The lizardman leader has told Am everything he knows. He is just a small leader of the reconnaissance team. Only Am, the tribal leader, can make the decision on what to do with the undead.
After hearing the words of the lizardman leader, Am fell into deep thought. Some people still doubted the undead, but he did not doubt it. Many people regarded the undead as legends, but the fact was that many legends were true and were passed down because someone had really seen them. Although they might be exaggerated, it did not mean that they did not exist.
Even if the Lizardman leader knows the legend, he only knows part of it. Only leaders like Am know the entire legend. Only the first half is passed on. In fact, there is a second half to the legend about the undead, but the second half is easy to cause panic, so only the top leaders know it.
When the undead appear, there will be a great disaster, and when death comes, there will be silence.
This is a warning from the ancestors, or a prophecy. The undead are far from being as simple as the lizardman leader thinks. They are synonymous with disaster, a terrifying existence, and are inherently opposed to living beings.
Am had never thought that in his life he would have the opportunity to know about the dead and even see the dead with his own eyes. He was not happy at all.
But now the undead have appeared. Closing your eyes and pretending not to see them is deceiving yourself. The wilderness does not allow cowardice. Cowardly lives will become food for other creatures. It is the law of the jungle. Am understands this too well. He needs to face the undead squarely.
What the lizardman leader said was not enough. He needed more information and needed to truly see the undead, and now was an opportunity.
According to what they had seen before, those undead didn't seem to be very strong, which meant that they had a chance, a chance to destroy those undead!
If they can eliminate those undead spirits, the warning from their ancestors will be resolved, and all disasters and deaths will disappear. They can still live peacefully in this wilderness, continue to rob and plunder, and live happily.
We can't allow the undead to continue to linger in the wasteland!
Am's eyes became firm and sharp. He stood up and looked at Ata, "Get ready to go. Let's go and see those terrifying creatures in the legend."
As the leader of the tribe, Am has a very high prestige among the lizardman bandits. When he first became the leader, their tribe was really poor and dilapidated, but under Am's leadership, they lived better and better, and they were thriving. The poverty of the past was no longer visible.
The lizardman bandits will not question the decisions made by Am, they will just follow. If Am says to fight, then they will fight. If Am says to retreat, then they will retreat without hesitation.
The weapons were raised high, and the lizardman bandits hissed in response to Am's voice. With a wave of his hand, the entire army moved out.
The first place they arrived at was where the lizardman leader had fought just now. Several lizardmen who were good at tracking explored the surrounding area and found that the traces of the battle had been consciously erased, but there were clear indentations on the ground, indicating that something had passed here.
According to the Lizardman leader, that should be the movable Skull Mountain.
"Chase!"
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Am gave the order without hesitation and led his men to chase along the indentation.
As they were chasing, Am suddenly raised his hand and asked all the lizardmen to stop. He bent down to look at the indentation on the ground, then looked around with some confusion.
The indentation that was originally moving straight forward suddenly became messy here, turned, and even went around in circles. What is going on? What happened?
"Am, have we been discovered?" A lizardman who was good at tracking came over, touched the indentation on the ground, and asked softly.
"Impossible, they shouldn't have discovered us, but the undead may have guessed that we would chase them, so they are deliberately creating confusion!" Am's pupils shrank into vertical pupils and he said affirmatively.
"So what should we do now?" the tracking lizard man continued to ask.
"Since you want to avoid our pursuit and mess up your tracks, it will definitely slow down your speed. We should not be far away from those undead. Spread out and look for them. Once you find them, don't fight to the death. Blow the bone whistle and wait for our support." Am assessed the situation and said in a deep voice.
His order was quickly passed down. The lizardman bandits were no strangers to such pursuits and searches, and they quickly divided into pursuit teams of 5-10 people and rushed into the wilderness.
Am stood up and continued to chase along the track left by the mobile fortress with Ata and several other lizardman bandits.
…
The skeleton undead mobile fortress was still wandering aimlessly in the wasteland. Under the moonlight, several undead staggered to the fortress, entered the fortress skillfully, and headed to the main building of the castle.
Seeing the undead entering the main building, Li Ziyu's spirits suddenly lifted. There was news, and it depended on whether it was good news or bad news.
The undead stopped in front of Li Ziyu, its soul fire flickered, and it sent out a message.
"Spot the homeless."
“A lot of people, scattered.”
Although the message was simple, Li Ziyu already understood what the undead meant and couldn't help but wave his fist. It was so good, it really went in the direction he expected.
If those guys gathered together, there was no need to think too much, they would just run away and it would be impossible to fight. Even if they won, there would be considerable losses. But now that they are scattered, it is much easier to deal with them, and a guerrilla attack will be enough.
"Recall the other undead and don't alarm the wanderers."
"The hunt is about to begin."
Li Ziyu put on a grim smile and gave orders.
After his order was given, a brief soul fluctuation erupted in the mobile fortress, which flashed by and was inconspicuous in the vast wilderness. This is a unique way of information transmission between the undead, transmitting information through soul energy without making any sound. The information will be directly transmitted into the soul fire, which is confidential and efficient.
The message was brief, but the meaning was clear: "Return, and do not be discovered."
The undead closest to the mobile fortress quickly received the information, and using their soul fire as a transit station, the information was spread again to the skeleton undead farther away.
In the process of information transmission, the soul fire of each skeleton undead is a transit station, and the soul energy forms a network between them, which can transmit information quickly, efficiently and confidentially.
Of course, the information transmitted in this way should be simple. The more complex the information, the more troublesome it is to transmit, because it consumes more soul energy and may even cause damage to the skeleton undead.
The skeleton undead who received the information immediately turned and moved towards the location of the mobile fortress, while at the same time using their search capabilities to avoid other living creatures around them.
Li Ziyu was not idle either. He asked the mobile fortress to adjust its direction to meet the returning skeleton undead and organize the forces as soon as possible. Every few distances, a few skeleton undead returned to the fortress to strengthen their strength and bring back more information.
They have discovered the traces of the lizardman bandits and judged their strength through their life breath. They told Li Ziyu which lizardman bandits are stronger and which ones are weaker, making it easier for the city lord to make a judgment.
