After hearing Li Shang’s words, Gu Xi paused for a moment, then decisively pushed open the door.

In the next instant, Gu Xi found himself in a world filled entirely with various metal pipes and steam.

The world before him was not actually large, and one might even say it was a bit cramped.

Here, large undead creatures like Bone Dragons can’t be released, and in some places, if Gu Xi is not careful, he could be scalded by the steam that sprays out from the surroundings.

Even though Gu Xi can still freely walk through the pipes now and, with his Pathfinding Skill, easily avoid getting lost.

Gu Xi isn’t here to hurry along; he is looking for the enemy’s location.

What he needs is a place where he can fight ghosts.

In such an environment, releasing Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon is not suitable.

Gu Xi waved his hand, and Death Incarnation - Death God and Death Incarnation-Titan appeared beside him.

Then Gu Xi blessed Ghost Realm Battlefield onto the two Death Incarnations.

This was to enhance the combat power of both Death Incarnations.

After doing all this, Gu Xi opened his eyes wide, and the Spirit Lamp’s vision burst forth. Using this spiritual power, Gu Xi quickly searched for the enemy’s location.

The Spirit Lamp’s ability is quite strong in this aspect, and with just a fleeting thought, Gu Xi had already locked onto the enemy’s location.

Gu Xi stomped his feet downward, his body levitating three inches above the ground, and charged forward with his two Death Incarnations.

At the same time, all the equipment carriers around Gu Xi were ready for battle, protecting him from any harm.

At this moment, Gu Xi’s skin also had turned a faint gold color.

It was clear that although he was advancing, Gu Xi remained vigilant of everything around him.

𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

He wasn’t careless just because he had enough manpower around him.

After maneuvering past a few steam-emitting pipes, Gu Xi saw his target.

It was a rather ordinary ghost, dressed in old work clothes and suspenders, with many small tools hanging from his waist.

He was holding a small bottle of wine in his hand, looking every bit the part of a common repairman.

Perhaps even a pipe repairman.

However, unbeknownst to him, he had already died at some point, becoming a ghost wandering the area.

Gu Xi didn’t immediately see anything wrong with him, and his appearance hardly looked like that of a BOSS-level entity.

If not for the intermittent combat aura under his feet, Gu Xi might have doubted whether he had made a mistake.

While Gu Xi was observing the ghost, this ghost also noticed Gu Xi’s presence.

Without any wasted words, he turned directly to a certain spot behind him.

At the same time, Gu Xi noticed that the color above the ghost’s head changed from green to red.

This was the Death Lord’s ability alerting Gu Xi that the ghost before him was no longer a neutral or friendly undead; they were enemies.

Gu Xi, seeing this, didn’t even think; he’d spent some time coming here, and there was no thought to waiting for the enemy to unleash their abilities before attacking.

When he saw that this ghost wanted to leave, Gu Xi raised his hand immediately and unleashed a Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain.

The ghost didn’t expect Gu Xi to be so devoid of Martial Virtue.

Without any declaration, he directly attacked this old ghost.

And he used a major move.

The ghost hadn’t returned to his combat location when suddenly the sky darkened, and a Peach Mountain descended from above, slamming into the ghost.

This Peach Mountain was entirely composed of peach trees.

For the undead, it has a tremendously stimulating effect.

All the undead immediately felt suppressed.

At this moment, Gu Xi had different choices.

One was to suppress the enemy directly, as Gu Xi had dealt with Li Quanyong’s soul before using the Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain.

After pressing the enemy under the mountain, he could start a fire, and the suppressed undead would be burned to death together.

The other choice was to use the true role of Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain, to forcibly mark the undead with Gu Xi’s insignia.

Turning enemy undead into Gu Xi’s subordinates.

Gu Xi hadn’t actually tried this, but the system’s description made it clear, and Gu Xi did not intend to spare the ghost before him.

Although killing a ghost would allow Gu Xi to receive a ghost of the same level through Double Death.

Gu Xi hadn’t burned a level 20 ghost yet and didn’t know how long it would take to burn the ghost with Peach Mountain.

Therefore, Gu Xi chose the method he had never tried before.

After crushing the Peach Mountain down, Gu Xi activated the mountain’s transformation function.

In this transformation, Gu Xi saw Peach Mountain firmly rooted into the ground, and the peach trees constituting the mountain began to grow upwards, sprouting tender green leaves, even blooming pink peach blossoms.

This situation left Gu Xi somewhat speechless.

If transforming an enemy undead takes such a long time, what’s the point?

He would’ve directly suppressed it and set it on fire if he’d known, finishing off the enemy.

Gu Xi hadn’t even had time to grumble.

A cracking noise rang in his ears.

Then Gu Xi saw a large number of peach blossoms blooming and a small cave appeared within Peach Mountain.

Gu Xi shook his head; crawling into the cave wasn’t in his plans.

Forget it. This transformation is somewhat unreliable; it’s better to burn Peach Mountain along with the suppressed ghost too.

Just as Gu Xi was about to unleash the Flame Domain, a light emerged from the cave beneath Peach Mountain, and Gu Xi saw the previous ghost wearing a headlamp, struggling to crawl out from the cave.

At this moment, the top of this ghost’s head had no lighting that represented neutrality, friendliness, or hostility.

This indicated that to Gu Xi, he was no longer a stranger; he was Gu Xi’s subordinate.

Sure enough, before Gu Xi could speak, the ghost proactively approached Gu Xi.

"Master."

[Ding, you forcibly recruited an undead (Electronic Ghost, Level 20) using the Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain ability, gaining 1 point of experience for Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain.]

[Electronic Ghost (Level 20, Summoned Creatures): Experience (0/200500), Attack 34, Defense 23, Life 400, Skills: Ghost Body, Electronic Vision, Quantum Computing, Data Control.]

Gu Xi glanced at the ghost, turned around, and shouted loudly.

"Li Shang, Li Shang, are you there? Come and see if this BOSS has been dealt with?"

The ghost side-eyed Gu Xi, not minding Gu Xi displaying him; he simply stood by quietly.

Soon, Li Shang, who had sent Gu Xi to the dungeon, also came over.

The chubby fellow immediately saw the ghost standing beside Gu Xi.

That was the hidden BOSS that had stalled them for over two days.

Now this BOSS looked like a small follower, standing beside Gu Xi, not lifting his head unless Gu Xi spoke.

What was going on?

Li Shang looked puzzled; wasn’t it said that the Undead Mage suppresses undead?

Why did it turn out that the Undead Mage became the BOSS I asked for?
