Chapter 1296: Chapter 1294: Clearing the Battlefield

Rumble!

Gu Xi didn’t expect that the means of attack from the Death Titan would be like this.

Over ten thousand bolts of Evil Qi Thunder gathered in the air, and then transformed into streaks of lightning that fell to the ground.

From where Gu Xi stood, these lightning bolts weren’t particularly thick, but they covered a large area, encapsulating most of the wild beasts below that were running wildly.

But for those beasts, this was quite a deadly affair.

Each lightning bolt had the thickness of a normal person’s thigh, as they struck these beasts, they instantly charred their bodies to a blackened hue.

As the lightning ceased, this wave of beasts had almost all perished.

The rest of the task didn’t even require the Death Titan to take action; the nearby scattered Undead lunged forward, charging at the beasts that hadn’t yet been killed.

It was clear that this wave of beast assault was nearly over.

Yet Gu Xi wasn’t in a rush to let his mind wander; he kept his gaze fixed on the spot where the beasts died.

He wanted to see if the explosion earlier was accidental or had a reason behind it.

When the Undead finished off the last beast, no accidental occurrences took place.

This finally allowed Gu Xi to breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, no accidents happened, so Gu Xi could instruct the troops to clean up the battlefield.

"Start cleaning the battlefield, send the corpses to the back, clear the battlefield, and make sure these bodies don’t affect the next battle."

With Gu Xi’s command, the newly trained transportation team finally played its intended role.

Charging from the Main City Gate towards the battlefield, a distance of about over eight thousand meters.

At the speed of Gu Xi’s Underlings, it took about fifteen minutes to complete.

This was actually considered fast, as five hundred meters per minute is a normal person’s speed, and the Undead can keep running indefinitely.

When they reached the center of the battlefield, they took less than five minutes to clear it up, and then with their spoils of this time, charged back towards the Main City Gate.

To ensure the smooth progress of subsequent battles, this cleanup of the battlefield did not involve removing the blood-stained dirt.

During their retreat, this transport team felt somewhat regretful.

In their initial training, they had a mode of training whereby they transported all the soil.

This was to address the regret Gu Xi had when he captured Death City but couldn’t fully remove the black ash from the foundations.

For this reason, Gu Xi’s transportation team had mastered various functions for digging and transporting soil.

Gu Xi was confident that next time he encounters such situations, he won’t let the foundations of Death City go to waste.

This time was supposed to be an opportunity for the transport team to shine, but to ensure subsequent battles, the soil wasn’t removed.

This caused some dissatisfaction among the Undead in the transport team.

However, regardless of their discontent, they returned to the Main City Gate in the shortest time possible.

Once they left their transported goods behind, Gu Xi had already stepped into another battle.

By this time, in the Nidans’ Game World, the third wave of beasts had arrived.

This wave of beasts consisted of slower-moving species, unsuitable for long-range raids.

Here, Gu Xi saw creatures like hippos, buffaloes, elephants, and the likes, also lions and tigers.

Of course, these large beasts were significantly fewer in number.

Moreover, their levels weren’t strong, with each averaging levels between 2 and 4, but even these beasts couldn’t compare to Gu Xi’s cannon fodder, let alone pose any threat.

Under a single wave of Evil Qi Thunder from Death Titan, even the following cleanup by the Undead didn’t take long, wiping out the third wave of beasts.

Looking at the spoils before him, Gu Xi was quite pleased.

Regardless of the levels of these beasts, upon their death, Yalidu City would gain some new Undead.

Even if the newly added Undead couldn’t immediately become a regular part of Gu Xi’s army, or serve as skirmishers or ragtag troops.

Their introduction, however, enriched Yalidu City’s ecological system.

Many small tasks could rightly be assigned to them, and they could be placed outdoors, weaving a safety net ensuring no unwanted entities could infiltrate Yalidu City’s controlled zone.

Some of the larger Undead beasts could be used for transportation.

And some could even serve as mounts, since Gu Xi’s legions of heroes scarcely had mounts.

Now with an increasing number of heroes, Gu Xi naturally had to consider the matter of hero mounts.

Just as Gu Xi was happily harvesting and prepared the returning transportation team from Yalidu City to be deployed again, a cube-like object flew before him.

"Junior Brother, just received the news, the connection between the two worlds is now stable, we can proceed to the enemy’s world."

It’s stabilized?

Gu Xi raised his head to look at the distant dust clouds.

According to Gu Xi’s judgement, at least one more wave of beasts was expected.

How did such news come suddenly?

But now Gu Xi adhered to his own rhythm.

He wouldn’t rush to deploy troops into the enemy’s Game World just because someone claimed stability here.

Gu Xi pondered, then raised his hand to send the Garrison Gate forward, and maneuvered the Undead Corps to bypass the collision and fusion point of the two worlds.

The order to all Undead was simple.

Move to the Garrison Gate, prevent the fourth wave of beasts from approaching.

As for the timing, it’s still uncertain.

Now, Gu Xi needed to sort out the elements around the junction of the two worlds.

Previously, Gu Xi had unearthed crystals here, indicating many valuable items beneath.

With Gu Xi’s personality, if not for the ongoing battle, he would’ve had all the soil transported back to Yalidu City long ago.

Why wait until now?

This time, news from Su Zhux said the connection between the worlds had stabilized.

Thus Gu Xi naturally took initiative to excavate the good items here.

However, just as Gu Xi commanded the excavation at the connection ground, Xiang Xiang hurried over.

Upon seeing Gu Xi’s action, he loudly remarked, "Junior Brother, don’t act recklessly."

Gu Xi glanced at Xiang Xiang, the only Senior Brother who was of a lower level than Gu Xi.

He had reached Level 10 long ago, yet due to various reasons, didn’t upgrade; even after being admitted to Gong Lingyu’s graduate program last year, he didn’t act rashly.

He was simultaneously the most steadfast member of the Reading Society.

Gu Xi didn’t expect him to suddenly appear here.

At this moment, Gu Xi asked curiously, "Senior Brother Xiang, what’s the matter?"
