Chapter 287 I Can Go, But You Can’t
"Butler, help me connect them."
"They declined the call request."
“Try other ways to contact them.”
"They have already exited war mode, unless their tanks are systems hacked, but this will take time. They are entering an active area of the God Surge, and it will be impossible to contact them in time."
"Try your best..." Mu Zhong couldn't bear to watch the people on those chariots die. The leader's ambition was to let a thousand people on the chariots die with him. Mu Zhong couldn't look on indifferently, so after a pause, he said, "Immediately start the chariots and chase after them. Try to intercept them. If necessary, you can launch weapons attacks to stop their advance!"
Although the conversation between Mu Zhong and the AI butler was inconclusive, the people present at the meeting had already deduced the whole story from just a few words.
Some people frowned and some were anxious. Obviously, some wanted to save him and some didn't want to care. But in the end, human nature took over and no one said anything to stop him at this moment.
Three chariots, after all, there are three thousand people.
Among these three thousand people, I am afraid that most of them are innocent. They have no idea of the fate they are about to face. They die like this. It is too pitiful and we cannot ignore it.
When the chariot restarted, the walls around the conference room were lit up, and a 360-degree projection of the outside of the vehicle appeared, like a circular glass window. Even though they were inside the chariot, they could easily see the entire environment outside.
The sea water outside was gray under the illumination of the level 8 light, as if I had returned to the rest space and could not see too far.
However, one could barely see the three tanks that were heading to the bottom of the sea, not knowing whether to live or die and having shut down all communications.
It would be fine if we just watched them heading towards the bottom of the sea, but with the help of Iron Heart, the divine surge overflowing with colorful light also appeared on the projection screen. From this angle, we can clearly see that they are rushing towards the area where the divine surge is frequent as if they are going to die.
It's like a moth flying into a flame, not tragic, just foolish and ridiculous.
Without the assistance of the Iron Heart, it would be very dangerous, even impossible, for humans to enter and exit areas with dense divine surges.
These people only saw the benefits and not the dangers, thinking that Wei Huan and his companions could easily enter and exit, and that this place was safe.
They were even worried that they would stop them and shut down their communications. Even the god of death would be unable to keep up with the speed at which they were committing suicide.
"Chase them!" Mu Zhong ordered, "Fire weapons here and make them stop!"
“Yes!”
The chariot started and rushed out after the three chariots. At the same time, an aura of an eighth-level weapon flew out and passed over the heads of the three chariots. It was not an attack, but just to remind them to stop.
The result was that the three chariots ran even faster.
There were still three chariots left in place and saw this scene.
As Wei Huan's chariot left, taking Guangming with it, they had no choice but to chase after it, asking in the communication: "What happened, Captain Mu? Why are you attacking them?"
Someone else directly asked: "Resources are first come, first served. It is wrong for you to attack your allies because of this."
Mu Zhong glanced at the person who was speaking. He was the person they rescued, who was closely connected with the three chariots, but was now left behind.
Thinking of a possibility, Mu Zhong said, "Captain, if you can keep communicating with them, tell them that the road ahead is filled with violent energy and they must stop immediately."
But unexpectedly, the driver only questioned: "You were not careful when you entered today. Don't be alarmist."
Xu Qingqiang was the first to laugh out loud: "Idiot, how can you compare with us? Why do you think a mere level 6 car is the same as a level 7 car?"
"You!" The person being scolded looked grim.
Xu Qingqiang continued, "So, are they keeping you here to keep watch, or do they want to avoid sharing resources with you? There are priceless resources down there. Do you know if they take more?"
"You, you, you! You really found the treasure but didn't tell us. Aren't you planning to keep it all for yourself?"
Xu Qingqiang laughed: "What's wrong with taking it all for yourself? Come and fight me if you don't agree!"
"!!" The driver was so angry. If they could beat Wei Huan, would they be so compromising?
Xu Qingqiang sneered and said coldly, "Stop it now, or someone will die."
Although the tank commander was extremely angry, he also knew the importance of the matter. He turned his head doubtfully and contacted the tank in front.
Here, Mu Zhong looked at the chariot that was heading towards a huge divine surge and urged, "Hurry up! Make them stop!
Don’t go any further! Stop! ! !
But obviously, even those who received the news did not show complete trust and did not stop.
After choosing to take this step, it was difficult for them to turn back, and their desire for the treasure made them somewhat skeptical of Mu Zhong's words.
Even though Mu Zhong had clearly told them that there was a divine surge ahead, their choice was only to slow down and explore carefully, rather than stop completely or turn around and leave.
