——————————
Five days later, Gu Xi left Blood Sea City with his troops.
Different from the situation when they first entered Blood Sea City, Gu Xi and his men in Blood Sea City had already completed a change of clothes.
At least the tattered weapons and equipment of the Black Blood Knight have been refurbished.
Their old mail armor was inlaid with some iron plates made of white bones. The shields in their hands were also made of original wood, with wood as the base, and then covered with a layer of oil skin. Finally, it was inlaid with bone fragments.
As for the weapons, they have also been strengthened, but because no suitable metals were dug out in the blood sea, the weapons can't be strengthened as much as the armor that can be made of bones and animal skins.
The strengthening effect is not very good, at best it just doesn’t look that shabby.
On the other hand, Gu Xi got a waistband made of animal skin for himself and replaced the water grass skirt he just bought. This made Gu Xi not look as shameful as the unconscious undead.
In addition to clothes and equipment, this time he went into the sea to fight sea beasts, which also allowed Gu Xi to obtain a large amount of sea beast flesh and blood.
Although Gu Xi's cooking skills were not very good, and the flesh of sea beasts was full of the smell of blood, Gu Xi found that making these flesh into dried meat could still fill his stomach.
In order to ensure his food in the underworld, Gu Xi simply selected better quality sea animal flesh and made hundreds of kilograms of dried meat to ensure his food supply in the next few months.
All the remaining flesh and blood was taken by Gu Xi to feed the white horse of the black blood knight.
The black blood knight and the newly hired undead do not need food, but the white horse can eat some flesh and blood to make them stronger.
The flesh and blood of sea beasts in the sea is considered good food for white horses.
After feeding on the flesh and blood of sea beasts in the past few days, these white horses have grown significantly larger.
There are some white horses that looked a bit like donkeys at first, but now they look like horses.
Walking on the road to the underworld again, in addition to more than two thousand black blood knights, Gu Xi's team was also followed by more than four thousand undead.
These are the undead that Rhine and the others have recruited from Blood Sea City in the past five days.
Three thousand of them were only fighting types, with levels around level 7. They held picked bones or stones as weapons in their hands. To the outside world, they were followers of the Black Blood Knight, but Gu Xi understood that they were just cannon fodder.
About a thousand are laborers, ranging in level from level 5 to level 9.
More than half of these labor-type undead are coolies, responsible for carrying the food, fuel, etc. brought by Gu Xi.
A small number of undead with some common sense are mainly responsible for Collect some useful supplies as the troops advance.
As for the undead such as craftsmen, Gu Xi has not recruited any of them.
It's not that there aren't any in Blood Sea City, but they simply don't like Gu Xi's team.
You must know that the level of the black blood knights under Gu Xi is between level 9 and level 11.
They are said to be knights, but in fact they have not yet reached the level of full performance of death knights.
In some words, they actually still have potential.
And there are several such troops in Blood Sea City.
Not to mention that every member of the Blood Sea Council in Blood Sea City has passed level 40.
The craftsmen in Blood Sea City see little hope in the Black Blood Knight.
So no matter how much money Gu Xi offered, they would not be willing to leave Blood Sea City with Gu Xi.
The reason why there are more than four thousand undead in the end is entirely because of the invitation initiated by Rhine and others who took swords to find those undead who have not yet regained their consciousness.
Otherwise, Gu Xi could only recruit more than a thousand undead in Blood Sea City, which would be pretty good. After leaving the Blood Sea City, Gu Xi faced the Blood Sea City with his back, feeling the direction of the wind blowing, and led his men to follow the wind.
Gu Xi has made up his mind to go to the third prison first, go to the wisdom tower over there to check the information he needs, and then transfer to the sixth prison to see if he can get there Hire more troops.
Finally, go to the Wall of Sighs and try to see if you can enter the land of bliss without going through the Wall of Sighs.
If you can enter the land of bliss, Gu Xi will go to the great prophet to find out how to drag a kingdom into the underworld.
If there is no way to enter the Land of Paradise, then Gu Xi will lead his men back to the earth through the passage near the Wall of Sighs.
Don't look at what the Blood Sea Prophet said there, only one person can walk on the road back to the underworld at a time.
But Gu Xi understood that it was a lack of understanding of the rules of life and death.
A necromancer who understands the rules of life and death can take away an army of undead and natural disasters alone.
Not to mention that Gu Xi only has more than 6,000 troops around him now. This is already a relatively small number of troops that Gu Xi has had in the past few years.
If you really want to take care of yourself, you still have the ability to rest. The few troops in front of you are at most a forward force.
Therefore, Gu Xi believed that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to lead his troops back to the underworld.
For now, he had better find what he was looking for first as planned.
With his back turned to the wind blowing from Blood Sea City, Gu Xi walked with the wind.
Driven by the wind, Gu Xi and the undead under him moved a little faster as if they were blessed with the rushing wind technique or the rushing technique.
Originally, Gu Xi walked the route for more than three days. This time, with Gu Xi's sleepless driving, it only took him more than two days to reach the edge of the fifth prison.
"Sir, the wind seems to have stopped."
As the sea breeze from the fifth prison stopped, Gu Xi's men moved significantly slower by about 30%.
At this time, Gu Xi also slowed down and looked around.
"It seems that we have walked out of the fifth prison. Let's rest where we are first. Wu Lie, you go to the nearby area to check the situation. Rest where you are and help me get some pieces of dried meat and water. , I’m almost dying after walking for these few days.”
Gu Xi sat down on the ground.
Over the past two days and two nights, Gu Xi's undead men have not stopped for a moment, and Gu Xi has not stopped for a moment either.
This can be regarded as the most difficult period Gu Xi has experienced since he successfully took office.
Even when he just took office and was still in Chaoyang Guild, Gu Xi had never been in such a miserable state. After all, he had a mount that he could use for transportation.
Like now, he really kept walking, even eating while walking.
Now Gu Xi just wants to have a good rest.
But as soon as he sat on the ground, Gu Xi felt something was wrong with the ground.
He reached out and touched the ground and found that the place where he was sitting seemed to be a rather large stone.
Gu Xiqiang stood up and asked someone to clean up the weeds and moss on the ground.
Only then did he realize that the place where he had just stood was actually a boundary stone.
A line of text is carved on the stone surface.
‘A bloody sea! ’
