Chapter 347 Sharpening the Knife
The Dark Beast King started the match and the mushroom bombs he took out were very shocking, but in the final analysis, he was just cannon fodder.
It is probably the work of some genius dark beasts on their way to challenging the world. They were piled there and got moldy, and now they can finally be disposed of.
After all, it is a certain era now. Wei Huan is Sequence Seven, and the giant jellyfish under his seat is god-level. What kind of god would be afraid of mushroom bombs?
But it's consumption against consumption, neither side gains any advantage nor suffers any loss.
The meaningless exchange of blows lasted for more than three hours, like a grand opening fireworks celebration. After it was over, the army of undead and the army of dark beasts officially took their positions on the scorched earth.
An endless army of dark beasts blocked Wei Huan's way, facing an army of undead that was almost identical to the seventh level.
The Dark Beast Army roared in commotion, and earth-shaking roars continued to be heard. The sky and earth, filled with murderous aura, seemed to have turned red.
The army of the undead was motionless, silent and solemn, standing like ice, fighting like a bell and moving like the wind.
The two sides faced each other across three kilometers. The ground in between was empty, and the grass shivered and shrank into the mud, not daring to show its head.
It was completely dark, and the overall environment was not favorable for Wei Huan. It was obvious that the Dark Beast King had taken into account the issues of time and place, and wanted to make up for the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides.
Faced with Wei Huan's large number of level seven undead and the extremely conspicuous pseudo-god-level undead leader roaming outside the camp, the Dark Beast Clan, whose overall strength is only level five, is obviously far behind.
But this battle must be fought. Wei Huan has come here three times, pressing forward step by step. Now his troops are at the gates of the city. This is a battle that cannot be avoided, so we can only deal with it with all our strength.
In the darkness ahead, there was an army of dark beasts numbering in the billions that Wei Huan had never seen before. Even the rare dark beast nobles, the two-headed hidden demons, probably numbered in the millions.
There are so many level five two-headed hidden demons gathered here that it would not be easy for Wei Huan to kill them even if they were left open.
After all, it takes him 20 days to create 100 level seven undead, and there are actually not many level sevens that he has advanced to now.
A level six undead is only slightly stronger than a level five two-headed hidden demon. It is well known that the individual strength of undead is not strong in number, and most of them win by numbers.
This battle is actually not that easy to fight.
The quiet confrontation seemed to be waiting for the stone to break the water.
Wei Huan thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know what the Iron Heart's pop-up mission means at this time, it's a critical juncture. I plan to fight a quick battle and make a quick decision. Send everyone out except Dian Ma. Your mission is to find the Dark Beast King and kill him, ending the war as soon as possible."
Everyone naturally agreed that the feud between humans and the Dark Beasts should be resolved. If they were afraid to act because they were worried about the Ancient Gods, how could they be considered warriors?
They had already entered the eighth-level world, so why keep the enemies who had struggled in the sixth-level world? Only by killing them could they have no worries and focus on the more difficult battlefield ahead.
"Don't worry, the Dark Beast King will be left to us."
"Let's kill together today!"
"Leave the Dark Beast King's head to me!"
The team members who had already been friends for life and death spoke proudly, with the courage to die and the belief that they would win in their eyes.
Let’s put an end to the nightmare that has plagued the human race on Blue Star for ten years!
"I judge it a great victory!"
As the stars fell, the undead army lit up with starlight, the horn of war was blown, and the war began!
Huixue first fell in the middle of the dark beast army. The suppression from the law produced miraculous effects as soon as it was used.
Heavy snow fell, stretching for more than 10 miles. The skin of the dark beast army was stained with fragile snowflakes, but it seemed as if they had suffered the most poisonous damage. Their skin and flesh were festering and bleeding. They screamed miserably and rolled on the ground, disrupting their formation.
Then a rumbling sound came from far away and got closer. The zombie violent bear took the lead, followed by the zombie Roman army. On both wings were the support legions from the Skeleton Wolf. Like an eagle with spread wings, it pounced fiercely into the army of dark beasts.
Without any pause or hesitation, when Wei Huan decided to do this, a fierce battle officially began.
