Chapter 142 Daxia is one family
As expected, the two separate roads were soon attacked.
On one side there was still a trap, and on the other side the first group of blue-bearded troops appeared.
The audience in the live broadcast room received the notice and switched the camera to the passage where they encountered the blue-bearded man.
Unfortunately, Wei Huan's vision was on the other side, and the news was brought back by Sister Ya.
His eyes opened, and his vision fell on the passage on the other side, and then he saw a fierce street battle.
The place where Wei Huan entered the ruins was probably a relatively remote area. Apart from traps, there were no living facilities for the blue-bearded people along the way.
The corridor where the battle took place is now obviously different. There are no more beard carvings, but there are some weapons that can shoot lasers on the walls.
Another group of blue-bearded people hid behind the bunker. Their bodies were covered with tentacles and were wrapped with some thermal weapons that humans could understand. While attacking the undead army, some of the blue-bearded people almost melted into the ground. Their tentacles spread out and secreted a sticky liquid, which quickly spread towards the undead army.
This is certainly not the first time that humans have dealt with the Bluebearded people. The third-level world is like it was built on the ruins of the Bluebearded civilization, and traces of the Bluebearded people's existence can be seen everywhere.
But for ordinary people, it was the first time to see the blue-bearded people attack in this way, or the way so many blue-bearded people joined forces to fight the enemy.
"It seems like these blue octopuses have intelligence."
"I heard that the Bluebeards were the last race to fail in evolution. Does that mean their level of civilization isn't low?"
"I have a bold idea. Since we have intelligence, why can't we communicate and work together?"
But the official generals who knew the Bluebeard people shook their heads and laughed after seeing these messages.
It is impossible to communicate. It's not that they haven't tried, but the Bluebeard people have always held the greatest hostility towards human civilization. The two sides are completely unable to communicate, and every attempt will start with war and end in death.
After a long time, everyone knew that this might be the arrangement to challenge the world.
The battle against the dark beasts is an evolutionary competition between civilizations. At the same time, the human race on Blue Star also needs to compete for resources with other failed civilizations.
After all, the enemy of mankind on the battlefield is the dark beast, but in the challenge world, most of the time humans face the natives of this world and obtain spoils from them.
But they also have the ability to kill humans.
Therefore, in this challenging world, there are no allies between civilizations. They must fight independently, destroy all other civilizations, and plunder resources.
Until you become the strongest civilization and make it to the end!
Obviously, as "predecessors", the blue-bearded people are also very clear about the true meaning of this civilization evolution.
Wei Huan, who came back from the future, was also very clear about this.
The concept of "civilization competition" was already publicized in the late period of the previous life. After all, humans suffered a great loss in the fifth-level world and were almost deceived by a civilization similar to humans. It was also from there that they learned the true core of "civilization competition."
Wei Huan remembered what happened in the fifth-level world, but it was not the time to intervene yet. The battle with the blue-bearded people was still going on. Wei Huan knew very well what the function of these mucus was.
The slime is the tentacles extended from the blue-bearded man. It not only has the ability to wrap around and whip, but also can cause various elemental damage.
These blue-bearded people have also been chosen to challenge the world and have once become challengers. They possess the enhanced abilities of their race and their strength should not be underestimated.
The mucus entangled the facehuggers. Some of them melted as if they had encountered strong acid, some were instantly shattered by the huge force, and some were as if they had encountered magical attacks such as high temperature burning, toxic corrosion, and ice freezing, and a large number of them died in an instant.
"Very strong, but unfortunately... the ladder is broken."
"Yes, the ladder is broken."
The official boss said with a sigh on his face that they were the ones who knew the truth.
Wei Huan saw with his own eyes the ability of the blue-bearded man's challenger. Instead of feeling fear or surprise, he felt a sense of grief for the other party.
Civilizations that failed in the challenge also lost the favor of challenging the world. They could no longer evolve and would only remain at the level of this world.
As powerful as this Bluebeard team is, their unprecedentedly strange abilities can be quite lethal to facehuggers.
But that’s all. After all, they are still just level three challengers.
When Wei Huan realized that the facehugger could no longer cope with the situation on the battlefield, the zombie bears that were walking slowly behind him began to exert their strength.
“Boom!”
