Orange Ring Shows Its Might (Bonus Chapter 6 for Alliance Leader A Certain Yan Who Came to Buy Soy Sauce)
As Robbie killed the King, the carnage in the hall gradually subsided.
Gu Xi took two steps forward and slammed his right hand, which was holding the Cold Wind Staff, heavily onto the ground.
The inconspicuous ring on Gu Xi's right index finger flickered.
Within a 15-kilometer radius of Gu Xi, all living creatures, even the rats underground outside the Princess's Forest, felt that life was too tiring and they might as well be dead.
So these lives began to self-harm.
Those with lower vitality simply died.
As for the castle in front of us, it is the place that has been most severely affected.
In that instant, the balance between the Death Power within the castle was shattered.
All the creatures, half-dead and half-alive, stabbed themselves.
Because their very existence is designed to rip off players.
Their life expectancy is not high at all.
They will die as soon as the players make a move.
Beings killed by players are not considered neutral undead, and even the abilities of the Death Lord are useless to them.
Players must be very careful when interacting with these creatures; a single mistake could sever all clues.
This is how players can demonstrate their understanding and application of the Death Lord's abilities.
Only with skillful operation can you easily complete the task and reach the Thorns Golden Crown.
However, no one expected that Gu Xi, a newbie who was not even level 5, would have a piece of Orange Equipment that could affect one's soul.
This Orange Equipment item can affect a very wide area, including the power of the mind.
Mind Kill!
In this way, all the beings in the castle who were half-dead automatically gave up their lives.
Many of them never saw Gu Xi and were also influenced by his spirit to commit suicide. At the moment of their death, the power of death immediately affected them.
Now that they've become neutral undead, things are different.
Gu Xi, who possesses the abilities of the Death Lord, is least afraid of neutral undead.
Holding the Cold Wind Staff, Gu Xi waved to Robbie.
Robbie looked completely bewildered, wondering what Gu Xi was up to.
"Bring that guy's head over here."
Gu Xi was also speechless at Robbie.
If it were Luna and the others, they would get things done with just a Gu Xi.
Unlike Robbie, who had to pass on the task before he could finish.
Robbie then realized what was happening and quickly presented the King's head to Gu Xi.
At this point, the King was completely reduced to Skeleton. The only things that could prove he was originally a King were a few strands of hair still clinging to his bones and the crown on his head.
Reaching out to take the King's head, Gu Xi held it high, grasping the last wisp of hair.
"Listen up, all of you! I am now the new master of the castle. The previous King has been defeated by me. The castle is now open to me. I now command everyone to come out. I can guarantee your safety."
Gu Xi's voice wasn't loud, but it could always be heard nearby.
At this moment, the role of the Death Lord of Gu Xi finally came into play, and a large number of undead dressed as servants emerged from the vicinity.
They were the servants of this castle.
His main responsibility was to handle all the work inside and outside the castle.
A castle like this would require about three to four hundred servants.
Of course, not many people came out this time; there were only about two hundred people in total.
Gu Xi immediately understood the situation.
Some of the servants had probably been killed in the battle, while others, unwilling to join Gu Xi's forces, chose to retreat to the side and hide themselves.
Gu Xi showed no dissatisfaction with their choice. He looked at the servants, glanced at them, and then spoke loudly.
"Very good, do you have a butler here?"
The undead servants exchanged glances before finally one of them, a Skeleton covered in Spider Silk, stepped forward.
The Skeleton looked as if it had just been dug out of the ground, with all sorts of filth clinging to its bones.
However, judging from the clothes he was wearing, he should be a second steward.
"Are you the butler?"
"Head Male Servant," the undead said, bowing his head, "There are no stewards in this castle, only the Minister of Internal Affairs."
As the Head Male Servant spoke, he glanced at the corpses piled up nearby.
Gu Xi quickly realized that the battle had wiped out all the middle and upper echelons of the castle.
Those who can now become undead are all these rookie servants; they have no status and don't know much.
As for the soldiers, Gu Xi glanced at the corpses on the ground again; the soldiers in the castle had probably died here as well.
However, Gu Xi is not the kind of person who has no options.
He pointed towards the Main City Gate.
A group of Ghost dressed White Impermanence floated out of the City Gate.
"Now, take them with you and open all the rooms inside the castle. You should be able to do that, right?"
Upon hearing Gu Xi's order, the Head Male Servant immediately replied, "Yes, I know where the key is. I'll take you there right now."
The Head Male Servant thought that the White Impermanence floated out was a separate individual.
However, the Ghost Squad dressed as the White Impermanence were used to this kind of thing, so they didn't explain and quickly followed.
They knew exactly what Gu Xi needed, and as soon as the door to the first room was opened, several White Impermanence rushed in and carried the contents to the main hall.
After several attempts to dig deep into the ground, the White Impermanence's actions of demolishing homes are now noticeably faster.
At the same time, they expanded the scope of their moving activities considerably, even packing up and taking the cinders from the castle fireplace and delivering them to the hall.
In the hall, a chubby, green-skinned undead was sitting there.
This is a master that Gu Xi recruited from the Mysterious Academy.
He was originally a logistics staff member at the Mysterious Academy, mainly responsible for purchasing some supplies for the Mysterious Academy.
In his eyes, he knew exactly what was valuable and what was worthless.
With him around, Gu Xi no longer needed to personally inspect the items that the Ghost Squad had brought back.
At this moment, Gu Xi led his men towards the interior of the castle.
When these male servants appeared, Gu Xi already knew that those half-dead people in the castle had now become neutral undead.
The biggest problem blocking Gu Xi's path has been solved, and Gu Xi is now quite safe in the castle.
At this point, Gu Xi only needs to find the Thorns Golden Crown to advance his rank.
I'm sure everything in this castle will be moved out by then.
As he walked into the castle, Gu Xi glanced at the torch stuck in the castle wall.
This torch is bronze, it looks nice, I'll take it with me later.
