The Great Worm Lich

Tina’s kind of direct teasing exclusive to Western girls made Zhang Lisheng, who had become the Rank-8 Wizard, to feel inevitably incited. Noncommittally, he said with a smile. “Tina, the explanation of being reborn into a baby is not like what you think…”

He allowed the girl to throw a hundred-dollar bill on the table and then walked out of the cafe with their fingers laced together.

Because of the Christmas holiday, half of Stanford’s campus bus had stopped operating. However, the ban on parking at the same central campus had become extinct.

The two walked hand in hand for a while and went to an empty space in front of a teaching building close to the cafe before entering a Beetle.

The girl started the car and looked at his boyfriend gently, “Baby, your roommate should have gone home by now, so shall we go to your dormitory or go…”

“Go to Kmart One, I have a great house near Silicon Valley.”

“Oh, as I expected, but don’t you think it would be more exciting to go to your dormitory, or we can just ‘relax’ here directly. Do you still remember? Our first time was in a car too…” Tina suddenly came up with a strange idea and her hand even reached out towards the softness under Zhang Lisheng’s waist.

“But this is just a beetle… Oh hell, Tina! If we continue to go on, I might even turn this car into a pile of scrap iron later.”

“According to Sheila’s experience, as long as we know how to use the space of a two-rows car properly, we can get a lot of ‘varieties’ out of it. Relax, baby, just leave everything to me…” When the girl heard Zhang Lisheng’s complaint, she put down the backrest of the co-driver seat and shortly after, the blue beetle car parked on the empty campus began to shake gently.

The next three consecutive days were all full of blissful love-making. The young man temporarily put everything aside and concentrated on accompanying his girlfriend to go around visiting Silicon Valley. Now and then, they would make love to each other, until the two of them returned to New York’s JFK International Airport together on the day Tina booked the returning flight.

As a VIP of a three-passenger plane that were semi-permanently parked and maintained at JFK Airport with a holding company, who contributed tens of millions of USD each year, the airport naturally has exclusive limousine transfers for them.

In the evening, sitting in the back seat of the Cadillac on the brightly lit streets of New York, Tina leaned her head on Zhang Lisheng’s thin shoulder and murmured, “Baby, I really don’t want to leave you.”

“That’s easy to solve; call Mr. Dolby now and say that you will be spending Christmas with me in the Tudenan tribe on the Shrimp B1 Island!” The young man joked.

“Then my father will be so pissed that his blood will overflow with blood!” The girl was stunned and smiled as she sighed.

“Don’t be sad, Tina. I’ll take time to go to Boston to see you after the start of the new semester. Soon, we will see each other again.”

“Really? Baby?” Her boyfriend’s sent pleasant surprise on Tina’s face.

“Of course, but I can’t confirm the time yet,” Zhang Lisheng took the initiative to kiss his girlfriend’s cheek and turned his gaze to the hazy night of New York’s Upper West Side outside the car window. “This is because I don’t know how long I’ll have to stay on the Shrimp B1 Island this time to finish my job.”

As he finished speaking, the limousine gradually stopped by the roadside. The uniform-wearing chauffeur quickly got down of the car to open the door for the two VIPs.

“Thank you for your service, Mr. Driver, you can go back now,” After getting off the car, Zhang Lisheng smiled at the driver and stepped forward to help his girlfriend ring the doorbell of the iron gate. After a while, a golf cart drove out under the trees in the secluded courtyard.

The electric car stopped slowly in front of the gate. An old man dressed in a black suit and a meticulously combed white hair with a temperament of a gentleman walked out of the car and opened the iron gate. After quietly waiting for the young couple to finish kissing, only then did he greet Zhang Lisheng courteously, “Good evening, Mr. Lisheng.”

“Good evening, Mr. Leroy, you look good,” The young man smiled graciously at the old butler who had served the ‘Douglin family’ for decades.

“Thank you, your complexion doesn’t look too good; maybe you should pay attention to your diet and rest.”

“Oh, thank you for reminding me. I’ll pay attention to it. It’s getting late, so see I’ll you again later, Mr. Leroy. Bye, Tina!” After watching his girlfriend entering the iron gate, sitting in a golf cart, and disappearing into the night as she reluctantly looked back, Zhang Lisheng breathed the cold air and strolled along the streets of the evening before turning into a deep dark alley by the roadside.

Although the Upper West Side was the most elite block in New York, since it was developed the earliest and was rarely refurbished, most of the buildings had been tens of hundreds of years old. The alleys here were more gloomy and damp than the other ordinary community with people rarely sighted.

With brisk footsteps, he walked into the middle of the alley and looked carefully around him. When he saw that there was nobody left, he stripped off his clothes and held them in his hands.

