”Bone Spike! Attack!”

As Gu Xi fired the first shot of the attack, his undead corps began to enter the range of the Tower Bridge.

Although these undead were not all led by an undead boss, Gu Xi had arranged their positions from the start.

The Bone-Slaying Camp charged at the front, followed by all the skeleton shooters led by the Skeleton Shooter Boss.

Combat Squad 1 and Combat Squad 2 were positioned a bit ahead of Gu Xi, with the remaining minions scattered at both ends, ready to charge together.

The zombies were right by Gu Xi’s Evil Coffin, not because Gu Xi didn’t want them to charge, but their movement speed was too slow to make a difference in the charge.

On the contrary, the ghosts immediately flew up, swooping down from the sky toward the deceitful shadows.

Their flying speed was quite fast. Even though the skeleton soldiers had started charging first, the ghosts were the first to reach the enemy.

There were quite a number of these ghosts. Originally, Gu Xi had obtained some from the academy, and combined with those that drifted during delivery, there were as many as 52.

Their strength was also quite high. Even the ghosts obtained from the academy started at Level 5, not to mention those that drifted, starting at Level 7.

Once these ghosts charged out, they immediately stirred up a thick gust of eerie wind. They didn’t even look for the Level 2 or 3 deceitful shadows in front but directly pounced on the deceitful shadow boss on the highest point of the bridge.

That deceitful shadow boss didn’t expect that someone could reach the spot where he was standing.

Initially, Gu Xi hit him with a bone spike attack that had an ice effect, yet it didn’t even give him time to react, and now these ghosts are attacking him.

This really doesn’t consider him as a boss at all.

So, what if your level is higher than mine, I am a BOSS template, with higher life, attack, and defense than you, how dare you.

The furious deceitful shadow boss shrieked at the top of the bridge, the black arms wrapped around his body unfolded instantly, revealing the truest part of his body.

It was only then that Gu Xi realized that the deceitful shadows could take any form. Previously there were those like centipedes and giant eyes, but this one looked like a tree.

It should be a big tree akin to a sensitive plant, normally curling itself up, and unfurling when needed, its size doubling.

After opening his arms, the deceitful shadow boss even reached out to grab the ghosts flying at him.

Such an action even made Gu Xi suspect this deceitful shadow boss might be brainless, unable to see that all the ghosts flying at him were stronger than him?

Still thinking about grabbing ghosts like this.

But the next moment, Gu Xi was stunned, as those outstretched arms actually caught the floating ghosts.

After catching the ghosts, this deceitful shadow boss relentlessly pulled the ghosts to himself, clearly intending to eat them.

”Damn it, Bone Spike! Focus fire!”

Seeing this, Gu Xi was rather speechless. He released Bone Spike while commanding the Skeleton Shooter Boss to focus fire.

The Skeleton Shooter Boss also saw the situation. Although he didn’t know what was happening with the deceitful shadow boss, under Gu Xi’s command, he had his men shoot all their arrows at the deceitful shadow boss.

But to Gu Xi’s astonishment, the deceitful shadow boss’s arms deftly blocked all the arrows.

And he didn’t even let go of the ghosts.

This situation left Gu Xi speechless. This was clearly not right, with such a difference in level and number, how could they be suppressed?

But Gu Xi had no time to deal with this matter now, as the deceitful shadow boss gained the upper hand, boosting the morale of the shadows below, and those Level 2 and 3 shadows charged at Gu Xi’s team on their own initiative.

”Ignore them, focus attack around that boss.”

Seeing the situation, Gu Xi made an assessment in his heart.

If Gu Xi moved all his forces to fend off the charging little shadows, the battle would end quickly, for the weakest skeleton soldiers under Gu Xi were at Level 3, and could fight shadows one-on-one.

But what if, the key right now is that deceitful shadow boss.

Gu Xi didn’t know what madness struck him, making him so hard to beat; his arms could attack, defend, almost only lacking in using a spell.

In the current situation, if Gu Xi focused on those small shadows, he would be giving up the 52 ghosts.

After killing the small shadows, Gu Xi would still have to turn around and have his subordinates focus on the deceitful shadow boss.

Better to focus all combat power on that deceitful shadow boss.

As for the charging small ones, Gu Xi wasn’t concerned at all.

[Wraith Whiskers]

[Bone Storm]

[Skeleton Priest]

Gu Xi released three spells in succession, creating a path of white bone arms and tendrils at the forefront of the deceitful shadows’ battlefield.

This path blocked the charging deceitful shadows, covering them with blue light.

The shadows’ movement speed slowed, even colliding with each other.

Even two deceitful shadow bosses mixed among the shadows were affected.

Then countless bone fragments spread outward from these shadows, each fragment like a blade cutting through the shadows’ bodies, harvesting their life.

It can be said that with just these two spells, Gu Xi held back all the charging shadows.

As for the last-released Skeleton Priest, it was Gu Xi’s final support for his undead, for when Gu Xi alone was withstanding the shadowy squad’s impact, he had no time to look in other directions.

At this moment, Gu Xi was fully channeling his mana, repeatedly casting Bone Storm at the swarm of shadows.

He even charged through the undead battlefield, to the battle’s forefront, casting spells non-stop as the Evil Coffin moved.

Every spell landed accurately in the areas with the most shadows.

Meanwhile, a string of information kept popping up in Gu Xi’s vision.

[You killed a deceitful shadow (Level 2), gaining 6 experience points (experience +5%, level cap, overflow experience stored).]

[You killed a deceitful shadow (Level 2), gaining 11 experience points (experience +5%, level cap, overflow experience stored).]