The undead are powerful, and with pseudo-god-level leaders as their spearheads, they can easily split the dark beast army and penetrate deep into the enemy as soon as they encounter it.
However, there are also some shortcomings.
Even the number of the undead army is far less than that of the dark beast army.
It's not just not enough, the gap is too big.
Looking around, the entire plateau was filled with the Dark Beast Legion. There were tens of millions of the two-headed hidden demons, whose strength was not bad.
These two-headed hidden demons followed the orders of the Dark Beast King and rushed into the undead army without fear of life or death, intending to rely on their numerical advantage to rush behind the enemy.
The most recent time, Wei Huan could even see their figures with his own eyes.
The battle became intense as soon as it began.
The dark beasts died in large numbers, leaving corpses and blood all over the ground, but a lot of the undead army also died. Wei Huan's netherworld power continued to drop, and the dead undead army was resurrected in the tomb and entered the battlefield again together with the filthy undead.
Fortunately, there were the Impure World Undead, otherwise Wei Huan would have been the numerically disadvantaged side for the first time on such a battlefield.
But even so, Wei Huan, who only had ten portals, still felt a little tired for a while. The consumption of Nether Power was far greater than the speed of his Nether Power recovery.
The turning point on the battlefield came from the melee warriors.
Taking advantage of the chaotic battle situation and the fierce competition, the puppy-headed people finally succeeded in sneaking into the battlefield.
Xu Qingqiang and others who had been waiting for a long time jumped into the puppy's mouth, "Hah, tui!", and were teleported into the battlefield.
The strange laughter of "hehehe" and the voice of "grandson" were heard alternately, accompanied by the sound of cows mooing and bears roaring, until a white light suddenly appeared, and the knives of Hammer Brother and Big Foot cut off the heads of the dark beasts. In an instant, the dark beasts on the battlefield that seemed to be strong and could not be defeated for a long time, like nails, were all pulled out.
The front line advanced smoothly.
Wei Huan's pressure was also relieved, and the consumption of his spiritual power was greatly reduced.
Beside him, Mu Zhong was building a smooth communication network and arranging Iron Heart to analyze the battle situation.
At the same time, in the virtual vision of melee fighters, they can easily see a 180° field of view. If an enemy is approaching secretly or a possible danger occurs, they will receive a system reminder in time.
Iron Heart is a super AI that can easily build a "war command system" for the pioneering army of tens of thousands of tanks, and it is even easier to build a "combat system" of less than a hundred people.
With the assistance of the system, the brave melee fighters are like gods, saving their lives with every step. Facing these dark beasts, which are almost all level five, is only slightly more difficult than killing chickens and geese.
The dark blood of the dark beasts was all over their bodies, and each one looked like a demon from hell, so powerful that it was incomprehensible.
The battle started at night and continued until the dawn, when the dark beast army began to retreat.
Wei Huan wanted to end the battle quickly, but when he took a look at his depleted spiritual power and his tired teammates, he realized the difficulty of this battle.
He was still thinking too simply. It was his fault for being so ignorant that he had never seen the consequences of fighting hundreds of millions of enemies.
No matter how easily the front line is pushed forward, and no matter how smoothly the battle goes, hundreds of millions of enemies cannot be killed in a short period of time.
The short time here refers to two or three days.
The Dark Beast King has gathered hundreds of millions of Dark Beasts here. They have cleaned their necks and laid there for them to kill. One person cannot kill enough 10,000 of them in a day.
After all, knives will become dull, people will get tired, and hearts will become numb. If we really want to kill this army of dark beasts that fills the plateau, it will take an eternity.
After killing all night, their hands and feet were weak from exhaustion. Looking again, they found that they had not even killed a million dark beasts.
The retreating army of dark beasts took away a large number of corpses, leaving behind the ruins of the battlefield that was soaked in blood ten meters deep.
Wei Huan stood on Dian Ma's back with a tense expression on his face.
The Dark Beast King hid deep in the army and did not show up. Even the Dark Beast King family did not see him. He relied on the soldiers to hold them off all night.
In this way, they rest during the day and fight at night. As long as the Dark Beast Clan maintains a good rhythm, they will not be able to defeat the Dark Beast King until the time they stay in this world ends.
