The Second Instance Dungeon Quest

He didn't Gu Xi on the matter of the Combat Griffon; at that moment, he realized he had activated the second quest in the dungeon.

[Ding! You interacted with the Barbarian Leader Kado Roar in the dungeon and learned a hidden piece of information, thus activating a new dungeon quest!]

[Instance Quest: Blood-colored Strange Fruit]

[Mission Description: Defeat the eerie entities affecting the interior of Westminster Abbey and obtain the strange, blood-red fruit from them.]

[Task Requirements: Find 100 strange fruits (0/100)]

[Mission Reward: Random Beast-Type Unit Training Advancement Manual (If a city exists, it can be converted into Building Blueprint for a Beast-Type Unit Training Camp; if the modification route is mastered, a Modified Beast Research Manual can be obtained).]

[Note 1: The strange power concentrated in the heart of the person who eats the apple.]

[Note 2: Only a sufficiently powerful supernatural entity can transform its power into supernatural fruits.]

For Gu Xi, the task at hand was good news.

Although the number of strange fruits needed was a bit higher, it was no problem for Gu Xi.

The final reward is something really good.

Gu Xi believed that, given his situation, he would definitely be given Building Blueprint for a Training Camp for beast-type troops. Regardless of the type of troops, he would build it in Aryadovi first.

We can deal with the rest later; let's focus on replenishing our own troops first.

Gu Xi guessed that, judging from the situation of the undead, the wild beasts that could be obtained were either Blood-sucking Bat, Man-eating Wolf, or Spider; other kinds were unlikely to appear.

Most of these units start at level 2, are fast-moving, have strong impact, and are numerous.

It is a supplement to Gu Xi's military strength.

Gu Xi was very concerned about the task at hand.

If they hadn't already entered the underground mausoleum through the passage, Gu Xi might have wanted to go back to Westminster Abbey Square to see if he could kill some of the strange creatures ahead of time.

Seeing that the task plan was working through the chat, Gu Xi quickly started chatting again.

However, even after they arrived at the crack at the edge of the underground mausoleum, Gu Xi had not received any other missions.

At this point, Gu Xi stopped asking questions. He looked up and saw the effects of his explosion.

The crack that Spore Cultist Charlie opened earlier has now become significantly larger after being trapped by Gu Xi's Flame Trap.

Fortunately, neither Anna nor the others knew how big the crack was originally. They were very angry to see that such a part of the underground mausoleum had been blown open, but they did not blame Gu Xi for it.

Upon arriving here, Anna's main force halted.

They sat on the ground, quickly tending to their weapons and eating the food they had brought. Their synchronized movements made Gu Xi feel that his troops seemed to be missing something.

The miscellaneous troops following behind then moved forward.

They crawled out through the blasted crack and quickly set up in the outside space.

Anna and the others knew very well that there was an Underground River beneath Westminster Abbey, and Gu Xi had specifically mentioned that the underground mausoleum had been flooded after it was blown open.

Although the water has been drained, it doesn't mean there's no water in the Underground River outside.

Anna and her group would absolutely not lure the Spore Cultist Charlie into the underground tomb to fight him.

So the soldiers need to do one thing this time: build a dam in the Underground River outside in a short period of time to temporarily divert the river water to other places.

We'll consider other things after this battle is over.

After the rag dolls crawled out of the blasted crack, they quickly got to work.

Among these miscellaneous soldiers, the most skilled in construction were the mages wearing different colored caps.

Don't be fooled by their seemingly weak individual strength and lack of offensive power; they excel at transformation and other maneuvers.

Under their manipulation, a large number of stones flew up from the Underground River and turned into large stone slabs, which were then laid flat on the surface of the Underground River.

Through these means, they managed to carve out a space large enough for people to stand in.

Meanwhile, the other soldiers also had places to stand, unlike Gu Xi before, who could only stand in the cracks to fight the enemy.

However, such open spaces cannot exist indefinitely.

The issue of diverting river water still needs to be addressed.

Gu Xi's Undead Army was chosen as the primary source of labor. The undead were not afraid of water at all, so the Grand Duke approached Gu Xi and asked Gu Xi to send troops into the water to seal off several Underground River.

"This task wasn't originally assigned to you. There are several necromancers in the grunt squad, but I see you've been working very hard, so I can't let you come here for nothing, right?"

If you complete this task, I will give you credit.

"Oh, right, we can't seal off the waterway. We'll reopen it after we take down this guy."

With the guidance of the Grand Duke, Gu Xi also saw the underwater outlets.

Gu Xi then realized that the Underground River had already been treated by the Britain.

There are many traces of artificial excavation inside the waterway.

Gu Xi only needs to move some stones to the waterway to block it.

Any necromancer could do this.

The Grand Duke's decision to give Gu Xi job was truly an opportunity for him.

"Don't worry, Grand Duke, I will definitely do a good job."

"Alright, I'll leave it to you. But be careful. This Underground River is part of Victoria City's Water Network Defense Line. There are some piranhas in it. Don't go in yourself; let the Skeleton Soldier go."

"Water Network Defense Line? What's that?"

Gu Xi asked curiously, as he had a feeling that this thing seemed very important.

"You probably don't know this, but generally speaking, every city has groundwater, right? If the city is more sophisticated, it should also have Sewer. These are the components of Water Network Defense Line."

Don't underestimate the Water Network Defense Line. You might not know that if it's well-planned, it could even be used to garrison troops underground.

Listening to the Grand Duke's words, Gu Xi thought of the mission in the Barracks of Aryadovi City.

In his Barracks Expedition Mission, no matter how the situation changed, there was always a task to Clear the Sewer.

At first, Gu Xi thought it might be because the task was easy.

It seems that this is not the case now.

When Gu Xi activated the Water Well, he first dug the Sewer.

Gu Xi had witnessed the vastness of the Sewer of Aryadovi City.

It's not impossible to arrange one or two open spaces here.

It seems I'll have to pay more attention to Clear the Sewer when I get back.
