Chapter 260 Mo Ji usurps the throne
The undead army spread out, chasing the dark beasts all the way.
Without the orders from the Dark Beast King, the Dark Beasts would follow their instincts to avoid danger and flee in all directions.
Wei Huan did not let go of any creature he could see and hunted them all down.
He brought the crew down from the back of the underground beast and came in front of Captain Fang.
Captain Fang, 133 crew members, and Dou Lin were right in front of them.
In order to support Captain Fang's protective shield, each of them tried their best and exhausted themselves. After being rescued, they all fell to the ground.
Only Dou Lin was in a slightly better condition. He knew someone was coming to save him, but he couldn't see the person right in front of him. He just raised his hand and touched around vaguely, like a blind man, with anxiety and vigilance on his face.
Wei Huan noticed the poker cards flying beside him. Although he was holding back, he was always ready to strike.
"Who is it? Brother Liu? Is Brother Liu back? Where's Mo Ji? Why can't I see Mo Ji?"
After saying the last sentence, he seemed to remember something, and his whole body tensed up. A deck of cards "swish" behind him, spreading out like a peacock's tail, and his gray eyes were full of seriousness.
"It's me, Wei Huan." Wei Huan didn't want to scare the child, so he spoke hurriedly, although he was more concerned about the fact that Liu Chengzhi and Dou Lin were not here, and that Dou Lin's eyes were covered by black fog.
We can't see it even at such a close distance. It seems that the vision is blocked by the black fog. So any "smuggling" humans cannot see the real dark beast world because of this reason?
Wei Huan spoke, but Dou Lin did not respond. He just looked around vigilantly, his eyes not focused on Wei Huan.
Looking at his ears, they were also surrounded by black fog, which even blocked his hearing.
This is the world consciousness's punishment for stowaways.
Wei Huan wanted to say something, but he saw Mu Zhong was going to find Captain Fang.
Captain Fang's seemingly calm face was actually filled with murderous intent. If the situation wasn't handled properly, he would definitely take action.
Wei Huan didn't care about anything else, he grabbed Mu Zhong and said, "Leave Dou Lin to you, the kid is a little stressed."
After saying this, Wei Huan walked towards Captain Fang.
Captain Fang and his crew were actually very calm. They had survived the siege without food or water, and their energy was exhausted. However, the moment they noticed something unusual, they chose to wait and make judgments instead of letting themselves get caught up in a frenzy of killing.
Of course, due to the lack of vision and hearing, it is not easy to gain their trust.
Wei Huan did not rush in, nor did he let others get close. Even though Captain Xue, who volunteered, was really capable, he still did not want to take the risk.
So he chose a method that only he could do and informed Captain Fang of his arrival.
At his command, the facehuggers came to the crowd like a group of dogs wagging their tails and sticking out their tongues, without a trace of murderous intent.
They use their bodies or long legs to touch the calves and feet of the challengers, while some just walk in circles, just to announce their presence and make non-threatening moves.
Some team members were very aggressive and killed the facehugger with a backhand, smashing its bones into pieces and making him extremely nervous.
But there were also those who noticed the abnormality at the first moment and calmly felt the message conveyed by Wei Huan.
Captain Fang was sitting in the middle of the crowd. There were two facehuggers beside him. Under Wei Huan's command, they did not get closer, but approached little by little in a vortex manner.
Captain Fang felt the wind at his hand, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke loudly: "Don't be nervous, it's the ghost of the guard captain."
After a pause, his voice brightened: "It's the skeleton of the facehugger. We are saved!"
Dou Lin, who was like a hedgehog, was stunned when he heard this, and raised his hand to touch the big hand that was on his head.
He felt warm blood on his palm, from the scratch he had made with his poker, he felt it.
I didn't know whose hand it was, but I just held it tightly. Then her little face frowned, her mouth turned upside down, and tears fell down.
Mu Zhong hugged the child distressedly and whispered softly in his ear: "It's safe, you are safe."
"Brother Mu Zhong... wuwuwu..." Dou Lin recognized the man and hugged Mu Zhong's neck tightly with his backhand.
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong's bleeding hand, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He squatted in front of Captain Fang and pulled up his wrist.
Captain Fang grabbed Wei Huan's wrist with his backhand and squeezed it twice. As if he was finally sure of it, his body visibly relaxed.
Then, nervously increasing the strength of his handshake, he said, "Wei Huan, we'll talk about the rest later. Liu Chengzhi has been gone for a long time, taking Mo Ji and 50 of our team members with him to find food for us. I'm worried something's happened to him. You leave a small group of people who can see behind, and take the rest with you to find him."
Wei Huan knew that Captain Fang couldn't hear him, but that wasn't a problem. He waited for about ten seconds before the "Heart of Steel" connected to Captain Fang's personal system.
