Chapter 320 Ancient Gods
Initially, the two undead were struggling. Later, Sister Crow slowed down, flew above the Demon Eye Lord, and enveloped him in the Netherworld. With the power of the Netherworld, the Demon Eye Lord not only sped up, but his nine muscle tails transformed into an illusion of nothingness, enveloping Sister Crow and weakening the wind.
Without Wei Huan's orders, the two undead knew how to cooperate with each other and move forward. Their IQ improved a lot, and they also had the ability to act independently.
It seems that the pseudo-god level is indeed a special level. The change in the level of life also leads to "enlightenment".
This kind of evolution is not a bad thing. At least Mo Ji has proved that no matter how smart and wise they are, deep in their souls, they still rely on him, are controlled by him, and regard his orders as everything.
Wei Huan was very happy to feel the wisdom displayed by the two undead. He let them try to cooperate more tacitly. At the same time, Wei Huan's eyes fell on the Lord of the Demon Eye and looked at the mountain again.
The mountain is extremely tall and pine, and abnormally steep, as if it was carved by a god, with a smooth and firm texture.
There are no plants on the mountain, let alone any living creatures. Instead, there are many bent mountains at the foot of the mountain. Some of them are even bent and sticking to the ground, but there is no sign of breakage. Their toughness is too strong.
By maximizing the vision of the Lord of the Demon Eye, Wei Huan finally understood where the wind came from.
Just below the Tianzhu Twin Mountains, there are many deep pits among these curved mountains, and the strong winds are gushing out from these deep pits.
Wei Huan wanted to look into the deep pit, but suddenly he felt dizzy. He withdrew his gaze, a little surprised.
Obviously, those deep pits were very unusual. With his current strength, he could feel "dizzy". This was not real dizziness, but an attack from some kind of energy.
My eyes slid down from the Tianzhu Twin Mountains to the foot of the mountain. These wind holes surrounded the mountains. I'm afraid the first step to approaching the mountains is to deal with these wind holes.
After walking forward for a while, the sunlight had already set behind the mountain, and the sky and the earth became much darker. Wei Huan and others finally approached the nearest wind hole.
Looking closer, I found that the outermost wind hole should be the smallest, but it is also ridiculously large, about three kilometers wide, and is a standard circle.
The wind hole doesn't have any other killing power, it just blew out huge winds. At this distance, even Dianma's protective shield had some fluctuations, which shows how strong the wind is.
Wei Huan stared at the wind hole for a long time, then looked at Mu Zhong, his gaze falling on the cube on his shoulder.
Mu Zhong shook his head.
Wei Huan frowned slightly. They had already come this far, but there was still no new clue. Did they need to go further inside?
Between the two options of going deep into the wind hole and getting close to the mountains, Wei Huan decided to go to the mountains first.
The underground vision is unclear and they don’t know what’s going on. The mountain is right in front of them. If anything unexpected happens, they just need to release their strength and escape with the wind.
"I agree."
"I agree."
"Boss, just make the decision. Don't ask us. We will follow you wherever you go and never leave you."
Wei Huan nodded and ordered Dian Ma to go around the wind hole in front and continue towards the mountains.
When we got here, the atmosphere was actually quite depressing and everyone was a little nervous. The environment here was really uncomfortable.
Huge and endless wind holes are spread all over the ground like an abyss, occasionally interspersed with many bent and prostrate Wolf Tooth Mountains. The black color has no living creatures. Apart from the hideous shape, there is this boundless hurricane. It is really not a place where humans should stay for a long time.
The most important thing is that when they stare at the wind hole, they will feel a bone-chilling fear, as if their souls are being pulled in, making them extremely uncomfortable.
Just like Wei Huan’s idea, with the current abilities of each of them, they would not easily feel fear.
You have to trust your intuition. Anything that makes them feel "difficult to deal with" must be handled with caution.
Wei Huan ordered Dian Ma to avoid the wind holes and move forward along the edge. Fortunately, the wind was weaker at the edge, but the person had to go around in circles and could not increase his speed.
Just like that, before we knew it, it was dark.
But to their eyes, the night is as bright as the day, and they don't care whether it is day or night.
Gradually, midnight approached, and before we knew it, we were almost reaching the mountain.
As we got closer, we felt it was even bigger and more majestic. The mountains in the monster world were already big enough, but this mountain was not even one percent as big as this one. It towered into the clouds like a pillar of heaven, no wonder it was called the Twin Pillars of Heaven Mountains.
"We've been walking all night and are finally almost there," Mu Zhong said, standing beside Wei Huan. "I thought the wind would be stronger as we got closer to the foot of the mountain, but it's actually much weaker as long as we avoid the wind holes. I see the protective shield hasn't moved at all, so it's very safe."
