Night fell, and in front of Maple Leaf Park, the massive Steel City Gate slowly appeared.

After waking up, Gu Xi made some arrangements and then left Aryadovi City, arriving at Maple Leaf Park.

There are still more than three days left before leaving this world, and Gu Xi's plan requires many methods to be prepared in advance.

Now that Gu Xi has some free time, he has no intention of doing nothing.

Having finally arrived in this world, it would be a disservice to this grand ceremony if we didn't convert some Undead Army and seize some land deeds and Building Blueprint.

As darkness fell, he immediately set his sights on his initial target: Maple Leaf Park.

As soon as Gu Xi opened the Steel City Gate, chaos erupted in Maple Leaf Park.

The combination of the Steel City Gate and the Earthbound Weird Dragon put a lot of pressure on Maple Leaf Park.

Inside Maple Leaf Park, discussions are underway about how to handle the current situation.

Not all demons are stubbornly determined to attack everything. Some demons, when they find themselves unable to defeat their opponents, will choose to surrender or pay a toll.

However, Gu Xi had never encountered such a thing before.

Or perhaps necromancers rarely encounter such situations.

Unlike humans, they lack leadership and Diplomacy, and few are willing to communicate with the dead.

Even now, some living people stubbornly believe that the dead cannot be communicated with.

The Maple Leaf Park in front of us is not the only one that has stubbornly persisted in this trend.

They attract a large number of people to commit suicide every year, which is actually a manifestation of being close to death.

It is precisely for this reason that they can clearly feel the pressure brought by the Steel City Gate and the Earthbound Weird Dragon.

So when Gu Xi's troops emerged from the Steel City Gate, a demon also walked out of Maple Leaf Park, waving a white flag as if he wanted to negotiate with Gu Xi.

This was the first time Gu Xi had encountered such a situation.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally stood in front of the Evil Coffin and came to the front of the line.

At this moment, Gu Xi gripped the iron chain on the Evil Coffin tightly with his Demon Right Hand. No matter how the Evil Coffin swung, he could stand steadily on it. Coupled with his thin body and white hair, he looked like a dried corpse that had just crawled out of the coffin.

The demon's eyes changed when it flew out of the group.

He raised the white flag in his hand even higher and said loudly, "I am Hei Tian of the Maple Leaf Family. May I ask who is on the other side?"

"Undead Breath, you may call me that."

Gu Xi had no intention of revealing his name.

In his mind, he shouldn't communicate with these people; he should just call them directly.

"Please wait a moment. We have no intention of being your enemy. Name your price. How can you let us go?"

Seeing that Gu Xi showed no sign of stopping, Hei Tian spoke quickly.

"You are also a spirit of the dead. Please give us the dead a way out. We are not having a good time here."

Hearing this, Gu Xi looked Hei Tian up and down. He noticed that although Hei Tian's skin looked relatively normal, there were some faint signs of rigor mortis on his face.

This suggests that he is a spirit, but his actions and reactions are like those of a living person.

This situation sparked an idea in Gu Xi's mind.

There are some good things in the Maple Leaf Park in front of us.

Seeing the gleam in his eyes, Hei Tian inwardly Secret Passage something was wrong.

He has probably attracted Gu Xi's attention.

At this moment, Hei Tian disregarded everything else and shouted, "Three thousand, no, five thousand corpses! We are willing to offer five thousand corpses. Please, sir, spare our Maple Leaf Family!"

Gu Xi then laughed.

"Maple Leaf Park has been captured. It's all mine now. Strike!"

Before Gu Xi could finish speaking, a Long Arrow pierced Hei Tian's forehead, pinning him to the ground.

Then, Gu Xi's Undead Army, led by their Undead Headman, began to advance.

As Gu Xi advanced, Maple Leaf Park also changed. A large number of trees in the park began to converge in one direction, forming a wall made of trees.

Above the city wall stood more than ten defensive towers, on which hung some hanged corpses.

When the trees turned into city walls, all the corpses turned face to face with Gu Xi.

Gu Xi noticed something strange: those with longer hair would cover their faces with it, while those without hair would try to cover their faces with scarves or hats.

It's as if their suicide is a shameful thing.

When the city walls were erected, a large number of demons appeared on them.

Most of these demons are zombies or undead, and there are even some Yellow Springs Ghost Soldier from the underworld wielding tridents, or some mummies even thinner than Gu Xi.

They walked step by step up the city wall, stood in their designated positions, and picked up the various weapons on the wall.

These weapons were all made of maple branches, with red leaves stained with blood.

However, what surprised Gu Xi was not this, but rather that behind these demons and monsters, there was a group of semi-transparent youths, carrying scythes of various colors and exuding an aura of death.

Do you know what you've missed?

As the city wall rose, a young man carrying a large scythe flew up.

Gu Xi could sense that the man's strength was only around level 7, but Gu Xi could clearly feel that he was being suppressed.

What are you?

"I am nothing, I spit on you! We are the guides to the Yellow Springs, the Death God Student of Sanshou Middle School, the Maple Leaf Family Third Generation. You have invaded our Maple Leaf Family's territory. I will drag your soul out of your body and burn it in the flames of the Yellow Springs for a hundred years."

Grim Reaper?

Students? Gu Xi was speechless. He had originally thought that a school for necromancers was already quite unusual.

There's also Grim Reaper Academy here.

"Are these all the useless people with sickles that we've taught?" Gu Xi, looking utterly bewildered.

However, Gu Xi could also see that these so-called corpses of the Grim Reaper were definitely beyond the level of normal demons.

If we can take them down, we won't have to worry about the corpse supply of Gu Xi's high-level troops.

With this thought in mind Gu Xi spat out a disdainful "Pah!"

"Grim Reaper? I call you Grim Reaper, do you dare answer?"

As he spoke, Gu Xi waved his hand, and forty-one red dragons flew out from behind and sprayed towards the city wall made of maple trees.

In fact, Gu Xi didn't know that these Grim Reaper were not the kind of Grim Reaper he thought they were. They were people from the Netherworld who belonged to the Yellow Springs in this world, and they were a profession with a complete education system and public management institutions.

They are responsible for leading the souls of the dead to the end of the Yellow Springs, to the giant red wheel in the sky deep within the Netherworld.

They are called Grim Reaper because they are responsible for leading souls to their deaths.

Without this identity, they would at most be beings living in the Netherworld, their status equivalent to minor anomalies within the Weird Mirror Space.