The portable system appears to transmit information to the user through the eyes and ears, but in fact it acts directly on the nerves.
Iron Heart acted as the hub to restart the portable system, allowing Captain Fang and others to have basic vision through electronic means.
Captain Fang's eyes lit up when he saw Wei Huan standing in front of him.
Wei Huan said, "We humans have won the opening battle, and we have 100 people qualified to enter the Dark Beast Plane to challenge the heroes. Don't worry, our perception is normal here. You rest here, I will take people to rescue them immediately."
Captain Fang nodded, thought about it, smiled bitterly and said, "Give me a sip of water first. I'm dying of thirst."
Captain Fang and his men were accidentally drawn into the Dark Beast plane, and it was very difficult for them to survive when they completely lost their vision and hearing. Facing the siege of the Dark Beasts and being isolated and helpless, eating and drinking had to be put aside.
Three full days, three days of despair, they finally held on. After learning that they were really saved, many of them immediately fell to the ground, not wanting to even move a finger.
Dou Lin hung on Mu Zhong like a little koala, not wanting to come down for a long time. He was too scared.
Wei Huan was left here by Mu Zhong, and half of the troops, including Captain Xue and Xu Qingqiang from the main team, were left here to prevent the dark beasts from returning. The people left behind could at least hold on until he could get back.
Moreover, if Mu Zhong stayed, it would be more useful than if he followed him, and the place he went might not be safe.
It could be said that it was a blessing in disguise that Mo Ji followed them in.
As the controller of Moji, Wei Huan only has a vague understanding of this special life form.
It always seems special.
Not only does it have its own emotions, a rebellious nature, endless curiosity and abundant energy like a child, it also has a magnetic field that can destroy falsehood and stabilize reality.
It is this special ability that makes Mo Ji the only "light" in front of this group of people who are shielded by the will of the world after he follows Liu Chengzhi and others into the world of dark beasts.
When Mo Ji was there, all the black fog within a hundred meters around it was expelled, allowing Captain Fang and his men to see the situation outside the black fog and realize that they were trapped deep in the dark beast tribe.
At first, they were just carefully clearing out a Roman-style tribe. Everything was done secretly and silently, and they planned to take it step by step.
Unfortunately, although there is no "Internet" or other means of transmitting information between dark beasts, the thought-provoking beasts that can live in the territory of the dark beast royal family have the task of collecting intelligence on a regular basis.
The large number of deaths of Shuroma in the territory soon alarmed the Dark Beast Clan. They initially sent some powerful Dark Beasts over, and then the Dark Beast King himself went out.
Over the past few days, they have been pushed step by step to the edge of the cliff. In addition to the danger of death in battle, the shortage of food and water, and physical weakness have also accelerated their decline.
As a last resort, after finally clearing out a wave of monsters, Liu Chengzhi, whose eyes were green with hunger, volunteered to hunt the running wolves or the violent bears to collect water and supplies for everyone.
When they left, Mo Ji also went with them, because "collection" requires eyes, but "defense" is okay, Captain Fang's strength is enough to hold on until they return.
"But Liu Chengzhi has been gone for too long." Captain Fang's voice came from the headphones. After drinking some water and eating some food, Captain Fang's voice regained some strength.
He said: "There were 50 crew members who went there with me, almost all of them were the main combat force of my vehicle, but they have not returned until now. I am very worried that something happened to them."
Mu Zhong's voice was also in the headset: "Others don't know, but Mo Ji is still alive and well. I think Orange Juice and the others should be fine too."
Captain Fang continued, "It's a pity that the location we teleported to is within the Dark Beast King's territory, close to the core. It's basically too small for low-level Dark Beasts like the Running Wolf to live. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to go out and search for food. Even eating it raw would be enough for an emergency."
Mu Zhong said, "The Dark Beasts are clearly divided into different classes. The closer one is to the Dark Beast Tribe where the Dark Beast King resides, the higher their star level. If they want to find Benlang, they will probably have to reach the edge of this royal clan, or they may have accidentally entered the territory of another Dark Beast King."
"I hope it's the former." Captain Fang said, then asked, "What's the situation with Moji now? Can we communicate?"
"Okay." Wei Huan, who had already separated from everyone and was sitting on Dianma's back, rushing towards Mo Ji, said these two words lightly, and the channel was silent for more than ten seconds.
After a while, Mu Zhong asked, "How was the communication?"
Wei Huan was silent for a few seconds, then hesitantly said, "It said it conquered a tribe, and the ordinary Dark Beasts in the tribe regarded it as their leader. It wants to lead its army to challenge the Dark Beast King and become the new king?"