Wei Huan nodded: "Iron Heart has not given any hints on the next step. I'm afraid we will have to run into this mountain before we can do anything."
"It's almost time. We should be able to reach the mountain before 12 o'clock." Mu Zhong glanced at the time.
Wei Huan also looked at the time. It was less than ten minutes until midnight and the mountain was already within reach.
Seven minutes later, Dianma finally floated in front of the cliff of the mountain.
The wind here should not be strong, but Wei Huan and others did not leave the protective shield easily. He sent out the big bear with the strongest defense to see if he could dig something down from the mountain.
The big bear has not had any tasks recently. He has been nourished in the original tomb every day and has become fat and strong. His thick black fur is draped on his body like armor. His body is 20 meters in size, and this is his smallest form. With a pair of horns on his head facing forward, he looks very tough.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The big bear roared, retreated, took a running start, and leaped suddenly. It rushed out of the protective shield and pounced on the dark mountain in front.
Wei Huan and others opened their eyes wide in anticipation and couldn't help holding their breath. No one noticed that time passed quietly and it was midnight, which was exactly 12 o'clock.
When the time came, the strong wind that was gushing out of the wind hole disappeared instantly, and then the fallen mountains slowly straightened up bit by bit. This feeling was extremely strange. After all, they were mountains, towering and motionless mountains. They swayed like something extremely flexible, such as - "hair".
Captain Xue and others who were in charge of the alert were curious about the progress ahead, but they still paid close attention to the movements around them diligently. Later, they saw this change with their own eyes.
"Boss!" Captain Xue spoke hurriedly, reminding Wei Huan.
Wei Huan turned his head and looked over. Without Captain Xue saying anything, he noticed something unusual. He was puzzled and wanted to say something when suddenly, the "mountains" that were slowly rising suddenly lowered down at a faster speed than before.
Wei Huan's expression changed drastically, and he just opened his mouth: "Little..."
But before they could say more, the car they were riding in suddenly lost control and plunged towards the nearest wind vent.
It feels like you've been using all your strength to walk against the wind, fighting the wind in front of you, but suddenly the wind direction changes, the wind comes from behind, and you fall forward because you used the wrong strength.
The same thing happened to Dian Ma, she fell.
Wei Huan and others lost control of themselves and followed Dian Ma into the abyss, falling, falling, and falling, as if they were riding an elevator at the speed of light, heading straight to the center of the earth.
“Hey!!”
Dian Ma tried to resist, but it was useless.
Wei Huan held Mu Zhong's hand tightly, resisting the force of the stalled fall, until black flames rose around him, and he finally gained control of himself.
Then he chanted silently in his heart, and Dian Ma suddenly became bigger and bigger, and in a blink of an eye it was tens of thousands of feet high. He tried to use this method to stick Dian Ma on the rock wall of the wind hole to stop its falling momentum.
Finally, Dianma's long legs successfully caught the wall of the pit, and the speed gradually slowed down while pulling, and finally stopped.
"careful!"
"Protect the boss!"
"Hold on tight and don't let go!"
The others were also the best among humans. Although the incident happened suddenly, they all reacted quickly.
Someone's fingers turned into vines, which wrapped around Dian Ma's back shell while pulling his companions around him.
Some of them grew wings and rescued several people while flying.
Some also used magic to stabilize the people around them.
In a short time, everyone calmed down.
Wei Huan also pulled Mu Zhong and stood steadily on the back shell. He was surrounded by thick black flames, and his cold face made him look intimidating without even being angry.
He looked up at the road they came from. The wind was blowing down, pulling them to go deeper.
Ever since leaving the fifth-level world, his ability to foresee the future has disappeared. Even though he has been very careful in dealing with things, he still gets into trouble from time to time.
The last time he was dragged into the world of monsters, although it added a paradise for mankind, but looking back, if it was not him, but anyone else, or if he was not strong enough, the result would not be like this, and the world of monsters would become his grave.
Now, he has once again encountered an accident that is out of his control. I wonder if he can turn danger into safety and turn a disaster into a blessing this time?
"Everyone hold on tight, let's get out of here."
Wei Huan ordered Dian Ma to climb up. Although the suction was strong, it was not impossible to get rid of it.
"Wait a minute, Wei Huan." Mu Zhong stopped Wei Huan and said in surprise, "The Iron Heart mission has been updated! We finally found a breakthrough!"
After hearing this, Wei Huan's face, which was as gloomy as if it was about to drip water, finally looked better.
Sure enough, his intuition was right. He felt from the beginning that this wind hole was abnormal and even dangerous, so in order to avoid danger, he made another choice. But now the facts told him that one cannot get a tiger cub without learning the tiger's blood, so he had to go on this journey after all.
"What does Ironheart say?"
"Sharing it with you."