But the human race has already entered the eighth-level world, and the ninth-level world is the battlefield of all races. Will there be an opening battle? Can we come to the dark beast plane again?
In the previous life, Wei Huan died on the battlefield. He had no idea whether the Dark Beast Clan, which had breached their defenses, had entered Blue Star and slaughtered its people. He also didn't see how Blue Star became a survivor tribe. And how did they survive after becoming a survivor tribe?
He died before the destruction of Blue Star.
If we can't kill the Dark Beast King, is it possible to enter the Dark Beast plane from the battlefield?
What if they couldn't get in? Would they just let the Dark Beasts live in such a state? Would all these vast resources and hatred just be lost to the wind?
Wei Huan refused to give up. If there were many ways to destroy the Dark Beast civilization and drive them into extinction, he would definitely choose to kill all of the Dark Beasts first. Only by using the Dark Beast King's head to pay tribute to the heroic spirits of Xishan would he be able to relieve the hatred in his heart!
Closing his eyes and opening them again, Wei Huan decided, "Rest for two hours and then start the battle again."
Mu Zhong asked, "Can the Dark Power be fully restored in two hours?"
Wei Huan nodded: "Okay."
Mu Zhong said, "Then fight!"
Everyone was surprisingly supportive: "That's right, we can't follow the other party's lead."
"I still have endless strength. It doesn't matter if I kill him for another three days and three nights."
"The enemy is outnumbered. The Dark Beast King is clearly using a delaying tactic. If you ask me, why not organize a team to decapitate them behind enemy lines? I'll sign up."
"Yeah, count me in. Weren't we all so awesome before, hiding and hiding?"
"Boss, just give the order. If we're afraid of death, you can beat me to death!"
Mu Zhong smiled and said, "Two hours means two hours. From now on, you only have two hours to rest. Eat, shower, sleep, and get treatment if you are injured. In two hours, I want you to be full of energy and return to the battlefield."
"You still need to take a shower? Those two hours are a bit short."
"Go, go, go, hurry up, stop talking nonsense."
As the words fell, simple white yurt-like rooms appeared on Dianma's back.
These are the marching bags distributed for this operation.
Mu Zhong is in charge of logistics, and everyone praises the equipment and arrangements he makes.
The 20-square-meter room is placed in the space warehouse and can be taken out when in use. The room is fully equipped with showers, sleeping areas, and dining areas, as well as daily necessities and bedding. During non-combat periods, you can also enjoy bed massages, Orange Juice brand exquisite pre-prepared meals, and more.
In short, with Mu Zhong in charge of logistics, Wei Huan led the legion to fight in the front, and he never worried about the rear, or whether he would be hungry on the battlefield, or cold or hot, or not seeing reinforcements when he looked back when his troops were defeated... Of course, Wei Huan had never reached the point of being at the end of his rope.
While marching and fighting, he could eat and wash within ten minutes, and spend the rest of the time lying on the bed, snoring loudly after a while.
The man said no, but his body still honestly fell down and fell asleep. He was indeed tired after a night of fighting.
Wei Huan also went to bed. He rested so that he could walk further, and he didn't try to be too brave.
Now there are only 5 logistics personnel including Mu Zhong and 15 remote personnel on duty in rotation.
This time, Mu Zhong brought three healers, a fortune teller, and himself, forming a minimum logistics team of five people.
The fortune teller is not Dou Lin, because in this kind of forced march mission, everyone has multiple duties. For example, Mu Zhong is the chief of logistics, and he is also responsible for cooking for everyone, repairing equipment, etc. The fortune teller cannot just add "judgment". This fortune teller is also a staff officer and a mechanical operator who is not a driver.
Now, the fortune teller threw out the tens of thousands of security robots in his portable warehouse, deployed them according to the programming, and guarded against the enemy's sneak attack.
Drones and wandering undead are spread all over the sky and underground, forming an impenetrable defense line. To be on the safe side, drones are even stationed deep underground.
This is the optimal combination of technology and supernatural power. It is much more advanced than the Dark Beast King's weird mushroom bombs that look like fireworks.
It was also thanks to such careful planning that everyone got two hours of relatively relaxing rest time.
