Chapter 289: The Man Controlled by the Divine Surge
While chatting about serious matters, they turned to the topic of feelings. Such a light-hearted topic and the smiling face of the man opposite relieved Wei Huan's fatigue. He enjoyed the atmosphere at the moment. It was not until after they finished their meal that they returned to the topic of serious matters.
"Three days is too short. I've only upgraded a few elites and over 300 two-headed hidden demons. I don't know if it's enough.
Dianma has also reached level six, but like me, the undead in the arsenal also need to be upgraded one by one.
I didn't feel that way before, but now I realize that while the gravekeepers are strong, they also have obvious weaknesses. The gap between them has been too long."
Mu Zhong listened to Wei Huan and said, "As long as we are not reckless, it doesn't matter if there is a gap between the old and the new."
Wei Huan asked, "What do you think of this action?"
Mu Zhong said, "We can try. Our biggest advantage is that we have the ability to back off. If things really get out of hand, we can retreat calmly."
Wei Huan nodded: "You are still good at comforting people."
Mu Zhong was surprised: "Haven't you thought about this before?"
Wei Huan said, "I'm aiming for Sequence 6 because I want to succeed in one strike. I'm asking this because I've lost some confidence in my goal. Three days is still too short."
"It can last for a few days. We have to stay here. No one can say anything."
"No, like you said, let's go and test the waters first."
"Alright."
After the two finished chatting and eating, they did not stay in the room, but went straight to the cab without stopping.
Although they don't have to be so self-righteous, the fact is that the whole world is now revolving around them. If they don't move, the development progress of the human race will come to a standstill.
The appearance of the divine corpse is the loudest alarm bell, reminding mankind that it is not time to just lie down and develop.
Three days later, Wei Huan returned to the cab again. Although there was no noise in the cab, the suddenly lit eyes and the high spirits atmosphere showed that their "backbone" was back.
Now that the boss is back, I have the confidence to deal with everything and I feel much brighter.
The same situation also appeared in the video of the Allied tanks.
When the drivers saw Wei Huan again, they all smiled with relief, and then congratulations rang out one after another.
"Congratulations, Commander Wei, on your advancement to Sequence Six."
"Congratulations, Commander Wei, you are the first sequence of humanity."
"Yes, the first sequence, and also the strongest, the well-deserved leader of the human race, the beacon of the human race!"
Wei Huan kept on complimenting me for a while without stopping.
It is difficult to advance to Sequence Six. Even Wei Huan could only grow so fast with the cultivation of multiple resources. Moreover, after Sequence Six, humans have the confidence to deal with the current world on their own. Just think about it and it will be different.
Wei Huan simply didn't want to fight a battle he wasn't sure of winning, not that he liked to travel at night in fine clothes. He had no intention of hiding the news of his chariot being at the seventh level or his advancement to sequence six.
If "showing off his muscles" can make some people afraid and reduce intrigue, he is willing to show his strength.
After all, human nature is such a strange thing. When the gap is not big, people are full of jealousy. Only when the gap is big enough, so big that it cannot be surpassed no matter what, all contradictions disappear.
For example, in this incident, facing the "treasure" that may be found on the seabed, if it were other captains, it might not be as simple as a few tanks sneaking away. Maybe in the face of interests, there would be a battle within the team first. Even if it ends up with nothing, they cannot let the other party get the good things, and they can only watch helplessly. Human nature is sometimes so complicated.
Wei Huan bombarded the seabed for a long time, but no one dared to ask for a share.
This is the difference between having strength and not having strength.
As for those who are unwilling to die, they will eventually learn what is right and what is wrong after learning some lessons.
So, when Wei Huan said that he wanted to explore the seabed again, the other chariots, including the captains of the most cautious countries, Fence and Tula, chose to follow silently, not daring to say a word.
Wei Huan has risen and proved the gap between them with his strength. If he can't adjust his attitude and be a good "little brother", he may not even be able to drink a sip of soup when he returns.