Afterwards, Wei Huan saw the updated mission information.
After entering the Dark Beast Plane this time, all the "monster killing missions" issued by Iron Heart the last time I came to this plane disappeared. Only one main mission remained, which was to explore the secrets of the Dark Beast Plane.
[Main Quest: The Secret of the Dark Beast Plane (Unfinished)]
[Exploring the "Tianzhu Twin Mountains" (unfinished)]
[Exploring the "Abyss" (Unfinished)]
【Exploring the "Shadow of the World" (Unfinished)】
【Exploring "The Bright Star" (Unfinished)】
Today, this main quest is still there, but the quest to "explore the twin mountains of Tianzhu" has finally undergone new changes.
[Exploring the "Tianzhu Twin Mountains" (unfinished)]
[Branch 1: Entering the Deep Passage]
[Side Quest 2: Collect Ancient Divine Crystals]
[Side Quest 3: Find a way to refine weapons]
As everyone knows, this "Heart of Steel" has rebelled and challenged the world's main system, and is loyal to humans, or in other words, to Mu Zhong.
It announced new tasks, not to embarrass them, but to guide them. Especially these three side tasks, it was telling them clearly that there were good things deep in this passage.
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Zhong.
Mu nodded and smiled, "Looks like I have to hurry up and build the space warehouse."
Wei Huan added, "Send the tasks to everyone."
Mu Zhong smiled: "That's right, good news should be shared."
With the update of the mission, the brave team, who were nervous and confused just a second ago, instantly showed new vitality.
"The mission has been updated, have you seen it?"
"So I was going to fall into a pit. If you had told me earlier, I would have jumped in."
"The Ancient Divine Crystal sounds awesome, brothers, keep your eyes open and don't miss out on any good stuff!"
"Hahaha, I knew there was something in this pit. It's not hindsight. These vents are obviously unusual. If we hadn't been so careful, we would have gotten in long ago."
"Tempering weapons? Tempering what weapons?"
For a moment, everyone started chatting excitedly.
Wei Huan also said to Mu Zhong: "Shall we continue on?"
Mu nodded: "Okay, let me go."
Wei Huan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he had been hugging Mu Zhong very tightly. In the moment of crisis, he subconsciously hugged him, as if he was holding the most precious baby, and would not allow him to get hurt at all. But now that he was reminded of this, he felt a little hot in his ears.
Mu Zhong laughed beside him, "Thank you, otherwise I would have really fallen. It was too sudden just now."
"Yeah." Wei Huan nodded, thinking that they were already an old couple, so why should they be so polite?
Mu Zhong secretly admired Wei Huan's rare shyness, he really liked it. This man was very authoritative in front of everyone else and his style of doing things was almost cold, but he would show a different color only in front of him.
Wei Huan quickly guessed Mu Zhong's thoughts. In fact, he did not hide his feelings, and his deep affection was all in his eyes.
She held Mu Zhong's hand tightly for a moment before restraining herself and letting go.
Turning around again, the awe-inspiring Commander Wei appeared before everyone again, his whole body covered in black flames. Wherever he looked, everyone fell silent. Everyone took their seats and stopped talking without restraint.
Wei Huan felt that his dark power was being consumed too quickly, and he could no longer keep Dian Ma's body from becoming gigantic. After Dian Ma's body returned to normal, it adapted to the deceleration and floated down like a dandelion, following the wind.
Occasionally, when it realizes it is going too fast, it will swing its long legs as if it is in water, and its speed will slow down.
Moreover, after no longer fighting against the suction force, the protective shield stabilized. For a while, they were temporarily safe in this passage.
Wei Huan summoned Sister Crow and Dog, letting them shrink and surround him. One flew above his head and cast the Netherworld Realm, while the other floated over his shoulder, sprinkling bits of Netherworld energy.
His dark power began to increase rapidly.
However, in this state, Wei Huan was in a state where no one was allowed to approach him. Even if a strong man like Captain Xue came close, he would be corroded by the Netherworld Energy. Mu Zhong could only stay away and stay with the other team members. This made it easier to arrange tasks and he was also protected by everyone.
After a while, everyone gradually calmed down from their excitement, and Mu Zhong also began to continue building the space warehouse.
The flight took more than two hours.
Soon after Wei Huan's netherworld power was fully restored, everyone clearly felt that this passage seemed to be coming to an end.
Although there was no light in the passage, it was not dark in their view. It was just too gray and they could not see too far. However, they could still make out that the vertical passage was gradually becoming an arc, and they were flying horizontally.
As we were flying, a ball of white light suddenly appeared in front of us, which was very eye-catching in the darkness.
But the flying speed was too fast, and before anyone could react, the light fell behind them and disappeared in an instant.
Xu Qingqiang was the first to jump out: "Is that the ancient divine crystal? Is it?"
