The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

"Grown ups!"

As soon as Gu Xi came out of the Troop Stockade City Gate, he saw Mido.

After Gu Xi made his choice, the Steel City Gate was fixed in a certain position, serving as a reference point for the other Hero.

They only move slightly when the battle line advances; otherwise, they hardly move at all.

The Main City Gate follows Gu Xi wherever he goes, mainly to ensure that Gu Xi can contact Aryadovi City at any time to convey new orders, and also to ensure that Gu Xi knows his last location.

Only the Troop Stockade City Gate, remained fixed from the very beginning and was never moved.

As soon as he came out of the Troop Stockade City Gate, Gu Xi glanced at Mido and asked seriously.

"How is the situation?"

"The Corpse Worm followed the edge of the Stone Wall and tried many places before finally finding a spot to dig downwards. I followed the path with them, so the location is definitely correct. We've already dug to the end; we just need to dig a little further up to enter the underground space hidden behind the Stone Wall."

However, there is one thing we cannot be sure of, and that is whether there are other passages in this space.

"If so, wouldn't our digging be too noisy and attract the attention of the enemy inside?"

"Your consideration is very good."

Gu Xi nodded in agreement with Mido's idea.

Gu Xi knew that Mido were different here with the other Hero.

For other Hero, if the enemy runs away, so be it. If this underground space is gone, they can catch up in the next one.

But it's different here in Mido.

Gu Xi and his group came here because they were convinced that there were other enemies in this underground space.

If the enemy behind them escapes, all their efforts will have been in vain.

However, Gu Xi managed to calm Mido down. He released the wielder of the Mind Nether Lamp, placed his hand on the wielder's shoulder, and, through the Mind Nether Lamp's perspective, focused on the gaze that had once been watching him.

The line still fell intermittently in the same spot as before.

The armored personnel's assessment was correct; the enemy was still in the same location.

As for why they are still around, Gu Xi doesn't care at all.

All he needs to care about is whether he can find what he wants.

"Let's go."

Without a moment's hesitation, Gu Xi made a decisive decision.

Upon hearing this, Mido jumped down into the newly dug tunnel with Gu Xi.

Unlike Dali, Mido always stayed by Gu Xi's side.

As we walked forward, Mido was still explaining the situation.

"We were digging along this line before, but I realized something was wrong halfway through, as you saw, sir."

The direction here is off.

However, this location is clearly Stone Wall foundation.

It's impossible to dig through from here; digging in other directions will only make things worse.

So we simply went back, and although we dug further and wasted some time starting from where we hadn't gone astray, this time we didn't run into any problems.

As Mido explained, he led Gu Xi toward the correct path.

The Underground Passage was clearly newly dug, as there were no lights along the way.

Mido, however, seemed to be able to see it and walked forward with ease.

Sometimes when they need to turn a corner, Mido will explain the situation to Gu Xi in detail.

After walking for about seventeen or eighteen minutes, Mido finally stopped.

Gu Xi noticed that there were two Corpse Worm that had stopped in front of him.

The silk thread that the person holding the garment saw was not far away.

Gu Xi nodded.

"This is the right spot, dig up!"

Upon hearing this, the Corpse Worm sprang into action, digging upwards along the newly excavated wall.

Gu Xi silently switched to Mind Power mode, preparing his virtual magic.

This time, the locations of the three City Gate were clearly defined, and Gu Xi would not use them casually in the event of a powerful enemy.

The large undead that were originally following Gu Xi, whether they were Bone Titan or Nether Soul Dragon, were unable to enter.

At present, only the Bone Armor Centipede and Isabella were able to come in with Gu Xi.

Although Gu Xi was quite confident, he was certain that there was no one in the world who could hurt him.

But Gu Xi was not a brainless person; he was well aware of the saying that a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall.

In battle, he would charge to the front lines whenever necessary.

However, he would never do anything that could lead to disaster due to momentary carelessness.

Gu Xi immediately prepared the Death Avatar.

The Death Avatar will be released immediately should any problem occur.

Just as Gu Xi was getting ready, the Corpse Worm gnawed through the last layer of the ground. Gu Xi heard a cracking sound coming from above, as if something was about to fall from above.

"The Death Avatar!"

Gu Xi decisively pointed in the direction from which the sound came from above.

Within the black mist, the Death Avatar charged upwards.

This time Death Avatar-Bone Dragon, has changed again. Its entire body has turned a bright bronze color, and in the black mist, it can be clearly seen that beneath the Bone Dragon's skeleton, there are many shadows of internal organs emitting a blue light.

At the same time, within the black mist, there were glittering powders like crystal dust, and specks of red light carrying sparks.

This is what the Death Avatar has gained over these three days.

Don't assume that the Nether Soul Dragon and the Bone Armor Centipede gained the upper hand during these three days.

In fact, as the Death Avatar under Gu Xi's command, it also participated in the process of devouring the Mine Core.

They're just more selective, and they only swallow the good stuff.

After all, the Mine Core has already been proven by the Nether Soul Dragon and the Bone Armor Centipede.

Gu Xi naturally wouldn't deny his own Death Avatar a chance.

As it turned out, Gu Xi was right.

After the Death Avatar swallowed the Mine Core, the Death Avatar-Bone Dragon gained these internal organs.

With its internal organs intact, the Death Avatar-Bone Dragon can unleash its Death Dragon Breath for about a minute.

Additionally, once the bones turn a bright bronze color, the black mist surrounding the Death Avatar will be able to equip two kits simultaneously, instead of only being able to equip one kit as before.

The last change is for the Ghost Domain Battlefield, which is the Death Avatar.

Gu Xi hasn't had time to buff the Ghost Domain Battlefield yet, so the effects haven't been shown, but that doesn't mean the Death Avatar-Bone Dragon hasn't undergone these changes.

The same is true for Death Avatar-Death God. His changes are even more noticeable. A little behind his upper arm, Death Avatar-Death God grows another pair of arms.

These arms are now gripping the Death Avatar-Bone Dragon – and charging upwards together!
