Chapter 302 Really, two worlds?
What Wei Huan thought of, Mu Zhong naturally thought of as well.
Wei Huan is a necromancer, but all his undead come from the professional temple and are recruited from those large tombs.
Everyone knows that the necromancer controls the undead, and all dead things become undead. Wei Huan can easily feed himself through killing, and he can resurrect as many as die.
But actually it is not.
He had never resurrected any monster's undead in the challenge world, and the souls of humans could not be controlled by him. Even in the confrontation with the dark beasts, the dark beasts had been killed back and forth, but Wei Huan had never been able to capture a soul in his palm.
What's more, as soon as Wei Huan came to this world and fell into this valley, the first thing he felt was the strong power of the underworld.
There has never been such a place and such a feeling in the world of challenge.
Mu Zhong was very smart and thought more carefully and far-sightedly than Wei Huan. Just by looking at the ghost of the one-legged monster in his hand, a thick book of "conspiracy theories" emerged in his mind.
But when he finally raised his head, he restrained himself from expressing his opinion and asked Wei Huan: "Can he be recruited? Can he be resurrected?"
Wei Huan said, "Yes, but if we recruit them directly, they will be in this ghostly state, with less than one or two of their own abilities, and they still need to rely on their physical bodies. But if we send them back to the tomb to be nurtured, they should be able to grow flesh and bones, transform into a walking corpse and return. Depending on the number of ghosts, they will only recover 60% to 70% of their power at most."
"Where did this data come from?" Mu Zhong was a little surprised.
Wei Huan thought about it and hesitated: "Should I say...it's instinct?"
"That's too detailed."
Wei Huan was silent.
"Cough!" Mu Zhong wanted to say something, but he coughed instead.
"Don't rush to treat me, recover yourself first." Wei Huan pressed his hand.
Mu Zhong did not stop, and continued to send the power of nature into Wei Huan's body, and said, "It's dangerous here, the situation is unclear, and your condition is of great importance. Even if I faint again from exhaustion, as long as you are fine, we can all survive. I am not important."
Wei Huan remained silent and took back his hand that was pressing on Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong steadied himself and sat down in a different position. Seeing that he really couldn't sit still, Wei Huan called over the facehuggers and stacked three of them together to make a bone chair for the two of them to lean on.
Mu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief and continued to treat Wei Huan, saying, "The shaman's healing effect is very low. I'm afraid my whole spiritual power can only heal you 70% or 80%. You are seriously injured.
Continuing with the previous topic, you're dressed in diamonds and have god-level equipment, yet in this world, even collisions can cause injuries. What's going on in this world?"
Wei Huan looked into Mu Zhong's eyes and said, "What I bumped into was extraordinary. If it had just fallen to the ground, it wouldn't be like this now.
Also, as you might imagine, we now live in a world with different rules than the world we challenged.
We jumped out and challenged the world.”
Mu Zhong added, "And Blue Star."
After the last sentence was said, the two fell silent again.
This is a very frustrating topic. They have always thought that Blue Star is Blue Star and Challenge World is Challenge World. They go in and out of Challenge World and travel back and forth between Blue Star. It is their ability to travel through time that allows them to travel between the two worlds.
But until they came here, they didn't need to look for it deliberately. The differences that were revealed everywhere had already explained their previous wrong understanding.
Blue Star has been "captured" by the Challenge World.
Blue Star and the Challenge World are not two worlds. Like the Dark Beast Plane, they are actually one world, a world called "Challenge Universe".
Now, because of the World Tree, they have found a passage to the real outside world and have truly come to the outside of the challenge world. Therefore, those digitized equipment are different, and Wei Huan's abilities have also changed significantly here. He can even touch the soul directly.
And challenging the world has no soul.
All, including humans.
It was this reason that gave Wei Huan and Mu Zhong a huge shock. They remained silent for a long time, quietly digesting the truth.
The blue planet they wanted to save had actually fallen a long, long time ago.
They are like a planet swallowed by a black hole called Challenge World. They have been trapped in it and cannot extricate themselves. They can only act according to its rules. All human beings are trying their best to participate in a game called Civilization Competition, thinking that as long as they are strong enough, they can escape.
Is it really possible to escape? What kind of ability is needed to lead the entire blue planet out of the vortex of the black hole?
"At least it's not all bad right now," Mu Zhong said. He lowered his eyes to look at his healing hand, his eyelashes trembling and his lips pale. "If we were just ordinary humans, facing a crisis like today, we would surely die. Regardless of the purpose of challenging the world, it has given us the ability to protect ourselves. That's a fact."
Wei Huan nodded: "Yes, understanding power and mastering power. Although this process is accompanied by cruelty, it is indeed a fact that humans are evolving."
