The skill of Bewitch the Heart doesn't actually have a strong effect on the undead.

It is common knowledge that the dead have no heart.

Gu Xi didn't want to hypnotize the enemy, but just to make the enemy momentarily confused.

As expected, as Gu Xi made his move, the Abomination, which was resisting the focused fire of the Skeleton Archer, suddenly paused.

The speed at which he swung the iron rod in his hand also slowed down considerably, just as the Skeleton Archer Leader launched a second wave of concentrated fire.

This time, the Abomination was unable to withstand the attacks; over a hundred arrows pierced his face.

If it weren't for the fact that Hatred itself has a strong life force, he might have died from that one blow.

At this moment, hatred was also provoked.

He no longer cared about ambushes; he raised the iron rod in his hand and charged towards Gu Xi.

Gu Xi pointed in the direction of hatred.

The Undead Tendrils! Numerous arms and tentacles rose from the ground, gripping the Abomination's legs tightly, preventing him from moving forward.

The situation on the abomination's side was then discovered by the ordinary Skeleton.

The Skeleton gained a lot of experience and benefits from killing the Red Skin Dried Corpse.

Seeing that there was another bargain to be had, a large number of Skeleton pounced on them.

The Skeleton leaped onto the abomination, scratching and biting it.

The hatred was already angry because it couldn't move, and now it only added fuel to the fire.

Abomination swung his iron bar, sweeping away the Skeleton on his body with a single sweep.

But more and more Skeleton pounced on the abomination, just to bite it or tear off a piece of flesh from its body.

Seeing the situation before him, Gu Xi ignored Abomination and pointed at the Red Skin Dried Corpse who were trying to rescue Abomination. A White Bone Storm quickly formed, blocking the path of the Red Skin Dried Corpse' attack.

"Luna!"

Luna knew what he was planning as soon as she heard that. She quickly led the Ghost into the group of red- Red Skin Dried Corpse, attracting their attention.

Without the help of the Red Skin Dried Corpse, the Abomination couldn't withstand wave after wave of Skeleton attacks.

After killing three waves of Skeleton, the Abomination finally couldn't hold on any longer.

His body was covered in wounds; the flesh that had been stitched to him had broken and scattered all over the ground, and only the bones and internal organs that were pieced together remained.

At this point, it can be seen that this abomination has been fitted with an abnormal amount of internal organs. In addition to seven lung pieces in its chest, there are four hearts of different sizes and with different treatment methods.

At the same time, a row of brains submerged in liquid was installed on his back, on both sides of his spine.

It is clear that this abomination's ability to be both literate and martial is inseparable from these internal organs.

Now, things are different. Since the flesh and blood of the abomination were torn apart, these internal organs have become useless.

The Skeleton tore off the internal organs one by one, and Skeleton even placed them on their own bodies.

The abomination still wanted to retrieve his internal organs, but his flesh and blood had been completely consumed, and his life force had been reduced to its lowest point. The only reason he was still alive was because his head had not yet been cut off.

But that's about it. How can a hatred that can't move an inch stop someone from ripping its head off?

Finally, the detestable bones were dismantled, leaving only the head with a string of brains, which was then presented to Gu Xi.

Looking at the offerings brought by the ordinary Skeleton, Gu Xi couldn't help but chuckle, "They even know how to make offerings?"

Gu Xi wanted to refuse, but when he looked at what the Skeleton were offering, a thought struck Gu Xi.

"Let the Skeleton clean up the battlefield themselves. Give Skeleton 30% of what they get, and take back the rest, Luna!"

Upon hearing Gu Xi's command, Luna looked at Gu Xi and saw that Gu Xi was pointing at the things the Skeleton had snatched from the Red Skin Dried Corpse.

Luna and Gu Xi had a high level of understanding, and she immediately understood Gu Xi's idea. She quickly flew towards the City Gate, intending to mark out a piece of land there and have the Skeleton there hand over the spoils of this battle.

As for whether it was right or wrong to make these Skeleton hand over their items, Luna didn't even consider it.

What necromancer needs to consider the thoughts of the undead?

Gu Xi was willing to give them 30% only because he saw that they still had growth potential. If they were Skeleton that couldn't grow, they wouldn't even get a share of the spoils while cleaning up the battlefield.

Just as Luna was about to leave, Gu Xi said again, "Luna, bring out all kinds of armor and other gear from the city. When the battle here ends, I'll have the level 3 or higher Skeleton Soldier go over and change into their new gear."

"I've figured it out from this battle. The enemy is quite strong. We can't just use Skeleton as cannon fodder indiscriminately; we need to select some with potential and nurture them."

Luna nodded to indicate that she understood, and then quickly floated towards the City Gate.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi was directing the Skeleton Archer Leader to unleash a barrage of fire on the more chaotic and difficult-to-attack areas of the battlefield.

Under Gu Xi's command, the battlefield was gradually brought under control, and the Skeleton that had just crawled out of the Undead Scourge Magic Array were growing stronger in the battle.

Some of them have a more aggressive fighting style and have even reached level 3, becoming official Skeleton Soldier.

However, the weapons they wield are still bone weapons. After becoming Skeleton Soldier, they have no direction or anything, and they use whatever weapon they have on hand.

Gu Xi fought in a chaotic manner, which he himself could see. If he hadn't seized the opportunity and disrupted the enemy's rhythm, who knows what would have happened in the end.

Therefore, these undead must be adjusted.

Some tough jobs have to be taken on.

These Skeleton absolutely must learn the Spearmen combat style from Battle Squad 1.

This type of Spearmen has the simplest and most practical fighting style, making it the most suitable for fearless Skeleton Soldier.

Moreover, Long Spear are the easiest weapons to make; even without a suitable Long Spear, a stick can be used.

Furthermore, regular Axe Hand should also be included, so that they can finish off the enemy after the Long Spear have charged past.

Only with proper coordination can these Skeleton grow stronger through repeated battles.

Otherwise, they'll die and then summon more, only to die again, ultimately becoming nothing more than cannon fodder.

They can still achieve victory now with Gu Xi's help, but what if there are more enemies later?

Who knows what kind of enemies Gu Xi will encounter here next, so Gu Xi has to think about his own future.

After returning this time, all the Skeleton that can be upgraded to level 3 will be equipped and retrained.

At that time, they will be the main force in the Gu Xi campaign.
