Ambushed at the City's Edge
After Luna explained it to him, Gu Xi realized that his Aryadovi was not absolutely safe.
His forces were still too few.
However, Gu Xi immediately changed the subject.
"Luna, I plan to place both the Withering One and Corpse Poison Fly in the Demon Plant Zone. Is there enough land left here?"
"Maybe not. When the Demon Plant Zone was attacked last time, only one large plot of land remained. We can't build two Training Camp here at the same time."
"That is a problem."
Gu Xi sighed. The territory was still too small. It seemed he had to find some new sources of land.
After all, besides the lack of land in the Demon Plant Zone, the Hundred-Armed Giant Graveyard Zone also lacks land.
Dimi needs three large plots of land for a cemetery, a spirit tomb, and a haunted house.
There are only two sites there now, and Gu Xi needs to find a way to squeeze out another plot of land.
These are all problems! While they were thinking about these things, Gu Xi and his group had already arrived at the edge of the Demon Plant Zone.
The City Gate had already been built, and since it was located in the Demon Plant Zone, City Gate naturally adopted the style of the Demon Plant Zone.
The City Gate in front of us looks like it has been City Gate for a long time. Although the building is still there, it is hidden among the plants.
From a distance, it doesn't look like a City Gate at all.
Beyond the City Gate lay endless mist. Standing at the City Gate, Gu Xi could see black figures flashing through the mist from time to time.
"Shaya, go and try it out and see if the City Gate works."
Gu Xi originally only intended to take a quick look at the City Gate and leave, but seeing the City Gate like this, Gu Xi had to reconsider whether the City Gate was even usable.
If a real war breaks out and the City Gate can't be closed, that would be ridiculous.
With a flip, Shaya jumped to the vicinity of the City Gate. With a gentle push, a large number of vines appeared at the City Gate, completely blocking City Gate.
Seeing this, Gu Xi knew he didn't need to look any further. This City Gate was much better than the City Gate Gu Xi had always used; it was clearly more spiritual.
As the City Gate was reopened, Gu Xi knew that City Gate was usable and that he could deploy troops from different angles simultaneously during battles.
While Gu Xi was studying the City Gate, the moat City Gate had already been completed.
Compared to the City Gate that don't even have city walls, the moat in front of us is quite different; it directly separates the Demon Plant Zone from the mist.
If you want to cross the river, please go through the City Gate.
Oh, no, that's not right either. There's no drawbridge at the City Gate yet, so even if you see the City Gate, you can't cross the river.
The moat is filled with strong green Strong Acid; anyone who steps into it will lose 3 health points per second.
This can be considered the best defense.
Gu Xi was also aware that the moat and city walls could only be summoned to the battlefield at level 9 in the Death City.
But the problem is, just because it's only useful at level 9 doesn't mean Gu Xi shouldn't build a moat.
Does that mean his city still needs regular defenses? What if Aryadovi City is attacked?
That's why Gu Xi wouldn't be foolish enough not to build a moat and city walls.
Gu Xi casually tossed the Murderous Waterweed into the moat, watching them grow rapidly in the Strong Acid. Gu Xi nodded in satisfaction.
He then said to Luna, "By the way, move the construction site of the Lonely Pedestrian Square here later. If we build City Gate here, we'll need a place to store troops."
We can't let the troops stand in the Princess's Forest.
"Good!"
Luna said she had made a note of it.
Gu Xi then glanced at the towering tree root-like tentacles in the Demon Plant Zone, "Is that still in an inactive state?"
"Yes, we have never been able to find out how the Evilwood Lake is activated."
Luna was also helpless about this.
For regular buildings, there should always be activation conditions if they are not activated.
But the evil tree in front of me, formed from the green liquid flowing from its roots, simply says it's inactive without any explanation.
This left Luna speechless.
She arranged for many people to come and investigate, but they couldn't find a corresponding solution.
"You still need to keep an eye on this matter, otherwise it will be troublesome if the Demon Plant Zone cannot be fully utilized in the end."
"Please rest assured, sir, I will handle it."
As he spoke, Gu Xi jumped onto the Evil Coffin again, preparing to go and check out the Magic Tower.
Just then, a roar came from the mist, and a new Ghoul Shadow flew out from the mist.
This was the first time Gu Xi had ever seen a flying Ghoul Shadow Troop.
These Ghoul Shadow are few in number, but they are quite large.
They were all black human heads the size of small cars, with hair eight or nine meters long trailing behind their heads, making them look like salted ribbonfish flying through the sky.
As they emerged from the mist, these enormous heads screamed and lunged at the City Gate located at the edge of the mist.
"Damn it, is this even fair? Luna, call in Gargoyle, Corpse Poison Fly, and Skeleton Mage. Shaya, come along too."
Gu Xi glanced at it and decisively pointed the Cold Wind Staff.
Bone Spike!
The Bone Spike, now shaped like a Longsword Flying Sword, flew towards the nearest person's head.
The flying head hadn't expected Gu Xi to attack it. Caught off guard, it was pierced in the eye by the Flying Sword. The icy power on the Flying Sword instantly froze the head, which tumbled and fell into the newly built moat.
After struggling in the moat filled with corrosive Strong Acid, the head flew up again. However, Gu Xi noticed that all the hair behind the head had disappeared.
At this moment, these people also saw Gu Xi who had taken the initiative to attack, and they all screamed and rushed towards Gu Xi.
But to Gu Xi's surprise, Dimi, who had been watching the commotion from behind, actually took the initiative to make a move.
Her body floated up like Ghost, gracefully arriving in front of a human head. Then, sharp claws shot out from her hands, pressing down on the car-sized head and tearing it apart.
The enormous human head was torn in two.
Black liquid was spilled all over the ground.
Before the other heads could rush towards her, Dimi turned around and stabbed three different colored roses into the heads of the three black men.
The blood-red rose caused the black head to shrink rapidly, turning into a dried-up corpse that slammed heavily to the ground.
The dark blue roses tore the black head to pieces, and before the corpse could fall to the ground, it turned into black specks of light and disappeared into the air.
The gray-white roses tightly entwined the black head, and eventually, using the black head as nourishment, they produced more and more gray-white roses.
Shaya only made her move when Dimi made his.
Holding a dagger in one hand and an Elder Wand stick in the other, she leaped onto the black man's head and struck it heavily with a cross of her weapons.
[Dimi (Undead Headman) killed the Ghoul Evil Flying Head (Level 3). You gained 19 experience points (19 points are reserved for the overflow). The Undead Headman gained 32 experience points.]
[Shaya (Contract Undead) killed the Ghoul Evil Flying Head (Level 4). You gained 24 experience points (24 points were overflow and sealed). The Contract Undead gained 37 experience points.]
