Under the moonlight, a dusty road appeared on the wasteland. With blue starlight, a mobile fortress made of bones was moving fast in the smoke and dust.
Moo——
The bighorn bulls roared and charged forward, but they were unable to completely shake off the monsters behind them. Fear prevented them from thinking more, and they instinctively rushed towards a place they thought was safe.
Li Ziyu held onto the windowsill, gritting his teeth. Of course, he wanted to catch up with the bighorn bulls as quickly as possible and get rid of them. After all, the skeleton engine consumed soul energy every minute. One or two minutes was no big deal, but over time, it would be really painful. His resources were not yet abundant enough to allow him to consume soul energy recklessly.
The undead walked behind Li Ziyu and passed on the latest information to him, "We've found an obstacle ahead, and the cattle have entered the obstacle. Should we continue the pursuit?"
Li Ziyu was stunned. He turned back to look at the undead with a strange look on his face. "What obstacle?"
"It's the woods," replied the ghost.
forest?!
Li Ziyu was stunned at first, then became surprised.
Oh my god, there’s an unexpected gain!
In the wilderness, it is easy to find wild grass, which is everywhere. However, it is more difficult to find wood and stone. Otherwise, he would not have exchanged a big hammer for stone. He really didn't expect that while chasing a herd of bison, he would actually find a forest. Is there any reason to let them go?
Wood and stone are all good resources. I want to build a warrior training camp, so I need these things. Okay, I want the bison, I want the wood, and the forest is mine!
"Keep chasing and try to eliminate them in the woods!"
Li Ziyu waved his hand and gave an order without any hesitation. The undead took the order and turned to leave.
There is only a small forest ahead with sparse trees and a small pond in the middle. It is a good habitat in the wilderness. Although there are not many trees, the mobile fortress cannot be driven into it and can only be parked outside.
When the mobile fortress stopped, the skeleton undead came down in groups and entered the woods. Soon, the cry of bighorn bulls was heard, and the sound contained fear, anxiety and anger, followed by the roar of the undead and the sound of fighting.
Li Ziyu, standing at the window, couldn't see what was happening inside because of the tree branches and leaves. He was anxious but didn't dare to go over. Just kidding, the undead was gored by the bull and nothing happened to him, but he was different. He was still a human being. If he was gored by the big bull's horns, he would be dead. For the sake of his life, he had better stay in the fortress honestly.
Safety.
As the trees shook, a fat and strong big-horned bull rushed out from the woods, mooing, with two skeleton undead hanging on its body. In a panic, the big-horned bull rushed towards the direction of the mobile fortress.
Behind it, a dozen skeleton undead chased out and threw the spears in their hands at the bighorn bull, piercing its body. The bighorn bull ran forward for a distance with the spears, then bent its front legs suddenly and fell to the ground.
The two skeleton ghosts hanging on the body came down, grabbed the bone knife, and stabbed it hard in the neck several times. Blood splattered, and the bighorn bull became completely motionless, and the sounds in the woods gradually disappeared.
Soon, skeletal undead appeared from the woods, in groups of three, five, or ten or so, dragging or pulling the hunted bighorn cattle to the mobile fortress.
"Three bison ran away. Should we chase them?" An undead came to report.
Still chasing?
Forget it, I can't bear to give up all that soul energy for the sake of three cows. Li Ziyu waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to chase them anymore. The cows could be let go, but the wood could not be let go.
"No need to chase, let's go cut wood, we need wood." Li Ziyu pointed at the forest and gave orders to the undead.
Just after transporting the corpse of the bighorn bull back to the mobile fortress, the undead set out again. This time they were not going hunting, but transformed into lumberjacks. However, these lumberjacks were quite unprofessional. They didn't even have an axe. If they wanted to chop down trees, they used either bone knives or machetes. Their efficiency was so low that it made people cry.
Fortunately, the undead don't need to rest and can keep chopping. It may be slower, but the advantage is endurance.
The undead were all sent out to cut down trees, and Li Ziyu had nothing else to do, so he began to count the spoils of this hunt - bighorn cattle.
A total of 30 bighorn bulls were hunted, including 14 adult bighorn bulls, 7 elderly bighorn bulls, and 9 calves. It was a good harvest. Li Ziyu was very satisfied. At least it was worth the soul energy he had paid. Next, he handed it over to the system to decompose the materials.
[Decompose Adult Bighorn Cattle +1, obtain Fresh Beef*100 units, Skeleton*5 units, Damaged Cowhide*1 piece, Soul Energy*8 units]
[Decompose Old Bighorn Cattle +1, obtain 80 units of fresh beef, 5 units of bones, 1 piece of cowhide, and 5 units of soul energy]
[Decompose a young Bighorn Bull +1, obtaining 20 units of fresh beef, 3 units of bones, 1 piece of cowhide, and 5 units of soul energy]
【break down……】
Wow, that’s quite a lot!
Li Ziyu looked at the prompt from the system and his eyes immediately lit up. Wow, the harvest was pretty good. He got 2140 units of beef, 142 units of bones, 30 pieces of cowhide, and 192 units of soul energy. What else could he want with this harvest?
The key is meat. This thing can be exchanged for more resources, such as bones, stones, and wood. Take it to a conscientious merchant, and 2 units of meat can be exchanged for 1 skeleton, which is more than 2,000 units of meat. Just thinking about the skeletons that can be exchanged makes me drool.
Hehehe, when the time comes, all the big bone wheels and small bone wheels will be installed. The more you install, the faster the acceleration!
There wasn't much soul energy, only slightly stronger than the previous Wasteland Wolf, but it was better than nothing. At least it made up for the consumed soul energy. It was a small profit, not a loss. After all, it was not an intelligent creature, but just an ordinary beast. It was great to directly give 50 units of soul energy to the Lizardman.
Li Ziyu had a vague understanding that soul energy reflects the strength of a creature's soul. If it can develop wisdom, its soul energy will far exceed that of wild beasts. There is a huge gap here. The more powerful the creature, the stronger its soul and the more soul energy it has.
Hunting the strong?
Now I can only think about it. If I really want to do it, I'd better forget it. I have a bunch of low-level skeletons under my command and they can't even defeat a ferocious beast.
Through chatting, Li Ziyu has roughly figured out the levels of monsters in this world. The most common ones are the wild beasts he hunts, which are not much different from the animals in his previous life. Above the wild beasts are the ferocious beasts, which are strong and intelligent. They generally look strange, and their combat power far exceeds that of wild beasts.
Above the ferocious beasts, there are also wild beasts and demonic beasts. According to the information in the chat channel, these two types of monsters, the wild beasts are warriors, they have intelligence, but relatively simple thinking, thick skin and flesh, and are generally larger in size, but they have special attacks.
Warcraft is equivalent to magician, a completely intelligent life form, with great differences in physique, and its own combat power is quite powerful. What is even more powerful is that they have special means of attack. As for what kind of means, the city lords in the chat did not say, but just reminded everyone that if you encounter a Warcraft or a wild beast, just run away, or you can just wait to die.
Wild beasts and demonic beasts are totally beyond our ability to deal with at this stage.
Just as Li Ziyu was daydreaming, the undead had already cut down several trees and transported them to the mobile fortress.
