Chapter 346: Three Visits to the Dark Beast Plane
These ghosts helped Wei Huan increase his mental attacks. At the same time, they could not be locked on when attacking the enemy. In other words, it was a passive ability to continuously lose blood. Even if the damage was just scratching, it was still damage to the enemy. If the enemy covered by the field did not have a field to compete with it, its strength would be continuously suppressed.
In addition, because of the strong Netherworld power in the domain, Wei Huan's overall strength has been improved within the coverage of the domain, about 10%.
This is the case when he is suppressed. If his strength is fully restored, coupled with deeper research in the field, it would not be surprising if his strength in combat within the field increases two or three times.
After testing the changes in his strength, Wei Huan focused on the "Chain Universe" again.
This time, all that was left in front of him were chains of medium thickness and three chains as large as a giant wheel. As for the last chain that used the universe as a shell to suppress him, it was beyond his reach now. Being able to discover it was already a great improvement.
Should we do it gradually or in one big move?
Wei Huan didn't hesitate much and chose the former. He wasn't in a rush; he was prepared to spend ten or twenty years in this world. He wouldn't go to the ninth-level world until he had accumulated enough experience, so it was safer to take it slow.
Setting his eyes on the medium-thick chain, Wei Huan tried for the first time to wrap his spiritual tentacles around it, applying his netherworld power steadily and continuously, and began the simple and boring operation in the same way.
In the remaining few days, Wei Huan was busy breaking the seal, while Mu Zhong took the time to make enough "Netherworld Resistance Totems" and distributed them to the team members who were going to the Dark Beast World together next.
They don't have much time left to adapt to the field. We can't let Wei Huan be restricted for everyone's sake. This is putting the cart before the horse. The core of the chariot has always been Wei Huan, and it can only be him.
Naturally, the others also had to adapt to their current combat effectiveness. Recently, perhaps because of entering the eighth-level world, everyone had made a significant breakthrough. Although not many people had broken through to sequence seven, most people had achieved a small advancement.
Four days passed in a flash, and it was time for the opening match.
Wei Huan was stuck in a bug. The CD for entering and exiting the challenge world should be ten days. He had only arrived four days ago and was not allowed to leave the challenge world.
However, teleporting to the opening battle battlefield was not one of them. When the last number of the countdown fell, Wei Huan's chariot and 100,000 people were all sent to the opening battle.
This time, there were no other challenging armies in the opening battle.
It's a waste of time to come here. The Dark Beast Lords had already fallen behind when they were at level six, and now they have been left far behind by Wei Huan, and they are no longer qualified to participate.
Although the Dark Beast Lords would be notified and could choose whether to participate in the opening battle, what difference would it make if they did? With an average level of only five, encountering Wei Huan would be like a gust of wind from his domain, and they would be slaughtered clean.
Even death is not that quick.
The opening battle of the seventh-level world is an example. After entering the battlefield, Wei Huan's chariots rushed forward and killed the enemy at the end of the level. The logistics chariots of the challenging army had not yet set off, and Wei Huan's chariots in front pushed to the enemy's base camp. The opening battle ended there. The preparations for half a month were costly and laborious, but in vain.
This time, only Wei Huan came in with one chariot, and in order to avoid being slowed down by other chariots, he passed the level quickly. The time saved was the time for the "Brave Challenge" and the time for "purchasing goods", and there must be no delay!
This is indeed the case.
After being teleported into the opening battlefield: the Tomb of God, Wei Huan didn't even wait to see what the battlefield looked like before his chariot rushed forward with smoke coming out. He didn't need to save fuel and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, going as fast as he could.
Only after he had run a thousand miles in one breath and left the human base camp did Wei Huan have time to look outside.
It is no different from the eighth-level world. Looking at the lifeless earth, the sky is covered with dark fog, which seems to be thick, but it is made up of countless souls. Therefore, if you stare at it for a long time, it seems as if your soul is sucked in and becomes one of them.
This battlefield might have some tricks, such as going insane if you stay too long, being hard to heal if injured, suppressing the light system, etc. However, all these arrangements are useless now. The careful preparations have been given to the blind man, the dark beasts dare not come in, and Wei Huan will not stay for long, so all the traps are useless.
An ancient battlefield was designed in the middle of the battlefield, with petrified corpses all over the ground, carved in the image of humans and dark beasts. The number of casualties was in the billions and it was difficult to estimate. It was so tragic that it seemed as if they had died together.
The wind from the speeding chariot blew away the dust from the petrified corpses, and rolled up a sky full of flying ashes. The dusk ashes swirled and chased the chariot for a while, and then dispersed.
The chariot has reached the other end of the battlefield, the territory of the Dark Beast Lord.
There are indeed several territories of the Dark Beast Lords on the battlefield ahead, standing alone. What good can there be in a territory that is not even level five?
