"Let's go down and take a look."

Although he had decided to draw the sword, Gu Xi did not rush over. He pointed at the pool, and the Death Avatar pounced into it.

As Three Divine Skills of Death, Death Avatar is never afraid of any kind of pollution or other influences.

Given the uncertainty of the pool, it was natural for the Death Avatar to go down and investigate first.

After jumping into the water, a large amount of something resembling patina quickly appeared on the surface of the Death Avatar's body.

However, the Death Avatar did not show much resistance, which shows that this kind of copper rust has a different effect on him.

After circling underwater and finding no enemies, the Death Avatar remained submerged in the water.

Gu Xi also knew that this was the Death Avatar absorbing external power.

Think about it, because the Death Avatar was following you, and because you were stuck at level 12, the Death Avatar couldn't level up either.

He felt somewhat guilty.

Now that the Death Avatar has the opportunity to strengthen itself, Gu Xi naturally won't go over to disturb it.

He walked around the pool to the other side and reached out to pull out the Longsword.

The moment Gu Xi made contact with the Longsword, he felt a Sword Qi cut into his hand.

Gu Xi hurriedly pulled his hand back, but he was too slow. His right hand was cut open on the spot, and his palm was severed off.

"Damn it!"

Gu Xi immediately pressed his wrist, while the Demon Right Hand grabbed the severed hand and quickly reattached it to Gu Xi.

Without thinking twice, Gu Xi immediately ran behind the Evil Coffin, kicked hard with his foot, and the Medical Tent that had been dragged behind the Evil Coffin was erected. Gu Xi then sat inside, holding his severed hand.

Medical Tent were originally intended for treating Gu Xi's soldiers.

Whether they are living or dead, their purpose is the same.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xi had been carrying Medical Tent for so long, and the first person he treated was himself.

With the help of the Medical Tent, Gu Xi's severed hand was reattached. Although it is not very flexible now, it will regain its original flexibility in a day or two.

After the hand was successfully reattached, Gu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was still somewhat afraid of losing his hand. Although the Demon Right Hand could help with some things, it was never as useful as his own hand.

Now that his hand was in place, Gu Xi remembered the information that popped up when he touched the Longsword.

[You have come into contact with the Darnathres Sword. You are now under attack from the Darnathres Sword, and your health has decreased by 60!]

[Darnathres Sword (Gray): Professor Darnathres of the Academy came into contact with the Sword of Leadership when he was a student and was recognized by the Sword of Leadership. In the following days, he practiced swordsmanship diligently and successfully forged Longsword that was a high-quality replica of the Sword of Leadership.

In a conflict, he used this sword to kill his greatest enemy, and his head became that enemy's collectible.

Gu Xi narrowed his eyes slightly as he read the detailed description of the Darnathres Sword.

He was recalling the battle against the Death Intent Giant Armor.

He didn't seem to see any wounds on the Death Intent Giant Armor.

With a puzzled look on his face, Gu Xi walked out of the Medical Tent.

By this time, the Death Avatar had absorbed almost all of the dark green substance in the pool.

The bones, originally brass-colored, were now covered in greenish-blue rust.

Meanwhile, a layer of dark green crystals grew on the spine of the Death Avatar.

When the Death Avatar took flight, its movements became somewhat slow, but it was clear that the Death Avatar had been enhanced this time.

He had grown noticeably by about a meter in height, and his bones had become noticeably thicker.

As Gu Xi flew up from the pool, he noticed that the originally dark green water had become clear and transparent, and standing on the edge of the pool, he could even see that it was filled with White Bone Shards.

Normally, Gu Xi would definitely put these bones back first. Even if they couldn't be summoned to become the Undead Army, they could still be integrated into the Aryadovi City and become the souls of the city.

But Gu Xi is not paying attention to these things now.

He discovered that the Darnathres Sword that had just wounded him was stuck in the pool wall, beneath which lay a petrified corpse.

The body had been submerged in the pool for so long that its face was no longer recognizable.

The only certainty is that the corpse belonged to a male mage, and even in death, he still clutched his two weapons tightly in his hands.

A short staff, slightly longer than a chopstick, and a bell shaped like a human head.

Now, these two items have probably become one with the corpse.

At this moment, Gu Xi understood why the Darnathres Sword had reacted so strongly.

This sword seems to have developed its own sentience, and has been suppressing this corpse all along.

The Death Intent Giant Armor that appeared earlier may have been a subordinate controlled by this corpse.

Just like the Contract Undead under Gu Xi's command.

Even after his master died in battle, he continued to protect this place.

After discovering the root cause of the problem, Gu Xi immediately came up with a solution.

If we can't pull out the Darnathres Sword, then we'll take the sword and everything nearby back with us.

He wasn't attacked by the Sword Qi when he was just near the Darnathres Sword, which shows that the sword doesn't attack randomly; it only attacks when someone tries to draw it.

In other words, the Darnathres Sword is conscious, but not very conscious.

If you can't take the sword, then take this petrified corpse with you.

Gu Xi quickly opened the Steel City Gate and gave orders to those City Gate.

"A squad of Zombie is coming."

At Gu Xi's command, a Zombie Head led a squad of Zombie out.

None of the Undead Headman have their own names.

However, Anna thoughtfully made some records for them, noting their characteristics, and then... labeled them with numbers.

This is even simpler than Gu Xi's original Battle Squad 1. It starts directly from 001 and is just going to be written like that for now.

If someone dies in battle, their number won't be incremented. If a new Undead Headman is added later, a new number will be added.

Basically, it's just an Undead Headman with a number.

The Zombie Head in front of them, number 063, was carrying a large axe, but after coming out, he looked at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi didn't stand on ceremony and dragged the troops directly to the spot where the Longsword was stuck. He then began drawing lines about five meters away from the Darnathres Sword.

"All of you come here. See this? Start digging from here and carry this thing back to Aryadovi City."
