Chapter 098 Going up the mountain to watch the battle
"Faster, faster, faster!"
"The speed is already the fastest, City Lord."
"Think of a way, those guys are going to catch up!"
"..."
Underground in the wasteland, in the Gopher Man's mobile fortress, the conscientious businessman's urgent shouts kept ringing out, but what responded to him was the Gopher Man's silence. It's not that they don't want to speed up, but that the conditions don't allow it. The speed of digging holes is so fast.
Come on, the front end of the drill bit is already red and sparks are coming out. No matter how hard the city lord presses, the speed cannot be increased.
The gopher people are more accustomed to preparing in advance and digging enough passages underground so that if attacked, they can escape into the maze-like cave network.
This was indeed done before, but the city lord suddenly asked them to move in one direction, and that side was still a forbidden area, a place they didn't understand. Naturally, there was no hole leading to that side, so they had to dig holes while moving forward.
, but how fast can a hole be drilled now?
A group of ferocious head hunters were chasing behind them, and the gopher people were also panicked. They thought they didn't want to hurry up, but there was nothing they could do.
If the speed cannot be improved, then think of other methods!
The conscientious businessman was sweating on his forehead and had a panicked look on his face, but he knew in his heart that the more critical the moment, the more calm and sober he must be.
He forced himself to calm down, tried hard to activate his brain, and thought about how to get out of trouble.
Drilling holes will slow down your own speed, but the enemy does not need to slow down when passing through the cave, so... holy shit, I'm stupid, why do you have to drill holes underground to run? If I go to the ground, it's over. Anyway, it's not far from the coordinate point.
It's not too far away. If you work hard, you can still get there before the headhunters catch up.
"Up! Up diagonally, rush to the ground!" The conscientious businessman who wanted to understand did not hesitate at all and ordered immediately.
After receiving the order, the Gopher Man immediately controlled the direction of the fortress and rushed towards the surface, leaving a long slope behind the fortress.
Boom!
Amidst the roar, a huge drill bit burst out of the ground. Behind the drill bit was a carriage made of thick tree roots and vines tightly woven, and it also rushed out of the ground.
The Gopher Man Mobile Fortress emerged from the ground. Without hesitation, it quickly adjusted its direction, aimed at the coordinates, and galloped away at full speed.
Not to mention, moving on the ground is indeed better than moving underground. At least you don't have to dig holes and run at the same time, which saves a lot of trouble, and the speed of the mobile fortress can also be increased.
Shortly after leaving the mobile fortress, dense footsteps sounded in the underground cave, and a group of headhunters chased after them.
The leading head hunter raised his hand, and the tribesmen immediately stopped. A head hunter who was good at tracking came out, touched the ground, walked a few steps forward, and looked around for a while, and then returned.
Report to the leader.
"There is no ambush."
"Chase!"
After chasing for so long, it was impossible to give up. The leader took the lead and rushed into the new cave.
This time the tunnel was different from the previous ones. It was sloping upwards with a slope. Pursuing them upward consumed more energy and also slowed down their speed.
When the leader of the headhunters came out of the hole with his people, the Gopher Man's mobile fortress had long since disappeared, but there were ruts left on the ground, so he didn't need to be reminded at all to know which direction the fortress was going.
The leader said nothing and chased along the rut.
…
"It's a bit slow, hasn't it arrived yet?"
Li Ziyu checked the system and saw that it was almost the appointed time, but the Gopher Man's Moving Castle had not appeared yet.
Just when he was getting impatient, a skeletal undead came to him and told him that there was a breath of life in the distance that was approaching quickly.
coming!
Li Ziyu's eyes lit up and he asked all the undead to prepare, while he himself waited for the skeleton warrior.
From a distance, two lights came.
Li Ziyu squinted his eyes and looked over, vaguely seeing a big guy. At the front was a big drill, followed by several carriages that were thrown flying...
Okay, is this a train, with such high technology?
In the darkness in the distance, the Gopher Man's mobile fortress was moving at full speed, but their fortress was more adapted to underground life. It was not as comfortable on the ground as it was underground. The whole fortress was swaying as if it was drunk.
【Private chat】
Conscientious businessman: I seem to see you.
I don’t want to take the driver’s license test: I think it’s me, slow down, you want to hit me to death?!
Conscientious businessman:...I understand!
After exchanging a few words through chat, the crooked and rickety "Gopher Man Train" suddenly braked, its wheels slid on the ground, bringing up billowing smoke and dust, and slid all the way to Li Ziyu, where it stopped uneasily.
Got the car.
Li Ziyu slowly raised his head and looked at the tall and heavy drill very close to him. The muscles on his face twitched and his eyes slowly narrowed.