Others also reacted: "I guess so!"
"That's right, this place is all the same, it's the only thing that glows, whether it is or not, just grab it first!"
"Ancient Divine Crystal, the name itself sounds impressive. When was ancient times? Ten thousand years ago?"
"What's the ancient age of ten thousand years ago? The monsters in the seventh-level world are from ten thousand years ago, that is, the mythological era. Before the mythological era, there was the barbaric era, and finally the ancient era, okay? If there are no ancient things, I would say they are not ancient if they are less than one hundred million!"
"Ten thousand years of mythology, a million years of wilderness, and tens of millions of years of antiquity."
"No, no, Blue Planet is 4.6 billion years old, and the ancient times must have been hundreds of millions..." The two men started arguing, and the others listened intently. After all, who wouldn't be curious about such unknown things? The key was that it was closely related to the benefits they were about to reap, so naturally, the more awesome the better.
At this moment, light appeared again ahead.
“Here I come!”
I don't know who shouted, but everyone subconsciously took action to get it.
However, there were only a few people who could take action. Two wise men and three hunters tried to shoot down the starlight from a distance.
There was also a team member who was parasitized by the sixth-level Vine King in the Monster World. He waved his vines to try to catch the starlight.
Some people wanted to jump out and take it directly, but were stopped by Wei Huan.
"Don't move!" Wei Huan stopped these fearless people.
Because of this delay, everyone saw that no matter whether it was the arrows, magic, or the vines, they were instantly destroyed as soon as they left Dian Ma's protective shield.
"My goodness, is it really that scary out there?" Captain Xue shrank his neck. "With this strength and speed, who can get it?"
Everyone then realized how bad the situation outside was. The only reason they could still laugh and joke here was because the boss was strong enough.
Wei Huan asked Dian Ma to slow down, and when the starlight appeared again, everyone could see clearly what it was.
The starlight floated in the passage, ignoring the strong wind, and the thing flying lightly was actually a butterfly.
Of course, this couldn't be a butterfly, and even if it was, it wouldn't be an ordinary butterfly.
It is impossible for a butterfly to fly so easily in such an environment. It is as if it was born here. In addition, it is not small in size, more than two meters tall, and its wings emit light, so it is impossible to see its specific appearance too clearly.
The "butterfly" seemed to have noticed that they were slowly approaching, and it flapped its wings and was about to fly away. Wei Huan ordered the two-headed hidden demon to rush out and catch it.
However, the sixth-level two-headed hidden demon was swept away by the wind as soon as it flew out of the protective shield. Even though it struggled hard, it was ultimately unable to resist the wind and was soon blown away.
In less than ten seconds, these two-headed hidden demons flew out of the summoning distance and returned to Wei Huan's tomb.
Now, everyone was more aware of how strong the wind outside was, and they acted more cautiously.
After all, no matter how strong their bodies are, if they cannot resist the power of the wind and are blown apart from everyone else, it will be difficult for them to reunite again.
Mu Zhong asked, "Are you not approaching because you're worried about the butterfly's potential attacks?"
Wei Huan nodded.
Mu Zhong said, "You've always been cautious. It must be extraordinary that this butterfly can survive so easily in such an environment."
This time, Wei Huan sent the Shuroma leader who had eaten the black dragon to take action.
He has a total of five pseudo-god-level heroes. Mo Ji is not here, Sister Crow and Lord Demon Eye have no hands and are not good at catching, Big Bear is not good at flying, and the rest of them have to be protected by Dian Ma, and they must not get close to danger easily. Now only the Xiu Rome leader can move.
The Shuroma leader who had merged with the black dragon stepped into the air. Although he was also swept by the wind after leaving the protective shield, he fought with all his strength and finally arrived in front of the butterfly with difficulty.
But before it could make a move, the butterfly flapped its wings and appeared a hundred meters away the next second, thus dodging it.
Mu Zhong raised his eyebrows: "He can still run. It will be difficult to catch him."
Despite saying so, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong's expressions were calm. Mu Zhong chuckled and raised his hand to tap the earrings lightly. With a "ding" sound, the Shuroma leader, who was having a hard time moving in the wind, suddenly rushed towards the starlight butterfly and hugged it.
Fortunately, although this starlight butterfly can hide, it is not very agile and has no means of attack, so it was caught by the Shuroma leader.
The moment it was hugged, the starlight butterfly instantly became smaller, and its pair of star-studded wings disappeared. When the Shuroma leader came back, all that was left in his arms was a piece of light golden stone that was nearly as tall as a person.
Shuroma was very big, and the stone was big enough for him to hold in both hands. He handed it to Wei Huan respectfully.
