Chapter 137 Holy Son
The assault turret popped up from the roof of the vehicle, its weapons already loaded.
The ranged professions in the cars also stepped onto the war platform, either shooting arrows with bows or waving magic wands.
From a distance, one could already see the smoke and dust from the running undead, as well as the trees shaking as they crashed into each other, all the way towards him.
The distance is getting closer.
The map was basically occupied by red, and the undead army's attack was like a process soaked in blood, revealing a very ominous feeling. The level 4 captain hesitated for a moment and realized that something was wrong.
There are too many. Are there more undead in front? If I had known earlier, I would have rushed in from the side.
But now that things have come to this, he no longer has the chance to choose again.
"Get started!"
The only option is to attack with all our might, hoping that these undead armies are nothing but silver spears and candles that can withstand a single blow.
"Attack with all your strength! Don't stop!!"
"Swish swish!"
“Rub, rub, rub!”
“Boom! Boom!!”
A hail of bullets erupted from the forest, and a dense artillery fire swept across the ground, blowing the Wolf Army into pieces.
The fourth-level tank commander's eyes lit up when he saw this result.
Hey! Looks like he can really fight!
"Kill them!" For a moment, the fourth-level tank captain was full of energy and his voice was brighter.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
Brother Taogang gave the order, and the wolf army instantly split into dozens of small teams, dispersed, and hid in the dense forest.
Some rushed straight ahead, some moved in a serpentine manner, and some formed an arc and pressed forward from both wings.
Brother Diao's military command class went well.
Compared with Benlang's well-coordinated deployment, the opponent obviously did not have an excellent commander. They relied on the vehicle's attack system and bombed it indiscriminately.
If there is no intelligent AI on the car, the attack power will be even worse, right?
Of course, in the third-level world, these vehicles are more or less equipped with primary AI, and the fourth-level vehicle is even rarer in having intermediate AI, and the lethality of its intelligent attacks is even greater against the Wolf Army.
This is probably why he dared to target Wei Huan.
Bombs rained down on the ground, and dense ammunition sent rocks and dirt flying everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, most of the wolves were killed, and their bones were scattered all over the ground. For a while, no undead could get close to the vehicle.
The people in the car laughed conceitedly: "They say Wei Huan is the best of the younger generation. Bah! If I kill him today, will I be the best?"
"He will die of his arrogance! He dared to leave the car and act alone in Challenge the World. He can only regret it in hell."
"Kill! Kill Wei Huan! He has a magical weapon!"
Amidst the excited howls, all the wolves on the front battlefield were killed without a single one left.
The attacker was so excited that he howled.
However, the commander of the Tier 4 vehicle also issued a warning: "There are still many undead approaching on both wings. Don't let them get close to the vehicle, kill them!"
"Yes! Captain!"
For a moment, the responses were overwhelming.
But before the Wolf Army on both wings could get within attacking range, a group of ghost crows carrying Netherfire bombs arrived first.
"Be careful, it's Wei Huan's bomb! He used this to blow up Shi Heng's house!"
In the past five days, this group of people did investigate Wei Huan.
"Gather! Gather! Continue the attack!!"
The captain of the Level 4 vehicle yelled, simultaneously opening his Level 4 protective shield. A hazy blue sphere of light appeared outside the vehicle, instantly enveloping the other five vehicles within its protective shield.
The Hellfire Bomb also fell at this time and hit the protective shield.
“Boom!”
The huge noise made people's scalps numb, as if it was the end of the world.
The level 4 tank commander's face changed drastically when he saw that just one explosion instantly reduced his shield energy by 5%.
He had always misjudged the small green light. The world had seen Wei Huan use the Hellfire Bomb twice, both times targeting buildings on Blue Star. One was an abandoned factory, the other the Shi Heng Group's old residence. Even ordinary bombs could destroy these buildings, so he had never imagined how powerful it would be.
But reality taught him a lesson. When he saw the dense green fireflies falling above his head, he screamed: "Open the protective shields! Open the protective shields!!"
