Chapter 258 The Road of Blood
Wei Huan quickly turned his sights to the Demon Eye Lord in that direction, while Mu Zhong also controlled the nearest camera to fly over.
However, he saw that the Violent Bear Tribe, which was not small in number, numbering more than a hundred, was easily torn to pieces by Wei Huan's Undead Army in the first encounter. In a few breaths, no one was left alive, and it was impossible to tell who was the Dark Beast Lord.
This is not a challenge world. The corpses will not disappear, and the bloody scene will continue until they rot or are devoured by other dark beasts.
Mu Zhong frowned at the scene before him. "It seems they are just ordinary Dark Beast Lords. I wonder if these Dark Beast Lords have a system to contact other Dark Beast Lords."
Wei Huan said, "The most common network among the Dark Beastmen is the Thought Beast, and it's a one-way communication. I believe there are technological products in the royal city, but in this wilderness..."
"Wei Huan, I think we should speed up. I'm worried about Orange Juice and the others. Besides, there's no point in wasting time on these ordinary dark beasts."
Wei Huan nodded: "I think so too. I'm basically familiar with this world now, so it's time to speed up."
…
This may be a bloody road.
If the blood wasn't black and didn't have a strong, fishy, and nauseating smell, perhaps it would have been a different feeling.
For example, if there is too much bright red blood, it will make people feel cruel.
But not now.
Because what was falling from the sky was all black blood, countless dark beasts were crushed into minced meat by the light ball like a meat grinder, and fell down wrapped in blood and bones.
The fall of these powerful high-star lives was like a whale fall, nourishing the low-level races on the earth. They bit their bodies, feeling the vigorous energy in the blood and flesh of the high-star dark beasts, and emitted bursts of contented snoring.
Wei Huan did not stop all the way.
He divided the 700 two-headed hidden demons into two groups, like saw teeth, fighting around their team. Their identities as high-star nobles and level five undead allowed these two-headed hidden demons to fight their own kind like fish in water, and so far they had not encountered any dark beast that could stop their second attack.
Not to mention the Ghost Crows and Demon Eye Lords interspersed among them, the Facehuggers crawling densely on the ground, and the Wolf Battalions divided into several strategic groups, they are simply unstoppable and unmatched!
It was already late at night.
From the rare encounters of dark beast attacks in the beginning to now when it seems as if the dark beasts have come out in droves, the battles in the sky and on the ground are more than just a thrill of killing!
Xu Qingqiang, Hammer Brother and others who had fallen to the ground fighting had a thick layer of black blood plasma on their bodies, with rotten flesh hanging on their armor. The corpses that would not disappear piled up higher and higher. They were like a group of hungry wolves rushing into a flock of sheep.
But even though they kill dark beasts as easily as killing chickens, they will never show any mercy. The more they kill, the more excited they will become, and the more they can vent the pent-up anger in their hearts.
Of course, as the absolute main force on Wei Huan's chariot, they had long passed the time of killing dark beasts to vent their anger. At this moment, they were fighting for honor, fighting for protection, and fighting for the old people, children, men and women of Blue Star.
If one more dark beast dies, Blue Star will be a little safer. As long as they kill enough, they can continue to protect Blue Star in this way.
Finally, in this crazy killing, about an hour before dawn, the number of dark beasts rushing over gradually decreased.
Perhaps they were afraid of being killed, or perhaps the dark beasts nearby had been killed.
In short, as the sky gradually brightened, there was no trace of the dark beast around them.
The soldiers who had fought all night took the boiled hot water from Mu Zhong, poured it over their bodies from head to toe, and washed the blood off their bodies. At the same time, they were quickly organized into groups and divided into combat and duty shifts.
The soldiers on duty stood at the edge like steel giants, in groups of ten, for two hours, keeping their eyes and ears open and their minds focused at all times.
Those who were not on duty would simply eat some food after washing themselves, then find a place to lie down on the back of the ground beast, embrace their weapons, close their eyes and fall asleep.