As he spoke, Wei Huan looked at the huge soul that had been dancing, struggling, and wailing before his eyes from the very beginning, and said, "I see an opportunity here. Perhaps it's not a bad thing."
Mu Zhong raised his head, a smile on his face: "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. You and I are together."
After saying this, he remembered and looked at Dou Lin who was unconscious beside him, and continued, "With this little thing, I can explore the truth and grasp the truth. I am already looking forward to it."
Wei Huan nodded and looked deeply at Mu Zhong.
Yes, that's right, as long as they are together, they are not afraid of anything.
…
Mu Zhong used up all his spiritual power to enable Wei Huan to get up and move, but he was so exhausted that he fell asleep after seeing Wei Huan able to move.
After Wei Huan stood up, the first thing he did was to order the undead army to expand outward.
Now his summoning distance has reached 57 kilometers, covering an area of about 100 kilometers. For a while, the undead were howling and filled the field of vision.
And considering that there were monsters coming from underground, Wei Huan temporarily recruited a large group of ghost crows and placed them underground, so that if there was another sneak attack, there would at least be an early warning.
Afterwards, Wei Huan sent the smart elites out, some to collect food and some to collect supplies, such as firewood.
One thing Wei Huan could be sure of was that this was not the challenge world, nor the seventh-level world he had thought it was. Although the monsters looked very similar, their portable space could not be used, and the intelligent AI was no longer intelligent. Their quality of life had returned to its original state, and everything needed to be collected.
And don't expect any treasure chests or anything like that.
Placing different supplies in treasure chests of different levels and sealing the corresponding monsters makes the challenge world completely different from the real world, exuding a weirdness like a digitized game.
Wei Huan thinks that this is normal.
Through their understanding and learning of the laws, they became very powerful and had the ability to fight those monsters, but they could not conjure food out of thin air, and all supplies needed to be collected by themselves.
The elite undead have high IQs and are more than capable of doing these things. They do not require Wei Huan's energy, as Wei Huan has other things to do now.
Ever since he came into this world, a huge undead ghost has been dancing before his eyes.
The rich power of the underworld was like the finest food on the dining table. He looked at the huge undead soul shrouded in black fog and howling miserably. He felt that he would be unworthy of his identity as a gravekeeper if he didn't "eat" it.
However, Wei Huan was a little concerned about the red chains that tied this guy. There were nine of them in total, emerging from deep underground at the edge of the valley, each tying its three heads and six wings.
What Wei Huan could be sure of was that there were originally supposed to be 10 chains. Although he didn't know where else on the bird's body the chains could be tied, it was a fact that one of the red chains sticking out from the edge of the valley was missing.
Wei Huan and the undead he sent out followed the red chain all the way to the depths of the underground, where they found a special magic disk that was hard to tell whether it was artificially refined or created by heaven and earth.
After seeing the Dharma disk, Wei Huan was once again certain that his guess that there should be ten red chains was correct, because a corner of the Dharma disk was broken, and the missing red chain was located in that broken corner.
"So, there's a gigantic undead creature here, over ten miles across?" Mu Zhong woke up again and, upon hearing Wei Huan's words, a look of understanding crossed his face. "No wonder this valley feels so depressing and eerie. It seems these bones are the body of this giant bird, right?"
Wei Huan was a little curious: "Why is it so eerie and depressing? Even if you use your power, you can't see this undead ghost?"
Mu Zhong took another closer look, his eyes focused with natural force. After a thorough inspection, he shook his head, "I truly can't see it. Observing the undead is naturally a unique ability of a necromancer. As for the eerie and oppressive feeling..." Mu Zhong thought carefully and said, "The difference is obvious. Your undead also gives people a more eerie and terrifying feeling, but it's different. I find it difficult to describe whether it's the different laws of the two worlds that cause the different feelings, or whether you and your undead are already very familiar to me. If I must describe it, this place is rejecting me, even attacking me. It's full of malice and exudes a murderous aura that reeks of blood."
After hearing this, Wei Huan suddenly remembered something and his eyes fell on Dou Lin: "He has been unconscious for a whole day and night and still hasn't woken up. Is it because of the environment here?"
"Maybe." Mu Zhong looked at Dou Lin as if he had thought of something and hesitated to speak.
Wei Huan said, "I don't know about the others. Everything happened so fast. I only had time to save you, and Dou Lin saved himself."
Mu Zhong looked gloomy, knowing that the other people who had been with him before were probably in danger, but he could not blame anyone. No matter how powerful Wei Huan was, he had his limits. Facing this sudden change, he had done his best.
Looking up again, Mu Zhong smiled. "Perhaps they've already gone back. Let's solve the current problem first and leave here. This place is not suitable for recuperation, and you must be hungry after not eating for a day. Leave your daily necessities to me. I tried it, and the pilot's creative ability is still there. Although it's a little difficult to display, it should be enough to deal with the urgent situation at hand."
