Chapter 324 Ambush in the Demonic World
Of course, he did not cut off contact with Mu Zhong.
Challenge: Technology is very advanced and signal layout in this world is very simple, so Wei Huan said that he went out to practice, but in fact he was always connected with Mu Chong, and he knew everything that happened at the headquarters.
Occasionally, when he saw some beautiful scenery, he would ask Mu Chong to come and see it. They would watch the mountains and rivers during the day and the stars at night. The two had been together for more than three years and were still used to seeing each other all the time. They didn't want to be separated and they wouldn't get tired of each other.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
Wei Huan came out of the Occupational Temple and was still on his mother's back in the wilderness when Mu Zhong's screen suddenly popped up and zoomed in. Seeing that he had opened his eyes, he hurriedly said, "Wei Huan, something happened."
The smile that had just appeared on Wei Huan's lips turned cold again.
Mu Zhong said, "Last night, the gate to the North Sea Abyss opened, and when Hammer Brother and his team entered, they were attacked. Six of them died on the spot, and the rest retreated.
They say the Sky Demons have already made plans there and may soon launch an invasion against us!"
"The Celestial Demon Clan..." Wei Huan recited these three words in his mind, his brows furrowed.
The Sky Demon Clan knew that there was a space passage in the sea, which did not seem to be very surprising. No one knew how long the Sky Demon had ruled this world, so long that the monsters had forgotten that they were the masters of this world and respected the Sky Demon as the King of Monsters.
He was not surprised that it knew the secrets of this world.
However, what surprised Wei Huan was what Mu Zhong said next.
"...On the other side of that tunnel is a dark energy world, inhabited by demons from Western mythology. They've gathered at the entrance and could attack at any moment." Mu Zhong spoke quickly, "I've already gone there with my men. You need to hurry here. Our main battle tanks are in a level seven world, so we won't be able to hold out for long."
"Then I won't go." Wei Huan said this after listening.
Mu Zhong's anxious face suddenly froze, and then his eyebrows began to rise little by little.
Wei Huan continued, "This isn't Blue Planet. So what if we evacuate temporarily? We can just fight back later. Don't let anyone die in vain. It's not worth it."
Mu Zhong was silent for a few seconds, then smiled: "Only you can make such a decision."
Of course, Mu Zhong didn't want to die. He would leave naturally if things got out of hand.
He said: “The portal is limited in the number of transports it can make at a time, so as long as the layout is right, we should be able to hold it up for a while.
They know your strength. This operation will not be as simple as occupying the Monster World. I am worried that once we retreat, it will be difficult to regain the lost territory.
You should know that we will not allow ourselves to be involved in a long-term war. After all, the development of the "Challenge World" is the key. Once it is determined that the war is too costly, both you and I will choose to retreat to the Level 7 world.
But in this world, we are also of great use."
Wei Huan was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Be careful and conserve your strength. I will rush over as soon as possible."
"Um."
Neither of them spoke after that. Wei Huan hurried on his way with all his might. In order to go faster, he also used his dark power, so that his mother's speed could be even faster.
Mu Zhong was deploying his troops. Since most of the old charioteers did not have chariots, he had to send these newcomers to the battlefield as well.
The chariot is just a tool, and the path of cultivation still depends on oneself, but in war, an extra help is good.
What's more, the Tianyao clan is also a challenger. They probably also have gifts to challenge the world. At the same time, they come from the ninth-level world and cannot be underestimated.
Wei Huan quickly obtained information about the enemy.
The camera that Thor carried with him recorded everything they experienced after passing through the gate.
It was a dark and desolate world with flowing lava and no sunlight, as dark as if it were buried deep underground.
Volcanoes rose from the ground, red lava meandered freely on the ground, and monsters gathered on the vast land, so densely packed that there was no end in sight.