In a blink of an eye, time passed quickly, and without waiting for Wei Huan to call anyone, the team members came out one after another.
They were still lazy when they stepped out of the room, but when they retracted the room into the space and stood in front of us again, they were all energetic and full of fighting spirit.
In less than 2 hours, all the staff were present, staring at Wei Huan, waiting for his orders.
Wei Huan glanced at the sun. Two stars were shining above his head, one bright and one dim, illuminating the ground covered in black blood, and also illuminating the brave and fearless eyes of the warrior Meng.
"Your mission," Wei Huan said, looking around, "is to kill all high-level Dark Beasts. Don't waste too much energy on other things. We must break through the barrier as quickly as possible and find the Dark Beast King."
"yes!"
After receiving the order, everyone had a clear goal and waited for the undead army to charge into the dark beast legion, and then they couldn't wait to teleport into the battlefield.
Fighting during the day is easier than at night.
The dark beast's combat effectiveness will be significantly reduced during the day, and its actions during the day are more in line with human habits. As a result, its performance is better than last night.
In three hours in the morning, the battle line advanced a full ten miles, and more than 500,000 dark beasts were killed, a remarkable achievement.
Gradually, the sounds coming from the tactical headset were no longer just about tactical conversations; some people actually started chatting.
"I just got sprayed in the face by large intestines. I have no appetite for dinner." Someone made this casual remark.
Someone immediately responded, "You're still thinking about this because you're not hungry enough. If you're really hungry, you'll eat large intestines with your meal."
"Do you know why our brother Qiang is so awesome? It's because he's not picky about food."
"Get lost!"
"Hahaha!"
The sound of laughter came from the headphones to the back. Mu Zhong looked up at Wei Huan and found that Wei Huan was also listening with a smile.
Their eyes met, and Mu Zhong pressed his headset and said, "I'll have the system keep a closer eye on this. We've been fighting for over three hours, and everyone's a little tired."
"What about you?" Wei Huan asked.
"What?" Mu Zhong then reacted and smiled, "Not bad, I'll take my turn and rest for a while later." At this point, Mu Zhong paused, his expression solemn, "I've been killing so far, but I haven't seen a single Dark Beast King. I don't know what the Dark Beast King is planning."
Wei Huan nodded, his brows furrowed.
If the Dark Beast King doesn't come out, it means that the Dark Beast King still has a trump card, and they can't just "all in".
Landing on the top of the Dark Beast King and directly "attacking the BOSS" is actually the easiest way to win, but Wei Huan can't do it.
He was not sure that he could bring out all the people who were surrounded when facing the remaining more than 200 Dark Beast Kings and the Dark Beast King's joint forces.
No matter how weak the Dark Beast King Family is, they are still a royal family, and their life level is transcendentally higher. When they swarm around, it is indeed difficult to deal with them.
This is also the reason why they can only use clumsy methods to move forward slowly.
The number of enemies is at least 600 million, and this is because the plateau can only accommodate a limited number of them, otherwise it would be even greater.
Faced with a number far exceeding their own, the dumbest way is to just push forward. The number they kill in a day is just a fraction. These dark beasts are not afraid of death and even drag away the corpses of their own kind as food.
The "fortified defenses and cleared fields" tactics used in the real world when facing an army of hundreds of millions of demons were completely useless in the face of this army of dark beasts that far outnumbered them at the time.
It has to be said that when he was plotting against the other party, the other party had already found the best way to deal with him.
"One Hundred Warriors" is their biggest bug.
No matter how strong their hundred people are, they are still only a hundred people. Facing a number that is tens of millions times greater than their own, they can only be overwhelmed.
"It's okay, kill it first." Wei Huan knew that the biggest weakness of his side had been grasped by the other party, but he was not discouraged or angry. After all, he was in an absolutely strong position. The other party used the life of the dark beast to block their advance, but if they were unwilling, they could change the strategy at any time.
The initiative lies with them, and the only one who should feel uncomfortable is the Dark Beast King.
Mu nodded and said, "Actual combat is the best teacher. Many people are hovering at the threshold of the seventh level, just one step away from reaching the final level. Perhaps after this, they will have a big breakthrough."
