Chapter 217 Teamwork?
Hearing this, for some reason, Wei Huan suddenly thought of the endless tombs he saw after he descended into the tomb through the Demon Eye Lord.
Wei Huan can recruit fewer and fewer undead in his own tomb. He is afraid that soon all the undead in the tomb will be wiped out by him.
As for how many there were in the tomb, he didn't know, but judging by the numbers on the tomb, it obviously didn't match the number of dark beasts. Not to mention how many dark beasts had died in the past tens of millions of years, even at the moment, the number of dark beasts must be in the billions, right?
This means that you will definitely face the situation where there are no undead to recruit in your own tomb.
Does that mean that if he wants to recruit more, he has to go to other cemeteries? And do other cemeteries have their own gravekeepers?
Wei Huan was lost in thought and didn't pay attention to what Agris said afterwards. When he came to his senses, the road had come to the end and there was light ahead.
"Finally, something different. We've walked about a hundred kilometers, right? Although it looks huge from the outside, I didn't expect it to be so huge inside as well."
Agris is different from her reputation in the outside world. She is a bit talkative and has the innocence of a young girl. Compared with Qi Jialu who impressed Wei Huan, although her ability seems ordinary now, she has an unforgettable charm.
Wei Huan would usually choose to remain silent when faced with such a chatterbox and would not engage in a back-and-forth conversation with her.
Agris didn't care and was happy to say it.
Soon, they came to the white light, and at the same time, under the dazzling light, there were several human figures swaying.
"Wei Huan, don't come over." A familiar voice sounded first, and Wei Huan's face finally had a different expression.
"Captain Fang?!"
As the words fell, Wei Huan slowly adjusted to the light and saw the familiar burly figure walking towards him with the backlight.
It’s Captain Fang William.
He was covered in the armor of the King of War, which not only made his already burly body even stronger, but also surrounded him with a sacred light. As long as he was in that light, his strength, agility, endurance and spiritual power would be doubled at the same time.
This is Captain Fang's unique ability as a Holy Knight, which comes from his awakened second profession, "Prayer".
The dual professions of "Farmer Sequence" and "Prayer Sequence" not only allowed him to obtain the abilities that the two professions should have, but also, after years of hard work, he had more unique changes.
He called this ability of his the [Knight's Halo].
Initially, the [Knight Halo] could only increase the attributes by less than double, but now it can be increased by more than double, and can even improve the attributes of the chariot. This is why Captain Fang is world-famous and always leads the way as the most powerful force of mankind on the battlefield.
It can amplify the capabilities of the chariot, which is very terrifying.
After Wei Huan was reborn, he met Captain Fang five or six times. The last time, he had a drink with Captain Fang in the Suzaku Reclamation Army.
However, this was the first time he saw Captain Fang's fighting posture at such a close distance.
In one word, handsome!
It's the fighting stance that all men desire.
Captain Fang, shimmering with a halo and dressed like Iron Man, called out to Wei Huan from a distance and warned him, "Don't come any closer. The light ahead is divine energy, and it will clearly restrain you."
Then, he saw Agris and reminded him, "The same goes for you."
But Agris's eyes were not on Captain Fang. At this moment, she looked over his shoulder and looked at the man who was also walking slowly behind him.
"Jacques."
Wei Huan and Fang William looked over at the same time, but when Wei Huan saw who it was, his pupils shrank slightly.
Jacques should have been very familiar with this, but this moment suddenly became very strange.
This sense of strangeness did not come from his appearance. Strictly speaking, his appearance and temperament had not changed. He was still that elegant and handsome man, but Wei Huan could feel that the aura on him was no longer the power of flesh and blood, but was filled with darkness and ominousness.
Perhaps Wei Huan's expression was too obvious, and Jacques, who came up, chuckled and said, "After Agris helped me complete the transformation, the dark hunter became a night elf. My strength will be even greater in the dark night. Also, I'm afraid I can't return your platinum magic flute. It suits me very well. I can practice both the war expert and the summoning master at the same time. In the next sequence, I may become a true war master."
The advanced levels of the hunter sequence are hunter, orc herder, demon herder, summoner, and summoning master/war expert.
At Sequence Six, one becomes the [War Bishop].
Wei Huan heard it clearly. Jacques was talking about the [War Leader]. Even though the two words were just reversed, the difference was obvious. It was inevitable that the leader was above the bishop. In other words, Jacques obtained a more secret sequence and achieved a greater improvement through "fall".
Just like Captain Fang William.
