Chapter 207 Opening the Treasure Chest
After about a week, Wei Huan finally arrived at Five Star Island.
They could have gone faster, but along the way, they went to several other legions to pick up the construction team's chariots, and also met Captain Fang again for a drink.
Captain Fang mentioned the "Titan Assessment" again, saying that he had obtained the "Assessment Qualification" and that the two could then work together to overcome the challenge.
Wei Huan didn't know what the content of the assessment was, so he agreed to it for the time being and said he would adapt to the situation.
After separating from Captain Fang, Wei Huan opened some low-level treasure chests along the way, allowing Xu Qingqiang to replenish his prison.
Until this day, after arriving at the Five Star Island, Xu Qingqiang looked at the gold-level treasure chest flashing on the map and suddenly said, "If I can devour this gold-level monster, maybe I can upgrade the Endless Prison."
Wei Huan, who was also observing the Five Star Island, was drawn to it.
Mu Zhong, who also looked over, asked, "Brother Qiang, please elaborate."
Xu Qingqiang raised his eyebrows. "Nothing much to elaborate on. It's very simple. As the prison contains more monsters and their quality becomes high enough, I can upgrade to a higher-level warden."
"A higher-ranking warden?" Mu Zhong pondered. "So if you can level up, you can appoint a lower-ranking warden, and thus divide up this Endless Prison?"
"I think so." Xu Qingqiang crossed his legs and smoked, with a hint of pride in his squinting peach blossom eyes.
Mu Zhong was very smart and immediately thought of the most crucial point: "Then you will become the supreme leader of the criminal sequence."
Xu Qingqiang raised his eyebrows, and his smile became a little more ostentatious.
Mu Zhong continued, "Now that you have control over the criminal rank, you can even recruit unofficial criminals? The lone wolves and some powerful teams in the fourth-level world are all criminal ranks, and they are also the most difficult to control. But if they still want to become stronger, you have to take the Endless Prison from you. Not only will you be able to control them, but it will also help you advance to a higher level?"
Xu Qingqiang smiled: "The higher my level, the more attribute bonuses I get, and the stronger I will be. Besides, if you are disobedient, I can take back the authority of the warden at any time."
Mu Zhong lowered his eyes and thought for two seconds, then smiled sincerely: "Brother Qiang, you are about to take off."
Xu Qingqiang was beaming with joy, almost dying of happiness.
Wei Huan was also listening attentively, and the more he thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed.
Unlike the "selflessness" of most other professional training grounds, "Endless Prison" fully demonstrates the class oppression system of criminals.
By using the position of "warden", layers of suppression are implemented to achieve the effect of control, thus restraining the uncontrollable sequence of criminals.
It is worthy of being a "professional limited edition" that challenges the world. It is very strong and amazing!
Wei Huan finally looked at the gold treasure chest icon on the map and said, "So, all we need is one gold-level monster to advance?"
Xu Qingqiang chuckled and said, "That's about right. Upgrading the prison requires a massive amount of low-level monsters, but quality can also represent quantity."
"I understand." Wei Huan nodded, his skin cold and pale, his eyes dark. "It's a small matter. You will be able to upgrade soon."
"Hehehe."
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan with a gloomy face, then at Xu Qingqiang with a twisted smile, and couldn't help but smile with his hand on his forehead.
From a universal perspective, their car doesn't look like a good one at all.
But in this case, there is no need to abide by the standards of a good person.
Facing Osham, whose main strategy is to "drag", what we need to do is to cut the Gordian knot and not give them time to react.
So Wei Huan made a risky decision this time.
He ordered the gamblers on the chariot to form a stealth team.
The fourth sequence of the gambler is [Shadowless], who is good at stealth and is the king of action in the dark.
This gambler team consists of five people, two Sequence Five: Stacked Blast, and three Sequence Four: Shadowless. Their only mission is to set off now, break through the blockade of Osham, and enter the depths of the ruins where the golden treasure chest is located.
