However, the strange demons overestimated their own strength and fighting ability.

The wooden clubs they hurled didn't break the Skeleton Soldier's shields; instead, the skeletons defended against them.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Skeleton Soldier stabbed the demon with their swords, and finally one demon was wounded by multiple Skeleton Soldier and collapsed to the ground.

[Your Skeleton Soldier (level 4, Summoned Creature) kills a level 2 Wild Goblin. You gain 1 experience point (1 point is reserved for overflow), your Battle Squad gains 1 experience point, and your Summoned Creature gains 6 experience points.]

Wild Goblin? Looking at the pop-up message, Gu Xi learned the name of this strange demon.

They also learned that this thing did not belong to Cold Leaf City.

It seems that players did not appear on the night battlefield immediately.

"Kill them all!"

Knowing the enemy's situation, Gu Xi no longer held back and gave orders to his men.

Fifty-seven Skeleton Soldier were more than enough to deal with fourteen Wild Goblin. The Ghost didn't attack again, but instead took the opportunity to drift away.

It's clear they're surveying their surroundings.

Originally, this was Gargoyle mission, but the Gargoyle were wiped out when fighting the crows last time, and the new Gargoyle haven't spawned yet this week. Gu Xi doesn't have Flying Troops that can High-Speed Movement, so the Ghost have become something Gu Xi can use to scout ahead.

As the Ghost flew away, Gu Xi raised the Cold Wind Staff in his hand.

"Summoning!"

As a Summoning was cast, the Wild Goblin that had just been killed stirred and eventually transformed into a Zombie carrying a wooden stick, which rose from the ground.

The new Zombie skin is dark red, and it is noticeably larger than a normal Zombie.

[You have successfully used the Summoning and obtained a level 2 Wooden Club Zombie and 1 Summoning Experience point.]

[Wooden Club Zombie (Level 2, Summoned Creature): Experience (0/300), Attack 3, Defense 4, Health 15, Skill: Stun.]

Looking at the pop-up message, Gu Xi rolled his eyes. "Useless trash!"

Although he didn't particularly like the attributes and information of this Wooden Club Zombie, Gu Xi still had to perform a summoning ritual when the time came.

After all, Gu Xi planned to replenish his troops this time. He relied entirely on his subordinates to fight along the way, and he was only responsible for summoning souls.

After Gu Xi summoned a Wooden Club Zombie, the Wooden Club Zombie immediately joined the attack on its original companion.

This immediately dampened the morale of the Wild Goblin, and before long, the fourteen Wild Goblin had turned into nine new Wooden Club Zombie.

Seeing that the Ghost had not returned, Gu Xi did not wait for them. He pushed the Main City Gate forward, taking back the Wooden Club Zombie and Skeleton Soldier.

At the same time, Gu Xi also picked up an inconspicuous piece of equipment, a necklace that looked like a tooth.

[You have obtained the treasure, the Goblin's Fang. However, since you have exited the Leaderboard, you will not receive any points.]

[The Goblin's Fang: After defeating a demon, you can remove its fangs. During the day, you can command the fangs to attack nearby mortals or other supernatural beings.]

[Note: Please do not draw your fangs and issue commands in a crowd, as this will be noticed.]

Gu Xi glanced at the West One District and knew it was a treasure that could only be used in this world.

If he were still on the Leaderboard, this item would add a point or two. Now that he's off the Leaderboard, it doesn't matter whether it adds points or not. The advantage of this item is that it can be used secretly during the day.

After putting away the [Goblin's Fang], Gu Xi finally remembered the Leaderboard list.

He glanced at the Leaderboard and, just as he had expected, as the night battles began, most of the players in Bailian City released their Undead Army and dropped off the Leaderboard.

There are very few Bailian City players still on the Leaderboard.

Among these players, Gu Xi recognized a relatively familiar name.

[You Song Sheng of Bailian City, with 3 points, ranks 33rd].

It feels so good that this guy is still alive.

Gu Xi smiled and then turned his attention to the players in other cities.

These players have now realized that something is wrong.

If it turns out that only one or two Bailian City players have dropped off the Leaderboard, people might assume that these players were unable to win for various reasons and had to resort to their undead or other survival methods.

Now that a large number of players from Bailian City have left, only players from Autumn Wind City and Cold Leaf City remain on the Leaderboard. Anyone with a brain can immediately tell that something is wrong.

These players made what they believed to be the right choice immediately.

Hide it.

This is what the players of Autumn Wind City think.

Players in Autumn Wind City are at their least advantageous position at night; they are not strong enough and do not have sufficient troops like the players in the other two cities.

They can only use their own Innate Weirdness and some strange methods.

So their first choice was to hide and see what was going on.

However, everyone knew they couldn't hide for long.

This isn't directed at them in any way; to the players of Autumn Wind City, this world is like a giant granary.

The city was filled with bizarre creatures they had never dared to imagine before.

For the players of Autumn Wind City, who make a living by capturing and controlling the bizarre, this world is a huge treasure.

The key to unlocking the mystery lies in the battles and explorations every night. If they cannot find a way to kill or control the corresponding eerie creatures every night, they can only watch those creatures wander around in front of them.

For the first day or two, they might be able to keep a low profile due to the frenzy of the necromancer players in Bailian City, hiding themselves and only going out to act during the day. But as time goes on, they might not be able to sit still.

On the one hand, the eerie creatures roamed right in front of them during the day, and they had no way to capture or kill them, which made them resentful.

On the other hand, they will find that the necromancer's combat power will continue to increase with each battle.

If this drags on any longer, they'll only be killed.

They will only appear on the battlefield at night at that time, but by then, they will likely be out of the picture.

As for the players in Cold Leaf City, they are different from those in Autumn Wind City. They are also players who prefer large-scale battles. Going to the battlefield head-on is not a problem for them, and they are willing to participate in the battle.

So for the past two nights, the players I've been attacking are from Cold Leaf City.

For Gu Xi, it doesn't really matter who he fights. Even if the players from these two cities don't show up tonight, the necromancer battle won't decrease in the slightest.

Because all necromancers understand that the first two days after entering the game are the best time to go on a killing spree and summon necromancers to replenish their ranks.

This world is a granary for the players of Autumn Wind City, and a huge treasure trove for the necromancers as well.

Time should not be wasted.
