Chapter 312 Shaman: Totem
Wei Huan listened to what the two of them said without saying a word.
He clenched and unclenched his fists, closed and opened his eyes, and finally suppressed his adventurous urge.
No, we must not act impulsively. The situation on the other side is unclear, and it is a fact that the enemy is strong. It is definitely not a good thing to chase after them rashly.
Besides, thinking about it from another perspective, it is not a bad thing for me to come into contact with these advanced races now.
Not only did he get first-hand intelligence, but he also had enough time to grow.
If we ignore the significance of human evolution, if I stay in the challenging world for a few hundred years, until the entire human race becomes extremely powerful, and then advance into the ninth-level world together, wouldn't the chance of winning be greater?
Although there is no real example to prove that the higher the level of cultivation, the longer the lifespan, but looking at those who first challenged the world, who looked as if they were frozen in time, we can know that in this evolution, the human race is changing from "short-lived" to "immortal."
It should be no problem to spend a few hundred years.
Wei Huan's heart completely calmed down. He closed his eyes and opened them again, saying, "Destroy this passage. Completely, leaving no trace."
Yes, we can’t go through. Not only can we not go through, we will also destroy this passage so that the Monster King can never come back.
From today on, this world will be the "paradise" for the human race!
…
Wei Huan collected the soul of the nine-tailed fox and had it devoured by the legendary heroic Lord of the Demon Eye, and naturally obtained his third pseudo-god-level undead.
In addition, when he killed the nine-tailed fox, he also killed the monster underground. After catching the monster, Wei Huan was not surprised to see the appearance of its soul.
It was indeed the shadow dragon hidden underground that I met in the Bird Ghost Valley when I first came to this world.
This dragon has the ability to burrow into the earth, and he just happened to be short of an undead soldier with that ability. After checking around, he finally gave it to his mother, and thus the facehugger clan had the ability to move freely in the mud.
It’s a pity that Dian Ma is already at the pseudo-god level, and even after eating this big monster, she didn’t make any obvious progress.
Dian Ma's upgrade method is very special. It can only become stronger by strengthening its own tribe. The improvement of its strength is not so much an evolution of itself as it is the strength of its tribe that brings it advancement in its position.
Let’s take the simplest example.
When it has 40 tribes that recognize it as queen, it becomes the class queen. When it has a city with over a million tribes, it becomes the city queen. When it has tens of billions of tribes, it becomes the planet queen.
The pseudo-god level has already embarked on the road to becoming the queen of half a planet, but its troops are still far from enough, so no matter how many rare treasures it eats now, it is useless. Due to the limitations of basic conditions, it cannot be upgraded.
However, Wei Huan was not disappointed, or he had guessed this would happen from the beginning.
So when Dian Ma mastered the Shadow Dragon's earth escape method by eating according to his requirements, she had completely met his requirements.
After absorbing the souls of the two great monsters, Wei Huan did not stop his conquest. He chased the bull monster all the way, killed it, and fed it to the big bear.
Therefore, we have the fourth pseudo-god-level super meat shield.
The last words of the demon beast king before he left that day made Wei Huan's sense of crisis rise to the peak again.
What is the battlefield of all races, what is the celestial demon race, and what is the human race struggling to survive on that battlefield?
Although I don’t know where these human beings are, I think that in this vast universe and endless dimensions, they are definitely not the only human race that exists.
These human beings were chosen to challenge the civilization and participated in this cruel challenge. However, they seemed to have lost miserably and were completely unreliable.
Even though Wei Huan had never thought of relying on other races, the feeling was still terrible.
Without support, the road ahead is long, and we can only work hard and fight hard!
So after killing the bull monster, Wei Huan returned to the battlefield on the plains where corpses were scattered everywhere. He stayed there for a full ten days, capturing the souls of countless monsters that died on the battlefield. Except for the extremely special ones, he scattered all the others into the tomb.
After the soul of the last monster was blown apart, Wei Huan had obtained five enhanced tombs.
