A moment later, having received a response, Liu Bai took out a cool motorcycle from the pot, all black with gold accents.
In some places, there are even dark-style gold decorations resembling human hands.
"Wow! What's this? A transforming motorcycle? So cool!"
Hu Tao's eyes lit up as she looked at the motorcycle in front of her.
The dark, hand-shaped gold decoration on it appealed to her.
[Herrscher of Domination - Mob - Motorcycle Form]
Hmm... these are actually the Herrschers of Domination after they've unleashed their full power.
There are even autonomous and manual modes. In combat, you launch threads using decorations that look like human hands... Well, these are originally the hands of the Herrscher of Domination.
Liu Bai was the first to get into the car.
"Hmm~?"
"...Huh? Did the car just make a groan?"
"That's an illusion. Come on up, Master Hu." Bai patted the car body.
These guys...
"That's true..." Hu Tao nodded, not taking it to heart.
"Wait! Wait! Help, boss!"
Just as Hu Tao and his group sat down to chat, another voice came from behind them: Ling Qi Liu's voice sounded very familiar.
"……Ugh."
Liu Bai turned his head and saw Gui Naifen and Liu Ying being chased by the Qianyan Army.
"Suspicious person! Halt!"
What did those two do?
"your friend?"
Hu Tao watched this scene with an interested expression.
"Yes."
"Hey... what did your friends do that made them get chased by the Thousand Rock Army?"
"How would I know?"
Liu Bai rolled her eyes.
He also wanted to know what terrible things those two had done this time.
Both of them treated it as entertainment—after all, Hu Tao could also see that if these two fought back, the Qianyan soldiers behind them would all be taken down.
"Can you vouch for them? If these two cause any trouble, I think it's probably a misunderstanding."
"Don't worry! Leave it to me!"
Walnut jumped off the motorcycle.
"Everyone, let's stop for a bit~"
"Hall Master Hu?"
After Hu Tao spoke, Qianyan Army indeed stopped. After Qianyan Army stopped pursuing, Gui Naifen and Liu Ying also stopped.
"Master Hu, what's going on...?"
"These two are friends of my friend. Is there some misunderstanding between you and them?"
Hu Tao asked in a rather serious manner.
"This one……"
Qianyanjun and Hu Tao began to explain.
After a while, the two sides reached a consensus, and Qianyan Jun, who was in charge, clasped his hands in a fist salute and led his team away.
"You two..." Bai was also looking at Liu Ying and Gui Naifen with a scrutinizing gaze.
"It's alright now." Hu Tao clapped her hands as she returned. "Liyue has been a bit tense lately, and these two were acting suspiciously at the port, so they were stopped—but they still managed to escape."
Liu Bai: "..."
Liu Bai wasn't stupid; after hearing the words "port" and "sneaky," he knew what the two girls were up to.
They've even started using stalking as a form of surveillance?
"Fine, but this won't happen again—shall we go out and have some fun together?"
Liu Bai patted the motorcycle beneath him. The Herrscher of Domination understood and lengthened the motorcycle slightly.
The idea of a motorcycle that can squeeze in four people is rather abstract.
That is to say, there aren't many Herrschers of Domination left in the pot, otherwise it should be easy to form an off-road vehicle.
Chapter 236 Wuwang Slope...A Great Adventure?
"Phew... my hat almost fell off..."
Hu Tao, holding her hat with both hands, jumped off the motorcycle with lingering fear in her eyes.
Gui Naifen looked at Hu Tao with some curiosity and poked Hu Tao's big hat from behind—the hat had obvious signs of alteration. In Gui Naifen's opinion, even after the alteration, it was still somewhat... well, actually quite cute.
"Don't move!"
Hu Tao jumped as if sensing something, avoiding Gui Naifen's fingers from behind.
"Ahem, just a little further ahead is Wuwang Slope—Is anyone here afraid of ghosts?"
"Who's afraid of ghosts!"
Gui Naifen patted her chest, looking confident.
"Huh? Boss, why do you look like that?"
"...It's nothing." Bai looked away.
Liu Ying, looking slightly guilty, shrank behind Liu Bai, appearing like a weak and delicate woman: "A ghost..."
"Hehe~ I'm off then~"
Hu Tao glanced at everyone and roughly determined their positions.
