Players Trapped on the Staircase

Without saying anything else, I'll add an extra chapter first, hoping to reach 2000 average subscriptions. Please support me!

After tossing something that looked like a hardcover diary to Gu Xi, the corpse closed its eyes.

The next instant, Gu Xi felt as if something had left, and the stairs in front of him no longer smelled as bad as before.

Looking down at the hardcover diary she had just received, Gu Xi noticed that no notification had popped up.

It seems this is not equipment or props, but a genuine personal diary.

This piqued Gu Xi's curiosity about the situation. Normal people don't keep diaries anymore, so how could a corpse like this keep one? Opening the diary, Gu Xi's eyes were immediately drawn to the blood flowing from the pages.

Under the blood, Gu Xi finally saw the contents of the diary in front of him.

This diary records some information about a player with the title "Blood Flame Ghost Hand".

This player's name is Wu Wenxing, and he comes from Bianfeng City. This city is also dominated by necromancers, but it does not produce Death Knight. The necromancers here mainly use blood magic.

Because he was connected to the undead, but outside their range, Wu Wenxing unintentionally obtained one of the Three Divine Skills, Death Lord, when he reached level 3.

He later mastered the Death Avatar at level 5 and the Death City at level 7. When he was preparing to reach level 10, he heard about the situation here and came here.

However, he was not as Gu Xi as Zong Heze while exploring the castle.

Finally, he was nailed to the tower stairs by Zong Heze using a secret method, and was tortured by Zong Heze every day, just to use his flesh and blood to summon some fresh undead.

The skeletons on the stairs were all fresh undead summoned with his flesh and blood, and had been Zong Heze's food for a long time.

Before he died, he had discussed with Zong Heze that he could open up the Death City and provide various kinds of food.

However, Zong Heze did not believe him and used methods to seal all his power. Before Zong Heze died, he could never leave this place, not even in death.

On this staircase, there are seven other necromancers who have had the same experience as him.

They were the food source for Zong Heze to survive in the castle, and also the reason why Zong Heze did not go crazy despite being trapped here alone.

In the diary entry, Wu Wenxing explained that after Zong Heze's death, the restrictions on them disappeared, and he was free to leave at any time.

This is precisely why Gu Xi could hear the corpse talking as soon as he entered.

At the same time, to express his gratitude, he left Gu Xi with what he could currently offer.

At the back of his diary, he recorded some of his techniques for using Death Lord and Death Avatar, especially Death Lord, which he wrote in great detail. It even included tips on how to use Death Lord in conjunction with Leadership, Financial Management, Diplomacy, or Recruitment.

There are also skill combinations and details, many of which require people to gradually research and discover; they cannot be used simply by mastering the techniques.

As for the Death City, it is a core secret among the Three Divine Skills, so he didn't write much about it here.

Gu Xi also noticed these details.

However, what he was more concerned about was not this, but the idea of combining these techniques with Diplomacy.

This diary records that as long as the Death Lord is used in conjunction with Diplomacy, and there is a corresponding Training Camp in the Death City, normal neutral units can be transformed into corresponding undead units and brought under one's command.

However, there are certain limitations to this conversion process.

After all, not everyone wants to be an undead.

Only soldiers with extreme ambitions would choose to become undead and join the army.

The optimal transformations here are Knight to Blood Drain Knight, Witch to Blood Drain Princess, and Mage to Lich or Lich.

Furthermore, Elf are also relatively easy to transform into undead, but they tend to become more like Ghost.

This situation caught Gu Xi's eye; if that were the case, it would be a quick way to deploy troops.

Most importantly, this expands the scope of the Death Lord's skill, allowing other normal neutral units to be directly transferred into the team.

Gu Xi even thought a little deeper, after all, Gu Xi's situation was different from Wu Wenxing's.

Gu Xi learned the Death Edict, and it was through this that he learned the Death Lord skill.

Grand Princess Anna likely shares a similar tradition.

This diary opened up a new idea for Gu Xi.

Putting the diary away, Gu Xi said something to the corpse.

Thank you.

The corpse, with only half a face remaining, smirked and fell off the wall, landing heavily in front of Gu Xi.

Gu Xi looked back and thought about it, and realized that now was not a good time to summon the soul.

It wasn't that Gu Xi was worried about failing to summon the soul.

His success rate in summoning spirits is now over 100%, and he can succeed in summoning spirits anytime he wants.

He just didn't want to waste such a fine corpse.

So he turned around and said to Luna, who was following behind him, "You handle this. Take this body back."

Then Gu Xi began to ascend.

As Gu Xi walked up the stairs, she realized that Zong Heze had become somewhat Mind-Madness after being trapped in the castle for so many years.

The players who came over hadn't provoked him, yet they were killed one by one and imprisoned here, serving as materials to attract fresh undead.

Further up, there was a player whose skin had been peeled off in half and turned into a mural.

When Gu Xi approached, the player even smiled at Gu Xi.

"You're finally up here. If you hadn't come, I would have left early. This really made me feel bad."

After I leave, could you please burn this body for me? I don't want people to use or look at my corpse.

"After all, it's been on display for so long, you know what I mean."

"Can."

Gu Xi glanced at the players who were arranged in a strange way and nailed to the wall, and Gu Xi understood what they were thinking.

"Haha, thank you so much. I can't let you come for nothing. I've been idle all these years, so I made something out of a corpse. I originally planned to use it when I couldn't take it anymore and had to fight back."

But now that you're here, I'm afraid I won't need this anymore. You can take it; it's in the Corpse Pile of corpses under the candles across the street.

Thank you, brother. I will repay you when we meet on the battlefield.

After saying this, the player nodded to Gu Xi, closed his eyes, and left the corpse, just like Wu Wenxing had done before.

After the player left, Gu Xi turned to him and said, "Luna, take care of this."

After saying this, Gu Xi walked to the corpses piled up under the candles and pushed them down forcefully.

A black heart was exposed beneath the pile of corpses.

The moment Gu Xi picked up the heart, it started beating.
