Chapter 179: The Invaded Undead Scourge Array
Under the city gate tower, at the platform where the token was placed, Gu Xi was using various methods he knew to stimulate the token in front of him.
"React, give me a response, damn it, there's not even a contact method. How can I call for help when something happens?"
Fortunately, after about three minutes of Gu Xi stimulating the token, the white light on the token flashed again.
The voice of the mage leader came from behind the token.
"Comrade Gu, please do not tamper with the array token at this time. Do you know the consequences of moving the token while the array is operating?
I know it's dangerous over there, and I know you haven't received your reward for this victory.
But we are already trying to make up for it. If you keep this up, your supply of negative energy will be cut off.
Think about it clearly."
"Mage leader, I have discovered something here.
I have been fighting the ghouls outside the undead ritual array and can ensure that no ghouls have entered the undead ritual array, but while cleaning up the battlefield, I found a dismantled array base.
I can confirm it is a newly generated array base and part of the undead scourge ritual array.
It still carries some negative energy, which is why my men discovered it while cleaning up the battlefield."
Hearing this, the mage leader behind the token fell silent.
He did not doubt why Gu Xi could recognize the base of the undead scourge array.
This thing is taught in the academy. As the most powerful technique of a necromancer, setting up one's own undead scourge array is the ultimate dream of every necromancer.
The school has taught everything that can be taught.
Any necromancer can recognize the base of the undead scourge array at a glance.
If Gu Xi didn't mistake it, could there really be a problem?
The mage leader couldn't guarantee it either.
Finally, he asked through the token: "There is a string of numbers written on the base, read that string of numbers."
"457726228."
Gu Xi, holding a stone that looked like a boundary marker, carefully read the numbers on it.
Before Gu Xi finished reading, the mage leader interrupted him.
"Okay, stop reading. Wait for me, I will activate the undead scourge array. You should know the array node layout, right?"
"I have studied it."
Gu Xi quickly replied.
"This base was moved out, but the array can still be used, which means other bases have filled in. When I activate the array, you check which one has the problem."
As soon as the mage leader finished speaking, the token flashed white, and a black magic array pattern appeared at the position Gu Xi was guarding.
Gu Xi had seen this magic array pattern in the previous battles.
However, Gu Xi did not pay much attention to this magic array at the beginning.
After all, this is not his undead scourge array.
Any changes or details have nothing to do with him.
But now it was different. Gu Xi carefully checked the magic array pattern.
Every node change and turn fell into Gu Xi's eyes.
At each node position, there was such a base, some buried long ago, some generated after setting up the undead scourge array, like the platform for storing tokens.
But no matter what, each base had a number.
And they were all within the range of the number on the stolen base.
Gu Xi could tell at a glance whether these bases were real or fake.
At the same time, he quickly found that the negative energy was not flowing smoothly at the edge of the undead scourge array.
If Gu Xi had noticed this earlier, he might not have paid much attention, thinking it was due to the array being too far from the core position, and details not being handled well.
But with the base being moved out, Gu Xi seriously checked it.
He found that at the node positions, there were also bases, but the bases did not have the corresponding numbers, instead, they had a clown's smiling face.
"Mage leader, I found a total of four fake bases with a clown's face carved on them."
"A clown's face? Wait, I will ask other node players to check."
The next thing did not require the mage leader's command.
The conversation through the token was heard by the entire undead scourge array.
No orders were needed; the players guarding the nodes checked on their own.
They didn't want any problems at this time.
After all, according to the mage leader, as long as they repelled another wave of ghoul attacks, they would be victorious.
If the undead scourge array had a problem now, causing them to lose their previous achievements, it would be a huge loss.
At this time, Gu Xi was also considering how to handle the three or four fake array bases.
Digging out this thing was relatively simple, just find a few skeleton soldiers to do it.
But after digging it out, what should be used to replace it?
At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly felt the ground shaking, and a few new skeletons crawled out from the ground.
This puzzled Gu Xi.
Because the damaged units in the battle outside had been replenished when they returned to the undead scourge array.
The corpses brought in had also been affected by the undead scourge array and transformed.
What were these skeletons coming out for?
Before Gu Xi could ask, the mage leader's voice came from the token again.
"Comrade Gu, I have sent you four bases you are missing. You handle it first, I have to deal with other node problems. Fortunately, you discovered the base problem first.
Otherwise, our final battle would have been for someone else."
After finishing, the mage leader did not contact Gu Xi again, and started giving orders by himself.
Gu Xi could hear the mage leader's orders from the token, but these orders had nothing to do with his node.
After listening for a while, Gu Xi started doing his own things.
Filling the base gaps, arranging the newly replenished undead units.
Finally, sending all the gargoyles out to scout the situation outside.
Although the mage leader could confirm the appearance time of the ghoul units.
The appearance time of the ghouls at Gu Xi's side was always uncertain.
In Gu Xi's view, it was better to grasp the ghouls' movements himself.
After sending out the gargoyles, Gu Xi did not idle.
The materials piled up in front of the city gate now had to be transported back to Aridowei city.
At first, with Luna's help, Gu Xi didn't feel much.
After Luna left, Gu Xi realized that dealing with these things was quite troublesome.
