Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 179: The Invaded Undead Calamity Array


Under the city gate tower, at the platform where the token is placed, Gu Xi is using all the means he knows to stimulate the token in front of him.

"React, come on, give me a response. Damn it, no contact information at all. How am I supposed to call for help when something happens?"

Fortunately, after Gu Xi stimulated the token for about three minutes, the white light on the token flickered again.

The voice of the Mage Leader came from the token.

"Comrade Gu, please do not mess with the array token at a time like this. Do you know the array is running, and do you understand the impact of moving the token?

I know it's dangerous there, and I also know you haven't received your victory reward this time.

But we're already working on compensating you. If you continue like this, the negative energy supply on your side will be cut off.

Think carefully."

"Mage Leader, I've discovered something here.

I've been fighting the Other Ghosts outside the Undead Ritual Array, ensuring no Other Ghosts enter the Undead Ritual Array, but when I was clearing the battlefield, I found the dismantled array base.

I can confirm it's a newly generated array base and part of the Undead Calamity Ritual Array.

It still carries part of the negative energy, which is why my men discovered it while cleaning up the battlefield."

Hearing this, the Mage Leader behind the token fell silent.

He didn't question why Gu Xi would recognize the base of the Undead Calamity Array.

This was taught in the academy; as the top-notch measure of an Undead Mage, setting up your own Undead Calamity Array is every Undead Mage's ultimate dream.

The school has long taught everything that can be taught.

Any Undead Mage can recognize the base of an Undead Calamity Array at a glance.

If Gu Xi didn't make a mistake, has something really gone wrong?

The Mage Leader couldn't guarantee.

Finally, he asked through the token: "There's a string of numbers written on the base; read that string of numbers."

"457726228."

Holding a stone that looked like a boundary tablet, Gu Xi carefully read the numbers on it.

Before Gu Xi finished reading, the Mage Leader interrupted him.

"Alright, no need to read further; wait a moment, I'll activate the Undead Calamity Array. You know the array node layout, right?"

"I've learned it."

Gu Xi responded swiftly.

"This base was moved out, but the array can still be used. This means other bases have been filled in. When I activate the array, check which one's faulty."

As soon as the Mage Leader finished speaking, the token flashed white, and a black magic array pattern appeared where Gu Xi was stationed.

Gu Xi had seen this magic array pattern in previous battles.

In the beginning, Gu Xi didn't pay much attention to this magic array.

After all, this wasn't his Undead Calamity Array.

Any changes and details had nothing to do with him.

But now it's different, and Gu Xi carefully examined the magic array pattern's direction.

Every change and turn at each node fell into Gu Xi's eyes.

Every node position had an array base, some buried beforehand, and some generated later, like the platform for holding the token, after setting up the Undead Calamity Array.

No matter what, each base had an identification number.

And they all fell within the range of numbers of the stolen base.

Gu Xi could tell at a glance whether these bases were real or fake.

He swiftly discovered that the flow of negative energy was not very smooth at the edge of the Undead Calamity Array.

If Gu Xi had noticed this before, he might not have paid much attention, assuming it was because the array was too far from the core position and the details were not well handled.

But now, with a base moved out, Gu Xi scrutinized it carefully.

He found that at these node positions, each had a base, but the base did not have a corresponding number. Instead, it displayed a clown's smiling face.

"Mage Leader, I've found something. There are four fake bases, and there's a clown's face carved on them."

"A clown's face? Hold on, I'll have other players at the nodes check too."

The following events didn't require the Mage Leader to issue orders.

Conversations through the token were audible to the entire Undead Calamity Array.

No need for orders; the players suppressing the nodes began checking on their own.

They didn't want any issues at this time.

After all, according to the Mage Leader, once they repelled another wave of Other Ghost attacks, they'd consider it a victory.

If the Undead Calamity Array had problems at this time, undoing their previous feats, it'd be a huge loss.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi was also contemplating how to handle the three or four fake array bases.

Excavating these things was relatively simple; just find a few Skeleton Soldiers to do it.

But once excavated, what to fill back in to substitute them?

At this point, Gu Xi suddenly felt the ground tremble, and several new skeletons emerged from underground.

This puzzled Gu Xi slightly.

Because the forces that suffered losses outside had already been replenished when they returned to the Undead Calamity Array.

The corpses brought in had also been transformed under the influence of the Undead Calamity Array.

What were these skeletons doing?

Before Gu Xi could ask, the voice of the Mage Leader returned from the token.

"Comrade Gu, the four bases you lack have been sent over to you. Deal with them first; I need to handle other node issues. Luckily, you discovered the base problem.

Otherwise, we would have ended up doing all this work for others."

After saying that, the Mage Leader ceased contact with Gu Xi and busied himself giving orders.

Gu Xi could hear the Mage Leader's commands through the token, but none of them concerned his node.

After listening for a while, Gu Xi began his tasks.

Filling the base gaps, arranging the freshly replenished Undead Corps.

Finally, deploying all the Stone Golems to scout the outside.

Although the Mage Leader could confirm the timing of the Other Ghost force's appearance,

Gu Xi could never be certain of when the Other Ghosts would appear.

To Gu Xi, it's better to control the movement of the Other Ghosts himself.

After dispatching the Stone Golems, Gu Xi wasn't idle.

The supplies previously piled up in front of the city gate now needed to be transported back into Yalidu City.

Initially, with Luna assisting, Gu Xi hadn't felt the difficulty.

After Luna left, Gu Xi realized handling these matters was quite troublesome.