Once his perspective changed, Mu Zhong's interest gradually grew. "Having Dark Beasts to cooperate with us in training isn't a bad thing. If we can awaken one or two more realms, our human race will be able to completely establish itself in the ninth-level world."
Mu Zhong recalled a scene he had seen on the drone footage not long ago and said, "Brother Qiang's domain has clearly strengthened. He may not even have noticed it himself, but I've done some statistics. His feeding frequency is decreasing, but his combat effectiveness remains the same. It seems his domain has been helping him absorb energy and make up for his own losses. This way, the time Brother Qiang wasted on eating can be used for combat. Once he stops eating completely, his combat value will be more than ten times what it is now."
Wei Huan also noticed it. He also found that Hammer Brother’s weapon seemed particularly bright, and Captain Xue’s weapon was harder and more resistant.
There are also newcomers like Changle and Frank, who are obviously also improving themselves through combat, so perhaps it won’t take too long for them to advance to Sequence Seven.
Actual combat is indeed the best teacher.
The Dark Beast King used the lives of the dark beasts to block the road, so they used these dark beasts to practice with their swords. When the swords were sharp, it was time to kill the king.
As for Wei Huan himself, he was also constantly absorbing experience from large-scale battlefields in such battles, trying to kill more dark beast lords with as little consumption as possible.
If he encountered a less tense war, he would take out the fragment of the divine nature and comprehend it. Although it caused the surrounding people to howl and scream in unrest, the Dark Beast Clan was affected more greatly, and it became a tool to assist in the war.
In the blink of an eye, ten days passed.
Today is also the 14th day since they arrived in the Dark Beast Plane.
In the non-stop fighting, not only did they push the front line forward more than 1,200 kilometers, completely conquering half of the plateau, but Changle also advanced to Sequence Seven today.
Changle is a farmer and is currently a Martial Saint.
However, after Changle advanced to Sequence Seven, he not only received the attribute and combat skill blessings of a Martial Saint, but also saw a dark beast spirit on the first day he returned to the battlefield after the promotion.
It was the spirit of a two-headed hidden demon, a dark beast that had been gathered on the battlefield for who knows how long. After synchronizing with Changle, it transformed into a magic pattern that was imprinted on the butterfly bone on his back.
Changle grew a pair of two-headed hidden demon dragon wings from his back, and a flexible snake-like tail grew from the end of his spine.
With his thick black hair, bulging muscles, and especially the pair of sharp horns on his head, Xu Qingqiang's teeth were aching when he appeared in the world in a high-profile manner.
Xu Qingqiang came back and muttered, "Damn it, is this brat going to be the devil? If I stand next to him, I'll be just like the devil and his little devil soldiers."
Looking at Xu Qingqiang now, his body is hunched, covered with twisted magic patterns that grow like thorns, his nails are long and sharp, his teeth are like those of a dwarf, and he has three horns on his head.
The single horn on the top of the head is thick and straight pointing towards the sky, and the curled horns growing from the temples on both sides are like sheep's horns, bending upward and backward.
Just looking at the appearance is indeed horrifying. It looks brutal and twisted, like a demon existing in a nightmare.
But compared with the advanced Changle, he is indeed inferior in appearance. Changle is more like the traditional demon king in human imagination.
Of course, Xu Qingqiang's title as humanity's strongest melee fighter was no joke. Just look at the "blood field" surrounding him. Enemies below level 4 who stepped into it would instantly have their blood sucked out, their bodies shrivelling. Enemies at level 4 or 5 wouldn't last long either, falling to the blood field in no time, without Xu Qingqiang having to intervene.
Xu Qingqiang absorbs the enemy's energy to maintain his highest combat effectiveness indefinitely. Now his endurance exceeds that of everyone else. With 10 times the bloodthirstiness, he can kill for a whole day and a whole night without feeling tired. His strength is really amazing.
There were 100 enemies, 50 of them were killed by Wei Huan, 30 were killed by Xu Qingqiang, and the remaining 20 were divided equally among the others.
The existence or non-existence of a domain can immediately determine the superiority or inferiority.
For a moment, no one cared about whether to kill the Dark Beast King or not, but was thinking about how to find their own "territory" and embark on their own "path".