Everything was so well-organized that Xiong Yi and Wu Ning seemed to be lost in thought.
It's not that the discipline of this team is surprisingly good. As the main force of Daxia, the soldiers and generals under their command are also at this level. What really makes people feel different is this calmness and normality, and the manifestation of this behavior is usually influenced by vision and pattern.
Being able to step onto this person's chariot, you are indeed walking in the front. Only those who have seen the most scenery can have such a silent and deafening feeling.
The other is the deputy conductor, Mu Zhong, who has not rested yet and is still busy.
As Wei Huan's partner and the son of Commander Mu Dehao, the people around Deputy Captain Mu are too dazzling, always making people feel that he is just an accessory.
But now that he had seen it with his own eyes, and had been getting along with her like this, he realized that Wei Huan didn't care about anything at all. He had left everything to Mu Zhong, so he could charge forward without any scruples.
Operating the most powerful chariot of mankind is not as easy as one might think. Xu Qingqiang is unruly, Captain Xue is reckless and aggressive, and Brother Thor is taciturn. Their personalities are too extreme and it is difficult to get along with them, let alone integrate them into such a group.
I heard that Captain Xue was very strong when he first entered the Challenge World, showing his brilliance and causing a stir in a small area.
But after his shortcomings of being greedy for merit and acting rashly were exposed, no one asked for help from him anymore.
Even a "super logistics" like Mu Dehao couldn't do anything to him for the time being and could only temporarily place him in the third-level world to cultivate his character.
Such a person became the main tank on Wei Huan's chariot. The most dazzling existence was that his reckless behavior became a skill here. He was also respectful to Wei Huan and Mu Zhong, even though he was much older than them.
In addition, let’s talk about the sudden experience of the “Warrior Assessment”. When everyone was confused and thought they had to move forward tentatively, Mu Zhong thought and acted ahead of everything.
It is a bowl of rice before the war, a glass of water after the war, the hot bath water pouring over the head, and a lamp in the darkness, all of which are Mu Zhong's meticulous considerations.
It has to be said that a good father will have a good son.
As for the big boss Wei Huan.
Yes, that's right. There is no need to say much about such a big boss. He is the confidence of everyone here. He is the big umbrella that supports them to fight freely and allows them to sleep peacefully.
Even in a foreign land, even surrounded by wolves.
After the daybreak, Wei Huan's brave team was advancing rapidly again. Without the obstruction of the dark beasts, they were much faster.
Mu Zhong didn't know what he had learned from Iron Heart. After going down twice, he got a big piece of iron.
He called Captain Xue and asked him to use brute force to bend the large iron sheet, and then buckle it onto the back shell of the ground beast. A windshield that blocks light and wind is ready. In this way, the crew members who are resting can sleep more soundly.
After finishing the work at hand and completing the handover with Jacques, Mu Zhong went into the private hood where Wei Huan was sleeping and woke him up.
Wei Huan only slept for two hours, which was definitely not enough. However, the situation was special now. He was responsible for the most remote vigilance and had to participate in the main battle. He could leave others here, but he could not leave him.
Wei Huan woke up and sat up, looking at the ingenious wind shield above his head. Just as he was about to praise Mu Zhong, he saw the other party kiss him on the forehead with a smile and said, "Good afternoon."
Wei Huan woke up immediately, then looked at Mu Zhong and said with a smile, "Good afternoon."
Wei Huan stayed in the wind shield with Mu Zhong for quite a while, naturally to hand over the work. Then when Wei Huan came out again, he was already in high spirits. He looked into the distance with a focused gaze, feeling carefully, and his brows furrowed again.
Why is it still so far away?
Was the sucked-in Moji with them? What could be there? And what was the area I was teleported to?
They moved very quickly during the day, and the dark beasts they encountered were all low-level ordinary dark beasts, so they killed the undead on the outermost edge.