Looking up to the star-less one-line sky view on top of him, sandwiching his view of the skies between two tall buildings, he commanded the wizard power in his body to transform. In an instant, he turned into the wyrmdragon’s incarnation that had antler-like ears, horse-like nose and mouth, a pair of protruding eyes, and a body covered in green scales.

The moisture content in the air became visible in his field of vision right away. When Zhang Lisheng’s claws, that only had three toes, waved gently, the water vapor within a few hundred meters—accompanied by a steam whistling sound—transformed into fog and gathered at his side.

Although Zhang Lisheng had made a breakthrough to the Rank-8 Wizard and had incarnated to course across the sky, wading the clouds for several times, when he was shrouded in the mist and the weight pulling his body down suddenly disappeared without a trace, as though he could now fly straight into the sky with just a faint breeze, he could not help but feel a joyful feeling.

“May I one day, I can transform into a dragon and flutter onto the nine heavens… Hehe…” After chuckling for a while, he muttered a Chinese seven-worded ancient poems and flew up to the sky, wrapped in the clouds as he ascended into the New York night sky.

This differed greatly from riding a flying wizard gu. After Zhang Lisheng had transformed and relied on his ability to fly, it only needed half a cubic meter of cloud to shroud his body completely if he shrunk his body size to the maximum limit.

Looking at the brightly lit metropolis under his feet, he carefully identified the road. He dispersed the extra clouds in the hurricane on the sky a thousand meters high and left behind only a small group of clouds as he coursed through the sky rapidly like a ghost toward the new New York port.

After arriving at the newport, he used the newly built giant lighthouse as his coordinate and soon crossed the barrier of the two worlds and came to the Shrimp B1 Island.

Right now, the foreign world’s island was under the mercy of a darkened sky. Looking down in a bird’s-eye view, he saw dots of big and small flares burning on the island like jujube dancing across his eyes.

Every piece of the blazing fire that dispelled the darkness represented a Hellfire tribe. Zhang Lisheng searched for the sacred fire that believed in himself on the sky and drove the clouds to glide down. When he was still in the air, he heard a sorrowful chanting resonating from the tribe on the ground.

The young man frowned and suddenly tore through the clouds to accelerate and fall directly to the ground.

In the turbulent dust, he returned to his normal look and glanced around. He saw thousands of the Tudenan warriors’ corpses laid on the open space in front of the tribal totem pole.. Many native women and children were singing and mourning burial song, wiping blood from them using clear water.

At this time, when the Tudenan warriors who were holding a sacred funeral ceremony for the warriors saw someone descending from the sky, they immediately grasped the iron knife spear in their hands tightly as several hundreds of sorcery power began to rapidly condensed in the air.

However, this kind of alert quickly broke after hearing the voice a calm and composed man. “Tugra, has the tribal coalition on the island has killed so many of my devout believers?”

Upon hearing this familiar voice, the Tudenan headman who was presiding over the cremation ceremony hurriedly jumped off the high platform and replied as he crouched down in the dust, “Yes, Great Raider!”

As the headman kneeled down, all the Tudenan who realized who the incomer was immediately fell to the ground.

As the dust dispersed, Zhang Lisheng’s short figure stood beside the totem pole that was shooting up into the sky. His eyes slowly swept through the corpses in the fire. “How come over 1900 Tudenan warriors with partners have died at one go? Tugra, it looks like our enemies are no longer a plate of loose sand.”

Although there were over 300,000 people in the Tudenan, after the separation of warriors and civilians, there were only about 40,000 warriors left. The death of over 1,900 people was a 5% reduction. This number of casualties was already abnormally catastrophic.

Therefore, when the Tudenan aborigines heard the Raider saying this remark with no emotions, their heart shuddered right away. When Tugra remembered the assurance he promised the Raider before he left, the tribal headman said with a slightly trembling voice, “Y-yes… G-Great Raider! T-they’re…”

“Don’t be nervous, Tugra! Even though the warriors’ death was catastrophic, the tribe can still survive from this. Calm down and tell me how powerful the enemy we are facing are.”

“The strength of the enemy is equal to that of us, Great Raider! I still haven’t figured out what’s going on until now,” When Tugra saw that the Raider did not have the intention to blame him, he quietly sighed and fell into deep memories. “After you left, as per your instruction, I immediately prepared a lot of food, ironware, and delicate utensils to give to the Kamando tribe on the other side of the island. The Kamando people accepted our gifts readily and returned a few stone sculptures as gifts. At first, I thought the big tribes between us and Kamando, like the Samru, Pelungia, and Eruya would be hampered by the Kamando, but who knows, this morning, they actually united and did their best to launch an attack on our tribe. The tribes that were giving out words wanting to unite to divide Tudenan, on the other hand, remained a plate of loose sand. If it wasn’t because we’ve long been prepared for their attack, along with the fact that the coalition forces of Samru, Pelungia, and Eruya didn’t have the intention to fight to their death, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”

After that, the Tudenan headman buried his head deep in the mud.
