Torn apart.

Gu Xi swiftly made his move and successfully dismantled the mummified body, extracting four fragments of varying sizes and styles.

With these four pieces in hand, Gu Xi tried hard to assemble them.

However, no matter how Gu Xi tried, there was no way to piece them together into a single piece of equipment.

It was clear that there were numerous missing components.

But with only this one corpse in front of him, Gu Xi couldn’t find anything different nearby.

This left Gu Xi a bit troubled for the moment.

Just as Gu Xi was about to give up and take over the Assembly Hall first, the undead who were clearing the battlefield suddenly brought something to Gu Xi.

This time, the battlefield was being cleaned by Gu Xi’s Conversion Undead Combat Squad.

After all, on this battlefield, the recently slain were Blood Dragons. Although their levels were not high, they were quite good materials, so Gu Xi didn’t let ordinary people handle them.

Unexpectedly, they found something unique on these Blood Dragons.

What the Combat Squad brought over were some blood-red fragments.

Although it was just a small piece, Gu Xi immediately realized that within the bodies of those ten Blood Dragons, there were also equipment fragments hidden.

"Find everything, immediately!"

Following Gu Xi’s orders, the Combat Squad quickly rummaged through the Blood Dragons’ bodies, and they also found the original hiding spot of the Blood Dragons.

That area was located at the railing around this large space.

Through their restoration, Gu Xi saw what was happening here.

This was a platform at the top of the castle.

It felt like the treetop planting platform at the top of the castle in Minas Tirith.

Only here, instead of trees, there was a pool with a throne inside, and around the platform were lying statues of ten Blood Dragons.

In times of combat, the ten Blood Dragons would be activated and soar again.

But as Screaming Castle was abandoned, this place was buried underground, losing its original grandeur.

At the original statue positions of the Blood Dragons, the Combat Squad of Gu Xi’s subordinates also found some fragment pieces.

Add all these bits and pieces together, Gu Xi had seven blood-red fragments, five brass fragments, a red silk, two red gems, and a silver fragment in his hands.

With the final piece collected, a message popped up before Gu Xi’s eyes.

[You have collected special equipment fragments and can inject different energy or power to combine them.]

Seeing the message, Gu Xi understood what was happening.

He also knew what type of energy the previous owner of Screaming Castle used to combine fragments.

The bright red crystals produced from the Energy Well below Screaming Castle.

But Gu Xi was not of the Blood Race; he would not walk the path of the Vampire.

Gu Xi pondered for a moment, and the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe stepped forward, standing right in front of Gu Xi.

Gu Xi placed his hand on the Yellow Springs Dragon Robe, and a ball of Negative Energy appeared in his hand.

This Negative Energy in Gu Xi’s hand was completely different from the usual Negative Energy controlled by an Undead Mage.

The Negative Energy here carried the aura of the Netherworld.

Feeling all this, Death Incarnation-Titan also appeared behind Gu Xi, and without Gu Xi’s command, he picked up those fragments.

Under the influence of Death Incarnation-Titan, the nearby ground quickly transformed, causing changes to the surrounding environment.

At this moment, an undead resembling a mummy also arrived.

He was precisely the Soulless Blood Corpse Gu Xi sought, a presence converted to Yalidu City through Double Death after being killed by Gu Xi.

He was found individually after receiving Gu Xi’s order.

Gu Xi brought him out, mainly to inquire about Screaming Castle.

When he arrived, it was precisely when Gu Xi was assembling the equipment.

Some converted undead from Double Death retain parts of their memories from life.

Sighting the items held by Death Incarnation-Titan, this Soulless Blood Corpse halted in motion.

By now, Gu Xi had gathered an aura similar to the Lord of Mount Tai.

This was something Gu Xi learned from the Taishan Prefect’s Secret Record.

This aura was undoubtedly stronger than the undead aura Gu Xi used, and even the Negative Energy.

Additionally, Gu Xi possessed special Negative Energy brought back from the real world.

That was energy loaned to High-tier undead.

Its quality far surpassed the bright red energy originally used by Screaming Castle.

As soon as this Negative Energy aligned with the Netherworld aura emerged, all fragments began to vibrate uncontrollably.

It was evident these fragments knew what they wanted.

At this moment, the Soulless Blood Corpse seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke: "Master, please don’t."

Gu Xi’s actions paused.

"What’s wrong?"

"Master, don’t provide too much energy to this item, or it will become uncontrollable."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi knew the Soulless Blood Corpse was knowledgeable, and he nodded to Death Incarnation-Titan.

Death Incarnation-Titan quickly moved forward to control the fragments.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi withdrew the Netherworld aura he had just released and approached the Soulless Blood Corpse.

"Tell me, what’s the situation here?"

"Master, this is the Blood Dragon Crown, a half-ritual type piece devised by the Duke of Wailing, previous owner of Screaming Castle."

The Soulless Blood Corpse indeed knew the details and spoke directly about the situation.

"What does a half-ritual type equip mean?"

"It refers to improving a piece of equipment to a high level through rituals, but the equipment can only be used within a specific range. Outside of this range, the equipment will lose all power."

If he hadn’t known about the Black Players, Gu Xi might have been amazed by such a situation.

But having learned about the Black Players, Gu Xi’s immediate thought was whether this item was also crafted by them.

Gu Xi asked calmly.

"Did the Duke of Wailing ultimately succeed?"

"He succeeded halfway. The Blood Dragon Crown was originally a semi-complete piece, and his attempt drained all the energy from Screaming Castle, yet failed to meet the energy demands.

What he created did not reach his target level, instead depleting Screaming Castle’s energy, leaving it unprotected and eventually abandoned.

But Master is different; the two energies Master revealed earlier are of much higher quality than the original energy of Screaming Castle.

If Master activates the Blood Dragon Crown without preparation, the ritual would ultimately fail."
