Chapter 216 Huge Building
They continued to move forward, and one after another they met some people whose bodies were stained purple, lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.
If it weren't for their still heaving bodies, no one would believe they were still alive.
Wei Huan put all these people into the belly of the underground beast. The equipment they carried with them was not picked up by the undead and was placed together with their bodies.
These equipments are only of gold grade at best, which he doesn't even look down upon. He is now fully equipped with platinum grade equipment, three pieces of diamond equipment and fragments of divine equipment.
But Jones and Cynthia were a little envious, but since Wei Huan didn't take it, they naturally didn't want to take it either.
However, the giant statues they carried were taken away and absorbed by Wei Huan.
Before he knew it, the giant statue had grown to the size of five heads, and was still floating roundly beside Wei Huan's shoulder, but vague angular lines seemed to appear on the stone.
"Are those features?" Jones asked.
Cynthia said, "Since it's a colossus, it's normal for it to have facial features."
"Could it be a Buddha statue?" Jones was a little expectant, as he had faith.
Cynthia said, "It can't be a Buddha statue. The data glasses show that this is a test from Titan. Do you know Titan?"
"An ancient creature, born great, with a gigantic body, capable of pluck stars and break the moon. Our people have researched that Pangu from Daxia legend might be a Titan, or the Hercules from European mythology. Also, the Vikings might have some Titan blood. In short, any creature with a powerful body could be a Titan."
After listening to Jones sing, Cynthia nodded: "So you see, it will definitely become a Titan in the end, if that."
When Wei Huan heard the two people agree, he also gradually opened up his mind.
All equipment that reaches the platinum level will have a suffix, some are "Gifts from the Stars", some are "Gifts from the Titans", and artifacts will also have "Gifts from ***", but the real name is concealed.
This shows that these specially mentioned lives may be some unknown forces or unknown species existing outside this world, and they are participating in the "Challenge World" as observers.
So, after passing this assessment, I might be able to understand Titan a little better. Can I also use this to get a glimpse of the truth of this world?
While thinking, Wei Huan used his soul to connect with the giant statue and carefully observed the changes in it.
The natural power within it has indeed become very strong, but it does not seem to have any consciousness. It is obvious that the fragments of the colossus have not been collected enough.
There is no way they are the only ones in this trial field.
As far as Wei Huan knew, Captain Fang and Agris had not seen it yet, and he believed that they should have the same way to deal with these purple spots as he did.
But we cannot underestimate the strongest people who rank at the top of the human race. They all have many unknown means, and strong combat ability is only one of them.
Wei Huan continued walking forward, and it seemed that half a day had passed. If he were outside, it would have been dark.
But here, the sky is always reddish purple to black, and the forests on the ground are not only shimmering purple, but many have withered due to the constant pollution, with only dead branches still barely standing.
The ground was covered with purple-black fallen leaves.
The black tones that are the same in the sky and on the ground make people feel extremely uncomfortable, as if they are in a space where breathing is poisonous, and it is difficult to relax.
Wei Huan picked up 9 people along the way. Except for Jones and Cynthia, the lives of the others were unknown.
But as we walked further, we couldn't see any one. It was obvious that most of the people here intended to run back after they realized something was wrong when they went deep into the purple forest.
Of course, those who are capable will continue to move forward, and it will not be Wei Huan’s turn to save them.
"Colonel Wei," Cynthia warned, "the pollution here is even worse."
Wei Huan was reminded to look up. How long had it been? Less than half an hour had already seen large purple patches appear on the body of the deceased. Was it slightly deformed?
Replacing the undead is a simple matter, but the unknown is what makes people afraid.
Fortunately, this time it didn’t take long before a different place finally appeared ahead.
"What is that?" Cynthia and Wei Huan discovered the abnormality almost at the same time.
She stood up and pointed ahead, at the end of a vast purple-red plain that had decayed and collapsed, turning from a forest. There seemed to be something new where the sky and the earth met. It was too far away to see clearly, but it was obviously different from the unchanging forest they had been walking through.
Wei gave the order, and the undead army sped up slightly and headed in that direction.
During this process, the shape of the abnormal object became clearer and clearer.
At first, it seemed as if there was a slender mountain standing on the earth. Gradually, I found that the mountain was tilted. Later, the mountain was no longer a mountain, but like a wooden stick piercing the earth. When it got closer, it became a mountain again. Because it was too big, even from such a distance, I could already see its grandeur, as if it was cutting across the world.
Running up the mountain will make you break your legs.
Even with such a straight flight and a speed of over 500 kilometers per hour, it took Wei Huan nearly 20 minutes to finally see what it was.