When he finished speaking, Wei Huan's voice was full of doubt and confusion. It could be said that he deeply doubted what he understood.
Mu Zhong was a little surprised: "Can the Dark Beast King be replaced? What about the Dark Beast King?"
Captain Fang said, "The Dark Beast Royal Family is passed down through blood, and only the Royal Family has the ability to empower each Dark Beast with combat enhancements and to gather their power into a Dharmakāya. Will Mo Ji's actions be recognized by this world?"
Mu Zhong said, "The fall of a powerful dynasty requires a revolution. Whether Mo Ji succeeds or not, this is an attempt, a spark that could set the whole prairie on fire. We should support any seemingly unexpected change."
"..." Captain Fang was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes, we should support it."
Wei Huan was surprised by the attitude of these two people, and then reflected on why he was making a fuss.
Perhaps because it was too bizarre, when Moji conveyed this message to me, my first reaction was that it was a "joke", not that this thing was really happening.
Was it because Moji was his control? He couldn't believe his control wasn't 100%? Or was it because his foresight had vanished after his rebirth, affecting his speed in accepting new things?
Wei Huan listened to the two of them in silence. At the same time, he felt that he was very close to Mo Ji.
Along the way, we didn't meet any dark beast lords. There were only ordinary dark beasts living in dark beast tribes of different forms.
The Xiu Rome lived on the ground, preferably on a flat ground where it was easy to run.
The Eye Lords like to live in dark underground caves, but they fly out at night.
Flying monkeys live on treetops, dog-headed men gather in earth pits, ghost crows live in small groups scattered everywhere, and the running wolves and violent bears mostly live on the ground, in caves, and in forests. Only the two-headed hidden demons live on the mountain walls, at higher places, like the lord of the territory, looking down from above.
They killed every Dark Beast King, and countless Thought Beasts died. In a battle of a hundred against a hundred thousand, they left nothing but a pile of corpses, not even a single point. They didn't even see the Dark Beast King's lair before slaughtering it and its people.
Now, these ordinary dark beasts that stayed in the tribe and had no leader were coming out of their territories and gathering in the same direction, as if they had received some kind of call.
Wei Huan had tried it before and found that these dark beasts had no intention of attacking him, they just went in one direction.
That direction was exactly where Mo Ji was.
Wei Huan transmitted this image to others simultaneously.
Mu Zhong was amazed. "I didn't expect Moji to have this ability. What's the principle? Why can it control ordinary Dark Beasts? And why does the Dark Beast King Family control the Dark Beast Clan?"
Captain Fang said: "This trip has not been in vain. We are now getting to the core secrets of the Dark Beast Clan."
It’s terrifying when you think about it.
If the secret of the Dark Beast King Family is revealed and other lives can also dominate the Dark Beast Lord, then what exactly is this race?
If the queen bee of a bee colony is killed, the colony will mutate and produce a new queen to manage the colony. Is that what you mean?
The dark beast kings in this territory were killed by Wei Huan, and now they have no leader, they will naturally submit to the strongest person nearby.
Strictly speaking, although Moji is an undead, it is also a "new life" with the bloodline of dark beasts, and its existence is recognized by dark beasts.
So does this mean that if I can seize the territories of the Dark Beast Kings that I have killed in time, it is possible to take them all?
Or, just as Mu Zhong expected, he would kill his way to the Dark Beast King and replace him?
Wei Huan became more and more excited the more he thought about it, but he also knew that there were still too many unknowns about the dark beasts that had not been explored.
This race is completely different from human civilization, and its way of existence cannot be understood by human thinking.
There must be more critical and core secrets that have not yet been discovered.
When Wei Huan thought of this, he happened to see Mo Ji standing on the cliff with his chest out and head held high, looking majestic.
Moji could also sense his arrival, and they had communicated before. But even so, when he saw his ruler actually appear before him, there was still obvious fear in Moji's eyes.
Even though it was standing very high, with tens of thousands of dark beasts gathered under its feet because of it, when it saw Wei Huan, its legs went weak and it lay down on the ground. Then it exposed its belly, looking weak.
But Wei Huan didn't pay much attention to him. His attention was on Liu Chengzhi, who was in a miserable state, and more than a dozen challengers who were injured.
Wei Huan remembered clearly that Captain Fang said that he had sent 50 people out with Liu Chengzhi to look for food.
But there are only 17 people still alive.
Behind them, two soldiers were lying on the ground, seriously injured and unable to stand up.
That's all.
"Boss, boss!" After Wei Huan finally flew within a hundred meters of Mo Ji, Liu Chengzhi finally saw Wei Huan with the help of Mo Ji.
He was 190cm tall and weighed 280kg. He rushed over with fat on his belly, howling and shouting, then slid to his knees. Before Wei Huan could get off the back of the earth beast, he was grabbed by the legs.
