Burying the Dragon Vein
The Ghost Squad is doing incredibly well; in just half an hour, they dug a Deep Pit at the location designated by Ghost Squad Gu Xi.
Because the excavated items do not need to be transported back to Aryadovi City.
They simply piled the soil aside, which made their digging much faster.
So it only took less than half an hour to dig out what Gu Xi wanted.
Upon arriving at the Deep Pit and looking down, seeing specks of black luster mixed in with the soil, a thought flashed through Gu Xi's mind.
This is an abandoned mine.
However, judging from the current situation, this is clearly not due to over-exploitation that led to the abandonment of the current mine.
If it had been over-exploited, there should be nothing left in this vein.
The current situation is clearly abnormal.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Xi released the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe Holder again and pressed his right hand on it once more.
Because the ore vein had already been mined out, Gu Xi could see it more clearly from his vantage point.
In Gu Xi's eyes, the mineral spring in front of him was shrouded in a gray aura, as if it were telling a story of resentment.
Gu Xi murmured a strange tone to the gray aura.
These are Soul Whisper that can communicate with the spirits of the dead.
Because he aimed correctly and used the right method, his Soul Whisper actually elicited a reaction from these gray auras.
Gu Xi noticed a glimmer of green light above the gray aura.
This is the spirit's friendly response to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi wasn't stupid. Upon seeing the green light, he immediately activated the Death Lord's abilities.
"My... sir..., please help..."
Upon seeing this situation, Gu Xi decisively slammed the Cold Wind Staff into the ground.
"Death Sorcerer Summoning!"
Thirty Death Wizard appeared swiftly.
Gu Xi looked up at the size of the gray aura and shook his head.
"Death Sorcerer Summoning!"
"..."
After four consecutive Death Sorcerer Summoning, Gu Xi released a total of 150 Death Wizard on the scene.
Then Gu Xi quickly switched to the virtual magic and released the Death Avatar again.
After doing all this, Gu Xi took a deep breath and gave the Death Wizard his command.
"All Death Wizard, prepare to summon spirits."
As for Gu Xi, he didn't follow the usual method of summoning spirits; he had already figured out the condition of the mine.
The mine is dead, but death always has an echo.
Mineral veins can die, but they can also be resurrected.
If Gu Xi wants to make a move, he can just aim at the gray aura in the sky.
The reason he went to such lengths was not just for the undead; he was preparing to Undead Transformation.
With the help of 150 Death Wizard, the setup for the Undead Transformation was completed quickly.
Gu Xi turned to the Death Avatar-Death God— and said, "When I say 'Slay,' use Death Reaping on the mine below!"
After finishing his Gu Xi began to work on the mineral vein below.
The most important aspect of Undead Transformation is to ensure the integrity of the undead's body and soul through various means, so that everything about the undead can be preserved.
They even need to invest some resources to ensure that the body of this undead will be strengthened.
The vein in front of us is Metal Mine. Although we don't know why it was abandoned, there are only two possible ways to convert it.
One approach is to use the original mineral vein as the main source and stuff the soul with the gray aura back in.
One type is dominated by gray souls, absorbing what is left behind by the mineral veins.
The two different choices represent different ways of dealing with the Undead Transformation.
The fact that Gu Xi summoned so many Death Wizard so quickly indicates that he had already decided to strengthen the opponent's soul.
As for the mineral veins, they will become the nutrients for the Death Wizard's transformation.
After all, what Gu Xi was interested in wasn't how powerful the mineral vein was, but rather the presence of a soul he could communicate with.
Under Gu Xi's command, all the Death Wizard raised their short staffs and pointed them at the gray aura in the sky that was invisible to normal people.
As the Summoning infused Soul Shard into the gray aura, the gray aura in Gu Xi's eyes changed once again.
These auras are slowly solidifying, and at the same time, they have the potential to descend into the dead mine veins.
"Now! Grim Reaper, strike!"
Death Avatar-Death God had been waiting for this opportunity. Upon hearing Gu Xi's order, he didn't ask why, but directly raised the Despair Scythe and slashed at the abandoned mine below.
As soon as he made his move, Gu Xi also made his move.
Gu Xi reached out and patted the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe Holder.
"Burial Dragon Vein!"
The Yellow Springs Dragon Robe activated this skill immediately.
At the same time, Gu Xi shouted at the gray aura still hovering above the mine.
What are you waiting for?!
Just then, the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe Holder also made his move. He pointed at the mine still in the Deep Pit and made a cutting motion.
Then the abandoned veins beneath the deep mine began to converge in one direction.
Just then, Gu Xi uttered those words, and in Gu Xi's eyes, the gray aura rushed towards the concentrated mineral vein.
Roar! A roar came from the mine, and then the gray aura finally appeared above the Deep Pit.
Even without the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe, Gu Xi could see that the gray aura was rapidly condensing, and at the same time, a large amount of rusty scrap iron was being continuously absorbed by the gray aura, slowly condensing into a dragon shape that was even longer than the Black Dragon.
"It's done!"
Gu Xi's heart stirred, and he released his right hand from the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe.
At this moment, Gu Xi realized that something seemed wrong with his right hand.
He reached out and saw that his right hand was covered in rust.
It made his skin turn a dark red.
Gu Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly began to check the situation.
