Rushing out of the passage, Gu Xi once again entered a new underground space and was immediately met with a new interception.

The enemies appearing this time were still the same as before, consisting of various small puppets and golems, none exceeding a meter in height.

However, as a golem and puppet army, their combat style was quite brave and fierce. Even knowing they couldn’t win, they charged forward without hesitation, showing no signs of retreat.

When the Evil Coffin rushed out, they immediately charged towards Gu Xi.

Facing the charging golems, Gu Xi, who came alone, showed no fear.

The Cold Wind Staff tapped the ground, and an Ice Ring spread outward from Gu Xi’s center.

The Ice Ring is relatively special among Water Magic spells.

When casting the Ice Ring, one must be precise with the positioning.

If positioned incorrectly, it may not only miss the enemy but sometimes even hit allies.

Now was the perfect opportunity for Gu Xi. Centered on himself, he pushed the Ice Ring outward.

All the golems and puppets charging toward him, regardless of their quality, were frozen in place.

Some with weaker levels were even shattered into pieces by the impact of the Ice Ring’s outward push.

After retreating to a safe distance, Gu Xi did not deploy the Soul Summoning Tower as before.

He didn’t even consider switching to Virtual Mana to cast Death Incarnation.

The enemies before him were only Level 1 or 2.

Releasing a Level 15 Death Incarnation now would be overkill.

Gu Xi could handle these guys on his own.

With this thought, Gu Xi piloted the Evil Coffin straight toward the frozen enemies. As he charged forward, a Bone Curtain expanded outward from him.

The golems, who barely managed to crawl out of the freezing, rushed up again.

As they charged, even before they got close to Gu Xi, they were sent flying by the Bone Curtain, leaving no complete bodies upon landing.

When Dali and his subordinates arrived, a large group of golems nearby had already been exterminated by Gu Xi alone.

”My lord!”

At that moment, Gu Xi had just finished this wave of extermination. He looked around and, seeing no other enemies, turned to Dali and said.

”Dali, you’re just in time. Start cleaning up the battlefield and find the passage to the next underground world. I have other arrangements to make.”

Hearing Gu Xi’s orders, Dali, full of doubts, had nothing to ask and promptly began organizing his men.

Just as Dali was considering where to send the sorted items, he suddenly realized something seemed to be moving behind him.

Turning around, Dali saw that the Steel City Gate from the previous underground space had been transported here.

The Soul Summoning Tower was also transported along.

As Gu Xi stepped onto the Soul Summoning Tower, he didn’t forget to say to Dali.

”Your speed needs to be faster. Our goal this time isn’t to kill slowly, but to sweep through.

Our time is limited. Besides these few underground spaces, we have many more underground spaces to deal with.

If you can’t handle it, I will have someone else do it.”

Hearing Gu Xi’s serious requirement, Dali instead felt excited.

For ambitious heroes, their biggest fear was not being valued by those in higher positions.

Now that Gu Xi had given orders and set requirements, it equated to giving him a target.

As long as this task was done well, there was no need to worry about anything.

Thus, Dali quickly led his troops to spread outside, ready to deal with everything in the underground space.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi wasn’t idle; he needed to perform Summoning.

This round of combat was entirely handled by Gu Xi himself.

The majority of the destructive power came from the Bone Storm and Bone Curtain.

So this time, the bodies were quite scattered, with many unable to be pieced together.

During the Summoning, the only thing that appeared before Gu Xi was the Book of the Grub.

Seeing the Book of the Grub becoming almost solid, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Gu Xi’s eyes.

As soon as the Book of the Grub became solid, it meant Gu Xi had completed his advancement on this path.

Afterward, he wouldn’t need to use the Book of the Grub for Summoning.

The Book of the Grub will be stored in Gu Xi’s Soul Summoning Tower, making future summonings smoother.

But Gu Xi’s plan wasn’t like this.

In the Chaoyang Radiance Guild, he had learned a few things.

According to some rumors,

some large forces had specific Soul Summoning Towers built for each Book of Advancement.

This allows for more professional support when needed.

Gu Xi thought about implementing such arrangements in Yalidu City.

After all, Yalidu City would have at least seven districts there.

At that time, he could construct at least seven Soul Summoning Towers.

Currently, he only had four Books of Advancement of Soul Summoning Skill, so he could easily allocate four Soul Summoning Towers to place the Books of Advancement.

Once the Books of Advancement were placed, they would automatically absorb Soul Fragments and help Gu Xi with some transformations related to Soul Summoning Skill, making his tasks easier.

Unlike now, where each Soul Summoning Tower only managed one area, requiring Gu Xi’s personal intervention in Summoning, preventing him from leaving the main battle area.

While contemplating future routes, Gu Xi began Summoning.

Under the influence of the Soul Summoning Tower, numerous red light dots fell on nearby corpses.

This time, Gu Xi didn’t create any more Mechanical Centipedes.

There were already too many of these troops; Gu Xi didn’t need to further increase their numbers, especially since this time’s corpses included metal, stone, and flesh.

The materials mixed together, and if only Mechanical Centipedes were summoned, it would waste other materials.

Gu Xi simply chose another type of insect for transformation.

He made good use of the excellent materials in front of him to avoid wasting so much flesh.

Under Gu Xi’s Soul Summoning Skill, a voice echoed in his ear.

[Summoning successful, you obtained 2393 Lurking Spiders, gained 2393 points of experience for Soul Summoning Skill, gained 2393 points of experience for Book of the Grub, the Book of the Grub reached 10,000, solidified, the Grub path advancement completed, the level cap of Soul Summoning Skill increased by 10, now level 30.]

[Lurking Spider (Level 8, Summoned Creature): Experience (0/900), Attack 9, Defense 11, Life 45, Skills: Drilling, Camouflage, Devour Attack, Poison Attack.]