Wei Huan now has a broad vision. Looking at these third and fourth level territories, they are not even as good as the wooden houses in the mountains. The chariot did not slow down or take a detour, but kept moving forward. If anyone happened to be in his path, they would be blown to death by the wind.
In less than two hours, Wei Huan saw the familiar Dark Beast Clan base again.
Cars are not allowed to enter the square paved with black tiles. Once a car enters this area, it will be forced back to the gray space and everyone will have to walk.
This step is designed to increase the difficulty of the "siege war". By taking away the human chariots, the dark beasts will lose their territory and fight bare-chested with real swords and guns, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The design of the opening battle must have been like this, but the two-level reversal on the human side was so powerful that they couldn't even break through the Dark Beast Lord's defense line at the beginning. Then one day they fought their way to the base camp and were no match for them. Naturally, this design was useless.
Wei Huan ordered the chariot to stop outside Black Stone Square. He took Mu Zhong and the other 98 carefully selected challengers out of the chariot and sat on the back of Dianma.
The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. Moreover, they have been here three times and have already established a fixed procedure.
After waving goodbye to the people in the chariot, they entered the Black Stone Square under their envious gazes. The Black Stone Square's vehicle ban function was naturally useless to them, and there was no blind Dark Beast Lord rushing out to stop them. They entered the square pyramid made of the same black stone smoothly.
Walking through the long corridor, Wei Huan pushed open the black stone door in front of him with both hands. The notification to challenge the world sounded at the right time, and the grand opening battle of the eighth-level world ended just like that.
"Tsk, the Tomb of the Gods, with such a grand name, ended so anticlimactically!"
"What am I expecting? Ahhhh! What on earth am I expecting?"
"Even though I shouldn't have expected it, I still feel empty inside after winning so easily."
"It's sad. I waited almost two years and finally got to see Commander Wei live, but it ended before I could even get enough of it."
"Commander Wei has become even more handsome. I find that his cold and austere temperament has only increased. He looks like a black jade chess piece immersed in an icy cold pond. I am willing to freeze to death under his black leather pants."
"How can a man be so strong, so handsome, and still so young? I say Commander Wei is the Lord of the Blue Star, and no one has any objections, right? So, can't he just go back to having three wives and four concubines?"
"Has no one noticed that the Empress is different? She has so many tentacles and bone spurs on her legs. She looks very fierce."
"Dianma, he's advanced. He was originally at the pseudo-god level, and now he's advanced to...hiss!"
"God-level?"
"I request that the authorities update the information on our Marshal Wei's strength and his undead army. I know that you in Great Xia have a habit of hiding your strength, but our Blue Star is not just one country and civilization. Our country's philosophy is to demonstrate strength and intimidate the world. Recently, some countries have been restless because our Marshal Wei is too low-key!"
"Support the update of Marshal Wei's information!"
"And the information about Marshal Wei's chariot members. We need that information!"
"That's right. Let's demonstrate our absolute strength and unify Blue Star in a high-profile manner. We've had enough of the self-righteousness of some countries. Unity is the only way out for the human race on Blue Star right now!"
Wei Huan proposed the development direction of "unification of Blue Star", and there were indeed signs of progress. However, as he stayed in the challenging world for a long time, undercurrents began to surge among countries, and they became less obedient.
The common people want unification, mainly because the people of Daxia live a good life. When they see that they have a stable society and live a life without worries about food and clothing, and then look at their own miserable lives, they all want to be like Daxia, at least they don’t have to worry about not being able to raise their children.
But those in power don't see it that way. Those used to exploiting others will suffer less if they can control them. Who wouldn't want more power? What good is "unification"? With someone watching over you, not only can you not become a local tyrant, but you might even be convicted and sentenced. It's better to just live out your life as a landlord in a corner.
There are more and more such thoughts. The situation in Blue Star has not been so stable in the past year. There are constant frictions in small places. If the Blue Star Alliance Army intervenes, it will be like a family affair that cannot be sorted out. Small frictions cannot be resolved and will gradually turn into major changes. It is not surprising that some kind of revolution will break out in the end.
Although the common people cannot see through the situation, they can feel the instability of their lives most clearly. Naturally, they hope that Marshal Wei will return with strength and give those big garbage guys a good shake.
Now, they just hope that their cries can be heard by Marshal Wei, and he can pay more attention to Blue Star. It is not enough to just focus on pioneering new land. We can't lose this "basic base" of Blue Star, right?
Wei Huan naturally couldn't see what was happening in the live broadcast room, but that didn't mean he didn't know what was happening on Blue Star right now.
Mu Zhong mentioned it to him twice, but he was too busy to do anything at the moment. Also, he was short of a "chicken" to scare the monkeys. So he had to wait and see until the chicken jumped out by itself so that he could get rid of the problem once and for all.
At the moment, the most important thing is "confrontation between civilizations."
