Chapter 325 Soul Search
Under the guidance of Big Foot and other five Sky Bugs, Jacques' chariot slowly moved towards the space rift.
At the same time, Wei Huan was standing on the balcony. Ten portals had been opened, and the undead elites were waiting behind them, holding back their preparations.
Without the boundary gate, it would be much slower to cross the space rift. They walked in the void of space and could not tell the direction. Only those who practiced the laws of space could feel the subtle difference.
It was a coincidence today that they encountered space turbulence when they were traveling through space.
Or maybe it's because they continue to destroy this space, so this kind of spatial turbulence occurs.
For this purpose, a total of 23 Sky Bugs left the chariot, risking getting lost in space, and finally successfully led the way, leading them through the turbulent area safely.
When the space stabilized and the exit of the space rift appeared, Wei Huan asked all the team members to return to the chariot.
"We're almost there." The returning big foot pointed at the barely detectable black mark ahead and said, "That's it. The entrance is quite small and can't accommodate many people crossing at once."
Wei Huan nodded and stared at the black crack. He felt the dark energy pouring in from the opposite side and knew that he had entered this strange world.
After thinking for a while, he summoned Dian Ma, but not to carry them, but to throw them out of the space channel first.
The space channel is very unstable, there is no boundary gate, and the exit is also very narrow. However, since we have already entered this world, Dianma will not force herself to return to the tomb because of space problems.
And Dianma is a legion, so sending it first is the best arrangement.
After successfully sending out Dian Ma, Wei Huan also wanted to throw the Lord of the Demon Eye over there first. It would be even better if he could summon the entire undead army here so that he wouldn't have to worry about being killed as soon as he landed.
Big Foot saw his intention and said hurriedly, "Boss, we have to get out of here right now." He quickly explained, "We don't have the ability to travel through space right now. We can only shuttle through space, which means we can't stop yet. If we stop, we'll get lost in space."
Wei Huan was indeed not very familiar with the space, so he nodded and signaled Jacques to let the chariot continue moving forward.
However, to be on the safe side, he placed the Lord of the Demon Eye in front of the car and crossed over first.
The chariot then followed closely behind and passed through.
However, his vision saw the true appearance of the other world first.
Just like the scene in the video, this is an underground world like an abyss. The sky is dark and without light, and naturally there is no starlight. The volcano emitting hot heat is the source of light, so the whole world is visibly red.
The air was filled with the stench of sulfur and dark energy. This was a dark force that burned with heat and incinerated everything. It was different from the cold and sharp netherworld power that Wei Huan practiced. It wasn't very comfortable, but it wouldn't restrain him either.
On the crisscrossing lava, there were many demons running, jumping and walking. At a glance, the number was no less than 100,000, and there were also some demons that looked very powerful.
These powerful demons were burning with black flames. Some had human form, while others had beast form. However, most of them had ferocious faces like beasts, and had a pair of black horns on their heads.
Wei Huan also discovered that the more magic patterns they had on their bodies, the stronger their aura was. There were at least hundreds of such big demons.
However, compared to the army in the video that seemed to number hundreds of millions, it was far less.
Wei Huan didn't know for a moment whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. There were fewer demons here, but Mu Zhong was under a lot of pressure.
I hope the trap left by Mu Zhong can clear out a wave of demons.
Moreover, the defenders had a great advantage. Plus, they were close to the boundary gate and could evacuate at any time if they couldn't win. So Wei Huan was not too worried.
Therefore, what he needs to focus on right now is how to find the enemy's pain point as quickly as possible and kill them until they are forced to change their plan and return to support. That will not only resolve the crisis on Mu Zhong's side, but also bring them closer to victory.
These thoughts may seem numerous, but they are just Wei Huan's fleeting thoughts after seeing this world.
He has won countless battles, and when it comes to large-scale world wars, no one in the world of mankind is more experienced than him.
So while they were thinking about this, Wei Huan had already ordered Dian Ma to release its descendants.
The dogs, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren flew out first, and more ground beasts quickly flew out from their abdomens, and these ground beasts released the facehuggers again.
The number doubled terrifyingly, and in the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth were filled with facehuggers flying in the air. Like a white ocean, they surrounded the huge earth beast that was as tall as the sky and the earth, and rolled forward.
A battlefield of this magnitude is enough for Dian Ma to handle.
Such a big commotion naturally alarmed the demon army that stayed here.
The demons let out shrill roars, and amidst the continuous howls, the demon army actually gathered together in an orderly manner and rushed towards the army of earth beasts.
The two forces of black and white collided with each other, and instantly entered into a fierce life-and-death struggle.
Through this battle, Wei Huan also gained a basic understanding of the strength of these remaining demons.