Wei Huan's chariot chased after them at the fastest speed, trying to stand between the chariot and the divine surge. No matter what attitude these people had, whether he wanted to drive them away or not, he had to at least stop them first.
This is the bottom line of human nature.
But their actions irritated the other side. Pandit looked at the approaching Wei Huan chariot and the halo launched to stop them with red eyes, and said to his AI butler: "Damn it, what else do they want? Do they want to monopolize the treasure? These Daxia people have already controlled Blue Star through force and wealth. Isn't it enough? Are they not willing to give anything at all? Greedy! Selfish! Damn it!"
Ignore him and move on!"
The AI butler received the order and drove a little further forward.
The expected impact didn't occur. Did they enter that energy? Why couldn't they feel anything?
Were you cheated?
Pandit thought of something and wanted to speak triumphantly, but he saw the two chariots that had completely stopped for some reason, and the original white car that had caught up with them.
They stood there motionless, far away from him, and a kind of absurd fear rose in his heart.
Pandit frowned, actually realizing the problem.
He was not completely stupid or reckless, but there was no turning back. Like a shot arrow, they had offended Wei Huan. After this time, they would definitely be expelled from the sixth-level world. If they went back without getting anything, they would become the laughing stock of the whole world.
"Go, speed up, leave them alone, and get out of here." Pandit ordered, looking at the seemingly unchanged scenery, urging, "Go, why are you slowing down?"
The chariot did not just slow down, it stopped. A terrible heat seeped in from outside the chariot at a very fast speed. The speed inside the chariot was increasing rapidly. This temperature was not just simple heat, but also a more irresistible force. Before Pandit could say more, his eyes quickly blurred as if he was drunk. It took less than three seconds from being slightly tipsy to being drunk, and he completely lost consciousness.
He is dead.
Before he died, he didn't know he was dead.
A powerful Sequence Five warrior died before he could even last three seconds in the divine surge.
It's so fast that it makes people feel cold.
The two vehicles stopped by Mu Zhong were the chariots of the Fence Nation and the Tula Nation. As established Western European powers, they were in cahoots with Osam, and had always worked together to oppress other nations solely for their own interests. Now that the Osam chariots had been captured and General Qiao Xi was missing, the remaining nations clearly had no intention of truly submitting. Instead, they had their own agenda, leading to their current unauthorized actions.
But Pandit never dreamed that when he rushed forward, the two chariots that had agreed to advance and retreat together had already slowed down and fallen behind him, intending to arrange for him to explore the way.
In the eyes of these nations, the Three Kingdoms were never great powers, but rather their vassal states, their people serving as their errand boys. Even after the advent of the Challenge World, when larger populations gained a greater advantage, and in terms of military strength alone, the Three Kingdoms surpassed these Western European nations, neither side clearly recognized this shift in status. One still habitually acted as the master, while the other still knelt with its chest and head held high, believing it had stood up.
Therefore, in this challenging world where the situation is actually unclear and full of dangers, the reason why Tula and Fence countries made this arrangement was to let Pandit go ahead from the beginning.
By the time Wei Huan's chariots caught up and fired weapons in their direction, they were already a little slow.
After waiting for the message from the allies and Wei Huan's chariot to stop them, they came to a complete stop despite being extremely cautious.
However, facing the interception of Wei Huan's chariot, they did not feel grateful. They even said in the call: "See, I knew this would happen. He will definitely take action to stop us. People with power only want to maintain their power forever. He will not let go easily if he challenges resources as bribes."
It was a complaint like this that I couldn't finish before I could say the rest of the words.
Because they watched as the Pandit chariot seemed to be just parked in front of them, and suddenly the door opened, and a person jumped out from inside.
A man I had never seen before, but he was wearing the uniform of the Three Kingdoms Challenge Legion and must be a member of the chariot. He jumped out of the chariot door and threw his fragile body directly into the terrifying sea water.
But unexpectedly, he did not die after jumping into the sea, but swam towards the depths of the sea like a fish.
However, sharp-eyed people noticed that he left trails of blood behind him as he swam away, as if his seven orifices were bleeding and gushing out due to the pressure of the deep sea.
But even so, it did not stop him from swimming deeper, and his movements were agile, and he completely disappeared in a few seconds.
The strange behavior attracted everyone's attention until they could no longer see the man. Just as everyone was about to look away and say something, they saw many people jumping out of the chariot with its doors wide open. Like the man before, they jumped into the sea and left without looking back.
This scene is so weird.
Because one thing is certain, normal people would not leave the tank and jump into the sea, and leave in a line like this.
"What's going on? Contact Pandit!"
"Are they crazy?"
"Are we crazy? No one is going to save them? What are you all just standing there watching? Just watching them die?"