"Civilization confrontation" is the original intention of challenging the world. It is hoped that through the life-and-death battle between two civilizations, the rapid evolution of civilization can be stimulated, and it can develop from ordinary civilization to super-powered civilization. It would be even better if it can lead to the "God's Civilization".
So no matter how far Wei Huan goes, he must not forget that their enemy is the Dark Beast Civilization.
Only by completely solving the problem of the dark beast civilization can humans break free from some of their constraints and develop freely.
This time when Wei Huan went to the Dark Beast plane, "purchasing" was secondary. He wanted to destroy the Dark Beast civilization and bury them as remnants.
Of course, it would be fine if he was just facing the Dark Beast King, but I’m afraid he would have to face the ancient god who holds up the world.
I don’t know how life and death are determined in this civilized war?
With this in mind, Wei Huan stepped into the gate of "Brave Challenge". With the release of the new mission, he and his teammates were teleported to the Dark Beast Plane.
As soon as he arrived at this seemingly familiar plane, Wei Huan looked slightly surprised.
Because with just a slight sense, he discovered that Mo Ji was actually nearby?
"Moji..." Wei Huan sensed something and instantly connected with Moji, who let out a howling cry.
It was the first time that Wei Huan heard the cry of a dead soul. No matter how alive Mo Ji was, he was still a dead horse that walked out of a tomb. The fact that he could be so happy without any worries among his seven emotions and six desires was something unique and rare for him.
I didn't expect it to cry and complain.
The communication between Mo Ji and Wei Huan was relatively smooth. Mo Ji spoke in a long-winded and stammering manner, feeling aggrieved and angry, before he explained the whole cause and effect.
By the time it finished speaking, Wei Huan had already arrived in front of Mo Ji.
Seeing Mo Ji being surrounded and chased to the point of having no way out, and almost returning to the tomb with a few remnants, Wei Huan's first move was to kill the Dark Beast King who was chasing after him.
In fact, it is simple to say. The last time Mo Ji came, he was in great glory. That was because he had just "rebelled" and his family was not poor. When facing the siege of the Dark Beast King, he was lucky enough to meet Wei Huan coming. He killed the opponent before he was killed, making him rich again.
But there are 321 Dark Beast Kings!
Over the years, Wei Huan has killed 263 royals one after another, plus a dark beast king. Isn't it easy for so many royals to kill an invader?
The saddest thing is that Wei Huan is at Sequence Seven, and the elite undead following him are also at Sequence Seven, but Mo Ji is still at Sequence Six, with no way to advance.
In recent years, several Dark Beast Kings have gathered the luck of the Dark Beast Clan and risen to Sequence Six, and Mo Ji's advantage has been completely lost.
No matter how strong he was, if he killed thousands of his subordinates today and chased them for hundreds of miles tomorrow, Mo Ji would be very upset during his nearly two years of escape.
Seeing Wei Huan sitting down, Moji came over and complained to them in a "ho ho ho" voice. When the undead army rushed towards the pursuers, he cursed very dirtyly.
Big Head, Crow Sister, and a black dragon Shuroma easily killed the alliance pursuers composed of six dark beast kings.
Two dark beast kings were killed instantly on the spot, and one of them had even risen to level six. The leader of this alliance was torn apart directly by the big head.
The pursuers stopped abruptly and turned to run away. Wei Huan would not let them come and go freely, and did not let any of them go. It took only about ten minutes to kill the remaining four dark beast kings.
Mo Ji came back skipping and standing there for a while with his eyes closed. The dark beasts that had just been chasing him in a panic now pledged allegiance to him and guarded him in the middle.
From a remnant of defeated soldiers, he instantly had a leader loyal to a thousand high-level dark beasts.
The Dark Beast Tribe's "loyalty system" feels like a game.
Of course, if the leader is not dead, these dark beasts will be truly loyal.
The Dark Beast civilization is indeed different.
Wei Huan stood on the back of Dian Ma, looking down at it as it completed its "surrender" work. A black coffin appeared silently behind him.
The heartless Mo Ji saw the coffin and knew what a good thing it was. He skipped to Wei Huan and dived into it. From then on, Mo Ji would probably have to spend the rest of his time in this undead ranch until they left.
Wei Huan planned to add blood to Mo Ji and increase its nurturing time for a few more days to see if he could break through the pseudo-god.
Mo Ji was the only undead whose soul he had not fed. He was a little worried, wondering if his rash intervention in the evolution would affect his layout in the dark beast world.
How could Moji seize the "Heart Web" that only the Dark Beast King could weave? What was the connection between the Dark Beasts and the Ancient God? If I could preserve Moji's original nature and help him become the Dark Beast King, would this civilizational rivalry be over? Perhaps, even more so, I could forge some previously unimagined connection with the Ancient God.
Precisely because there are too many concerns and every step is closely linked, Mo Ji's advancement must be handled with caution, so he cannot casually integrate the soul of the real world, no matter how suitable it seems.