Especially the Newborn Tomb, the power of the Netherworld was so strong that Wei Huan felt as if he had an epiphany and fell into the depths of the Netherworld, where he saw the source of the Netherworld sleeping like a giant in the universe.
This ray of true source brought about a qualitative change in the newly born tomb. Not only did it make the indigenous residents of the tomb stronger, basically reaching the same level of strength, but the most important thing was that new undead began to appear in the tomb.
The discovery was an accident.
The chariot that Wei Huan was riding in had been staying on this plain littered with corpses for ten days. The monstrous demonic energy and the aura of the underworld were entangled in the battlefield for a long time. Not to mention ordinary animals, even those of lower levels could not enter.
The magnetic field here is chaotic, and there are ghosts at work. It is like a forbidden area and cannot be entered.
But even so, this place is also a treasure trove.
So many corpses of monsters, and the treasures they might carry with them, are a fatal attraction to other monsters.
So some powerful and greedy monsters, after wandering outside the battlefield for a long time, finally couldn't help but step into the battlefield.
It just so happened that he was killed by Wei Huan, who had just upgraded the quality of the Newborn Tomb.
As a result, the soul of this monster, which should be a two-headed monster like a greedy wolf, appeared directly in Wei Huan's newborn tomb.
It had no consciousness and no memory, just floating in the tomb like a wandering soul. When Wei Huan found it, its soul was nourished by the netherworld power in the tomb, and a thin spine had grown from the center of its soul.
With a spine, it will have ribs, leg bones, and a skull. It will become stronger until it finally becomes the running wolf that Wei Huan is familiar with.
Maybe it's the running wolf?
Or some other undead spirit?
In short, this is the first time that undead beyond the specified number have appeared in Wei Huan’s tomb, which is of great significance.
Wei Huan observed its subsequent changes with great interest.
At the same time, we have an accurate understanding of the qualitative changes of this newly born tomb.
If someone had given him a fruit tree full of fruits, he could pick the fruits from the tree at will, but because there was only one fruit tree, he could only get more fruits by getting more fruit trees.
So from today on, one of its fruit trees has finally grown roots and can be planted in the ground. From now on, it will no longer rely solely on fruit trees given by others, but will have the ability to be self-sufficient and bear fruit continuously.
The benefits this qualitative change brings to Wei Huan are endless.
If you rely on gifts from others and walk on the road paved by others, you will never be able to surpass your predecessors.
Even Mu Zhong said, "I wonder if our human race's professional temples came from the Challenge World or from those humans who are said to have reached the end. Look at the suffixes on our high-level equipment, which are blessings from "Stars," "Great Magician," and "Titan." Is it possible that these equipment were given to us by other humans? Even though they are so powerful, they still do not have an advantage in the battlefield of all races. If we follow in their footsteps, we will repeat their mistakes. Therefore, the only way to survive is to forge our own path."
Finally, Mu Zhong said, "True weapons and true martial arts are the only hope for survival."
The few words revealed by the demon tribe that day put enormous pressure on Wei Huan and others.
Ten days later, Wei Huan officially moved into the Broken Mountain Palace. The chaotic magnetic field on the plain battlefield became a natural dangerous place. He also released his undead to guard the safety of this headquarters.
The others were sent out to seek opportunities to become stronger.
Maybe it's killing monsters, or looking for some rare treasures. In short, this world has made great progress for human challengers, and there is progress every day.
Wei Huan lived in the Broken Mountain, firmly occupying the holy land of this world. While practicing himself, he accompanied Mu Zhong to the back mountain to feel the power of nature.
The battle took place on the east side of Broken Mountain, radiating to the north and south, but the west side, known as the back mountain, was not affected at all and still retained its original appearance, full of spiritual energy, lush vegetation, and some harmless small animals deliberately placed by Wei Huan living in it, making it a rare paradise in this world.