These monsters varied in form, but most were black and red. Their skin, resembling the texture of human skin, was covered in a variety of intricate and ornate patterns. However, their appearance completely defied human aesthetic standards. Their features and forms could be described as hideous, and the pair of large horns atop their heads resembled demons from movies, TV series, and storybooks.
The video's perspective not only recorded the scene in front of it, but also recorded three extremely unique forms flying in the air just a few hundred meters away from the boundary gate. They were different from the demons and could be distinguished at a glance as being from the Sky Demon Clan.
The reason why they could tell they were from the Celestial Demon Clan was naturally because they had already met one of them, the snail monster that had occupied the demon beast world and called himself the King of Beasts.
But this time, it is no longer fighting alone, it has two other celestial demons by its side.
The appearance of this group is actually quite easy to distinguish. They all look a bit like humans, but they have either two or six tentacles on their bald heads, which are spread out like WiFi antennas.
The lower body is either a snail or a shell, in short, the body of a mollusk.
Moreover, there is a faint fluorescence on their bodies. Wei Huan did not know this before, but after coming into contact with the ancient gods, he discovered that these celestial demons might have some connection with the ancient gods. This silver-textured light flows with divine power, presenting a faint sense of oppression, and is naturally high and mighty, overlooking the world from a distance.
In the video, the three-headed celestial demon turned around, obviously surprised by the sudden appearance of Hammer Brother and others. Then the demon beast king celestial demon, who had met him once before, took action.
Technological means cannot capture high-level battles, where every move affects the power of the laws of heaven and earth. Wei Huan only saw the demon wave his hand and Hammer Brother flew out. At the same time, some of the gambler team members who were traveling with him died on the spot.
"withdraw!"
Thor made a prompt decision and gave the order. At the same time, he should have used his "passerby talent" to make the demon lose its target while protecting everyone.
However, this Sky Demon was much stronger than Hammer Brother. Although he was shaken for a moment, he quickly re-locked the target and struck again, and another team member died on the spot.
Then the scene blurred, and Hammer Brother and the others returned to the Monster World. Their first reaction was: "Destroy the gate!"
The correct judgment, even if this gate costs a huge amount, but in the face of war, nothing matters.
Thor used his giant axe to destroy the gate on the spot, leaving the construction team that had been on duty on this side, including the one that built the gate, looking at each other in confusion.
The group of people who fled back in a panic had no time to grieve for their companions. They looked with lingering fear at the space rift that still existed and became more and more obvious even though the boundary gate was destroyed. They reported to the headquarters with grim expressions.
This happened just twenty minutes ago.
Although Wei Huan did not go to the boundary gate and used the guise of cultivation to look for rare treasures for Mu Zhong, he also paid attention to the time when Brother Hammer and the others would go to the other world, so he calculated the time to enter the Professional Temple. He originally planned to finish his cultivation and just send Brother Hammer and the others off.
Unexpectedly, it seemed that they set out a little earlier. Just a difference of 10 minutes led to such a big thing.
Judging from the video, all the decisions made by Thor were correct, especially the timely destruction of the boundary gate, which provided them with time to deploy troops.
This is probably the reason why Mu Zhong must go there. There is still a chance to stop the invasion of the demon army led by the Sky Demon Clan outside the space rift.
However, they are, after all, the Celestial Demon Clan, and have reached the point of challenging the end of the world's evolution.
The descendants of the deceivers who once caused the destruction of the human race are like a pile of real seaweed in the eyes of these celestial demons. The destruction they caused with a wave of their hands and feet has even made the descendants of the deceivers imprint their horror in their DNA, which is passed down from generation to generation.
For such a tribe, mastering the boundary gate technology is the basic foundation, so even if the boundary gate is destroyed, it will be easy for them to come over.
This battle is not easy to fight, especially when it will take Wei Huan at least three days to get there. If the human race wants to reduce casualties, the best way is to retreat back to the headquarters and then join forces with the garrison sent by Commander Fang to fight.
But if they did that, as Mu Zhong said, they would be forced into a meaningless tug-of-war and invest too much energy in this irrelevant world.