It is almost at the same level as the Monster World, with an average strength of five or six, and most of them are level five. They are no match for the army of Earth Beasts.
However, there are also several high-level demons among them, whose strength should be close to level seven. Ordinary ground beasts and face huggers are no match for them. They have tough skin and powerful strength, as well as a kind of fighting skill that looks quite pleasing to the eye. It is so wild that Wei Huan feels like he is seeing Xu Qingqiang fighting.
Xu Qingqiang relied on his strong blood-sucking ability and fought on the battlefield. Gradually, he developed his own way of killing. Every move he made was full of strength, and he was as cool as chopping necks and ripping hearts. No punch was superfluous, and naturally every kick could kill.
This fighting skill, gained from killing, is extremely powerful, with every punch hitting the flesh.
These great demons actually felt the same way. Wei Huan's level six Earth Beast and Facehugger couldn't withstand a single blow from their killing skills, shattering into skeletal fragments that scattered across the ground.
However, ordinary level six undead are no match for them, and they are no match for the elite queen series.
Gouzi just brought his grandchildren and great-grandchildren to throw out a few green death nets. The big devil who was so cool just now suddenly became a "meal on the table" and was hunted down.
Among them, a facehugger with a body as bright red as amber was crawling around in the big net, and its movements were particularly eye-catching.
It could easily leave marks on the big demon's skin, which ordinary facehuggers could not tear apart. It circled around the big demon with a "chirping" sound, and the demon's blood flowed all over the ground.
As soon as it left, the undead army rushed forward, tore these big demons into pieces and killed them all.
But I didn't see any real level 7 demons. I guess they were taken to the main battlefield?
There are only a group of demons left here, even if they are at level six perfection, they are not at level seven, and they are no match for Wei Huan at all.
The Facehugger army was vast and powerful, capable of confronting the garrison head-on, not to mention the Nether Phoenix that constantly hovered in the other dimension, unfolding its Nether Realm. Furthermore, the Demonic Eye, with its nine muscle tails, caused hallucinations in any enemy within its sight, and sometimes even a moment's delay in seeing an opponent's attack could be fatal.
With the assistance of two pseudo-god-level undead, it took the facehugger army only about ten minutes to occupy the area and kill all the demons.
Not a single one was left.
The small chariot slowly fell from the crack in the air. By the time it actually landed on the land, the undead army had been completely wiped out, and there were only countless corpses in the lava-covered underground.
Wei Huan was standing on the balcony of the chariot, his eyes fixed on the body of the nearest big demon, and he stretched out his arms to grab it.
He caught a shadow in the void and held it loosely in his palm, but the shadow kept bumping around in his palm but couldn't be knocked out.
Wei Huan held it up horizontally and looked down.
In the ball of black flame held in the palm of his hand, there was a creature with a thick tail behind it. Its body was as strong as a human, but its face was grinning like the soul of an evil beast. It was flying around in the palm of his hand like smoke, with its fangs and claws bared.
Wei Huan thought of something and threw the soul of the big demon to a Shuroma.
Following Wei Huan's order, Shuroma ate the soul of the great demon and fused it. The next second, his aura increased, and he evolved from an ordinary Shuroma into an epic undead in the blink of an eye.
His aura became stronger, but his appearance did not change. He just looked more powerful and majestic, with skin so dark that it seemed as if oil could drip out of it. As dark energy circulated around his body, one could see flickering flashes of light like black lightning.
This is the power of destruction.
Shuroma's destructive power increased.
The power of destruction is a kind of law power. Shuroma is born with the power of destruction, and is more aggressive towards the enemy. Even some defenses that other undead cannot destroy can be easily done by Shuroma with the blessing of the power of destruction.
However, the Shuroma themselves were a low-level race in the Dark Beast World, and after becoming undead, they lost even their already limited intelligence. Therefore, since Wei Huan recruited them, their destructive power could not be improved through training, but could only be enhanced with each advancement.
Now, this Shuroma has eaten a level six top-grade demon. Not only has his level been raised, becoming an epic hero, but more importantly, his law of destruction has been significantly improved, surpassing the Shuroma that has become a legendary level after eating the black dragon's soul.
Yes, eating monsters can strengthen the body. If you eat demons that also have dark energy, it will naturally increase your control over the dark system.
Different worlds will give different evolutionary directions. If they were all the same, what would be the need for the demon clan to occupy them?
I just don’t know what the Tianyao clan can get from these two worlds?
Wei Huan's original intention was to let Shuroma eat the soul of this great demon, and then send it back to the tomb to crush it and nourish the soil of the tomb.
But now it seems that it is not necessary.