Mu Zhong walks barefoot on this land every day, feeling the breath of every blade of grass and tree. Although he still has no idea of his "true self" for the time being, the natural power here is pure, which is very good for Mu Zhong's practice.
That day, Wei Huan accompanied Mu Zhong for a walk outside for a long time. Mu Zhong discovered some spiritual wood and said he wanted to stop practicing.
Wei Huan accompanied him and also entered the professional temple to practice.
When the training time was up, Wei Huan woke up slowly and found that Mu Zhong was still in the same place without moving, but there was a pile of wood around him.
Because of their intelligence and absolute loyalty, the great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren were sent by Wei Huan to obey Mu Zhong's orders. Now they were carrying a spiritual tree and became lumberjacks.
Wei Huan stood up and walked around the fallen wood towards Mu Zhong, but the more he looked, the more frightened he became.
"These woods..." Wei Huan said.
Without even looking up, Mu Zhong said, "Totems. Every time I cast a blessing, totems appear in the shadows of the sky. I tried carving these totems, and I discovered that different laws and powers appeared. If a totem is made of spiritual wood, the effect cannot be underestimated."
Wei Huan didn't say anything, he just squatted down and picked up the totem with the most spiritual power at his feet. As soon as he picked it up, a sacred light flashed, his hand trembled slightly, and the totem fell to the ground.
Then he looked at the blood dripping from the wound on his finger and raised his eyebrows, asking Mu Zhong: "Is this a sacred healing totem?"
Mu Zhong hummed "hmm", then quickly looked up as if thinking of something, and saw Wei Huan putting his finger on his lips and sucking it silently. He quickly put down the half-carved totem in his hand and walked in front of Wei Huan.
The hand was taken out, and a two-centimeter bloody wound appeared on the finger, which looked quite serious. The wound was very deep, and blood was gushing out from the turned-out flesh.
Wei Huan said: "It's okay, this little injury will heal quickly with the power of nature."
Mu Zhong was indeed using the power of nature to help Wei Huan heal, but his distracted head looked around until he saw a place and shouted, "Zhong Zhong, give me that totem."
The red facehugger came over with a thud, looked at the direction Mu Zhong was pointing, then looked at the totems all over the ground, and finally used its small pincers to accurately pick up a totem the length of a palm.
"Thank you." Mu Zhong took the totem, handed it to Wei Huan and said, "Here you go."
Wei Huan took it and said, "Heavy?"
Mu Zhong said, "Its mother's name is Xiao Zhong, and it's called Chong Zhong. You can't call them great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren every day, right?"
Wei Huan said, "Heavy."
Mu Zhong was stunned for two seconds, and his ears suddenly felt hot. "No, I'll give it the name Chong Chong from now on, so please don't call it that."
"What should I call you then?"
"You never call me by that name, but now you're making a fuss about it."
"What belongs to me but I don't want to use it and what I can't use it are two different concepts."
"Are you sick?" Mu Zhong slapped Wei Huan's palm. "Are you jealous of your summoned beast?"
Wei Huan smiled in pain, looked down, and saw that the wound had healed.
Clearly, Mu Zhong hadn't used the power of nature since the conversation began. Could it be that the healed wound was...
Wei Huan looked at the totem in his other hand.
This totem was obviously newly carved, but it seemed to have existed for many years. It was withered, ancient, and a little eerie.
The image was engraved with a woman's face, using very simple lines and without any embellishment, but Wei Huan could tell at a glance that it was the face of Agris.
"This is..." Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong, "You can borrow power from the sculptor? That's not it?"
Mu Zhong pulled out a thumb-sized totem from his chest pocket, handed it to Wei Huan, and said, "Indeed, you are very fierce."
Wei Huan took the totem and felt a familiar and intimate Netherworld power. This Netherworld power was extremely pure and rich, just as if Mu Zhong had scooped up a ladle of Netherworld from the depths of his initial tomb and poured it into the totem.
"See if it looks like you?" Mu Zhong asked expectantly.