Also, put down a few little corvids.
Once this happens, the dog-headed people will become the floodgates of the dam, and Osham will no longer be able to stop them.
"...So, your mission is very important and must be completed." Mu Zhong said.
The gamblers who rarely get special tasks are all excited and determined, and they are all happy to have such an opportunity.
The gamblers and other professionals who had not been assigned any tasks were looking at them with envy.
Who knows, dear ones! They used to be the elite of each challenge army, carrying out the most dangerous yet proud special missions. But now the commander is too powerful, and they don't even have a chance to fight. It's really frustrating to feel like a hero without a place to use his skills!
Besides, the DKP given by special missions is three times that of normal battles! High-level equipment is beckoning!
Triple the DKP, yet the mission's danger level is significantly lower than before—who wouldn't want a mission like this? Just a little bit of risk, they don't care at all. They just hope there will be more of these missions in the future!
The stealth team left happily with the three little dog-headed men, under the envious gazes of others.
As they left, Wei Huan's chariot also opened the stealth layer and sneaked in very low-key to ensure that both parties were within his summoning range.
From the Ghost Crow's reconnaissance, it can be seen that Osham has indeed made careful and thorough arrangements.
The first line of defense was established within an eight-kilometer radius, and the frequent patrols of tanks were probably to guard against his appearance.
Unfortunately, Osam didn't know that his actual summoning distance was 15 kilometers, and it would be even farther when he reached Sequence Five.
The blue icon of the stealth team kept flashing on the small map. Captain Xue, who was responsible for remotely controlling them, also said that the stealth mission went very smoothly.
Although Osham's strict defenses were layered, they also helped the stealth team clear out the monsters along the way. In the end, they only needed to guard against Osham's warriors.
Time passed slowly, and Wei Huan's soul, which was immersed in the tomb, was touched, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
Then, he saw the big dog-headed man who had been waiting here for a long time, squinting his eyes and hooking his hands, looking at him respectfully.
Then its body moved slightly, and a puppy-headed man on its shoulder appeared like a nesting doll, also looking at him respectfully with narrowed eyes and hooked hands.
Thor, who doesn't have the strongest defense but has the lowest presence, was the first to step forward.
Wei Huan assigned him the task of being a vanguard, so naturally, the more low-key this mission was, the better.
Hammer Brother had a calm expression, holding a sledgehammer in his hand. He didn't look like he was going out on an adventurous mission, but rather like he was going out to chop wood.
He stood in front of the puppy-headed man, and when the puppy-headed man opened his mouth, he suddenly disappeared into the mouth.
The puppy's avatar looked like it had eaten food, with its Adam's apple sliding and swallowing movements. It waited for two seconds and then looked at the person in front of it.
This time, the person standing in front of it was Xu Qingqiang.
Xu Qingqiang did not transform, for fear that he would ruin the operation when he was not fully conscious. He maintained his original appearance and was swallowed by the puppy-headed man.
Without waiting for the cooldown of the Doghead Man to end, Captain Xue stepped forward first, but was pinned down by Wei Huan who stood up.
"I'll go first." Wei Huan said.
Captain Xue was worried about Wei Huan's safety, but he also knew that this was an order he could not refuse, so he just frowned and stepped aside.
Just at this moment, the puppy man completed the transmission CD and opened his mouth to him at Wei Huan's command.
A flash before my eyes.
When Wei Huan opened his eyes again, everything was pitch black, the air was damp and hot, and there was a fishy smell.
At the same time, Hammer Brother and Xu Qingqiang were in front of him, with their backs to him, keeping watch in all directions.
“Swish!”
A refreshing sound appeared in silence.
Immediately behind Wei Huan, eight portals appeared at the same time, as if a screen had been opened. Light flowed in the dark portals, and they were slowly rotating.
One by one, white bones with terrifying and hideous appearance and emitting a dark aura jumped out from inside.
