Chapter 3: The Power of the Necromancer
After killing this batch of cultists, Gu Xi and Luna began to act with remarkable coordination.
Gu Xi performed soul extraction while Luna looted the corpses, handling these bodies with swift efficiency.
The only unfortunate thing was that the cultists were a bunch of poor souls, with nothing of value on them. The weapons they had were non-magical, and some were so poor that they didn’t even have a dagger.
This situation made Gu Xi wonder how he had ended up being captured by such impoverished individuals.
He began to question what he had done to end up subdued by such riffraff.
At that moment, Gu Xi felt a slight chill on his arm. Turning his head, he found Luna standing beside him, gently patting his arm with her hollow eyes focused on his face.
“Don’t overthink it. You’re not alone now.”
Gu Xi’s facial muscles twitched slightly.
Was he being comforted by his undead minion?
Was his demeanor that obvious?
Gu Xi shook his head, dismissing his thoughts, and quickly moved to the freshly processed corpses.
As he passed by these bodies, his fingers kept flicking outward.
With each flick, a light orb would land on a complete or incomplete corpse.
“Summon Skeleton!”
“Lesser Bone Shield!”
“Summon Skeleton!”
With Gu Xi's actions, corresponding prompts kept ringing in his ears.
[You successfully used Summon Skeleton, obtaining a Skeleton (Level 0), Summon Skeleton experience +1.]
[Skeleton (Level 0, Summon): Experience (0/100), Attack 1, Defense 1, Health 10, Skills None]
[You successfully used Summon Skeleton, obtaining a Skeleton (Level 0), Summon Skeleton experience +1.]
[You failed to use Summon Skeleton, obtaining Summon Skeleton experience +1.]
[You successfully used Lesser Bone Shield, Lesser Bone Shield experience +1.]

Simultaneously, the corpses on the ground burst open. Some turned into dry, yellow skeletons standing behind Gu Xi, while others became gray-white wisps hovering around Gu Xi and Luna.
“All right, let’s move.”
After processing all the corpses, Gu Xi called out to Luna.
At that moment, Luna had just finished distributing weapons to the newly converted skeletons.
The weapons they wielded were all items Luna had picked up earlier—broken scimitars or simply iron rods and wooden staffs.
Although these weapons weren’t much, given the current circumstances, it was fortunate they had any at all.
Hearing Gu Xi's command, the three newly converted skeletons charged forward without Luna needing to control them.
Their steps were light and decisive, their goals clear, unlike unintelligent undead who wandered aimlessly.
They moved with aggression, stepping forward to smash anything they could.
Even the plates and water jars by the roadside were kicked aside.
