Chapter 1020 - 1018: Octopus Head Is a Player?
[You have killed Amidandoka (Player, Whip Swordsman, Level 11), you have received 788 points of Experience.]
Player?
How could it be a player?
When Gu Xi saw the information pop up before him, his heart was filled with question marks.
He had never seen a player like this before.
Although among players, there are those who turn themselves into odd, unrecognizable beings.
For example, Black Players, or how a fallen Undead Mage can transform into a Witch Demon.
But those transformations have precedents.
How did the octopus head in front of him transform?
Moreover, Gu Xi hadn’t heard of any city taking such a route.
The most important thing is, the octopus-headed player in front of him seems to not be the only one.
Earlier, he hadn’t noticed the notification when attacking the one controlling the Three-legged Golden Crow.
Now upon reviewing, indeed that octopus head was also a player.
However, he was a Knight, a Level 12 Sky Beast Knight.
In comparison, Gu Xi immediately understood that the two with water guns, those two from the Magic System, are also players.
The situation was clear to see.
Either in a place unknown to Gu Xi, an entire city’s population has been transformed into such octopus heads.
Or these octopus heads belong to another player race that has come into contact with the Game World.
Using ancient terms, they are aliens.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi couldn’t help but look up at the sky.
What on earth is this? Can his worldview still be pieced back together?
But since they have already attacked, then battle it is.
After killing the octopus-headed player named Ami-something, Gu Xi prepared to head with two Death Incarnations towards the Skull Mountain at the Ghost Gate.
However, just as he was about to move, a mass of mud-like Undead emerged from the Skull Mountain at the Ghost Gate.
When these Mud Monsters appeared at the top of Skull Mountain, Gu Xi understood these Mud Monsters were the opponent’s Undead Corps.
Though Gu Xi was somewhat unfamiliar with the Undead situation in front of him, their strength was undeniable.
At the same time, Gu Xi could sense the enemy had a complete Undead Corps system.
In this corps, there was even a Hero present.
This situation was clearly abnormal.
Initially, when he arrived, there were clearly only five of them gathered. How could there suddenly be such an army?
Speaking of an Undead Mage bringing their own corps around them,
that’s simply impossible.
Most of the time, Undead Mages can either bring around a small number of Undead corps or have no way of collecting them.
Otherwise, when Gu Xi first joined the Chaoyang Radiance Guild, he wouldn’t have been used as a tool player for transporting troops.
Previously, Gu Xi really hadn’t noticed the presence of Undead Corps around the opponent.
Also, judging by the current situation of these corps, the likelihood of them being kept away is very small.
After excluding some unrealistic options, the remaining ones, no matter how improbable, must be real.
Looking at the mud Undead spilling over the Skull Mountain transformed from the Ghost Gate, Gu Xi spoke without a second thought.
"Death City?"
With these words, the Skull Mountain in the distance collapsed with a loud crash.
A large number of Undead who hadn’t yet crawled out of the Skull Mountain were all crushed back.
At this moment, Gu Xi could also see the City Gate behind the octopus-headed Undead Mage.
As Gu Xi had suspected, this was indeed a technique unique to Death City.
Meanwhile, batch after batch of new Undead troops were emerging from the City Gate.
For the first time, Gu Xi experienced what it’s like to encounter Death City.
From a single City Gate, fully-prepared powerful troops emerged in an endless stream. To withstand such pressure without collapsing, one must be a player with a broad mind.
At this moment, the octopus heads also noticed their comrade killed by a Death Incarnation.
All their expressions were filled with fury.
Only the octopus-headed Undead Mage remained calm.
"Don’t worry, I will avenge Amidandoka, Mikado Element, kill them!"
Under the octopus-headed Undead Mage’s command, a Mud Undead holding a Battle Banner charged out.
The Battle Banner behind this Mud Undead was five meters tall, painted with a mud pattern made up of sixteen skulls.
Unlike other Undead Heroes, this one had at least three complete human heads in its body.
"Leader Level? No aura, level not exceeding 20, the banner behind is interesting, grab it."
Gu Xi judged the enemy’s situation at a glance, then released a tree-built Gate behind him.
Compared to the City Gate of the octopus-headed Undead Mage in front of him, Gu Xi’s Gate was significantly larger.
Simultaneously, there were visible City Walls on either side of the Gate, filled with Scarecrows standing on them, and in front of the Gate was a Moat made of Yellow Sand.
This was Gu Xi’s Garrison Gate.
Upon seeing such a Gate appear behind Gu Xi, the octopus-headed Undead Mage shrieked.
"How is this possible, how could you master two Divine Skills at once!"
Gu Xi completely ignored him.
Amirka emerged with his Nether Blue Knight Order from the Garrison Gate.
Joining them were the White Robed Iron Cavalry draped in rainbows.
Upon seeing the situation, Amirka didn’t need to be told to understand Gu Xi’s intention.
For now, the White Robed Iron Cavalry would be temporarily under his command.
Amirka immediately shifted his focus to the Mud Undead army that had formed.
"Notice that Leader Level in front, kill him, the banner behind him will be yours. With a Battle Banner, your Nether Blue Knight Order is halfway complete. Just need a base after that, and it’s done."
Upon hearing this, Amirka was visibly excited.
"Nether Blue Knights, Ghost Light!"
Then all the Nether Blue Knights raised their Long Spears, shouting at the Mud Undead before them.
"Ghost Light! Charge!"
As Gu Xi released his Gate, the octopus-headed Undead Mage’s eyes went wide.
He looked maniacal, his face’s Tentacles flailing wildly, shrieking in incomprehensible language.
However, their words carried a certain effect of Spirit murmuring.
Even if unwilling or unable to understand, the words were still transmitted to others’ ears.
"How is it possible, how could he have mastered Death City?"
Still the same sentences, Gu Xi had begun to doubt if Death City was indeed this guy’s Skill.
Why did it seem so much different?
But Gu Xi paid no further attention. After Amirka’s strike, Gu Xi’s other forces charged out as well.
Gu Xi’s three most traditional camps: Black Spear Camp, Bone-Slaying Camp, and Demon Sacrifice Camp were now all near the Garrison Gate.
Upon reaching the battlefield, they did not need Gu Xi’s direction, taking up their optimal positions on their own.
