The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to be in True Love

Chapter 70 - Reader: People who do not court disaster will not die

Someone embraced Du Ze from the back. He turned his head to look at Xiu behind him and asked: "What happened?"

"Not far from here is a small town. The people who escaped from this town brought the news to them. They assembled a force of over 100 people to attack the undead," said Xiu casually.

Speechless, Du Ze looked at the humans fighting the skeletons. Individually the humans were stronger than the skeletons, but they were outnumbered by the skeletons. The two sides were deadlocked for a while but when the humans had some casualties, the balance of power tilted to the undead's side. The skeletons can still fight on even when their bodies are injured or cut up, as long as their skulls were not crushed. Also, when the humans died their bodies were soon converted into skeletons and they joined the undead team to begin killing their former companions. As the number of humans decreased, their plight become more and more desperate until, finally, they started fleeing.

Xiu stopped the undead from chasing after them. He looked bored by this farce.

Du Ze examined the battlefield. After this battle, the number of skeletons was almost doubled and the village was now crowded with undead soldiers in formation. Old John grabbed some of the former militiamen to ask for information but these new undead could not speak; the only thing that came from their mouths were screams.

Du Ze thought this would be the end, but on the third day they spotted another group of around 500 militiamen. It looked as though all the men in town had come out to fight. The humans and the undead clashed and this time the humans easily prevailed. Their leader was a Swordsman; every time he swung his sword he killed one or two skeletons. He tore through the skeleton's line of defense and rushed towards Xiu - the news from the men who escaped from the previous battle reported that the leader of the undead was a horned and winged figure.

Seeing the Swordsman hurrying towards Xiu, a sentence came to Du Ze's mind: People who do not court disaster will not die

Xiu's patience has been exhausted and his slightly narrowed eyes were full of killing intent. With one blow of his hand, Old John crushed the swordsman's heart. This action was like a start signal and the demon sisters also started fighting. With the addition of Old John and the others, the enemy was quickly annihilated.

The skeleton mage shook its bony staff and clicked out a rather long spell. Black smoke enveloped the whole village. All the corpses turned into undead and rose from the ground. The Swordsman also staggered to his feet. The flesh of his body was not melted; under the spell of the undead, the Swordsman-level warrior became a walking corpse.

After the black mist had dissipated, nearly 700 undead stood before them. The speed of the undead's growth rate made Du Ze shudder with fear. The skeleton mage came to Xiu and rattled out the same sentence from before: [Lord Commander, please lead us to the Chaos Continent.]

This time, Xiu finally replied. He looked in the direction of the town, his vertical pupils fathomless, and said: "Advance."

The undead immediately carried out Xiu's instructions and began to move toward the town with Xiu walking at the back of the army. The town was not far, just half a day's walk away. By the time they arrived, the undead army had already killed off the town's populace. The men of the town had mostly been killed in the previous encounters, so the remaining humans were the old and the sick. Although they knew that this was just the tower's simulation, Du Ze still felt a little uneasy listening to the screams all around him.

When it was all over, Du Ze had lost count of how many undead there were. In addition to the skeletons, there were a small number of walking corpses. There was even a ghost. The skeleton mage went to Xiu and rattled out: [Lord High Commander, please lead us to the Chaos Continent.]