The convoy set off again, leaving Vanguard Huan and ordered Dian Ma to take away General Joshi and Pandit's chariots.
What if the person is rescued?
Theoretically, the chariots are deeply tied to the challenger. Once a human dies, the chariots are reclaimed by the challenger world, and any trace of their existence is completely erased from this world. However, General Joshi and Pandit's chariots have not yet disappeared. This is their last hope, perhaps they are not truly dead yet.
When everyone knew that Wei Huan was going to rescue someone, they started to get nervous, but this time no one said anything and just followed him.
The tank group was driving very quietly in this "core area". There was no trace of the remnants of the impostor here, and the occasional divine surge was also avoided by Iron Heart early on.
There are no treasure chests, no ruins, and it's even calmer than sailing on the sea.
But it was too calm, and it felt like a storm was about to come.
The convoy kept moving forward, and Wei Huan did not share the real-time map with them, so the other tanks did not know the direction they were going or where they were going.
They walked like this day after day. When they were moving horizontally, the whole world seemed much bigger. What's more, they were still in this "coffin", moving vertically.
While we were on the road, the assessment of the newcomers on the highway also came to an end.
Many outstanding talents appeared this year, and there were even more than ten young geniuses who had awakened to level five. With sufficient resources, they all waited for the gold-level treasure chests and obtained their own opportunities.
The first treasure chest has no monsters.
Even if it is a golden treasure chest, as long as you can endure the highly toxic air outside the car, you can get your own great opportunity and use courage and perseverance to make your starting point higher than others.
In addition to this, there are two other points worth mentioning.
Among these 14 young geniuses who have awakened to level five, 11 are from Daxia.
Daxia is now very wealthy and powerful, and its young people are almost armed to the teeth, even distributing weapons and equipment on primary roads.
The strong resource guarantee not only makes the young people of Daxia more courageous to fight, but also reduces the mortality rate to less than 1% unprecedentedly.
Challenging the world is changing from a nightmare world that young people fear to a new starting point that they yearn for.
In addition, many countries have tried to awaken the second sequence of gravekeepers, but all have failed.
They studied Wei Huan's life and all the legends about the necromancer, and tried to copy and imitate him in every possible way, trying to create a second Wei Huan, but unfortunately they failed.
Wei Huan was really dead, so he had a "pass to the underworld" and could become a "gravekeeper."
No matter how others disguise themselves, even if they try to use dying people to create this sequence, dying is not death after all, and Wei Huan's experience cannot be replicated.
The grand newcomer challenge has come to an end. The eyes of the people of Blue Star are focused on this and it is discussed hotly every day. Some people have been hailed as "Little Wei Huan", "Wei Huan's successor" and so on by the domestic news media.
Before Daxia could follow the trend of such topics, the Information Security Department blocked such phrases. Wei Huan was still young and in his prime. As a pillar of mankind and a hero of Daxia, some topics could be hyped but some could not.
However, those 11 young men from Daxia did have their moment in the spotlight, receiving more attention than in previous years, but there were also a few who were lost in the spotlight.
Amidst this carnival celebration, some people quietly embarked on their journey to the sixth-level world.
This is an extremely risky challenge.
Without Wei Huan's leadership, they were destined to be unable to easily defeat the monsters that challenged the world. The combat effectiveness of the two level 6 chariots that they had barely put together was far from enough.
No one even knew whether the Dark Beast Tribe would cause trouble in this challenge.
Before setting off, all the soldiers knew that if they were not careful, their entire army might be defeated in this test.
Just for the sake of humanity, for the sake of the motherland, and for their own lofty ideals, they are willing to take risks and fight!
Moreover, it was not only the legions of Daxia who participated in this operation. Other countries also sent soldiers who were willing to take risks. When ordinary people were unaware of it, at this moment of universal celebration, they quietly set off with a tragic mood as if they were going to die.
