Gu Xi reached out and grabbed a White Bone Locust. He then turned it over and over, and suddenly Gu Xi understood the reason behind it.

These White Bone Locust did not originate from Abandoned Farmland.

These are creatures that were transformed into red-haired locusts by evil influences and then died in battle. Since they no longer belong to Gu Xi's troops, they are considered part of the enemy. After their deaths, they will be affected by Gu Xi's Dual Death talent and appear in the Aryadovi City.

Locusts are a special type of corpse. They are not very big, so they can't be transformed into Skeleton or anything like that. In the end, they will still become White Bone Locust.

It can be said that as long as the red-haired locusts keep dying, the number of White Bone Locust under Gu Xi's command will not decrease.

Gu Xi's judgment was not based on the fact that these locusts left behind any different information during the transformation.

It was because he saw the marks on these locusts, marks transformed by the Death Edict, telling Chen Gu how these spirits came to be.

Having understood this, Gu Xi no longer cared about the number of White Bone Locust, since the red-haired locusts would be killed and replaced by new White Bone Locust.

Transforming into Evil Bone Locust allows it to devour everything; no matter how it mutates, Gu Xi will always benefit.

So Gu Xi decisively released all the White Bone Locust, letting them attack the food again and again. Gu Xi then took this opportunity to lead his troops around the food that had not yet been devoured and headed to the rear.

After walking nearly Domi, Gu Xi discovered their first group of enemies since entering the Evil God Temple, behind these mountains of food.

These enemies were clearly overfed humans, their bodies round and spherical, covered in red fur.

When Gu Xi led his troops into the area, they all turned to look at Gu Xi.

However, even though they had noticed Gu Xi's arrival, they did not stop what they were doing and continued to wolf down all kinds of candy.

It seemed as if stopping would lead to some terrifying event.

Faced with this situation, Gu Xi couldn't help but sigh.

Why do I always encounter these weird enemies? Can't I have some decent opponents?

As Gu Xi spoke, he directed the troops to prepare to advance.

At first, the ones charging forward were Skeleton Soldier. Gu Xi needed to test them out and see how powerful these strange humanoid creatures were.

As soon as Gu Xi's men began their charge, all the Red Hair Human Ball started rolling. As they rolled, their red fur danced wildly, making them look like red hedgehogs being thrown out from a distance.

They rolled quite fast, and in just a turn of their heads, they crashed into the Skeleton Soldier.

As soon as they crashed into the Skeleton Soldier, the Skeleton Soldier's weapons slashed at these Red Hair Human Ball.

However, the rolling speed of these Red Hair Human Ball was clearly close to that of a knight's charge, and the Skeleton Soldier was knocked away immediately, only having time to slash once.

Their sword strikes only managed to cut off some of the opponent's red hair; they didn't actually hurt anyone.

Instead, the Skeleton that was knocked away was quickly pinned down by these Red Hair Human Ball and smashed into bone fragments on the ground, becoming utterly dead.

Seeing this scene before him, Gu Xi did not hesitate at all and decisively ordered, "Zombie troops, advance and take up defense. Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage, prepare."

The Doom Bone are preparing to strike.

Under Gu Xi's command, the Zombie army quickly blocked the path of the Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage.

They were mainly used to protect ranged units. As for the safety of Gu Xi, there was no need to worry at all. Several Maze Devourer were standing in front of Gu Xi, and behind him stood a Giant Skeleton and a Nether Soul Dragon.

This is all the powerful force that Gu Xi can show on the surface; almost no one could launch a sneak attack on Gu Xi at this time.

Meanwhile, the Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage also sprang into action.

Their first move was to use the most convenient Skeleton Archer, whose first wave of attacks immediately embedded arrows into the bodies of these Red Hair Human Ball.

To Gu Xi's surprise, these Red Hair Human Ball didn't care about the arrow attacks at all. Even if the arrows stuck in their bodies, it was useless. They continued to roll on the ground and charged towards Gu Xi's battle formation.

This was the first time Gu Xi had dealt with these Red Hair Human Ball.

He used the technique of the Undead Tendrils.

The level 3 Undead Tendrils didn't increase in power much, but its range of influence expanded considerably.

Gu Xi simply released a strand of Undead Tendrils, which formed an obstacle of tentacles and arms five meters wide and thirty-five meters long.

Other soldiers might try to go around or jump over it.

But these Red Hair Human Ball are different. Once they start rolling, they make a straight-line impact, and as they roll, they end up right in the path of the Undead Tendrils.

So when the first group of Red Hair Human Ball tried to roll over the Undead Tendrils, their red hair was grabbed by tentacles and arms, Life-Life stopping them.

But the Red Hair Human Ball behind them did not stop. One by one, the Red Hair Human Ball collided with each other, like billiard balls, colliding back and forth, even making thumping sounds.

Taking this opportunity, all the Skeleton Mage attacked simultaneously, using their most powerful spells.

In addition to mastering their respective basic spells, the current batch of Skeleton Mage have also learned Mana Drain and Slow Spell.

With the Undead Tendrils present, they naturally wouldn't use the Slow Spell. They immediately unleashed their most powerful offensive spells: Fireball, Ice Arrow Art, Poison Gas Bomb, and some even fired Lightning Arrow.

Gu Xi was also observing from there. He noticed that these hairy creatures were not greatly affected by the flames and had a decent resistance to poison gas.

However, they are not very resistant to spells like ice. Despite their large size and hairy bodies, they can be frozen solid by a gust of cold wind.

Upon discovering this situation, Gu Xi conjured a White Bone Storm. Gu Xi was prepared to unleash White Bone Storm whenever the Skeleton Mage couldn't withstand the enemy's attacks.

Just then, several Skeleton Mages were casting Lightning Arrow simultaneously released their Lightning Arrow. Their Lightning Arrow collided and formed a Chain Lightning, which struck one of the Red Hair Human Ball.

This attack actually blew the Red Hair Human Ball apart.

A type of sewage the color of chocolate sprayed all over the ground, and at the same time, the remaining Red Hair Human Ball all went crazy.