Cynthia shouted even faster: "Is that shape a foreign object that crashed down from the sky?"
It looks like a wooden stick broken in the middle, or a half-broken shuttle-shaped spaceship, or a celestial body dragging its tail like a meteor.
In short, it looked like something fell from outside and pierced diagonally deep into the ground.
Wei Huan made a lot of guesses, but he did not expect that the sudden change of purple spots seemed to be an invasion from outer space.
If this world had outer space.
In short, as they approached, the purple spots spread faster. When they were finally close enough to see the patterns on this thing, it took ten minutes to change the ground beast.
And as they got closer, this pointless assessment finally seemed to have some clues.
Wei Huan found a person who was still able to move under this object.
And he's an acquaintance.
Agris's whole body turned red, just like the blood servant demons she had recruited in the past. They looked very hideous without skin, and the blood mist was ten meters thick, wrapping her in the middle.
But since she was still able to move, and when Wei Huan appeared, she looked up and gazed at him, it could be confirmed that the blood and energy in her body came from herself, and she was using this method to resist the pollution of purple spots.
"Colonel Wei." Agris lifted her blood-red face and smiled. "You are always so impressive when you appear. I can tell it's you from a distance."
Then, Agris cast his eyes on the abdominal cavities of several other ground beasts and immediately discovered the abnormality.
"You are kind and never forget to be kind."
Wei Huan didn't exchange pleasantries, but ordered the ground beast to approach Agris and asked, "What did you find?"
Agris blinked and smiled, her blood-stained face showing an inexplicable charm. She had a slender figure, dancing with blood mist as she approached Wei Huan: "As soon as I came here, I asked, do you have anything to exchange?"
Wei Huan said, "I've already explored the edge of the assessment area. The way out is shrouded in white fog, a huge circle. We're trapped in the middle and can't leave."
Argyris's expression changed slightly, and he stopped teasing and said seriously, "I just came here a while ago and was looking for the entrance. I didn't see anyone else. Fang William and Jacques also came in. I believe they can get here. Maybe we need to wait a little longer, or maybe..." At this point, Argyris turned back to look at the huge purple-black object, "They found a way in."
"You can wait a little longer. Let me study it first." Wei Huan did not hesitate. He really needed to understand what was in front of him.
This is a "mountain" that pierces the earth obliquely. It is dark purple and black in color and is the culprit that pollutes the forest.
Looking closer, the material is very special, with special cuts like charcoal, and reflections like glass.
Of course, this thing couldn't be charcoal, because if you looked closely, you'd see some kind of energy flowing through the lines on it, like a deliberately carved magic pattern. However, after the violent impact, the magic pattern had shattered a little.
There were still a few complete ones. Wei Huan thought about it and summoned a facehugger. He took out a dagger from the storage bag and copied it.
The rune looked complicated, but it was not very difficult to copy it roughly. There was no change in the first two times. Just when Wei Huan thought that there was no doubt about what he was doing and was about to give up, the third and larger rune he copied suddenly made the face hugger glow.
The dazzling light attracted Agris to fly over suddenly.
She tilted her head, looked at the glowing facehugger and asked, "What is this?"
Wei Huan didn't say anything, because the facehugger died in such a short time. It took less than a second before it turned into ashes and fell to the ground.
What surprised Wei Huan was that he couldn't summon the facehugger from his own tomb.
As if purified by holy light, he encountered energy that could directly kill undead.
He immediately became wary of the light.
On the other side, Agris looked at his thinning blood mist and said, "This is a kind of energy that can restrain my flesh and blood energy. It feels terrible. So what exactly is this?"
Wei Huan motioned to Agris to look, and he summoned the facehugger and drew again. The facehugger once again released a dazzling light, and then died in an instant and turned into ashes.
Agris turned around in surprise to look at the huge purple-black object behind him. Looking at the magic patterns on it, some intact and some broken, his eyes widened little by little.
Finally, she said, "So you're saying that this thing that exudes an ominous aura actually has light-related magic patterns carved on it? And the magic patterns directly target the essence, so even those of us who are dark-related can use it?"
Wei Huan shook his head: "You can copy it, but you probably can't use it."
"So, what exactly is this thing?"
"have no idea."
"What's the meaning of your painting it?"
"Research."
"Have you figured it out?"
“Yes.”
"..." Agris's blood-red hair flew up behind him, and he shouted angrily, "It's so hard to talk to you. Can't you say a little more?"
Wei Huan ignored her anger and ordered the undead to take him to continue observing.
Agris was obviously used to being praised. When Wei Huan ignored her, she had no interest in coming up to him and flew away in the opposite direction.
