As the Undead Scourge Magic Array conducted its internal self-check, an eerie silence descended upon the entire battlefield once more.

Surprisingly, the White Walkers did not take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

This surprised Gu Xi.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Xi finally managed to reorganize his troops.

Gu Xi discovered that, after the battle and subsequent replenishment, the ranks he had just filled were now short of members again.

Of the 1,404 Skeleton Soldier, more than 700 died in battle, leaving only 701 Skeleton Soldier. Even the normal formation of several Battle Squad and the Bonecleaver Battalion could not be replenished.

The Zombie are even more direct, because those who died in the initial battle were all Zombie, and the ones summoned by the necromancy were in the very center of the battlefield. Now there are only 52 Zombie left alive, which is no longer a team.

Only the Ghost are alright; their numbers haven't decreased much, and their levels have even increased somewhat.

As for the Skeleton replenished by the Undead Scourge Magic Array, and the undead dragged in and transformed from corpses, they didn't receive much of a boost because Gu Xi missed the Victor's Reward.

Most importantly, their weapons and equipment were not upgraded.

Whether they were sent by the Undead Scourge Magic Array or crawled out of piles of corpses, they all came empty-handed.

This left Gu Xi, who was hoping to get something for free, speechless.

How can we fight without weapons?

It's impossible to just let them charge forward and wait for the undead around them to die so they can inherit the weapons of the other undead.

Just then, the ground shook again, and another batch of undead crawled out from underground.

This batch of undead was not the same few Skeleton that came to deliver the base as before; this time, a total of two thousand Skeleton Soldier crawled out.

They were all level 4, with 1,500 being proper Skeleton Soldier wielding swords and shields, and the other 500 being Skeleton Mage whose upper bodies floated in the air.

Actually, these Skeleton Soldiers were sent by the Mage Leader as a reward for Gu Xi.

This was to thank Gu Xi for discovering the problem with the Undead Scourge Ritual Array.

The Mage Leader just checked and found that Gu Xi's situation is actually quite good.

At the other ninety-nine nodes, most of the bases had been replaced.

If it hadn't been discovered in advance, the Undead Scourge Magic Array in the next wave of battle.

At that time, all the Negative Energy they have accumulated and the large number of dead will be controlled by the White Walkers and eventually become part of the White Walkers.

This is a serious blow to the Mage Leader.

The Mage Leader had reason to believe that a powerful Chief-level was directing the White Walkers' ranks.

So after quickly replacing the base, the Mage Leader sent Gu Xi this army.

This was to reward Gu Xi for this discovery.

At the same time, the Mage Leader also figured out the problem this time.

Of the hundred nodes, only Gu Xi managed to keep the enemy outside the Undead Scourge Magic Array.

The rest involves luring the enemy into the nodes and fighting them using the Negative Energy and characteristics within those nodes.

This gives the enemy the opportunity to change the base.

Even after figuring out the reasons, the Mage Leader still couldn't get the players to go out and fight.

He was well aware of the strength of the necromancers he had chosen.

Apart from Gu Xi, whose potential is somewhat unfathomable, the rest of his potential is already obvious.

Sending them to fight the Others outside the Undead Scourge Magic Array is tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

Even the Mage Leader couldn't force them to go out.

Now the Mage Leader can only hope that Gu Xi will use the extra troops he sent to engage the White Walkers in another spell.

He will then have a safe node to serve as a backup plan.

Gu Xi had no idea what the Mage Leader was thinking.

However, the addition of these two thousand Skeleton did indeed replenish Gu Xi's obviously depleted combat strength.

At this moment, Gu Xi took stock of what he had in his hands and felt that he was back to normal.

Two of the ten Magic Potion I acquired before entering this world remain, meaning I can summon the Death Avatar twice more.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to withstand the White Walkers' final wave of attacks.

After this is over, he will need to get a larger bottle of Magic Potion, because the current medium-sized bottle of Magic Potion is not enough to fully replenish his mana in one go.

As Gu Xi was considering other things, the token protected behind the City Gate suddenly lit up.

The Mage Leader could be heard speaking intermittently from inside.

"Comrades... attention... begin... be careful... horses..."

Upon hearing this voice, Gu Xi immediately sensed something was wrong.

He quickly ran to the platform where the tokens were placed, and then he was somewhat surprised to find that the white light on the tokens was still there, but it was obviously flickering, as if it had been affected by something.

"Broken!"

Gu Xi immediately understood what was going on.

The enemy has already affected the Undead Scourge Magic Array, and now all the nodes of the magic circle have lost contact.

Then the enemy's final assault will begin.

Gu Xi's heart tightened, and then he heard a series of "poof poof poof" sounds.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Gu Xi discovered that a large number of red balloons had appeared in the sky at some point.

The balloons exploded as soon as they reached the node controlled by Gu Xi, and a large number of colorful paper strips fell from the sky, filling the entire node with an eerie and joyful atmosphere.

The popping sound that Gu Xi heard just now was the sound of balloons popping.

The moment Gu Xi looked up, more and more balloons burst open.

"The Death Avatar."

Gu Xi immediately sensed something was wrong, and he promptly sent out his Death Avatar, hoping it could drive the balloons away.

But Gu Xi was still a step too late.

As the Death Avatar took flight, thousands of red balloons of various sizes flew into the nodes controlled by Gu Xi began to explode.

At first, the balloons that popped released colorful paper strips, but as more and more balloons popped, the paper strips turned into various powders, and the sky became a kaleidoscope of colors.

As the powder fell, Gu Xi realized that his control over the Undead Army seemed to have weakened considerably.

This is a method used to sever the connections between the nodes of the Undead Scourge Magic Array.

Just as Gu Xi realized this, he heard a whooshing sound from afar, as if some dark shape had flashed past him.

As the dark mass flashed by, Gu Xi instinctively covered his head and lowered his head.

But the next instant, Gu Xi heard a whoosh, and the dark thing retreated again.

At this moment, Gu Xi used the top of the window to get a clear look at the situation of that thing.

That was clearly a giant Pirate Ship over 500 Domi long, drifting aimlessly at the point where Gu Xi was being suppressed.

A Pirate Ship's hat, painted with clown makeup, covered in White Baboon Skin, with Iron Hook hands and a one-legged Pirate Leader, stood at the bow of the ship.

Behind him were thousands of bizarre pirates with clown faces painted on their faces.

Their movements showed that they were ready to jump down and launch an attack.