It's so dangerous. If I go any further, my life will be gone!
The super-large carriage behind the drill opened, and a group of people ran out and approached Li Ziyu. The leader was a human, and behind them were gopher people.
As soon as they approached, the skeleton warriors stepped forward one after another, pointing the bone knives in their hands at these uninvited guests.
"Uh... stop, stop!" the conscientious businessman quickly stopped, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and shouted loudly.
In fact, there was no need for him to shout. When the gopher man saw the undead clearly, he had already stopped and hesitated.
Li Ziyu looked at the people in front of him from behind the undead. The human at the front was probably a conscientious businessman. He looked young, probably in his twenties. In his previous life, he probably had not graduated from college. It was the same as what he had imagined.
It's not the same.
He thought that a conscientious businessman must be a greasy middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a young man with messy hair, dark circles under his eyes, and a depressed spirit.
Behind the conscientious businessman, there were hundreds of gopher men, looking at the undead with horrified faces.
"Lord of the Undead City, it's me. I, the conscientious businessman, am one of my own, don't shoot!" The conscientious businessman raised his hands and shouted until his voice almost broke.
Li Ziyu raised his hand, and the skeleton warrior immediately moved his steps neatly and cleared a path. The conscientious businessman looked at the undead and then at Li Ziyu behind the passage. He gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and walked over with some trembling.
aisle.
He was really scared. He had communicated with the undead city lord several times, but it didn't mean that the other party had no ill intentions towards him. If the other party gave an order at this time, he would really be hacked to death by the undead around him.
Fortunately, this was just his fantasy. In fact, the undead did not move at all. They just watched the gopher people silently and did not let them come forward.
"Huh... Hello Lord of the City of the Undead, I am a conscientious businessman who has contacted you. My real name is Zhang Peng." Zhang Peng, a conscientious businessman, came to Li Ziyu, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself.
Li Ziyu stared at his face for a few seconds, then looked at his outstretched hand, raised an eyebrow, and shook hands with him, "My name is Li Ziyu, where are the headhunters? Did you dump them?"
He had just observed that behind the gopher people's mobile fortress, there seemed to be no pursuers as Zhang Peng talked about. He did not see the figure of the headhunters, and the skeletal long archers who were ambushing him did not give him a warning.
"Hey, what's behind us? I ran fast and came here first. They will definitely chase us after a while." Zhang Peng said with a wry smile.
Then he came to his senses and asked quickly: "By the way, where are your undead souls? These are not the only ones. There are hundreds of headhunters. Can these undead souls be able to stop them?"
"Have peace of mind, you can stop it. As for you, park the fortress here first, attract the headhunters, and let your gopher people stay away first. Let's go to the mountain to watch the battle." Li Ziyu smiled mysteriously and said to Zhang
Peng said.
"This... my fortress is going to be parked here? Isn't that bad?" Zhang Peng's face turned bitter when he heard that the fortress was going to be thrown here, and he was a little at a loss.
He really wanted to refuse, but he didn't have the courage. If he said no, then Li Ziyu would turn around and leave, and he would be in trouble.
Seeing Zhang Peng's face, Li Ziyu guessed what he was thinking and sighed, "Trust is the basis for becoming friends. If you don't believe me, you can leave now and I won't stop you."
Does this mean that if I don’t trust you, I’m no longer a friend, and then you drop your pick and turn around and leave?
Is that even possible?
If you run away, I will be dead!
"No, no, no, please don't say that. I'm very grateful that you are willing to help me. The fortress will stay here and I will follow you." The formality was not up to anyone, and Zhang Peng could not tolerate hesitation, so he said quickly.
Seeing Zhang Peng's interest, Li Ziyu smiled, turned around and walked towards the mountain. Zhang Peng turned to look at his gopher man and quickly followed. After the two left, the undead stepped forward and led the gopher man up the mountain.
These undead look scary, but there don't seem to be enough of them.
While walking up the mountain, Zhang Peng secretly glanced at the Skeleton Warrior, constantly thinking in his mind whether Li Ziyu had fought too fiercely in the previous battle and killed all the undead under his command, and now he was relying on such a small number of people to support the scene.
But don't let yourself get ahead of yourself. If you win a battle and feel like you're good, that would be miserable. Otherwise, I should find a way out first, and if I lose, run away immediately. Maybe I still have a chance to survive.
Compared to Zhang Peng, who was anxious and uneasy, Li Ziyu seemed calm and calm, completely ignoring the upcoming headhunters. In other words, in Li Ziyu's eyes, they were just a bunch of headhunters.
I rushed over to give you a soul energy pack as a gift!
