----------

Five days later, Gu Xi and his troops left Xuehai City.

Unlike the situation when they first entered the Blood Sea City, Gu Xi and his men in the Blood Sea City have already completed a change of clothes.

At least the Black Blood Knight's tattered weapons and equipment were repaired.

Their old mail armor was inlaid with some iron plates made of bones, and the shields in their hands were also made of wood, but now had a wood base, was covered with a layer of oiled leather, and finally inlaid with bone fragments.

As for weapons, they have been strengthened, but because no suitable metals were dug out from the sea of ​​blood, the weapons cannot be as strengthened as armor made of bones and animal skins.

The strengthening effect is not very good, at most it just makes it look less shabby.

However, Gu Xi got herself a waist belt made of animal skin and replaced the water grass skirt she had just bought, which made Gu Xi look less embarrassing than that unconscious undead.

In addition to clothes and equipment, this trip to the sea to fight sea beasts 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 and blood of sea beasts were full of blood, Gu Xi found that he could still fill his stomach by making the flesh and blood into jerky.

In order to ensure his food supply in the underworld, Gu Xi simply selected the flesh and blood of sea beasts of relatively good quality and made several hundred kilograms of dried meat to ensure his food supply in the underworld for the next few months.

All the remaining flesh and blood was taken by Gu Xi to feed the Black Blood Knight's white horse.

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 also good food for white horses.

After being fed with the flesh and blood of sea beasts over the past few days, these white horses have noticeably grown larger in size.

Some of the white horses that initially looked a bit like donkeys now look a bit like horses.

Walking back on the road to the underworld, in addition to the more than two thousand Black Blood Knights, Gu Xi's team also had more than four thousand undead.

These are the undead that Rhine and his team have recruited from Blood Sea City in the past five days.

Three thousand of them are combat-type, around level 7, holding picked-up bones or stones as weapons. To the outside world, their identity is the servants of the Black Blood Knights, but Gu Xi understands that they are just cannon fodder.

About a thousand of them are laborers, with levels ranging from level 5 to level 9.

More than half of these labor-type undead are coolies, responsible for carrying the food, fuel, etc.

A small number of them are undead with some common sense. They are mainly responsible for collecting some useful supplies when the troops advance.

As for the undead like craftsmen, Gu Xi didn't recruit any of them.

It’s not that there are no such people in Xuehai City, but they simply look down on Gu Xi’s team.

You should know that the level of the Black Blood Knights under Gu Xi is roughly between level 9 and level 11.

They are called knights, but they have not yet reached the level of a full-fledged Death Knight.

In some ways, they do have potential.

And there are several such troops in the Blood Sea City.

Not to mention the members of the Blood Sea Council in Blood Sea City, each of them is above level 40.

The craftsmen in Blood Sea City see little hope in the Black Blood Knight.

So no matter how much money Gu Xi paid, they would not be willing to follow Gu Xi and leave Xuehai City.

The reason why there are more than 4,000 undead in the end is entirely because Rhine and his men took swords and went to find the undead who have not yet regained their consciousness and made an invitation.

Otherwise, Gu Xi could only recruit more than a thousand undead in Xuehai City, which would be quite good. After leaving Xuehai City, Gu Xi faced Xuehai City with his back, felt the direction of the wind, and led his men to follow the wind.

Gu Xi had already made up his mind. He would go to the third prison first and look up the information he needed in the wisdom tower there. Then he would move to the sixth prison to see if he could hire more troops there.

Finally, go to the Wall of Sighs and try to see if you can enter Paradise without passing through the Wall of Sighs.

If he could enter paradise, Gu Xi would go to the great prophet to ask about the method of dragging a kingdom into the underworld.

If there is no way to enter the paradise, Gu Xi will lead his men back to the world of the living through the passage near the Wall of Sighs.

Don’t be fooled by what the Blood Sea Prophet says, only one person can go back to the world of the living 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 down an army of Undead Scourge by himself.

Not to mention that Gu Xi now has only more than 6,000 soldiers around him, which is already a relatively small force Gu Xi has had in recent years.

If we really want to take care of the enemy's ability, the current troops can only be vanguard troops at most.

So Gu Xi believed that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely be able to lead his troops back to the world of the living.

Now, he still had to find what he was looking for according to the plan.

With his back to the wind blowing from the Blood Sea City, Gu Xi walked with the wind.

Pushed by the wind, Gu Xi and his undead subordinates moved a little faster, as if they were blessed with the wind or speed spell.

Originally, it took Gu Xi more than three days to walk this route, but this time, due to Gu Xi's sleepless travel, it only took him more than two days to reach the edge of the fifth prison.

"My lord, the wind seems to have died down."

As the sea breeze in the Fifth Hell stopped, the movement speed of Gu Xi's men obviously slowed down by about 30%.

At this time, Gu Xi also slowed down his pace and looked around.

"It seems that we have walked out of the Fifth Prison. Let's rest here for a while. Wu Lie, you go check the situation nearby, and the others rest here. Bring me some dried meat and some water. I'm almost exhausted after walking for a few days."

Gu Xi sat down on the ground.

During these two days and two nights, the undead under Gu Xi's command never stopped, and Gu Xi also never stopped.

This can be regarded as the most difficult period that Gu Xi has ever experienced since he successfully got the job.

Even when he had just taken office and was still in the Rising Sun Guild, Gu Xi had never lived in such a miserable state. After all, he had a mount that he could use to get around.

It’s not like now, he really keeps walking, even eating while walking.

Now Gu Xi just wants to have a good rest.

However, as soon as he sat on the ground, Gu Xi felt something was wrong with the ground.

He reached out and felt the ground, and found that where he was sitting there seemed to be a large stone.

Gu Xi forced himself to stand up and asked someone to clear 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.

There is a line of words engraved on the stone.

"A sea of ​​blood!"