After killing six dark beast kings, gathering the remnants, and bringing Mo Ji into the Undead Ranch for advancement, Wei Huan did it so smoothly that the others could not get involved and could only watch.
After Wei Huan finished all these things and rested, Mu Zhong asked, "What's next?"
Wei Huan hadn't expected to meet Mo Ji so quickly. The two times he'd come before, it had taken days to get to him. And Mo Ji was in such a mess this time, it was impossible to just pile up the supplies and wait for them to take them like last time. Sure enough, plans couldn't keep up with the pace of change.
"Before Mo Ji went in, he left behind a map of the Dark Beast Tribe's approximate distribution, and the location of the Dark Beast King's territory was also marked."
Mu Zhong understood: "It seems that you want to kill the Dark Beast King directly?"
"Yes, kill them all the way."
"What about the Ancient God?"
"Let's deal with the Dark Beast Tribe first."
"Too."
Mu nodded. The ancient god materials were indeed precious, but in the face of a war of civilizations, these could only be considered part of the spoils. But if there was no victory, what was the point of the spoils?
Mu Zhong looked at the Dark Beasts that had been recruited by Mo Ji and had continued to guard them even when Mo Ji was away, and asked, "What should we do with them?"
Wei Huan said, "Ignore them."
Then Wei Huan quickly determined the direction and flew towards it.
Dianma is not suppressed by the eighth-level world here. The god-level movement speed involves the laws, and it is much faster than the eighth-level chariot moving at full speed.
Dian Ma was fast, so it only took her more than an hour to reach the territory of the Dark Beast King.
But this territory is in chaos. The dark beasts in the territory are flying around like brainless flies, or like ants caught in a vortex of death, appearing uneasy and somewhat self-destructive.
Without the leader, it was like the system had crashed, and all the dark beasts in the territory were in trouble.
Wei Huan remembered that before he knew Mo Ji's abilities, he had killed many dark beast lords, but at that time he was a royal family member and killed dark beasts together, so he didn't find it strange.
After all, these dark beasts were no longer under the control of the royal family, and their hostile relationship with humans remained unchanged. They were all coming for him, so naturally he couldn't see it.
Now, these dark beast royals chased Mo Ji out, and after they died outside the territory, the dark beasts in the territory seemed to have no hatred towards humans, nor did they have any grudge towards Mo Ji, and they were just confused.
Wei Huan ordered Dian Ma to pass through the territory. As long as they didn't run into the dark beasts head-on, these dark beasts would not care whether the person walking a hundred meters away was a human or not, they would treat it as if it were air.
"Why are these Dark Beastmen acting a bit strange this time?" Xu Qingqiang came over smoking a cigarette, puffing thick white smoke from his thin, scarlet lips. "Whatever, let's go straight to the Royal Lair. The supplies are substantial."
Mu Zhong smiled: "Yes, the supplies are real."
Wei Huan took another deep look at the Dark Beasts. They were indeed a little different, but as Xu Qingqiang said, they were not here to save the Dark Beasts. They could just take the supplies and leave without caring about what happened to this tribe.
Arriving at the royal lair, Wei Huan's undead army went in first to sweep around, and then released the collection robots from the ten warehouses prepared by Mu Zhong. Together with the facehuggers, they emptied 70% of the territory of the Dark Beast King in less than two hours. It would be a waste of time not to take the remaining 30%.
Now Wei Huan hopes to kill the Dark Beast King quickly and complete the main mission so that he will have time to go on adventures and treasure hunts.
Therefore, after determining that it would take 4 to 5 hours to reach the royal territory and then mine for resources, Wei Huan decided: "After mining ten more territories and carrying a sufficient amount of resources, if we encounter the Dark Beast King next time, we will only kill it instead of mining. We will kill the Dark Beast King first. I believe it will have more good things."
What Wei Huan said was naturally the final decision, and everyone here followed his lead and was loyal to him.
Immediately, Mu Zhong and six specially arranged assistants came to the side of Diamma's back shell. Holding the space warehouse in one hand, the collection robot with wings and six legs flew back.
Still a bit slow.
It was fine when putting them down, but when collecting them, especially after collecting them, it took a full quarter of an hour to collect all 30,000 collection robots. In Wei Huan's eyes, this was a waste of time.
Wei Huan didn't say much. After they completed this step, he ordered Dian Ma to set off, flying over the ruins and heading straight for the next nest of the Dark Beast King.
The Dark Beast Kings' true form is their "brain," but they possess the ability to transform, concealing their true form. Like the product of "mind-transformation," they gather the energy of the entire territory's Dark Beasts, allowing them to create a variety of forms while possessing sufficient combat power.
In the territory of the second Dark Beast King, Wei Huan fought a small battle and sent Big Head and Sister Crow in to cooperate with Brother Diaogang and his army of running wolves. Three level seven pseudo-god-level undead leaders led a group of level seven running wolves and ran over the faces of the level five Dark Beast King.