"Don't go." Mu Zhong sighed, "They are in that energy, and their bodies seem to have been controlled by this energy. Just like before, they are no longer themselves."
"Impossible, how long has it been? This is too scary."
"Don't underestimate the world of challenge. Even a drop of water can kill people, not to mention that this sea is inherently strange and terrifying."
"Is there really no other solution? Deputy Commander Mu, please think of a solution quickly. Where is Commander Wei now?"
The communication channel exploded, and the drivers from Tula and Fence countries were terrified and asked to return to the communication. It was obvious that they were very scared.
Knowing the danger is one thing, but seeing someone who is one step ahead of you get into trouble is another feeling. A strong sense of fear surged in my heart, and some people even felt weak in the knees.
"Save him? Is it impossible to save him?" The driver of the Tula team still had some hope.
Mu Zhong said, “You can try it.”
"How to try?"
Mu Zhong didn't want to answer this stupid question, it seemed he was scared silly.
But after that, everyone did try to rescue them.
After all, there were a thousand people in the chariot, and it would take some time even if they lined up to jump down. During this period, the chariots next to it tried all means except sending out challengers directly, but they were still unable to get into the Shenyong area even an inch. All their means of attack were directly blocked outside by the Shenyong.
"It's like a passage in a different space. Our attacks are completely useless if they land on it."
This is how others understand this unknown energy.
Someone also asked Mu Zhong: "Major General Mu, where is Commander Wei? Perhaps he has a solution."
Mu Zhong said, "There's no other way. This is why we stayed on the seabed for so long and finally returned here."
I don’t believe you!
Those returning facehuggers clearly seem to have gained something!
But perhaps the scene of people lining up to die was too terrifying, or perhaps their understanding of Shenyong was limited, and the unknown magnified their fear, so this time no one dared to question it.
Xu Qingqiang's words once again echoed in the minds of all tank commanders... Where they can go, others may not be able to go. There is a world of difference between a level 7 tank and a level 6 tank.
The gap in strength is right in front of us, making people feel extremely powerless.
After the opening battle, Wei Huan went to the Dark Beast Plane for a month, and then stayed in the foggy space for nearly a month. A lot of things happened in these two months, and almost everyone's chariots here were upgraded.
They thought they could explore the sixth-level world, or at least explore it conservatively, but reality slapped them in the face. It turned out that after two months, they were still nothing.
A reckless action ended miserably at the cost of 5,000 lives, and it also left a permanent shadow in the hearts of the surviving tank commanders who acted on their own initiative.
Some people even become discouraged and want to leave Challenge World and never come back.
At this moment, Wei Huan was unaware of so many things happening in the outside world. He was concentrating on practicing and trying to reach the final step.
He could feel that it was almost there, just a little bit.
It's just this one thing that makes him always seem unable to find the right direction.
From [Gatekeeper of the Underworld] to [Plague Spreader], it can be seen from the name alone that he has taken another step forward and has broken away from the identity of a "cow or horse". He has gone from working for the power of the underworld to controlling the power of the underworld.
The step from passive to active is critical and difficult.
Of course, it's possible that enlightenment came naturally, all in one step. If it weren't for the urgent matter that required him to upgrade his sequence, Wei Huan might have stopped here and waited a little longer, letting the upgrade happen naturally. Unfortunately, time was running out, and in his eagerness to break through, he had no idea what to do.
This is obviously not a good phenomenon.
After Wei Huan tried several times without success, he realized that he must have used his strength in the wrong way and was too stubborn. This would not work. More haste makes waste, so he had to adjust his mood and try again.
As for exploring the seabed after advancement, it is not extremely urgent and can be postponed.
Wei Huan saw that the time was almost up and his spiritual power had recovered without him noticing. Thinking that there might be no chance to fight today, he planned to consume half of his spiritual power to recruit the undead.
While exploring the secrets of the seabed, many of his souls died, and none of them could be resurrected in the tomb. For Wei Huan, this was a huge loss.
He casually recruited a dozen or so two-headed hidden demons to surround him, and after leaving half of his dark power, he planned to leave the professional temple.
But as he turned around, Wei Huan suddenly felt an unusual gaze falling on him.
That gaze was like a thorn, piercing the back of his head, as if two or three hairs were pulled. Neither the pain nor the pulling sensation was strong, but it was impossible to ignore.
Wei Huan's figure, which was about to leave, came back a second before disappearing.
Then he looked in the direction where the sight came from, and with a thought, Dian Ma rushed out like a turbocharged car.
Wei Huan was overjoyed.
Any abnormality is an opportunity for him to break through. He was just worrying about the direction of breakthrough when this gaze came to him. It was like a pillow being delivered to him when he was sleepy!
