Undead Mage from a Cell-Chapter 352 - 350: Battlefield Meat Grinder Activated (132/173)
Seeing the enemy demon corps initiate a charge, Gu Xi turned to glance at Xia Yi and Wang Baogen.
"Protect yourselves."
Then Gu Xi raised the Cold Wind Staff and struck it heavily on the ground.
The earth resounded with a thunderous boom as if it had been struck.
Then a black ripple with blue light points spread out from Gu Xi as the center towards the surroundings.
This was Gu Xi’s Death Ripple.
Ever since Gu Xi mastered Death Whisper, his understanding of Death Ripple had significantly improved.
Although the level of Death Ripple hadn’t increased, its power had clearly grown.
Within the effect of Death Ripple, there was also a hidden chance of instant death.
However, the effect of Death Ripple not targeting the undead was still present, and with this strike, Xia Yi and Wang Baogen were both taken aback.
They both understood that Gu Xi standing here with just those ragtag undead wasn’t without reason.
That Bone Dragon was one factor, and this Death Ripple was another.
Wang Baogen leaned next to Xia Yi, cautiously saying, "Brother, when that one took the job as an Undead Mage, he probably chose that Death Ripple. When that ripple swept through, I almost lost my soul."
"That’s probably it. I guess he used to be on the mercenary path. Did you see his troops?"
"I saw them. So what? Is there something wrong?"
Wang Baogen was puzzled, with a look of confusion plastered on his face, appearing somewhat foolish.
"Didn’t you notice? Those are all level 4 miscellaneous soldiers. Obviously, they haven’t had specialized training, and their weapons are the worst. These are the newly summoned undead troops.
Think about it; with one Death Ripple, he can kill a large batch of enemies and then casually summon some souls to reach level 4 instantly.
Such a player should have plenty of undead troops under his command.
But where are his undead troops?"
With Xia Yi’s words, Wang Baogen finally realized.
"That’s right. Where are his undead troops?"
"Haven’t you figured it out yet? He sold his undead troops, otherwise how could he possess such a large Bone Dragon. He’s truly an incredible businessman."
Xia Yi looked at Gu Xi, also feeling a sense of admiration, "This time is also a big business. Watch how the coming Undead Mages, anyone who can hit the Demon Sorcerers, will owe him a favor.
And those who gain benefits might even have to give him face.
Not to mention, no one dares ask him about the soul stones; you have to give him credit for that."
Wang Baogen still foolishly stared at everything in front of him, unable to understand the meaning behind Xia Yi’s words.
While they were talking, Gu Xi had already engaged with the enemy demons.
Due to the partial instant death effect of the Death Ripple, part of the demon corps fell on the spot within the Death Ripple.
Gu Xi wasn’t polite either, using the Soul Summoning Skill on those demons.
As souls flew out, the bodies of these deceased demons flipped over and turned into Zombies, attacking the other nearby demons.
And those demons that didn’t die weren’t faring well either.
The effects of Death Ripple caused some injury to these demons, and now with the Zombie attack, the weaker demons were directly killed.
Then Gu Xi’s Soul Summoning Skill fell again, turning more and more demons into Zombies.
In an instant, the subordinate of this Demon Sorcerer player was entangled with the Zombies just summoned by Gu Xi.
No matter how much he wanted to charge at Gu Xi, he no longer possessed the strength.
But even so, Gu Xi didn’t intend to spare him.
With a Magic Potion in hand, Gu Xi wasn’t worried about his mana at all. When there were no corpses to be used for summoning, Gu Xi would unleash Bone Storm and Death Ripple.
Anyway, Gu Xi never considered how much mana he had.
In Xia Yi and their eyes, this overbearing situation was interpreted in another way.
In their eyes, Gu Xi was certainly a great businessman.
Otherwise, how could he have so many Magic Potions to squander?
While they were still observing, two more demon corps appeared from a distance.
At this moment, Xia Yi and Wang Baogen exchanged glances, "One for each, whatever you get is yours."
After confirming the situation, Xia Yi and Wang Baogen led their troops out.
They charged head-on into the demon corps.
The Demon Soldiers were quite strong, but Xia Yi and Wang Baogen clearly were rather powerful Undead Mages. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Xia Yi had money, and even the cannon fodder’s equipment was of the highest quality.
Wang Baogen’s training was good; his seemingly disorganized troops fought with exceptional coordination.
Every soldier would appear in the position they should be.
It could be said his coordination made him the strongest Undead Mage Gu Xi had ever seen.
When the two fought with the demon corps, they had the upper hand against them.
However, they didn’t, like Gu Xi, defeat and resurrect in waves; it was clear they wanted to deal with it after cleaning up the battlefield.
At the same time, the two Undead Mages also had evident changes in their attitudes towards using spells.
Xia Yi looked down on the Dark Guild; their guild excelled in Dark Magic and Undead Magic, and they were best at various curses in Dark Magic.
As a result, they naturally followed the curse route in Undead Magic as well.
When using magic, Gu Xi saw that Xia Yi would directly cast a range curse, either weakening the enemy or making them blind, always finding a way to disable the opponent’s actions.
A weakened enemy, paired with enhanced weapons, could achieve good results even with the weakest undead troops.
In no time, he was at the rear of the demon corps, ready to trouble the Demon Sorcerers.
On the other side, Wang Baogen was different; his approach was steady, and his troops coordinated their movements superbly. Though he faced the demon corps head-on, it still looked like a defensive effort.
His troops seemed to be the center of a tornado, constantly dragging the demon corps into this spot, slowly grinding them down.
At this time, more Undead Mages and Demon Sorcerers arrived.
Seeing such a situation, they immediately engaged.
The arriving Undead Mages knew exactly what they were there for, targeting the Demon Sorcerers as soon as they acted.
But the Demon Sorcerers weren’t aiming to fight the Undead Mages to death; they wanted to seize the Soul Stones.
So before anyone blocked them, they prioritized charging towards the Soul Stone.
As long as no one stopped them, they wouldn’t actively engage in battle with the Undead Mages.
The problem was that the number of coming Undead Mages was actually quite substantial.
After two days and nights of fighting, the number of players in Bailian City already surpassed the combined total of players in Cold Leaf City and Qiufeng City.
So as time passed by the second, the number of Undead Mages increased, turning this battlefield into the focal point of the night.
