Chapter 339 Malice from the World
"You have so little confidence in me?"
Mu Zhong looked at the confidence between Wei Huan's eyebrows and smiled. "I was wrong. Worrying too much can lead to confusion. I have great confidence in you. No one can match your depth in the path of death. It's only a matter of time before you overthrow the laws of this world."
Wei Huan smiled: "Telling them so they can be prepared in advance. This world strongly rejects us, and my combat effectiveness has been weakened."
"How much weakened?"
"I'm not sure, but I think half of it should be there. We'll know after we try it first."
"so much?"
Mu Zhong was obviously worried when he left.
No one expected that when they reached the eighth-level world, the world's will would reject Wei Huan, which was equivalent to taking away the most powerful weapon of the human assault army. Not only did the attack power decrease, but the death force in this world also intended to invade humans. If things went wrong, all members would be destroyed. He had not experienced such a disadvantageous world for a long time.
However, Wei Huan watched Mu Zhong leave, but his thoughts were completely different from Mu Zhong's.
The new and different law of death has penetrated deep into the framework of the world. The power of death is far more profound than his own. In his eyes, although it is like a giant suppressing him and making him extremely uncomfortable, it has given him a new direction and goal.
Study it, learn it, surpass it. Just when he doesn't know how to proceed, is there a better "teacher" than this?
Sooner or later he will stand on the shoulders of this "giant" and see his own "Tao".
The ghost crows quickly dispersed and found the first silver treasure chest.
Wei Huan did not open it, but asked Gui Ya to find the bronze treasure chest first and open that treasure chest first.
Wei Huan was very glad that he had played it safe and did not open the silver treasure chest.
His overall strength was suppressed by the will of the world, and the undead became extremely "lazy" and "slow". Even the pseudo-god-level undead leader had his combat effectiveness reduced by half. Facing a bronze-level treasure chest monster, it actually took an epic level seven running wolf to go all out to kill it.
The strength has been weakened too much.
According to this standard, I am afraid that if I open a silver treasure chest, I will need a pseudo-god-level hero to deal with it?
Wei Huan frowned, feeling a sense of urgency.
The biggest challenge of the assessment road is not the treasure chests on the road and the survivors you meet by the way. As long as you are not greedy, these battles can be avoided. The most dangerous thing about the road assessment is the monster tribes that refresh and descend from time to time.
They now have 100,000 men in their chariots, and they will surely descend upon the king-level tribe.
The combat power of the leader of a king-level tribe is equivalent to that of a gold-level treasure chest. Perhaps the god-level Dian Ma can withstand the combat power of the king-level, but the most fatal reason why this world restrains Wei Huan is that as undead, they are not afraid of toxins, especially skeletons. Dian Ma's ability is equivalent to being directly destroyed.
Furthermore, since it was a "tribe," there would be more than one monster appearing. Countless enemies would rush at them, and they wouldn't have the strength to resist...
"Wei Huan," Mu Zhong suddenly said over the phone, "We've already discussed this with everyone. You should focus on comprehending the laws of the world, and leave the rest of the battle to us."
Wei Huan, who was about to take on everything, was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
Then Mu Zhong said, "We have two Level 8 vehicles. Captain Xue and Dou Lin have both advanced to Sequence 7. With everyone's hard work and coordination, we won't be afraid even if we encounter a King-level tribe."
Wei Huan didn't say much, just looked at Mu Zhong deeply, then nodded: "Okay."
Yes, these are comrades-in-arms and companions.
Even the strongest will eventually tire, and this is a challenge to the world, where smooth sailing won't last forever. When Wei Huan couldn't hold on any longer, everyone naturally came to his aid, letting him take a breather or giving him time to improve. After all, he had companions, not fighting alone.
Wei Huan did not try to show off his strength. He did not know when the king-level tribe would refresh, so he had to adjust his state before that, at least to avoid being suppressed so harshly.
After no longer forcing himself to open the boxes, the tank avoided most of the battles while moving forward.
As long as you don't deliberately open boxes or kill the remnant tribes, it is actually not difficult to assess the highway.
Even if the randomly refreshed monsters are endless, they will not always be king-level tribes. Most of the time, there are more ordinary elites and small leaders. Wei Huan does not necessarily have to deal with them. His crew is enough to handle most situations on this assessment road.
At this moment, Wei Huan truly felt the help from the crew.
He is no longer the only one pulling and dragging others, but he can also be helped and protected.
Wei Huan, feeling relieved, completely handed the challenge task to Mu Zhong, and began to practice in the commander's room.
Cultivation is not difficult. Since you know that your goal is to adapt to, resist, or even reversely invade the law of death in this world, you just need to find the law of this world first and try to feel it.
He released his spiritual consciousness from his body, spreading it around him, and used his spiritual tentacles to touch the laws in the atmosphere.