Wei Huan was still moving forward quietly on the seabed. He had been walking like this for ten days. It was only when the AI butler reminded him that he knew that today was the day when the rookie challenge ended and other road challenges began.
In other words, the human army will carry the most important World Tree and come to this world after passing numerous tests.
But he has not yet discovered the true secret of this world, and he is not sure what will happen if the World Tree is planted on the body of the god's corpse?
This action is like an arrow that has been shot, there is no turning back.
The task left to him also changed from gathering intelligence to removing obstacles.
If the corpse of the god hinders the development of the human race, then destroy it!
Wei Huan just couldn't believe that he, who had fought against living mythical beasts, would be unable to deal with a corpse that had been dead for who knows how many years.
No matter how powerful the divine corpse is, it will be restricted by the world and will not have the strength to exceed the level of this world. If he fights this battle, he has a great chance of winning.
They continued on their journey, and after another five days, Wei Huan finally announced, "We're getting closer."
In fact, the 15-day journey was a good thing. The level 6 undead that he felt was not enough at first finally formed combat effectiveness. Even if he had to deal with a dragon's pool and a tiger's acupoint next, he had the confidence to get through it.
In response to this announcement, the others did not express much except for some meaningless remarks.
After all, they were practically forced here. Without Wei Huan, they simply couldn't survive in this sea. And what good would it be once they reached their destination? They couldn't fight, and they couldn't leave. Besides being a companion, they could only provide a little emotional value.
Wei Huan handed the task of dealing with these people to Mu Zhong, and turned to study the destination ahead, the "Shenyong Cave" that made people's scalps tingle just by looking at it.
With the help of the Iron Heart, the divine surge that should have been unpredictable and thrilling became clearly visible, and even the direction of the energy that changed from time to time was clearly marked.
It really saved Wei Huan a lot of trouble.
But it was precisely because he clearly saw the shape of Shen Yong that Wei Huan felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw what was ahead.
In fact, the destination is still far away, but the vortex cluster like a nest of blood can be seen from dozens of miles away.
It seemed that most of the divine surges gathered here and returned to the divine corpse in the shape of a vortex. However, because there were too many vortices, they were crowded together in circles, and they were constantly twisting and wriggling. Just looking at them made people's scalps numb, and they felt dizzy and nauseous.
Going further, it is like the bottom of the sea, an area where only gods are surging. The chariot can no longer move forward, and neither can the challenger.
Perhaps a level six challenger would have a way to deal with it, but now only he and Xia Yu have advanced to Sequence Six. Neither of them is in a profession that charges into battle, so there is no need to consider the possibility of humans entering the Divine Surge.
However, the first step to be solved now is not the problem of entry, but the fact that the war is already at hand.
If you look closely into the depths of those whirlpools, you can see human heads looming inside.
The human challengers whose bodies were occupied were sleeping in the vortex. There was no doubt that once they approached that area, they would become weapons of the enemy to attack their own kind.
The undead army has been summoned, but Wei Huan has been hesitant to take action.
After dealing with the other train captains, Mu Zhong understood: "This battle will not be easy to fight."
"Yeah." Wei Huan nodded. It was indeed very tricky.
Mu Zhong said: "Unless it is proven that they can no longer be rescued, we will remain passive."
"Arrange Xia Yu to be on standby."
"If Xia Yu can't be rescued, I'm afraid we'll be blamed after this battle."
"There's no need to look ahead or behind. History books are written by the victors. If I die on the battlefield one day, I won't know what they're writing about. But as long as I'm alive, no rumors that are unfavorable to us will appear."
"That's not fair to you."
"There's nothing unfair about it. It's the consideration of everything for the sake of fairness that makes us lack the courage to move forward."
"That's right." Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan deeply. "A general is the courage of his soldiers, and soldiers are the prestige of their generals. It is because of you that we are where we are today."