Since he can improve directly, he might as well do it faster. He needs higher combat effectiveness now. The enemy is an army of hundreds of millions of demons, which is a hundred times the number of the undead army in his hands. The human wave tactics are doomed to fail, so he can only adopt a high-quality elite troops strategy.
Wei Huan caught some more souls and fed them to Shuroma, but he didn't stay for long. Jacques told him, "They're moving."
Wei Huan nodded, fed the last big demon he had captured to Shuroma, and ordered, "Let's go!"
The chariot flew in one direction, and Dian Ma, who was left behind, quickly shrank and turned into a small white jellyfish the size of a fist. It swam onto the chariot and finally landed on Wei Huan's shoulder.
At the same time, the Nether Phoenix had already stopped on Wei Huan's other shoulder. The two pseudo-god-level undead released rich Netherworld energy to help Wei Huan recover his Netherworld power.
Others couldn't stand it and stayed away from it.
Even the main team that had been with Wei Huan for a long time could not get close to Wei Huan at this time, not even Jacques, the "Fallen Elf" who was also from the dark system.
But at least Jacques could stand on the balcony, his face tense, his eyes golden like an eagle's, his sight unfocused, looking towards the unknown.
He said, "A big demon led twelve demons in the same direction."
"Follow closely."
"yes."
Wei Huan's left eye still flickered with green flames. The Demon Eye Lord was perched on the roof of the car, acting as his eye, allowing him to see farther. However, the demons were of high rank, so they couldn't get too close, rendering the Demon Eye Lord useless for the time being.
The Ghost Crow Army has been released, but when it comes to gathering intelligence, it is definitely not as good as Jacques with the "Eagle Eye" ability. The Ghost Crow Army is not smart enough and is also lacking in intelligence analysis. In this strange world, every second counts and a second of delay may lead to endless changes, not to mention waiting for the Ghost Crows to return, which is more than a second slow.
For a long time, neither of them spoke.
The chariot simply followed the 13 demons they had deliberately let go from a distance, waiting for them to lead them to any place.
It could be the place where the Demon King of this world is, or it could be the space rift opened by the three-headed sky demon clan. It would be better than them wandering around in an unfamiliar place.
However, after following them for an hour, Wei Huan realized that these 13 demons were probably not going to the location of the Heavenly Demon, so he became hesitant.
Tian Yao brought the demon army to the monster world. I wonder if Mu Zhong can hold on?
"Boss," Jacques suddenly spoke up, realizing the problem. "The Sky Demon Clan was able to send an army of over a hundred million demons to another spatial rift in less than a day. That place shouldn't be too far away. We're moving quite fast, but an hour has already passed. I'm afraid we're heading to a different place."
Wei Huan pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds and said, "Continue to follow."
"Boss Mu's place?"
"We can't find them if they don't go." Wei Huan said this in a deep voice, "It's not easy to enter the Challenge World."
Jacques thought about it and realized it made sense. "Challenging worlds has its own rules. If beings from other worlds could freely enter and exit other challenge worlds, these rules would become a joke. There are probably more than one powerful race like the Sky Demon Clan on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield, otherwise the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield would have ended long ago. Since the Sky Demon Clan clearly knows where we come from but hasn't entered our challenge world to cause trouble, I think no matter how powerful they are, they can't enter."
After Jacques's analysis, he became more and more convinced: "Boss Mu and Commander Fang are at the garrison base, guarding that space channel, which makes them invincible."
Wei Huan didn't say anything. This was something he had thought of a long time ago. The reason he was still hesitating was naturally because he was too concerned.
After calming himself down, Wei Huan said, "Keep a close eye on them. If they separate, tell me."
"yes."
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
There is no sunrise or sunset in the demon world, but the chariot has its own time. The time system in this demon world is the same as that in the monster world, which is 1:2 times that of the challenge world.
At the same time, it feels like the world is about the same size, just like the back of the monster world, one in the light, one in the dark, one above, one below, just like a pair of twins. Perhaps this also proves that light and darkness coexist, and time runs parallel.
However, this big demon has not reached its destination yet. From the rapid run at the beginning to the stop-and-go walking now, Wei Huan has gradually become a little impatient.
Big Foot offered a suggestion: "Boss, how about trying soul searching?"
Wei Huan looked at him in confusion. What soul search? How come he didn’t know he had this ability?
Big Foot said, "Aren't all the demons and monsters coming out now? In the novels and TV shows I've watched before, they all show people killing people and searching their souls. They say that the soul can't hold on and will turn to ashes. But didn't you know what you wanted to know right away?"
Wei Huan remained silent because he didn't know how.
The further you go on the road to the underworld, the more you realize that there are still many things you have not mastered.
He can neither recruit heroic spirits nor search souls.