The whole process was dull and tedious. The key point was that for a long time, he didn't feel anything. It was just that the suppression on his body was so obvious, constantly reminding him that the law of death did exist, but was hidden. He didn't dig deep enough and didn't look carefully enough, so he couldn't feel anything.
It was this kind of belief that supported Wei Huan, who kept breaking through his own limits, transforming his spiritual consciousness into extremely extreme threads and exploring deeper. Finally, at some unknown time, he saw the light gray power of the law floating in the atmosphere, like smoke.
Just being this obvious is not enough. The power of these laws is too weak. They just exist there, and one can vaguely perceive them. However, if one wants to study them, learn them, or even invade them in return, it is still a long way off.
Wei Huan's eyes were slightly narrowed, bloodshot appeared in his eyes, and green flames were burning in his pupils.
Sweat streamed from his forehead. As he observed more deeply, the resistance became stronger and stronger, as if the will of the world had sensed his disrespectful intentions and was actively releasing power to suppress him.
Wei Huan's body couldn't stop shaking.
But he is still alive, he is still going on, and he knows very well that this is just a battle of wills.
Although what he was fighting against was a crushing existence like a giant, but this giant was sleeping!
All the resistance, all the targeting, all the pain are nothing but the backlash you suffer in the process of getting closer.
Rather than losing to it.
His body was shaking like a sieve, beads of sweat were dripping down, Wei Huan's eyes, which were dancing with green flames, were bloodshot, and his expression was almost ferocious.
Wei Huan is stubborn and has reasons that he absolutely cannot give up.
He kept insisting, not backing down even in pain, and moving closer little by little until the gray mist in front of him suddenly grew larger!
Wei Huan felt himself stumble, as if he fell into a long passage. He rolled and fell dizzy, falling and falling. When he reached the bottom, his eyes suddenly opened up!
He saw a universe made up of countless black chains.
The chains were large and small, crisscrossed and entangled, stretching straight. He didn't know where they came from or where they were going. It was like seeing a strand of hair on a cheetah, so tiny and so shocking.
Is this the law of death?
Wei Huan looked at the thickest chain among them, and felt as if he was as small as an ant, but saw the huge wheels of a truck rolling past him.
He tried to touch it, but found that he could never get close. After trying for a long time, he had to turn his attention to other, smaller chains.
This time, he picked a chain that was about the same size as himself and tried to move closer. He soon discovered that his netherworld power seemed to be sucked away and poured into the chain uncontrollably.
As a result, a small piece of spiritual consciousness could be wrapped around the chain that was originally untouchable and would cause pain to the spiritual consciousness.
Is that so? Wei Huan found a way to plunder the law.
He wasn't sure whether it was right or wrong, but he had to give it a try.
He injected more Netherworld power into it, and gradually one link of the chain was tainted with his breath. However, looking at the chain that did not change, he looked left and right uncertainly at the two ends of the chain that stretched to the end of the boundless world, as well as those larger chains that were like giant wheels.
If all the chains were to be imbued with my own aura... the thought is a little suffocating.
But it is a solution after all, and until there is no other way, we have no choice but to continue like this.
Over the next period of time, Wei Huan consumed a large amount of Netherworld Power, and also released Dian Ma and Ya Jie to build up the Netherworld Power. Finally, he invaded the five rings on the chain and turned it into his own aura.
Just when Wei Huan was hesitating and didn't know whether to continue, he discovered something different.
The first ring that I had stained actually had cracks on it!!
The moment the crack appeared, Wei Huan's mind buzzed and everything became clear.
Yes, what he needs most right now is not to invade and plunder the natural laws of this world, but to get rid of the shackles on himself.
These chains are shackles that trap him tightly and suppress him severely, so his strength cannot be restored.
What he needed to do now was to use his netherworld power to corrode these shackles and regain his freedom.
As for reverse control of power, it is indeed not the most important thing for me at the moment.
With a direction, Wei Huan was full of energy. He didn't know how long it took, but when he "corroded" the tenth ring, the first ring finally couldn't bear the weight and cracked.
“Crash!”
The chain broke, flew in both directions, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Wei Huan only felt that his body seemed to be a little lighter.
Very good, the suppression has finally been lifted a little!!
Wei Huan successfully woke up from his practice, opened his eyes and looked at the time, and found that four days had passed.
"Awake? You look like you've gained something." Mu Zhong's voice sounded in his ears. Wei Huan turned to look over, and Mu Zhong's figure was enlarged in the communicator, so large that he could see the dark circles under his eyes at a glance.
It seems a lot has happened in the past few days.
"What's wrong?" Wei Huan looked at him worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Mu Zhong smiled with his eyes curved: "It's good. I just killed a king-level monster not long ago."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows.
