Chapter 162: Chapter 116: Hunted Again
A volley of shots rained down every so often, sending wood chips flying from the Treasure-Hunting Catman Mobile Fortress. The Treasure Hunting Catman inside didn’t dare poke his head out.
He had been a Transmigrator for a while now and had seen a few battles alongside Li Ziyu. But whether it was goblins, Lizardmen, or the Headhunter Race, they all just charged in with swords. He’d rarely even seen a Ranged Attack.
It was like they’d suddenly jumped from an age of cold steel to an age of firearms, and he couldn’t adapt at all.
Stealing a glance at the sun sinking below the horizon, Liu Xingxing gritted his teeth. ’You guys asked for it! I’m using my ultimate!’
Great Summoning Technique: Reinforcements from the Boss, the Master of the Undead!
First, the preparation phase of the Great Summoning Technique (open the system).
Then, the incantation phase of the Great Summoning Technique (send a message: Boss! Save me!—).
Finally, the casting phase of the Great Summoning Technique (frantically rush toward the Bone Plate Platform to meet up with the boss).
...
The Undead Mobile Fortress, main tower in Hibernation Mode.
Li Ziyu had just woken up. He sat up, his eyes still heavy with sleep, and four figures immediately floated before him, pushing aside a Skeleton Undead that had been about to approach.
Yan Ji, holding a washbasin, was the first to float forward. "Master," she said softly, "it’s time to wash your face."
Spirit Maiden held a soft Beast Hide, ready to hand it to Li Ziyu once he was done.
"Oh, okay." Li Ziyu yawned. Without thinking, he subconsciously went to splash water on his face, but the moment his hand touched the water in the basin, he shivered.
’So cold!’
He pulled his hand back and drew a sharp breath. Seeing Yan Ji’s expectant expression, he dipped his fingers in again and winced. "Yan Ji, ah, this water... it’s a little chilly. Maybe we should wait?"
Yan Ji froze for a moment, then glanced down at the basin in her hands. With a helpless nod, she and Spirit Maiden retreated to the side.
After the two Fox Maidens withdrew, Mei Ji and Ice Princess immediately floated forward. Mei Ji held a cup of water, and Ice Princess held half a skull. "Master, please rinse your mouth."
"Alright." Li Ziyu took the cup and had a sip. His face froze. PFFFT! He spat the water out. Fortunately, Ice Princess was quick, raising the skull to catch the spray.
’It’s ice water! It’s still ice water! My teeth are freezing!’
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey." Li Ziyu spat out the last of the icy water, covering his mouth. He looked with a conflicted expression at the four Fox Maidens, who were all staring back at him with pitiful, wronged looks.
The Fox Maidens could touch physical objects for short periods, but their bodies were filled with Death Qi. As Wandering Souls, they were unnaturally cold. The water they brought was on the verge of freezing. How was he supposed to get ready with this?
Just as Li Ziyu was hesitating about what to say, a system notification suddenly popped up. His expression turned serious as he opened the private message.
[Private Message]
Treasure Hunting Star: Boss! Save me!—
Li Ziyu stroked his chin and replied: What kind of trouble did you get into this time, you little punk? Don’t tell me you went and dug up someone’s ancestral grave.
Treasure Hunting Star: No! It’s not my fault this time! I’m being hunted down!
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: Natives?
Treasure Hunting Star: No, it’s Transmigrators!
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: How did you manage to piss off other Transmigrators again? Who are they? What Race?
Treasure Hunting Star: I can’t tell what Race they are, but they have guns!
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: Guns? What kind of guns? You mean Long Spears?
Treasure Hunting Star: Firearms! They’re Firearms!
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: Holy shit! That stuff exists here? Where are you?
Treasure Hunting Star: I’m heading your way now. It’ll take me a little over an hour to get there. Boss, you gotta send backup, or I’m toast!
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: Keep heading this way. I’m sending a squad to intercept and support you!
Treasure Hunting Star: Roger that!
Closing the system interface, Li Ziyu’s expression darkened. He looked at the four Fox Maidens. "We’re heading to the surface. You four get back in your Soul Coffins for now. I’ll let you out again later."
The Fox Maidens understood the urgency of the situation. Without a word, they obediently returned to their Soul Coffins.
"Disengage Hibernation Mode! Raise the fortress! Prepare for battle!"
At Li Ziyu’s command, all the structures stirred to life. The Undead Architecture began to rise from beneath the earth.
The Minotaurs who had just returned were startled and looked around. ’Why are the Undead waking up so early? They usually don’t come out until after the sun has completely set. Did something happen?’
The commotion on the Bone Plate Platform immediately put the Minotaurs on high alert.