Their huge bodies stomped on the floor, and they filled the passage in rows of three, making "roar-roar-roar" sounds as they ran.
The walls on both sides were even damaged by their impact, and large pieces of metal wall fell off like crackers.
"Roar, roar, roar!" The voice of the violent bear echoed in the passage of the underground palace. The next second after it came from a distance, the huge, strong and ferocious beast rushed out like a chariot with full firepower.
The facehugger, unable to dodge in time, turned into powder under the feet of the zombie bear.
The zombie bear stepped on the slime and was attacked instantly.
A huge force whipped at their bodies, along with various entanglements and elemental attacks.
But the attack that could easily crush the facehugger the moment before was now completely ineffective in front of the zombie bear.
The zombie bear used brutal violence to break free from the mucus and faced the liquid fearlessly, smashing the hard protective shields like tempered glass, just like popping bubbles.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the front of the blue-bearded man under huge firepower.
They slapped with their claws, trampled with their six legs, hugged and pounced, and bit. A one-sided war broke out and the blue-bearded people were torn into pieces.
The live broadcast room was silent.
Then, even louder cheers broke out in an instant.
“So cool!”
"Aaaaah! I love Big Bear!!"
"This crushing battle gave me goosebumps. Damn, I've been watching live broadcasts for so long, and this is the first time I've seen a battle so intense and direct. I love Daxiong and Wei Huan!"
What? Sympathy for the Bluebeards? Overthinking it! The cruelty of war had long since cured most of the saints and saints. At least they all understood the saying that those who are not of our race must have different hearts.
In this war of civilizations, there is only victory or defeat, no draw, and no "farmer and the snake" story will be played out and is not allowed.
The appearance of three violent bears directly killed six blue-bearded warriors.
Then, the facehugger crawled out from behind them and continued to explore the way forward. The three violent bears actually sat down on the spot, waiting for something obediently like big cats.
Until all the face huggers had passed and the violent bear army arrived, they would wag their butts and return to the team.
Live broadcast room.
"Even though its eyes have fallen out, why do I still think it's cute? I'm hopeless~"
"Excuse me, Boss Wei, how much does it cost to buy a big bear like this?"
"This should be Wei Huan's main force, right?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The pack of running wolf skeletons didn't make a move, and the Earth Beasts didn't appear either. And don't forget, Wei Huan was able to recruit even flying monkeys, so he must have the Xiu Roman Legion, the Demon Eye Lord Legion, and the Dog-Headed Man Legion. Also, I heard Wei Huan's bombs are pretty powerful too."
"Yes, I'm afraid Wei Huan hasn't even shown one tenth of his strength."
A battle is taking place in front, the enemy is eliminated, and then the team continues to rush forward. As the most lively stage, it has become the focus of attention.
At this time, Wei Huan's car slowly drove to the first fork in the road.
When he ordered the car to stop here, the two cars behind him also stopped.
Unlike the people in Wei Huan's car who were used to it, the people in these two cars kept looking outside.
We have already gone deep into the ruins, but it is still calm. Apart from Wei Huan's ghost, there are only ghosts here.
This made them seem very useless and feel very frustrated as they had already put on their combat uniforms and were ready to fight at any time.
Later, when they were drinking together, Captain Xue inadvertently expressed his feelings at that moment.
Liu Chengzhi put his arm around Captain Xue's shoulder and said, "It's okay, just get used to it."
Wei Huan is too strong, and the world level cannot catch up with his personal combat power.
Unless he rushed to the front, the difficulty of these worlds were all simple modes in his eyes.
He can crush the opponent by himself, so there is no need for others to take action.
"Why not learn from me? Since you can't find your place on the battlefield, find something to do in logistics. No matter how strong Boss Wei is, he still has to eat, right? Hahaha. Then I'll be useful."
Liu Chengzhi comforted the other person and himself in this way.
There was no fighting at the fork in the road, but it didn't seem empty.
In addition to the three vehicles, Wei Huan also set up eight portals here, and a steady stream of undead armies flew out from here.
At this time, Mu Zhong said: "Butler, please put the camera away."
"Okay, Captain Mu."
As Mu Zhong gave the order, four cameras flew out of Wei Huan's car.
However, the camera was only one big eye on its round body, which was the size of a soybean. It used the world-challenging floating technology and split into two parts and flew towards the depths of the two channels.