Wei Huan looked at the small totem carefully again. Compared with the totem of Agris, this totem was much more delicate. Not only him, but also the figures of leader-level heroes such as Dian Ma, Big Bear, and Crow Sister were depicted on it. It looked like it was carved with just a few strokes, but it was extremely lifelike.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this delicacy that the power of this totem was much stronger than that of Agris, forcing Mu Zhong to carefully wrap it with the power of nature so that he could keep it close to his body, otherwise he would be harmed by the rich power of the underworld.
This is also the reason why Mu Zhong said he was "fierce".
Wei Huan said: "Is this totem the true self you have found?"
Mu Zhong said, "It should be said that I gained this ability after fusing the Shaman's abilities with those of a pilot, a power that perhaps only I can possess."
As he said this, Mu Zhong raised his hand, and the ability of the driver sequence appeared in the palm of his hand. Everything could be rubbed, and his palm was the most complete tool in the world. His fingers just lightly passed through the air, and the wood in his hand showed traces of knife and axe marks.
Mu Zhong said as he demonstrated, "Using the hands-on skills of a driver to carve a shaman totem has allowed me to successfully integrate the two professions.
These totems can not only enhance my abilities, but can also be carried by others.
In addition, the strength of the totem comes from my understanding of the opponent. The more I understand, the greater the power I can obtain. The more carefully I carve, the more core of the opponent's skills I can touch.
This totem in your hand is the one I spent the most energy to create. You can already feel its power, right? But this isn't the limit. I can carve it even more meticulously, and even inlay energy gems on it. If the carrier material is good enough, I think I can create a magical artifact this way."
Wei Huan pondered for two seconds, then said, "The carrier doesn't have to be spiritual wood. The black dragon's bones might also be used."
Mu Zhong smiled, "You're really smart, and you can quickly draw inferences from one instance. But don't underestimate spiritual wood. As plants, they contain the power of nature. Even if their own grade is not high, they are very inclusive. The black dragon's bones can indeed be made into a totem, but due to the influence of the technique, I'm afraid it can only be made into a thunder totem."
Wei Huan nodded, looked at Mu Zhong deeply and said, "The path you found is not the strongest, but it is the path that will benefit mankind the most. You must help them all the way to the end."
Mu Zhong said, "I'm just a support. If we talk about fighting power, don't you still have it?"
Wei Huan held Mu Zhong's hand and said, "I will always be by your side."
Mu Zhong smiled: "Of course we have to be together all the time. Let's go to the ninth level world together and go to the royal battlefield together. No matter whether it is dangerous or not, I will be there wherever you go."
"Yeah." Wei Huan nodded.
It was naturally a good thing that Mu Zhong found his "true self". Wei Huan then accompanied Mu Zhong to find materials and make totems.
The quality of the totem is directly related to its material.
When Wei Huan was cleaning the battlefield a few days ago, he also condensed more than ten Netherworld Stones. Each one was almost the size of a fist and was extremely full of energy.
Mu Zhong has been looking for materials that can accommodate this Netherworld Stone these days.
Although the materials were not found, the news came that the pioneering army had arrived in this small world.
Wei Huan has been in constant contact with the sixth-level world, and the pioneering army has also sent 12 fully occupied vehicles to escort and assist Wei Huan in suppressing the indigenous people of this world.
Wei Huan was not in a hurry to go to the next world. When he learned that the crisis ahead was even more serious, he just wanted to develop steadily, stay in each stage long enough, consolidate again and again, and then take the next step.
He also hopes that the entire human race will do the same.
If the world's resources are not fully developed, he would not be named Wei.
In addition, he was also thinking about the dark beasts. The dark beast plane was already in his pocket. Now he had to find a way to build a fixed passage to facilitate large troops to enter and mine.
The resources of this world cannot be taken by him alone, it would be a waste.
