Free Web NovelChapter 102: Chapter 96: Exceeding Expectations
The fletching was uniform and, like the shaft, flawlessly white. He ran a hand over it and found that it was, indeed, a thin sheet of bone polished to resemble a feather.
Li Ziyu’s mouth twitched. He couldn’t quite wrap his head around it. ’It’s called a White Bone Long Arrow, so does that mean every part of it has to be made of bone?’
The system had been right about one thing: this White Bone Long Arrow couldn’t just be shot—it could also be used as a Short Spear without any problem.
After examining the Longbow and Long Arrow, Li Ziyu suddenly had his doubts. ’Are these Skeleton Longbowmen really meant for shooting enemies? Are we sure they’re not supposed to be used as Crossbow Cannons?’
He figured that if he had a few hundred Skeleton Longbowmen, a Mobile Fortress like Liu Xingxing’s would never even get close. They could shoot it to smithereens from far away.
’Should I use Liu Xingxing’s Mobile Fortress for a little experiment...? Hmm, better not. He’s one of my own, after all. I should look out for him.’
Suppressing his curiosity, Li Ziyu began mass-producing White Bone Longbows and White Bone Long Arrows. He created 40 sets in total, then spent 20,000 units of Soul Energy to summon 40 Skeleton Longbowmen.
From within the fortress, 40 Skeleton Undead split off and silently walked into the Archer Training Camp.
Done. Now all he had to do was wait for their training to finish.
He couldn’t make a whole army of Archers, but he could still create some Skeleton Warriors! ƒrēewebnovel.com
Li Ziyu tapped his head, feeling that his thinking had grown rigid. Before, he had been constrained and couldn’t create more Warriors, but things were different now. He had Skeletons in spades!
After spending another 5,000 units of Soul Energy to summon 50 more High Level Skeleton Warriors, Li Ziyu finally stopped.
’Creating units is a blast, but I need to show some restraint.’
With nothing better to do, Li Ziyu opened the chat and found Conscience Merchant.
[Private Chat]
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: Where are you? How much longer?
After sending the message, he had to wait quite a while before receiving a reply from Conscience Merchant.
Conscience Merchant: Don’t even ask. The Headhunter Race is hounding me like a dog. The bastards are insane—they’ll follow me into any hole I crawl into. I think they have some special tracking method. I’ve shaken them off a few times, but they always manage to find me again.
Conscience Merchant: I checked. If I didn’t have these guys on my tail and came straight to your location, the earliest I could arrive is tomorrow evening.
Conscience Merchant: Don’t worry, I won’t lead the Headhunter Race to you. I’ll figure out a way to lose them first, then I’ll rendezvous with you.
’What?!’
’The Headhunter Race!’
’Aren’t those my dearest friends!’
Only then did Li Ziyu remember that Conscience Merchant was being tailed by a group from the Headhunter Race. He’d been so preoccupied with the Wraith Mountain Range for the past two days that he’d almost forgotten about the Merchant. Now, seeing the message, he couldn’t help but grin. ’Isn’t this perfect? I was just worrying about my Soul Energy supply, and now my dearest friends have come to visit.’
’Lose them? Why would he ever want to lose them? They’re coming from so far away just to deliver their heads! What a testament to our friendship! It would be rude not to accept such a generous gift.’ He hurriedly sent a message to Conscience Merchant.
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: Nonsense! What kind of crazy talk is that? The Headhunter Race? They’re practically my brothers, my dearest friends! How could you even think of shaking them off? No way! Bring them here! Bring every last one of them!
On the other end, Conscience Merchant stared at the message, completely dumbfounded. ’What the hell is this?!’
’Who am I? Where am I? What’s happening?’
’Is this Undead City Lord being serious, or is he just being sarcastic?’
After a moment’s hesitation, Conscience Merchant sent a message.
Conscience Merchant: Are you serious? This isn’t something to joke about. If you say bring them over, then I’m really bringing them.
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: Yes, yes, bring them all. I’ll be waiting.
Conscience Merchant: You better think this through. There are at least 500 of them chasing me. Can you handle that?
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: More than 500? That’s fantastic! Hurry up and bring them over. Message me when you get here, and I’ll provide backup.
Conscience Merchant: I have no idea what you’re planning, but if you say so, I’ll lead them right to you. I’m trusting you on this. Don’t you dare bail on me!
Don’t Want to Get a Driver’s License: Tsk, enough with the pointless chatter. I’m the Undead City Lord. My reputation is guaranteed!
Conscience Merchant couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he saw that message. ’Reputation, my ass. We’ve barely even interacted.’ However, when he thought about the relentless Headhunter Race hot on his heels, he gritted his teeth and decided to trust Li Ziyu anyway.
"Turn us around! Head for the coordinates!" Conscience Merchant closed the chat window and commanded the Gopher.
The Gopher Mobile Fortress immediately changed course, heading toward the Wraith Mountain Range.
