Undead Mage from a Cell

Watching the obelisk stabilize, Gu Xi, who had been holding his heart, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down on the ground, trying hard to calm his emotions.

Though Gu Xi kept muttering that this battle was fought in vain.

But actually, Gu Xi knew that his gains from this battle were quite alright.

It’s just that compared to acquiring a new Death City, the current spoils seem a bit lacking.

After standing up again, Gu Xi waved his hand to his subordinates.

"Alright, let’s sort out the spoils and prepare to retreat."

Following Gu Xi’s order, the Ghost Squad placed the items they snatched from the pit in the last minute before him.

Because it was the last minute, the Ghost Squad could only choose some items they could carry nearby, either hugging two or grabbing a handful.

They didn’t even look at those items’ attributes.

Now that everything was over, the White Impermanence of the Ghost Squad finally had the chance to take everything out and check.

This last moment, they gathered over 200,000 various equipment fragments.

After Gu Xi’s undead employees organized them, they found that there were almost no gray fragments among them.

White fragments occupied half, and most of the rest were green and blue quality.

Yet they managed to select over 300 purple quality fragments and five orange quality fragments.

Unfortunately, most of these fragments were not part of any set.

Especially the five orange quality fragments, which were utterly unusable.

Each one required at least 300 similar fragments to piece together an orange armor quest.

Gu Xi wasn’t crazy; he wouldn’t go find over 300 fragments for one piece of orange armor.

It’s known that Gu Xi’s temporary quest [Sealed Power] only required finding seven components.

Here, one piece of orange armor required searching for 300 fragments.

This is simply asking for one’s life.

Regarding these equipment or wreckage fragments, Gu Xi had only one thought: have the blacksmith melt these materials down for reforging.

Purple fragments are tolerable, but since seeing the White Bone Obelisk, Gu Xi knew that on higher levels, there must be some method to enhance orange armor.

These orange fragments definitely need to be kept as enhancement materials.

Purple fragments are almost in the same situation.

Previously during the Converted Undead process, Gu Xi realized that his undead subordinates have now increased in strength.

Even undead soldiers could no longer use standardized equipment with +1, +2.

They need to all be equipped with some purple armor.

Once these purple fragments are reforged, they can enhance the ordinary soldiers’ weapons.

Just moving these fragments back would allow all the main forces and elite troops in Yalidu City to enhance their weapons and equipment by at least one level.

After hearing the undead’s report on the inventory, Gu Xi nodded.

"Is that all? Nothing else?"

"There’s still approximately seventy thousand remains, which include bones, innards, and some muscle, mainly green to blue quality, with about a hundred purple pieces and two orange quality pieces."

The undead responsible for counting records spoke while showing Gu Xi two items for display.

Gu Xi glanced and saw that one was half a rib, the other a golden stomach.

Gu Xi didn’t need to look closely to know these items were for enhancing Skeleton Soldiers, and the other for enhancing zombies or vampires.

These materials are definitely timely rain for Gu Xi.

It’s known that Gu Xi still has a batch of corpses pressed there.

Most notably, the corpse of Yaksha Jade Tree King and the previously retrieved corpse of Dietrich.

Even though Yaksha Jade Tree King was only level 19, he voluntarily left his body to reach level 20.

That body is considered the most complete and best to use.

Gu Xi’s level in Undead Transformation has already improved a lot.

Plus he finished promotion this time, handling level 19 corpses should already be achievable.

Gu Xi prepared to properly utilize Yaksha Jade Tree King’s corpse to conduct another wave of undead transformation.

This time’s battle showed Gu Xi many weaknesses of his forces.

The lack of elite and strong troops is a very serious issue.

Gu Xi believes that this time saving the guild leader repays his training by the Chaoyang Radiance Guild.

After returning, Gu Xi can apply to participate in the Genesis War.

Then the enemies he’ll face will be even stronger than this time.

Most crucially, in Creation, the enemies are feared to have players equipped with orange armor.

There will be entities over level 20.

There will be masters who grasp the Death Three Divine Skills.

Now his troops can handle common players.

But facing similar geniuses, Gu Xi’s troops probably won’t measure up.

Aside from the level 26 Ghost Dragon, just some hellhounds can barely be used.

The others have nobody capable to use.

The promised Double-headed Bone Dragon reached level 19 with a zombie; once they step forward, they can reach level 20.

And what happened?

The Double-headed Bone Dragon was destroyed twice, returning to level 19.

The zombie fares better, it often participates in battles, but its experience increases slowly, nothing can change that.

Therefore, Gu Xi must reconsider his strategy now.

See if he can get his converted undead level close to level 20.

"Send all these to Evil Wood Lake, soak them in the lake; warm them up a bit."

This counts as harvest this time, better not waste it."

While Gu Xi processed the battlefield spoils, the newly placed obelisk gently trembled.

Yet as the White Bone Pyramid Carrier guaranteed, the present obelisk cut off all covetousness toward Gu Xi.

Especially now, the black liquid has almost filled the pit left by the original Death City.

Those who wanted to locate and deploy from the original Death City couldn’t come over.

Gu Xi also noticed the slight tremor of the obelisk, and at this moment, Gu Xi smiled slightly.

He understood that it’s now safe.

So Gu Xi waved his hand.

"It’s enough, we’ve done all we can, everyone pack everything up, we’re preparing to return."

Under Gu Xi’s command, the remaining undead cleaned up the battlefield again, took the tidied items, and tread the black-and-gray-paved road back toward Yalidu City.
