Late at night, Li Ziyu stood by the window of the main building, looking out at the night scene of the wasteland.
The Tauren had gone to bed early, leaving only embers on the bonfire. The sound of digging could still be heard in the swamp cemetery. More than two thousand skeleton undead were happily digging the ground and sending the excavated bones back to the fortress. However, today's harvest was destined to be incomparable to the previous ones. Most of the bones had been dug out by them, and now it was basically the end.
The night wind blew, bringing a cool breeze. Behind Li Ziyu, 10 high-level skeleton warriors stood silently.
From the outside, they only had armor and helmets more than low-level skeleton warriors. Li Ziyu asked them to fight with the low-level skeleton warriors, and they easily defeated the low-level skeleton warriors. It was just unknown how they would perform on the battlefield.
We will move to another place tomorrow. This swamp cemetery has dried up and there is no point in digging further. If it were in the past, he would not leave until the swamp cemetery was dug clean. Now with Liu Xingxing, finding resource points has become easier and there is no need to worry about one location.
After summoning 10 high-level skeleton warriors, Li Ziyu added 20 intermediate-level skeleton warriors and 30 low-level skeleton warriors. He used the remaining skeletons to summon ordinary skeleton undead, bringing the number of skeleton undead to 3,000, and threw them all into the swamp cemetery.
Time passed, night passed, morning dawned, and the Fortress of the Dead went into dormancy mode.
The sun rose, and the Minotaur and Liu Xingxing woke up, starting a new day.
…
For the Tauren of the Tab tribe, this was a normal day. They woke up normally, worked normally, and the adult Tauren went outside to look for food and materials. The hardy children ran and played around, and the older Tauren sat in the sun, watching the children happily and doing what they could, just like the tribe before, monotonous, ordinary but happy.
Liu Xingxing did not go out treasure hunting today. He had already found many treasure locations. There was no point in looking for more. It would be better to wait for his boss to finish digging the swamp cemetery before going treasure hunting. In addition, the information from the conscientious businessman yesterday made him feel uneasy. He dared not move and stayed where he was and kept company with the Minotaur.
A Minotaur child, who was playing, accidentally looked up and saw dust and smoke billowing in the distance. He pointed at the dust and turned around and shouted, "Tastulin, look what that is!"
Tastulin is mentally mature and won't play with children. He usually finds a place to practice his combat skills. When he heard the child's cry, he turned around with confusion and his expression changed instantly.
"Hurry back to the tribe! Someone is coming!"
"What about you?"
"I'll go find someone!"
The children in the wilderness are not stupid. If they want to survive in such a chaotic place, they have their own way of survival. Those children listened to Tastuling's words and turned around without hesitation and ran towards the tribe, while Tastuling ran towards Liu Xingxing's fortress.
Liu Xingxing was on the roof at this time, lying on a reclining chair, swaying back and forth. There were a lot of wild fruits beside him, and he looked free and relaxed.
"Let me in! Liu Xingxing!"
Hearing the noise below, Liu Xingxing moved his ears, sat up, and looked down in confusion. As a result, he saw Tastuling, who was blocked by the cat man and shouting at the fortress.
"Tasturing? Why are you here? Don't stop him, let him in." Liu Xingxing shouted to the two cat people on the roof.
"Look over there!" When Tastuling saw Liu Xingxing, he immediately pointed to a place.
Liu Xingxing looked in the direction Tasturing pointed, and his eyes suddenly bulged. "Is this... a storm?"
"I understand. You can let your people come to my fortress to avoid the storm!" Liu Xingxing stuck his head out again and shouted to Tastuling.
storm?
What storm? Didn’t he see it clearly?
Tastulin frowned and shouted in a louder voice, "Look carefully, that's not a storm, it's someone coming!"
Liu Xingxing was stunned, then stood up and looked into the distance. He didn't look carefully just now and only saw billowing smoke and dust. But when he looked carefully this time, he found something wrong. In the smoke and dust, there was a clear line that continued to extend in his direction.
As a modern man, his knowledge could not be compared with that of the indigenous people who had lived in the wilderness for a long time. If it were not for Tusturing's reminder, he might not have been able to distinguish it from such a long distance.
Making such a big fuss doesn't seem like a good idea!
Combined with what Li Ziyu said to him last night, Liu Xingxing immediately became alert and shouted at Tastuling, "Don't leave, wait for me downstairs!"
After shouting, he jogged down the fortress and met Tastulling outside.
"What should we do now?" Liu Xingxing asked while panting.
"This..." Tastuling was speechless and looked at Liu Xingxing helplessly.
You ask me, who should I ask? I'm just a minotaur kid!
How would I know what to do in this situation? If I knew, why would I come to you?
Fortunately, Liu Xingxing also realized that it was not very useful to ask a child such questions. Although he was also very young, he was not a child after all. Even if a decision had to be made, he should be the one to make it.
Suppressing his panic, Liu Xingxing finally thought seriously, "They're still some distance away from us, and we don't know their intentions. Let's wait and observe. If they're enemies, then we'll have to wake up the boss."
Tastulin thought about it and nodded. There was really no other way now. The adult minotaurs had all gone out, and the only ones left on the bone platform were the older minotaurs and a group of children. Looking at the human in front of him... he would probably just be a serving of food in a fight, and the two cat people under his command would be just desserts and snacks.
The only one who has the ability to solve the problem is the Lord of the Undead, but the Lord of the Undead sleeps during the day. We can't wake up the Lord of the Undead without being sure of anything, right?
It is much more convenient to watch from upstairs than from the platform. Although it is only a two-story building, it is at least higher and you can see farther. Liu Xingxing brought Tastuling to the top of the building, and the two of them stared at the distance nervously.
There was a black dot in the distance, getting closer and closer to them. It could be vaguely seen. Tastulling was startled and asked with some doubt, "It seems to be a moving fortress. Is it your companion?"
Liu Xingxing stared at the mobile fortress in the distance, gritting his teeth. "It's a mobile fortress, yes, but it's not our companions, it's the enemy! Enemy attack!"
He recognized that the one rushing towards them was not someone else, but the Goblin Fortress who had chased him before. This guy actually dared to make a comeback. The lesson the boss gave him last time was not enough.
Recognizing that it was an enemy, Liu Xingxing no longer hesitated and immediately opened the system and sent a message to Li Ziyu.
In the main building of the Undead Fortress, Li Ziyu, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the alarm sound coming from the system in his mind and sat up suddenly.
Messages flashed before his eyes.
Treasure Hunter: Boss, help! Enemy attack!
Treasure Hunter: The Goblins are coming again!
Um?
Li Ziyu shook his head and slapped his face hard, finally coming to his senses. Looking at the two messages sent by Liu Xingxing, anger appeared on his face.