"set off!"
…………
"Is it really okay?"
After Liu Bai and his group entered the woods, several heads poked out from the motorcycles that had been left behind—a truly bizarre scene.
"Is the Honkai energy a bit too concentrated up ahead?"
"However, the overall environment is extremely stable, there aren't even any Honkai Beasts... This is probably why 'ghosts' can form?"
"Anyway, this kind of environment is unlikely to pose any crisis to the masters."
"Should we do something?"
"……do what?"
"To dress up as a ghost and scare people, or something? To help the master? And to teach that little devil in the hat a lesson while you're at it?"
"Hmm...it's not impossible."
The Heralds of Domination pondered for a moment.
They didn't have any personal grudge against Hu Tao, but they were just annoyed that she dared to order Liu Bai around. In this situation, pretending to be a ghost to give her a small punishment didn't seem like a bad idea.
"But that kid seems pretty brave?"
Isn't stirring up negative emotions our forte?
The motorcycle quickly disintegrated, and the scattered Herrschers slowly rose from the ground.
"If you can't get it to move, you can beat it up."
"..."
Well, a simple and crude tactic is still a tactic; they didn't believe that little girl could pull a weapon out of her crotch.
…………
"Did the sky suddenly turn dark?"
After entering Wuwangpo, Gui Naifen looked up at the sky.
It should be daytime now, right?
"Because this is the closest place to the underworld, the boundary between Yin and Yang." Walking at the front, Hu Tao took out a flashlight, shone it on her face, and explained in a low, eerie voice, "The resentment of the dead has obscured the sun... Ah~!"
Liu Bai took off Hu Tao's hat, gave Hu Tao a chop to the head, and after Hu Tao made a cute sound, put the hat back on Hu Tao.
"Wow~ I just wanted to set the mood a bit." Hu Tao adjusted her beloved heirloom hat and squatted down to pick up the flashlight.
"Is it some kind of energy field?" Liu Ying asked timidly, hiding behind Liu Bai.
Although it is not part of the Honkai system, Honkai is a type of imaginary energy. Although Liu Ying does not pride herself on her physical combat strength, she still has basic senses and common sense.
Moreover... energy fields are quite common in the universe, and they are quite widespread.
For example, the thing she comes into contact with most is the star core, which has its own energy field when it is activated.
By a broad definition, the collapse of a galaxy here could also be a giant energy field.
"Hey, you're quite knowledgeable, miss." Hu Tao smiled at Liu Ying, but when she reached for the flashlight, her hand touched something that looked like dry tree bark.
(Huh? Did I touch the wrong spot?)
Hu Tao slowly shifted her gaze back, only to find that she was touching a withered, shriveled hand, and beneath that hand was her flashlight.
Looking down her hand, she saw a similarly withered dead head staring back at her.
"...?"
Hu Tao seemed to freeze for a moment, staring at the dead man's head, and tilted her head rather cutely.
The dead man's head, revealing its broken teeth, gave Hu Tao a ferocious "smile".
"Huh? What are you?"
Hu Tao, regaining her senses, reached out her hand towards the dead man's head with curious eyes, but the next moment, the head vanished into the darkness.
"Eh?"
"what happened?"
Liu Bai looked at Hu Tao, who was squatting on the ground and not picking up the flashlight, and was a little puzzled.
"I just discovered something really fun!" Hu Tao turned her head excitedly and said, "It's a dead person's head! And it's still attached to an arm! It's even smiling at me!"
"...?"
Wait, is that even human language you're talking about?
Why say something like that so cheerfully?
Even a warrior like Liu Ying, who had crawled out of piles of corpses, had an expression of utter incomprehension.
"I just don't know if there are any other parts besides the arms and head."
Walnut picked up the flashlight and shone it around.
"Um... Miss Walnut, why are you so happy?"
Gui Naifen asked cautiously.
“Because we are clients of our Rebirth Hall!” Hu Tao’s even more matter-of-fact answer left Gui Naifen speechless.
"I've never found anything like this on Wuwang Slope before! This is a huge discovery! A truly amazing discovery!"
"...The dead don't have money to buy coffins or urns, right?"
"It's alright! Such a rare item, I, the hall master, can provide a full range of services for free! It smiled at me, it must want me to help it pass on to the afterlife!"
