Players Arrive as Reinforcements

Somewhere in the city, a large number of the Undead Army are fighting against a group of demon troops.

Among the Undead Army, Zuo Ya was looking through the letter that had just been delivered to him.

Zuo Ya didn't really care about the letter at first.

Today is a crucial day for them; they need to kill as many players still on the Leaderboard as possible tonight.

It can be said that most of the players in Bailian City are under Zuo Ya's command, all to prevent any enemy from escaping.

The arrival of this letter made Zuo Ya's eyes widen, and he immediately asked loudly, "How much longer will this fighting last?"

The necromancer, who was directing the battle from the front, didn't even turn his head. "At least half an hour. What's wrong? Another new discovery?"

"The Undead Breath just sent word that he has something that every Demon Warlock wants, and now all the living Demon Warlock are probably rushing there."

Zuo Ya waved the letter in his hand and said with a smile.

It's clear from his words that he doesn't really believe what Gu Xi meant.

"Didn't he say he had something to do these past two days and couldn't come out? How come he showed up again, and even caused such a big commotion?"

The necromancer was also somewhat surprised. He turned to look at Zuo Ya and stopped commanding his troops in battle, instead talking to Zuo Ya.

"I don't know either, but I'm not sure about Gu Xi. He seems to be the kind of person who's invisible at school. He got the top score, but he didn't show off. Instead, he kept his strength hidden."

If it weren't for Bailian Grand Ceremony, we would never have known that he had already mastered two of the Three Divine Skills.

He called us over this time, so there's probably something to it.

I'm just a little curious, with his current strength, wouldn't it be better for him to just devour all his enemies himself?

Why do you insist on bringing us along?

The necromancer laughed as he listened to Zuo Ya's question.

"You've been high and mighty for too long, you've never thought from the perspective of the lower-level players."

What happened to our Undead Breath before? Nothing.

He earned a title and the position of chief by virtue of his Three Divine Skills.

If he wants to advance further, he needs connections, and what could be more valuable than connections forged on a battlefield like the Bailian Grand Ceremony?

Zuo Ya nodded. "I understand what you mean, but he is, after all, the top student in our year. We should give him some face. I'll ask if anyone is nearby and have them go check on him."

As Zuo Ya spoke, he began writing a letter to relay the order.

As for himself, Zuo Ya was reluctant to give up the Cold Leaf City players he had just surrounded; he would deal with everything after killing them.

Meanwhile, near the Wudou Family's Tenshukaku, Gu Xi had already entered a battle state.

The Death Avatar lay atop the Tenshukaku, its ceiling shattered, staring down at the red crystal as tall as a person. Anyone who tried to approach would be met with a full-scale attack from the Death Avatar.

Gu Xi also had more troops around him.

This was a hastily assembled force that he had created using Summoning.

On such a battlefield, even though Gu Xi came alone, as long as he released a wave of Wave of Death and cast the Summoning again, more than two hundred Undead Army would appear around Gu Xi.

Because he was going to hold out here, Gu Xi specially adjusted the effect of the Summoning, summoning a batch of level 4 Zombie.

After doing this, Gu Xi has to do is wait.

He believed everyone had seen the red light, and the Demon Warlock of Cold Leaf City should know better than him what the red crystal was for. Unless they were already surrounded, they should be heading this way right now.

As for Zuo Ya, Gu Xi wasn't quite sure if he would believe her.

If no necromancer comes to help him, Gu Xi will have no choice but to send the red crystal into Aryadovi City and take it with him first.

Fortunately, Gu Xi didn't have to wait long before the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Gu Xi looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a necromancer riding a skeletal warhorse charging towards them.

Behind this necromancer followed a large number of Skeleton Soldier.

Upon seeing Gu Xi from afar, the necromancer immediately raised his own banner.

It was a blue battle flag with a Skeleton hand rising from the ground, holding a black Soul Crystal in its hand.

"Looking Down on Darkness Guild?"

Gu Xi knew that Looking Down on Darkness Guild.

This guild is different from other undead guilds. In addition to Undead Knowledge, this guild also requires members to prioritize learning Dark Knowledge. Finally, by combining Soul Link with the Curse Master, they can master an ability called Darkness Rebirth.

Once this ability is mastered, if Dark Magic is successfully cast, the caster can recover about 30% of the spell's power. If the spell fails or is resisted by the opponent, the caster can recover all of the spell's power.

That's not the key point. When the Darkness Rebirth skill level is relatively high, a lock-on skill can also be set.

When all mana is withdrawn, the locked spell will be automatically activated.

This spell can be used directly on enemies, ignoring their Magic Resistance.

This can be described as a very unscrupulous tactic.

I heard that the guild leader of the Looking Down on Darkness Guild used this tactic against the Black Dragon before.

Furthermore, I've heard that looking down on the darkness doesn't mean looking down on Dark Magic or the skill of Darkness Rebirth, but rather looking down on the darkness of the Black Dragon.

Because they frequently Dragon Slayer, the players in the Looking Down on Darkness Guild have a very high success rate in reaching level 10 after level 5. In addition, the rewards from raiding dragon nests are enormous, so they are all quite wealthy.

In school, when most students discuss their future plans, they always rank the Looking Down on Darkness Guild at the top of their list.

Now that he had met this player, Gu Xi couldn't help but sigh, "The players who look down on the guild are really rich."

To speed up their journey, they actually used up a magic scroll for a Forced March —that's pretty amazing!

Upon seeing Gu Xi, the player who rushed over shouted, "Hello, are you Gu Xi, the Undead Breath? I am Xia Yi from the Looking Down on Darkness Guild, and I'm here to fight the Demon Warlock."

"You've come at the right time, the enemy is almost here, come this way."

Gu Xi waved to Xia Yi.

Xia Yi quickly rode up to Gu Xi's side, and his men stopped and quickly stood behind Xia Yi.

Gu Xi noticed that although Xia Yi's men were mostly Skeleton Soldier, their armor and weapons were not the rusty kind used by Skeleton Soldier, but exquisite weapons and equipment made of fine iron, and their quality was obviously white-grade.

They're practically enchanted.

If it weren't for the fact that Skeleton Soldier are cannon fodder, Gu Xi would have believed they had equipped Skeleton Soldier with green-quality weapons and equipment.

At this moment, Xia Yi also saw the huge red crystal being stared at by the Death Avatar.

His eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Isn't this... you know?!"