Even though the monster it transformed into had three heads, six arms, strong muscles, and a mouth full of sharp iron teeth and steel fangs, it was too weak and fell down as soon as it met the enemy.
Easier to push than a delicate girl.
After finishing the killing spree, it was time to collect supplies, a stage that everyone loved. This time, all the "98 Warriors" jumped out of their shells and helped as much as they could.
Resource collection was a third faster, and cleaner than the previous one. Wei Huan was very satisfied, and everyone found some work to do, so they wouldn't become a burden, clinging to the boss and doing nothing else.
They stopped and started like this, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. Wei Huan initially said that they would just kill ten Dark Beast Kings first, and the rest would be killed as needed after the Dark Beast King was annihilated and there were empty warehouses.
Unexpectedly, they killed 26 dark beasts in two days, and they couldn't stop "restocking" day and night.
Awesome! Just one word! Every single item you picked up for free is incredibly valuable and rare, not even found on Blue Star or the Challenge World. Now, it's right there right at your fingertips. Can you resist? Do you want more?
Even Wei Huan couldn't help it and selectively forgot the order given two days ago. After all, it wouldn't take much time to kill and capture them all. At this speed, it wouldn't take much time to get to the Dark Beast King.
But if we just give up these supplies that have been given to us for free, wouldn’t that be a waste?
According to the older generation, waste will be punished by heaven.
Leaving this lair of the Dark Beast King and continuing forward, the sky gradually darkened.
At night, it was the time when the dark beasts were active, but as we walked forward, there was no movement along the way.
Wei Huan didn't care at first, until he entered the territory of the next Dark Beast King Clan, he noticed something unusual.
Along the way, Wei Huan has discovered obvious differences between the territories with the Dark Beast King Family and the territories without the Dark Beast King Family.
The dark beasts controlled by the dark beast royal family are obviously calm. They will survive as usual within their own territory and follow the rules of the food chain: big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.
Without the Dark Beast King Clan, the Dark Beasts would appear lost, and there would be a sense of laziness in the territory. Most of the Dark Beasts would retreat into their nests.
But the atmosphere in this dark beast territory before him was different from that among the dark beasts in the previous two territories.
When Wei Huan first noticed something unusual, he saw a group of Xiuroma hunting Benlang, with a violent bear also involved. He thought it was just hunting, a normal part of the food chain.
But as we walked further, we found that there was war everywhere and fighting was going on everywhere. This state of killing had nothing to do with hunting. It was like a war and it was chaotic.
Xiu Luo Ma fought against Ben Lang and Bao Xiong.
Normally, this situation would not occur in a territory ruled by the Dark Beast King.
"Is there no Dark Beast King Family in this territory?" Mu Zhong and Xu Qingqiang both noticed something unusual and came to Wei Huan. Behind them were Captain Xue, Brother Hammer, and Changle and Frank, who came to the Dark Beast plane for the first time.
Wei Huan didn't know either, so he could only shake his head and say, "You'll know when you get there."
Disorder filled the entire territory. Different tribes were constantly fighting. They killed each other without eating, simply for the sake of killing.
The flames of war spread all the way to the lair of the Dark Beast King.
When Wei Huan and others saw this complete nest, they were sure that the Dark Beast King was there.
Then there is something wrong with this territory.
But what does that have to do with Wei Huan and the others?
Wouldn't it be better if the Dark Beast Clan was in chaos?
The pioneering army led by Wei Huan is like a plane bandit. Whenever he appears, he will exploit the fish in a dry pond.
There is no justice in his heart, only stance, and everything is just to strengthen the human race on Blue Star.
Therefore, he never had any sympathy or hesitation about what happened to other ethnic groups.
In such chaos, Wei Huan could only order his undead army to rush around, burning, killing and looting.
“Hehehe——!”
“Ga-ga-ga!”
"Hahaha--!"
Accompanied by waves of crazy screams, hundreds of human warriors rushed into the lair of the dark beast king, and once again started a crazy carnival.
Another one of the Dark Beast Kings died, leaving only 230.
After plundering the supplies here, Wei Huan and others left without looking back, leaving the territory in chaos and war.
He also didn't notice that as more and more dark beasts died, an ominous wind blew across the ground, and in some places where the corpses were not yet stiff and the blood was not yet cold, some faint dark golden light began to emerge.
If there were only a few dozen of these lights, they would be so faint that they would be almost invisible, not as bright as the projection from the starry sky. But if there were many, hundreds or thousands of lights gathered together, they would be found to be dark gold, exactly the same color as the substance in the ancient god's body.
These lights gathered from small balls and appeared on the bodies of every dead dark beast. After an unknown number of dark beasts died, these dark golden balls of light vaguely condensed into the shape of a "brain".
If Wei Huan saw this, he would be extremely surprised.
After all, before this, no one had thought that the "brain" of the Dark Beast King would be produced in this way.