Wei Huan stopped Mu Zhong from touching her. Black flames reignited in his body, and just as he was about to touch her, Captain Xue stopped him again: "Boss, let me do it."
Xu Qingqiang also said: "Let him come, he can handle it."
Captain Xue was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Qingqiang. He pushed Wei Huan and others a little further away before touching the crystal.
In fact, at this moment, no one is sure what it is.
Fortunately, they still have a heart of steel, and they are simply "artifacts" that challenge the world's walking.
As Captain Xue's fingers touched the pale golden crystal, everyone's task changed.
[Main Quest: The Secret of the Dark Beast Plane (Unfinished)]

[Branch 1: Entering the Deep Passage]
[Side Quest 2: Collecting Ancient Divine Crystals (Completed)]

…
The task list that suddenly popped up shocked everyone. Seeing that it was more like a task description from Dan Fang than a task, everyone looked at Iron Heart as if they were looking at their adoptive father.
Damn it, Heart of Steel is simply a "leaky little cotton jacket" that challenges the world's main system!
Just when everyone was shocked to the point of being speechless, another side quest popped up.
[Side Quest 30: Try to directly refine and absorb the Ancient Divine Crystal for 10 minutes 0/1]
When this task was issued, Iron Heart almost said directly: "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and eat!"
Good guy, he is really a leaky little cotton-padded jacket, his heart is too biased.
"I'll do it!" Captain Xue spoke directly, raised his hand and pressed the ancient divine crystal and said, "Let me try it first." After that, he closed his eyes and started practicing without thinking.
Everyone knew that he was using himself to pave the way for his companions. Iron Heart was ultimately a challenge to the world. Although he had stood on the side of humans so far, he had to be careful since they were not of his kind.
Captain Xue sacrificed himself to "explore the way" for everyone, and everyone waited quietly until ten minutes later, when the task system jumped and the 30th side task was completed. Captain Xue also slowly opened his eyes.
Captain Xue said with a strange look on his face, "I can't say for sure. Maybe 10 minutes is too short, but I haven't noticed anything unusual so far. Boss, the effectiveness of this thing is unknown, and we don't know if there are any side effects. I'll take a few people to try it for two days. If it works, you and Boss Mu can use it."
"It's okay..." Wei Huan wanted to say.
Captain Xue said even faster, "Your safety is of paramount importance. Please take care of yourself."
Mu Zhong also advised: "It's only two days. During these two days, Old Xue will try to see what this thing is useful for. You also need to cooperate with me to get more ancient crystals. Apart from other things, this thing must be extremely precious. You won't be able to get it if you leave here."
Since they said so, Wei Huan would not be so stubborn as to take the risk. He let them protect themselves in this way, while he controlled Dianma to continue moving forward, trying to collect as many ancient crystals as possible before the attribute blessing of the Xiu Luoma leader disappeared.
Now that we know the characteristics of this ancient crystal, it is not difficult to collect it. It’s just that there are not many of them, and we have to fly for a while each time to encounter the next crystal.
Two hours passed quickly, and the blessing time of the Shuroma leader ended, followed by 15 hours of weakness.
As Mu Zhong Shaman's level increases, the weakness time is reduced a lot, but the reduction does not mean zero, and he cannot fight continuously after all.
After taking back the leader of the Shuroma, Wei Huan simply stopped using other undead to capture the ancient divine crystal. After finding the ancient divine crystal, he directly asked Dian Ma to fly over and put it into the protective shield, and then he could rub it as he pleased.
The efficiency of capture increased instantly, and soon a mountain of ancient crystals piled up behind Wei Huan.
Now Wei Huan just stood here without practicing, and he felt as if his sea of soul was being nourished, just like his dry skin was covered with a thin layer of water vapor. It was a comfortable feeling.
Wei Huan took another look at the task description. This ancient divine crystal has the function of stabilizing the soul and accelerating cultivation.
It seems... in the later stages of cultivation, the direction of cultivation has shifted from strengthening the physical body to gradually involving the soul.
The stronger the soul, the more power of the underworld there will be, and it will be more powerful when used. In addition, it will be easier to perceive the laws.
"Finally finished." Mu Zhong, holding three spatial warehouses in one hand, walked out of the studio with a smile and came to Wei Huan's side. "When it was finally completed, the Iron Heart allowed me to integrate some ancient divine crystals. Guess what happened?"
Wei Huan guessed, "The space has gotten bigger?"
Mu Zhong shook his head and extended his hand forward: "Focus on this."
Wei Huan listened to him and focused his attention on this. He immediately noticed the difference and was surprised: "This...isn't it the same as the system warehouse?"
"It's more advanced than the system warehouse and doesn't rely on a chariot." Mu Zhong said as he raised his hand and pushed lightly, and a space warehouse in his hand disappeared.