Mu Zhong said with a hint of taking credit: "Yes, a king-level monster. Fortunately, you are a lone ranger, not a tribe, otherwise I would have to wake you up.
Actually, we considered whether to call you at the beginning, but everyone wanted to give it a try. After all, we have two level eight vehicles, especially our main battle tank, which has a level nine net-casting component, and the monster happened to be mainly physical.
Anyway, after a day of dealing with it, with you and Brother Qiang absent, we all worked together to kill this king-level monster."
After saying this, Mu Zhong's eyebrows lit up, showing visible pride and joy: "Everyone is celebrating, do you want to come?"
Wei Huan was surprised and happy, and finally nodded: "Okay."
However, Wei Huan found out later that this battle was not all happy events. 13 tanks were accidentally destroyed in the battle, five of whose crew members died on the spot, and the other eight crew members who were rescued were all seriously injured.
With the strength of Sequence Six, encountering a king-level monster from the Level Eight world, being able to come back alive is already very lucky.
The difference in strength between the two sides was so great that, without a chariot, the wind created by the king-level monster running alone was enough to knock down a Sequence Six challenger.
There were casualties among the King-level Lone Ranger alone. If the King-level tribe were to refresh, not to mention the crew members, even if Wei Huan took action, he would probably suffer the same casualties under the pressure.
Wei Huan felt so heartbroken at the sacrifice of these five crew members that it felt like a piece of flesh was being cut off.
Among human beings, those who can reach this point are all the best selected from thousands, true geniuses, and the pillars of the future of the human race.
So Wei Huan, who had gone out happily, came back with a stern face and left a message: "If a king-level monster appears again, be sure to call me."
So he started practicing again.
This time, seeing the "Iron Chain Universe" was much simpler. As soon as I calmed down, I could see the iron chains that penetrated the heaven and earth.
Wei Huan did not rashly touch the giant chain, but found the same or smaller chain to "corrode".
He didn't have much time, and the thick iron chain would definitely not be cut in a short time. It would be better to destroy what could be destroyed first, and then take it slowly after passing this assessment and reaching the real eighth-level world.
Wei Huan had a clear mind, knew what was important, and was not greedy for credit. This time, he used much less time than before and easily corroded the second chain.
Practice makes perfect, and Wei Huan gradually became proficient in corroding the chains. He could even corrode two or three chains at the same time if his dark power could support it.
With the sound of "clattering", the pressure on Wei Huan was indeed relieved a little.
Of course, Wei Huan didn't have the ability to fight against the "fossilized" Law of Death yet. Unlocking the small chain was just a minor detail.
If one were to quantify the changes Wei Huan had undergone since arriving in this world, it would be fair to say that his strength had been reduced to only 30%. Each time a small chain was broken, it unlocked 0.1%. Now, thanks to his efforts, his strength had finally been raised to 32.2%.
Not much, but definitely better than before.
Moreover, at a glance, there are still many chains of this thickness, which means that he can recover a lot of strength in a short time. Not to mention recovering all of it, as long as he recovers 60% of his strength, he can still defeat the royal tribe if it comes.
Unfortunately, reality waits for no one, and Wei Huan was awakened by Mu Zhong.
When he was woken up by Mu Zhong, he knew that it was not a good thing, but after Mu Zhong told him that it was indeed the refresh of the royal tribe, he still couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
The time is still too short.
It would be good if he could untie all chains of the same thickness and restore his strength by 3 to 5 points.
After quickly tidying up his condition, Wei Huan did not leave the commander's room, but directly opened a portal outside the car and released the Demon Eye Lord first.
Vision descends.
Tsk! Even the five senses have weakened?
This suppression is quite comprehensive.
Wei Huan tried hard to adapt to being deprived of most of his five senses, and at the same time looked outside the car.
The tanks have been driving on the assessment road for the sixth day. There are only three days left until the end of the assessment, and they are not far from the 80th line.
After traveling like this and fighting monsters, I gained a good understanding of the environment of the eighth-level world.
This is a hilly world.
The hilly world is very friendly to humans. The third-level world is a hilly world with mountains and rivers. It is in that world that humans built the first big city as a major city where primary challengers gather and live.
But that is only the "living" hilly world that provides humans with a comfortable living experience. The "dead" world before us only makes people want to escape.
The sky is a constant gray, without day or night, always a vague color between black and white.
All the plants on the earth have withered. Some large trees, with only dry trunks left, look shaky, but they are still standing with their fangs and claws bared, and their trunks are covered with a thick layer of ash.
Some ghost birds hung on the trees like bats, some were left with only shriveled flesh and white bones, while others had half of their heads missing, with their eyeballs hanging out. Occasionally, when they moved, their eyeballs would shake non-stop.
The chariot passed over their heads, the ghost birds flew up, the wind blew away the few remaining leaves on the trees, and the ghost energy lingered.
