Chapter 110: The Real Dispersed Immortal Garden
"Yes, it is the Sunshine Glory Guild's intern newcomer, tasked with transporting troops to the Dispersed Immortal Garden. This time, we transported five units, a total of five thousand five hundred people. We encountered battles on the way, with a loss of 204 people. The rest were all delivered."
Seeing that Shu Daiyi planned to handle things formally, Gu Xi quickly spoke up and prepared to open the city gate to directly hand over the transported undead troops.
"Wait, don't place the troops here. I'll take you there.
Additionally, during transportation, up to 10% loss is permitted. As long as you provide five thousand soldiers, the rest are yours."
"Ah."
"No 'ah,' come with me. I'll take you to see the city lord. However, this time the guild has profited; you reached the level cap during your internship. It seems your talent is quite good."
Level cap?
Gu Xi was stunned for a moment. He then realized that, unknowingly, his experience had reached the standard for level 5. However, due to an active mission, he couldn't level up to 5 temporarily.
Gu Xi also noticed that the overflow experience was being stored. Given the current situation, he had just gained over five thousand experience points.
Frowning, Gu Xi quickly scrolled up and finally found the clue in the notifications.
[Death Incarnation (magical creation) killed the Wraith Leader (level 9), you gained 5133 experience points (experience +5%).]
The groom is dead!
Gu Xi was quite sure of this.
Seeing Gu Xi frown, Shu Daiyi, who was leading the way, also smiled.
"What, you don't know how to activate your talent?"
"Ah, yes, they didn't teach this at the academy."
Gu Xi smiled and quickly explained.
"Don't worry, if the academy didn't teach it, the guild will definitely arrange it. Since you are an undead mage, my method isn't suitable for you. You and the city lord can discuss it later, and you'll soon be able to activate your talent and level up again."
As Shu Daiyi spoke, he also led Gu Xi in a certain direction.
Since Gu Xi was riding the evil coffin, Shu Daiyi called out his mount, a purple warhorse. The warhorse was fully armored, with only its eyes, burning with ghostly blue flames, exposed.
Next to the warhorse was a purple battle flag, depicting a fairy with butterfly wings.
Riding the warhorse, Shu Daiyi pulled up the battle flag, and three fairies flew out from nearby, following him.
These three fairies were about the same size as normal fairies, wearing purple robes, with butterfly wings emitting a ghostly blue glow.
"What's this?"
"Oh, my ghouls, follow me. I'll take you to see the city lord."
Ghouls?
Gu Xi was speechless. Ghouls looking like this? Did I join a fake undead guild?
They soon arrived at a mud hut at the edge of the mound.
Compared to the various buildings outside, this mud hut wasn't tall, only about two meters high, a single room.
Inside the hut was an old man in a linen robe, holding a broom.
Unlike the guild leader's ethereal demeanor, this old man was truly old, with wrinkles deep enough to pinch someone.
Seeing Gu Xi arrive, the old man put down his broom and straightened up.
"You must be the warrior transporting the troops. Where are the troops?"
"All brought, should I release them now?"
Gu Xi looked around; the space here was very small.
"Come in."
The old man beckoned Gu Xi to enter the hut.
At this moment, Shu Daiyi also said to the old man: "City lord, the person has been delivered, I need to patrol, so I won't stay."
"You go, I'll handle things here."
The old man said while beckoning Gu Xi.
Knowing this was the city lord of the Dispersed Immortal Garden, Gu Xi lowered his guard and followed him inside.
"This hut was originally the residence of the gravekeeper by the mound. Later, when we occupied this place, we modified it into an elevator to enter the Dispersed Immortal Garden."
Ah!
Gu Xi was stunned.
An elevator?
He thought this was the conference hall of the Dispersed Immortal Garden.
Unexpectedly, it was an elevator.
While talking, Gu Xi felt the ground slightly tremble. When the trembling stopped, the old man opened the door and led Gu Xi out.
Upon exiting the elevator, Gu Xi was astonished by the sight.
They had arrived in an underground cave. Looking up, the ceiling was covered with purple crystals. Light, reflected from somewhere, shone on these crystals, casting a purple hue throughout the cave.
Inside the cave was a large city, occupying at least 300 square kilometers.
The entire city was built around a massive stone pillar.
On the pillar were countless climbing corpses, and Gu Xi noticed numerous light spots circling the pillar.
"What's this?"
"The underground of the mound is the main part of the Dispersed Immortal Garden. We don't know the original name of this city, only that the stone pillar, the burial site of the mound, contains an immortal.
Don't look at me like that. We discovered this while searching for information under the tomb. The buried one called himself an immortal.
Those purple crystals are the energy overflow from the immortal's body, known as dragon blood crystals, and the metal influenced by the overflow energy on the surface is called dragon steel.
Our job is to suppress this place, maintaining its balance.
We also gather materials here. This world's invasion has made the situation difficult because some of our soldiers were deployed to deal with it.
Where are your soldiers?"
Gu Xi snapped out of his shock, opened the Death City gate, and five undead units quickly marched out.
Seeing these soldiers, the old man became serious and carefully counted their numbers and strength.
After confirming the numbers and that they weren't filled with trash undead, the old man nodded in satisfaction to Gu Xi.
"Well done, warrior. These troops solve my biggest problem. I have things to do, so I won't keep you. This is your mission completion proof. After leaving this world, you can go to the administrative hall to claim your reward."
The old man handed Gu Xi a silver finger bone-like item.
Without waiting for Gu Xi to ask, the old man commanded:
"Yin Wind Camp, Ghost Qi Camp, take off. Underground Camp, suppress the anomaly."