At the same time, a space warehouse was floating above Wei Huan's sea of soul.
Wei Huan's mind moved, and he took out his weapon, the Ring of Mofidi, a Death Sword, from the space warehouse he carried with him. The scythe alone was more than one meter long, making it extremely inconvenient to move with on a daily basis. Therefore, he would put the weapon into the space warehouse unless he was in combat.
However, this space warehouse is external and there is a risk of it being lost.
Now he placed the Mofidi Ring in the space warehouse he had just entered, and then stored it in the Sea of Souls. With just a thought, he could easily take the Mofidi Ring in or out. And things stored in the Sea of Souls could not be taken away by others unless he died, and it was even less likely to be lost accidentally.
"nice one!"
Wei Huan is now knowledgeable and experienced, and there are few things that can move him anymore, but this space warehouse with just a few ancient divine crystals added to it shocked him greatly.
The main reason for inference from this is that if the equipment and weapons are made of ancient divine crystals, can they also be stored in the Sea of Souls?
Moreover, the Sea of Souls is extremely vast, and can accommodate hundreds of millions of spatial warehouses. Will there be a need to worry about insufficient storage in the future? I am afraid that he alone can sweep away all the supplies of a world.
"No." Mu Zhong interrupted his fantasy with a smile, "The Sea of Soul is of great importance. It is the foundation of spiritual cultivation. We can't pile too many things in it. Two or three is fine, but more will do us more harm than good.
Furthermore, although this spatial warehouse appears to be only the size of a palm, it actually contains a space larger than a basketball court. Placing such a large space in the Sea of Souls is dangerous and cannot be used for more than a few minutes."
After saying that, Mu Zhong threw his hand, and the remaining two space warehouses in his hand fell into the hands of Xu Qingqiang and Hammer Brother respectively. The two of them had already smelled the "smell" of good things and came over.
Xu Qingqiang and Hammer Brother took the space warehouse and already knew how to use it. The next second, the space warehouse disappeared from their hands, and at the same time, the weapons they habitually carried on their backs disappeared from their bodies.
Xu Qingqiang also sent his equipment in, but he felt cold. He looked down at the yellow maple leaf briefs he was wearing, and silently put his equipment back on.
"Okay, this thing is good." Xu Qingqiang concealed his embarrassment, lit a cigarette and said calmly, "I tried it on for you. You can put it on directly when you take it out. Yeah, that's it."
Mu Zhong suppressed a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Qiang." Then he looked at Wei Huan and said, "You are becoming more and more amazing."
Wei Huan thought about it and nodded: "Indeed."
The legendary method of changing clothes with just a wave of the hand is exactly the same as the ability they possess now.
Mu Zhong added, "You're right, it's just a god. We all have the chance to become gods, as long as we keep going."
Hammer brother on the side put away his axe which was as big as a door panel, but he felt a chill on his back which made him uncomfortable, so he took out the axe silently and immediately looked relieved.
The 2.0 version of the space warehouse made everyone excited again, and they couldn't help but speak freely.
“Is it possible for me to carry a house with me?”
"You only care about eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating. You asked me to put three missile vehicles in this warehouse, and even add missiles that challenge technology."
"It's the age of mythical weapons now. Hot weapons are already outdated, okay? I personally prefer to use some hidden weapons, like the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles or something like that. Whoever dares to hit me will be sprayed in the face!"
"You might as well use more manure, it will definitely work the best, hahaha!"
While chatting and laughing, they walked a long way forward. The wind was still strong, but everyone had long since adapted to this environment.
The ancient divine crystals were also very easy to capture. Wei Huan didn't need to control it. Dian Ma captured them on her own, and soon a pile of ancient divine crystals piled up on the back shell.
However, Wei Huan also discovered that after just over an hour, the ancient divine crystal that Captain Xue and the other five people were practicing around had obviously shrunk. It seemed that the consumption of this thing was also high.
Not to mention supplying it to all of humanity, it's obviously not enough to just supply it to the main force on his tank.
Keep catching! The more the better!
We walked like this for another hour, and when the sun was shining outside and dawn was just breaking, the whistling wind became weaker.
Wei Huan didn't relax. He said, "Be careful. The wind might change again."
"Everyone, get ready. There will be a risk of turbulence if the wind direction changes." Mu Zhong reminded everyone.
Everyone prepared themselves in advance to stabilize themselves, even Captain Xue and others temporarily stopped practicing.
As expected, just as they said these few words, a strong wind suddenly blew from the front. Even though Dianma was prepared, she was blown away for more than ten seconds before she stabilized and had to move forward with difficulty against the strong wind.
When everyone looked at the deformed protective shield, they realized that they had been able to sail so smoothly last night because they had the wind with them. Now that they were against the wind, they discovered that the wind from the shield was extremely strong.
