Chapter 261 Heading to the Next Territory
"continue……"
Wei Huan silently gave orders in his mind, and at the same time, the portal behind him opened. In order not to affect the process of "usurping the throne", the undead came out one by one very low-key and slowly, and then flew silently into the sky to take charge of vigilance.
At any time, your own safety is the most important.
At the same time, Wei Huan's consciousness entered Mo Ji's soul more slowly and gently than before.
Mo Ji did not resist at all and allowed Wei Huan to spy on his soul.
Then Wei Huan saw a scene that didn't seem too unexpected.
Mo Ji's soul became very similar to a parasitic beast. The soul, which was originally a chaotic mass like thick fog, turned into strands of soul threads that were countless times thinner than a hair.
These soul threads were connected to each dark beast. Some were already connected, so that thread stretched out its sight, flew outwards, and disappeared into the void. No one knew which dark beast it was connected to.
But there are also many soul threads that are constantly shaking, as if they can never lock onto the "signal" and are wavering. When the soul is locked, it is like a poisonous snake coming out of a cave, suddenly piercing into the void and connecting with a dark beast.
When Wei Huan roughly understood the process, his expression seemed a little incredible.
What is this? A massive internet? Is the entire Dark Beast civilization a hoax? Is it some higher life form, an enemy created for humanity? Or is it the Philosopher's Stone?
Or is this the truth about the "swarm civilization" form?
Wei Huan couldn't get the real answer, but there was no doubt that Mo Ji was building his own "network".
This process lasted for a long time. Even though it seemed to him that seven or eight dark beasts were connected every second, there were too many dark beasts here. Some were far away and seemed unable to get close enough to offer their soul threads.
At the same time, at the foot of the cliff, a large group of emotionally stable dark beasts should have successfully established contact with Mo Ji, but they did not receive any orders, so they stayed where they were, or were waiting for orders.
Wei Huan glanced at Mo Ji who was just doing it on instinct.
It is just a child who knows nothing yet. If it wants to become a qualified "king", it seems that it still has a lot to learn.
Wei Huan didn't think it was difficult to teach an undead under his control and tell him the formation allocation that even elementary school students knew.
Because just thinking about a possible future makes him excited.
This was just the beginning, and if it ever came to pass, he would make it as terrible as the plague.
The most interesting thing is that the gravekeeper’s sequence six is the [Plague Spreader].
That would make him even more worthy of the name.
Wei Huan patiently taught Moji how to make the whole process faster and more efficient. Although Moji's IQ was a little insufficient, fortunately it was "obedient" and "patient" and could not express dissatisfaction to its ruler.
In this way, with one command at a time, the speed of "usurping the throne" became much faster, and before the darkness completely fell, these more than ten thousand spiritual connections were finally completed.
Wei Huan was very pleased to feel that there was another group of fighting forces under his ruler.
And he thought that he should pay more attention to Moji, and it was worth his focus on training.
Maybe it's time to send it to school.
I wonder if I can keep up if I am placed in the same grade as Dou Lin?
Under Wei Huan's control through Mo Ji, the chaotic dark beasts completely quieted down before the arrival of late night.
They returned to their respective tribes and nests, and continued their daily lives according to Moji's orders: hunting, playing, exploring, and fighting for territory, just like every other day, except that most of the territories were no longer occupied by Dark Beast Lords.
Most of the Dark Beast Lords were killed by Wei Huan. The remaining few Dark Beast Lords who were hunting down Mo Ji and others were also successfully controlled by Mo Ji with the help of Wei Huan, and now they have all returned to their own tribes.
There was a Dark Beast Lord with the highest level, a fourth-level Shuroma. Its tribe was not far from the area where Mu Zhong and others were resting at the moment. However, it was running wildly on the plain. This time, it did not have the kind of hatred for humans as if they were mortal enemies, but it did not get close to them either. It walked around the human camp and returned to its own tribe.
