Chapter 167: Battlefield Harvest
"Everyone, get moving! Transport all the corpses unaffected by the summoning spell to the range of the Necromantic Scourge Array. Also, pick up everything on the ground that can be collected and take it away. Don't leave anything behind."
Gu Xi glanced at the Skeletal Mage leader briefly before turning his attention to the battlefield outside.
Cleaning up the battlefield needs to be quick. After all, other nodes are still in combat, and Gu Xi isn't sure when new enemies might arrive at this location.
The newly summoned undead, whether skeletons or zombies, were diligent and experienced in battlefield cleanup.
They worked together much more smoothly than in combat.
In no time, a large number of intact corpses were dragged into the Necromantic Scourge Ritual Array.
As Gu Xi had guessed, once these corpses were thrown into the array, they were immediately affected, beginning to transform based on their conditions.
Those with relatively complete flesh became zombies.
Those with less complete flesh became skeletons.
Those unfortunate ones, with incomplete bodies, would depend on their situation.
If they had a sufficiently high level or relatively intact souls, they could transform into ghosts.
If they had nothing, they would become bone weapons to equip the newly risen undead.
Due to the incomplete nature, the corpses thrown in would always leave behind some flesh after becoming new undead.
This flesh would quickly turn into black liquid, absorbed by the Necromantic Scourge Array, leaving no residue.
This made it much easier for the players guarding these nodes. At least they didn't have to clean up the battlefield, only tallying the remaining loot.
But Gu Xi didn't have it that easy.
He placed the battlefield outside the node he was guarding.
This was safer, but it meant that after each battle, he had to send people to clean up the battlefield, sometimes missing good items left behind.
Thus, Gu Xi had to personally inspect the battlefield for any missed spots.
This action indeed helped Gu Xi find some good items.
Two pieces of white baboon skin of different qualities: one from the mid-field commander-type leader, with perfectly preserved green quality, could serve as evidence of Gu Xi's killing of the ghoul leader.