It was difficult for Dianma to move forward and her speed had slowed down too much. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for her to capture the ancient divine crystal.
They tried many times to catch the ancient divine crystal, but the giant butterfly easily dodged them. Mu Zhong could only say to Wei Huan with regret, "It seems we have to wait until nightfall and a favorable wind to catch these guys."
Wei Huan nodded: "From midnight to 6 am, you can catch the Ancient Divine Crystal during this period."
"Indeed, we've taken advantage of all the benefits. It would be strange if we could just pick these natural treasures."
"We can take it because we are strong enough. The Dark Beast Clan has occupied this world for billions of years, but they are guarding the treasure mountain and we can't take it away." Wei Huan said confidently.
Mu nodded. "That's right. If it weren't for that little protective shield, none of us would have been able to get this deep. Speaking of which, do you think there's any significance to this timing?"
Wei Huan shook his head. He had thought about it when he said it, but he couldn't think of any reason.
Mu Zhong murmured, "From midnight to the next morning... is it like this every night? Is it a natural phenomenon similar to the tides on Blue Planet? Or something else?" Finally, he said, "It seems this is the real secret that Iron Heart wants us to explore. Only by going deeper into this passage can we get the real answer."
In this way, they slowly moved against the wind during the day. If they encountered an ancient divine crystal, they could get it with more effort, but it was a huge waste of time and was far less successful than catching it at night.
However, they came here this time for supplies, especially rare supplies like the Ancient Divine Crystal. It would be a pity to miss any of them.
During the entire day, they could obtain about one-fifth of the night's resources. At 12 o'clock midnight, when the wind direction changed, they moved forward quickly to capture all the ancient crystals along the way.
As the days passed, the number of ancient crystals increased every day, and before they were realized, they filled up an entire space warehouse.
However, considering its comprehensive uses, this amount is far from enough, and more is needed.
"Five days."
"It's been five days already."
"I've taken quite a few ancient crystals, but I still have no clue how to complete the other two tasks."
"Yes, we are in the process of reaching the depths of the tunnel. What I care most about is this weapon tempering."
"Me too. How do we refine it? Boss Mu just tried to use the Ancient Divine Crystal to fuse it into our weapons during the day, but there was no completion notice, and the weapons didn't have any special effects. However, the dagger Boss Mu refined yesterday, which was melted with the Ancient Divine Crystal, although it was just an ordinary weapon, can be placed in the Sea of Souls."
"Will we get the answer when we reach the end of the passage?"
"Maybe. This time, coming to the Dark Beast Plane, it's so relaxing that it's a bit torturous. I'm on the road every day, and there are no battles. The key is to travel in such an environment. I don't know why, but it makes me a bit irritable."
"Huh? I thought I was born into a blessed family but didn't know how to appreciate it. So you're the same? I'll go ask other people."
Soon, Wei Huan got the news.
Because everyone has been in such a dark and depressing environment for a long time, their emotions are a little off, and a vague desire to destroy is spreading among the team members.
Mu Zhong frowned and said, "Everyone can endure loneliness. Each of them has extraordinary willpower and will never become abnormal just because the environment is boring. Do you remember that before we came in, I felt a sense of restlessness when I looked at the wind hole? Perhaps we have been affected by this energy unconsciously these days. We need to find a way to deal with it."
Wei Huan said, "I know what you said, but it's just your feelings that I don't have."
Mu Zhong reacted quickly: "You mean the degree of being affected is related to the degree of development of the sea of soul?" After all, Wei Huan was the one with the strongest soul development among them, and because of his dual professions, his soul was the best among them, so this feeling was not obvious. The obviously violent ones in the team were all melee professions who did not pay much attention to the cultivation of soul on weekdays.
Wei Huan reminded, "Look at how Captain Xue feels differently from everyone else. Perhaps there's a reason why Iron Heart reminded us to practice with the Ancient Divine Crystal."
Mu Zhong was surprised. He looked at the black cube on his shoulder and said, "If this is true, then I must have misunderstood it."
The black cube floats quietly, like a wronged child.
Sure enough, Wei Huan's direction was correct. Captain Xue was the number one "meat tank" of the human race. He had always cultivated the strength of his flesh and blood, and had never paid attention to the soul, let alone practiced it specifically.
Now that he has been deep in this place for many days, everyone else is restless, but he doesn't feel anything. He just concentrates on using the ancient divine crystal to practice every day. According to him, after practicing like this, he feels refreshed and his mind becomes smarter.
Of course, the most important reason why Captain Xue devoted himself to cultivation was to explore the way for Wei Huan and to find out the side effects of this kind of cultivation.
Now that Mu Chong saw that Captain Xue and the people who practiced with Captain Xue were not affected, what was there for him to not understand?
