Chapter 28: The First Dragon Boat Race
Calculate the time, and now the people on the earth should be celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. "Ao Liao, who is lying on the rocking chair and doing nothing, misses life on earth a little." I don't know if the rice dumplings are distributed on the construction site, and how the workers are doing now. β
"You can't eat zongzi." Ao Liao touched his skeleton, "But there is something that can be done!" His eyes flashed with gold, and he thought of something interesting.
"Murphy!" Murphy, who was experimenting in the laboratory of the Eye of Thunder, suddenly received a transmission from Ao Liao. Frightened, the test tube in his hand shook and added some more liquid. "I'll go!" He hurriedly propped up his magic shield. "Boom!" A small mushroom cloud rose in front of him.
"Mayor Town, please don't suddenly make a noise to scare the undead when I'm doing experiments in the future, okay?" Murphy looked at the lab that was about to be cleaned up again, and cried without tears.
"Well, pay attention later. By the way, Murphy, help me talk to the undead world. Let's just say that I want to hold a "dragon boat race" between the two worlds, and ask them if they are willing to participate. β
"Dragon boat races? What dragon boat? Dragon's ship? It can't be made of dragons! Murphy asked.
"A dragon boat is a boat that has the shape of a dragon. There are no material requirements, and they are generally made of wood. The dragon boat race is a dragon boat on each side, and whichever side reaches the finish line first is the winner. β
"Yes, Mayor Masan. I'll go. Murphy cleared his doubts, opened the portal and walked inside.

In the halls of the Tower of the Dead in ArΓpolo, the Lich Kings are seated. The original dim and eerie dΓ©cor of the hall had been changed since Murphy's return to Eye of Thunder. Bright yellow walls, bright lights. The Lich Kings sat around the bony couch with thick fur underneath them.
"That's life!" A Lich King pulls out a bottle containing water from the Moon Well. After pouring a small amount into his mouth, he quickly corked the bottle again.
"This time, Lord Witch God asked Lord Murphy to pass the word, and there was a dragon boat race that asked us if the undead world would like to participate." Since the last time Aripolo was pushed out of the top tank in a row, he has now subtly become the leader of this group of Lich Kings.
"It's a must to participate, but if the opponent is the Witch God, do we have any hope of winning?"
"There are still dragon boats to prepare. We don't have boats in the world of the dead, and we don't know how to make them. β
"Nope! There are boats. We can go and find the ferryman who forgot to cross the river, he should know. β
"You say that monster, that's fine. But what do we use to impress him and get him to come out and help us? β
"Anyway, he should be an aquar, why don't we give him a bottle of moon well water?"
"Good! So it was decided. β
In the end, ArΓpolo set the tone for the meeting.
In the town, Murphy also summoned them and pulled the lantern.
"Isn't there still a home to think about, why didn't you call him?" Pulling the lamp looked at Murphy and asked curiously.
Murphy thought of the experience of being provoked by the door, only to be abused twice. Let him really have no face to face Jia Kesi again. I had to reply curtly: "Oops! I forgot that there was a new townsman in our town. A-color, you go and call it. β
After a while, Ase and Jia Kesi came over, and all the townspeople of the town arrived.
"I came to you this time for the mayor of the town to hold the 'Dragon Boat Race' in the two worlds. However, the mayor said that he did not participate in the game and still played as a referee. So we are the ones who participate in the competition...... One, two, three, four. Well, plus the sub-color, it's just the four of us. β
"But it doesn't matter, we're all elites, and we'll definitely be able to defeat the rabble in the undead world." In order to improve morale, Murphy decisively twisted the fact that all the Lich Kings of the undead world could beat him, and began to put gold on his face.
"It's just that I don't understand how to make dragon boats. You also know that skeletons usually come from the bottom of the river when they encounter water. "No way, skeletons don't need to breathe because they're so capricious.
Ase is also an undead, so naturally it is impossible to understand. And the lantern, who has lived in the center of the forest since he was a child, let alone shipbuilding, has never even seen a few rivers. I often see small streams, but you don't always have to drive boats in small streams.
Several people looked at each other, just as Murphy decided to ask the town elder for help. Gallos spoke.
"I'll build the boat, and you will make the materials." With that, he got up and left.

Ao Liao stood at the corner of Shanglu Avenue, on a makeshift nine-story platform.
Standing alone on the left is the town foursome. On the right, a large area of the undead world is contestants and a large number of onlookers.
It's just that what makes Ao Liao strange is that the undead world is not leading the team this time, but a spicy crayfish walking upright. Wrong! If you count by size, it should be an Australian super-sized lobster.
"When did you have a lobster in the undead world?" Ao Liao secretly sent a message to Murphy.
Murphy looked at the humanoid lobster opposite him wielding a pair of large pincers, dazed. When Ao Liao saw Murphy's sluggish appearance, he knew that there was no play. Can't help but be curious, the voice is transmitted to Ariello.
"Lord Witch God, this is the ferryman of our undead realm who forgot to cross the river, Edward. Since we don't know how to build ships, we asked him for help in order to participate in this dragon boat race. β
Ao Liao nodded slightly. Although there are still some questions in my mind, now is not the time to ask.
"Welcome to the first two world dragon boat races. Let me first announce the rules of the race: the starting point is our place, the river is the route, the end of the river is the corner of the lower road, and then the side that returns to the starting point wins. β
"Let's go to the river from both sides to drop the dragon boats they have prepared."
The undead side, led by Edward the Lobster, first came to the river. A black hole opened in mid-air, and a bone boat slid gently into the water.
The hideous skeletal dragon head is used as the bow of the ship, the spine is the bottom of the white ribs, and the long and narrow hull is tightly patched, and the pointed tail bone of the stern is raised high. If you don't look at the material and ignore the slightly open bone wings on both sides of the hull, as well as the four bone claws under the hull. This is a complete replica of the dragon boat on Earth, although it is a little bigger.
It was the turn of the town team's dragon boat to enter the water, and the same one was a black hole, and the first thing that was revealed was a metal dragon head. It is not as hideous as the bone dragon head, but the slightly raised cannon muzzle in the mouth is even more murderous. The rear hull was slightly fat, and there were two small torpedo launchers on each side of the ship. A platform protrudes from the back of the ship, and I don't know what the purpose is. The stern of the boat stretched straight and was mostly submerged in the water, with only a little bit of the surface exposed.
Ao Liao looked at the two dragon boats and was powerless to complain. One undead resembles a bone dragon, and the other resembles a tyrant made of metal.
"Ask the people to board and prepare for the race."
Edward the lobster from the undead was the first to board the ship, followed by fifteen Lich Kings in turn. And the town is ready to get on board.
Ao Liao floats between two dragon boats, holding a small flag in his hand.
"Ready! Three, two, one, go you! The small flag in Ao Liao's hand fell.
The two dragon boats sped out......