While analyzing the current situation, Wei Huan connected with Brother Hammer and discussed the next plan with Mu Zhong. Soon Commander Fang also connected.
Commander Fang said, "We've already sent someone to notify the Level Six World. Reinforcements will arrive soon. How strong are you in your fight against the demons?"
Hammer shook his head: "There was no fighting. The Sky Demons attacked directly. Six of us died. The rest of us and I evacuated."
Mu Zhong said, "The ideal scenario is that the two connected worlds are of similar level. However, the demons have been preparing for a long time. I think they have gathered all their high-end combat power. Add in the three celestial demons, and it will be difficult to defeat them."
Wei Huan said, "Use the seventh-level forbidden spell scroll first, and wait for me to come over."
Hammer Brother and the others set off at 7:00 in the morning, the time of the challenge, and then escaped back at 7:02. The boundary gate was destroyed at 7:04. Mu Zhong, who received the news at 7:05, began to deploy the front line in front of the space rift. At 7:10, all the engineering personnel in front of the space rift were evacuated. At 7:15, Mu Zhong completed the reorganization of the team, and the vanguard set off.
Wei Huan woke up at 7:18 and received the news.
Wei Huan traveled at lightning speed, not sparing any effort to consume the power of the underworld to speed up his journey. Dianma's body grew to a thousand meters in length. In this state, it would consume 10 points of Wei Huan's underworld power per second, but its maximum speed could reach 6,000 kilometers per hour.
Wei Huan summoned Sister Crow again, and at the same time took out an ancient divine crystal to absorb and refine it. These methods could help him recover his spiritual power and ensure that he would have enough combat power after arriving at the destination.
Less than half an hour later, the space rift suddenly began to release energy, which was a sign that the space channel was in use.
Jacques acted decisively and launched a seventh-level forbidden spell scroll from 10 kilometers away. With a loud "boom", the space channel was affected and the transmission over there was interrupted.
However, the power of the seventh-level forbidden spell scroll was so great that it destroyed all underwater creatures within a radius of nearly ten kilometers around the space rift, including underwater volcanoes and underwater canyons, and set off a tsunami of more than level 12.
Half an hour later, the tsunami reached the nearest coast. The huge waves of a hundred meters swallowed everything and killed countless lives.
Wei Huan didn't feel bad about this and praised Jacques for his decisiveness.
But less than an hour passed before the second space movement came from the other side of the space rift.
Wei Huan understood that the war had begun.
If they just try to stop the other party from teleporting over, they will fall into endless consumption, or if the other party just touches them casually, they have to throw down a level seven scroll because they can't afford the consequences of the other party actually teleporting over.
The Sky Demon Clan is also a challenger and an intelligent life form. The tactics that humans know are also known to the relatively stupid Dark Beast Lords, not to mention the winner of this challenge, the Sky Demon who has already stepped into the ninth-level world.
It's just a bluff, and the opponent uses it very easily.
Even though Jacques later changed the scroll to level six, which still had the effect of disrupting space teleportation, this kind of restraint was destined not to last long.
Commander Fang said, "I just had the engineers do a test. If we open the boundary gate to its maximum power, we can completely ignore the destruction of the space channel and still force our way in."
Mu Zhong frowned: "Can you come here by passing through the unstable space channel?"
Commander Fang said: "If they are strong enough, or have a spatial system, they will definitely be able to come here."
Mu nodded. It was true. It seemed that the enemy was mainly harassing them, but they could come at any time. All it took was some strong men to stop Jacques's delivery, and the enemy's army could easily arrive.
"Passive defense is always restrictive. Can't this space channel be completely destroyed?" Mu Zhong asked.
Commander Fang said, "Our side is destroyed, but the enemy's technology is superior to ours, and they can come at any time they want."
"So, why haven't they come here yet? It's been half a day since they were exposed."
Mu Zhong's last sentence hit the nail on the head.