Wei Huan nodded, pinching the bridge of his nose, trying to ignore the fatigue. Although Mu Zhong was awake, it was not the time to relax yet. The ghost bird's chains had broken, and there was no telling when it would break free. Letting such a tonic escape would be a grave mistake. He had to eat it before he could feel at ease.
However, the most urgent thing at the moment is to leave this valley first and stay away from the dense power of the underworld. This will help Mu Zhong and Dou Lin's injuries heal faster.
They are different from me. I can rely on the power of the underworld to heal myself, but they will only make things worse.
Under Wei Huan's command, Dianma moved slowly and steadily, and the entire undead army was also moving in one direction.
Wei Huan deliberately avoided the direction of the giant ape and the fire bull-tiger beast. He was not afraid of them, but he didn't want to have any more conflicts. At least he had to wait until he finished his current business before looking for them.
Moreover, Wei Huan also tried to use the soul of this one-legged monster to see if there would be any more practical benefits from killing the monsters in this world.
Not long after, they left the valley. When they walked out of the valley, Wei Huan didn't know that thousands of miles away there was a group of monsters with peaceful aura but unparalleled strength. They looked over again as if they had sensed something.
But unlike the ferocious monsters Wei Huan had seen, they did not rush over, but held back, as if waiting for something, and at the same time looked in the same direction.
At the end of their sight, there was a broken mountain.
Just looking at the size of the mountain root, it is a hundred times larger than the surrounding mountains. This broken mountain may have once been the highest mountain in the world.
But now it was broken in half, and the cross section was smooth, as if it had been cut horizontally by a sword, or like an eighth-level weapon on a chariot. If Wei Huan saw it with his own eyes, he would definitely be full of imagination.
Today, a huge nest has been built on the platform using grass, wood, sand and gravel. Although it is completely different from the style of humans, you can still see the majestic style it wants to present. The shape of the nest even has a wild and unrestrained beauty.
At this moment, all the monsters nearby focused their attention here. After a long time, a group of white horses with wings flew out from their nests. They flapped their wings and flew towards the direction where Wei Huan was.
As Pegasus set off, the monsters around him became agitated and did not calm down for a long time.
…
Mu Zhong was looking through the corpse of a monster that had been killed by the undead not long ago and was now being transported here by the undead to be eaten. His brows were tightly furrowed.
Firstly, I haven't seen a corpse for some time, and for a moment I couldn't stand the strong smell of blood.
Secondly, it was because he couldn't tell which of these monsters were edible and which were not.
"...The Iron Heart's database contains no information on these monsters. We need to collect samples for testing. Its data on this world is truly blank, which proves that we have left the Challenge Universe."
Mu Zhong removed a small piece of hair and flesh from the monster and placed it into the cube floating on his shoulder. The test results came out easily. "This one can't be eaten, it's highly poisonous. This one is edible, but it tastes sour and bitter. This Iron Heart is said to be edible. Tsk tsk, appearances really can't be judged. This one is the ugliest of the bunch, but I didn't expect it to be the only edible, and delicious one at that."
Mu Zhong dug out a few monsters that looked like big mosquitoes from the pile of corpses, and jumped onto Dian Ma's back shell by their feet.
The spot where the black spot had been was now burning with a fierce flame. Mu Zhong glanced at Wei Huan, who was sitting on the edge of the carapace, still gazing at the valley, and said, "They say these legs are edible, but there's nothing else to eat right now, so we'll just have to roast them."
Mu Zhong had no tools and could only rely on brute force to tear it apart. The scene was extremely bloody for a while, but he was not a person who could not do housework. He handled the whole process without changing his expression and was quite elegant and smooth.
Wei Huan listened throughout but did not look back. The magic disk buried deep underground had been dug out by the facehugger after this period of time.
Ten thousand meters underground, there is an underground cave no smaller than this valley. Countless face huggers are crawling around in it. They have moved away all the sand and gravel that can be moved, revealing the full appearance of the Dharma Plate.
In fact, it seems that this magic disk is more like a naturally formed divine object that has taken the fortune of heaven and earth. It looks like an ordinary flat round stone, but it can lock the soul of such a ferocious three-headed bird monster. Wei Huan really can't bear to destroy it.
This magic disk reminded Wei Huan of the "Book of Death" he had obtained. It was also an ordinary book. Before using it, it looked no different from any other book on the table. But after holding it, Wei Huan possessed the power to control darkness, and recruiting the undead became much easier.
The word "true" in the prefix of the Book of Death also bothered Wei Huan for a long time.