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
For a while, the people in the car seemed to hear nothing but the roar of the explosions and their own heartbeats.
All the Level 3 vehicles responded to the order of the Level 4 captain and opened the protective shields on their vehicles, layer by layer.
It's not like they didn't have a protective shield that had already been upgraded to level 4, but they still had a premonition that they would be blown to death at any moment.
It's too terrible. Even the aftermath of the explosion will deplete the energy of the protective shield that is not directly impacted, not to mention the protective shield that is supporting the outermost part. The damage will only be greater.
Indeed, the level 4 tank captain looked at the energy of his protective shield that was falling off a cliff with horror. He had been challenging the world for so many years, and there was nothing he dared not do relying on his level 4 tank. Who would not submit to him?
This was the craziest and fastest defeat he had ever encountered.
It is hard to imagine what would happen if the protective shield was broken and the bomb fell on the car.
Although the damage that the car body can withstand is stronger than the protective shield, its strength is also limited.
The most important thing is that once the car itself is damaged and cannot withstand the attack, the next person to be attacked will be the people in the car.
The captain had never felt defeat so quickly, and had never felt the crisis of being suppressed by absolute power.
More importantly, a large number of undead appeared on his radar.
Those undead spirits were like viruses, jumping with red light and surrounding them from all directions.
This feeling of being surrounded and approached made his soul tremble, his legs weak, and he made a new decision almost instantly.
"Retreat! Retreat! Run!!"
That’s right!
It took less than three minutes from the time he started to the time he decided to escape. The driver made the decision to escape in a hurry.
It's better to be embarrassed than to die here.
And… a great reputation is a true honor. Wei Huan is truly too fierce! Is he still a challenger? Is he going to become a god?
While shouting "retreat", the fourth-level tank commander also ordered the tank to set off.
A second before the protective shield was broken, the engine of the Level 4 vehicle roared, and it shot out with a "buzz" like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, there was no trace.
The remaining vehicles also fled in all directions.
Some of them still had their shields and were in better condition, so once they left the bombing area, they could still escape. But some of them were slow to react, their shields gone, their hulls damaged, and they ran crookedly, their butts smoking.
What a mess! Extremely messy!
It was just like a stray dog, howling and running with its tail between its legs.
Every decision they had made before, and the five consecutive days of following, seemed like a joke. The gap between the past and the present was like a lightning strike, chiseling their hearts, and they were so sad that they almost vomited blood.
Through the eyes of the Lord of the Demon Eye, Wei Huan witnessed the double collapse of the enemy's front line and psychology, and the scene where the fourth-level vehicle was the first to escape.
It’s a pity that it couldn’t be stopped. The flexibility of human tanks was fully demonstrated at this moment.
Especially the high-end cars that have been upgraded with special tires and can fly. Even though Wei Huan has arranged for the undead to block the road ahead, he can only watch the other party leave after the other party dodges for a while.
Some of the other Tier 3 vehicles were lucky enough to find a weak point in the defense and rushed out, while others were unlucky enough to be hooked by the melon seeds of the Xiu Rome. After continuous attacks on the vehicle shell, they finally managed to throw the Xiu Rome off with the help of the vehicle's external serrations and sentry towers, and escaped.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Huan looked back and saw that there was only one level three vehicle left in the encirclement.
This level three vehicle was the worst hit. Not only was its protective shield destroyed, but its hull was also blown to pieces, with the damage at least reaching 70%.
Even so, seven or eight thugs still firmly hooked the car shell and fixed it in place.
If Wei Huan hadn't wanted to keep the car alive, the car would have disintegrated on the spot in an instant.
It’s a pity that only one car is left.
Faced with the chariots who only wanted to escape, Wei Huan had no way to keep them since the mother earthbeast was not sent to the front line in time.
But it doesn’t matter, he’ll know next time.
Then, Wei Huan's vision and Sister Ya's vision both fell on the windshield of the damaged car.