There was a rustling sound coming from under the dead tree. Looking closely, I saw a group of pitch-black snakes running through the dead grass.
First, there were some tiny snakes. Except that they were undead, they were similar to the snakes on the blue planet. They had ferocious triangular heads and looked very vicious.
Immediately afterwards, even larger snakes appeared. These snakes could not be seen on Blue Star. Their bodies were thicker than three people and more than a hundred meters long. Although they were also undead, their scales were neatly arranged, exuding a sense of heaviness, and their defense should be strong.
There are many such giant snakes. Some of them move forward while crawling on the ground, while others stand up, with a height of more than 20 meters. Their triangular heads hang down, and when they stare with their shriveled eyes, they are extremely terrifying.
However, these are not the things that Wei Huan should pay attention to, but the snake man who is wandering behind and driving the snakes forward.
The lower half is a snake, and the upper body is a human, and there are both male and female, which are very similar to the gender characteristics of humans. Their height when standing is mostly around three meters, but if the snake tail dragging behind them is included, their body length exceeds seven or eight meters.
Snake people are not uncommon in the myths of Blue Star. In fact, there are shadows of snake people in many ancient myths.
For example, the Naga people who live by the sea are a type of snake-people. Medusa, the most famous figure in Western mythology, is also a snake-people. In addition, Nuwa in the legend of Daxia also appears in the form of a snake-people.
Therefore, when this snake man, which is extremely consistent with the impression of human mythology, really appears before your eyes, it will give people a strong sense of shock.
Wei Huan's gaze remained on these snake-men who looked like zombies and had spots of decay on their bodies for a long time. After all, when the gender characteristics are similar to those of humans, there will be a certain impact.
This has nothing to do with sexual activity. Who would have thoughts when seeing a corpse? I'm not a pervert.
But it is impossible to ignore the shock. It is like a mixture of myth and imagination, and it is served on the table in an extremely absurd manner. It is difficult to look away.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
At this time, the artillery fire of war has sounded, and the chariots and long-range fighters are fighting with the snake group in front. With the appearance of the snake people, the melee fighters are also eager to try.
Wei Huan's undead army also appeared.
Like these snake tribes, the dark beast undead from the same group made a grand appearance and rushed into the snake group.
Their strength is indeed very weak. Among the undead controlled by Wei Huan himself, the weakest one is at the level of Sequence Six. Depending on the star level, the strength gap is also very large.
However, when encountering the most common snake monsters, it often takes two or three level six wolves to tear them apart.
The hundred-meter-long snake was like a small boss, its skin thick and flesh thick, making it difficult for the undead to inflict damage on it. However, it simply swung its head, and with a casual swing, several undead returned to the tomb. Its tail twisted a few more times, killing several more undead.
As for the snake people who particularly attracted Wei Huan's attention, they were actually divided into melee and ranged types.
The melee fighters use spears or swords and cooperate with each other to strangle the undead that rush in front of them, while the long-range snakemen holding bows and arrows assist the snake group.
Wei Huan was extremely uncomfortable being beaten by a mere king-level tribe.
The lower-level undead he summoned were useless and became cannon fodder.
As for the reincarnated undead, they can't even be a stumbling block on the roadside. The aftermath of the battle alone is enough to kill them.
My strength has been reduced too much, I am constrained everywhere, and I feel extremely uncomfortable!
"call out--"
“Boom!!”
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
Of course, this battle was not fought by Wei Huan alone. When countless arrows and magic sparks flew overhead and exploded among the snakes, Wei Huan looked at the snakemen who fell down and knew that he had comrades behind him.
The most powerful long-range weapon is a war platform based on a level eight tank, and each shot can take away countless snake lives.
Among them, Jacques and Alfonso were the most outstanding.
Alfonso is the thunder mage who obtained the "Mage Tower". He is from Kangaroo Country and was able to get on the bus only after getting Xia Yu's guarantee. He is a petite woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.
She has a close relationship with Xia Yu and they are in love. Influenced by Xia Yu, she has completely regarded herself as a member of the chariot. Not only is she in charge of the [Mage Tower], she is now also responsible for the training of the wise man on Wei Huan's chariot.
She is smart and studious, and has reached the seventh floor of the Mage Tower. She is the only mage who has reached the seventh floor, and her theoretical knowledge is stronger than the actual sequence.
Her lightning magic was truly astonishing, and the lightning magic could somewhat restrain the undead magic. After a long-awaited blow, a rumbling thunder sounded, and the snake people within a three-kilometer radius on the battlefield fell one after another, becoming charred and dying instantly.
Alfonso launched three consecutive lightning attacks, and countless figures fell under the electric net of lightning threads. Wei Huan felt the pressure eased, and the undead that had been unable to be defeated for a long time finally moved forward.