Wei Huan observed the entire route and after making sure it was completely safe, he brought Mo Ji back to the human camp.
Mo Ji's return was like lighting a lamp for people in the dark, and excited voices rang out in the camp.
"Moji is back."
"Finally I can see again."
"This damn place, no wonder it gave birth to such a nasty dark beast."
After all, only a few people have data glasses, and most of the challengers rushing in here are still "blind".
If they could not still see each other, and if Mo Ji came in at the critical moment, this time would have been really scary to think about.
It would be a great regret for mankind if Captain Fang, one of the pillars of mankind, were to sacrifice his life for this.
After dinner in the evening, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong stood together, and on the other side was Captain Fang, who had recovered a little.
The three of them stood in a row, followed by Xu Qingqiang, Captain Xue, Brother Chui, Xiong Yi, Wu Ning and others, and behind them were all the Da Xia challengers who came here.
They looked solemnly at the remains of bodies that were placed on the ground in front of them and tried to be put together as much as possible. Even though Wei Huan's undead army dug deep into the ground to collect them, they only brought back this much in the end.
Captain Fang's expression was as gloomy as if he were drowning in the deep sea. He held a torch in his hand, his lips trembling as he shouted loudly with a hint of moisture in his eyes: "Brothers, I'm taking you home!"
The flying torches lit up the ashes, and in the rolling red flames, suppressed sobs continued to ring out.
Wei Huan just stood there silently, letting the flames burn his eyes and turn into deep hatred.
He hated this scene.
I've always hated this scene.
After the flames burned out, Captain Fang collected the ashes and wrapped them carefully with clothes, leaving no powder behind.
Someone just cried.
Now someone is crying again.
Wei Huan turned to look at Mu Zhong, the fire in his eyes still burning: "I know the next Dark Beast King's territory, I'll go over and take a look."
Mu Zhong sighed. He did not comfort Wei Huan, nor did he stop him. He just said, "Wait a moment, we will go with you."
Wei Huan was about to say something, but Mu Zhong continued, "It's too far, probably beyond your summoning range. Why don't you take us with you? You can go wherever you want. This time we'll all be together."
Wei Huan understood and nodded.
The entire collection process was quiet and depressing. When a ray of light appeared in the sky, all the ashes were placed in Captain Fang's hands, and the atmosphere finally became a little better.
The dead are gone, but they still have to move forward, kill more dark beasts, and move forward together with the faith of their comrades.
Wei Huan summoned the Earth Beast and took everyone away.
Their goal was clear: to kill the Dark Beast King, the more the better.
Occasionally, Wei Huan would focus his attention on the [Task Bar] on the right side of the virtual projection screen, which displayed the tasks assigned by "Heart of Steel".
[Main Mission: Rescue 169/272 companions]
Mission Failed
Closing his eyes and then opening them again, Wei Huan said, "Close the main quest and only leave the side quests."
Soon the scarlet number disappeared, but it only disappeared from Wei Huan's eyes. The blood feud had long been deeply engraved in Wei Huan's heart.
[Side Quest 1: Kill the Dark Beast King 0/1]
[Side Quest 2: Kill the Dark Beast King 1/293]
[Side Quest 3: Kill the Dark Beast Lord 5210/1000000]
[Side Quest 4: Kill the Dark Beast 1020092/100000000]
Seeing these data, I feel much better.
We have already killed some of them, not counting ordinary dark beasts. We have killed more than 5,000 dark beast lords, which is some comforting news.
Of course it would be great if I could complete mission one, but if not, I can just kill more in mission two.
As for tasks three and four, this time there is no pressure to save people, but we still have to do them well.
The direction Wei Huan was flying in was different from the one he had figured out when he accompanied Mo Ji to "usurp the throne" late last night.
Without the Dark Beast King, the Dark Beast tribe would become noticeably restless, like a kite without a string, lacking stability and their eyes filled with confusion and fear. Conversely, the Dark Beasts with the Dark Beast King would have a very clear goal. They would usually live a stable life in the tribe, but they would be extremely aggressive towards humans and would regard Wei Huan as their mortal enemy.