After they were far apart, Cynthia suddenly said, "Colonel Wei, Major-General Frankling's statue is bigger than yours."
Wei Huan turned to look at her.
Cynthia lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Wei Huan frowned.
Cynthia was reminding him that Agris seemed to have collected quite a few Colossus fragments along the way, but no one was around her. So it was likely that she had taken those Colossus fragments and then left them to die, or perhaps... Agris had taken action.
Seeing Wei Huan's silence, Cynthia thought he didn't understand, so she couldn't help but remind him directly: "Perhaps the colossus is the door to these ruins, or it could be the clue to the test. If your colossus merges with hers, perhaps something will be triggered?"
Then, Cynthia leaned forward slightly and looked at Wei Huan expectantly: "Your strength is already higher than Admiral Frankling's. With the support of Captain Jones and me, we will definitely succeed in one fell swoop."
This time, Wei Huan really turned to look at her, but it was different from what she imagined. There was a cold smile in Wei Huan's eyes, which was different from what she thought.
The next second, a red shadow suddenly appeared and slammed into the ground beast where Cynthia was.
The fierce attack knocked the earth beast over, and then a spinning hit shattered the earth beast. Cynthia screamed and fell out of it, falling to the ground in a mess, exposed to the pollution.
"ah!"
Cynthia bounced back to her feet and rolled over, and a red-haired lioness with the same hair color as hers crashed to the ground.
The sharp claws had already protruded from the pads, but facing the red shadow, it did not dare to take action.
The red shadow rolled, and a blood servant appeared. The man in a tuxedo was handsome and evil. He floated in the air and looked at Cynthia without saying a word.
After a few seconds, the blood servant spoke, but it was Agris' voice that emanated, "What do you know about the relationship between Wei Huan and me? I hate women like you who sow discord the most. I'll kill any of them I see."
Cynthia was stunned for a moment and looked at Wei Huan in disbelief.
Wei Huan did not deny it.
Compared to this woman, Wei Huan indeed trusts Agris more. That "pillar of the human race" who could stand in front of the human race in the previous life and fight against the Dark Beast Lord with his flesh and blood, no matter how arrogant he is, her heart must be warm.
Of course, Wei Huan was not actually familiar with Agris. The only time they met was during the battle on the Five-Star Island, but that was not something a woman with ulterior motives could instigate.
Wei Huan and Agris would never engage in civil war, and this was a tacit understanding between them.
If necessary, Wei Huan did not mind giving the colossus in his hand to Agris.
Because of one thing, Wei Huan always believed that their ultimate goal of coming here to take risks was to lead the human race to defeat the Dark Beast Lord on the battlefield.
So anyone can do it, as long as she is willing to take on this responsibility.
Apparently, Agris thought the same. Through her blood servant, she said, "A mere trial and you want us to kill each other? Only fools like you are still immersed in the foolish dream of toying with the strong and manipulating the situation. Do you think you can win this war of civilizations with just one person? No wonder you can only stay in the fourth world and cannot enter the fifth world. Foolish things don't deserve to rise any higher."
Cynthia’s face looked extremely ugly.
More importantly, Wei Huan's ground beast did not come down to protect her. After her little thoughts were exposed, she obviously lost the protection of the two powerful men in front of her at the same time.
"I'm just helping you find a solution. What if this is the way to pass the test? You can't be trapped here to death, and there are people waiting outside..." Cynthia wanted to quibble.
Agris's blood servant suddenly attacked, slapping her away with a slap. She fell to the ground with a "pa". Agris chuckled: "Then give him mine. Is that difficult?"
Wei Huan stopped looking at Cynthia.
Order the undead army to leave here.
There is no need to keep a woman like this who cannot see the situation clearly and has too many ulterior motives around. Wait until she is contaminated. Whether she can be saved or not depends on her fate.
Wei Huan's abandonment frightened Cynthia. She screamed Wei Huan's name, first begging for his forgiveness, then apologizing loudly, and finally saying, "...You are a hero of mankind, and I am also human, why don't you protect me? You have hundreds of thousands of undead, why don't you spare one to protect me? I just need a little bit of your mercy, please."
Wei Huan didn't actually hear Cynthia's cries; he had already flown to a higher place with the aid of the Earth Beast. Even if he had heard them, he wouldn't have changed his mind.
Was this woman trying to blackmail him? He was indeed a hero, and indeed willing to shoulder the responsibility of saving humanity, but that didn't mean he would protect someone so scheming, someone who had no ability of their own but wanted to control the powerful through words.
Just when Wei Huan was at his wit's end, a blood shadow flew over, and a handsome blood servant revealed himself. He spoke with the voice of Agris: "Colonel Wei, I think I have discovered something. Come and see."
