CHAPTER 308: CHAPTER 306: LOOTING THE BATTLEFIELD

Gu Xi glanced at the battlefield and noticed it was still under control, so he curiously asked a question.

"What’s that?"

"Corpse Charm Demon. Don’t say I don’t look out for you, buddy. This is some good stuff." Gao Ta winked at Gu Xi, "Unlike the Enchanting Demon that drains you, the Corpse Charm Demon actually replenishes Yin Qi.

The key is that it can be tweaked a bit by an Undead Mage."

Saying this, Gao Ta gestured at Gu Xi again, with that look clearly saying, "You know what I mean."

Gu Xi covered his nose and gave an awkward smile.

"I’m not that kind of person."

He said, pointing downward.

Gao Ta blinked and looked again at the steel city gate beneath them. He instantly understood something, and with a snicker, an undead that had just been summoned soon slipped into Yalidu City through the steel city gate.

After this small maneuver, Gu Xi and Gao Ta’s cooperation became even more seamless.

They laughed and joked on top of the gate tower while the Undead Corps below fought more smoothly.

Just as Gao Ta mentioned, the undead he summoned were of levels higher than those of Gu Xi’s cannon fodder undead.

Although they were without command, the undead’s battle instincts allowed them to quickly integrate into the fight.

With their participation, the attacking Demon Corps quickly fell apart, and even the efforts of the Demon Players couldn’t boost the morale of the demons.

At most, they fought the undead by the demons’ instinct, but without reinforcements, no matter how many they killed, it was futile.

Wave after wave of new undead joined the battle, and finally the number of undead on the battlefield began to exceed that of the demons and the enchanting demons.

The dawn of victory was in sight.

After releasing a few more Bone Storms, Gu Xi glanced back at Gao Ta and saw him popping a black pill into his mouth.

Gu Xi couldn’t help asking, "What are you eating?"

"Fish Dragon Pill, for regenerating mana. One pill boosts mana recovery speed by 50%. As long as you don’t overdraw, you can usually fully recover in a minute, and the effect lasts for five minutes."

Saying this, Gao Ta left it at that.

But the implication in his words was clear to Gu Xi; this Fish Dragon Pill was probably the best option for players who like to rapidly drain their mana in a short time.

However, Gu Xi noticed a problem and curiously asked, "Gao Ta, do you consume more mana than others when summoning?"

"You noticed that? This is a little trick I learned in the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon training course. Using more mana can have certain effects on summoning.

While the success rate and mutation probability don’t change, the quality of the summoned undead can be somewhat different."

No wonder.

Gu Xi glanced at the undead that had just been summoned, and although there was no data to compare, the undead summoned by Gao Ta were visibly larger than the ones under Gu Xi’s command.

Especially the zombies, whose bodies lacked obvious rotten flesh.

With this in mind, Gu Xi focused his mind and pointed at the battlefield.

"Bone Storm!"

This time, Gu Xi secretly injected more mana into it.

Then Gu Xi closely watched the effects of the Bone Storm.

He found that with more mana injected, there was little change in the range or the attack effects.

However, the rotation speed had noticeably increased.

Originally, it might only attack an enemy ten to fifteen times, but now with increased speed, it could strike thirty times.

This kind of mana control seemed to be effective for all spells and skills.

This discovery made Gu Xi’s eyes shine. If not for Gao Ta by his side, Gu Xi would have tried using this technique on all his skills to see their effects.

Just then, a boom resounded from the distance.

A meteor engulfed in green flames descended from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground, and then a massive Stone Giant formed from many green stones crawled out from the earth.

Hellfire?

Upon seeing the situation over there, Gu Xi immediately thought of a troop type of the Demon Sorcerer.

This was considered a non-training troop under the Demon Sorcerer category, belonging to the Summoned Corps.

The level starts at Level 7 and boasts the combat power to challenge land Behemoths. Of course, the most distinctive feature of this Hellfire is that its level follows the level of the Demon Sorcerer.

It’s a bit like Gu Xi’s Death Incarnation, but Gu Xi believes the level bonus of Hellfire can’t match the Death Incarnation. Otherwise, it would be one of the Three Divine Skills of the Demon Sorcerer instead of something any player can summon.

Yet again, another meteor descended from the sky, and a new Hellfire began to crawl out from underground.

After three Hellfires emerged on the battlefield, the Demon Sorcerers finally stopped summoning more of this troop.

Gao Ta, however, was thrilled, "Gu Xi, look over there, there’s a Hellfire. We’ve hit the jackpot this time. Don’t attack yet; I’m calling Liu Fei over."

Liu Fei was another undead mage player responsible for summoning, focusing on undead research.

Some information flashed across Gu Xi’s mind: Demon Sorcerers needed a Hellfire Heart Core to summon Hellfire, and if the thing was destroyed, it could be used to craft a Bone Dragon Core.

"Gao Ta, hold on. There are three here; I want one."

Understanding what was at stake, Gu Xi decisively declared.

As he released a Bone Fish Dragon, Gao Ta turned to look at Gu Xi.

"I say, buddy, can’t you give a guy a chance to catch a break? I don’t ever get the upper hand with you around."

"Hehe, can’t help it, my brain works fast."

Gu Xi replied with a smile. Having talked with Gao Ta this long, he understood Gao Ta’s personality, and this reaction indicated he had agreed to Gu Xi’s request.

Soon, Liu Fei received the message and hurried over.

"It really is Hellfire. A Demon Sorcerer can only control one at a time, but the Hellfire Core can be reused. If the owner maintains it well, the core will strengthen with repeated use.

Now there are three here; we’ll need to process them quickly once the Hellfire is extinguished, which I need to handle.

Gu Xi, do you have a way to get me to the front lines?"

Gu Xi thought for a moment, then looked back at the situation behind him and calmly asked, "By when?"

"Within three minutes after killing a Hellfire—this is the latest. If it takes longer, it becomes troublesome."

Gu Xi thought again, comparing the current position of the Hellfire with its surrounding enemies, and finally said, "I do, I can deploy the city gate over there."