Wei Huan's Demon Eye Lord flew only 20 miles in the sky, and he clearly felt the boundary between the territories of the two royal tribes: one side was in chaos, and the other side was in order.
However, Wei Huan believed that the Dark Beast Clan must have known about his coming here, and would not let him live so leisurely any longer. They would definitely make some arrangements against him.
Yesterday, his own soul appeared on the edge of the territory of the Dark Beast King, whom he had never met before. If the Dark Beast King set a trap to hunt him, it would most likely be here.
Or is it the Dharma image of a group of dark beast kings?
Wei Huan thought to himself that there were indeed some risks, but the rewards would also be huge.
Think about the opening battle, when he slaughtered over ten Dark Beast Kings at once. It wasn't just a matter of taking a few beasts' lives. While boosting his own morale, it also frightened the Dark Beasts so much that, even with their formations fully deployed, they wouldn't dare fight again. They would all flee back to their lairs in disgrace, handing over this victory to him.
Sometimes, there is a thunderbolt.
The harder you swing your fist, the more afraid your opponent will be of you.
All the plans and calculations are just to make up for the lack of personal strength. A true strong person can leave calmly even when facing a tight net, leaving an everlasting shadow on the opponent.
Wei Huanming knew there was danger ahead, but he still chose to go forward.
The goal is to attack the Dark Beast Clan's most proud arrangement head-on, break their calculations, and from now on, make them terrified when they hear their name.
Wei Huan left at a leisurely pace to give everyone time to recover from their grief.
When Wei Huan saw the mountain wall where Mo Ji "usurped the throne" from afar, he thought of something and called Mo Ji over.
Moji was now the "light" in everyone's eyes. Its location, within a certain range, allowed Captain Fang to clearly see the truth of the Dark Beast World. Coupled with its unexpected behavior yesterday, Wei Huan had not yet taken it back to the tomb.
This Moji, who is the size of an adult horse, should be a foal in the Shuroma tribe. He looks the same as the Shuroma we have seen along the way, except that there is a green flame burning deep in his eyes.
That is the soul rekindled by the fire of death.
Wei Huan ordered Mo Ji to be ready to "usurp the throne" at any time.
Their goal is to kill the Dark Beast King. Once the Dark Beast King dies, the Dark Beasts will be leaderless, and Mo Ji will be able to "usurp the throne", and all that will be converted will be their combat power.
Mo Ji has three heads, one with a mellow and well-behaved expression, one with a ferocious smirk, and one with clear eyes and a kind face.
Shuroma has three heads, but each head has never had a different expression. Only Moji is special. The front head is well-behaved, like a child, while the ferocious and kind heads represent its good and evil.
Of course, it is not accurate to judge the good or bad of Xiu Luoma by human standards. We can only say that Moji is sometimes very well-behaved, and sometimes too naughty, but most of the time he is confused like a child who is not very sensible.
These three leaders only listen to Wei Huan.
Wei Huan asked it to lie down beside him, so it lay down and rolled over. It looked around for a while on the ground, perhaps because it was bored, but it looked at Wei Huan and did not move. The ignorant one of them lowered its head, raised its six arms, and played rock-paper-scissors with itself.
When Wei Huan turned around and saw this scene, he was strangely moved by its cuteness and raised his hand to touch the ignorant and well-behaved head.
The feel is very strange, the short, hard hair sticks to the scalp and feels smooth, but not as comfortable as soft hair. This feeling is more like stroking a strong beast, smooth, sharp and hard, and it feels like it will vaguely cut your palm.
But Wei Huan felt the softness in Mo Ji's eyes when he suddenly looked up, with dependence and enjoyment in them.
Although it is the body of the dead, it seems to have temperature. One can even feel the blood flowing under the skin, which is a thriving life.
A life that truly comes back from the dead.