The first batch included Brother Anal Digger, Big Bear, and Sister Crow.
Under Wei Huan's order, they dispersed to farther places as soon as they appeared, replacing the guard work of Hammer Brother and Xu Qingqiang.
Then ordinary undead began to appear and quickly filled the space.
Captain Xue hurriedly jumped out of the little dog-headed man's mouth, looked around very vigilantly, and then let out a tense breath.
At this time, Wei Huan had already set his sights on the golden treasure chest ten meters away, as well as the two "Stacked Explosions" who showed up with their appearance.
There are only two people in the stealth team here.
There were no casualties, but the Osham Legion's guarding of this place was extremely strict, which prevented the other three "Shadowless" with only Sequence Four from sneaking in.
Finally, they used a tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, creating an opportunity for the two to burst together and successfully sneak in.
But such quiet time is running out.
If such an abnormality occurs, unless Osham's generals are fools, they will immediately arrange for people to check the key supplies.
Peace here won't last long.
So what we need to do next is also very simple.
Wei Huan's eight portals opened wide, with the fastest army of wolves below and the army of ghost crows with the fastest movement speed in the world above. They poured out of the portals together, and piled out densely under the leadership of their respective hero units.
"Pile" is not about pushing, but about being so densely packed that there is no place to stand. It even squeezes out three or four layers, filling up the passage of the ruins.
Soon, this terrifying scene, like a huge wave of bones, encountered the first team of Osham team ordered to come and explore.
“Boom boom boom—”
"Be careful what is that?"
"retreat!"
Vehicles cannot enter or exit the ruins. Although this team has many Sequence Fives, after losing the protection of the thick iron shell, they have to enter the ruins with their physical bodies. After sensing the abnormality inside the ruins, they have only one reaction.
Just retreat, retreat, retreat!
Before they could fully understand the cause of the anomaly, the team started running away.
There were chariots and more companions outside, so why not run? Could it be that they really had to rely on just a few of them to fight?
What if the gold-level treasure chest is opened?
Even if there were another hundred of them, they probably wouldn’t be a match for us!
Osham's challenger turned and ran.
At the same time, a portal behind Wei Huan opened and the wolf army rushed out and stopped.
Then a three-meter-long Shuroma with dark skin and oily hair, which was different from its peers, jumped out lightly.
But unlike other undead, as soon as Shuroma came out, he was firmly grasped by countless gray-white illusory hands and could not move a step. He was so anxious that he made a "ho ho ho" sound.
There is no doubt that this is Mo Ji.
It is also the only "anchor point" on the human side before Xu Qingqiang fully grows up.
How can you open the advanced treasure chest without it!
With this, the preparations for the early battle are completed, and all the undead and combat forces are in place.
Under the watchful eyes of Osham, of course we have to fight quickly and decisively.
Wei Huan is about to order the undead to open the treasure chest...
"Boss, wait a minute." At the same time, Captain Xue, Hammer Brother, and the two stacked blasters spoke at the same time. Xu Qingqiang even dodged and stood between the golden treasure chest and Wei Huan.
Then everyone said almost in unison: "You go back first."
Wei Huan: “…”
I am really touched and helpless.
Finally nodded and went back obediently.
However, before going back, Wei Huan left behind enough little dog-headed men and the Demon Eye Lord to provide vision.
Wei Huan returned to the car, but before he could even stand still, Mu Zhong grabbed his wrist and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wei Huan nodded.
What could possibly happen? Everyone treated him like a fragile doll, wanting to protect him with their lives. Although he didn't need it, it was not bad to enjoy this feeling.
Turning around again, green flames flickered in Wei Huan's eyes.
Vision descends.
As the golden treasure chest opened, a dazzling light flashed.
The battle begins!
…
"What? Wei Huan is killing the gold treasure chest? How did he get in? What are you all doing?!"
The official of Osham was the first to know that Wei Huan had taken action against the golden treasure chest.
