As Gu Xi broke through the Undead Scourge Ritual Magic Circle, he suddenly turned around and discovered that behind him was a huge Magic Array shrouded in a pale purple light.

The position he was guarding was merely one point within this Magic Array.

Nearly a hundred defensive points similar to his were forming a large Magic Array around a straight pillar of light.

A large number of undead are being generated and gathered in this Magic Array, and eventually mobilized to different locations.

If any enemy dares to breach the ritual circle of the Undead Scourge, they will become part of the Magic Array, used to replenish its energy after death, and ultimately become a Skeleton within the Undead Scourge.

At this point, Gu Xi also understood his mission.

What he was guarding was a node in the Magic Array, which was also a node to be attacked.

This place is constantly emitting an aura that attracts enemies.

Without even looking, Gu Xi could tell that other players at the same node were now directing their newly acquired three thousand Skeleton to prepare for defense.

But Gu Xi is different.

Gu Xi had only one thought: now that he had become a necromancer, what was there to be afraid of charging into battle with the undead?

That's real skill – killing the enemy outside your defensive range.

Having grasped the current Gu Xi, Gu Xi turned his hand and pointed the Cold Wind Staff at the Red Skin Dried Corpse who had already begun their charge.

"White Bone Storm!"

In the direction Gu Xi pointed, a tornado formed by a large number of white bones advanced into the Red Skin Dried Corpse.

These bones carry a chilling aura of +3; if you touch them, they will freeze you.

As the White Bone Storm pushed forward, a frozen passage appeared in the midst of the enemy's charging ranks.

This disrupted the charging ranks of the Red Skin Dried Corpse, with the mummies rushing in from behind even crushing their companions in front.

This chaos was immediately seized upon by Luna on the front lines. She pointed in the direction of the enemy, and the Skeleton Archer Leader among the Undead Army understood instantly.

Whoosh! A volley of arrows rained down from the sky, pinning the chaotic enemy to the ground.

Then a group of Skeleton rushed onto the mummies, wielding the simplest weapons, and began hacking and smashing at them.

Because of the fall and the chaos, the mummies lost their chance to fight back immediately.

Even though the Skeleton's weapons weren't very good, they quickly gained the upper hand.

At this time, Gu Xi also followed the troops to the front line of the battlefield.

He noticed that at the very back of the procession, nearly thirty red-skinned mummies were carrying a chair made of wood and White Baboon Skin.

Sitting in the chair was a red-skinned being as large as a small mountain.

This red-skinned being looked like a shrunken version of the Abomination.

However, when he looked up, a glint of wisdom flashed in his eyes.

He was the commander of this Red Skin Dried Corpse unit.

He is one of the few White Walkers leaders who possesses both wisdom and martial prowess.

Unlike the other White Walkers, he considered himself a general, and that fighting on the battlefield was what he should do.

He didn't want to use underhanded methods to infiltrate and plot against others.

He will only be happy if he can break through the enemy's defenses head-on.

He would also personally kill some of the enemies he considered enemies and sew their corpses onto his body.

In his mind, only in this way could he be worthy of such a battle.

The chaotic scene before him was not what he wanted.

Seeing his carefully trained Red Skin Dried Corpse running amok again, the abomination became enraged. He reached down and grabbed an iron rod with a hook in his hand.

"Get out of my way!"

The Abomination roared loudly, and the Red Skin Dried Corpse in front of him quickly parted to the sides. The Abomination charged forward, roaring as he went.

"Watch me, the First Brigade, charge with me."

With other troops flanking them from both sides, how many of them didn't see it?

"Surround them, and then... damn it, who shot me in the back?"

Before the abhorrent command could be fully delivered, a Bone Spike struck him in the face.

The power of the ice almost froze his mouth.

Looking in the direction from which the Bone Spike flew, Abomination saw Gu Xi standing on the Evil Coffin, holding the Frost Staff and pointing it at him.

This did not provoke hatred's anger. He decisively looked around, trying to find the reason for the other party's move.

In the eyes of hatred, Gu Xi was nothing more than a necromancer.

A necromancer who should have been stationed in the rear appeared on the front lines and even provoked me.

This is completely illogical.

Therefore, there must be an ambush nearby. This necromancer is just bait. He wants to lure me there, separate me from the main army, and then kill me first.

Many thoughts flashed through my hateful mind.

At the same time, I also thought of many ways to deal with it.

However, he never expected that Gu Xi hadn't thought that far ahead. The reason he attacked Abomination was simply because he happened to see Abomination rush out.

In order not to affect the battle situation at the front, Gu Xi did not mind taking action.

If there were any ulterior motives, then Bone Spike shouldn't have been used; Gu Xi could have learned about other skills instead.

Upon realizing that his first attack had not caused much damage to the Abomination, Gu Xi began preparing his second move.

While Abomination was still pondering whether Gu Xi had some ulterior motive, Gu Xi had already cast a spell in that direction.

White Bone Storm!

A White Bone Storm rapidly formed around the abomination, and countless bones relentlessly struck it, each blow taking many lives.

Even hatred is now beyond comprehension.

He had clearly thought of many ways to deal with himself, so why didn't he use them over there?

A necromancer couldn't possibly be that incompetent.

There must be something wrong here.

While resisting the attack of the White Bone Storm, Gu Xi was also somewhat stunned as he pondered this question.

What's wrong with this guy? Does he think he can just ignore my attacks because he has a lot of health?

Gu Xi thought for a moment, then turned around and shouted, "Skeleton Archer Leader, focus fire!"

The Skeleton Archer Leader knew who their target was as soon as he saw the situation on Gu Xi's side.

He raised his longbow to the sky with his left hand, and all the Skeleton Archer looked at him.

Then the Skeleton Archer Leader drew his bow, and a bone arrow flew towards the abomination with a whoosh.

Hearing the sound, Abomination raised its head and saw a massive barrage of arrows raining down on it.

Only then did Abomination realize what was happening. He twirled the iron rod in his hand, and with a clang, quickly deflected many of the arrows.

But at this moment, Gu Xi also made his move again, pointing the Mind Nether Lamp in the direction of hatred.

Bewitch the Heart!
