The battle in the distance was almost over. The enemies fighting the Machine Centipede had been mostly defeated and knocked to the ground by the Machine Centipede due to their superior strength.

Unlike the Mechanical Doll that guarded the waterway before, the enemies killed by the Machine Centipede were not mechs or golems, but an extremely thin creature.

These creatures all have green or blue skin.

They are only as tall as a normal person's calf, with their heads taking up a third of their body size. Despite their small stature, they wield iron hammers or Chain Hammer that are disproportionate to their size.

Gu Xi also noticed that the Machine Centipede that launched the attack all had some kind of impact mark on them.

If it weren't for the significant difference in their levels, and the fact that the Machine Centipede had Gu Xi's support, they would likely have suffered considerable losses against such an enemy.

However, that's not what Gu Xi is more concerned about right now.

At this moment, Gu Xi noticed that the "Blood Banquet Book," which had already floated behind him, had floated out again.

This indicates that the green-skinned creatures that were just killed were flesh-and-blood beings, and they could be transformed into Vampire.

Faced with this situation, Gu Xi frowned and opened the "Blood Banquet Book".

Then it was discovered that the Blood Banquet Book offered Gu Xi three different transformation schemes.

One type is the Vampire who becomes a proper vampire. Because these creatures are relatively small, it's impossible for them to be Vampire carrying greatswords. They can only transform into Vampire that fly like bats.

Of course, the conversion process is carried out without any discounts; it is done on a one-to-one basis according to the number of corpses.

That alone was enough to make Gu Xi's heart flutter.

It should be noted that Gu Xi currently only has Vampire Troops of no more than two hundred people, and they are all under Dimi's control.

Once this batch of Vampire transforms, adding one or two thousand more Vampire won't be a problem at all.

Then these Vampire can immediately join the battle.

The other two are different; one is to transform these creatures into Blood-sucking Bat.

These Blood-sucking Bat are also level 8, but they are not used as soldiers; they are used as mounts.

It can serve as a mount for Vampire or other units, can train Flying Troops, and can also serve as a mobile Flight Point between cities.

This transformation surprised Gu Xi somewhat.

He never expected that "The Blood Banquet Book" would be played in this way.

This was something he had never considered before.

If these Blood-sucking Bat could actually bring Gu Xi Flying Troops, it would be a pretty good option.

The last type is a subordinate branch of Vampire: Blood-sucking Laborer.

This is actually a weakened version of Vampire; according to normal understanding, it should actually be considered a Vampire servant.

Just like those guys in Dimi- Giant Garden.

However, those Vampire servants followed the path of gardeners, cooks, and servants, serving Dimi.

The selection of these Blood-sucking Laborer was made because these creatures possessed some mechanical skills.

This is a direct reminder to Gu Xi that these creatures, when they are alive, are actually experts at tightening screws.

As for what Gu Xi will choose, that depends on Gu Xi's own decision.

Anyway, the Summoning is there, so even if Gu Xi doesn't use it, it's not a loss for the "Blood Banquet Book".

Gu Xi thought for a moment.

All three of these routes are actually good choices.

One is to increase the number of troops that can be used immediately. Putting everything else aside, even if the level 8 Vampire are not given to Dimi, Gu Xi himself would still be a powerful fighting force.

Another option is to add a new route for Gu Xi, a route to the aerial Flight Point.

As the Aryadovi City grows larger, relying solely on Carriage Station to connect the various districts becomes somewhat impractical.

Having a large number of Blood-sucking Bat as mounts for Flight Point would be a great supplement for Gu Xi.

As for the final Blood-sucking Laborer, this clearly means turning Vampire from Combat Troops into laborers.

On the surface, this seems like a good choice, but for Gu Xi, it's not a good choice at all.

If he really wants to develop laborers, wouldn't those level 1 undead converted from Dual Death into the city be useful? Why must he use level 8 undead as laborers?

So Gu Xi quickly came up with an idea.

He pressed his hand down, and the Summoning was immediately activated.

[Summoning successful. You have obtained 1133 Giant Blood-sucking Bat, 1133 experience points for the Summoning, and 1133 experience points for the "Blood Banquet Book".]

[Giant Blood-sucking Bat (Level 8, Summoned Creature): Experience (0/800), Attack 9, Defense 7, Health 55, Skills: Blood Drain Recovery, High-Speed Movement, Sonic Attack, Flying Troops (Rideable)]

With a flash of blood-red light, a large number of giant bats with wingspans of about five meters took flight.

Judging from the size of these bats, Gu Xi would never have imagined that just a second ago, they were corpses no taller than a car wheel.

After taking flight, the bats immediately flew towards Gu Xi's direction.

Gu Xi opened the gates of the Steel City Gate to let the bats in, while simultaneously giving orders to the Machine Centipede to search for new enemies in the vicinity.

This time, Gu Xi didn't plan to do any missions; he had only one goal: to kill the enemy.

Kill all visible enemies.

Under Gu Xi's orders, battle information was quickly transmitted back in waves.

Gu Xi's men then killed enemies from this Underground World in twos and threes.

These enemies varied in number, with the largest group numbering around three thousand and the smallest around four or five hundred.

However, no new unit types appeared this time. It was always Gargoyle, green sprites, and short Mechanical Doll.

Gu Xi initially focused intently on each battle.

However, as time went on, Gu Xi eventually stopped paying attention to the battle.

He just needs to wait for the battle report to pop up, then he can use some magic to connect to the Summoning Tower and perform a soul transformation on the corpse.

With the remaining time on the battlefield, Gu Xi simply took out the various books he hadn't finished reading and began reading them right there on the battlefield.

While Gu Xi was reading, strange phenomena would occasionally occur around him, but Gu Xi didn't care at all. Whenever he read for a certain period of time, the ornament on his left hand would directly take away his book, preventing him from continuing to read.

At this point, Gu Xi would get up and stretch his body, Corpse Summoning Soul to become the undead under his command.

Let's observe the battle situation again.

If he has too many new undead under his command, he will have Yellow Springs Dragon Robe intervene and enlighten some Undead Headman, who will then lead the new undead into battle, thus speeding up the fighting here.