Wei Huan ordered the earth beasts to increase their speed. Both Dianma and Gouzi could fly at a speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour. So in order to maintain this speed, the undead army exploring on the ground was simply withdrawn, and the ghost crows and two-headed hidden demons were sent out to guard.
The two-headed hidden demon has an explosive speed of over 1,500 kilometers, but its endurance is very average and cannot keep up with the speed of its mother, so it will spend most of its time hanging on the two ground beasts.
The speed of the ghost crow was really fast. It appeared and disappeared in a flash, just like teleportation. It was easy to follow. Sister Crow still had time to come back and report some information.
After all, at such a speed, neither the Demon Eye Lord descending from Wei Huan's field of vision nor the flying camera made by Mu Zhong could keep up.
But maintaining this pace of progress also has significant benefits.
The first is that ordinary undead simply cannot keep up with their speed. Although they killed fewer dark beasts, saving people is more important now, so they avoid wasting time fighting.
Another thing is that Wei Huan clearly felt in the afternoon that he was closer to Mo Ji and could vaguely feel that it was releasing some kind of happy emotion.
Happy emotions?
Wei Huan was puzzled when he came to this conclusion.
Why does it feel this way? Is it because it's no longer in control, and therefore free and happy? Or does it think it's out of control?
Wei Huan's eyes turned cold.
He is not a person with a strong desire for dominance, but it would be a terrible thing if the undead recruited by his ability were not under his control.
Just like an arrow that has been shot out and is flying back towards you, this kind of hostile behavior must be resolutely stopped!
After a whole day's journey, we still didn't reach the end of the continent. It was obvious that this was a continent that was many times larger than Blue Star.
However, the environment on the ground began to change at some point, and the color of the leaves became noticeably darker. This reminded Wei Huan of when they were experiencing the Colossus Assessment. It seemed that the trees were also infected, and the leaves turned an ominous black and red. However, the speed was much faster than this, and the color was also darker and redder.
Wei Huan observed the leaves in his hand. They were just black, not red, and did not seem to be infected by invading energy. Rich dark energy permeated the stems of the leaves, and Wei Huan could absorb the power from them, which made him feel comfortable.
"So, where darkness is thick, the power of the dark beast must be very strong. We are approaching the core of the dark beast."
Mu Zhong made this analysis and looked at the thick black fog spreading from the other side of the mountain as three red stars set below the horizon in the distance.
It's night again, the dark beast is about to wake up, and there will be a fierce battle ahead.
"Let them conserve their strength and don't send them all out tonight. If we move forward, there will probably be high-intensity battles not only at night but also during the day. It is important to maintain physical strength." Wei Huan said.
Mu Zhong nodded: "Okay, I have already informed the team leaders." Then, Mu Zhong ended the external communication and said to Wei Huan face to face: "You need to arrange your own rest time."
"Okay." Wei Huan nodded, not trying to be brave. 24 days can be short or long, but he knew that if he didn't sleep for 24 days, he would collapse.
As the black fog spread, the howling of dark beasts had already filled the fog. Just as the vision became dark, a ferocious creature rushed straight towards Wei Huan from the front like a flying arrow.
The sudden attack startled Mu Zhong.
The most important thing is that Wei Huan’s undead have been patrolling outside, so how could the attack be so close that they can see it with their own eyes.
Unfortunately, this sneak attack did not work.
Before it could get within a thousand meters of Wei Huan, a group of two-headed hidden demons suddenly rushed out from all directions and pounced on the guy like a ball.
Wei Huan had sharp eyes and was more accustomed to the darkness of the Dark Beast Plane, so he clearly saw that it was actually a two-headed hidden demon.
The Seven-Star Two-Headed Hidden Demon must be a Dark Beast Lord, and a high-level Dark Beast Lord at that.
It must have used its mimicry ability. It followed Wei Huan at some point and chose to attack the moment darkness fell.
But it was useless, there was only one of them, but they were facing 300 of them.