Yes, since the enemy is so strong and has been preparing for so long, the army has already pressed to the front of the teleportation gate, and the secret of the troop deployment has been exposed, why haven't they come yet?
With the intelligence of the Sky Demon Clan, they would not have failed to realize that once their existence was exposed, the human race would immediately react. Once their defense line was established, the casualties in the war would double.
"Or maybe they're not ready yet," Mu Zhong said. "The exposure was sudden, so they definitely aren't ready yet. But we can't put all our hopes on them. We need to build our defenses as quickly as possible."
"That's all we can do."
"Have Jacques continue to observe. Keep the level six defense scrolls rolling. Our main force hasn't arrived yet. We need to send a message to the enemy about our presence."
"good."
Time passed minute by minute, and another six hours passed.
During this period, Wei Huan and others were connected and had constant conversation.
Mu Zhong doesn't have many high-level tanks. The old crew members' high-level tanks all went with them to the level seven world and never came back. Now the tanks in the Monster World are all driven by newcomers. Most of them are still only level five tanks, and only a small number have level six tanks.
Actually, this is not a problem. Wei Huan has a lot of supplies. When they need to participate in the seventh-level highway assessment, he can allocate them for upgrading.
Level eight tanks may be difficult, but upgrading more than ten or twenty level seven tanks is not a big problem.
But no one expected such an emergency to occur at the moment. Even though Mu Zhong had selected ten chariots for upgrade, it would still take time.
For now, we can only upgrade while traveling.
Night fell unknowingly, and everyone was worried about whether the Sky Demon Clan would attack at night.
The monsters in the dark energy world like to act at night. Perhaps they have been waiting for this moment.
Mu Zhong specifically reminded Yake: "It's hard at night, so keep a close eye on it."
Jacques nodded, his eyes sparkling with golden light, like a majestic eagle.
The night was long and extremely difficult to endure.
The challenging army and Wei Huan traveled all night long, not daring to relax for a moment.
However, after a night, the morning light shines on the earth, the weak and unenlightened monsters wake up and look for food, and the world is still peaceful.
The celestial demon and its army of demons did not come over.
"It seems that they are not ready yet." Mu Zhong looked at the rising sun and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss Mu," a voice chimed in. As he spoke, everyone realized they'd been connected to the same person in their chat since yesterday. It was Hammer Brother. Hammer Brother suddenly spoke up, "I don't think they're ready yet. Is the transmission channel fixed? Only one exit or entrance? Is there another exit?"
Mu Zhong looked stunned, then fell into deep thought.
Fang William was also startled and surprised: "Why do you think they are ready?"
Hammer said, "It seems like they should be ready for battle. Since they've been exposed, they haven't launched an attack yet. This doesn't make sense. I just heard from Big Foot that the Skyworms are like termites in space, and they can drill a lot of holes in space, so..."
Mu Zhong finally understood and sighed, "That's even more troublesome. If it's true, they must have gathered in a corner we can't see."
Commander Fang nodded. "That's correct, and even more likely. Our roots in this world are too shallow. If they come out in full force, we might not be able to resist. My suggestion is to halt our current operations and send out reconnaissance forces to gather intelligence. Meanwhile, we can combine our forces to ensure we don't get wiped out all at once."
Mu Zhong also figured it out: "That's right, we're going to join you. With the sixth-level world gate behind us, whether it's reinforcement or evacuation, it's our greatest confidence. Besides, we can't gamble on whether the Sky Demon Clan can enter our challenge world. We can't afford to lose."
After the two of them said this, they looked at Wei Huan, waiting for his final decision.
"Wei Huan, what do you think?" Mu Zhong asked.
Wei Huan already had the answer in mind and nodded. "Alright, stop marching immediately and turn to reunite with Commander Fang. Everyone at headquarters should evacuate as well. That place is just a boring symbol, unimportant, and easily surrounded. No one will be able to escape then."