At the same time, additional images appeared on their projected screens.
If you compare carefully, you will find that the two extra pictures are just at the entrance where they came in.
It turned out that before coming in, Mu Zhong had already arranged the cameras.
These cameras were purchased from the points mall, costing 30 points each. They only have shooting functions and no defensive capabilities. They are easily damaged and are very high-value consumables.
At least ordinary challengers will not buy this thing unless they have to.
But is Wei Huanche short of points?
Wei Huan, who had no shortage of points, directly bought ten and asked Mu Zhong to arrange for their distribution. If there were not enough, he would continue to buy.
In this way, not only Wei Huan, but others also had a view of the front.
While Wei Huan was directing the battle, he glanced at the several projection screens in front of him. He could only say that it was better than nothing, and it was not as useful as the vision of the Lord of the Magic Eye.
Then he switched his vision to another road.
Unlike the other road where the fighting was fierce, there were only traps on this road, and no blue-bearded people were seen.
The undead seemed to be heading towards an increasingly remote direction, as if they were trying to leave the ruins.
And the reality is just like that. After encountering another fork in the road, the undead army split into two again.
Wei Huan had been locking onto the undead army that was walking in the outermost field of vision, and they arrived in front of a tightly closed gate.
The gate looked familiar, the same one they had come in through, but it was a normal gate, standing in the passage.
Wei Huan ordered the undead army to open the gate.
Although he didn't know what was on the other side of the door, he would never know the answer unless he opened it.
The heavy door was first given to the Facehugger, but when it was discovered that it couldn't be opened, the Earth Beast mother was arranged to open it.
The stronger female earth beast dug its long legs into the crack of the door and pulled it outwards, but the door did not budge at all.
Then he used a green net, stuck it to the door and pulled it, but it still wouldn't open.
Only then did Wei Huan begin to pay attention to this door.
He looked at the door carefully and soon found a clue.
Not only are there mysterious totemic runes on this door, but there are also traces of knocking, scratching, and digging. It feels like it has been attacked from the inside.
Wei Huan thought of something and looked at the door with a serious look.
So this closed door and these traces are because of an attempt to escape?
The treasure underground palace is an extremely special place, where some real ethnic life forms often live.
Unlike the treasure chest monsters that were sealed in the treasure chest, the monsters in these treasure crypts seemed to live here, and were peaceful most of the time. It was like a world of its own, preserving the flame of the tribe and multiplying.
Until the day the underground palace is opened, they become monsters in the underground palace. The strong ones among them will be forcibly bound to the treasure, and challengers must kill them if they want to get the treasure chest.
This is the contradiction that Challenge World deliberately creates.
So, knowing his fate, the blue-bearded man must have tried to escape, right?
Faced with this closed door, I tried various methods, but it was still useless.
When a new civilization eventually arrives to explore the treasure, they must rise up in resistance to ensure their survival.
"It's quite tragic."
At this moment, Mu Zhong's voice rang out in his ears. It turned out that the camera lens had also reached here and had been watching for an unknown period of time. I believe everyone must have seen the marks left on the gate from the camera lens.
Wei Huan frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Mu Zhong raise his voice and say, "There is no mercy in a civilized war. If we were the losers, we would be the ones imprisoned here waiting to be conquered. We should learn from this and always encourage ourselves!"
What a good sentence to take as a warning, what a good sentence to encourage oneself at all times, it instantly pulled everyone out of the emotions they shouldn't have.
Everyone in the car, including the other two connected cars, nodded to indicate they heard it.
The few viewers who had focused the live broadcast on the car were suddenly enlightened.
Yes, seeing the blue-bearded man in this state, they should not be merciful. It is too pitiful for him to be locked up like this and wait for his fate.
[We humans must go all out]
【Take this as a warning and encourage yourself at all times】
"This road is blocked." Wei Huan announced this after trying a few more times. Then the undead army withdrew from this road, leaving behind the gate covered with traces of blood and tears.
Going back, they met up with the undead army at the first fork in the road. Not long after that, they encountered resistance from the blue-bearded people.
The third-level blue-bearded people could not stop Wei Huan's undead army at all. Even if they had capable people and technological thermal weapons, facing the undead army that had been raised to the fourth level as a whole, they basically only needed the violent bear to crush them all the way.