The two-headed undead hidden demons, which also possessed mimicry abilities, were all hanging on the bodies of the giant earth beasts. When attacked, they were like powerful spaceships, attacking the enemy with thunderous power.
The Dark Beast Lord was still in mid-air when the well-rested Undead Two-Headed Hidden Demon tore off its limbs, broke off its head, and emptied its internal organs. When it fell to the ground, it was in pieces, without even having time to let out a scream.
“It’s so tragic.”
Mu Zhong observed a second of silence for the two-headed hidden demon, and then laughed with gloating joy.
No one knew how long this Dark Beast Lord had been stalking them before he was able to sneak up on them without them noticing and launch such a close-range attack.
Unfortunately, he still underestimated their strength and thought that he could kill them with just one dark beast.
By the way, is there anyone in the Dark Beast Clan who doesn’t know who Wei Huan is?
Isn't it that the Dark Beast Clan has the ability to awaken their bloodline and deliberately engrave the enemy's intelligence deep in their bloodline? As long as the weaknesses and strengths are discovered, even the lowest-level ghost crow will know how to fight Wei Huan.
However, judging by the brutality of the battle that day, it seems that the Dark Beast King's deep hatred for Wei Huan is also rooted in the Dark Beast clan.
This kind of encirclement and killing clearly regards Wei Huan as a mortal enemy and a world-destroying devil, and they must stop him even if they have to sacrifice everything.
Mu Zhong said, "It's getting dark, so slow down."
Wei Huan nodded without trying to be stubborn.
If the Dark Beast Clan had a network covering the entire world like humans, the Dark Beast Royal Family would definitely know about their arrival.
Even if not, with the intensity of the war last night, today will only be even crazier.
But there is nothing to be afraid of.
They have arrived in the heart of the enemy, at the place that the enemy fears the most and where a stab would hurt the most.
No matter what they do, it will keep the Dark Beast Clan awake at night and severely damage their foundation.
"Hopefully there will be more Dark Beast Lords tonight."
Killing ordinary dark beasts has limited effect. Only by killing the dark beast lord can the dark beast clan be harmed. After the lord is the royal family. I hope the dark beast clan can give some help and send some powerful ones.
As for Wei Huan, he didn't even have a chariot, so how could he dare to be so arrogant when he came to the territory of the Dark Beast.
Of course, it’s because in the Dark Beast plane, Dark Beasts don’t have territories either.
The Dark Beast Lord without a territory has no protection from the city walls and no high-level heroes to help him in battle. Everyone has to "take off their clothes and fight hand-to-hand. Who is afraid of whom?
Only the Dharma image of the Dark Beast King would make Wei Huan alert, but after Dianma advanced to become a legendary hero, this deterrent effect was very limited.
"It doesn't matter if more come." Wei Huan said to Mu Zhong in the middle of the battle, "Did I forget to tell you that my tomb is full of the skeletons and corpses of dark beasts. The more of them die, the stronger I will be.
This is my arsenal.”
Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan and smiled.
After a night of killing, even though the intensity of the battle had increased, everyone's condition was actually better than the first day. With experience, they could take turns to rest. When the battle ended and they had breakfast, they chatted and laughed for a while before going to bed.
The daytime is the time to travel, this is already their third day in the Dark Beast Plane.
After being woken up after a light sleep of two hours, Wei Huan came out to find that they had walked quite a distance. In addition to being closer to Mo Ji, some large tribes of dark beasts began to appear on the ground.
These large tribes were disturbed by their speeding past and rushed out of their nests to try to attack them, but except for a few Dark Beast Lords who were able to catch up, most of the ordinary Dark Beasts did not even have time to react before they were already far away.
Wei Huan looked at the Dark Beast Lords of the Demon Eye Monarch Tribe who were quickly being distanced from him, and he could clearly determine that there were more and more Dark Beast Lords here.
From not seeing a single Dark Beast Lord in the beginning to frequently encountering large tribes now, with four or five Dark Beast Lords often flying out of the tribe, it proved that they were indeed approaching the core of the Dark Beast clan.
