Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 705 703: Bountiful Rewards That Drive One Mad

In the time that followed, Gu Xi proceeded forward.

He never expected that during this time, what restricted his growth was not the strength of the enemy, but his inability to attend to everything.

Gu Xi could kill all the enemies in an underground space within an hour and perform Summoning in about ten minutes to replenish the troops he wanted.

However, it took nearly six hours to completely clear an underground space.

This doesn't even include the travel time.

After conquering two more underground spaces, Gu Xi realized that this method wouldn't work.

There are over a hundred underground spaces here.

Gu Xi couldn't possibly take them all down one by one.

He couldn't oversee all the battles personally.

If Gu Xi constantly focused on the conversion effect of the Double Death, he would lose even more.

So, Gu Xi stopped his advance and began to think seriously.

Finally, Gu Xi smiled somewhat helplessly.

He truly treated his Double Death Talent as a treasure, forgetting the goal of coming here this time.

Can the Level 1 and Level 2 Undead in Yalidov City compare to the Level 8 Undead Corps that Gu Xi personally summoned?

Anyone sensible would know what to choose.

Gu Xi was deceived by himself, thinking he could control everything.

After understanding all this, Gu Xi made a decisive decision.

He called out all the heroes idling in Yalidov City.

Even Amirka was not spared and was directly dragged out by Gu Xi.

For these heroes, Gu Xi's requirements were simple, not to act as fighters, but as intermediaries.

The main force in this battle was the Undead Bosses under Gu Xi and those Undead Corps.

Gu Xi required these heroes to do one thing, clearly inform these Undead Bosses and Undead Soldiers of their own locations.

The rest was up to the Undead Bosses.

All the Undead Bosses could depart with ten times the number of Undead Soldiers besides their accompanying Undead Corps.

Their objective was singular: to seek and enter every underground space and kill all the enemies within.

Since they were only at the Boss Level, Gu Xi didn't have the time to pair each with an owl, let alone a crow.

So, Gu Xi simply let every Undead Boss carry a White Impermanence split from the Ghost Squad.

Gu Xi could perceive the location of each Undead Boss through the sense of the Ghost Squad.

After killing all the enemies in the underground space, the Undead Boss could report the situation to the nearby hero.

By then, the heroes could organize manpower to transport the bodies to Gu Xi.

Each time there were ten thousand corpses, Gu Xi would perform Summoning once to replenish the troops he needed.

As for the other resources obtained in this battle, Gu Xi calculated the output and value and found it unnecessary to waste manpower and resources to transport them back.

So, with a wave of his hand, Gu Xi let all the participants divide everything except the Purple Armor, even the dilapidated buildings were handled accordingly.

As for Gu Xi, he simply didn't have the time to rest.

Ever since he deployed all his heroes and bosses, Gu Xi only rested for a little over three hours before diving into various busy tasks.

Summoning was just the most basic work.

The most crucial part was Gu Xi personally inspecting every conquered underground space.

Under the guidance of the Ghost Dragon, Gu Xi personally ran to all the ore veins.

Some ore veins still had the Aura of Death, while others had absolutely nothing.

In those ore veins retaining some Aura of Death, Gu Xi, like the Ghost Dragon, used Undead Transformation and the Death Lord's ability in combination to ultimately convert them into Ghost Dragons.

For those veins that had nothing left, even with Gu Xi's power, there was no way to bring them back to life.

In the end, these ore veins were only affordable for the Ghost Dragon and Bone Armor Centipede.

This time, they indeed filled themselves to the brim.

All those hopeless ore veins, along with the cores of those Gu Xi failed to transform, ended up inside them, becoming part of their bodies.

Though their levels didn't improve much.

Their appearances drastically changed; the Ghost Dragon turned a crimson red, with bones emitting a red glow.

And the Bone Armor Centipede grew over twice its original length, filled with various spikes on its back.

From this, it was clear they got what they desired most.

About three days later, when Mido sent word that a passage to the underground space behind the rock wall had been excavated, Gu Xi could barely keep his eyes open.

However, these three days were very rewarding for Gu Xi.

During these three days, the Undead Bosses under Gu Xi cleared sixty-four underground spaces, killing over 173,000 enemies.

Almost every underground space witnessed the slaying of two to three thousand enemies.

Some losses occurred during the transportation of the bodies, and some were too fragmented to be brought over.

Thus, only over 86,000 of them were transformed into the Undead Corps, among which, due to the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe, various Undead Bosses numbered 733.

But for Gu Xi, this was already sufficient.

With over 80,000 Level 8 Undead in hand, what more could you want?

Not to mention, during this period, Gu Xi used thirty-one underground spaces to convert twenty-two Level 13 Ghost Dragons.

This greatly increased the number of Gu Xi's Dragon-type troops.

It could be said that if he continued to grind and cleared all these underground spaces.

Gu Xi could gain at least 150,000 new troops and around fifty Ghost Dragons.

Such a harvest was more than sufficient for Gu Xi, considering he wasn't just a newbie who had just crossed Level 5.

His Soul Summoning Skill had reached Level 10, with a success rate of over 100%.

Additionally, with Undead Enhancement at Level 8, no matter the level of the corpses, the summoned Undead started from Level 8.

So these nearly 150,000 "new recruits" were actually quite competent.

Even without converting all the world's enemies into the Undead, Gu Xi wouldn't lose out.

Now, looking at the information carried over by the owl, Gu Xi felt a bit hesitant.

Should he go or not?

Should he just focus all his energy on the army grinding?

But thankfully, Gu Xi hesitated only briefly before making a decision.

Curiosity made him temporarily set aside Summoning and converting Ghost Dragons, and he traveled through the Yaliduwei City Gate to the initial underground space where he was deployed.