Wei Huan didn't know what was wrong with Moji, but he cherished this special someone. If he could understand the reason why Moji was able to come back to life, would that allow all the dead souls in his tomb to be resurrected? One day, when the human tomb appeared before his eyes, could he bring them back to the human world?
"We're here." Mu Zhong's voice pulled Wei Huan's thoughts back from their wandering state. He came to his senses and looked ahead. In the dense jungle, he saw dark beasts hiding in the gaps between the leaves, spying at him.
The running wolves and violent bears were on the ground, the Lord of the Demon Eyes was hanging on the treetops, and the noisy ghost crows were no longer noisy. They were hiding everywhere, and it was so quiet that it seemed as if there was just a jungle there.
Unfortunately, this kind of concealment is completely useless for extraordinary humans. Wei Huan not only has the heroic Demon Eye Lord to help him see the whole picture, but even the data glasses can easily detect the existence of dark beasts.
The dark energy that fills their bodies is as clear as a lamp in the darkness.
Wei Huan was filled with murderous intent, and he intended to scare the dark beast again, but he would not be so arrogant as to rush into the trap without paying any attention.
Now that the people have been rescued and the hatred has been borne, all that remains is to kill the dark beast.
Cleaning up from the edges, killing them all before pushing forward, that's also good, isn't it? Killing both sides, and avoiding being calculated and surrounded.
Wei Huan asked Dian Ma to stop, and the portal behind him opened. The undead army poured out from it and rushed towards the jungle.
Xu Qingqiang was on duty this morning and led his men to join the battle with the undead army. Now it's not just Wei Huan who needs to vent, everyone is burning with anger.
“Hehehe——”
As Xu Qingqiang's strange laughter drifted away, Wei Huan heard a "clang" sound, like the sound of a golden bell falling to the ground from above his head.
Then, a semi-transparent protective shield appeared around the bodies of the two earth beasts they were on. It didn't look much like a chariot. It didn't have that flowing feeling, but it was thicker, and it seemed to be a little bit dislocated from the outside world.
Wei Huan looked at Captain Fang.
Captain Fang said: "Basic capabilities, don't worry about my consumption, you guys charge in the front and leave the rear to us."
A crew member beside him nodded. "That's right. Even though I'm blind, I can still fight within a hundred meters. We've been saved by you and the others, so we have to make some contribution."
Captain Fang stopped Wei Huan from saying anything and said with a smile, "We need this sense of value, not a bunch of weaklings who just wait to be rescued."
"That's right! Captain Wei, just trust us and leave your back to us!"
"We would risk our lives to ensure that you and your crew are not harmed in the slightest."
Wei Huan closed his mouth and nodded.
Turning his head again, all his attention was focused on the battlefield ahead.
The defense line set up by the dark beasts against him was defeated in one blow by the attack of the undead army. Even if some high-level dark beast lords occasionally killed a lot of undead, these emerging dark beast lords would soon be targeted by Xu Qingqiang.
Xu Qingqiang attacked in anger with bloody means, and wherever he passed, there was a trail of blood and body parts.
The undead army pushed forward like a meat grinder, and dark beasts died along the way. When Wei Huan set foot on this road, the ground had been completely dyed black, and a fishy and foul smell was rising up, as if the whole world was polluted.
Captain Fang and others who experienced this situation for the first time frowned slightly. Only those who followed Wei Huan all the way here looked calm. It is believed that Captain Fang and others will soon get used to this kind of situation.
Liu Chengzhi's voice came from behind: "Fuck, it stinks. Did you pass by their cesspool?"
Wei Huan was amused, and then felt very relieved that Liu Chengzhi was still alive.
Dou Lin had already recovered from his shock.
A child born to challenge the world has been fighting for survival since birth and has long been accustomed to this life-and-death crisis. He smiled as soon as he filled his stomach last night.
At this time, he still had the mind to lie on the back of the underground beast and look down, saying: "I smell this smell before, it shouldn't be a cesspool, isn't it the same smell where we came from? It must be that the dark beasts are too smelly, they don't take baths."