But before that, Wei Huan was first attracted by the abnormal killing of the Dark Beast Clan.
After he left the previous Dark Beast King's territory, he headed directly to the next territory. He thought this territory would be peaceful, but it turned out to be full of war all the way to the Dark Beast King's lair.
"This chaos doesn't seem to be related to the territory. The entire Dark Beast Plane is in chaos." Mu Zhong said, "We still need to be careful. After all, we are on the ancient god's body. If it wants to attack, none of us will survive."
Xu Qingqiang said, "Wouldn't it be a good thing if the mites living on your body started fighting?"
Captain Xue rolled his eyes. "Then what are we? Fleas?"
Xu Qingqiang smiled: "That's fine. Fleas are more powerful than mites and can even feed on mites. I don't mind."
Mu Zhong ignored their banter and simply said, "This kind of anomaly has never happened before. Iron Heart is keeping silent. I don't know if he doesn't know or can't say anything. I always feel like something is wrong. Do you want to go down and take a look?"
Wei Huan glanced at the sky. The rich dark blue in the distance outlined the shape of the mountains, and the clouds were dark red.
"It's almost dawn. Let's see what the situation is like after daybreak. Don't go down there rashly."
"Okay." Although Mu Zhong said this, he still took advantage of the time when Dian Ma slowed down to throw some cameras down, and then continued to observe the change.
After Wei Huan conquered this dark beast territory, it was already bright in the sky. The chaos of the night seemed to have disappeared, and the roaring sounds disappeared. The dark beasts returned to their nests, leaving only corpses all over the ground.
Wei Huan asked Hammer Brother to take some people and the collection robot to continue to collect resources, while he took Mu Zhong and Xu Qingqiang to the ground to check the battlefield.
The brighter the sky, the more it illuminates the cruelty of last night.
The number of these dark beasts that died from killing each other was much greater than the number of dark beasts that Wei Huan killed in his three visits. The death toll was hundreds of times greater.
In some places, the bodies were piled up more than ten meters high, leaving no place to step.
Mu Zhong observed for a while and said, "They're not eating. There's almost no sign of gnawing. They're just killing each other."
Xu Qingqiang nodded: "This meat is not tasty."
"Not tasty?" Mu Zhong was surprised. Xu Qingqiang even found shit delicious.
Xu Qingqiang said directly: "What I eat is not meat, but energy. The more energy, the sweeter it tastes."
"In other words, these meats have no energy? These ordinary dark beasts are only level one or two. Do they have less energy? Or do they have no energy?" Mu Zhong had obviously found the key in his question.
"No." Xu Qingqiang took a deep breath and confirmed, "That's right, there is no energy, no energy at all."
The three of them fell silent, feeling more and more that something was wrong.
Because of the challenge world, the Dark Beast Clan can be regarded as having embarked on the "road to transcendence". Once they reach a certain age, they will be forcibly sent to the challenge world for the "Lord Challenge". Therefore, all adult Dark Beasts are at least first-level Lords.
As long as you step into the extraordinary, you will have energy. Even if it is as small as a firefly, Xu Qingqiang's nose can smell it.
"What on earth happened here?" Mu Chong has always been vigilant and has eight hundred guesses in his mind.
"Could it be that they're starting to lose their composure because we're about to win?" Xu Qingqiang didn't bother to think. "Who cares? No matter how much they try, they're no match for us right now. Do you believe an ancient god would wake up and fight us just for a bunch of mites?"
Wei Huan frowned and said nothing.
Mo Ji was in the process of evolving and could not be disturbed at the moment. Unfortunately, the dark beast plane was also captured by the challenge world. The dark beast had no soul, and the "soul-searching technique" that he had practiced with great difficulty was useless. For a while, he really had no way to deal with this change.
Mu Zhong said, "It seems that there is no problem during the day. I am worried that something might happen if we delay. Wei Huan, how about we go straight to the Dark Beast King?"
Wei Huan nodded: "This is the only way."
The three of them made a decision and returned to the Dian Ma backpack. After waiting for a while, they had collected enough supplies.
There were so many supplies collected along the way that everyone was a bit picky and only took the best and most precious ones. More and more supplies were left, and the speed increased from taking away 70% to leaving 70%.
In addition, with the current abnormal behavior of the dark beast, no one was in the mood to "go shopping" and they all came back soon.
Wei Huan asked Dian Ma to move forward at full speed. This time, they bypassed the territory of the Dark Beast King along the way and went straight to the Dark Beast King's place.
Also on that night, after dark, the dark beasts came out to fight again, but for some reason the sounds of fighting disappeared in the second half of the night.
Xu Qingqiang muttered, "What the hell, this is insane. It starts when it says it will, and ends when it says it will. It doesn't happen every few years, does it? Are they killing people for fun because of overpopulation?"
