Chapter 70: The Undead Race

Except for Su Xi, all team members were killed in action and left Longya Fortress.

Su Xi crouched on the tower top, looking at the giant undead before her, "I don't seem to have done anything, how did I wake you up?"

The undead looked at Su Xi, "Only when a descendant of the Longya Empire's royal family appears again can I be awakened."

The Undead Monarch knelt before Su Xi, "My Master!"

The other undead also knelt down in a dense mass.

Su Xi was stunned, 【Er Miao, he must have mistaken me for someone else, right?】

Er Miao replied: 【Host, the Longya Empire never existed on Weilan Xing; this is game plot.】

【It never existed?】 Su Xi paused, then lowered her eyelashes slightly, 【That's right, this is just a game, I actually took it seriously. Then what is going on with this undead?】

【The host triggered a special plot, causing the group dungeon to become S-rank difficulty.】

【What do I do now?】 Su Xi asked, 【Should I just off myself? I feel like this undead isn't easy to deal with.】

【Does the host want to self-terminate? This plot boss seems to regard the host as the sovereign he swore allegiance to; he will not attack the host.】

Su Xi looked at the undead, "What is your name?"

"Ge En Taiste," the undead replied.

Su Xi took a blank piece of paper and a pen from the System Space, and drew a talisman diagram in one stroke.

"This is a Master-Slave Curse. If you really want to follow me, write your name on it, and I will take you out of this game."

The undead wrote his name on the Talisman without hesitation.

The curse turned into a beam of spiritual light that shot into the sky, finally splitting into two parts, entering Su Xi's brow and Ge En's eyes respectively.

The eyes, which were like red lanterns, transformed into a jagged rune after the spiritual light entered!

The giant spirit robe vanished with a rustle... A tall man with black hair, red eyes, and deep, handsome features knelt with utmost piety before Su Xi, "My Master!"

【Ugh! It actually worked! This is my first time drawing this Master-Slave Curse.】

【Congratulations to the host for gaining a monarch-level undead Slave Servant.】

"You stay here for now. When I leave this game, I will summon you to come with me, is that okay?" Su Xi said to Ge En.

Ge En, however, fell silent.

Er Miao said to Su Xi: 【According to the plot, he waited here for countless ages, finally waiting for you, his sovereign. And now you are leaving and abandoning him; how do you think he feels?】

Su Xi: 【...】

"If you want to leave with me, there must be a lord here, right?"

"Very simple." Ge En waved his hand, and an undead in full armor flew toward him.

It knelt before him, "Greetings, Monarch!"

"From now on, you are the lord here." Ge En handed him a black dragon tablet, "I bestow a name upon you—Longya, to be the commander of Longya Fortress."

Longya took the dragon tablet, kowtowed to Ge En again, and then led the undead army into the underground and vanished.

Having shed his shackles, Ge En left Longya Fortress with Su Xi.

Su Xi walked along the street, occasionally looking up at Ge En, who was nearly half a head taller than her.

Players on the road would also size him up, especially female players; they had absolutely no resistance to such a tall, strong, and handsome man, their faces blushing and hearts racing with admiration.

"Why don't you go to the Ren Wu Jiao Yi Suo and use a Nita pod to change your appearance?" Su Xi said to Ge En.

But she quickly dismissed it, "Would it reveal your undead identity? Forget it, forget it, let's not take that risk."

Ge En ignored the gazes of passersby; he only had eyes for Su Xi. As long as she gave a command, he could do anything for her.

【Host, Hao Ming sent you a message asking if you have left Longya Fortress yet?】

Su Xi opened the system and discovered quite a few unread messages; they were all from players she had added while doing the Longya Fortress mission.

Basically, they were all asking if she had come out yet. She replied to them all uniformly—【Came out, luckily I had a Resurrection Card, I'm fine now.】

After Wang Laoshi received her message, he replied immediately—【You were the last one to come out; your strength is truly not to be underestimated. Do you have any inside information? The points are negotiable.】

Su Xi asked Ge En, who was at her side, "How is Longya's strength?"

Ge En replied: "After receiving my name, he has nearly 1% of my strength."

"... How much is your 1%, and what level of player is that equivalent to?" Su Xi hadn't fought him, so she didn't know how strong he really was.

However, the pressure he gave her at the time made her intuition tell her she couldn't beat him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Er Miao if she should just off herself...

Ge En replied: "Every player's level differs according to their own system. If it is the strength of my Master when using Nita, it is about the same as Longya."

Su Xi understood; it was roughly equivalent to a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage.

【Da Miao?】 Wang Laoshi sent another message to Su Xi.

Su Xi sent the video she recorded on the tower top of Longya Fortress to Wang Laoshi, 【You can decide how many points to give.】

After Wang Laoshi received the video, he immediately transferred points to Su Xi!

Er Miao received the points and said in surprise: 【Host, that crappy video is worth this many gold coins!? Should we go back and record another one?】

【Thank you, Wang Laoshi. Remember to call me if there's a good opportunity in the future!】 Su Xi sent a big smiley face.

Wang Laoshi also returned a smiley face, 【For sure, wait for my news.】

Ge En saw the video Su Xi recorded and looked at it carefully, "My undead form, I look like this?"

Su Xi chuckled, "You didn't know?"

Ge En shook his head.

"Then what about now? Are you still an undead?" Su Xi said, reaching out to pinch and squeeze his arm; it felt firm and solid.

A slight blush stained Ge En's fair face, "I am of the Undead race."

"Undead... race?"

"The Undead race has two forms. One is the appearance in the video; maintaining that form, time will stagnate. The other is this flesh-and-blood body, just like a normal human, which will age and die. If one wants to kill an Undead, one must force them to turn into a human. Only after killing them in that state, and then killing the undead form, will they truly perish."

Su Xi stared wide-eyed, "This really is a bit hard to kill."

"I am the only one left of the Undead race now." Ge En's eyes gazed at Su Xi like an abyss.

Su Xi's heart stirred, and in a flash of realization, she understood why she had triggered the special plot of Longya Fortress.

"What a coincidence, me too!"

Both were solitary travelers with nowhere left to return to!

Hao Ming invited Su Xi to eat.

Su Xi had just accepted an execution mission—【Collect 100 types of herbs.】 so she refused.

Ge En helped Su Xi do missions.

Su Xi took the opportunity to cultivate.

When she encountered an epiphany, she would even go into secluded meditation for a long time. Ge En would use Su Xi's player ID to accept execution missions or other tasks.

Sometimes when Hao Ming and the others invited Su Xi, Ge En would use Nita to take on Su Xi's appearance and go with them.