Several routes were advanced very quickly, and many traces of the Bluebeard people's lives were discovered along the way.
Some civilization researchers were very happy and used the live broadcast function to stay in these areas for research, but the vast majority of the live broadcast viewers still followed the footsteps of the undead army and advanced deeper into the underground palace.
Almost everyone forgot that this time period was supposed to be another live broadcast, and the other party had been preparing for this live broadcast for a long time.
Even Peng Hai’s die-hard fans have completely forgotten about this incident.
Level 4 world.
In front of the ruins of the golden treasure chest.
Peng Hai and his one hundred chariots were scattered in the wind for a long time, until his hurriedly returning men whispered something in Peng Hai's ear.
Peng Hai's face changed from anger to resentment, then to helplessness and curiosity. Finally, he gritted his teeth and announced, "Disband!"
The drivers he recruited were puzzled and called to ask the reason. After learning the truth, they actually showed the same expression as Peng Hai.
Then a train captain said, "Can I see Boss Peng?"
Boss Peng's deputy driver said, "Boss Peng has gone back to Blue Star to watch the live broadcast. You guys should hurry up and watch it too. I'm leaving too. We'll talk later."
"Ah, this, this..."
So we watched as the hundreds of cars gathered here disappeared one after another, returning to the rest space.
After a while, there was no car left on the ground, only the dark cave made a lonely "humming" sound.
In the challenge live broadcast room, seven or eight hundred people quietly appeared and quickly joined in the discussion with others.
[The strength of Wei Huan's undead army is a bit exaggerated. Each individual is so strong, he truly is an army of one.]
[Don't forget, Mu Zhong hasn't made a move yet. This undead army could be even stronger.]
[Now I understand how Wei Huan killed 100,000 Dark Beast Lords. They were incredibly powerful.]
Peng Hai watched the live broadcast in his private cinema, with his confidant and a man with a slightly high hairline sitting behind him.
The man was in his thirties and not young anymore, but not old either. His face looked quite vicious, like a guy wielding a sword on the streets of the old society, with the word "bad" almost written all over his face.
If Wei Huan were here, he would recognize that he was Peng Zheng, the man he had sent back to Blue Star, and also Peng Hai's nephew.
"Uncle," Peng Zheng called Peng Hai. "Wei Huan didn't start earlier or later, but had to wait until you were about to go live to steal your limelight. I think he did it on purpose. Once he reaches the fourth-level highway, he'll be in your territory. You have to teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful you are!"
After Peng Zheng said this, he waited for a long time. Peng Hai didn't say anything, but just puffed on his cigar.
The entire cinema was filled with his pungent yet fragrant smoke, and as the screen flickered, it was sometimes dark blue and sometimes bright white.
Peng Zheng couldn't wait any longer, so he leaned forward, held onto the back of Peng Hai's chair, and wanted to speak.
But before he could speak, Peng Hai spoke first: "Old Zhao, please use the family rules."
Peng Zheng pulled his hand back from the back of the chair as if he had been electrocuted, and stared at me with his clear and stupid eyes: "Uncle, if I said something wrong, you can punish me!"
Old Zhao received the order and stood up to get the ruler. Seeing Peng Zheng still looking aggrieved, he said helplessly, "Young Sect Master, don't you still understand what kind of person your uncle is?"
"I..." Peng Zheng bit his lip and stammered aggrievedly, "I just feel sorry for my uncle. This operation cost so much money..."
"Still talking!" Old Zhao scolded. "Stop saying such divisive words! In the challenge world, we humans are one race, and on Blue Star, we share the same interests in Daxia! The Sect Master is scheming against the legions of other countries at the front. Who do you think will support us when we're in trouble? Without a strong Daxia, we wouldn't be as powerful as the Qianmen coming from all directions. Wei Huan is one of the few who are destined to stand at the forefront. Let alone stealing the Sect Master's live broadcast, even if he wanted to seize the ruins that the Sect Master has set his eyes on, there would be no irreconcilable contradiction!"
Peng Zheng blinked, and there was still a hint of humiliation deep in his eyes. He remembered the frustration of being sent back to Blue Star by Wei Huan, which made him a laughing stock among his friends.