After all, it was the fountain of bones that "piled" up the ruins, and the skeletons of those brave and warlike running wolves that looked extremely familiar. Apart from Wei Huan, no one else in the world possessed this strange power.
The people of Osham were firmly blocked outside the ruins by the impact of the huge fountain of bones.
"Contact Daxia immediately! I want to ask Mu Dehao what they want to do?!"
"Fight! Push them in! We can't let them get what we can't get!"
"Attack with the chariot! Blast directly! Since he is capable of such a thing, I will leave his life here today!"
"Hurry up! Kill him!"
The mad General Osam ordered the death of Wei Huan.
The troops stationed near the Golden Ruins gathered immediately after receiving the order. A total of 14 tanks arrived in front of the ruins, lined up in a row, and bombarded the Undead army at the entrance of the ruins.
Large numbers of wolves died, but many of them moved flexibly under the command of Brother Diao'an.
The wolves, who absolutely obeyed orders, performed an art of war that all human commanders would yearn for. They were like long white snakes swimming around, some attracting firepower, and some responsible for cover. When they came to their senses again, a team of wolves had arrived under the vehicle at some point, suddenly jumped up, and opened their bloody mouths towards the tank.
The protective shield on the tank successfully blocked the attack of the running wolves, but as the more and more running wolves circled around the vehicle and could not be killed, the commander in the tank broke out in a cold sweat and felt fear and tension in his heart.
This is all out of respect for Wei Huan.
There was also a tank captain who always held the belief that Osham would never be defeated. After a fierce bombardment, he was targeted by both the Ghost Crow and the Big Bear.
Ghost crows fell onto the protective shield like rain, madly consuming the shield's energy.
The big bear roared, raised his arms high and hugged the chariot fiercely. The chariot suddenly shook, and the protective shield flickered, and finally broke with a "pop".
The completely exposed car body was swarmed by the undead. Even with various external weapons, it was impossible to kill all the undead.
The loss of vehicle shell is decreasing rapidly.
Facing the horde of undead, the team of 14 chariots could only advance at a snail's pace, little by little, and finally reached the ruins with great difficulty.
But the narrow entrance to the ruins became a natural barrier blocking Osam.
At this point, the chariot could no longer move forward.
But if we send out a challenger, who can withstand the endless attack of the undead?
"We can't go any further! You must leave your vehicles and fight! My heroes, guardians of Osham, now is your time to fight for your country!
Invade the ruins, stop Wei Huan, and if possible... kill him!"
The tank commanders formed combat teams at the first opportunity and passionately encouraged all the soldiers to fight to the death.
"For Osham! For faith! Charge!!"
Hundreds of melee fighters jumped down from the chariots. The moment they landed, hair grew on their bodies, and then their bodies swelled until they landed on all fours, transforming into strong, huge, and ferocious black bears.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
Roaring, he charged headfirst into the group of undead.
Behind them was the King of War, covered in steel armor and holding a giant axe; and there was a gambler whose figure was ethereal and who suddenly flashed behind the undead and attacked.
In addition, there are angels who are protected by melee professions and surrounded by various ranged professions. They wave their staffs and holy white light falls down. Either a teammate is shocked, or the undead are purified and fall down, and they can't even return to the tomb.
Hunters drive wild beasts to share the pressure of close combat, draw their bows and arrows, and the arrows whiz towards them; wise men control all kinds of brilliant elements and bring down various forms of attacks on the undead, which may be cold, hot, surging earth dragons, or dancing vines.
At the same time, the beautiful high shaman performed a wild and enchanting dance that was sexy and wild. Amid the "dong dong dong" drum beats, a breath of ancient times descended.
The miracle worker even grabbed the stars in the sky, shining brightly, and sang loudly: "I judge--!!"
However, before the next word could be uttered, the starlight flickered and disappeared.
Not successful?
