Looking at the ground in front of him filled with wooden sticks, Li Ziyu's mouth twitched and he pointed, "Do you see those sticks? What do you think they look like? Do they look like tombstones?"
tombstone?
Liu Xingxing looked over and then shook his head. "Brother, stop joking. Tombstones are all made of stone. How can you use wooden sticks as tombstones? How can such a neat pile of wooden sticks be... a tombstone..."
The voice became lower and lower as he spoke. Liu Xingxing had already reacted. He swallowed his saliva with a gulp and looked at Li Ziyu with an awkward smile.
Li Ziyu slapped his forehead, his face full of helplessness. "You're really good. You found the ancestral grave of the indigenous people while treasure hunting. There are definitely many corpses underneath, but do you dare to dig? I don't dare to dig."
Li Ziyu had encountered this kind of cemetery before, and he also knew that any indigenous tribe that had such a cemetery was powerful. After all, the wilderness was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Daring to build such a conspicuous ancestral tomb meant that they had the ability to defend the cemetery. That was where their ancestors lived, and the indigenous people respected their ancestors very much.
Li Ziyu glanced at Liu Xingxing who was smiling awkwardly. This guy is really not an easy person to deal with. The first time he went treasure hunting, he dug himself out. The second time he went treasure hunting, he wanted to dig up someone else's ancestral grave. Is that a good thing?
Otherwise, just give up on this thing, his brain is a bit not working well.
"I, I have other treasure locations!" Liu Xingxing shouted hurriedly when he noticed the malicious light flashing in Li Ziyu's eyes.
"Okay, I'll trust you again. Lead the way." Li Ziyu sighed and shook his head.
The mobile fortress started up again and headed towards the wasteland.
Shortly after the moving castle left, several lizardmen emerged from the darkness. One of them was Am, who was almost killed by Li Ziyu before. He looked deeply in the direction where the moving fortress left, turned around and ran towards the tribe.
…
"Hahaha... Undead? Am, you are joking again."
"Amu, stop teasing us. The undead don't exist. They're just legends."
"Even though I don't know who killed your people and left you in such a miserable state, you can't keep using the undead as an excuse."
In the dungeon, torches and bonfires lit up the entire cave as bright as day. Am knelt on one knee with his head lowered. The lizardmen around him laughed at him loudly and did not take him seriously at all.
It’s true that Eminem was once a tribal leader, but so what?
Not to mention that the tribe that Am belongs to is a small tribe with few people. Even if it is a large tribe, it has declined now. There are not many young and middle-aged people left. Even he, the leader, has fled to his own tribe like a stray dog, and can only guard the ancestral graves. What dignity does such a leader have? He is just a clown.
Faced with the ridicule, Am remained silent, without any intention of defending himself. He lowered his head and waited quietly for the tribal leader to speak. It didn't matter whether others believed him or not. What mattered was what the leader said.
After the battle with the undead, he knew that his tribe was finished. There were not many young and middle-aged people to begin with, and even fewer after the battle. The surviving lizardmen were not enough to support the tribe, and it would quickly die out.
Rather than disappearing silently in the wilderness, he might as well give it a try, so he migrated with the entire tribe and joined the current Lizardman tribe. This is a large tribe with a total population of nearly 100,000, which is far beyond the reach of his tribe.
The indigenous people in the wilderness admire the strong and hate the weak. Am, who surrendered after being defeated, was obviously a weakling. They did not treat Am well, especially when Am kept talking about the undead. They did not believe it at all. Bullshit undead, there were no undead, it was all made up.
Am lost his status and everything, and was assigned a sinecure to guard the tribe's ancestral tomb. Unexpectedly, he saw the castle of the undead again tonight. The fire of revenge burned in his heart. If it weren't for the undead, he would still be living happily, roaming in the wilderness, instead of guarding the tomb.
The lizardman leader, who was sitting on a large leather chair, stared at Am with his pupils erect. After a long time, he raised his hand and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. All the lizardmen looked at him quietly and restrained their smiles.
"Amu, you failed last time, and I took you in out of kindness. This time, I will be merciful again. I will send warriors to help you prove yourself."
"Since you said there are undead, then bring them back to me. I will send 500 lizardmen warriors to follow you and defeat the undead you mentioned!"
As soon as the lizardman leader spoke, the surrounding lizardmen looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes. Until this moment, they still did not believe in the existence of the undead, but the words of the lizardman leader could not be refuted, and no one in the tribe could question his authority!
Although the lizardmen were somewhat dissatisfied, no one spoke. Am raised his head with a determined light in his eyes. 500 lizardmen warriors, you can give it a fight!
He didn't dare to ask for more. The leader had already given him the chance. If he didn't know how to behave, he would probably be buried in the cemetery and have someone else guard him the next moment.
"Thank you, Chief."
Seeing that Am was so understanding, the lizardman leader nodded with satisfaction and asked the people around him to gather 500 lizardman warriors to follow Am into battle.
Soon, 500 Lizardmen warriors followed Am out of the dungeon and into the dark wilderness. Am observed the ground and found the mark left by the moving castle. He found a direction and gave chase.
…
"Brother, why do we have to separate?"
Liu Xingxing looked at Li Ziyu in confusion and asked, wouldn’t it be better to connect the two castles together? He felt it was a good idea. It would be safer, and they would have to hunt for treasure next. How could they do it if they were separated?
Li Ziyu glared at him unhappily. "It's you who caused all this trouble," he said. "There are guards at the cemetery. We've been discovered. I suspect they'll chase us. Let's separate now to be safe."
"Brother, I was wrong. Please don't abandon me..." Liu Xingxing instantly became cowardly and said pitifully.
Li Ziyu's face twitched. Damn, it would be fine if you were a beautiful girl with long black hair, but it's ridiculous for a grown man in his twenties to be so pitiful with me. You don't have any masculinity at all!
Well, after all, he is my own younger brother, I can’t just ignore him.
"Just run your own thing, I'll take care of the rest. I'll contact you when it's safe." Li Ziyu said helplessly.
"Brother, you are so nice to me..." Liu Xingxing was so moved that he almost cried.
"Tsk, I want to turn you into a ghost." Li Ziyu smacked his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and his eyes turned dangerous when he looked at Liu Xingxing.
"Um, I'll leave right away." Liu Xingxing's face turned serious, and he turned around and ran away without giving Li Ziyu a chance to say more.
I dare not say anything more. If I say more, I will lose my life. Can’t you see that the undead around me are staring at me. I want to die.
Just now at the cemetery, Liu Xingxing didn't notice anything, but the undead detected the breath of life, which means that there are guards around the cemetery. Since there are guards, it is impossible that they did not discover them. Li Ziyu dare not bet on what the other party will do next, so he plans to run away from Liu Xingxing to be prepared.
