The Deer Girl mounted her white deer and flitted to the city walls like a phantom. With tearful eyes, she clasped her hands and murmured a prayer for the dead. The sunlight shone on her face, making her look as impeccable as a fairy.
She was careful not to soil her clothes with blood.
But from the corpses, a sword suddenly plunged toward her. It had co from one of the terracotta soldiers erging from the corpses.
Bam!
The sword had pierced the Deer Girl, but the next instant, the sword stabbed into a neighboring terracotta soldier instead, causing dirt to spray everywhere.
“Grandson—” Miazova warned Shu Yichao. “She’ll be a tricky one. She’s at least capable of charm and spatial transference.”
The Deer Girl suddenly rushed toward them like a burst of wind.
“She’s coming! She definitely has speed enhancent too!”
Shu Yichao swung his modao down, his blade glowing brightly like a brilliant moon in the night sky. There was a flash of white light, and the Deer Girl was sliced into two.
“My attack fell empty?”
As a veteran player, Shu Yichao could tell right away that the Deer Girl was likely to be a shadow elent boss.
He quickly dodged to the side. At the sa ti, he unleashed lightning from his hands, blasting sand into the sky.
“Hu!”
Unable to draw close, the Deer Girl retreated with a gust of wind, reappearing at a location not too far away from Shu Yichao… but there were twelve of them this ti. She had cloned herself.
To Shu Yichao’s surprise, the boss continued to trash talk instead of attacking.
“You rciless murderer!” the Deer Girl hollered.
How can there be soone this heartless in the world?
There had been so many familiar faces in the city. They were warm-hearted, innocent friends who helped by patronizing my business and exposing those who sought to harm .
“Do you not have the slightest sympathy in you? Do you know how many husbands have lost their wives, and how many parents have lost their children? Can you imagine the misery they would be in for the rest of their lives…”
“Where did this idiot co from?!” Miazova retorted. “Can’t you see that our Anxi Protectorate-General is a good man through and through? He had sent entire families on their way so that they would have company on their road to the afterlife. It is a blissful reunion rather than a separation! What misery are you talking about?”
The Deer Girl was flabbergasted.
“Tsk!” Shu Yichao glanced at the ground.
Of the twelve silhouettes, only one has a shadow. Do I look blind to you?
He brandished his tal whip, unleashing a furious storm of black tal bits.
Caught off guard, the Deer Girl was perforated with countless holes as if a sheet of paper…
…No, that was indeed a sheet of paper!
Paper bits flew in the air as the Deer Girl’s voice echoed, “I’m not fond of violence, but I still learned so fundantal spells so that I won’t be helpless in the face of danger.”
A green light suddenly shone in the desert like a blossoming Queen of the Night flower.
Bam bam bam bam!
The terracotta soldiers suddenly exploded as if they had been stuffed with gunpowder, and dust scattered everywhere.
The wind relayed the Deer Girl’s voice, “Retribution will befall you if you continue to do evil. It’ll be too late for regret by then.”
As the voice drifted away, the Deer Girl and her white deer vanished into thin air as if she had never been here.
“I’m too kind. I gave a person like that a chance to turn over a new leaf…” the Deer Girl mumbled with a soft sigh softly as she departed.
“…Trying to escape? Do you think I’d let you? ” Shu Yichao glanced at the minimap, where he saw a red dot swiftly fleeing. “Attack, my army! Chase her!”
“Darned grandson!” Miazova shouted. “Be careful. It might be a trap!”
It was now certain that the woman was a Chosen One, an enhanced one on top of that. The consciousness of the world was looking after her; it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the world revolved around her.
It might be disadvantageous for Shu Yichao to recklessly give chase, but, as usual, he went completely deaf when there was a kill on the line.
“This darned grandson! He’ll be the death of one day!”
…
A white deer was leisurely strutting in the desert. The Deer Girl sat on the white deer with a head lowered in disappointnt.
“Why is that so?”
She couldn’t understand why her spells had all failed today; be it her graceful dance, her euphonious bell, or her prayers for the dead, nothing could appeal to the youth’s conscience. The youth was blind to her charms, be it her intelligence, beauty, kindness, or unyielding spirit…
All nobles had always treated her with utmost courtesy, never resorting to violence with her.
Yet, that Anxi Protectorate-General didn’t hesitate to swing his modao down on her as if she was a pest to be eliminated.
How unreasonable!
“Haaa!” The Deer Girl patted the white deer’s fur as she sighed. “Whitey, why do you think that’s the case?”
The white deer looked at her with innocent eyes while chewing on beans.
“Hmph!” The Deer Girl hurled her fist at the sky. “Just you wait! I’ll properly take care of you the next ti we et!”
Squawk! Caw!
A cacophony could be heard in the sky.
“Hm?”
The Deer Girl raised her head, only to see a huge flock of birds in the sky.
Cinereous vultures, Marabou storks, Himalayan vultures, bearded vultures…
These were scavenger birds. Even non-scavenging birds like eagles and crows had joined the mix too. They had co from all around the world, gathering here together to share a feast.
The birds quivered in excitent as soon as they saw the Deer Girl, and their squawking reverberated in the desert.
“What are they doing?”
The Deer Girl was baffled, but she soon received a warning from the white deer.
“Whitey, you’re saying that they are reporting to soone?”
But who are they reporting to?
I have heard about pigeons and eagles delivering letters, but I have never heard of people using vultures and crows to send a ssage…
While she was making sense of the situation, there was a violent jolt from the distance. The flocks of birds parted, opening a path for an army of undead troops mounted on flying lions and pegasi to fly through.
“This is bad!” The Deer Girl was horrified. She patted the white deer and exclaid, “Whitey, we need to flee!”
“Flee?” Shu Yichao arrived at the scene. Eyeing the conspicuous red dot in the middle of the desert, he raised his tal whip and sneered, “Where do you think you can go?”
Bam!
Cataclysmic lightning mixed with black tal bits rained from the sky, charring the desert’s yellow sand black.
“How terrible!”
The Deer Girl had no way to deal with Shu Yichao, especially when he was flying in the sky, so she took out a talisman and plastered it on the white deer. There was a flash of green light, and the white deer morphed into a streak of white light and vanished from sight.
But… it was in vain.
Before the Deer Girl could catch a breath after shaking off Shu Yichao, she heard weird cawing sounds in the sky yet again, and Shu Yichao arrived with his undead army shortly after.
“How is this possible?!”
The horrified Deer Girl attempted the sa trick, using her talisman to escape again.
But…
“Hasn’t he heard of forgive and forget? That fellow is too narrow-minded!” the Deer Girl cried with gritted teeth when the undead army appeared yet again.
She was descending into panic.
After so thought, she made up her mind and said, “Whitey, head in this direction!”
…
Over at Yizhou, the Tibetan soldiers stationed on the city walls stared fearfully at the distance. They knew a terrifying undead army was unleashing a calamity in the desert, and it was only a matter of ti before it arrived at their city.
The city lord had ordered the closure of all city gates. He even personally took charge on the city walls to stop the residents from fleeing.
“Hm?”
A soldier rubbed his eyes, having spotted a flash of white light. He took a closer look and finally saw the true nature of the white light.
It was a masked lady wearing a green dress, riding on a white deer.
“It’s the Deer Girl!” the soldier exclaid in delight. “We’re saved! The Deer Girl has co to save us!”
“Hold on! What’s that?!”
