Chapter 74: Headhunters



After pondering for a long time, Li Ziyu sent the coordinates of the treasure place he was heading to to the conscientious businessman.

After thinking about it, I still feel that I should meet a conscientious businessman. If we can form an alliance, life will be much better. After all, a conscientious businessman is a businessman who has a lot of resources in his hands. It is good to be able to get more materials.

Furthermore, considering that the wilderness is in chaos now and the indigenous people are targeting the traversers, uniting to fight is also a way out.

After sending the coordinates to the conscientious businessman, Li Ziyu no longer cared about him. Did the conscientious businessman really want to cooperate, or was he planning to deceive him? Once he arrived at the treasure hiding place, he would know everything.

In order to save soul energy, the mobile fortress did not start the skeleton engine, but just swayed slowly in the wilderness at a low speed, looking like an old car. Although the buildings were tall and all made of bones, the slow speed gave people a feeling of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

The people who were tracking and spying on the mobile fortress finally couldn't help it. In the quiet wilderness, the sounds of whistles and birdsong were heard, and there were responses from all directions.

The moment he heard the sound, Li Ziyu stood up and walked to the window, looking at the wilderness in the moonlight. Black dots appeared one after another from the sand, under the shadows of stones, or simply not hidden, approaching the mobile fortress.

Those black spots were getting closer and closer to the fortress. Li Ziyu could already see their appearance clearly. He frowned slightly, and a puzzled look appeared on his face.

What kind of race is this? I’ve never seen it before and can’t tell.

According to the information given by the undead, the people surrounding the fortress were humans, but Li Ziyu felt that they were more like sub-humans.

Similar to humans, but different. They are about 1.7 meters tall and as thin as bamboo poles. Not only are their bodies thin, but their arms and legs are also thin. They have a round bald head on top of their slender necks, no hair, and very long arms that hang down to their knees.

"The Minotaur requests an audience with the city lord." A skeleton undead came to Li Ziyu and reminded him.

"Let them in." Li Ziyu still stared at the group of guys approaching the fortress and gave the order casually.

The undead led Mou Mou and Tastuling into the main building.

"What's the matter?" Li Ziyu asked without turning his head.

"My Lord City Lord, the Headhunters are coming to kill us. Should we fight them?" Although Li Ziyu had his back to him, Tastuling still saluted and spoke.

"The Headhunters?" Li Ziyu turned around and looked at Tastuling in surprise. He didn't expect that the Minotaur would actually know these guys.

"Yes, the Headhunters." Tastuling nodded, and seeing that Li Ziyu didn't seem to understand, he began to explain.

In the wilderness, there are some bully races, such as lizardmen and goblins. You say they are strong, but their strength is limited. You say they are weak, but they are not really weak. They are good at stirring up trouble and bullying small tribes.

The Headhunters also belong to this kind of bully race, and are the best among them. Normally, bully races do not attack each other. After all, family members know their own business.

But the headhunters are an exception. They don't care what tribe you are. Once they set their sights on you, they will start fighting without mercy and will charge fiercely.

What’s even more interesting is that these guys are really human beings, just as the undead reported, but they have mutated.

The reason for the mutation is that these guys have very bad habits. They eat everything and are real "cannibals". They will eat the corpses of the tribes they attack. This behavior has led to mutations and made them what they are now.

The reason why they are called the Headhunters is because they have the habit of cutting off the heads of their enemies and pinning them around their waists, or wearing them and hanging them on their bodies as decorations.

This... somehow feels quite suitable for my undead.

After all, the soul fire of the undead is in the skull. The headhunters have the habit of using skulls as decorations. They have to hang the skulls of the undead on their bodies. Once they go to the battlefield, the decorations will be alive, chattering and roaring like souls. Are you afraid?

The headhunters have existed in the wilderness for a long time. They had also triggered encirclement and suppression because of their wanton killings. However, it was ineffective. These guys were very good at hiding. They would hide when they were encircled and suppressed. Even if some of them were killed or injured, it would not cause any damage to the tribe. After a while, they would appear in groups again.

Not only are they difficult to encircle and suppress, they are also difficult to kill. No one knows what is going on with the Headhunters, but their evolution speed is amazing, and they give the wasteland races a big surprise from time to time.

According to human physique, the meat of many races is inedible and is highly poisonous, but for some unknown reason, the Headhunters broke this rule and ate everything anyway. Perhaps it was because they became immune to it after eating so much.

After all, it has been eaten by more than a dozen generations, and those who are not immune have died long ago.

What Li Ziyu couldn't understand was why the headhunters targeted him?

My mobile fortress doesn't look like it has any meat on it. Could it be that these guys have changed their taste and are no longer eating meat, but bones instead?

He thought of a possibility and clicked on the system's private chat interface.

Don’t want to take a driving test: You said you were being targeted, who was targeting you?

Conscientious Businessman: Even if I tell you, you may not know. Have you heard of the headhunters?

Don’t want to take a driving test: Hey, isn’t this a coincidence? Not only have I heard it, I’ve also seen it.

Conscientious Merchant: ...Why do I have such a bad feeling? Are you being besieged by the Headhunters?

Don’t want to take a driver’s license test: Guess what, I was actually besieged by the headhunters.