Putting aside the negative impact of this improvement, what shocked Wei Huan the most was the huge changes brought about by Jacques, which made him realize more and more clearly that the ending of mankind in the previous life was really being rewritten due to his own efforts.
Captain Fang continued, "That's why I told you not to go over there. Jacques and I went back and forth. I could have entered that ball of white light, but when Jacques tried to enter, he was affected by the white light and suffered considerable damage. He hasn't fully recovered yet."
Jacques nodded as well: "Yes, that ball of white light has a strong killing power against dark elements."
Wei Huan asked, "What's inside?"
Fang William said, "It's an incomprehensible and complex rune, but I just went in and took a closer look. It seems to require five challengers who can withstand light damage to stand in a fixed area, as if to do something."
After saying that, Fang William looked helplessly at the two dark professionals who came before him. Just when he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly fixed on those challengers who were seriously infected and had been protected all the way here by Wei Huan using the abdomen of the earth beast.
"You actually brought them here?" Fang William looked at Wei Huan with an indescribable expression. "Everyone says knights are the embodiment of kindness, but their actions prove that death is the most merciful."
After saying this, Agris and Jones nodded simultaneously.
To be honest, when Wei Huan gave up sheltering Cynthia, compared with all the people he had sheltered along the way, he really proved his kindness with his actions.
Indeed, in troubled times, kindness actually has no meaning. Moreover, from a universal perspective, everyone believes that it is a chaotic time, so of course one has to live a good life.
However, this idea is only suitable for lone wolves or for establishing a very small team.
But who were these people? Captain Fang of Daxia, Agris, the strongest man in Osham, and Jacques, who held a high reputation among the people. These people weren't just a few, or even a few thousand, but often represented the will of hundreds of millions, even the shadow of a nation.
When they believe in their hearts that Wei Huan's character is noble enough, it often means that the attitude of a country is also leaning.
This kind of prestige is beyond the imagination of a lone wolf.
If Agris and Jacques had some misunderstandings about Wei Huan before, or just regarded him as a stronger person than themselves, then when they saw with their own eyes the actions Wei Huan made even unintentionally, the lawful kindness and loyalty buried deep in his cruelty, they would inevitably be moved by this character.
This is also the reason why Agris changed from being arrogant and spoiled to a talkative little girl along the way.
When trust is born, the disguised shell will naturally be put down.
Jacques knew more about Wei Huan. After being reminded and seeing the challengers who were also seriously infected, he smiled as if to be expected, and then said, "It seems that I am not surprised."
Fang William said: "On the way here, I also saw several challengers who were seriously polluted. Unfortunately, I couldn't take them away. I only saved one person who could barely withstand the pollution on his own."
After saying this, Fang William looked at the slumped figure in the corner and said, "It's also because of being with him for a long time that I discovered that my aura seems to have a purifying effect on these pollutants. His condition has improved a lot, but due to his own illness, he may not be able to stand up yet."
After a pause, Fang William looked at Agris and said, "He is also an Unsleeping One, a fallen wizard, and a Chinese from Osham."
Wei Huan glanced over and was slightly stunned.
His eyesight was good in the dark. If he saw correctly, the man's hands and feet seemed to be broken, and his face was covered with scars. There were even corroded injuries on his face. How could he have such skin injuries that could not be healed when he already had an angel?
However, when Wei Huan thought of the injuries on his face, the angel told him that this was a manifestation of his dark energy. If he wanted to heal his face, he had to dispel the dark energy there.
Perhaps the other party's situation is the same as his own. As a fallen wizard of the three dark professions, he probably cannot be easily healed by the angel.
As for the injuries on my hands and feet...I'm afraid they can only be healed after the Angel of Life appears.
He has already obtained the core material of the Angel of Life, but it has only been half a year since the human race upgraded to the fifth-level world. If they want to upgrade to sequence six, no one will be able to obtain the material in a short period of time.
Wait a little longer, Mu Zhong’s leg should be healed within a year.
Wei Huan took a look at the man's legs that were almost cut off at the root and his right hand that was broken at the elbow, and felt a little sorry for him.
Only his left hand was movable, and three fingers were broken.
However, Wei Huan did not underestimate the other party. He was able to obtain the Colossus and had the courage to enter this world for training. Although he was only Sequence Four, he must have special means.
After taking another look, Wei Huan retracted his gaze.
He didn't notice that after he had withdrawn his gaze for a while, the person lying on the ground, seemingly resting with eyes closed, finally let out a long, trembling breath. He dug the remaining two fingers of his left hand deep into his palm, trying to regulate his rapid heartbeat and breathing, trying to pretend to be normal.