But at this time he could only nod obediently and said obediently: "I understand, Uncle Zhao."
Peng Hai took another puff of his cigarette and gestured without turning his head.
Peng Zheng was taken away by Lao Zhao to receive the family discipline.
Peng Hai watched the live broadcast very attentively from beginning to end, with only pure curiosity about Wei Huan's abilities in his eyes.
Just like what Lao Zhao said, he knows what is good and what is bad, and knows who gave him his glory.
It was because Daxia needed such an organization to gather all the "wild factions" together that he came from all directions to the Qianmen, not because he did anything that required the country to recognize his organization.
He just happened to be there at the right time, and he understood and saw everything clearly.
What Peng Hai was most proud of in his life was that he was able to use his brain to catch this huge pie.
So, is Wei Huanqiang a threat to him?
No!
Not only that, there are even huge benefits. He just hopes that Wei Huan will become stronger and stronger.
…
"Peng Hai announced the disbandment on the spot and returned to Blue Star."
"Are there any unusual reports from Blue Star?"
"No, the people in the house said that he returned to Blue Star and watched the live broadcast in a private theater. However, in the middle of it, Peng Zheng was pulled out and beaten with a stick. He was also loudly scolded and told that he shouldn't sow discord between Daxia and the other family."
"Oh, this Peng Hai is really a talented person. No matter what he thinks, he arranged this to tell us that this matter is completely over."
"What a clever person."
He shifted his gaze away from Peng's residence, and the latest news reached Mu Dehao's ears like lightning.
Mu Dehao listened to the adjutant's report and stood up.
On the side, Commander Chai looked at him and asked, "Not watching anymore?"
Mu Dehao nodded: "I can't leave anyone behind at the front. I'll go first."
Commander Chai nodded halfway and reminded, "Don't forget to deal with Peng Hai's matter."
Mu Dehao nodded: "It's nothing serious, I'm just keeping an eye on it."
"That's fine." Commander Chai wanted to shut up, but after looking at Mu Dehao, he said, "The reputation of Major Wei and Major Mu is the reputation of our Qinglong Army. Anyone who denies them face is denying the reputation of the Qinglong Army."
Mu Dehao smiled broadly, "Commander Chai, you're right. If these two children are strong, the Azure Dragon Army will be even stronger. With unity from top to bottom, we can definitely regain Daxia's position as the strongest army."
"Okay, then I'll have to work on you challenging the world."
The old foxes made their remarks with witty remarks, and naturally everyone was happy.
Commander Chai watched Mu Dehao leave, and when he looked at the projection screen in front of him, his eyes finally softened.
There is no absolute right or wrong on the road to power, only countless calculations and compromises.
But strength is only divided into strong and weak.
…
In the projection screen, the cameras are now divided into five groups. Except for the main camera which is always aimed at Wei Huan, battles are taking place in the other four screens.
The blue-bearded men were distributed in every passage to block the undead army from breaking in. Faced with their increasing numbers and more powerful combat power, the vanguard of the undead army also changed from facehuggers to zombie violent bears.
Moreover, the zombie bears that returned to the battlefield after death were all larger. They received Mu Zhong's attribute blessings, and their endurance and strength were tripled.
The defense line that could initially hold back the undead attack was soon broken through, and the undead army continued to advance deeper.
But there was also a passage where the undead army encountered extremely stubborn resistance.
This passage is obviously the main road of this underground palace. It is more spacious and has many defensive fortifications.
There are also blue-bearded warriors hiding behind the fortifications, among whom there are some who may have reached the fourth level or have relatively outstanding strength.
In particular, the Bluebeard people use a device similar to space gravity. Once the undead army enters the area, they will be crushed by gravity, their speed will slow down, and they will become sitting ducks.
Even the zombie bear, which had added attributes and endurance of up to 4000, fell down before it could even get halfway.
Wei Huan also tried to hide the facehugger under the belly of the zombie bear, but it was useless.
The distance that the zombie bear advanced was too short, and the facehugger was killed instantly as soon as its head showed up.
They successfully stopped Wei Huan's undead army.
Because of the live broadcast, Wei Huan, who had planned to keep a secret, decided to give up. This style of play where the opponent advances step by step was not in line with his habits and was simply a waste of his time.
