Treasure Chest and Level Up (Bonus Chapter Requesting Follow-up Reading)

As Luna rushed over, Gu Xi was still slowly walking through the sewers.

At this moment, he was still wondering why the battle hadn't started yet, and why he hadn't heard any kill notifications.

Luna's shout surprised Gu Xi a bit. He curiously followed Luna, wanting to see what had happened.

They only went forward three hundred meters or so before Luna stopped at a certain spot, pointing to a crack in the sewer wall.

"My lord, look here."

Gu Xi approached the crack and glanced inside, discovering a corpse that had already turned into a skeleton. On the skeleton's back were several burlap sacks.

Because the sewer was actually quite dry, the corpse's bones were relatively well-preserved, especially the burlap sacks, which didn't have that wet, sticky feeling.

"What's going on here?"

"Not sure." Luna shook her head and said, "The only thing I can tell is that this crack was already here, and I don't know how this corpse appeared inside."

"Alright, I'll handle this side. You go deal with the other end of the sewer."

As Gu Xi spoke, he took out a complete soul.

Luna knew what Gu Xi was up to as soon as she saw it. Without saying anything, she floated towards the other end of the sewer.

At this moment, Gu Xi sent the complete soul towards the corpse.

"Summoning!"

[You failed to use Summoning, gaining 1 point of Summoning experience.]

As a notification sound rang out, the corpse stuck in the crack exploded on the spot, bone fragments scattered all over the ground. In the end, nothing was left except for the burlap sacks.

Somewhat helpless, Gu Xi could only use his Bone Shatter wooden stick to rummage through the crack, finally managing to drag out the burlap sack.

[You have picked up Joseph's backpack. Do you want to open it?]

"Open it!"

[You have obtained Ancient Coins: 1 pound, 3 shillings, 3 pence.]

[You have obtained Dried Bread (Gray) *1]

[Dried Bread (Gray): Trash, inedible food, can be exchanged for 1 penny.]

[You have obtained Land Purchase Order (White) *1]

[Land Purchase Order (White): A Victoria City Land Purchase Order issued in 1777. The Land Purchase Order records that Joseph's farm outside the city was forcibly requisitioned. He can use this Land Purchase Order to exchange for a plot of land no larger than 300 square meters in the Camden District of Victoria City to build a house. No one may stop him.]

[You have obtained Hearthstone (Green) *1]

[Hearthstone (Green): A stone brought from the fireplace. In addition to containing a certain longing for the homeland, it also has some peculiar power.]

Looking at the things poured out of the burlap sack, Gu Xi was a bit silent.

He guessed that this was likely a farmer who sold his farm in 1877 and came to Victoria City to make a living, but he wanted too much.

He actually thought the Land Purchase Order was useful, and in the end, he was thrown into the sewer.

And his luck was either good or bad. He was injured and probably crawled in the sewer for a long time, dying in the oldest sewer in Victoria City.

Afterwards, for some reason, everything about him was copied to this sewer, and finally, he got stuck in the crack.

Now, these things belonged to Gu Xi.

Putting the things back into the burlap sack, Gu Xi carried it on his back, and then headed towards the end of the sewer, carrying the Bone Shatter wooden stick.

At this time, the battle at the end of the sewer had already begun.

With the previous battle, this battle was actually even simpler.

As Gu Xi walked forward, various messages kept popping up in front of him.

[Skeleton Soldier (Summon) kills Ghoul Rat (Level 0), you gain 0 experience, Battle Squad gains 0 experience, Summon gains 1 experience.]

[Skeleton Soldier (Summon) kills Ghoul Rat (Level 1), you gain 1 experience, Battle Squad gains 1 experience, Summon gains 4 experience.]

[Skeleton Soldier (Summon) kills Giant Ghoul Rat (Level 2), you gain 1 experience, Battle Squad gains 1 experience, Summon gains 16 experience.]

[...]

Ding, total experience has reached the upgrade standard, please choose whether to upgrade.

The sudden ding sound brightened Gu Xi's eyes. He had reached the upgrade standard again?

Gu Xi quickly stopped and checked the upgrade information.

After upgrading, the level will be raised to Level 3, Life and Mana will be fully restored, all negative statuses will be cleared, Strength +1, and choose one of the following three skills as a reward.

Bone Spike: Active skill, upgradeable, consumes 3 Mana, releases a spike composed of bones, dealing 35-60 points of damage to the enemy.

Rotten Land: Active skill, upgradeable, consumes 5 Mana, turns the surrounding ten square meters of land into Rotten Land, which can provide negative energy for the undead to survive and rest, and deals 10 points of damage every 5 seconds to creatures that step on the Rotten Land.

Bone Prison: Active skill, upgradeable, consumes 5 Mana, uses a corpse to form a Bone Prison with Life in the designated area (the Bone Prison's Life is equivalent to the corpse's Life).

Glancing at the three skills available this time, compared to the skills when he leveled up to Level 2 last time, these are all active skills.

Gu Xi took a look and quickly made a judgment in his mind.

Among the three skills, Bone Prison is the most special. It is used to trap enemies, but it will compete with Corpse Explosion for corpses.

Rotten Land is an auxiliary skill, but it is clearly targeted.

Only Bone Spike is the most suitable for the current situation.

After all, the previous battle made Gu Xi realize a situation that was unfavorable to him. He would encounter some battles without corpses. If he didn't have a means of attack, he really didn't know what to do in the subsequent battles.

When making the choice, Gu Xi immediately said, "Upgrade, choose Bone Spike!"

In the next moment, Gu Xi heard a ding in his ear.

Level has been raised to Level 3, the number of undead that can be contracted +1.
