The Ghost Squad's White Impermanence members were conducting a spreading search in all directions, but the Gargoyle seemed to know where the enemy was and pounced directly in that direction.

The two different approaches to investigation quickly led to the discovery of something different.

Looking at the fist-sized rock in front of him, Gu Xi was speechless.

"You mean, this stone-like thing is the enemy that attacked me before? How is that possible? As a necromancer, I can still distinguish between living and non-living things."

It's obvious at a glance that it's just an ordinary stone; how could it possibly be the one that attacked me earlier?

However, the Gargoyle who brought this thing over were quite certain, and Gu Xi also took the stone in his hand and began to study it.

As Gu Xi tapped on it, Gu Xi discovered that the fist-sized stone in front of him was actually man-made.

This stone looks like it was made of cement. If you smash the stone, you will find a gem the size of a thumb and a steel bar about the length of an index finger inside.

If only one piece is like this, it probably doesn't prove anything.

But if every piece is like this, then the situation is different.

Gu Xi had no choice but to believe the Gargoyle's judgment; these inconspicuous stones were the enemy they had encountered this time.

Unfortunately, this enemy was a bit off; it had no life and no ability to move. This was something that was beyond Gu Xi's common sense.

Gu Xi thought for a moment and then asked, "How did you discover that this thing is our enemy?"

The Gargoyle flew swiftly, constantly gesturing towards Gu Xi.

Gu Xi had specifically studied the language of Gargoyle, and as he watched the Gargoyle's movements, Gu Xi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You mean you just glanced at the sky and realized something was wrong?"

The Gargoyle nodded quickly; they didn't know how it happened, but they had indeed found the stones.

Gu Xi picked up the stones again and smashed them open one by one. Most of the stones were like this inside.

A gemstone and a steel bar are encased in cement.

However, after smashing a few more pieces, Gu Xi still noticed some differences.

Gemstones are not perfect; they all have some cracks or flaws.

At first, Gu Xi thought that he had used too much force and smashed the gems.

It now appears that this is not the case.

Rather, the problem lies with the gemstones themselves.

These gems were probably not of very good quality to begin with.

That's why it was installed inside the stone, but I don't quite understand why a steel Gu Xi was added.

After throwing down the stone in his hand, Gu Xi turned to ask the Gargoyle a question.

How many of these stones are there?

The Gargoyle gestured a range in the air.

Gu Xi observed the Gargoyle's movements and realized that in the darkness, the ground was covered with such things.

These things are like stars scattered across the sky, lying here and there.

"Has it always been like this?"

Gu Xi asked again.

The Gargoyle nodded affirmatively.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Gu Xi's mind.

These can't be Gargoyle, machines, Puppet, or golems, can they?

If that's the case, it explains why the Ghost Squad couldn't detect these things, while the Gargoyle could see them at a glance.

This is probably because Gargoyle and these small stones are of the same kind.

At the same time, he also had a suspicion that the steel bars, gems and cement that seemed so simple to Gu Xi might be the necessary conditions for making this kind of golem.

So even if outsiders don't understand, those who walk this path will ensure the integrity of this golem.

When Gu Xi picked up the stone again, he exerted force on his hand, and the stone turned into powder.

Gu Xi later discovered that these stone-like golems, perhaps because their level and quality did not meet the standards, could only contain Soul Shard.

The situation is somewhat similar to the rats Gu Xi encountered when he was imprisoned in the dungeon; it takes ten to fifteen rats to gather a Complete Soul.

Looking up into the darkness, Gu Xi decisively ordered, "Gargoyle, take the Ghost Squad over there and destroy all these stones."

The Summoning Tower is beginning to extract Soul Shard.

Under Gu Xi's command, the Ghost Squad, having found no enemies in the darkness, swiftly launched their attack.

Led by the Gargoyle, all the stone golems were quickly smashed, and a large amount of steel bars and gems were delivered to Gu Xi.

As more and more items were delivered, Gu Xi gradually discovered...

Fighting these levelless golems is also beneficial for the Ghost Squad.

Although the Ghost Squad cannot be replenished because they lack levels and their souls are still Soul Shard.

However, the Ghost Squad itself has undergone some changes.

The Ghost Squad's White Impermanence attire is just like this; all of their White Impermanence eyes gleam with a jewel-like red light, and they originally carried no weapons.

Now, they are all carrying steel-reinforced Mourning Staff and chains.

It's clear that their participation in this competition was actually fruitful.

As long as there are gains, Gu Xi won't worry too much.

Soon, a White Impermanence landed in front of Gu Xi.

He was holding a stone the size of a human head in his hands.

Gu Xi immediately understood that the crucial moment had finally arrived, and this thing was probably the leader of the golems in front of him.

Gu Xi reached out and picked up the stone.

The moment he got the stone, Gu Xi believed his judgment.

This stone is also made of cement.

However, unlike other stones, this stone has several obvious cracks on its surface, and red light flashes from time to time at the cracks.

This thing is probably still running.

Gu Xi reached Gu Xi and applied force to the crack, easily breaking the stone open and revealing its interior.

Beneath the cement lies a relatively complete Mechanical Body.

The red gemstone serves as the power source for this Mechanical Body, while steel bars about the thickness of an index finger protect the gears and parts of the machine.

However, these were not what Gu Xi cared about most.

In Gu Xi's view, this was nothing more than an enlarged stone.

What truly attracts Gu Xi is the jelly-like Soul Crystal inside.

When Gu Xi picked it up, he could see patterns of various colored insects, Goblins, kobolds, and other military units on the Soul Crystal.

Just then, several other White Impermanence brought over similar items.

After Gu Xi disassembled it, he found that the situation inside was the same as before, except that there were different patterns inside the jelly-like Soul Crystal.

Gu Xi even saw patterns of deserts, rainforests, storms, lightning, and thunder.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xi couldn't help but laugh.

At this point, he understood the purpose of these stone-like golems.