Wei Huan had an idea, and the big bear walked out of the portal with two "flying monkey kites" hanging around his neck. Under Wei Huan's command, he rushed towards the battlefield with a rumbling sound like a tank.
Many people in the live broadcast room are paying attention to the battle situation here.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a preliminary exchange of fire. Wei Huan still has many tricks up his sleeve."
"Yes, don't worry, the legendary bomb hasn't appeared yet."
Just then, the big bear appeared.
As soon as it appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.
"Wow wow wow! What is this? Has it appeared before? Is this Wei Huan's trump card?"
"Look behind the undead, there's a big guy coming!!"
I saw a huge monster rushing towards the middle of the undead army, and as it moved, the undead army parted the sea to make way for it.
It was too big. It was half a body taller than the already extremely tall Violent Bear. And because of Mu Zhong's blessing, its shoulder height alone, with its six legs touching the ground, was nearly seven meters, almost filling the entire passage.
The undead who wanted to give way had to get under its belly, try to make themselves as small as possible, and be careful not to be trampled to death.
Such a huge creature gives people a sense of oppression as soon as it appears.
Moreover, although it is large, it is not bulky at all. It runs with a majestic posture, arrives at the forefront of the battle with a sense of oppression, and rushes into the area shrouded by gravity without stopping.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, everyone felt its suddenly heavy shoulders, and its thick thighs even left deep claw marks on the alloy ground.
While being enveloped by gravity, various attacks also descended upon it.
Fire, ice attacks, beatings, lightning strikes, and mucus transformed into a huge whip, hitting it head-on on the nose.
“Bang!”
The big bear's nose was broken and his eyeballs were almost popped out.
The damage of this whip was beyond the capabilities of ordinary bluebeards, and many undead fell to this blow. Often, a single whip could shatter a walking corpse bear.
But the big bear just endured it, waiting for the force to disappear, then it adjusted its posture and continued to move forward.
The blue-bearded man was obviously panicking, and he launched more intensive attacks on the big bear. The bear was so big that there was no need to aim, he just had to attack madly.
The big bear endured all the attacks, and a slime whip appeared in front of it again, and with another "snap" sound, it hit its head hard.
The big bear's skull shattered with a "crack" sound, and its entire nose was sunken into the skull. Its two eyeballs popped out with a "pop", and hung on its face wrapped in a black film, shaking.
But even so, it is still moving forward.
The undead's advantage of having no sense of pain is fully utilized here. As long as its endurance remains, it can continue to move.
One meter, two meters, five meters...
It silently endured all the attacks. Its head was almost cut off by the powerful whip, and its left front leg was completely cut off.
But it hasn't fallen down yet and is still moving forward.
There were only two flying monkeys behind him, and they disappeared at some point.
A total of 3600 stamina was shared out.
That is to say, in the past half minute, the total damage suffered by the big bear exceeded 7200.
7200 HP dropped, and there's extra HP? If you tell anyone about it, everyone's jaws will drop.
At present, even though humans have already reached level five, not many people can possess 7200 endurance.
Not to mention the basic 3,000 endurance that Big Bear already possesses, plus the endurance attribute given by Mu Zhong, his total endurance is as high as 13,000.
As Wei Huan's number one meat tank, Big Bear has truly become a skilled player after having Flying Monkey share the damage.
The terrifying amount of blood that far exceeds the current world level finally became the mountain that crushed the Bluebeard people.
The big bear finally reached the defensive line, raised its intact right front paw and slammed it down hard.
"Bang!"
The instrument that created the gravity magnetic field was completely destroyed, the gravity in the channel disappeared, and the bodies of the undead army returned to normal.
The green eyes looked at the fleeing blue-bearded men like hungry beasts, and then the entire army attacked.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
“Swishing!”
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The undead army surged out from behind the big bear with bared fangs and claws, chasing the fleeing blue-bearded people like a raging wave. Once they were bitten, they would be torn to pieces, leaving no one alive.
A crazy killing feast ignited all the blood on the Blue Star, and the audience in the live broadcast room roared with excitement.
"So cool!! Kill!! Charge!!"
"I love this big bear!"
"Let's demolish the underground palace and bury the lost civilization forever!"
"This is a civilized war, the human race will win!!"
"The human race will win!"
