Chapter 204: The Troubled Victoria City
Looking at the detailed description of the [Blood Pit Land Contract], Gu Xi sighed deeply.
Just when Song Yumo thought Gu Xi was dissatisfied, Gu Xi proactively said,
"Deal!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Song Yumo's face.
Then he turned around and handed the Ghost Immortal Hand and Ghost Face Skin to the Death Knight who had just arrived.
At this moment, Liu Kai also looked at Gu Xi and asked, "Do you need me to escort you back?"
"No need."
Gu Xi said confidently. Behind him, a city gate appeared. Without even turning around, Gu Xi took a step back and returned to Aridowei City.
As the gate of Aridowei City disappeared, Liu Kai and Song Yumo sighed.
"Three Divine Skills truly live up to their name."
"Indeed! He can leave whenever he wants and can mobilize a large number of troops at any time. Usually, it seems like he's alone, but no one knows how many soldiers he has behind him."
While Liu Kai and Song Yumo were discussing Gu Xi, Gu Xi had already arrived in front of the council hall of Aridowei City.
At this moment, the tall figure of Dimi was elegantly sitting on the steps in front of the council hall. Since there was no one around, she straightforwardly took off her shoes, and her feet in black stockings were propped up on the steps.
Seeing Gu Xi enter, Dimi tilted her head and looked at him, asking curiously,
"Lord of the City, why do I smell poison blood on you?"
"I just got a building for vampires."
Dimi needed vampires, but her path was the ghost house route, where vampires could actively transform into bats and fly. In battle, they not only restored their combat power by sucking blood but could also revive fallen comrades.
This was completely different from the vampire route of the blood pit land contract Gu Xi had just obtained.
Although there was no direct conflict, the relationship between them was not good. Meeting each other usually involved mutual mockery.
As soon as Dimi opened her mouth, her attitude was clearly sarcastic.
Hearing that Gu Xi got a set of vampire buildings, Dimi was about to say something.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xi directly asked,
"Where is Luna? Hasn't she returned yet?"
"No, with Luna gone, there's no one to talk to in the city. Otherwise, why would I be sitting here waiting?"
Hearing this, Gu Xi frowned. Several days had passed, and she hadn't returned yet. Could something have happened in Victoria City?
Thinking of this, Gu Xi couldn't help but feel nervous.
Luna mustn't get into trouble.
"Move aside."
At this moment, Gu Xi couldn't care about anything else. He turned and headed toward the owl tower.
Dimi was stunned for a moment, filled with curiosity. She tiptoed, not even wearing shoes, and followed Gu Xi.
As Gu Xi walked, he blew the Undead Transfer Horn, and one undead unit after another appeared behind him.
First to appear were Gu Xi's original undead troops.
Combat Squad 2, Bone-Splitting Battalion, Skeleton Archer Unit, Gargoyles, Ghosts, Skeleton Mages, Corpse Poison Flies, and the skeletons that crawled out under the influence of the Undead Scourge Formation.
One unit after another, having fled to the Undead Scourge Formation, reappeared beside Gu Xi under the Undead Transfer Horn.
The number of these troops couldn't compare to Gu Xi's peak period.
But seeing them gave Gu Xi a sense of familiarity and closeness.
"Don't follow me. Go to the city gate and move the various supplies sent earlier to the dock warehouse. Send the building design drawings outside the council hall. Sort the weapons and equipment I bought, and I'll arrange them later."
At Gu Xi's command, the undead quickly left.
Suddenly, the originally empty Aridowei City became bustling again.
The last two units to appear were a thousand zombie ax-shield soldiers and two thousand skeleton spearmen, along with six undead leaders.
After appearing, these three thousand troops stood directly in front of Gu Xi, awaiting his orders.
Glancing at the three thousand undead troops, Gu Xi found their situation similar to his recruitment of undead.
However, they all seemed identical, from the undead leaders to the soldiers. No differences in weapons, equipment, attack power, or vitality.
Standing in front of them, Gu Xi could clearly see that only the six undead leaders had more lively eyes.
Additionally, these six undead leaders were identical.
No individuality, not even height differences.
Compared to Gu Xi's subordinates, who had experienced numerous battles, they looked cleaner, with no battle scars.
A group of high-level rookies.
With just one look, Gu Xi made some judgments about them.
Regardless, their numbers were at least guaranteed.
Gu Xi pointed at the busy undead moving supplies and said,
"Help them handle my loot. Move everything to the dock warehouse. After dealing with the matters, wait for me at the city gate."
After arranging these three thousand soldiers, Gu Xi also stopped.
He had arrived at the owl tower.
A few owls were perched on the tower, looking at Gu Xi, but none flew down.
Gu Xi didn't enter the tower. He quickly wrote a letter and pointed at one of the owls.
The owl then landed in Gu Xi's hand.
"Deliver this letter to Luna."
Gu Xi tied the letter to the owl's leg while considering whether to ask the guild for some ravens after leaving this world.
Seeing Liu Kai use ravens, those ravens were clearly smarter than these owls.
Sometimes, just a few words were enough for the ravens to find people, unlike these owls, which seemed a bit dumb.
While Gu Xi was internally complaining about the owls, several owls simultaneously took off. They followed the owl carrying the letter and quickly disappeared from Gu Xi's sight.
Seeing this, Gu Xi's heart tightened.
He suddenly understood the situation.
Victoria City might indeed be in trouble.
At this moment, Gu Xi couldn't care about anything else. He leaped onto the evil coffin that had been following him and turned toward the contact house in Aridowei City, intending to travel to Victoria City through the hearthstone.
