When Su Login took the first step into the Fourth District, he felt his foot sinking. Several insects that were hiding underground ran and sought shelter elsewhere.

"How many cultivators did you say you managed to convince to continue the Peach Tree Trial?" asked Su Login.

"Eight young fellows," replied Zue Ha.

"Then there are only seven left." The masked youth pointed to the corpse of a cultivator. This cultivator's skeleton was being held up by a wooden spike that ran vertically through his entire body. "They drained him of all life and left only his bones."