The car was quiet.
They stared at each other in silence for a long time. After realizing that the other party didn't appreciate his kindness, Wei Huan suddenly had an idea. He hooked the chariot's nails and stretched them out, and began to tear the shell of the vehicle.
“Crunch—”
“Rip!!”
Finally, just before the vehicle was about to be dismantled and scrapped, the door opened.
Five men walked out with their hands raised above their heads.
"Surrender! Don't kill us, we surrender!"
The men who came down looked quite old. They squatted on the ground and were very obedient.
Zhou Yong, who received Wei Huan's order, hurried over on his Xiu Luoma. As soon as he got close, he jumped off his horse and kicked a man who looked like the chariot driver, knocking him to the ground.
"Tell me everything! Tell me everything! If you tell me a lie, I'll eat you alive!"
Zhou Yong pulled the man up by his collar again, put his face close to him, and threatened him viciously.
"I, I, I..." The other party was extremely timid. Before Zhou Yong could say the second sentence, he immediately replied, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you anything you ask me."
Half an hour later, Zhou Yong brought this group of people who looked as wilted as cucumbers to Wei Huan.
Wei Huan sat cross-legged on Dian Ma's back shell, as if he was sitting on his high throne, looking down at the group of people at his feet.
These people also looked at him, but as they looked, their gazes began to avert, and their backs became arched, unable to straighten up again.
The familiar faces, the terrifying strength, and the impenetrable army of the undead seemed to be pressing down on the hearts of these people, making it difficult for them to even breathe.
Wei Huan.
Only after seeing this 20-year-old young man with my own eyes did I realize that he truly had the aura of a king.
That was the supreme strength that put the crown on his head.
They actually tried to attack such a person, just like a mouse trying to provoke a lion, the outcome was doomed from the beginning.
"explain!"
Zhou Yong knocked a bearded middle-aged man to the ground and shouted, "Speak! Speak every word! Who are you? Why did you fight? Who's the leader?"
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." Although this was the second time he'd been questioned, the man didn't dare complain and obediently replied, "We're members of the War Clan's pioneering team. Our leader is Liu Yan, captain of the team's 3rd Squadron. He has a Level 4 primary vehicle and is a Sequence 4 King Soldier himself. We also have a Sequence 4 Shadowless as the deputy vehicle commander. We're not sure about the others. We were just out shopping when we were suddenly captured and forced to attack you without knowing anything. If you don't believe me, look at the route map in my car. We had just arrived when you... Please let us go. We're innocent."
"What do you mean innocent? If we were the ones who lost this battle, you wouldn't look like this." Lin Xu sneered.
He stood a step behind Wei Huan and said with a bit of bullying: "No one in the Zhan Clan is a good person. Who can you hide your plan from? I tell you, you'd better tell the truth and don't force us to do anything."
"Really, everything I said is true." The bearded man spoke sincerely, and looked at Wei Huan timidly.
Wei Huan remained silent until the atmosphere became suffocating and the bearded man could no longer hold back and was anxiously wanting to say something.
Wei Huan said calmly: "Take them back."
It was certain this guy wasn't telling the truth, at least not anything that would harm him. Wei Huan didn't bother to interrogate this old-timer like squeezing toothpaste. There were plenty of people in Qinglong City who were good at interrogation. He just had to take the man back.
As for what he said about being from the War Clan, this is 100% believable.
After all, he and the Zhan Clan had met more than once and even made enemies. Whether it was on the secondary highway, when he rescued Xu Qingqiang and blew up the white rhino, or a month ago, when he tracked down the "Blue Dragon Army's stolen supplies" and destroyed a Zhan Clan stronghold.
The only option for the relationship between him and the Zhan Clan is "hostility".
The Zhan clan had reasons for attacking him.
If you add to that the fact that you can obtain discarded mobile phones, this hungry wolf will target you even more.
"Behave yourself, don't even think about running away, you can't escape!"