The two came to the mountain. Waiting here were about a hundred skeletal undead and a dozen high-level skeletal warriors to serve as temporary guards for the two of them. There were still many beasts and monsters in the undead mountains. These undead were.
To guard against them.
"Let's just watch the battle here. Don't worry, it'll be alright." Li Ziyu found a big rock to sit down on, and saw Zhang Peng looking uneasy, so he persuaded her.
Zhang Peng forced a smile, but did not sit down like Li Ziyu. Instead, he kept looking at the mobile fortress parked below, which was the basis for his settlement in the foreign world.
On the wasteland, more than five hundred headhunters were chasing along the ruts left by the Gopher Man's mobile fortress. Under the moonlight, they saw the big, motionless creature in the distance.
"Where is it!" A flash of excitement flashed in the eyes of the leader of the headhunting tribe, and he raised his hand and pointed forward to signal to the tribe.
Other headhunters also discovered the mobile fortress and followed their leader, slowing down their pace and moving forward cautiously while being alert to their surroundings to prevent a sneak attack.
"coming."
Li Ziyu, who was resting with her eyes closed on the mountain, received the message from the dead. She suddenly opened her eyes and called out to Zhang Peng softly.
Zhang Peng, who was already nervous, suddenly tensed up when he heard this. He looked panicked in the direction of his fortress, but he couldn't see clearly. After waiting for a few minutes, he could vaguely see some black spots, and slowly looked towards the fortress.
The mobile fortress is close.
Gudu.
Zhang Peng's Adam's apple moved, he swallowed and his body became tense.
He is different from Li Ziyu. After coming to another world, he rarely fights with others. He takes the business route and values peace. He doesn't know much about fighting.
Li Ziyu stood up and came to Zhang Peng's side. He looked down at the approaching headhunters below with cold eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth with a mocking smile.
…
The leader of the head-hunting clan hunched over, moving forward step by step with gentle and silent steps, his eyes fixed on the mobile fortress, while the other head-hunting clan looked around with vigilance.
There are still a hundred meters to go.
What about the people in the building? Where did they go? Could it be that they ran away?
There had been no movement, which made the leader of the headhunters feel that something was wrong.
Even if you can't defeat them, you shouldn't just abandon the moving building and run away. The opponent also has a lot of manpower. Logically speaking, they will give it a try, but they are so close and they don't even look.
to anyone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The leader stopped and turned to look at the tribesmen behind him, with a look of anger on his face. He couldn't wait any longer, he was close enough!
"rush--"
The leader shouted loudly, stood up and accelerated, leading the way towards the mobile fortress ahead.
He couldn't expect others to charge first. After all, they were a tribe of headhunters. If they wanted to be the leader, they had to be brave enough to fight and kill, and take the lead. If they were afraid of death, others would not obey.
The headhunters at the rear followed the leader, making strange noises and letting go of their footsteps.
call out--
A whistling sound pierced the sky, and an arrow shot out from high in the mountain forest, reflecting the moonlight, with a cold and murderous intent.
The headhunters who were running behind saw the leader who was charging the most fiercely. He rose into the air and glided backward for a distance. His head exploded with blood flowers. Among the blood flowers, a white shadow flew out.
, and after penetrating two people in succession, he nailed the fourth person to the ground. At this time, the headhunter leader's body fell to the ground.
The several headhunters who were close behind staggered, stopped charging, and stared blankly at the leader who fell to the ground.
His face was rotten, his appearance could no longer be seen clearly, and there was a big hole in the center, making him dead.
silence.
The Head Hunters were stunned. They looked behind blankly and saw the fellow tribesman whose body was penetrated and died. They also saw the fellow tribesman behind who was nailed to the ground. His body was penetrated by an arrow that looked like a short spear.
He leaned against his body to prevent him from falling.
Where did the arrow come from?
No, no, why are the arrows so thick?!
Doubts emerged in the minds of the headhunters, and one of them murmured, "The leader is dead."
"The leader is dead?"
"The leader is dead!"
This sentence woke up the stunned headhunters. They couldn't help but exclaimed and were at a loss. They didn't even know where the enemy was.
call out--
The sound of piercing the sky sounded again, but this time it was no longer one arrow, but dozens of arrows flying from the sky.
Puff puff……
The defense that the Head Hunters are proud of is like tissue paper in front of the long bone arrows, which are easily penetrated, blood blooms, and lives are taken away one after another.
They already know the direction from which the arrow is coming, which is high up in the mountains!
When the arrows stopped, the headhunters gritted their teeth and changed direction. They had to kill those who fired cold arrows first.
But after running two steps, they stopped again, and they were on guard, as if facing a formidable enemy. Hundreds of skeleton warriors wearing armor, holding swords in one hand and shields in the other, silently blocked the front.