Wei Huan pondered this sentence carefully, feeling that it made a lot of sense, and nodded: "They complement each other, that's how it should be."
When the two talked about this, they smiled at each other.
Then Mu Zhong asked again: "What are you going to do?"
Wei Huan said, "A level 5 bomb can create a 10-meter crater, and a level 6 bomb can create a 100-meter crater. Let's capture a living person first and have Xia Yu investigate. We'll only give them one chance."
Mu nodded: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Disobeying orders and acting on your own is a big taboo in the legion."
As the two were talking, Wei Huan's Ghost Crow had already set off with the Nether Fire Bomb that had been upgraded to level six.
Unfortunately, the Ghost Crow's ability to travel through the void is useless in the face of the divine surge, which is also an invisible energy.
The Ghost Crow is level five, and the Nether Fire Bomb is level six. Under Wei Huan's control, the Ghost Crow flew close to the edge of the Divine Surge's waving tentacles until it reached the end where it could no longer reach. Then, without fear of life or death, it plunged headfirst into the Divine Surge.
At the moment before they were annihilated by the divine surge, the Netherfire bombs in their mouths triggered an explosion, and there was a loud "boom". The divine surge was like the eruption of magma, with slightly sticky strands that led to the blooming of colorful and dazzling flowers.
But Wei Huan frowned.
Because the explosion range of the level 6 bomb was not as he imagined, the damage was not ten times greater. The actual explosion range was only two or three times greater, which was only more than 20 meters but less than 30 meters of damage.
This amount of damage is still too little compared to the huge and boundless undercurrent.
However, it takes Wei Huan three days to make a level six Nether Fire Bomb, and the Nether Power required to charge the level six Nether Fire Bomb also doubles to two thousand.
In other words, the investment did not yield the expected returns.
Thinking about the Whirlpool Mountain that was dozens of kilometers away and the secrets hidden under the mountain, Wei Huan felt a headache.
Before Captain Fang brings the World Tree here, it will probably be difficult for me to break through this level, right?
No, wait, there is another way!!
When Wei Huan thought of that method, he thought it would definitely work, but it was not necessary to use it at the moment, because he still had to try to capture someone to confirm whether he could save him before he could make the next plan.
Therefore, there is no problem with the current rhythm.
Wei Huan didn't show it on his face, but he had already thought a lot in his heart. No one knew the capabilities of the undead army better than him, and he was confident in this battle.
As his thoughts became clear, Wei Huan's action of sending out the Ghost Crows to bomb the undercurrent became firm and smooth.
One after another, the ghost crows flew out, and the exploding netherfire bombs swirled around with the divine surge, but were then restricted by the divine surge, only able to bloom in its own shape. So, to everyone, it looked like a fireworks show of green flames, each one shaped like a vortex.
Beautiful and terrifying.
Without AI analysis, the challenger can tell what kind of terrible things are that twisted the Hellfire Bomb into this shape with just the naked eye and the challenger's perception. At least it is not a place the challenger can set foot in at the moment.
I can only say that following Wei Huan is too exciting. They go to either ruins or restricted areas, and he even wants to try to break into places like this.
Normal people would probably avoid this area first, right? Otherwise, a level five world wouldn't have so many gold-level and above treasure chests, allowing Wei Huan to get so much as a bowl full of it, completely enriching himself.
No one else is qualified to participate in Wei Huan's actions. They can only watch from the sidelines and analyze Wei Huan's strength and situation.
"Record the battle scene. This is the strength of a Sequence Six."
"The Gravekeeper's Sequence Six is the Plague Spreader, but I haven't seen how powerful this sequence is yet."
"Indeed, the Ghost Crow has clearly not become stronger. The Hellfire Bomb should have been upgraded, but it doesn't seem to be performing well in the current environment."
"Will the Gravekeeper's ceiling be very low, after all, he's so strong in the early stages?"