Liu Chengzhi: "Yes, they don't take a bath, and you expect them to build a toilet for themselves? They will definitely urinate and defecate anywhere."
Dou Lin: "But in order to eliminate the smell on their bodies and conceal their tracks, some wild animals will bury their feces."
Liu Chengzhi: "So the Dark Beasts are not even as good as the wild beasts of our Blue Star. They are the lowest form of life."
Dou Lin: "Yes! But is it true that you can hold a rabbit in your arms without eating people? How can rabbits not eat people? They do eat people..."
The two of them felt very safe because they were with Wei Huan, so they started chatting with each other, which made the killing battlefield a little more relaxed.
Captain Fang seemed to have remembered all the children who were born in the Challenge World and could not return because of this conversation. He was about to chat with Wei Huan when suddenly something strange happened.
There was a sudden movement underground as they passed by. Flames spewed out, and in the midst of gray smoke, countless shells flew out "whoosh". They were so fast that they arrived in front of Wei Huan in the blink of an eye.
There were continuous explosions with "boom".
Wei Huan reacted quickly and immediately grew bigger, trying to use his body to block the shells and protect everyone.
But the shell exploded prematurely a hundred meters away, and all the power of the explosion was blocked by the protective shield.
Wei Huan turned to look at Captain Fang.
Captain Fang responded with a relaxed look, as if the methods that the Dark Beast Kings had arranged in advance to kill him were as threatening as the breeze in front of him.
Looking at the thermal weapons bombarding the protective shield, it is indeed a strange sense of separation that these things appear on a planet with such an animal civilization. No wonder I didn't notice it at first.
But it's not surprising.
The assessment for the Dark Beast Lord is a cultural improvement like the "college entrance exam". The Dark Beasts with low IQs are only instinctive. Even if they have received lifelong compulsory education, they still cannot even learn "1234".
Even for highly intelligent creatures like the Dark Beast Kings and the High Star Nobles, it is very difficult to get them to give up their claws and teeth, as well as their hard fur, abandon martial arts and turn to literature, to smelting and mining, and to build factories to manufacture weapons.
At least so far, this is the first time he has seen the existence of thermal weapons in the Dark Beast Plane.
Needless to say, these things are here to deal with him.
As the first knight of mankind, Captain Fang’s strongest point is defense.
In the past, when humans were engaged in a siege battle with the Dark Beast Lord, if Captain Fang had not been able to protect some of the chariots and rush to the city, humans, as a "late-stage race", would probably have been destroyed much earlier.
Captain Fang's ability is unquestionable, and defending against the explosion of such thermal weapons seems to be his strong point.
Letting the shells roar in the protective shield, Captain Fang sat on the ground like a compassionate Buddha, with half-closed eyes, one side glaring like a furious Vajra, the other like a compassionate Bodhisattva, and finally turning into this stable little world, protecting everyone's safety.
Wei Huan has always respected Captain Fang, and even more so at this moment.
It is because of this concern for the world that we can have such absolute defense.
The special talents awakened by the challenger seemed to come from the resonance deep in the soul. Although Captain Fang did not look like a Buddha from the outside, his heart was extremely pure.
After the dark beast's ambush was stopped by Captain Fang, it was like a fireworks show and no longer posed any threat.
Moreover, Wei Huan's undead army was no pushover either. After discovering they were ambushed, the ground troops immediately rushed forward, whether to dismantle, destroy, or even just wade through with their bodies.
The threat was clearing quickly, and soon even the fireworks show was gone.
Wei Huan said to Captain Fang, "Thank goodness you're here."
Captain Fang smiled and said, "I feel relieved if I can help."
Wei Huan said, "You have done enough for the human race, and I have always been under your protection and care."
Captain Fang said, "You've already given back a thousand-fold. We're all working towards the same goal, and that's all that matters."
"Yes, for the sake of the human race."
