Chapter 706 704: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
"My lord!"
Upon exiting the Garrison Gate, Gu Xi met with Mido.
After Gu Xi made a decision, the Steel City Gate was fixed in a certain position, serving as a point for other heroes to locate.
It only moves a bit when the frontline advances, almost never moving otherwise.
The Main City Gate followed Gu Xi around, going wherever he went, primarily ensuring that Gu Xi could always communicate with Yalidu City and convey new orders, as well as to ensure he knew his final location of action.
Only the Garrison Gate was nailed here from the start, never moving.
As he exited the Garrison Gate's location, Gu Xi looked at Mido and solemnly asked,
"How are things going?"
"The Corpse-Transforming Worms searched along the edge of the rock wall, trying many places, and finally found a spot to dig downwards. I followed to plot the course; the location is absolutely correct.
We've reached the end; we just need to dig upwards a bit more to enter the underground space hidden behind the rock wall.
But there's something we can't determine, which is whether this space has other passages.
If it does, our digging noise might be too loud and alert the enemies inside."
"You thought it through very well."
Gu Xi nodded affirmatively at Mido's thoughts.
Gu Xi knew Mido's situation was different from other heroes.
For other heroes, if the enemies ran, they just ran. If this underground space didn't work out, they could chase them down in another.
But for Mido, it wasn't the same.
Gu Xi and his team came this time, believing there were other enemies in this underground space.
If the enemy behind them escapes, their efforts will be in vain.
However, Gu Xi calmed Mido, releasing the Spirit Lamp's Equipment Carrier, placing his hand on the Equipment Carrier's shoulder, and monitoring their initial target.
The line still intermittently fell on the previous spot.
The Equipment Carrier's judgment was correct; the enemy was still at the original position.
As for why they were still there, Gu Xi didn't care at all.
He only needed to concern himself with whether he could find what he wanted.
"Let's go."
Without hesitation, Gu Xi made a decisive decision.
Upon hearing this, Mido led Gu Xi down the freshly dug passage.
Unlike Dali, Mido always stayed by Gu Xi's side.
While moving forward, Mido continued to brief him on the situation.
"Earlier, we dug along this line, but it was quite apparently wrong halfway through; you saw it too, my lord.
The direction had already veered off.
But this place is clearly rock wall foundation.
From here, digging further would only make it worse, veering more severely.
So we simply retreated, starting again from where we hadn't taken a wrong turn. Though it took us a bit further and wasted some time, this time, there were no problems."
Mido explained while leading Gu Xi toward the correct path.
The underground passage was clearly just freshly dug, with no lighting along the way.
Mido seemed able to see, moving forward effortlessly.
When a turn was needed, Mido would also detail it to Gu Xi.
After walking for about seventeen to eighteen minutes, Mido finally stopped.
Gu Xi noticed two stopped Corpse-Transforming Worms in front of him.
The lines seen by the Equipment Carrier were not far from here.
Gu Xi nodded.
"This is the place. Dig upwards!"
Hearing this, the Corpse-Transforming Worms swiftly started moving, digging upwards along the freshly dug wall.
Meanwhile, Gu Xi silently switched to the Power of the Mind state, preparing his Virtual Mana.
This time around, all three city gates had precise positions; Gu Xi wouldn't deploy them casually until encountering formidable foes.
The large Undead that originally followed Gu Xi, whether White Bone Titan or Ghost Dragon, couldn't enter.
Currently, only the Bone Armor Centipede and Isabella could follow Gu Xi inside.
Although Gu Xi was quite confident that there was no one in this world who could harm him,
he was not someone who would blindly step into dangerous situations. He was well aware of the saying 'a wise man doesn't stand under a dangerous wall.'
During battles, he would charge forward when necessary.
But he would never be caught off guard by a careless mistake under unforeseen circumstances.
Immediately, Gu Xi had prepared his Death Incarnation.
If any problem occurred, Death Incarnation would be unleashed at once.
Just as Gu Xi finished preparing, the Corpse-Transforming Worms broke through the last layer of ground, and Gu Xi heard a clattering sound from above, as if something was about to fall down.
"Death Incarnation!"
Gu Xi decisively pointed in the direction of the sound coming from above.
Within the black fog, the Death Incarnation charged upward.
This time, Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon had changed again; its entire body turned bright bronze. Within the black fog, it was clear to see many blue glowing internal organ shadows beneath the Bone Dragon's framework.
At the same time, within the black fog, there were crystalline specks flickering like dust, along with some red sparks.
This was the result of Death Incarnation's efforts over the past three days.
Don't assume these three days were simply beneficial for the Ghost Dragon and Bone Armor Centipede.
Actually, as Gu Xi's Death Incarnation, during the ore vein core's absorption, Death Incarnation also participated.
However, they were more selective, consuming only good valuables.
After all, the ore vein core had already been confirmed by the Ghost Dragon and Bone Armor Centipede.
Gu Xi naturally wouldn't deny his Death Incarnation the chance.
The results proved Gu Xi correct.
After consuming the ore vein core, Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon developed these internal organs.
With the existence of these organs, Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon could spew Death Dragon Breath for about a minute.
Additionally, with the skeleton turning bright bronze, the black fog around Death Incarnation could now attach two add-ons simultaneously, instead of just one.
The final change was for the Death Incarnation's Ghost Realm Battlefield.
Currently, Gu Xi hadn't had a chance to reinforce the Ghost Realm Battlefield, so the effect hadn't shown, but it didn't mean Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon hadn't experienced changes in this area.
The same applied to Death Incarnation - Death God, whose changes were even more apparent. A new pair of arms grew in position behind its rear arm.
The arms were now holding onto Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon, charging upwards together!