"Don't gloat over our misfortune. Recall the situation we humans faced before Commander Wei appeared. Commander Wei's strength benefits both you and me. After all, with our strength, our ceiling is set and we can't go any stronger. Having a strong man like Commander Wei leading the way is a blessing for humanity. We should abandon the prejudices between nations and, as humans, rethink our relationship with Commander Wei. Then we'll realize what a great man he is."
The last words were spoken by General Kritov to his adjutant.
After accepting his current identity, the general of the Great Bear Country respected Wei Huan more and more, and sincerely hoped that the human race could do better under Wei Huan's leadership.
As for the other chariots, although there were different opinions among them, no one was belittling Wei Huan either.
Your life is in the hands of the other party, why bother to argue at this time?
When Wei Huan was fighting, they chatted, and someone sent a message to Mu Zhong, wanting to send chariots to fight, or participate in the war through the war platform.
But Mu Zhong refused them all.
First of all, they couldn't even see the divine surge, so they attacked as if they hadn't attacked at all.
Besides, only Wei Huan can participate in this battle. Others intervening will only disrupt Wei Huan's rhythm.
Mu Zhong simply said, "Thank you, everyone. I also want to remind you to make sure your chariots have enough energy. If you can't defeat us, you'll have to run away. I hope you can keep up."
Huh? What?! Could I possibly escape? Oh my god, these days are so exciting!
Mu Zhong was not exaggerating. The legions had different responsibilities and natures, so the requirements were naturally different.
If you can't win, just run away and come back to fight next time. It's not like humanity will perish if we don't fight today.
It’s just that their level VII tanks can provide a guarantee at critical moments, but it’s not so clear about others, so they always have to be prepared.
Mu Zhong's reminder made the other drivers nervous. Wei Huan's side exploded more than a hundred Nether Fire bombs in succession, and finally made Shen Yong unable to bear it any longer.
As he expected, a group of "people" flew out from the Whirlpool Mountain like bullets being fired.
There were as many as a thousand of them, appearing suddenly from the void, directly in the underwater world, and then quickly swam along the tentacles of the divine surge until they came to the front end of the tentacles. The tentacles of the divine surge, which were originally waving unconsciously, suddenly seemed to have intelligence, actively attacking Wei Huan's undead, and even cooperating with them.
These people were almost all Pandit's crew members, and Pandit as well.
Pandit was wearing a general's uniform, with epaulettes on his shoulders, a badge on his chest, and his imposing cape, which made him stand out from the crowd at a glance.
But now that he was in Shen Yong's hands, he was no different from the others. He attacked Wei Huan flexibly but with a dull look in his eyes.
The undead who penetrated deep into the undercurrent area were destroyed in an instant.
However, Wei Huan also discovered that once these divine surges were controlled by "humans", although they had the ability to actively fight, their terrifying ability to kill anyone they encountered was also greatly weakened.
It's like switching from defense mode to attack mode.
Several times the undead were swept by the divine surge, but they did not die immediately. The level six undead even held on for a long time before withdrawing under the order of Wei Huan who discovered the abnormality, and they actually managed to keep their "life".
It is not easy to cultivate a sixth-level undead, so the fewer deaths the better.
For a moment, Wei Huan fell in love with Shen Yong's "attack mode".
No wonder the old man said that there must be an antidote within seven steps of the poisonous snake. For him, as long as the undead were not killed instantly, this battle could be won, which was especially suitable for his next plan.
But in the eyes of others, the scene before them was nothing short of demonic.
The lives and deaths of these "controlled" companions are now unknown. They have become weapons of the enemy and are attacking their former companions.
Not only can they swim freely in the sea, but they can also use their own abilities and equipment.
Warriors wielded giant axes to chop the undead, wise men chanted spells to summon water balls, druids transformed into ferocious sharks and swallowed several undead in one gulp, there were even prayers to add blood to them, and dancers danced to ask for blessings from their ancestors.
If you don't look at their dull and lifeless eyes, they look almost alive.