Wei Huan withdrew his gaze from the wounded and looked at the "fat boy" helplessly.
Among all the people, he is the best. Although he is also covered in dust, there are no obvious scars on his body. He is well protected.
But so many soldiers sacrificed their lives.
"Captain Fang," the team leader who had come out to collect food with us said, not caring about anything else. "I'm sorry I can't go into more detail. We have two wounded soldiers whose injuries are very serious. Perhaps in the next second... Captain Fang is also a praying man. He can save them. Please..."
The team leader looked at Wei Huan expectantly, then at the ground beast under his feet.
It's too far to rush back from here. Even if Mo Ji can control Xuroma to send them, it will take a long time. Flying back is the best option.
Wei Huan wanted to leave the back of the earth monster, but the "frightened" Liu Chengzhihai was immersed in the excitement of surviving and burst into tears. Wei Huan had no choice but to order Dianma to move over and wait for everyone to carefully lift the wounded up before taking off.
The goal of returning was clear, which was to save people and put out the fire. Dian Ma went at full speed and returned to Captain Fang in less than three minutes.
When Captain Fang saw that 19 of the 50 people who had left had returned, and two were seriously injured and dying, the sadness in their eyes suddenly hit his face, and he looked ten years older in an instant.
But he said nothing. He just silently supported his weak body, walked to the wounded man, sat down cross-legged, and held the hand stained with blood and covered with wounds, giving all his energy to the other party.
Mu Zhong went to treat another relatively less seriously injured soldier.
He is a shaman and has some healing abilities. Although they are far inferior to those of a prayer master, he can still help heal some minor injuries and alleviate the pain of the wounded.
At the same time, Mu Zhong quickly asked about the situation over there, wondering, "Mo Ji didn't come back?"
Wei Huan said, "I want to see how far he can go."
"Orange Juice doesn't look hurt."
"He will remain invisible and not participate in the battle."
"Moji said he could be king, what's going on?"
"Before they killed the Dark Beast King, they were still under attack from Dark Beasts. Luckily, the powerful Dark Beast Lords were all here, and only a few were chasing them. Unfortunately, they were severely reduced in numbers, and were forced to the edge of a cliff. At the last moment, the Dark Beast King died, and the Dark Beasts that had attacked them just before surrendered to Mo Ji."
"That means if we arrive a little later, Orange Juice and the others might..."
"Yes."
Mu Zhong looked at the wounded man in front of him, eyes filled with heartache, and sighed deeply. Although he was a stranger, he felt really bad for him. They were all heroes. Humanity had won, but that scene of universal celebration would never be seen again.
Wei Huan said at this time: "I'll go check on Moji's situation."
Mu Zhong turned around in confusion: "Are you alone?"
"Well, the portal can't take anyone else."
Wei Huan said this, and then activated one of the three magic skills equipped on his clothes.
【Magic Gate】 is a magic gate that can allow Wei Huan to reach a certain location. As long as he leaves the coordinates, he can travel back and forth freely. The distance limit of this gate has not been tested yet. Perhaps only the world plane can block its transmission.
The only regret about this magical ability is that it can only be used by Wei Huan alone, otherwise he would have sent the person back directly through the magic door.
Now, Wei Huan has left coordinates with Mo Ji. In addition, Mo Ji is watching the situation over there, so it is safe for him to teleport over and he can also understand the rules of the dark beast's dominance.
In addition, the other door of the portal is left here, so he can come back anytime if anything happens.
Mu Zhong wanted to ask Wei Huan to bring someone with him, but then he thought better of it, as it would be more convenient for Wei Huan to go alone.
But he still reminded her worriedly: "Be careful, and discuss anything with me immediately."
Wei Huan nodded and stepped into the portal that was already in front of him.
He was like entering water, the ripples on the door spread outward, and he disappeared in front of the door.
"Wei Huan?"
Wei Huan had just emerged from the portal when he heard Mu Zhong's voice in his earphones. Knowing that he was worried about him, he said, "I'm here. I arrived safely."
"Okay." Mu Zhong reminded again, "Be careful and keep in touch."
"Um."
Only then did Wei Huan shift his attention from the headphones and look at what was in front of him.
Moji was still standing on the cliff with the look of an emperor ascending the throne. Wei Huan's sudden appearance startled it. Its chest, which had just been raised high, shrank back again. What it saw was a small round face of a child with delicate features.
Wei Huan just stood there and did not approach Mo Ji casually. He could feel that his presence had somewhat affected Mo Ji's process of taking over the dark beast tribe, and those dark beasts were a little agitated.
This is not a good thing.
Wei Huan also wanted to see whether Mo Ji could really succeed in usurping the throne.
