"Titan, Thunder Strike!"
Gu Xi, upon witnessing the situation, immediately issued an order to the rear.
At the same time, he raised the Illusion Magic Wand and cast the Flame Domain.
This time, Gu Xi’s Illusion Magic Wand was incredibly fortunate.
The Power of Curse not only quadrupled in effect but was accompanied by double casting.
The combined eightfold power of the Flame Domain descended upon the battlefield.
Instantly igniting the corpses on the battlefield.
Simultaneously, much of the black liquid was burned away in the flames.
At this moment, Death Incarnation-Titan and Bone Titan simultaneously threw lightning into the Flame Domain.
The Bone Titan’s Lightning Arrow was somewhat mediocre in power, but Death Incarnation-Titan’s lightning was quite formidable.
Earlier, the Two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon was taken down by his lightning.
Now, the lightning struck the black liquid again, scattering it instantly.
However, Gu Xi discovered that whether using fire or lightning, there was no way to completely eliminate the black liquid.
The black liquid seemed especially lively, attempting to regroup from the ground.
This situation left Gu Xi speechless; facing such circumstances, he truly didn’t know how to handle it.
His Flame Domain and Death Incarnation-Titan’s lightning seemed to only suppress the black liquid rather than completely resolve it.
Considering the situation, Gu Xi suddenly had an idea.
"Send a command to Eldest Princess Anna to bring over the Bone Locust and Bone-devouring Mud."
Gu Xi’s thought was simple; if suppression failed, then direct consumption was the answer.
The black liquid before them lacked intelligence, operating instinctively to congregate.
Furthermore, it exhibited some resistance to fire and lightning power.
Had Gu Xi not heard the reports of the Shadowy Cavalry’s demise, he would have suspected this substance as the Cavalry’s essence.
Later, he realized it had nothing to do with the Shadowy Cavalry; it was more related to mysterious and psychic forces.
Gu Xi consistently maintained immunity to psychic power, so he felt nothing, and as for his Undead Corps, they were not affected by psychic forces either, leaving them puzzled by the situation for a while.
After identifying the problem, Gu Xi tried collecting the black liquid, yet found it impossible to contain; any container touched by the black liquid quickly underwent mysterious changes.
Ultimately, Gu Xi decided to disregard it, opting instead to use fire and lightning to prevent the black liquid from escaping.
While Gu Xi was managing the black liquid, the battles in the other two directions were nearing completion.
After eliminating the Two-headed Shadow Giant Dragon to the south, the shadowy squads couldn’t withstand the attacks of Gu Xi’s main heroes, quickly falling to them.
At this moment, Gu Xi’s heroes exercised their initiative.
Without waiting for orders, they entered the southern district, rapidly occupying it.
However, in the western district, due to a lack of hero attention, despite having dealt with the shadowy squad, no one occupied the area, so it lingered unattended.
Gu Xi noticed the situation over there but was unable to divide his attention, leaving the matter unresolved.
Fortunately, Eldest Princess Anna received Gu Xi’s order and promptly dispatched the Bone Locust and Bone-devouring Mud.
Additionally, she sent over a batch of Undead ranging from Level 1 to Level 2.
If Gu Xi had just become an Undead Mage, these Undead would have served as soldiers.
However, now things were different; Gu Xi’s standards for soldiers had risen.
Without reaching Level 5, none would be included in the formal army.
Gu Xi raised standards, and the Undead Bosses did likewise.
Thus, all Undead below Level 4 were regarded as civilians.
These Level 1 and 2 Undead promptly began clearing the battlefield upon arrival, performing civilian tasks.
Gu Xi understood Eldest Princess Anna’s intent; bringing these Level 1 and 2 Undead was not just for battlefield cleanup but also to repopulate the district.
They were akin to migrating residents.
So, Gu Xi didn’t stop them but focused on the black liquid.
After releasing the Bone Locust and Bone-devouring Mud, Gu Xi retracted the Flame Domain.
He noticed the black liquid had some effect on the Bone Locust and Bone-devouring Mud.
Nevertheless, Gu Xi was unconcerned.
If the influence was minimal and digestible, then it was no issue.
If affected by the black liquid and indigestible, Gu Xi’s subordinates would eliminate the mutated Bone Locust and Bone-devouring Mud.
Then, in Yalidu City, Gu Xi’s Double Death would quickly yield new variants.
Initially, Gu Xi’s Bone Locust transformed into Evil Bone Locust in this way.
Now, Gu Xi applied the same method, creating a batch of Illusionary Locust.
[Illusionary Locust (Level 3): Attack 4, Defense 1, Life 1, Skills: Insect Swarm State, Devouring Everything, Champion Aura, Mysterious Transformation, Flying Team.]
The Illusionary Locust resembles Evil Bone Locust, with the sole difference lying in the mysterious transformation.
Gu Xi had them attempt using it and found that Illusionary Locust could merge three to five, growing larger or utilizing shadow force to sprout unique features.
For instance, eyes, mouthparts, wings, etc.
However, Gu Xi felt these mysterious transformations shouldn’t be like this; surely, there’s something else behind them.
Differing from the Bone Locust’s situation, there was minimal change with Bone-devouring Mud.
They could devour anything, and even the mysterious black liquid barely affected them; much of it was consumed by Bone-devouring Mud.
Yet, Gu Xi noticed that when Bone-devouring Mud consumed a certain amount of black liquid, they promptly sought soil or stones for neutralization.
Evidently, the black liquid slightly impacted them as well.
Nonetheless, they possessed methods for eliminating this effect and successfully digested the black liquid.
With the black liquid cleared, Gu Xi led his troops into the eastern district.
Then he finally had time to address matters in the other districts.