This time, he went straight to the territory of the Dark Beast King. Even when he met the Dark Beast King's family on the way, he did not stop. Instead, he took a long detour to avoid fighting.
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and everything was peaceful. The chaotic night of fighting seemed like a nightmare, and it never appeared again.
But the brave team did not really treat it as a "nightmare". From time to time, they could hear people discussing their guesses. Being so deep behind enemy lines, it was not excessive to be cautious and vigilant, not to mention such a big anomaly. They would not feel at ease unless they investigated it thoroughly.
Wei Huan and Xu Qingqiang were not the kind of people who cared too much about the details. They just suppressed their doubts deeply, knowing that if they killed the Dark Beast King, the truth would be revealed.
But Mu Zhong couldn't do that. He had a delicate personality and wouldn't be able to sleep or eat unless he found the answer.
Iron Heart has been having bad luck these past few days.
When Mu Zhong had nothing to do, he would sit alone on the edge of Dian Ma's back shell. He looked like he was taking a rest and enjoying the scenery, but in fact, Iron Heart's "ears" were almost worn out by him, and he asked all kinds of questions directly or indirectly.
As they were about to step into the Dark Beast King's territory that evening, Iron Heart finally "couldn't wait" to issue a mission.
[Main Quest: Kill the Dark Beast King (0/1)]
[Side Quest 1: Kill the Dark Beast King (229/321)]
[Side Quest 2: Exploring "Twin Pillars of Heaven" (completed), "Ditch of the Abyss" (uncompleted), "Shadow of the World" (uncompleted), "Bright Star" (uncompleted)]
At this time, they had just entered the territory of the Dark Beast King and were on high alert when a bunch of words suddenly popped up on the virtual screen of the portable system.
Changle was surprised: "Challenge World is issuing tasks?"
Big Foot chuckled. "Challenge the World doesn't cover this. This is a mission issued by my big brother, Steel."
"Brother Steel?" Changle repeated stupidly.
Big Foot asked Changle to look at Mu Zhong, and asked him to look at the black cube flying on Mu Zhong's shoulder, and said proudly: "That is my Iron Brother."
The conversation between the two made many people laugh, and some newcomers like Frank looked enlightened, surprised that such a private system would actually give them tasks.
When an elderly person realized that they had misunderstood, he whispered in their ears and explained again, which in turn brought faces of surprise, sudden enlightenment, or extreme joy and relief.
At the same time, many elderly people have tried to find some tricks in these three tasks.
Iron Heart has high authority and can even invade other systems to directly control the tank.
The supplies in the mobile phone that were locked due to the death of the challenger a few years ago could only be taken out because of the Iron Heart.
It is a system second only to challenging the will of the world's master.
The Heart of Steel is the professional training ground for the pilot sequence. In addition to having an extremely high-level system level, it also has a steel factory located in the void that can directly mass-produce mechas of the same level as Mu Zhong's current pilot.
Provided that resources are available.
Because Mu Zhong had to follow Wei Huan to open up new land, he could not stay in the world where the main force was for a long time, so the entrance and exit of the "steel factory" were left by him in the heavy city of the sixth-level world.
As long as you put the materials in there and wait enough time, you can get a mass-produced level 6 mecha.
It is also worth mentioning that the training grounds of other professions also have one of their entrances and exits located in the sixth-level world. This is a backdoor opened by Iron Heart for the convenience provided by Mu Zhong to humans.
A heart of steel is a good thing. Wei Huan believes that he can do without his AI butler, but he cannot do without a heart of steel.
I am also glad that the control of Iron Heart is in Mu Zhong's hands. If the professional training grounds of other sequences only improve the combat effectiveness of the sequence, Iron Heart can improve the overall living standards of mankind through scientific and technological means.
Now, after three days of Mu Zhong's coaxing and nagging, Iron Heart had obviously wanted to help them for a long time, so the task popped up the moment they entered the Dark Beast King's territory.
The task is naturally not a task, but a prompt.
But no matter how people look at it, they can't see anything unusual.
One main quest, two side quests, all of which are quests I've seen before, nothing unusual at all.
Mu Zhong didn't understand either. He stared at it for a long moment, then lowered his head and whispered to Iron Heart. Finally, he announced, "For now, we've entered the Dark Beast King's territory. Be careful and stay alert."
"Okay."
"OK."
…
The golden sun sank to the west, and darkness flowed out from the distant mountains, swallowing up the earth bit by bit.
A huge, jellyfish-like, white-bone creature, carrying the invaders, slowly swam in the twilight.
They had been in the Dark Beast King's territory for a while, but hadn't seen anything unusual.
Before darkness completely fell, Wei Huan took another look at the task system in the corner of the virtual screen.
They were all quests I'd seen before, and the same quest had appeared three times in a row, especially the "Explore Secrets" quest. He'd thought he'd completed it last time, but it turned out he hadn't? He hadn't seen the other three secret realms, so did he actually not understand this world? Was that what Heart of Steel meant?
