Chapter 3299 A Chance to Rise to the Top (Bonus Chapter, Please Subscribe)

"Enemies? There shouldn't be any."

No sooner had the Blackblood Knight finished speaking than the thunderous sound of hooves echoed from the other side of the land.

Gu Xi turned his head to look in that direction and found that another person, just like the previous knight, had walked out from there.

He too arrived riding the yin wind, but the yin wind he rode carried contained less black energy and more of the aura of wind and snow.

When he appeared, he was dressed in white armor as white as ice and snow, followed by ten thousand white-armored cavalry. Unlike the previous black-armored cavalry who held their spears up, they dragged large swords that looked like ice.

As they advanced, the number of these white-armored cavalrymen clearly began to increase.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand...

Amirka, who was chasing the black-armored cavalry, did not notice what was happening behind him.

However, Gu Xi could not ignore these tens of thousands of cavalry.

The most troublesome aspect of cavalry is not their numbers or their charge, but their speed of movement.

When they detected the approaching cavalry, it meant they were ready to charge.

So Gu Xi simply raised his hand, and several city walls rose from the ground, blocking the path of these white-armored cavalrymen.

At the same time, a large number of skeleton archers appeared on the city walls.

Their levels are roughly between 25 and 30.

It can be said that they were among the earliest skeleton archers to follow Gu Xi. However, after Gu Xi obtained the Ghost King Cloak, liches and liches became rampant, and skeleton archers were used less frequently.

In addition, after several battles, some skeleton archers were transformed into the undead of Alydovi City through double death, and their usefulness became less and less.

This time, however, is an opportunity for them.

As they walked out, unlike other archers who simply held their bows, they raised them with arrows already nocked.

It can be said that they have entered a state of remote charging up at this point.

Although their ranged charged attacks couldn't be as powerful as Gu Xi's Phantom Bow, under the influence of the rules, it was already considered a semi-divine skill.

As they took their positions, even the bows and arrows in their hands began to glow with a strange light.

Just then, Amirka, who had already fought his way far away, also noticed what was happening behind him.

He sent a special message asking Gu Xi to give him a chance, saying he would be leading his troops back soon.

At the very least, he will arrange for other leaders to bring their troops back.

However, Gu Xi was not about to wait for them to retreat.

Despite the long battle duration, the actual time it took for the cavalry to charge and reach their target was only about seven or eight minutes.

The enemy has already started moving with their swords drawn. Once Amirka's men arrive and form a battle formation, everything will be over.

So Gu Xi muttered to himself, "I need you to teach me how to do things."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the skeleton archers, who had already completed their long-range charging, released their bowstrings.

Then I heard a buzzing sound.

Gu Xi then saw countless arrows fly out. There was no need for a special arrow rain attack; all the arrows turned into raindrops and fell from the sky, landing on the white-armored cavalry who were just starting to move.

Before the white-armored cavalry could react, they felt a sudden darkness above them.

A barrage of arrows pinned all the white-armored cavalrymen to the ground.

Their armor, made of ice, was completely useless; it couldn't stop the arrows at all.

Only the knight at the very front was not instantly killed.

However, his situation wasn't too good either. Gu Xi's Phantom Divine Bow didn't have a long charging time, and Gu Xi was reluctant to use it.

Just then, the Moon Cutter's thread reached the white-armored knight.

So Gu Xi swiftly swung his Moon Cutter, but in the next instant, the white-armored knight vanished.

Gu Xi could clearly sense that he had not been killed; the fragments left behind were all pieces of ice and snow.

Did you see that just now?

Gu Xi turned to ask the Black Blood Knight beside him a question.

"I saw it."

"do you know who he is?"

This is the issue that Gu Xi is truly concerned about.

After all, Gu Xi had already discerned from that attack that the opponent was in the same situation as the Black Blood Knight before his death.

They all possess red-tier equipment, and may even temporarily exceed the level of red-tier equipment, but have not yet reached the standard level.

Even if the opponent cannot completely block a normal attack from a red-clad character, they will still find a way to escape.

Unless Gu Xi can use the rules to charge up his power and knock the red equipment out of the opponent's hands, just like he killed the black-armored knight just now, the opponent can easily escape.

It's not a big deal if one or two enemies escape.

However, Gu Xi is worried that there will be a relatively large number of such entities.

That would put Gu Xi at a disadvantage in the fight.

"It seems like me, but it doesn't quite feel like me."

The Black Blood Knight looked at the spot where the White Armor Knight had disappeared and said this as a final word.

Gu Xi was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning behind the Black Blood Knight's words.

"You mean the black-armored guy I just knocked off, and the white-armored guy over there, are actually the same person?"

"Uh, you could understand it that way, but it's not quite like that..."

"Is that a dead clone from this game world?"

Gu Xi said another thing.

Just as the Blackblood Knight was about to nod, Gu Xi's eyes lit up. "You'd better think carefully before you answer."

Gu Xi had spoken with his friends in the land of death several times.

He knew very well what death was most taboo about.

If the two knights who appeared earlier, regardless of the color of their armor, are indeed the embodiment of death in this world, then I'm sorry, but this world and all its subordinate game worlds that have even the slightest connection to it are doomed.

Moreover, Gu Xi has to give back everything he has gained here.

Even the Phantom Bow that Gu Xi had just completed had to be dismantled and rebuilt from scratch.

Even since Gu Xi's Netherworld Flower has been transformed into the Black Blood Knight, the Netherworld Flower may be affected. It may not be shattered, but it will definitely be dealt with.

However, the only advantage is that the first person to discover the problem receives the reward of death.

Forget about such trivial matters as searching for something in the land of death and life; Gu Xi probably wouldn't even dare to think about the name "underworld."

The Blackblood Knight shook his head.

"No, no, what I meant was that they are clones, but not clones of death. Their name is the Children of the Ghost Realm."

Yes, that's the name.

"Tch, it's boring."

Upon hearing the name, Gu Xi waved his hand. The opportunity to forge a connection with death had been lost just like that; it was truly meaningless.

The Black Blood Knight didn't say anything, but the Black Queen, who was standing to the side, felt a chill on the back of her neck, as if something had just happened.
