Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 337: Chapter 335: Researching the Death Rule

”Alright, leave this to me. I was supposed to handle this during the day, but I had some things to do then. Now I can use the night’s time to study these corpses and see how they should be dealt with.”

Regarding these eerie corpses, Gu Xi was already quite confident.

Although he still couldn’t prevent these eerie beings from resurrecting through other means, Gu Xi could extract the death rules from their bodies and suppress them for three to five days.

As long as those eerie beings couldn’t resurrect in those three to five days,

that would be sufficient.

Gu Xi estimated that it would take Luna about three days to seize the Mysterious Mirror Image Space.

As long as those eerie beings that were killed did not resurrect within those three days, it would be enough.

Gu Xi quickly began his preparations, choosing a relatively good location to handle these eerie corpses, which was at the Evil Wood Lake in the Magic Plant District.

Although there was still chaos in the Magic Plant District, the lake water at Evil Wood Lake indeed had the effect of nurturing and purifying corpses.

Therefore, Gu Xi planned to deal with the corpses there while researching how to extract the death rules from them.

As Gu Xi commanded the remaining Undead in the city to transport the corpses to the Magic Plant District, an owl flew to him.

This was the owl Gu Xi had given to Zuo Ya.

Gu Xi paused for a moment, reached out, and caught the owl, noticing that it carried a note.

’Hello, Brother Gu Xi. I’ve received your letter. I must say, your letter was a great help to us. Thanks to the information you sent, the players in our city suffered fewer losses in this incident.

On the contrary, the other two city leaders weren’t as lucky. According to my information, they lost thirty percent of their manpower in this incident.

Dying in the restroom, what a magnificent achievement that is.

We don’t intend to miss such a golden opportunity; tonight is a great time for hunting.

I wonder if you’re interested in joining. If you are, I’m planning to call a few more for a grand operation against Qiufeng City.’

Looking at the letter, Gu Xi hesitated for a moment but eventually decided against going out.

He casually sent back a reply and used a Fish Dragon to send it out.

”Brother Zuo, I’ve encountered some matters and am dealing with large-scale eerie beings, which might take two to three days. So I won’t be participating in this hunt. If there’s any new information, I’ll contact you.”

After dispatching the letter, Gu Xi brought the corpses to the vicinity of the Evil Wood Lake in the Magic Plant District.

Finding a clean place to sit, Gu Xi began to dismantle the eerie corpses.

Due to the difference in his approach to handling the corpses, Gu Xi’s subsequent actions differed as well.

Unlike the ease with which he had dealt with Shu Yun’s corpse before, this time Gu Xi used all the techniques he had learned, focusing on disassembly.

Disassembling these corpses.

Since Gu Xi still had a sufficient number of Undead, he didn’t mind using these corpses to create new Undead, so he wielded his tools decisively, extracting the parts of the corpses that emitted eerie air.

Throughout the disassembly process, Gu Xi diligently recorded information about these corpses, occasionally examining the quality of certain items on the corpses.

If he found something suitable, he would set it aside.

Even if something wasn’t suitable, Gu Xi wasn’t eager to dispose of the corpses.

He knew that as long as the corpses were there, and the death rules hadn’t been deciphered, he couldn’t discard them.

Because then he wouldn’t know where the eerie beings would resurrect.

To ensure Luna’s safety in this battle, Gu Xi had to handle this matter well.

After extracting yet another eerie organ, Gu Xi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He recalled the twelve Golems he had seen at the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin’s place.

A feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.

”Rules are inscribed in time, life is hidden in rumors, and I finally found it.”

Gu Xi reached towards a certain spot and extracted a mass of pale blue essence.

This was precisely the eerie death rule; as long as this eerie fragment remained, it meant the eerie being wasn’t truly dead, preventing the birth of a new one. However, if this eerie fragment vanished,

then the situation needed specific analysis: If killed by external forces, a new eerie being would appear shortly.

However, if it were killed using a method specially designed for eerie beings, then no new eerie being would appear in the short term.

Especially those unique, super-large creepy beings, often their core point resided in this death rule.

As long as they weren’t killed according to the rules, they could seize the opportunity to resurrect, remaining the unique and strongest.

Now, this batch was all ordinary Mirror Image eerie beings, except for two large, unique Mirror Image eerie beings. But those two were obviously different from normal eerie beings, and Gu Xi hadn’t handled their corpses yet.

Just now, Gu Xi had extracted only a death rule from an ordinary eerie being.

Holding the death rule in his hand, he felt it fading away continuously.

It seemed that while he could extract the death rule, he couldn’t preserve it.

But fortunately, with a quick thought, Gu Xi retrieved the Water of Order obtained from Shu Yun and tossed the death rule into it.

Afterward, Gu Xi discovered that his choice was correct, as the death rule did not dissipate further after being immersed in the Water of Order.

This showed that Qiufeng City truly dealt with the birth of eerie beings.

After discovering the response method, Gu Xi’s speed in processing the corpses increased significantly. He first located the death rules on the corpses and inserted them into the Water of Order. Once these death rules were extracted, Gu Xi finally had the time to deal with the corpses.

Without the influence of the death rules, the corpses were merely ordinary ones, albeit with some components imbued with the mysterious power for a longer duration, providing a few useful parts.

Gu Xi’s Corpse Bone Research level reached level 3, giving him a chance to extract some white-quality materials from the disassembled corpses.

Simultaneously, through these materials, Gu Xi gained further understanding of these eerie beings.

Now, the constitution of these eerie beings was no secret in Gu Xi’s eyes.

So, Gu Xi finally turned his attention to a corpse that had been stripped of the death rules, performing the Soul Summoning Skill on the eerie being’s body.

With a flash of white light descending into the eerie body, it moved slightly, the flesh scattering on the spot, and bones rose from the flesh, forming a Skeleton Soldier.