And the only main line, killing the Dark Beast King, seems to be the final key.
To win this competition of civilizations, the only way is to kill the Dark Beast King.
As darkness fell, the plateau began to stir. First to appear was a group of two-headed hidden demons, which flew out from the depths of the plateau and met the ghost crows that Wei Huan had been tasked with exploring.
Without waiting for Wei Huan's ghost crows to react, these two-headed hidden demons seemed to have been looking for them. They suddenly stopped and flew back without a sound.
Wei Huan saw this scene through the vision of the Demon Eye Lord.
The Dark Beast King must have known about their return to the Dark Beast World a long time ago.
Although there are no cameras or the Internet in this world, the Dark Beast itself is a huge "net". In addition, there are also the Thought-Sending Beasts that are responsible for organizing and transmitting information. I am afraid that on the first day Wei Huan and the others arrived in this world, every move they made was sent to the Dark Beast King by the Thought-Sending Beasts.
It will be noticed, be prepared in advance, and it will not be a surprise at all.
From the very beginning, Wei Huan was prepared to fight a tough battle. After all, this was the "last battle" between human civilization and the dark beasts.
"We've been discovered, get ready." Wei Huan reminded everyone behind him.
The warriors stood up calmly and prepared for the battle, with even a hint of uncontrollable excitement in their eyes.
Was this decade-long conflict between civilizations finally coming to an end? If these one hundred people destroyed the Dark Beast King here today, would every one of their names be recorded in the history books?
At the thought of leaving their names in history, the warriors' nostrils dilated with excitement. Changle even panted twice, and the black hair on his face seemed to grow out.
Sure enough, after only half an hour of marching, the Dark Beast King's vanguard arrived.
This is a group of two-headed hidden demons carrying a large number of bombs.
That’s right, it’s a “bomb”!
They grabbed the barrels with their claws, hovered in the air, and deployed their troops in several layers. They swept across the sky and the ground with amazing power, as if they had woven a huge net between heaven and earth.
The one with such power in battle has always been Wei Huan’s undead army, but now it was the dark beast that took the lead.
The ghost crows had to stop, and the arc stretching over a hundred kilometers turned into a straight line.
More than ten heads with big bloodshot eyes slowly flew over, rising and falling in the middle of the line, transmitting the scene in front to Wei Huan's eyes.
Ten portals opened behind Wei Huan, and the undead army and Diamma's earth beast army flew out at the same time, spreading forward like a white blanket.
But before the undead army could reach their position, the two-headed demons opened fire.
The cannon barrels they were holding at their feet emitted flames, and with a roar, missiles were fired out. The huge warheads emitted black smoke and crashed into the group of undead at an extremely fast speed.
The warhead hit the ghost crow and did not explode.
Wei Huan saw this scene with the help of the Lord of the Demon Eyes. He was quite surprised and became more vigilant towards the Dark Beast King.
The missile did not explode not because it was not successfully manufactured, but because the ghost crows were in a dimensional space. As long as they did not actively attack, they could not be attacked by the enemy. The missile passed through them and flew nearly a hundred kilometers in a blink of an eye, heading towards Wei Huan himself.
Wei Huan would not give it a chance to explode next to him. The facehugger flying in front of him rushed over like a giant hand and grabbed the missile.
The missile exploded with a "boom", and with a howling wind, mushroom clouds exploded before his eyes, and some debris almost hit Wei Huan's face.
The scene of the battle with hot weapons made Wei Huan and others sigh for a moment.
The challenge for the Dark Beastmen is to learn knowledge and master technology. While the Dark Beastmen are beasts, most are immature and would die if they went to school, there are some who are unique and special. Their intelligence and knowledge rival those of human experts and doctors. Eleven years is plenty of time for them to master the art of making mushroom bombs.
It’s a pity that advanced technology products require more than just the methods.
To achieve sufficient killing standards and quantities, a matching collection system and a huge industrial chain are needed.
Therefore, the Dark Beast Kings have mushroom bombs, but their quantity is limited.
These powerful thermal weapons are concentrated in the hands of the Dark Beast King, which is why Wei Huan rarely saw thermal weapons in past expeditions against other Dark Beast kings.
The power of mushroom bombs is still very great, and even in the current extraordinary era, they can still cause considerable damage.
Wei Huan's undead army suffered countless casualties in the explosion. The shock wave and heat of the explosion almost cleared out all the undead within a 30-kilometer radius, leaving a large area empty.
"Hiss!" So fierce? What kind of mushroom bomb is this? It's even more powerful than the one on Blue Star.
However, those who had just been slapped in the face soon realized that the pain was gone. Because in a quick glance, they hadn't realized that these dead souls were just worthless filthy earth troops.
Their boss can have as many of these cheap troops as he wants, and they will use them as cannon fodder.
Looking at these mushroom clouds that have not yet dissipated, they are really cannon fodder!