"Okay." Mu nodded. "Then we will act now. See you at the garrison camp."
"I won't go over." Who knew Wei Huan would say this.
Mu Zhong was stunned, and as they looked at each other, he quickly understood Wei Huan's thoughts.
Sure enough, Wei Huan said, "Passively waiting to be beaten is not my style. This kind of defense can only be said to be unbeatable. If the enemy comes out from another channel, it means that the North Sea Channel is safe. I will go over, and you guys hold on. In the end, we will definitely win."
Mu Zhong hesitated to speak.
Wei Huan said, "This is war. There's no such thing as 100% safety. I'm willing to take the risk, which means I'll get the most out of it. The Celestial Demons are hostile to us humans. If we can take advantage of their underestimation and kill one or two of them, it will be much easier for us to reach the Ninth Level World."
Success comes from details, wealth and honor come from risks.
Being caught up in this challenging world, there is no peace and tranquility."
Mu Zhong remained silent. His thumbnail was poking at his palm in a place that the camera couldn't capture, and the bones on the back of his hand were jagged.
After a while, he loosened his grip and said calmly, "You're right. Setting fire to the backyard is risky, but if you're the one doing it, the chances of success are extremely high. This is also the only way we can easily win."
Wei Huan curled the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded approvingly to Mu Zhong, then he looked away and looked at Brother Hammer.
"You and Jacques and the others will stay where you are and go to the demon world with me."
Hammer showed an honored smile on his face and nodded: "Yes, sir!"
The hasty response became completely organized after a day of turmoil.
Once the plan is made, all that needs to be done is to execute it. Everyone will go to the garrison base where the boundary gate is located in an orderly manner.
At the same time, the defense of the garrison base is also being continuously strengthened.
Another day passed, and Wei Huan, riding at full speed, arrived at the bottom of the East China Sea and successfully reunited with Jacques and Hammer.
At the same time, the satellite signal sent out by Mu Zhong captured traces of suspected military movements in the swamp plains to the west.
Their destination was none other than the Holy Mountain of Broken Peaks, the headquarters of the pioneering army.
But at this moment, the headquarters has been deserted and not even a hair is left.
Before they parted ways, Mu Zhong said, "I knew they were going to launch a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Reclamation Army. The Sky Demons have been at the top for so long, how could they allow themselves to be defeated by the weak humans in their eyes? Of course, they will stand up where they fell.
Since that's the case, I've taken advantage of their situation and buried a lot of goodies there, hoping to blow up these demons and devils. It would be great if I could just end the war."
After saying this, Mu Zhong looked deeply at Wei Huan: "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."
Wei Huan nodded.
Big Foot and the five gamblers stood on the balcony in front of the car, using the unique spatial ability of the Sky Bug to stabilize this space channel.
The space channel had just recently experienced a fluctuation, as if the opponent was about to teleport in. Wei Huan ordered Jacques to play the game to the end, and used a level 6 forbidden spell scroll to disrupt the opponent's space teleportation.
It was as if they were unaware that the demon army had already rushed towards their headquarters from the swamp plains in the west.
All is fair in war. Before the war officially begins, what matters is the layout, the eyes that can see the opportunity ahead, and the courage to do what they are about to do now.
All judgments are just guesses until they are confirmed. It is also possible that they will face an encirclement and suppression by hundreds of millions of troops this time.
Perhaps the demon army invading from the swamp plains was a deliberate deception set by the Sky Demon Clan, and the real main force was just ahead of them.
Or, just like they are now divided into two groups, the Sky Demon Clan may have gathered high-end combat power on the other side of the portal.
No matter how you speculate, just as Wei Huan convinced Mu Zhong, there is no 100% safety in war. When you scheme against the enemy, the enemy is also scheming against you. There is always a risk.
If they don't want to hand over this world, they must win this battle, and win beautifully, so that these celestial demons will know that even though they are all human beings, there are differences.
"Let's go."
Wei Huan nodded and gave the final order.