With the cooperation of the undead, Zhou Yong and Lin Xu tied up all five people and tied them to the back shell of a female ground beast.
In addition, there are female earth beasts holding their broken vehicles in the back. The chariots are important to the challengers, and the vehicles are also trophies.
After doing this, Wei Huan ordered the undead army to go back and continue on their journey.
At full speed, the female Earth Beast moved faster than a racing car, and the wind hurt on her face. Wei Huan and the others were already used to it, and with the challenger's high physical fitness, they didn't feel any discomfort. However, some of the captives were struggling to breathe, almost rolling their eyes. Then, after a couple of kicks from Zhou Yong, they were immediately healed.
Seeing their shifty looks, Zhou Yong kindly warned them, "Do you see these undead? It's not just a small number right in front of you. Many more are moving with us. Not to mention you don't have a car, you wouldn't be able to escape even if you had one. If you want to stay alive, you might as well cooperate and make amends. Maybe you can even clear your name. Don't you want to go back to Blue Star? Do you really have no relatives left? At least on Blue Star, you don't have to worry about random monsters spawning at any time, and there are no sudden attacks. You can always sleep peacefully."
Following Zhou Yong's words, the eyes of several people became a little dazed. It was obvious that they recalled some experiences in the past, with a bit more nostalgia and sadness.
Seeing that they had calmed down, Zhou Yong stopped talking and watched over them together with Lin Xu.
Only occasionally, the two of them couldn't help but look in Wei Huan's direction.
He single-handedly killed the following vehicles, including a Level 4 vehicle.
Even if they are just a mob that will flee at the slightest danger, how many people in this world can do that even if they know this?
[Undead Fire Bombing] + [Undead Scourge] is simply unstoppable.
Moreover, this happened when Boss Wei had just been promoted to level 4 and had no time to settle down. If it were another time, when Boss Wei's strength would have been fully improved, he might even be able to capture that level 4 vehicle.
Following such a boss will make them appear extremely incompetent, but they will also feel safe.
How many people dare to leave their cars and run around in the challenge world to find treasure?
They clearly didn't have the ability, but because of Boss Wei, they took it for granted and went crazy for so many days.
This is probably the reason why the Zhan clan thought they had gotten an advantage and dared to attack them?
Don’t think about it, since they dare to be so abnormal, they must have something to rely on to survive in this world.
After observing for a while, the five captured people gradually gave up the idea of escaping.
It was because Wei Huan was too strong that they couldn't escape, and it was also because Zhou Yong broke their bottom line, making them realize that, yes, the worst that could happen was being sent back to Blue Star, which was their home after all, so why wouldn't they want to? Thinking about it this way, it was a good thing.
As they gradually approached Qinglong City, the ground was covered with fresh tire tracks. The bearded man exchanged glances with his companions, then suddenly turned to Zhou Yong and said, "I'll tell you everything. Whatever you want to know, I'll tell you."
Zhou Yong didn't quite understand why the bearded man suddenly changed his mind, but since he had agreed, he went to report to Wei Huan. After obtaining Wei Huan's approval, he brought the man to Wei Huan alone.
The bearded man was old enough to be Wei Huan's father, but he didn't even dare to think about such an offensive idea.
Being looked at by Wei Huan's dark eyes, he avoided and lowered his gaze, and then confessed everything without any further questions.
It wasn't surprising. The captain of the Third Squadron, Liu Yan, had indeed come for them from the beginning and had been watching them for five days...
After finishing the story about the Zhan Clan and Liu Yan, the bearded man said with a look of grievance, "Our vehicle is not a combat vehicle at all. We came out this time mainly to purchase supplies for the Holy Son. The Holy Son is very interested in the items of Blue Star. We also mostly trade in the city, and we abide by the law.
Who knew we'd be called here without knowing what was happening? They couldn't defeat us, so they scattered, leaving us here. You see, although we're from the War Clan, we're really good people. We've never killed a single Blue Star compatriot, and we have compelling reasons for hiding in the Challenge World."