Wei Huan followed the blood servant and came to Agris.
Agris was also floating in the air. The rolling red clouds and her blood-red figure made her look very evil.
But Wei Huan, who was sitting among the pile of bones, was no less evil.
Agris pointed to a place ahead that didn't look unusual and said, "Many of the runes have ended up here."
Wei Huan looked carefully and found that it was indeed as she said. Moreover, looking at it again, he found that this stone wall that was nearly 100 meters high was very flat.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Huan found half a footprint under the stone wall.
"This is half a footprint, from the back of the foot. Someone has been here." Agris said in surprise, stepping on the half footprint with her small foot. "Oh, it's a men's shoe size."
Wei Huan guessed someone had gotten in. If it was Captain Fang, that would be even better, but of course Jacques would also be no problem. So the only thing left was how to get in.
Once the location is determined, it becomes much easier to reverse the process by checking for abnormalities.
Soon both of them discovered the direction of these magic patterns, and finally they all converged in one place.
Agris injected his energy into that spot, and the magic pattern instantly lit up, emitting a faint light.
Wei Huan noticed that the light was not purple, but a bright and dazzling light, just like what he had painted on the face hugger's shell before.
A flash of light appeared, and then a square door appeared in front of them. The door was very large, exactly the height of 100 meters that Wei Huan had observed before, down to the position of half the shoe print.
Agris was the first to land, and she stepped on the first half of the shoe print again. She turned and smiled at Wei Huan: "Look what happened, someone went in first."
Wei Huan was also excited and was looking forward to meeting Captain Fang William.
"Let's go in." Wei Huan said.
Agris flew up again. She glanced at Jones who was protected in the abdomen of dozens of facehuggers behind Wei Huan, as well as those people who had turned purple and didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and said nothing.
Wei Huan sent out the undead to explore forward, and the blood shadow of Agris also shuttled among the undead army he summoned. At the same time, Wei Huan also left a large number of undead behind him as a precaution.
But they had walked less than ten meters when their vision suddenly darkened and when they looked back, the exit behind them was gone.
In addition, Wei Huan actually lost contact with the undead outside.
"The Blood Shadow Demon has lost contact." Agris obviously felt the same way and looked at Wei Huan with a serious expression.
Wei Huan recruited the undead that were isolated outside the tomb and said, "It's just that the internal and external energies are isolated, not that they are under attack."
Agris also reacted at this time. After relaxing, he said, "I know you want to leave the dead to guide the way. That woman might be able to change her fate after entering. Unfortunately, the God of Fate is not on her side. Let's go. Who knows what awaits us ahead."
Wei Huan followed Agris silently. He had many reasons for leaving the undead outside. He believed that there were still some strong but slow people who had not arrived yet. It would be best if he could save them time in searching.
As for Cynthia… Cynthia was nearby when they came in, so she should be able to find a way in.
On the contrary, there seemed to be no polluting energy in here. After entering, his undead spirit had stopped changing.
However, Wei Huan has more important things to do. He will not act like a saintly father. He wants to save every life. If he can explore the secret of Titan, it may be beneficial to all mankind.
Wei Huan and Agris flew away along the passage.
The passage is a hundred meters high, just like the entrance, and you can fly easily.
Finally, seeing Wei Huan flying easily on a ground beast, Agris simply found a ground beast to sit on.
After taking a look at Jones, he asked Wei Huan, "How much do you know about the descendants of the fifth-level world? Tell me all about it in one breath."
Wei Huan said without turning his head: "Everything that needs to be announced has been announced. The rest is all business."
"You know this is not conducive to unity?"
Wei Huan, however, was not deceived by her moral coercion. Instead, he asked, "Do you want to join my alliance contract? Under the strategic alliance, you can obtain more detailed intelligence."
"I would like to, but unfortunately reality doesn't allow it. Is there no other way to share information?"
"Yes, once I reach the level six world, all the information about the level five world will be revealed."
"You should be able to go to the sixth-level world soon, right?"
"We'll be leaving in three months."
"Tsk, I want to move on, but those old guys won't agree."
"Humanity's foundation in the Level 5 world is still unstable."
"Okay, I know that. With you ahead, we can all enter the next world faster. But... how on earth did you, a monster like you, show up? Last year, I hadn't even heard of your name, and then in the blink of an eye, you went from being the Rookie King to being ahead of me. The last time we fought, it was clear that you were far stronger than me. Do you have any secrets?" Without waiting for Wei Huan to answer, Agris continued, "That's right. You're the only gravekeeper in the world, and all the resources of the sequence are concentrated in your hands. It's only natural that you're strong."