However, he doesn't have much time left to stay in the Professional Temple, so he must end the battle quickly.
Dian Ma was moving at full speed. Except for the elites on the back shell and the fastest-moving ghost crow, the other undead had no time to catch up and completely lost the trace of Wei Huan.
Wei Huan grabbed the tail that he didn't have time to hide completely, and used such speed for the first time in the tomb world. In three to five minutes, he traveled two to three hundred miles.
The world of the tomb is desolate, with almost flat terrain, like a semicircular tomb roof hanging on the ground, but because it is too big, the arc shape cannot be felt.
There were no mountains, seas, or lakes in the tomb, only a pitch-black netherworld filled with the aura of death. The netherworld seemed alive, and if Wei Huan stepped on it, it would cling to him affectionately, as if he had found his true source. However, Dian Ma possessed the ability to levitate, and Wei Huan's feet could hardly touch the ground, so the netherworld could not touch him at all.
That is, the underworld that Wei Huan had gradually become accustomed to and even ignored had turned into a pile of mud in front of him.
The dark, muddy, mixed together mud looked like it was grabbed by a giant and slapped up layer by layer, forming a pile of mud about 20 to 30 meters high.
When Wei Huan saw this thing, his eyes lit up.
Was it just as he'd imagined? The one he'd been waiting for had finally arrived? Only the special could be special. Even after death, he still wanted to build a house for himself? He really couldn't stop being a good person.
Thinking of this, the undead elites that Wei Huan followed had already rushed out with extreme ferocity. Some of the two-headed hidden demons that habitually hung on Dian Ma and were brought along also flew over with a whoosh.
The undead army rushed forward, but before they could touch the pile of mud, the pile of mud suddenly stood up and ran away.
That's right, he stood up and ran.
As if trying to hide itself, it curled up its entire body at first, but then realized it couldn't hide, so it turned into a shapeless mud animal with six claws on the ground, running away wildly, leaving mud spots all over the place.
This mud is the dark beast royal family?
Looking at the dirty thing, Wei Huan was a little stunned and didn't want it anymore for a moment.
Of course I think so, but those who should be caught cannot escape.
Moreover, Wei Huan also realized that whether he could become a "plague spreader" today probably depended on this monster.
I don’t know if it’s the Dark Beast King, but I’ll just catch him first.
The monster ran away very quickly, but it was not faster than Wei Huan.
Wei Huan has a natural strength bonus in this tomb. He is the only dominant class and has a natural suppressing effect on any undead, including this kind of monster.
In addition, the undead under his control have also escaped from their original state and have been upgraded in the [Undead Ranch]. Even higher-level elite undead will be born. Under his training, they will grow into "Heroes", "Epic Heroes", "Legendary Heroes", "Pseudo-God Heroes", and there is also a chance to cultivate "God Hero" level undead.
Dian Ma is a legendary hero, whose life level is far beyond that of the natives in this tomb. Even though this monster is very special and should be quite powerful, it is nothing in Dian Ma's eyes.
Its body suddenly expanded to a height of a thousand meters. With just a light leap, one of its slender legs poked the body of the mud monster in the air, pinning it firmly to the ground.
"Yi~~"
Wei Huan used his mental power to brush against Dianma's soul, as if caressing it and praising it, then he walked to the edge of the carapace and looked down.
At this moment, the other undead elites rushed over and surrounded the mud monster.
At first, there were only some elite undead following Wei Huan, and the two-headed hidden demon flying in the air. Later, the undead army he left behind came one after another, like rivers flowing into the sea, and their number was boundless.
When Wei Huan was not summoning them, these undead souls stayed in this big tomb. They did not need food or entertainment. They originally had different areas according to their strength star level, but after being recruited by Wei Huan, these ideas disappeared.
When Wei Huan is not around, they stay still as if they were turned off. When Wei Huan comes to the Professional Temple, they wake up and follow him all the time.
Not counting the storage capacity of Dian Ma's "arsenal", Wei Huan has 150,000 undead on his side, and they follow him wherever he goes.
Now Wei Huan had an idea, and the undead army seemed to be injected with vitality. They rushed forward, climbed up the mud pile, and bit and ripped it to see what was hidden underneath.
The underworld was torn off and splashed everywhere. Soon the undead army peeled off the underworld, but did not find anything hidden inside, as if the monster was the underworld.
Wei Huan felt that he didn't have much time left here and didn't want to waste any more time, so he swept his spiritual sense over the place.
In his eyes, it was like a ball of white light clearly visible in the middle of a bunch of lit lamps, it was not too dazzling.
