Chapter 181: The Invaded Amusement Park
"Death Incarnate."
Seeing the clown pirates about to jump down from the pirate ship, Gu Xi immediately gave the order.
However, he quickly changed his mind, "No, skeleton archers, skeleton mages, attack them with saturation when they jump down."
Under Gu Xi's command, the skeleton archer leader raised its bow, demonstrating to all the skeleton archers.
At the same time, the skeleton mages raised their hands towards the sky as instructed by Gu Xi.
At this moment, the pirate ship reached the highest point at the rear. The clown captain at the bow hooked the iron hook onto the ship's figurehead, pointing at the position Gu Xi was guarding and shouting loudly.
As the pirate ship reached its peak, they paused momentarily before rushing towards the position Gu Xi was guarding with a whoosh.
This time, the pirate ship clearly dipped downwards. From the angle and arc of the pirate ship's impact, it seemed the bottom of the ship would scrape past the battle flag on Gu Xi's gate tower.
As they descended, more than a thousand clown pirates prepared to jump.
As the pirate ship entered the area Gu Xi was guarding, they decisively leaped.
The moment they jumped, the skeleton archer leader released its arrow, followed by all the skeleton archers locking onto a clown pirate and shooting an arrow at them.
Following this rain of arrows was an attack from the skeleton mages.
The 500 skeleton mages here simultaneously cast their spells.
The skeleton mages sent by the mage leader were all basic entities; none of them were skilled enough to use area magic like poison cloud spells.
They could only use fireball, ice arrow, lightning bolt, and poison gas bomb spells.
Gu Xi didn't care what spells they could use. In this situation, he just had them aim at the sky.
The clown pirates jumping down were the easiest targets to attack.
Although they guarded their bodies with pirate scimitars while descending, they couldn't change their direction mid-air as they couldn't fly.
All they could do was jump at the lowest point of the pirate ship, rushing into the position Gu Xi was guarding as quickly as possible.
As for what they would encounter mid-air, they couldn't care less.
It only took a few seconds to fall from about fifty meters.
However, many clown pirates couldn't even survive these few seconds.
As they jumped from the pirate ship, arrows from the skeleton archers and various spells from the skeleton mages, though not precise, covered the area where the pirates were landing.
At least six hundred clown pirates were killed on the spot.
When the remaining clown pirates landed, they were quickly surrounded by Gu Xi's undead.
Due to differences in weapons and training, these undead didn't cooperate as seamlessly as the last batch.
They could only cooperate on a small scale, especially the newly transformed undead, who had no weapons and simply pounced on the clown pirates, ready to attack with their bones or teeth.
At this time, Gu Xi stepped onto the evil coffin and stood at the top of the gate tower.
Gu Xi focused on the pirate ship charging towards him, his eyes fixed on the pirate leader at the bow. He understood that the clown pirates jumping off the ship were not the real threat; the true core was this pirate leader.
There was only one chance to defeat him.
"Bone Spear!"
When the pirate ship was within fifty meters, Gu Xi made his move.
He cast a bone spear, aiming directly at the pirate leader on the ship.
The pirate leader hooked his left hand onto the figurehead, drew his scimitar with his right hand, and slashed at the bone spear.
Under the pirate leader's attack, the bone spear shattered.
Just as the pirate leader grinned, intending to mock Gu Xi, he realized his right hand was frozen.
The icy power spread through his arm into his body.
Simultaneously, Gu Xi launched several more bone spears.
Facing such an attack, the pirate leader had no choice but to react.
Before crashing into Gu Xi's gate, the pirate ship ascended, its bottom scraping past Gu Xi's battle flag.
The bone spears Gu Xi launched all struck the ship's bottom, none hitting the pirate leader.
The pirate leader was pleased with this outcome. Looking back at the reappearing clown pirates on the ship, he believed that with a few more attempts, he could capture this place.
Then, he could receive further rewards from his master.
However, the pirate leader felt a powerful creature staring at him from behind.
Could it be that troublesome metal bone dragon sneaking up?
Wasn't someone supposed to handle that bone dragon?
How could it possibly be jumping up to disrupt his plans?
The pirate leader quickly turned around, but what he saw wasn't Death Incarnate; it was a green pea shooter resembling a cannon.
Gu Xi had thrown the pea shooter onto the ship while casting bone spears.
He had hoped this small trick could at least stall the enemy.
Even if it couldn't kill the enemy, it shouldn't let the enemy off easily.
But what he didn't expect was that the pea shooter he threw out, initially just a seed, transformed upon landing on the pirate ship.
The gigantic pea shooter, like a cannon, locked onto the pirate leader. Before the pirate leader could react, it bombarded him.
This time, Gu Xi was purely lucky.
He threw the pea shooter onto the spot where the ship's bow cannon was originally located.
The cannon had an enhancement effect, increasing the cannon's power by 50.
This didn't add much to the ship's cannon.
But for Gu Xi's pea shooter, intended to stall the enemy, it was an enormous boost.
The original pea shooter had an attack power of only 5, with 30 rounds of ammunition. Now, its power increased tenfold.
With 55 damage per shot and 30 rounds, over a thousand health points could be wiped out in no time.
This was why the pirate leader felt a powerful creature staring at him.
But he no longer had time to think. As the pirate leader tried to leap away, the pea shooter's barrel adjusted, and a pea the size of a head shot out, hitting the pirate leader with a boom, slamming him into the deck.
Then, thirty rounds of ammunition rained down, turning the pirate leader into a bloody pulp.
