————————————-

As the Soul Summoning Tower rose, Gu Xi also stood at the top of the Soul Summoning Tower.

Standing in this position, Gu Xi could clearly see that at the end of the yellow sand, all the creatures living in the desert were visible through the sandstorm.

Among these creatures, most were hard-shelled insect swarms.

These mainly included arthropods like scorpions and spiders.

It seemed they had already adapted to the desert environment.

Yet, when these swarms appeared, Gu Xi noticed something different.

Although the swarm’s numbers were astounding, surging ahead with an imposing momentum,

Gu Xi found something obviously amiss among them.

The biggest anomaly was that these insects charged out of the sandstorm with their shells surprisingly clean.

Gu Xi wasn’t saying their shells must be ragged.

But they should at least carry some sand.

Their color should be closer to that of the sand.

However, the colors of these insects were predominantly bright green, vivid purple, bright red, and bright yellow.

It was as if they feared others wouldn’t notice their presence.

At the same time, they were mixed within the sandstorm and showed no color-based formation.

Instead, these colors were mixed together.

The situation was clearly abnormal.

Gu Xi pondered based on his own thoughts.

In his view, either all troops should be uniform in appearance, or, if using color to categorize, they should at least ensure each troop had a unified color.

Gu Xi isn’t someone with OCD, but his logic was understandable.

Given distinctly mixed colors, commanding troops efficiently was impossible.

Yet these insect swarms before him were all mixed together.

At first glance, it seemed chaotic and numerous.

This was clearly abnormal.

Gu Xi suddenly conjectured that many of these foes might be fake.

With this thought, Gu Xi lightly tapped the Soul Summoning Tower with the Cold Wind Staff, and thirty Necromancers appeared around the Soul Summoning Tower.

During this period, besides normal Undead Magic, Gu Xi had also learned various Ritual Magic.

He could now utilize Necromancers to perform some Magic Ceremonies, expanding the range and enhancing the power of the magic.

This time, naturally, the magic ceremony was the common skill of an Undead Mage, Death Ripple.

After three months of desperate practice, Gu Xi’s Death Ripple level had already been promoted to level 6, and with a level 1 enhancement effect, it directly became a 6+1.

The thirty Necromancers essentially existed to expand the impact range of the Death Ripple.

After their appearance, they constantly moved around the Soul Summoning Tower, and with every move, they made a move.

All these actions were under Gu Xi’s control, as he intended for them to move, cooperating with his actions.

There’s no denying that Gu Xi’s current level in Ritual Magic had reached a decent level.

Though he hadn’t promoted to a higher tier yet, he was comparable to those Ritual Magic contemplated by Brave Fight.

Most importantly, through this ceremony, Gu Xi borrowed the power of the Soul Summoning Tower.

Once the Soul Summoning Tower was out, it meant that the entire battlefield, within sight of the Soul Summoning Tower, was within its control range; his Death Ripple could be instantly directed there.

”Death Ripple.”

Upon confirming the ceremony’s completion, Gu Xi then thrust the Cold Wind Staff down heavily.

A visible wave propagated outward.

With this push, all the insect swarms rushing out of the sandstorm were directly enveloped.

As the Death Ripple passed, Gu Xi heard a series of bubble-bursting sounds.

After that, an unknown number of insect swarms vanished before him.

The insect swarm army that had rushed out earlier disappeared, as if never present, right there on the spot.

Such a scene left Gu Xi dumbfounded.

He had considered these swarms could be fake, but he never thought it could be to this extent.

The situation was clearly abnormal.

Puzzled, Gu Xi flipped off the Soul Summoning Tower.

He grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, weighing it in his hand.

Initially, there was doubt in Gu Xi’s eyes, but as the weighing motion quickened, Gu Xi finally flicked his hand, tossing all the sand into the air.

Gu Xi stood in place, facing the yellow sand blown by the wind.

The yellow sand landed on his face, yet did not enter his eyes.

Clearly, all this was fake.

Gu Xi extended his left hand, and the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp appeared in his hand.

”Immune to Mind Magic.”

At his command, the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp lit up, enveloping Gu Xi in a white light.

Gu Xi glanced around and saw no changes, indicating no Mind Magic had been used to hypnotize or affect his judgment.

Thus, the only possibility for the current situation remained.

Gu Xi scratched the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp, drawing a drop of fresh blood that extinguished its light.

Then, Gu Xi said, ”Immune to Illusion!”

This time, the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp emitted a pale-pink hue, enveloping Gu Xi once more.

With this glow descending, Gu Xi’s vision changed.

The rolling yellow sand desert was gone, the blistering sun overhead was gone, and darkness surrounded him.

In the distance, even the sound of water droplets could be heard.

Gu Xi still trusted the efficacy of the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp. With illusions now negated, it indicated that everything before him was the world’s true form.

Those who had entered this world earlier were all deceived by the illusion.

Although uncertain of the illusion’s source, an illusion capable of deceiving the Undead must not be simple.

The surrounding darkness, however, was quite understandable.

Gu Xi pointed skyward, and the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon flew upward; shortly, it returned with news for Gu Xi.

Ascending approximately two thousand meters, one would encounter the ceiling.

Thus, it meant Gu Xi and his group were within an underground cave.

This could even be the Underworld.

This scenario was a first for Gu Xi.

After some thought, Gu Xi still chose to retract the Soul Summoning Tower, then deployed the Steel City Gate, dispatching the Ghost Squad to scout around.

Alongside the Ghost Squad, the Gargoyle Troops were also sent to explore.

Over three months of reinforcement had increased the gargoyle numbers to about 230.

No sooner had they flown out than they charged towards the source of the water sounds.