Wei Huan was concerned about these two resources, thinking they were the only ones there. Unexpectedly, a new batch of pioneers arrived with news: "Commander Wei, General Mu asked me to inform you that the roots of the World Tree have penetrated the divine corpse, exuding a thick Netherworld aura. Although it has no immediate impact on us, General Mu is a little worried. He sent several groups there, but none of them were able to pass through the Netherworld aura barrier. So, I'd like to ask you to go back and take a look."
Wei Huan later said to Mu Zhong, "I forgot that there is a resource right under our feet."
"You mean the divine corpse? The divine corpse is the cornerstone of this world."
Wei Huan said, "If there is a divine corpse, there must be divine bones. Divine bones that can emit the aura of the underworld must be the material we have been looking for."
Mu nodded. "Indeed, if I take a piece of divine bone and combine it with the Nether Stone, I can definitely make the strongest Nether Totem."
"Then go back?"
"Okay, go back."
Mu Zhong agreed readily. He would go wherever Wei Huan was, and Wei Huan would not let him stay alone.
However, before leaving, Wei Huan sent out the undead army to sweep around the garrison to prevent any accidents from happening while he was away.
In addition, before leaving, Mu Zhong wholesaled a bunch of Netherworld Totems, which had no practical function but emitted Netherworld aura. He arranged for people to bury them on the border of the Holy Mountain to deter monsters.
After completing these preparations, Wei Huan took Hammer Brother's chariot back to the sixth-level world. Big Foot and his gambler team were left behind. There are opportunities everywhere here, and leaving for a day is a loss. This time, Wei Huan will not only come back as soon as possible, but also drive his own chariot over to let Xu Qingqiang and Captain Xue strengthen themselves.
It took them four days to get here, but only one day to get back to the valley of the bird ghost.
Unexpectedly, a simple base was built here. A group of pilots came here with materials on their backs and built the base by hand based on the ground environment. There were also many unmanned mechas flying and patrolling around.
These mechas all came from Mu Zhong's "Steel Factory" and are now all level five, which is enough to serve as base guards.
Seeing Wei Huan return, the head of the base came out to greet them and led them to the teleportation gate. Pointing to the gate under construction, he said, "We are trying to imitate the boundary gate. Although it is very difficult, we are conquering it bit by bit. Now that the boundary gate is not yet completed, we need the fortune teller's star chain to guide the way. This time, we have arranged three fortune teller teams to reinforce the star chain every day. When you pass through later, just follow the star chain."
Mu Zhong asked, "What will happen outside Starlink?"
The base leader said, "You might encounter spacetime turbulence and spacetime mazes. The boundary gate is the most stable space channel. Commander Wei, General Mu, rest assured. We have reinforced the starlink to make it very strong. Unless you encounter a space storm, we have observed that space has been stable recently, so your travel is safe."
Mu Zhong then asked some more questions, including how they would respond if a space storm occurred.
The person in charge of this base knows a lot and answers questions fluently.
Mu Zhong repeatedly confirmed the safety and mastered the survival methods before deciding to set off.
The one that passed through the gate was Hammer Brother's level 6 chariot, with Wei Huan and Mu Zhong inside.
There were four escort vehicles following behind, one level six and three level five. The protective shields of all of them were level six, so that they could withstand space storms in the event of an accident.
Mu Zhong made many risk plans, but the process of passing through the space channel was extremely smooth, without any trouble, and he returned to the sixth-level world.
They appeared at the top of the World Tree.
The World Tree is so big that each leaf is like an island. The whole tree seems to be as big as the world, standing between heaven and earth, with its branches growing endlessly.
A base had been built on a leaf beneath the passage. This base was nearly complete, housing not only maintenance personnel but also a regiment of soldiers stationed there to prevent any possible attacks from the demonic beasts of the small world.
Of course, this blessed land is a military stronghold, and we must also prevent the appearance of stowaways from the human side.
When they returned, a large group of people were already waiting in front of the base. They didn't know how long they had been waiting. They lined up in an orderly manner and watched them slowly descend.
