"Sir, something's wrong. There's half a body buried beneath the Abandoned Old City District."

No, it's only one-tenth of the corpse, just the right shoulder to the right waist. There were three laboratories that extracted and suppressed it before, so it was fine.

The body now seems somewhat out of control.

As Gu Xi was heading towards the tavern, he heard Luna's voice.

One-tenth of the corpse only has the right shoulder to right waist section? What's going on?

Although Gu Xi didn't quite understand, he already knew where the problem came from.

If it were anything else, Gu Xi really wouldn't know how to handle it, but it was a corpse.

Gu Xi wasn't worried at all; there wasn't a corpse that a necromancer couldn't handle.

If so, it must be because the necromancer's level is not high enough.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi decisively said, "I understand. I'll hold him off. You can handle it however you want."

After saying Gu Xi glanced at the tavern right in front of him, then turned and left quickly.

The Wine Maiden was already standing in front of the tavern to greet customers, was also puzzled by this situation. She turned to look at the maid beside her and touched her skull.

"What's wrong with the City Lord? Am I not pretty anymore? Is that why he ran away as soon as he saw me?"

The Skeleton maids shook their heads repeatedly upon hearing this; they dared not say anything casually.

Faced with such a question, they could only shake their heads and pretend they didn't know.

As Gu Xi ran towards the Abandoned Old City, he had no time to consider Wine Maiden's thoughts. He only had one thought in mind: once he got out, he would definitely ask someone if there were any mounts or similar items he could trade.

Running back and forth like this every time, Gu Xi gets tired too.

Before Gu Xi even reached the Abandoned Old City District, the Death Avatar had already pounced on the ground.

His target was the thickest and biggest arm.

As the Death Avatar flew down, the arm twitched slightly, as if it had been stimulated.

The fingers tried to reach out and grab the Death Avatar, but ultimately failed.

This arm movement provoked a counterattack from the Death Avatar bit down hard on the largest arm.

With a bite, the Death Avatar attempted a rapid flip to sever the arm.

The problem is that, besides being long, this arm is also quite thick; biting into the bronze-textured arm wouldn't cause much damage.

Instead, the Death Avatar almost thrown out, which made it quite angry.

He felt as if he had been provoked.

These are all inanimate objects, and he refused to believe that they could do anything to him.

So the Death Avatar flew high into the sky again, and with a downward impact, it turned into black mist and crashed heavily into the Bronze Arm.

With this impact, the Bronze Arm that had been unable to bite finally moved.

But instead of falling, the Bronze Arm swung back and slammed heavily onto the Death Avatar.

The Death Avatar had already reached level 11, yet it was still directly swatted away, its life force instantly reduced by half.

If it weren't for the fact that the bones of the Death Avatar were relatively hard, they might have turned to dust by now.

With a flip on the ground, the Death Avatar again, his body rapidly turning into black mist, preparing to launch another attack on the Bronze Arm.

Just then, Gu Xi rushed in from outside.

"Death Avatar, retreat."

Upon hearing the command, the Death Avatar swiftly came to Gu Xi's side.

At this moment, several thoughts were flashing through Gu Xi's mind. He was already certain that the Bronze Arm was connected to an incomplete corpse.

At the same time, the corpse was affected by some force and was constantly being activated. The Bronze Arm that was emerging from the ground was the effect of the corpse being activated.

Moreover, given the energy stored in that part of the corpse, it's believed that it won't be long before the entire Aryadovi is covered with such arms.

Ultimately, it's really hard to say who will ultimately own Aryadovi City.

When Gu Xi summoned the Death Avatar back, he had only one thought in his mind: to deal a ruthless blow to the corpse buried underground and wipe it out from the source.

Others might not know how to handle the corpse, but necromancers have plenty of ways to deal with it.

Corpse Explosion is the best option.

Although the explosion may have leveled the Abandoned Old City, it was not a big deal for Gu Xi.

Anyway, the Abandoned Old City was obtained for free. Besides, they only blew up the urban area of Abandoned Old City, and the land that was integrated is still there.

Just as Gu Xi was considering where to stand to blow up the corpses so that he wouldn't be affected, the ground in the Abandoned Old City suddenly began to shake.

Luna's voice rang in Gu Xi's ears again.

"Sir, suppress that corpse."

Without much thought, Gu Xi immediately pointed to the Death Avatar.

"Clone, suppress!"

Upon hearing this, the Death Avatar transformed into black mist and flew into the air. Then, it made a sharp turn in mid-air and plunged headfirst into the ground.

In the next instant, Gu Xi felt his magic power being drained, just like when he summoned the Death Avatar.

The Death Avatar disintegrated on the spot, transforming into precise death power that seeped into the ground.

In that instant, the entire Abandoned Old City District was stained black.

After disintegrating the Death Avatar, Gu Xi almost fell to the ground. The feeling of having all his magic power drained was even more unbearable than when he had summoned the Death Avatar.

But Gu Xi had no intention of falling. He used the Powderize Staff to support his body and tried his best to stand up.

As the Death Avatar transformed into the Death Power, the ground of the Abandoned Old City District began to shrink continuously.

Meanwhile, the three laboratories have been completely squeezed out of Aryadovi and sent to Victoria City.

The shrinking land has squeezed out the original locations of the three laboratories. At the same time, the Bronze Arm have undergone a new change under the influence of the Death Power, transforming from bronze muscles into bronze hand bones.

As the arm transformed into a hand, Gu Xi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He noticed that the bones inside the hand bone actually resembled some animal bones.

The hand bones in one arm were different, suggesting that there might have been more than one body that died below.

However, Luna was calculating based on a single corpse, and Gu Xi wouldn't say anything more. One corpse is one corpse, after all, all corpses are the same.

Under the suppression of Gu Xi and the Death Avatar, Luna finally completed the transformation of this area.

The land in the Abandoned Old City District turned black, all the houses collapsed and decayed, and finally it simply became a flat plain, with only bronze Skeleton arms sticking out from the ground.

The tallest thing was still that arm, which was over twenty Domi long, but now Gu Xi had a feeling that the arm was under his control.

At that moment, Gu Xi also heard a voice.

[Ding! The Abandoned Old City District has been altered by the Death Power. The vacant land in the area has been redeveloped and transformed into the Hundred-Armed Giant Graveyard Zone.]