Is it possible that if I can obtain this magic disk and bring it back to the Challenge Universe, when the system gives it a name, there will also be a word "true" in front of it?
In short, Wei Huan wanted to get both the bird ghost and the magic disk, so he took the trouble to hollow out the ground, just to see if he could take this thing away through physical means.
It was not until now that Wei Huan realized that although humans were arranged to evolve by the challenge world and gained powerful strength, they still knew too little about this world. He might not even be able to take away magical items like the magic disk.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Zhong asked while looking at Wei Huan's profile as he handed the mosquito leg to him.
Wei Huan casually took the barbecue and put it into his mouth. He was stunned after taking a bite, and finally regained his attention. "What is this?"
Mu Zhong's gaze fell on his left eye, which was burning with green flames. He casually said, "Monster meat tastes good, even better than roasted chicken." Then he asked curiously, "Are you going to take the magic plate underground?"
Wei Huan was indeed hungry. He took big bites of the food and swallowed it whole before saying, "This is the only way."
Mu Zhong said, "Although Iron Heart has no information about this world, it can still recognize basic substances. After dinner, I plan to go find some materials. We need to make a condenser and a recuperation cabin. Dou Lin needs some liquid food. In addition, I also want to see if I can build a space warehouse and take away the magic disk you mentioned."
Wei Huan nodded, this was the only way.
Dou Lin is unconscious and needs to drink water. Saving him is more important than anything else.
"Let's go."
"You don't have to move." Mu Zhong said, "You stay here and continue to think about how to capture the bird ghost. Besides, Dou Lin is really not suitable to move now. You arrange for the undead to obey my orders. I will search for materials within your summoning range and it will be safe."
Wei Huan glanced at Dou Lin and finally nodded: "Go, I will arrange for the undead to obey your command."
As he said this, the dog appeared with a "呓~" sound, came to Dian Ma's side, put his back shell against hers, and waited for Mu Zhong to step on him.
The dog now has sufficient inventory. It alone controls nearly 100,000 earth beasts. In addition, after the advancement of Dian Ma, she awakened the defensive air bubbles and face hugger bombs for the whole clan, which are enough for both attack and defense.
But in addition to this, Wei Huan also arranged 300 two-headed hidden demons to follow Mu Zhong to protect him, and repeatedly confirmed that he would only move within the coverage area of his own undead before letting him set off.
After looking at Mu Zhong who was walking away and the three-headed Demon Eye Lord floating above his head for a long time, Wei Huan turned his attention back to the magic plate deep underground.
This magic disk was the size of a football field, and without a space warehouse, it would be difficult to take it away. Since he wanted this thing, he had no choice but to let Mu Zhong go there.
Before Mu Zhong came back, what he needed to do was to take the bird ghost off the magic plate. Although he had never tried it, he knew that the space equipment could not accommodate a spiritual body.
Just standing there and watching was no solution, so Wei Huan asked Dian Ma to move forward a little, and the protective shield came to the bird ghost in the valley again. Then he left Dian Ma's back shell, leaving it to protect Dou Lin far away from the valley, and he walked in with some of the undead.
As soon as he entered the valley, the power of the underworld reappeared. Wei Huan sensed the difference in the power of the underworld, and then discovered that what he had always thought was irritability was actually a kind of activity.
Compared with the undead in the tomb, it is like one has been tamed and trained, allowing him to recruit at will, while the other is wild and unruly, difficult to tame, and there is even the possibility of recruitment failure.
Wei Huan stood on the back of his grandson, looking up at the extremely huge ghost from a close distance. He summoned the Thought Beast to possess it, and with raging black flames all around him, he left the protective shield.
After leaving Dian Ma's protective shield, he did not order his grandchildren to open the shield again, but for the first time, he truly felt the world.
The most obvious thing is the power of the underworld, which is like a biting cold wind blowing on the face, penetrating into the skin, twisting into the nerves, and even freezing the soul.
The protective shield had previously blocked this part of the power, so Wei Huan didn't have a very clear feeling about it. He only knew that others had said that fighting with the undead would feel cold and gloomy. As a necromancer, he had never felt what coldness was.
But now he knows.
Wei Huan looked solemn.
Even he could feel the chill, which showed that the bird ghost's netherworld power was so strong that even if he wanted to surrender, he would have to take some risks.
But you can't just give up just because you feel something is wrong, right?
How could you possibly give up such a delicious and tasty tonic?
Wei Huan raised his hand and used the Hand of the Undead for the first time on any being other than his own undead.
Like tentacles, white smoke emerged from the dimensional space, then, depending on Wei Huan's wishes, either remained as it was or transformed into a hand. The fingers of the hand stretched out, and a new hand emerged, like a cluster of flowers that continued to grow and bloom. However, the hand was not beautiful, but rather had a sense of distortion.
