Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 992: Chapter 990: The Stowed Remnant

As the Ghost Dragon appeared, Gu Xi felt a warmth enveloping his entire body.

It was like a surge of vitality coursing through him.

This sensation was akin to when Gu Xi drank a large cup of the Fire of Life previously.

This time, Gu Xi was already quite familiar with this feeling; faced with the enhanced life force, his expression remained impassive.

He simply turned and glanced at the Ghost Dragon, then gestured towards it.

The Ghost Dragon dove underground, pulling out several dry roots from below.

This was the last remnants of the Ancient Tree Spirit.

Gu Xi gave Elder Gu Long and the others no chance at all, reaching out to pick up those roots.

Seeing this, Elder Gu Long had nothing to say; he simply nodded towards the other Bone Dragons, signaling them to quickly bring the other remnants of the Ancient Tree Spirit.

At this moment, Gu Xi turned to look at the tree node that had just been lured away by dinosaur flesh.

”Do you still want those things?”

In response to Gu Xi’s question, Elder Gu Long chuckled.

”Don’t worry, we’re not that stingy. We have plenty of those things; if you want them, take them.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi nodded.

Then, behind him, there appeared a city gate.

This was a gate that had never appeared before, composed entirely of large and small trees, with a moat of pine needles outside. It looked innocuous, but beneath the pine needles lay hidden dangers.

During the month spent defending the territory near Jiaolong Blood Castle in the game, the development of Yalidu City didn’t cease. In fact, thanks to the various Architectural Design Plans obtained from Liu Yingguang, the upgrade speed was significantly enhanced.

Among these design plans, the most important were the plans for various city gates.

Liu Yingguang might have discovered some of Gu Xi’s ideas when sending the design plans, because all he sent were city gates with different attributes.

Upon receiving these gates, Gu Xi immediately instructed Luna to commence large-scale construction in Yalidu City.

First, they built the city gates, walls, and moat.

Inside the city gates, four new gates were added, specifically located near the overlapping gates of Yalidu City from the Plantagenet Dynasty period.

These were specially built to counter the Mirror Image Rift.

Designed as main combat gates stronger than Steel City Gates.

This gate was evidently taller than Gu Xi’s Main City Gate; without mentioning other aspects, just the fact that the gate was divided into front and rear gates with an inner gate requiring three turns, preventing a direct view into the city, demonstrated the effectiveness of this gate.

Outside the gate were ground thorns, external fortress-style defensive towers, arrow towers atop the walls, flying points for the Flying Team, and more.

If one had to describe the style of this city gate, it closely resembled the fortified front gates of an upgraded Orgrimmar.

The Magic District boasted a set of magical gates, their style fully imbued with magic, walls adorned with various runes, and the arrow towers relying mainly on magic towers.

Outside the gates lay a moat that appeared quite tranquil; but if anyone underestimated this moat, they would face dire consequences.

Additionally, with the Magic Plant District relocated, the Garrison Gate genuinely started to garrison troops, and a new gate was constructed at the new Magic Plant District.

The gate was the Tree Peak City Gate, constructed from trees, perfectly matching the style of the Magic Plant District.

The last new gate was near the Gate of the Underworld in the Market District, used to separate the Gate of the Underworld from the market.

This was a major traffic route, with the gate being relatively sizable and featuring several side gates; even if one side gate got blocked, the others could still be used.

This time, Gu Xi deployed the Tree Peak City Gate.

As the gate appeared, a mass of green plants appeared at Gu Xi’s feet, a natural aura devoid of any connection to the undead gushed forth from behind the gate.

Upon witnessing this, Elder Gu Long couldn’t help but think: This is bad, they’ve rewarded him with something dear to his heart.

When they initially agreed to give Gu Xi the Ancient Tree Spirit Remains, they considered the fact that Gu Xi was an Undead Mage.

The conflict with the natural aura meant that even if Gu Xi obtained the remains, he might not be able to make use of them.

But given the current situation, Gu Xi clearly had a garden of his own.

He’s going to consume all the scraps.

Gu Xi had no time to concern himself with other matters; he merely raised his hand, summoning a batch of undead from the Tree Peak City Gate.

They rushed towards the tree growths placed near the platform, pulling them all back.

Originally, the tree node was used to seal some powerful presence.

Yet, in Gu Xi’s hands, things were different. His undead minions placed all the tree nodes on the walls outside the Tree Peak City Gate.

This caused faces resembling tree growths to appear along the walls outside the Tree Peak City Gate.

Once these tree nodes appeared on the walls, they would typically remain inactive, but anyone daring to climb the walls would have their flesh essence absorbed by the nodes.

Gu Xi was particularly pleased with this transformation.

The only dissatisfaction might be the insufficient quantity of tree nodes.

There were only about twenty on the walls, occupying only a portion, making it challenging to cover more space.

Now Gu Xi could only hope the other remnants of the Ancient Tree Spirit were sealed with tree nodes.

If so, Gu Xi could obtain some new tree nodes.

Soon, the remnants promised by Elder Gu Long were delivered.

Unlike the remnants Gu Xi had just processed, these were from the tree’s crown section.

Though the leaves and flowers were absent.

The branches were largely intact.

This made it apparent to Gu Xi the strange nature of these Ancient Tree Spirit Remains.

The surface of the tree branches was cratered, suggesting something once grew there, later excavated.

Additionally, some branches had been stripped of bark.

Exposing branch surfaces resembling muscle.

Before the Ancient Tree Spirit Remains hit the ground, Gu Xi already felt like he was staring at a pile of corpses.

This sensation was overwhelming, had Gu Xi not been immune to spiritual influences, he might have suspected his spirit was being tainted.

Even suppressing this nauseating feeling, Gu Xi still felt extremely discomforted.

For the first time since becoming an Undead Mage, he encountered such a situation.

This caused Gu Xi to frown slightly.

Meanwhile, the flames in Elder Gu Long’s eye sockets flickered slightly, as if witnessing something amusing.
