Undead Mage from a Cell

After Gu Xi’s research, Gu Xi discovered that his understanding of the Soul Summoning Tower wasn’t quite complete.

Many functions of the Soul Summoning Tower have not been utilized.

Additionally, each Soul Summoning Tower has a different focus, and books like the Blood Feast Book and the Book of the Box of Fate can be placed on the tower to change its focus direction.

It can be said that Gu Xi’s previous methods of using the Soul Summoning Tower were too rough.

Gu Xi thought seriously for a moment and then said to Kro, "I have a plan I need to arrange for, if you encounter any danger, go to Poisonous Peach Mountain.

I’ve already made arrangements over there, my subordinates will ensure your safety."

Kro laughed upon hearing this.

"No need to specially protect me, I see your attention is on that Death City now, seems it won’t be completed in a few months.

Why don’t you just stay here to manage Death City?

I can go out and do the archaeology on my own, no problem."

"How could that be? We escaped together, and things with the Beite Alliance haven’t concluded; I definitely need to ensure your safety."

Gu Xi directly rejected this idea upon hearing it.

What a joke, his main task is still tied to Kro.

If Kro leaves like this, where will he find him later?

"Don’t worry, I have dealt with some people in the past, and nothing ever happened, we archaeologists may not have other skills, but we certainly have several hiding spots.

My treasure map is ready, I’ve spent a lot of time accompanying you here, now I really need to go do some archaeology."

As Kro spoke, he jumped up, saying confidently, "Don’t worry, I have nothing with me now, so naturally, no one’s going to target me.

I am safe now.

Regarding the task given to protect me for three months.

That must be a problem with the task-giving system.

We’ve known each other for so long, I won’t mind.

You just focus on managing your Death City.

Once the task completion time arrives, I will give you a good rating."

After saying that, Kro quickly dashed out.

Gu Xi wanted to chase him, but found that in a blink, Kro disappeared right in front of him.

This really startled Gu Xi.

The main task still isn’t completed.

If he ran off like this, where would Gu Xi look for him next time?

So Gu Xi couldn’t care about anything else and was about to chase Kro, but before he could get up, he discovered a change in his task.

The fifth-ring task unexpectedly ended.

Wasn’t the task to protect Kro while he goes archaeology?

He hasn’t even gone yet, why did it end so abruptly?

Gu Xi quickly reviewed the sixth-ring task.

Find the task remains to protect Kro during archaeology but just doesn’t require staying by Kro’s side all the time.

Just needs to appear beside Kro when he calls for help in danger.

This explanation left Gu Xi somewhat speechless.

Now putting Kro out, he would turn and escape on his own.

Where would Gu Xi find Kro afterwards?

Gu Xi doesn’t even know where Kro would be conducting archaeology.

It’s certainly necessary to have someone follow.

Otherwise, if anything really happens, where would Gu Xi find anyone?

Thinking of this, Gu Xi shook his head helplessly.

For the coming months, better stick with Kro for now.

Let Luna and Eve research the matters of the Soul Summoning Tower.

Just as Gu Xi was about to put things down, to find Kro, he looked up and saw Silia’s face appear in the sky above Poisonous Peach Mountain.

This was clearly informing Gu Xi of a problem.

Gu Xi couldn’t split attention; he had to deal with Poisonous Peach Mountain matters first.

He quickly headed towards Poisonous Peach Mountain, and had barely taken two steps when he saw Kro quickly returning.

This made things easier, one less matter to worry about.

But Gu Xi still asked, "Kro, what’s happened?"

"That woman we offended at the Beite Alliance has come, and she’s with another group."

Gu Xi laughed upon hearing this, "Don’t worry, Kro, how many troops can they possibly have?"

"No, their force is quite large, and that woman seems really desperate this time."

Gu Xi laughed heartily.

That woman naturally would be desperate.

She went to Beite Alliance to seek a chance of revival.

Everything was destroyed by Gu Xi.

Now she naturally wants to kill Gu Xi and Kro.

The other troop encountered that woman’s other troop by chance.

The troop using Cyclops as shooter units and Lizardmen as tank soldiers were here for Kro.

Unfortunately, they encountered Gu Xi setting up Poisonous Peach Mountain.

They lost half of their troops and lost their morale.

Originally, they had already retreated.

However, after encountering Princess Kexia, some thoughts arose in their hearts.

Finally, they set their sights on Poisonous Peach Mountain.

Part of the reason is their aligned goals, and another reason is what Princess Kexia said.

"Our goal isn’t to attack the city, we just need to kill that archaeologist named Kro.

As long as we’re not attacking the city, what do the poisons of that city have to do with us?"

This very sentence made that leader realize.

Thus, they hid away at a relatively distant place from the mountain, waiting for Gu Xi or Kro to leave.

In their eyes, Poisonous Peach Mountain is all poison, not a place where normal humans can live.

They are gambling, betting that Gu Xi and Kro can’t always stay in Poisonous Peach Mountain.

They definitely need to come down for food or leave directly.

In their eyes, Gu Xi and others came merely to complete a task, and the situation at Poisonous Peach Mountain seemed like the Elf City buried underground for years, reappearing.

Usually, people leave quickly after completing tasks and receiving rewards.

At most, dragging on for three to five days.

They chased all the way here, three to five days is something they can wait out.

Once outside Poisonous Peach Mountain’s range, if attacked, Poisonous Peach Mountain won’t assist.

After all, it would be outside the attack range; what reason would Poisonous Peach Mountain have to intervene?

The Centaurs were previously wiped out because they rushed in blindly.

Their current tactic involves waiting outside, waiting for Gu Xi and others to come out themselves.

Originally planning to wait for three to five days, those people became quite happy when Kro directly left first.

Just as they settled down to ambush, he delivered himself to them.

This showed their plan was correct.

Thus, these people instantly rushed out, heading towards Kro.

And their attack naturally drew Silia’s attention, turning the situation into what it is now.
