Just as the Headless Knight charged angrily, the slimes at the Old Woman's place also received orders. They smashed through the Skeleton Soldier blocking their way and began to rush towards Gu Xi.

"Luna!"

At this moment, Gu Xi felt a chill down his spine, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Ah!"

Luna flew out from behind Gu Xi and screamed at the charging enemies.

"The Banshee's Wail!"

As this skill was activated, many slimes that were impossible to kill by shooting or slashing exploded on the spot.

The Headless Knight, however, was not affected much and continued charging forward with them.

At this moment, the Heavy Armor Zombie blocking Gu Xi's way also threw out the Iron Hook in its hand. The Iron Hook with the iron chain got stuck on the leg of the Headless Knight's warhorse, and with a forceful pull downward, it interrupted the Headless Knight's charge.

Seeing that the Headless Knight could not charge, the Ghost quickly pounced.

Gu Xi had previously used Ghost to deal with Otherworldy Ghost Leader of the same level. Although there are fewer Ghost now, they still have the abilities they should have, whether it is attack power or the characteristic of Ghost being immune to half of physical attacks.

At Gu Xi's command, the Ghost pounced on them instantly.

The knight, unable to move, has his combat power halved, and with the Ghost attacking at close range, the Headless Knight's Long Spear has little room to be used effectively.

Before long, the Headless Knight was reduced to a critically injured state.

Just as the Headless Knight was about to be killed, he actually picked up a human head from his left hand and put it on his own neck.

Then, the head that was placed there suddenly opened its eyes wide, braced itself, and blasted the Ghost away.

Then the Headless Knight stomped heavily on the ground, his body retreating dozens of meters backward.

As the Headless Knight landed, Gu Xi attacked again.

He pointed to the location of the Headless Knight, which was a spell.

"Corpse Explosion! Corpse Explosion! Corpse Explosion!"

It turns out that the Headless Knight landed right where the slime exploded and killed him.

When a slime dies, it leaves a puddle of liquid on the ground.

Gu Xi wasn't quite sure if this liquid counted as a corpse, but he didn't want the Headless Knight to have an easy time, so he used the Lesser Corpse Explosion skill immediately.

As it turns out, the Corpse Explosion skill is actually quite useful.

The slime's corpse was a corpse, but the explosion brought with it a large amount of liquid, all of which sprayed onto the Headless Knight.

The Headless Knight's health, which had just been restored, instantly dropped by half again, and at the same time, the Ghost rushed over.

However, the Headless Knight had already created some distance, and he thrust his spear forward, instantly killing a Ghost.

As a result, Gu Xi pointed directly at the spot where the Ghost had died.

"Corpse Explosion!"

The Ghost still hanging on the Headless Knight's Long Spear exploded on the spot.

The shockwave from the explosion sent the Headless Knight's newly attached head flying off.

Without the newly installed head, the Headless Knight's newly restored life vanished again.

This put the Headless Knight in a precarious situation, as numerous Ghost swarmed in from all directions, wildly clawing at Headless Knight.

Under the attacks of the Ghost, many of the Headless Knight's movements were interrupted. Several times he tried to replace his head with another human head, but before he could move, he was dragged away by the Ghost.

Finally, the Headless Knight's armor was removed, revealing the grayish-white skin Grade A-.

[When Ghost (Summoned Creature) kills Otherworldy Ghost Leader (level 9), you gain 3227 experience points (experience +5%, Level Cap, and excess experience stored). All Summoned Creature involved in the attack each gain 33 experience points.]

"Dead? Attack!"

Seeing the information pop up, Gu Xi decisively issued the order.

One of the two Otherworldy Ghost Leader is dead, and all that's left is that seemingly frail Old Woman. If we don't take the initiative now, when will we ever get another chance?

Gu Xi then pointed and released all his troops.

The Skeleton Archer, who had just crawled out of the explosion, immediately charged forward.

Their range is 150 meters, and they are still quite far away. As they charge forward, they adjust their attack angles. When they reach the corresponding positions, all the Skeleton Archer stop, draw their bows, and unleash a volley of fire.

This time, the target of the concentrated fire was the Old Woman. As a magic-based being, she didn't have the thick armor of Death Knight.

Faced with this attack, the Old Woman had no choice but to take a step back. At the same time, she pressed her hands to the ground, and a large number of tree roots popped out from the ground, forming a defensive net in front of Old Woman and blocking the attack.

But the Skeleton Archer seized the opportunity. Without pausing, a second and Third Wave of arrows rained down from the sky, relentlessly striking the Old Woman's defensive netting.

After four waves of attacks, the Old Woman could no longer hold on. The Defense Shield formed by the tree roots shattered, and she took the opportunity to retreat more than ten meters.

At the same time, the slimes that were still alive beside her rushed forward, preparing to attack the Skeleton Archer and buy the Old Woman a chance to retreat.

But at that moment, Gu Xi's three Skeleton units also charged forward.

The Skeleton Soldier of Battle Squad 1 thrust their Long Spear at the slime.

Meanwhile, the Skeleton Soldier of the Bonecleaver Battalion jumped over the slime and chased after the Old Woman.

Seeing that something was wrong, the Old Woman jumped into a crucible. The crucible had long legs at the bottom, like a rooster, which carried the Old Woman into the Princess's Forest.

The remaining cauldrons then proactively approached the Skeleton of the Bonecleaver Battalion, pouring the potions from their Skeleton onto them.

[When Skeleton Soldier (Summoned Creature) kills Active Cauldron (level 5), you gain 1 experience point, the Bonecleaver Battalion gains 1 experience point, and the Summoned Creature gains 13 experience points.]

[When a Skeleton Soldier (Summoned Creature) kills Potion Demon Slime (Level 4), you gain 1 experience point, your Battle Squad gains 1 experience point, and the Summoned Creature gains 8 experience points.]

[...]

As experience tips popped up one after another, Gu Xi knew that the battle was in the bag. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at his side.

At this moment, Gu Xi noticed that Du Wushuang seemed to have disappeared.

This situation puzzled Gu Xi.

Where did this person go?

Just then, an explosion came from behind Gu Xi.

He looked back and saw a giant, blood-red hand reaching out from the ground.

The giant hand was over Mido long. After it emerged from the ground, it quickly pushed off the ground, and a demon with a blood-red body, a pair of curved horns on its head, a height of over five meters, and a White Baboon Skin around its waist crawled out from underground.

At the same time, the Old Woman who had just escaped returned riding his cauldron, followed by a man with white hair, wearing a White Baboon Skin, and carrying a long knife.

Behind the man were more than 700 foot soldiers with Crow Head, wearing straw Bamboo Hat and Zha Armor.

Seeing the situation before him, Gu Xi's expression also became serious.

"This is troublesome!"
