As Gu Xi issued all the commands he held and awaited the front-line battle reports, he suddenly noticed that the Equipment Carrier of the White Bone Obelisk appeared behind him.
The figure was clearly fortifying and suppressing something.
"What happened?"
Gu Xi inquisitively looked toward the White Bone Obelisk.
Among the six paths in the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp, the White Bone Obelisk is the most distinct.
Whether as a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao or Orange Armor, it is a kind of supreme existence.
Such proactive appearances are rare.
But this indicates a significant event must have transpired.
Gu Xi wanted to inquire about it.
However, the Equipment Carrier would cooperate in battles and obey Gu Xi’s commands, but couldn’t answer his questions.
Gu Xi had no choice but to employ his own method; he placed his arm on the Equipment Carrier’s back and viewed the anomalies through its vision.
Upon pressing his hand on the Carrier’s back, Gu Xi realized it was looking toward the advancing direction of the Undead Corps.
There appeared to be a massive rise of black fog over there, eager to engulf something.
It’s the tactics of using Evil Qi to devour Luck again.
Previously, Gu Xi almost suffered a huge loss from this.
Now, he hasn’t yet shifted the effects of the Flame Light Protection back to his most familiar Mental Immunity.
And here they come again.
Do they truly consider him easy prey?
Attempting to seize his luck?
They really underestimated him.
With a thought, Gu Xi felt the White Bone Obelisk settle upon him, suppressing his luck firmly.
Simultaneously, Gu Xi quickly adjusted the immunity methods concerning the Flame Light Six Paths Lamp.
"Immunity to Luck extraction or destruction Spells."
Having accomplished all this, another idea flashed through Gu Xi’s mind.
Among the books recommended by Gong Lingyu was a volume relating to Undead luck skills.
What was the name of that book?
Gu Xi swiftly rummaged through his pocket, retrieving the reading list provided by Gong Lingyu.
Shortly afterward, Gu Xi immediately contacted Eve, who was copying books at Netherworld University.
"Eve, check if the book ’Curse of the Undead’ has been transcribed. If not, borrow it from the Library or find a way to buy a copy and send it over."
Though Eve didn’t know Gu Xi’s intentions, she promptly sorted through the books she’d copied.
Within moments, ’Curse of the Undead’ was discovered.
As this book was among the earlier ones, Eve had already transcribed it.
This book explains how to utilize the Undead in battles to reduce enemy luck.
Eve also transcribed several related books.
Upon hearing Gu Xi’s order, Eve quickly approached the library’s administrator to purchase corresponding magazines and books.
Altogether, she gathered over ten books and paused, pondering how to deliver them to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi had anticipated this issue.
Eve was currently at Netherworld University, engaged in transcription, and returning to Yalidu City might take too long.
Therefore, while asking Eve to find the books, Gu Xi also contacted Lingxi.
Allowing Lingxi to relay the materials.
Lingxi handled the task efficiently; as soon as Eve packed all the books, they vanished from her grip before she could connect with Gu Xi.
Thereafter, Gu Xi deliberately shut his eyes.
Upon reopening them, he found a large packet of books in his hands.
Rapidly, Gu Xi extracted the crucial ’Curse of the Undead’.
’Curse of the Undead’ was the standard among these books and a textbook.
Others were akin to workbooks and research journals.
The essential point now is whether ’Curse of the Undead’ could yield the required information for Gu Xi.
Opening ’Curse of the Undead,’ Gu Xi read the first statement.
"Undead inherently cause misfortune on the battlefield, impacting both sides’ morale."
Upon reading this, Gu Xi smiled.
Undead need not worry about morale.
This seems to be it.
Few are aware of luck.
But, regarding armies, it translates to fortune and morale.
The appearance of Undead in battles severely influences morale.
This applies to both his forces and the enemy’s.
After all, witnessing a recently fallen comrade rise as an Undead to resume combat is unsettling.
Only Undead Mage’s pure Undead troops or morale-less puppet armies remain unaffected.
The book ’Curse of the Undead’ teaches how to efficiently exploit decreased morale and luck, especially in battles exceeding one hundred thousand troops.
The immediate impact of ’Curse of the Undead’ amplifies the Undead’s presence on the battlefield.
Concentrating fifty thousand Undead can utterly crush enemy morale.
Grasping ’Curse of the Undead’, Gu Xi read swiftly.
Lingxi, upon delivering the books, had also brought tea for Gu Xi.
This tea could mitigate some effects ’Curse of the Undead’ had on Gu Xi.
It prolonged his reading time.
Gu Xi understood that he couldn’t afford too much time for comprehensive reading.
Sitting atop the Holy Silver Evil Coffin, he advanced with the major Undead Corps, reading continuously.
[You read ’Curse of the Undead’, gaining insight into Misfortune Skill.]
[You read ’Curse of the Undead’, gaining understanding of negative morale.]
[You read...]
[...]
With Gu Xi’s reading, numerous insights flashed before him.
These were all knowledge Gu Xi hadn’t acquired previously.
This wisdom encompassed Active and Passive Skills.
Collectively, they culminated in a significant passive effect.
Battlefield Misfortune!
Whenever Gu Xi’s forces exceed one hundred thousand.
Even with one hundred thousand level 1 Undead.
His opponent’s morale and luck would diminish.
The larger Gu Xi’s forces, the broader battlefield, the greater and swifter the opponent’s attributes decline.
Ultimately, it might impact their life and combat power.
Indeed, this is an essential skill for an Undead Mage in major battles.
Among countless players, only rare lines within Undead Mages could amass over one hundred thousand troops at lower levels.
Gong Lingyu’s evaluation of Gu Xi was correct.
Gu Xi wasn’t aware of these possibilities, yet the opposition’s manipulation of luck forced this realization and learning.
Now, Gu Xi could immediately leverage this trait.
