Chapter 111: Sudden Battle
Seeing the old man busy himself, Gu Xi felt a bit awkward. Where should he go next? Just watch here?
Or could he already leave?
While Gu Xi was confused, two more players appeared in the underground city.
These two players had distinctly different outfits: one looked like a miner, while the other wore heavy armor, resembling a city defender.
They quickly approached the old man.
“City Lord, has the troop been delivered?”
Before even arriving, the one in heavy armor was already shouting.
The old man was directing two ghost troops to their designated positions. Seeing him approach, the old man spoke unkindly.
“You’re only thinking about your stuff. Look, those heavy-armored zombies are for you, enough?”
“Enough. I knew the City Lord wouldn’t forget me. City Lord, you have no idea. Ever since you took away my troops, the dragon cubs over there have been unruly.”
“You talk too much.” The old man glanced at the player in heavy armor. “Go, go, distribute the troops. Wu Qian hasn’t come over, Liu Su, help bring the light shooters to him.”
“Okay.” The player dressed like a miner responded.
The two of them quickly led the remaining three troops to the side.
They didn’t even glance at Gu Xi, and the old man had no intention of introducing them to Gu Xi.
In these players' eyes, Gu Xi was just a temporary comrade delivering troops. Once outside, Gu Xi would leave, and there might not be another chance to come to the Garden of Dispersed Immortals again.
No matter how good their relationship with Gu Xi was, it was useless.
It would only waste energy.
Instead, they could do what they wanted to do.
This situation made Gu Xi feel awkward. He was calculating how to suggest leaving when the ground suddenly shook.
Gu Xi heard heavy drumbeats from above.
The old man’s face changed, “They’re coming again.”
After saying this, the old man looked around and noticed Gu Xi still standing there. He thought for a moment and said to Gu Xi, “Comrade, there’s a battle happening above. The Garden of Dispersed Immortals is short-handed. Why don’t you help out?
Rest assured, you won’t do it for nothing. You’ll get sufficient supplies.
Moreover, those shameless guys are attacking again. Even if you want to log out now, it’s too late. Just think of it as earning some extra.”
“Alright, who should I report to?”
Gu Xi didn’t mind joining the battle. As an undead mage, any big battle was a good chance for him to level up. The old man’s words were exactly what Gu Xi wanted to hear.
“Take the elevator up, and report directly to Captain Wood. He’ll arrange everything. I have matters to handle here, so I won’t keep you.”
As he spoke, the old man sent Gu Xi to the elevator.
When the elevator doors closed, Gu Xi noticed the ghost troops he had delivered flying to the tall pillars in the underground space.
With their addition, there were noticeably more light spots swirling around the pillars. The crystals on the ceiling became much brighter, with some areas turning bright purple, unlike the previous dark purple.