But he was not in a hurry. Just like a small tree growing, it is destined to sprout branches and leaves at a certain stage. This is the stage he must go through in order to grow vigorously and finally become a towering tree.
So after a few seconds of silence, he nodded: "You can try."
The 13 demons in front naturally could not be disturbed, so Wei Huan slowed down the chariot, found a demon nest, killed the strongest demon in the nest, and captured its soul in his hand.
He had just turned his spiritual consciousness into a thread and pierced it into the demon's soul. The demon's soul stiffened and trembled, struggling in pain for a while, and then the soul swelled rapidly and burst like a balloon.
Wei Huan was slightly stunned.
Big Foot said, "The beginning is always the hardest. I'll go down and hunt demons for you."
Big Foot has the ability to teleport. If he sees a demon with a strong aura lurking in the mountains, he can teleport there and kill it instantly.
Three seconds later, he appeared in front of the chariot again and brought the demon's warm body to Wei Huan.
Wei Huan raised his hand and captured the demon's soul. After a few seconds of hesitation, his spiritual consciousness turned into thinner threads and penetrated into the soul's body.
After several attempts, the soul still couldn't withstand his probing and exploded in his hand.
Turning his attention back, Big Foot was already waiting in front with his Sky Bug Squad, carrying the corpses of three demons.
"Boss, you focus on your research and leave the hunting to us."
Wei Huan apprehended the three demon souls and said, "Thank you."
Big Foot grinned broadly: "Just give me your orders."
For a moment, everyone in the chariot had his own things to do.
Jacques followed the 13 demons, controlling the chariot to speed up and slow down to keep following.
Big Foot led people to hunt demons for Wei Huan and helped him research a method of searching souls. Wei Huan had never used it before, and Challenge World had not taught him, but that did not mean he could not use it. He could control and explore the same method of playing with souls.
Once you successfully master the method of soul searching, you will no longer be afraid of the secrets of the strange world.
As for Hammer Brother, he always stays by Wei Huan's side. As the last line of defense, he will not move easily and dare not slack off in the slightest.
Everyone had something to do at once, and although they were a little tired, the time was not so unbearable.
Otherwise, Wei Huan, who had nothing to do, would always think about Mu Zhong, the other battlefield, and whether what he did was right or wrong.
This is wrong. Once a decision is made, it cannot be easily changed. He has been in charge of the army until now, relying on his decisiveness that others can hardly imitate. Whether he is right or wrong, he will not let himself regret it.
Even though he knew that Mu Zhong would be fine, he was still worried about him. Unknowingly, Mu Zhong had been integrated into his bones and blood and could no longer be separated.
Therefore, even though he knew that everything was fine, he still had to rush back as soon as possible. Only when he saw with his own eyes that Mu Zhong was safe could he feel at ease.
I must uncover the mystery of the soul as soon as possible and find where those memories are.
In this way, Wei Huan devoted himself to the research in his hands. All 23 Sky Bugs went out and kept bringing him the corpses of the dead demons. From day to night, and then from night to day, the Sky Bugs worked around the clock, their faces haggard and tired. Wei Huan also stood on the balcony for a day and a night.
I can’t say I’m tired. If time wasn’t so urgent, it would feel great to immerse myself in research and explore the secrets bit by bit.
Wei Huan was initially concerned about the situation on another battlefield, but now that he was completely immersed in it, he had forgotten the passage of time.
This feels like cultivation. The deeper you sink, the more you enter a certain state.
Until he reached this extreme of concentration, the last "seed of enlightenment" buried deep in Wei Huan's soul suddenly exploded.
Wei Huan felt that his head suddenly became clear, and the thread of his spiritual consciousness, which had been so thin that it could not be thinner, suddenly exploded like a flower, and flew out spiritual consciousness that was countless times smaller than a nanometer.
These spiritual consciousnesses were like willow catkins, dancing without wind, slowly spreading out, and then, under Wei Huan's control, pierced into the demon soul in his hand with extreme ferocity.
The demon's body suddenly stiffened and began to tremble, and just like before, its soul began to swell, as if it was about to explode.
But during this process, countless broken images appeared in front of Wei Huan's eyes like a kaleidoscope.
Done!
In the end, the demon soul could not bear the pain of having its soul stirred and spied on, and it exploded with a "puff", and its soul disappeared into thin air.
“Hmm!”
Wei Huan shook his head. Caught off guard, his mind and soul were slightly disturbed and his head ached.
"Boss?" Hammer Brother appeared and spoke with some concern.
Wei Huan raised his hand to stop Hammer Brother from helping him. After he calmed down, the headache quickly subsided. When he stood up again, his eyes gleamed: "Go kill those 13 demons. We don't need them anymore."
The soul-searching technique has been mastered, and from now on, there will be no more secrets for him in this world!