If it were any other time, this would definitely be considered a good thing, as they would be willing to kill more valuable dark beasts.
But Mo Ji was always in front, which meant that Liu Chengzhi, Dou Lin, Captain Fang and others were probably deep in the heartland of the Dark Beast Clan.
Why is there such a big difference when we come from the same place?
"Also, through intelligence gathering and diviner predictions, Iron Heart has initially cracked the Dark Beast Clan's signals and found some clues."
Mu Zhong said with a strange expression, "But due to the influence of the world consciousness, it can only convey information to us in another way."
Wei Huan looked at him in confusion.
Mu Zhong glanced at the data glasses on Wei Huan's ear and said, "Forget it, I'll share it with Xiao Fei, you can take a look."
"Xiao Fei?"
"Your personal system has been serving as a companion since the first day you arrived here, right?"
"Heh." Wei Huan also glanced at the little piece of trash hanging next to his ear.
AI Butler·Little Waste: "..."
As Mu Zhong made his choice, the information from the Iron Heart came to Wei Huan's eyes, which turned out to be several tasks.
[Main Mission: Rescue 0/272 companions]
[Completion Reward: Return Channel]
[Failure Reward: None]
[Side Quest 1: Kill the Dark Beast King 0/1]
Completion Reward: None
[Failure Reward: None]
[Side Quest 2: Kill the Dark Beast King 0/293]
…
[Side Quest 3: Kill the Dark Beast Lord 1201/1000000]
…
[Side Quest 4: Kill Dark Beast 321000/100000000]
…
[Side Mission 5: Intelligence from the East 0/1]
…
This task was issued... Wei Huan pondered after reading it. No wonder Mu Zhong had a strange expression on his face.
Rather than saying that this is a task release, it is better to say that it is a data statistics, and it helps them to clarify their goals and directions. There is no reward. It can only be said that when there are no more clues, this is the only solution.
"What do you think?" Mu Zhong observed Wei Huan's expression. "At least we know to search eastward. This is consistent with your perception of Mo Ji."
Wei Huan said, "Didn't it collect my information and determine this mission?"
Mu Zhong tilted his head and laughed. "That seems to be the case, but this is exactly how the system works: collecting information, summarizing information, and confirming information. We are actually still in the information collection stage."
Wei Huan smiled: "Then let it collect more detailed information, predict how long it will take us to rescue people, encounter the Dark Beast King, and assess their combat effectiveness, so as to determine our chances of winning and the probability of a successful evacuation."
"Okay, I'll keep a close eye on it."
As he was speaking, the virtual projection screen in front of Wei Huan began to flash red, and at the same time, a message appeared in the lower left corner of the screen: "A Xiuroma tribe has been discovered. There are 123 ordinary Xiuromas, and 1, 2, and 3 Lord Xiuromas..."
Wei Huan looked at the task reminder that popped up, and in the process he kept correcting the data and trying to announce the task information. Wei Huan could only sigh in his heart that everyone had tried their best.
It is not easy to collect intelligence and information in an unfamiliar plane full of enemies without any clue.
No one is perfect, and the system...cannot be flawless either.
Wei Huan was busy saving people and ignored the Shuroma tribe who had suddenly risen up because they were disturbed.
They threw the javelins in their hands, but their flying speed and height were not enough to hit Wei Huan and the others. Only the dark beast lords of Xiu Rome threw the objects in their hands higher, but they were powerless under their speed.
During the day, Wei Huan fought as little as possible, after all, saving lives was the most important thing.
It wasn't that he wanted to slow down at night, but there were too many dark beasts at night, so he couldn't go any faster even if he wanted to.
In this way, as they passed along, occasionally some dark beasts of the flying race would block their way. Every time they killed a dark beast, Wei Huan would observe the changes in the numbers on the virtual screen.
This is quite good. If it weren't for the system statistics, he wouldn't have known that he had just "accidentally" killed two dark beast lords.
