Must investigate.
Now Gu Xi is like a startled bird, any issue discovered must be carefully addressed.
After all, this location is too close to Yalidu City.
At most, it’s over thirty li, less than twenty kilometers, which is just a half-marathon’s distance; anyone can run it in half a day.
If there really is a problem, it poses a threat to Yalidu City as well.
If Gu Xi hadn’t discovered it, that would’ve been different; now that he has recognized the problem, he must resolve it.
Right at that moment, Gu Xi was choosing where to set the Underground City.
He wants to see if someone is causing trouble behind the scenes.
Gu Xi once again used the Soul Summoning Skill to transform some buried bones underground into Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers, and led his troops away, following the direction of the scattered new army.
Although Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers have various drawbacks, one thing is undeniable.
Their perception of life forms is exceptionally excellent.
Don’t be fooled by their chaotic running; their marching direction is quite clear.
As Gu Xi couldn’t find any clues here, he immediately led his subordinates to follow them.
Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers are far more fierce than Gu Xi’s Converted Undead Corps.
They’re considered a combination of Undead and Berserkers.
In battle, they don’t care whether they have weapons.
Gu Xi merely excavated in the Illusionary Village, which didn’t take too long.
Meanwhile, they’ve already battled seven or eight li away.
Along their path, forget the illusions; even underground grass gets uprooted and thrown aside.
When Gu Xi caught up with them, they were besieging an Illusionary Village.
This village was clearly actively transformed by the Deceitful Shadow.
It looked like a small hill composed of Deceitful Shadows; the peak was a giant skull, with dirt and stone forming armor on the body, numerous arms holding weapons growing out of these walls.
Anyone approaching this Illusionary Village would immediately face attacks from the shadow arms.
Even Gu Xi, who’s experienced, was startled by the sight of the Illusionary Village.
Yet, those Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers didn’t care at all; weaponless, they leapt up to snatch weapons from the hands of those arms.
Or they would just rush head-on with their bodies.
Regardless, with their actions, many of the Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers obtained suitable weapons.
This shows that not all Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers are mere mindless beings.
They are highly adaptable in weapon equipment fields.
Most weapons in their hands can be swiftly mastered, showcasing their full combat potential.
Such Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers are quite fit for arranging under Dietrich’s command.
A thought flashed in Gu Xi’s mind.
At this moment, the faster-moving Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers had leapt onto the Deceitful Shadow.
Meanwhile, changes appeared on the Illusionary Village; a large number of wooden frames appeared on it.
This situation also surprised Gu Xi.
One must note the current Deceitful Shadow differs completely from the others.
Its body carried far too many external elements.
Now more wooden frames appeared; a normal occurrence.
With the appearance of these wooden frames.
A mass of black shadows hung on the frames, appearing from afar like numerous corpses on gallows.
However, these corpses had unique capabilities.
As Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers charged upwards, these corpses swayed slightly, emitting an eerie sound.
Even Gu Xi, outside the battlefield, felt an innate fear.
Mind Magic?
Gu Xi raised his head; does this Illusionary Village have such methods?
Before he could clearly see the opponent’s situation, Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers surged up, tearing off the wooden frames appearing in the Illusionary Village.
Some Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers even wielded these wooden frames as weapons, smashing them heavily on the Illusionary Village.
Observing their progress left Gu Xi speechless.
Is the Illusionary Village really this dim-witted?
Watching Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers being undeterred by death, attempting fear effects to scare them away.
Who gave you that stupid idea?
Oh, you can’t see the attributes of Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers; that explains it.
Your defeat has its reasons.
It’s not because you’re weak, but because you’re countered.
Gu Xi shook his head.
He accepted that this battle would be led by Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers.
His Undead Corps wouldn’t participate but instead assist the Equipment Carrier of the White Bone Obelisk in setting up the White Bone Soul-Calling Tower.
Once this battle concludes, Gu Xi intends to engage in summoning immediately.
Gu Xi also wishes to see if this Illusionary Village resembles the previously conquered one, with many corpses buried underground.
If so, someone might be arranging nearby.
Whether or not Gu Xi has found the opponent’s core, the matter needs attention.
If not.
Then Gu Xi can feel more at ease, calmly finding a suitable place to lay down the Underground City’s Land Title.
Regardless of the final outcome, some things must be done.
Doing it earlier would allow some free time to observe the surroundings.
While Gu Xi was setting up the White Bone Soul-Calling Tower, changes occurred again in the battle at the Illusionary Village.
The wooden frames pulled from underground by Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers transformed due to removal.
The Deceitful Shadows, rather than fading, grew numerous, with increasingly shrill calls.
The Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers became more excited, visibly wielding the wooden frames to great effect.
Watching the increasingly wild Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers left Gu Xi speechless.
Gu Xi never expected the Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers would evolve autonomously after a battle.
Is this Illusionary Village specifically here to deliver equipment?
Otherwise, how could it happen that everything delivered perfectly fits what the Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers need most?
The Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers clutching these wooden frames now didn’t need other weapons; they wielded the frames to slam nearby.
And these wooden frames had the effect of absorbing Deceitful Shadows.
If hit, shadow arms on nearby walls, even the entire wall, would be struck down.
Simultaneously, the Deceitful Shadows on the wooden frames grew more solid, visibly larger.
Numerous mouths began to form on these Deceitful Shadows, each incessantly screaming, emitting terrifying sound.
This Illusionary Village was nearly torn to shreds by the Frenzied Beast Skeleton Soldiers.
This was precisely the moment for Gu Xi to act.
Watching the White Bone Soul-Calling Tower being placed, Gu Xi resolutely used the Soul Summoning Skill!