"Whether you have broken the law or not, and what law you have broken, the laws of Daxia will naturally settle the matter. No matter how much you say, it will be useless. Everything you have done will leave traces, and truth will come to light."
Zhou Yong retorted, but what he was more concerned about was, "What is the Son of God?"
When Wei Huan heard the word "Holy Son", his eyelashes trembled.
He knows.
But apparently no one else knew.
Fortunately, in order to survive, the other party did not care about selling any information, including the "Son of God" which was very important as soon as he heard it.
They said, "The Holy Sons are humans born in the challenge world, children who cannot return to Blue Star. They seem to be more recognized by this world, and their strength and talent are greater than our challengers."
This made Zhou Yong even more curious. "Children born in the Challenge World will be forcibly sent back to Blue Star to grow up. How could there be infants in this world?"
The other party said as a matter of course, "Of course there are. As long as we create an environment where they cannot return, the merciful God of Challenge will never kill innocent children, so they will be spared."
"What do you mean by an environment where there's no return?" Zhou Yong thought about it and quickly figured it out. "It means my parents' beacons are buried, deep in the sea, high in the sky, etc., right?"
At this point, after seeing the other party's confirmed expression, his eyes suddenly sharpened: "You would artificially create this state, right? For the Son?"
The bearded man didn't expect this topic to be such a bad idea, so he quickly tried to correct it, "I don't know. I only know that the Saint Son's parents are usually very noble in the War Clan. They are the ones who completely gave up and returned to Blue Star. They are recognized as true War Clan members."
Lin Xu suddenly spoke up: "So, you're just the nannies taking care of this group of privileged people? Are you crazy? You're not so comfortable being free on Blue Star, so you run off to Challenge World to be slaves, and the key is that you're so proud of it. You've been fooled, right?"
After the truth was revealed, it became even more embarrassing.
But the bearded man didn't dare to lose his temper and continued to speak honestly, "The Holy Son is different! Those children can only be called war children. Only the Holy Son is the most special."
"Zhan Zi and Sheng Zi?" Zhou Yong repeated in confusion.
The bearded man nodded. "All the privileged children born because their parents sacrificed the chance to return home are merely 'war children.' The 'holy children' are truly exceptional and special."
The Holy Son is the most talented child selected from all the War Sons. There are four in total: the Holy Son and his substitute, the Holy Daughter and her substitute.
The one we are responsible for taking care of is the substitute for the Holy Son. He is stronger and more talented than the Holy Son, but was eliminated in the selection because he has no parents' help. Now he is in our care.
We are just the logistics personnel taking care of the Son of God. Our combat effectiveness is very poor and we have almost no combat capability. If you don’t believe me, you can go and see our car. We have purchased a lot of supplies on our car, all of which are non-combat supplies, as well as some local specialty toys, all for children.
I didn’t lie to you, I swear, I’m not hiding anything this time!!”
Wei Huan nodded, it was indeed true.
But he asked, "What is the name of this substitute for the Holy Son?"
This "point" is quite strange. Most people cannot imagine why they would ask a child's name, even if he is the Son of God.
The two words "Son of God" are sufficient to be used as a title.
The other driver was also stunned for a moment before saying, "Linlin."
"Which Lin?" Wei Huan asked even more puzzledly.
"Lin of the woods."
"Lin in the forest?" Wei Huan lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. The slight wrinkles between his brows showed his confusion.
Seeing Wei Huan silent, Zhou Yong took over the conversation, "What is Lin Lin's occupation? What is his strength? Why can he become the Son of God? What is your purpose in training the Son of God? What exactly does the Zhan Clan want to do?" He asked sharply.
"We don't know what the Zhan Clan wants to do, but Linlin..."
The driver over there answered Zhou Yong's questions obediently, while Wei Huan over here was already recalling all his memories about the "Holy Son of the War Clan" in his previous life.
That was the 16th year since Challenge World came.
On the human side appeared a very powerful "God-given One" who was both good and evil.
