The situation was finally under control.
Gu Xi had been about to breathe a sigh of relief and turn to deal with the Ghoul Shadows already on the wall when the Ghoul Shadow Hero made another move just as he relaxed.
This time, even Gu Xi had to admit that the Ghoul Shadow Hero before him was truly the sort of Hero with a wildly imaginative mind, one who put surprises above all else.
Gu Xi had clearly already brought the situation under control.
Yet with one flash of inspiration, he had managed to bring out another characteristic of the Ghoul Shadows.

The Ghoul Shadow Hero shrieked.
Gu Xi could not hear what the other party said, but that was clearly what he meant.
At the same time, he saw another group of roughly a thousand Ghoul Shadows rush out. Their bodies automatically expanded outward, growing larger and larger as though they were being inflated.
These thousand-odd Ghoul Shadows were not particularly high-level.
Because they were too far away, Gu Xi could not clearly judge their exact strength.
However, judging by their size, Gu Xi could tell that they were low-level cannon-fodder Ghoul Shadows.
Yet once they inflated themselves, their bodies grew many times larger.
They then rammed aside the undead blocking their path, forcibly squeezing into the opened Ghost Gates and using their bodies to plug every one of them.
Gu Xi had possessed the Ghost Gate Opening skill for so long, yet this was the first time he had discovered that opened Ghost Gates could be blocked.

More than a thousand Ghoul Shadows were blown into powder,