The people were divided into groups of five, with each group receiving an ancient divine crystal. In addition to their routine duties, all members began to practice.
In Wei Huan's view, this incident was just a small episode. There would always be some accidents during the adventure, and all he had to do was find a solution.
Only later did he realize that if they had not used the ancient divine crystal to cultivate, while strengthening their spiritual consciousness, they would have quietly changed their own aura. Not to mention reaching the end of this passage, if they just walked a few more days, they would have been eroded by the energy, their emotions would have swayed them, they would have been easily irritated, and they might even have killed each other.
After all, this is...'s territory.
A heart of steel is indeed crucial.
But now, Wei Huan and others inadvertently eliminated the crisis. Mu Zhong knew that there were still many secrets of the Iron Heart that had not been uncovered, so he built a relationship with it while building a space warehouse.
Wei Huanze didn't know when his eyes fell on the walls of the passage.
He first became concerned when there was a brief ten-second silence during a change in wind direction. Wei Huan inadvertently set his eyes on the nearest wall and vaguely felt that the wall seemed to be moving.
But before he could confirm it, the wind blew over, and he no longer had that feeling during the journey.
Later, the wind direction changed again, and Wei Huan confirmed that the wall was indeed moving, like some kind of biological tissue, in short, it was not the mineral material he had initially thought.
Wei Huan didn't know why, but before he was sucked into the passage, he suddenly looked back and saw the Langya Mountain, which looked like hair and was shaking.
Half a day later, the wind direction changed in the early morning. Mu Zhong and several people with excellent eyesight called by Mu Zhong waited to observe the abnormality of the wall with Wei Huan.
In order to observe more clearly this time, Wei Huan summoned the pseudo-god-level Demon Eye Lord and cast his vision upon it.
The wind stopped.
The moment the whistling wind disappeared, Wei Huan's face changed drastically.
"Boom! Boom!"
At the same time, someone next to him shouted, "Yes, this wall is alive! I can even hear a heartbeat!!"
"What heartbeat? Why didn't I hear it?"
"Listen carefully, it's a heartbeat, or something else. In any case, this isn't the ore tunnel we thought it was."
"I...seem to have also experienced something unusual..."
"Boom! Boom!"
Wei Huan narrowed his eyes and looked at the wall with an unfathomable expression.
"call--"
The wind started to blow again, and the whistling sound covered up all the strange noises, and naturally hid the "dong dong" sound that was not very clear to begin with.
Wei Huan turned his gaze away from the Demon Eye Lord and stared solemnly at Mu Zhong. Finally, he concluded, "We... seem to be inside the body of some gigantic, boundless creature."
As Wei Huan said this, his task list changed again.
[Exploring the "Tianzhu Twin Mountains" (unfinished)]
[Branch 1: Entering the Deep Tunnel (Completed)]
[Side Quest 2: Collecting Ancient Divine Crystals (Completed)]
[Side Quest 3: Find a way to refine weapons]
Iron Heart was obviously telling them in this way: Yes, you are right, this is the truth I want you to explore, you are indeed in the body of an infinitely huge living creature.
Mu Zhong's Adam's apple twitched as he thought of a possibility: "In the ancient divine crystal and the body of a living being, is it possible that we are now in the body of an ancient god?"
Wei Huan's expression froze.
That way, everything makes sense.
If it wasn't in the body of an ancient god, where did the ancient divine crystal come from? If it wasn't such a being, why couldn't I even walk in its body?
And these living walls and the faint heartbeat all indicate that they are within a boundless and enormous being.
Ancient gods?
Does that mean the entire Dark Beast world actually resides on the body of a single giant beast? What are the Dark Beast clan? Are they fleas on the body of this ancient god? No, that's not right. They should be considered bacteria!
Wei Huan calmed his pounding heart, knowing that he shouldn't be too surprised. After all, this was not the first time he had encountered the body of a god being a world of its own.
The sixth-level world is the world that appears on the body of a god. Also, when he had his seventh sudden enlightenment, he sank into the abyss of the underworld and saw the Lord of the Underworld, which was like a universe. Isn’t that bigger than this?
But... this is a living god after all, and he is walking inside its body. These shielding winds may just be its natural breathing, but they are already extremely powerful. It is hard to imagine how powerful he needs to be to defeat such an existence?
The further you go on the road of evolution, the more you realize how insignificant you are.
This colorful world is really big!
After having such speculation, Wei Huan did not dare to act rashly for several days, for fear that a single careless move would attract the attention of the ancient gods. With his current abilities, even if there were ten thousand of him, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat such an existence, right?
Of course, not daring to move is one thing, but he still had to take the ancient divine crystal without mercy. Moreover, because he guessed the truth, he figured out how to complete the third side quest.
Temper your weapons.
But now is not the time.
