The three Sun Boats were being dragged along by a group of undead. Fortunately, they were traveling over snow and ice, so the resistance wasn't too great. And since the undead never tired, transporting them wasn't all that difficult.
Still, Liu Zhi knew that a boat was only useful if there was a river to sail on.
He wanted the Sun Boats to show off their ability to move freely between the sky and the Underworld, too.
That would give him more freedom to move around here.
But to get a boat moving, he needed at least a river channel. If the undead soldiers had to drag the boats themselves, then no matter how capable the Sun Boats were, they'd never be able to build up enough speed when setting off.
Liu Zhi's undead had dug a channel about thirty meters wide and three thousand meters long.
The channel before them looked more like a gigantic ice slide, though. There wasn't a drop of water in it.
Liu Zhi didn't need an actual river. He only needed something that looked the part.
Once the channel had been dug, Liu Zhi waved his hand, and a mummy hero leaped aboard one of the boats.
He was the captain Liu Zhi had chosen to operate the Eagle Eye.