On the other hand, Wei Huan, at Captain Fang's request, placed the challengers he had rescued along the way next to Captain Fang William, and watched as they gradually recovered their twisted human shapes from a pile of mud under the continuous aura of Captain Fang William.
It's getting better.
This made Wei Huan very happy.
He does not underestimate himself, nor does he think of himself as a cold person. If he were really a selfish person, he could become stronger on his own after rebirth. The materials he has opened up are enough for him to recruit soldiers and cultivate a group of forces that only obey him, and he can become the king.
But he didn't, he only had one choice.
Therefore, as long as it does not conflict with his ultimate goal, he is willing to do things like saving people.
If we can gain the trust of people like Captain Fang William, it would be a completely unexpected surprise.
Moreover, this convenient action just happens to be a way to resolve the current dilemma.
Now no one knows how many people can make it here, and whether there is a time limit for this assessment.
But right now, five non-dark challengers are needed to enter the white light to carry out the next step.
The person he saved became an important turning point in changing the situation.
"Seeing those terrifying purple spots, I'm afraid most people's first reaction would be to run away. Once they're sure they can't escape, it's too late to come here and investigate." Jacques observed the changes in these people with a relaxed expression. "Colonel Wei's rescue of these people was a kind act, but it was also a stroke of genius. Otherwise, we would have been trapped here to death."
Agris stuck to Jacques. After there was no pollution here, Agris had dispersed the blood mist around him and returned to his blond and blue-eyed appearance.
She was very beautiful, and she looked at Jacques with fascination and said, "Will we die together? That would be a very lucky thing."
Jacques smiled, raised his hand and ruffled Agrius' hair, his smile was very gentle.
But the way the two get along doesn't seem to be ambiguous at all, it seems more like the relationship between brother and sister.
"We will get out. The essence of challenging the world is to make humanity stronger, not to destroy it. As long as we unite, we can face all difficulties."
Wei Huan was stunned when he heard this.
He suddenly understood why he had been resisting and feeling it was wrong every time he thought about killing and looting the colossus since he came here.
I see.
After Jacques's reminder, he came to his senses.
That’s right, the essence of challenging the world is to strengthen humanity, and the Colossus Assessment, as a natural and orderly energy, should not allow them to kill each other.
So far, whether it is the five non-dark energies required to enter the empty room, Captain Fang's ability to drive away the pollution, and the fact that these people he subconsciously rescued were able to change the situation, all of them revealed the word "teamwork".
So, will cooperation to complete the assessment be the real content of this assessment?
For a long time, Wei Huan just listened to the conversation between the three people in silence, waiting for the people he brought to be treated.
Finally, an hour later, someone completely recovered from a pile of mud and turned into a complete human form, with some human skin color on his body.
Fang William's expression remained relaxed. Maintaining his aura was as easy as eating and drinking for him now. He just sighed and said, "It's been so long, and still no one has come. It seems that everyone who can come has come here."
Agris said, "What about the people outside? Will they die?"
Fang William shook his head: "I don't know. We can't turn back. I tried, but I can't leave. I can only keep moving forward."
Less than half an hour later, the purple spots on someone's body faded away for the most part, and he finally began to regain consciousness and opened his eyes.
Needless to say, those who escaped from danger knew that if they wanted to leave here alive, they had to enter the room full of light with Captain Fang William. Although they didn't know what they would face next, this was a responsibility they had to face.
Finally, the third person was able to stand up.
Together with Captain Fang and Jones, they helped the three people into the room filled with light.
No one could wait any longer. No one was sure if there was a time limit for this assessment, or what the penalty would be for failure.
Wei Huan couldn't get close to that room. The holy light energy would cause great damage to him and the undead.
While waiting, Wei Huan involuntarily took a few steps forward. This time, he stood beside the man lying on the ground and involuntarily lowered his head to take a look.
This glance made Wei Huan realize that something was wrong.
The main thing is that the other person is avoiding your sight, which is not normal.
Wei Huan looked at it twice more before looking away thoughtfully.
At this moment, the dazzling light in front disappeared, and the light that still existed became normal, but no longer had any lethality.
Captain Fang William came out and said, "Come on, we've passed this level, let's move on."
Agris stepped forward quickly and asked first: "What happened?"
Fang William said, "Just as I suspected, the five of us were like the key to passing this level. My strength was drained a little, and I passed it smoothly."
"Are we really supposed to unite?" Agris wrinkled his nose and took the lead in walking into the room that had been inaccessible before.
