Chereads / The Cultivation Tower System / Chapter 138 - Scout Party

Chapter 138 - Scout Party

4 days have passed since Zhihui's duel with Guyuk, meaning there is only one week left before Mors arrives with the Dwarfs. During these 4 days, no one try to get on Zhihui's bad side, those that saw how strong she is spread rumors around. Except for one weird Elf man who keeps following her around and trying to talk to her.

But she just ignored him as she continues making a wall for the Elf. Because the Green Sea has very few hills, mountains, or even forests that can serve as a natural barrier. No matter how long she makes the wall, it always is open to the enemy. As such she just made enough wall to protect the camp and a bit more.

After the wall was done, she then went farther away and started to make small fortresses and towers. This will function as points for the Elf to rally around and heal. Made from earth and metal. Since she used her skills to make these structures they aren't as strong if they were made by proper builders and materials.

But this should be good enough for the Elf. From she has seen the Elf use their bounded monsters as mounts and fire arrows from their backs. If they need a front line, then they would change to melee weapons but still ride their bounded beast. But those that have beasts that they can't ride will be stationary archers or melee frontlines.

Zhihui is sitting on top of one of the wall sections, her eyes scanning the large open plains of the Green Sea. In her hand is a bowl of soup, with pieces of meat and some vegetables that grow nearby. Since the Elf are a nomadic people, they don't have permanent farming land to grow crops on.

Instead, they take from the naturally grown vegetables and crops found on these large plains. Spreading the crops seeds so that next time they come to this place, more crops are waiting for them. But even like this, the Elf diet is heavy on meat. As every single part of a hunted monster is used to its fullest effect.

Sadly, no Elf would cook for her, so she has not gotten a taste of the Elf cultural dishes. So, she has to do with just basic meat and vegetable soup. She drinks her soup with a wooden spoon, all by herself as she continues to enjoy the weather and the view of the Green Sea.

'I really miss Mors'

It has been a month and one week since she last saw Mors, while they do keep in touch thanks to the earrings. Just hearing his voice was not enough for Zhihui. She misses his touch and stupid jokes. A smile appears on her face as she talks to herself.

"I think I have developed a crush on Mors"

The wind carries her massage as she takes another sip of her soup. The sound of someone walking up the stairs reaches her ears, she turns her head to the source of the sound as a male Elf made itself known. An Elf man with short green hair and green eyes. His face is extremely average, Zhihui finding it a bit ugly after seeing Mor's muscular face up-close for such a long time.

The smile on Zhihui's face turns into a frown, the Elf man in front of her has not stopped bothering her for the past 4 days. At first, she thought this guy wanted a duel with her. But after a few days of listing to his talks and ignoring him, she came to a dark realization. This guy had a crush on her, having the same type of eye that her past marriage candidates had.

Those that only look at her beauty and nothing else, their eyes full of lust.

'ugh….'

"Hello…Zhihui! I see you are very lonely up here so I came to keep you company!"

"Please leave me the fuck alone, I already told you I am married"

Tutei ignored what Zhihui said, thinking that she was just lying since he saw no ring on her finger. Tutei took a step closer towards Zhihui, only to be met with gravity around his neck increasing. His muscle and skin cave in, as it becomes harder to breathe.

Zhihui looks at him with deep hatred, using her Qi to control the gravity around his neck to choke him out. But she could not kill this man for no reason. Doing so will anger the Elfs and make things harder for her. As tears build up in the corner of Tutei eyes, she let gravity go back to normal.

He falls to the floor, holding his neck as he coughs up a bit. Breathing in as much air as he can. Drool coming from the corners of his mouth.

"Ugh…."

Zhihui walks away from the coughing Tutei, not wanting to be anywhere near close to that disgusting Elf.

'If Mors was here that poor guy would be dead by n…'

Zhihui stops walking as she looks at some moving black dots in the distance. Far away that it became really hard to make out any characteristics. But she got a bad feeling in her stomach as she saw those black dots. As she channels Qi to her boots, the mist started to envelop her. In the next second, she appears on top of one of many towers fortress away from the wall.

Now close enough to at least get a better view of the figures. Sadly, she had no scouting or mind skills. As she focuses her eyes, squinting as hard as she can. The moment she saw the figures she knew what she must do, she gathers the wind behind her as she jumps up. Making a wind platform behind her as she uses it to jump and fly through the air towards her target.

She makes her wand appear as she arrives above her target. Bellow, is a group of three large fat humanoid monsters. With very little clothing and using bone and wood weapons. Large white teeth protruded from their bottom lips, the monster had strong bulging fat muscles.

These monsters are riding on top of large board-like monsters. The boars have four large black tusks, with strong and sharp teeth. The monsters notice her presence but it was already too late. Using gravity to increase her fall, she uses the heat from the friction of air against her body to make lighting. As light surrounds her, she crashes against the ground.

Causing a large explosion as the monsters get electrocuted by her lighting. But the monsters around her did not die, as their fat absorb most of the lighting damage. The burnt smell of flesh coming from their bodies. Zhihui looks at the monsters, surrounded by them but not scared.