The miracle worker with the power of prophecy took action but failed to predict victory, which was like pouring a bucket of cold water on all the challengers who were fighting fiercely.
The atmosphere was frozen.
Unable to determine victory, was this a sign of defeat? But that seemed reasonable. They were trying to kill Wei Huan with just these people, even without the chariot. How could that be possible? What were they thinking? Wei Huan could kill diamond-level monsters!
Losing is too normal.
But morale was affected.
This is also the reason why the fortune teller sequence is not popular among professionals.
Just like the Shaman whose Weakness CD is too long, they are not welcome in ordinary battles unless they are fighting desperately.
As the fortune teller's judgment failed, the speed of the ruins' advancement slowed down a lot.
The vanguard finally squeezed into the passage of the ruins. When they were hesitating whether to fight hard when they were sure to lose, someone suddenly discovered that the army of undead blocking the way ahead seemed to be much smaller.
"Did it work?" An incredulous voice rang out, "Wei Huan's follow-up force is insufficient, brothers, charge!"
"But the prophet..."
"Can't you change your fate? The prophet said you would die, so you're going to die now?"
“…”
"Charge in! Quick, quick, quick! Seize the opportunity, it's time to make a contribution!!"
As a loud shout echoed in the passage, the already discouraged assault team regained their enthusiasm and frantically slaughtered the undead army blocking their way ahead.
"kill!"
“Kill, kill, kill!”
After a frantic battle, the panting burly warrior came back to his senses, straightened his chest again, looked at the empty passage ahead, and a look of victory appeared on his face.
"Win?"
He opened his thick lips, his smile gradually widened, his face full of pride: "I beat Wei Huan, hahahaha, I beat Wei Huan."
After saying that, he ran forward with big strides, as if afraid that someone would steal his credit, and quickly disappeared into the dark passage.
But behind him, the other Osham challengers who crowded the passage were far less happy than him. Some even frowned and looked more cautious.
Wei Huan would not be defeated so easily. They were just some running wolves and ghost crows, not even 20% of Wei Huan's true strength.
But why did the undead disappear?
What is Wei Huan planning?
still? ?
“Bang, bang, bang!” The earth-shaking sound of running feet could be heard. A burly man holding a two-handed axe shouted as he ran, “Wei Huan, come out! Don’t hide! I’ve seen you. Let’s fight to the death!!”
As he ran, he rushed into caves one after another. Even when he saw an underground river, he jumped in without fear.
Until he came to the depths of the ruins, where the golden treasure chest he had seen countless times was.
He climbed out of the underground river wetly, and his eyes suddenly fixed on a certain place.
"Where's the chest? The golden treasure chest is missing? Wei Huan is missing too?"
Yes, the golden treasure chest that was placed in a conspicuous place is nowhere to be found.
The golden treasure chest disappeared, and Wei Huan didn't see it either.
The strong man from Osham couldn't believe his eyes and walked around aimlessly in this small space for several times.
Finally, his companions appeared cautiously.
Just like him, everyone's expression changed after seeing the golden treasure chest disappeared.
Then he showed an extremely surprised expression.
"How could it be? This is a golden treasure chest. Even Wei Huan can't open it so silently, right?"
Someone muttered to himself, expressing what everyone was thinking.
Unbelievable, horrifying...all sorts of emotions flooded into my heart, followed by a feeling of relief.
If it were Wei Huan, it would be entirely possible for him to kill the monster in the golden treasure chest quickly and quietly.
Fortunately, he has left, so I don’t have to risk my life to complete the task.
Osham's commandos finally explored the ruins and confirmed that there was really no Wei Huan or golden treasure chest inside, so they had no choice but to leave the ruins.
As soon as the last person left the ruins, the entrance to the ruins became illusory, and soon the entire ruins disappeared, leaving only the steep mountain and half of the cliff.
The sea breeze blew by, like a ghost gently touching the neck. Countless people suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold, and their hair stood on end.