Jacques stayed behind. There were still three people lying on the ground who had not fully recovered. They needed to continue receiving treatment from Captain Fang, and they had to take them with them.
Wei Huan summoned the undead to carry these people up, then turned to look at the man lying on the ground: "Do you need help?"
After a few seconds of silence, the other party said, "Thank you, I need it." His voice was hoarse, and it felt like sandpaper was rubbing against his throat.
Wei Huan summoned the facehugger, and the other party climbed up with great effort.
Wei Huan withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward, frowning slightly.
After confirming the abnormality, Wei Huan discovered that there was indeed something wrong with this person.
A person who dares to take the test cannot be without strength. His physical condition is more like a disguise. Otherwise, how did he move before meeting Captain Fang?
Being this weak now is really a bit too much.
However, Wei Huan didn't know how to find out the other party's secret for a moment, so he could only keep his eyes open. Some crows were summoned along with the facehugger, which would serve as his eyes, staring at all the abnormalities around him.
The man lying on the facehugger's back seemed to react, and a trace of regret appeared on his disfigured face.
He turned his head quietly, glanced at the ghost crow flying in the darkness, frowned, and quickly looked away.
Wei Huan had already walked into the room that had previously emitted the sacred white light, and found that after the white light disappeared, the material of this room was the same as the passage he had walked through, both of which were a colorful black color, a material that did not exist on Blue Star.
The light came from the runes on the wall and has now returned to normal lighting.
Then Wei Huan noticed that the room was round, with five very obvious circles on the ground, which was obviously where Captain Fang and his five companions had stood before.
There is nothing else.
Going further, there is another long passage, and I don’t know where it leads to.
Captain Fang, riding on a majestic white horse, turned to look at them and said, "Let's go. There must be more tests waiting for us ahead."
Wei Huan's gaze fell on the white horse, which was transformed from Captain Fang's ability. It was not known whether they had read the same novel, but Captain Fang transformed his divine power into a horse and became a true holy knight.
A horse that can fly into the sky and into the ground, and its speed is not inferior to Dianma's mount.
Agris knew she had to hurry, so she returned to the state of being wrapped in blood mist. In this state, her movement speed would increase, and she could even fly.
Wei Huan also sat on the back of the Earth Beast. In addition, he summoned a large number of Earth Beasts and let other challengers who did not have the ability to move quickly sit on the back shell.
Finally, only Jacques was left.
Jacques was about to get on the Earth Beast, but Agris stopped him and said, "Jacques, let me see your new Nightmare."
Jacques thought about it and nodded.
He picked up an object from his neck, put it to his mouth, and blew the whistle hard. It was the platinum magic flute that he had exchanged from Wei Huan.
As the sound of the magic flute fell, a black light gate appeared behind Jacques. The light spun, and then a ball of black mist ran out of the gate.
When the black mist condensed into shape, a black horse that was no less powerful than Captain Fang appeared beside Jacques and rubbed his face against him affectionately.
Wei Huan noticed that there were faint orange flames on the black horse's four hooves, and the same flames were flickering in its eyes, and it also had a pair of pitch-black horns on its head.
"nightmare……"
Wei Huan murmured these two words, guessing that if Xu Qingqiang knew that he could use the Platinum Magic Flute to summon such a handsome mount, he would be jealous to death.
Jacques turned over and sat on the nightmare, looking at Wei Huan and asked him curiously: "Are you laughing?"
Wei Huan came back to his senses and smiled faintly: "Yes, this magic flute originally belonged to my friend. He said it was his buffet."
Jacques raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and said, "Major Xu?"
Wei Huan nodded.
Jacques said apologetically, "Next time I see Major Xu, I will apologize to him in person and compensate him for his losses. The Platinum Magic Flute is very suitable for Dark Elves. It was through it that I mastered the summoning ability."
Wei Huan nodded. This was indeed a matter between the two of them and there was no need for him to interfere.
Of course, Nightmare being such a handsome summon is indeed a bit unexpectedly handsome.
"Okay, let's go." Captain Fang reminded in front, then he patted his white horse and said, "But I still like white."
Agris laughed and said, "You just can't summon black. I hate holy powers. Your horse is too shiny and too dazzling."
"Hahaha!" Captain Fang shouted cheerfully. He shook the reins and the white horse galloped away like a flash of lightning.
Wei Huan looked at Captain Fang who was leaving, then at Agris who turned into a blood mist, and Jacques who was surrounded by black light, and suddenly felt excited.
He finally made it here! Standing with the heroic leaders of the previous life!
