Spoils of the Battlefield
"Get moving! Move all the corpses that aren't affected by the Summoning into the sphere of influence of the Undead Scourge Magic Array. Also, pick up everything you can find on the ground and take it away. Don't leave a single thing behind."
After glancing at the Skeleton Magician Head, Gu Xi turned his attention to the battlefield outside.
Cleaning up the battlefield needs to be done quickly, since other nodes are still fighting, and Gu Xi is unsure when new enemies will arrive at their location.
However, the newly summoned undead were hardworking and diligent, and both Skeleton and Zombie were skilled at cleaning up the battlefield.
Their teamwork was far more seamless than their fighting skills.
Before long, a large number of intact corpses were dragged into the Undead Scourge ritual array.
Just as Gu Xi had guessed, as soon as these corpses were thrown into the magic array, they were immediately affected by the array and began to be transformed according to the condition of the corpses.
Those with more intact flesh and blood were instantly transformed into Zombie.
Those whose flesh and blood are not completely intact will become Skeleton.
Those who are unlucky enough to not even have a complete corpse will have to wait and see.
A soul of a sufficiently high level or relatively Complete Soul can be transformed into Ghost.
If there's nothing left, then it can only become a bone weapon to equip newly risen undead.
Of course, due to incompleteness, the corpses thrown in will always retain some flesh and blood after becoming new undead.
However, all this flesh and blood will quickly turn into black liquid and be absorbed by the Undead Scourge Magic Array, leaving not a trace behind.
This makes things much easier for the players guarding these nodes; at least they don't need to clear the battlefield, they only need to count the loot left behind.
But Gu Xi didn't have such a good opportunity.
He placed the battlefield outside the node he was guarding.
While this method was safer, the end result was that after each battle, he had to send people to clean up the battlefield, and sometimes he would miss some good items left behind.
This forced Gu Xi to personally go into battle and check if there were any areas he had overlooked.
This action actually allowed Gu Xi to find some good things.
Two White Baboon Skin of different qualities. One comes from a midfield commander-type leader. His baboon skin is well-preserved and of green quality, and can be used as evidence that Gu Xi killed the Otherworldy Ghost Leader.
The other item was torn to pieces. When Gu Xi got his hands on it, only a baboon's head remained. Of course, this thing was gray and could be used to study the special information in the baboon skin.
In addition, because one of the leaders was transformed into Skeleton Magician Head, his original equipment was also affected, and nothing was left behind.
However, the other Otherworldy Ghost Leader, because Luna was in a hurry to return to support Gu Xi, did not deal with or clean up the battlefield.
In addition, Gu Xi's Summoning did not affect this area, which is why two pieces of equipment were preserved undamaged.
One of them was a tattered hood, which looked just like the hoods worn by normal mages.
However, this thing has no relation to mages; on the contrary, it is a favorite of leaders such as commanders.
[Blood Brain Hood (Green, Helmet)]
[Defense: 1]
[Equipment Requirement: Intelligence 1]
[Special: When equipped by a leader, such as a chieftain, Hero, or boss, the number of enemies they command is doubled.]
[Note: This hood may look worn, but it will give you a more commanding presence.]
Holding the Blood Brain Hood, Gu Xi thought seriously for a moment. If Dimi took off his bohemian-style hat and put this tattered hat on, Dimi would definitely go crazy.
As for the others...
Gu Xi eventually summoned the Skeleton Head of Battle Squad 1 and handed him the Blood Brain Hood.
After all, the Long Spear Skeleton Soldier are one of the most suitable units on the battlefield.
Now, Battle Squad 1 can also expand its manpower.
The other piece of equipment would be relatively better for Gu Xi.
This is a half-person-high basket that looks somewhat damaged, containing some food that is clearly outdated and even rotten.
But for Gu Xi, this was a good thing.
[Rotting Endless Food Basket (Green): Provides 100 units of rotten food daily for the undead to consume. Consuming this food temporarily increases a certain attribute of the undead by 1.]
[Note: Eat your fill! Even if you're a ghost, die a full one!]
This stuff is for the undead to eat. Although we don't know how much 100 units of rotten food is, we can be sure that Gu Xi's undead soldiers will love it.
Moreover, on the battlefield, increasing an attribute by 1 point is equivalent to gaining an extra chance of survival, which for Gu Xi is equivalent to gaining an extra chance of victory.
This is definitely better than getting some potions.
"This is a good thing, take it to the City Gate."
Gu Xi pointed to the [Rotting Endless Food Basket] and summoned two Skeleton who carried it away.
Finally, he joined the other Skeleton on the battlefield to search for the remaining items.
At first, Gu Xi thought that this time he would get a lot of gray junk or white useless items again.
But Gu Xi never expected that he would actually find something among all this trash this time.
It was a small clump of grass that looked like seaweed.
Gu Xi didn't pay attention to this thing at first, until he held it in his hand and realized that it was actually a blue item.
I don't know if it was just good luck or something else.
[Murderous Waterweed (Blue): Can be placed in the city moat. Murderous Waterweed will grow in the moat, and all enemies entering the moat will remain there for 30 seconds.]
At first, Gu Xi was still wondering why the water plants in the moat, which could only trap the enemy, were called "Murderous Waterweed."
But he immediately realized what was happening.
The characteristics of the moat should also be taken into account.
According to the Building Blueprint that Gu Xi obtained, the moat in his possession can cause enemies entering the moat to suffer 3 points of damage per second.
In other words, 90 points of health were lost in just 30 seconds.
Enemies with relatively weak vitality may not even be able to get past the moat, let alone attack the city.
This is a great thing; we can use it once the moat is built.
With this in mind, Gu Xi casually put the [Murderous Waterweed] into his pocket.
He then started looking at other things, hoping his luck would improve again and he could find one or two more good items.
However, even after cleaning up the battlefield, Gu Xi couldn't find any suitable items. At most, he sorted through the gray trash and white materials, packed them up, and sent them to the City Gate for further processing.
