Undead Mage from a Cell

Is there such a good deal?

Gu Xi perked up at the mention; these are good things for an Undead Mage.

Why sell them so cheaply?

At this moment, the man in the black robe said, "Master, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d really have forgotten. We really need to clean up the bone pile and blood pool underground.

Let me tell you, we used to have undead mages in the city.

However, there weren’t many, only three in total.

The cleaning work for the slaughterhouse down here was usually handled by them.

But something happened this year, and two of the undead mages left the city, with no one to take over.

Things piled up just like that.

Now some of those things have started to rot. How about this: give me one more plate, and I’ll have someone take you down to claim everything as yours."

Gu Xi thought for a moment and looked again at the Thunderbird being processed.

Indeed, it’s not a bad idea.

After all, Gu Xi noticed the black market here either has no goods or sells only meat from beasts above Level 30 each day.

Though the bones are scattered, their quality surely isn’t too bad.

The Undead Mages in Qianfang City must have had a feast with these.

With two of the three undead mages gone, the remaining one feels like the sole mage in Qianfang City.

His work has become lax and careless.

He ignored the work from the black market and hasn’t been here to clean up for a long while.

Now all of this falls to Gu Xi.

Although Gu Xi hasn’t seen the items yet, he decisively made his decision.

"Deal! One plate for you."

Gu Xi quickly shoved a plate into the black-robed man’s hand.

At this moment, the man swiftly took the plate with a hint of a smile on his face.

He made a fortune this time.

Remember, after the two undead mages left Qianfang City, the black market turned into a buyer’s market.

No chance to pick and choose.

They had to compensate the undead mages for cleaning, without even earning profit and had to tribute some goods.

This time Gu Xi stepped in, providing great help indeed.

If not for Gu Xi just passing by, he would have wanted Gu Xi to stay and subcontract the garbage cleaning work for the black market here.

Storing the Golden Plate, the black-robed man first led Gu Xi to the lower level of the black market building.

However, he didn’t have any intention to elaborate on the building’s layout.

The black market values safety; disclosing the layout, what if something happens?

Haven’t you noticed the man hid his appearance precisely for protection?

Gu Xi could observe on his own.

He noted the blood and meat residues from slaughtering animals should flow downwards through the sewer.

Bones should be cleaned and thrown back in a certain area.

This way is the most convenient for processing.

And as Gu Xi moved downward, he quickly found his guess was correct.

On reaching the first floor, the man directed Gu Xi to the back of the building.

Opening the back door, Gu Xi saw a small courtyard filled with various bones.

As the door swung open, flies suddenly rose like dark clouds.

Gu Xi raised his head slightly to see the window of the slaughterhouse just behind.

These bones had been tossed down from there.

Judging by the quantity, there were at least three hundred creatures’ bones; with the market’s volume, accumulation likely took half a year.

Seems Qianfang City’s undead mage truly had guts.

"Are these all? No problem, I’ll handle it."

Without much action, a ghostly image of the Garrison Gate appeared behind Gu Xi, and a large number of Bone Locusts charged out from it, tearing into the flies.

The cloud-like flies quickly got devoured.

After the flies were dispatched, Gu Xi’s undead army emerged from the Garrison Gate to transport the items.

While moving them, they even categorized and cleaned the bones.

All would then be returned to Yalidu City.

In just seven or eight minutes, the courtyard ground had sunk over a foot.

Observing this, Gu Xi awkwardly remarked, "Apologies, my crew is used to this."

Watching this, the black-robed man was also quite dumbfounded, amazed at Gu Xi’s processing speed.

In just a few minutes, how did even the ground get excavated?

The previous undead mages couldn’t achieve this.

In truth, he couldn’t imagine this speed was considered slow.

If Gu Xi fully unleashed himself, the ground here would sink at least three feet.

"We’ve cleaned this area, wasn’t there mention of a blood pool?

Let’s clean that too.

"Ah, yes, yes, follow me; the blood pool is this way. Saying blood pool, it’s not really; just slaughtering blood mixed with cleaning water thrown together."

Speaking, the black-robed man led Gu Xi towards the sewer beneath the building.

Upon opening it, Gu Xi didn’t need to look to know the situation below from the wafting stench.

The bones before were manageable, no matter how rotted, they had been stripped clean.

But not the blood pool.

Gu Xi glimpsed inside, seeing rotten organs rising and falling in the bloody water.

This would be harder to clean than the bone mountain in the back.

But for Gu Xi, it wasn’t a big deal.

Gu Xi opened the Garrison Gate again, and the Bone-Devouring Swamp slid out from the opened gate.

Pointing at the sewer, the swamp eagerly jumped in.

The swamp underwent swampification inside, absorbing everything within the bloody water and creating new Bone-devouring Mud.

The new mud efficiently fetched organs from the blood water.

In mere minutes, years of accumulated blood had been drained.

Now, they didn’t stop, but began addressing the buildup untouched by the previous undead mages.

This wasn’t half a year’s worth, but black market’s longstanding accumulation.

Previously, no cleanup had revealed this.

Now it’s different, Bone-devouring Mud can consume anything, even uncovering centuries-old remains.
