Undead Mage from a Cell

Loss!

Once everything had calmed down, Gu Xi understood that this battle had come to an end.

He pursued, expending great effort to deploy troops, and in the end, even mobilized over half of his forces.

But he gained nothing.

Gu Xi felt that this time, he truly suffered a great loss.

Luckily, he had a wave of experience points to grind, preventing too heavy a loss.

Additionally, every time he killed a Mud Undead, Double Death would activate, increasing the number of new Undead by over two hundred thousand in Yalidov City, which served as a small supplement.

Otherwise, Gu Xi would have no place to cry this time.

As Gu Xi sighed about this matter, his Undead were not idle.

Although Death City was eventually uprooted entirely, the location where Death City was stationed still remained.

When Gu Xi came back to his senses, Dominic had already led some troops to explore downward along the uprooted foundation.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Xi was also a bit surprised.

Including Dominic, Gu Xi already had four Leader-level figures under his command.

But among these four, only Dominic was proactive in his actions.

The other Leaders needed Gu Xi’s arrangements before they would act.

It seems that having Leader Potential is not enough for some subordinates; they also need ideas of their own to handle things independently.

Arriving at the former location of Death City.

Gu Xi noticed that only a pit more than thirty meters deep was left.

Regarding the size of the pit, there was no need to ask; however large Death City was originally, that’s how large the pit is.

As he stood at the edge of the pit and looked downward, Gu Xi found a thick layer of black ash covering the floor of the pit.

The faint Yin Qi on these ashes indicated to Gu Xi that all of them were bone ashes that had been fully utilized.

It was just that someone had used these as the foundation of Death City.

The Baphomet Altar may have uprooted Death City entirely.

But it did not remove the black ash.

It still left Gu Xi with a bit of it.

Dominic, who arrived earlier, was leading his men to search and examine here, looking to see what lay beneath this black ash.

Unlike Dominic, Gu Xi was most interested in these materials that were vast in quantity but had no apparent use.

He jumped into the pit aboard the Holy Silver Evil Coffin.

The commotion when the Holy Silver Evil Coffin landed let Gu Xi know that the black ash here exceeded the surface layer he initially saw; it was at least more than a meter deep.

Reaching out into the ash for a handful, Gu Xi found it somewhat similar to the Champion’s Battle Intent he bought at the Soul Gathering Land.

[Bone Shattering Ash (Gray): Ash formed from the bones of Skeletons that have risen and been killed repeatedly over hundreds of times of death, can be used to enhance Skeleton Soldiers or skeleton-type weapons and equipment.]

Seeing the attributes before him, Gu Xi realized these things surely weren’t bone ash left by Skeleton Soldiers that had died, resurrected, and experienced death a hundred times.

The Octopus-headed Undead Mage must have had some method to mass-produce Bone Shattering Ash.

Just like collecting the Souls of Hundred Victories Promoters at the Soul Gathering Land.

The Bone Shattering Ash before him definitely came from some trivial thing.

However, upon viewing the full ground of ash, he discarded the idea of investigating the ash’s origin.

If these ashes were truly useful, there was so much here that Gu Xi wouldn’t be able to use it all.

What’s most important now is figuring out how to transport all these ashes.

If Gu Xi were in the outside world right now, he could directly place a City Gate into the ash, allowing White Impermanence to toil as miners.

But for now, the space where he stood was specifically generated for the battle between the two Death Cities.

Actually, once Gu Xi defeated his opponent, this space should technically be part of Yaliduwei City.

Yet the issue now is that the Octopus-headed Undead Mage’s Death City has been extracted by someone.

Only leaving such a massive pit behind.

Currently, it’s not considered the outside world, and Gu Xi has no way of deploying the City Gate here.

Without the City Gate, and being over fifty miles from Yaliduwei City’s Main City Gate.

With just Gu Xi’s Ghost Squad, trying to transport all the ash would be like tossing you a spoon and asking you to empty the sea.

This certainly adds some difficulty.

Regarding other methods, Gu Xi glimpsed at the ash here.

If these were bone fragments, he could execute some wide-ranging Summoning.

Faced with this Bone Shattering Ash, people had already turned to ash, making it impossible to summon souls.

To empty this location, he must find another way.

At that moment, Gu Xi’s Converted Undeads also jumped down from the pit above.

They quickly gathered around Gu Xi.

Converted Undead are what Gu Xi personally converted one by one, and because of this familiarity, Gu Xi always uses them as his Personal Guard.

This time when they leaped down following Gu Xi, he did not have many thoughts.

However, Gu Xi never expected the leading Skeleton Shooter to proactively seek him out.

"What’s the matter?"

Gu Xi was somewhat puzzled, yet he still asked.

As Converted Undead Soldiers, these Undead possess some self-awareness; although most are unable to speak, Gu Xi isn’t incapable of methods like Soul Whisper.

Upon Gu Xi’s inquiry, the Skeleton Shooter promptly produced an item.

"Master, when we were occupying buildings in the city, we discovered the appearance of the enemy leader. We abandoned other targets and proactively attacked the enemy leader.

After the enemy’s death, a change occurred in the sky.

Due to this, we didn’t linger; we just seized part of the enemy leader’s relic and withdrew.

However, as we left Death City, we became increasingly aware that there is an issue with the enemy leader’s relic.

We initially planned to privately divide these items, but now it seems better to hand them to our master."

As the Skeleton Shooter spoke, he retrieved the items taken from the enemy leader.

They were several eyes brimming with vibrant energy.

As these eyes were presented, the eyeballs actively turned toward Gu Xi.

Gu Xi could even observe inherent emotions in the eyes: a mix of reluctance and disbelief.

Clearly, this doesn’t resemble the feeling left by the enemy before their death.

Instead, it’s as if these eyes have come alive.
