Contract: Lord of the Eye
Chapter 63
If Wei Huan was a little more sober, he would realize what he was seeing at that moment.
But it was precisely because he was in a special state that he was able to make such a special discovery.
As his gaze followed a line, a figure gradually appeared before his eyes.
It was also at the moment when he outlined the other person's figure with his eyes that this existence seemed to emerge from the lead-gray wall, with a specific shape and color.
This is an eyeball with a pair of bat wings.
On the eyes, which were as big as human heads, black bloodshot were clearly visible, spreading like spider webs on the white spheres and finally converging into the green eyeballs.
The eyeball gradually changes from black at the edge to green in the middle, like the vertical pupil of a snake, and what jumps in it is the green netherworld fire.
Hellfire?
Fire of Death?
Is this ignited?
When Wei Huan realized this, he felt even more dizzy and weak!
He opened and closed his eyes hard, trying to get out of this state and stand up again.
But obviously he couldn't do it.
But it was even faster. In a dizzying moment, he was driven out of the Professional Temple.
The next second, Wei Huan's eyes went dark and he passed out.
…
Three hours passed in a flash.
Since just now, Mu Zhong has looked at the stairs several times.
It was time for Wei Huan to wake up, but he still hadn't come out. Did he just fall asleep?
Mu Zhong thought about the scale of today's battle and felt a little worried. He controlled his wheelchair and wanted to go upstairs to take a look.
Captain Wang said, "Don't bother him."
Mu Chong didn't mean to call Wei Huan down. If Wei Huan really fell asleep, he would just let him sleep.
Today's battle was hard. Wei Huan looked very bad when the battle ended. It seemed that the consumption was greater than he expected.
Captain Wang called Mu Zhong and said, "We have completed our mission this time, so we won't stay any longer. We need to get back as soon as possible. That's it."
When Liu Xiaotian heard this, he stood up.
I thought he was leaving, but he rushed into the kitchen, picked up the leftover barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth.
Liu Chengzhi was dozing off on the dining table. When he looked up, he saw Liu Xiaotian giving him a thumbs up. He grinned back at him.
Liu Xiaotian stuffed his mouth with meat and mumbled, "I'll eat your barbecue next time..."
Miaomiao picked up the aircraft at the door and replenished its energy, which was enough to support them to fly continuously and reach the entrance of the third-level highway.
"Let's go." She looked at Mu Zhong deeply, "Seeing you like this now, I feel relieved. Things will be better in the future."
"Well, goodbye, Sister Miaomiao."
Mu Zhong knew the rules of the legion and did not keep them. He sent them to the door and watched them wrap their bodies in armor and fly into the air.
Captain Wang finally reminded him: "Look carefully at the USB drive. The information about your misfortune should contain the answer."
"Um."
Mu Zhong reached for the USB flash drive that was placed close to him, and stared at the three streaks of light going away in the sky. He knew that even if they were fourth-level professionals, they would still have to endure a lot of hardships on their way back.
But this is how the world of challenge is. There is no enjoyment. The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility.
"You've worked hard. Go back and rest. I'll make breakfast tomorrow." Mu Zhong turned around and looked at Liu Chengzhi.
Liu Chengzhi seemed to be more alert at this moment and shook his head: "I can get up."
Mu Zhong could actually understand it. With Liu Chengzhi in this state, anyone who got into Wei Huan's car would feel pressured.
This car is so good and the driver is the strongest. It seems that if you don’t squeeze yourself dry, you are not worthy of this car.
"How about this..." Mu Zhong glanced at the time, "If we don't have to travel tomorrow, we can get up later, maybe seven o'clock, and sleep two more hours, butler."
The smart butler replied: "Okay, the alarm will be on at 7:00 tomorrow morning. Does the driver also need a delayed wake-up call?"
Mu Zhong said, "When he wakes up, we can tell him about our situation."
"OK."
The two of them went upstairs to their room one after the other. At the door, Liu Chengzhi didn't rush in and asked Mu Zhong: "Boss Mu, I heard you have a lot of recipes here. Can you show them to me?"
Mu nodded, went into the house and came out again with a stack of recipes. The one on top must have been read frequently, as the edges of the cover were curled and worn.
Mu Zhong handed the book to Liu Chengzhi and said solemnly, "I'll trouble you from now on."
Liu Chengzhi vaguely felt as if he had inherited the "inheritance spoon". A sense of mission rose spontaneously, and he patted his chest: "Don't worry, if I don't fatten you up, I will be derelict in my duty!"
"...That's not necessary." Mu Zhong shook his head and smiled, "Good night."
…
Wei Huan's biological clock wakes him up one minute before his alarm clock usually wakes him up.
He waited in the dark for the alarm to ring, while recalling his last memory in the tomb before he fell into a coma yesterday.
After regaining consciousness, the first thing he recognized was the transparent undead creature floating in the air, called the "Lord of the Demon Eye".
This is certainly not the name of the creature itself, but rather the human perception of it.
[Its eyeballs are covered in bloodshot veins, and its pupils are like those of a snake, emitting an ominous red light when opening and closing. It can also fire black, laser-like straight lines of damage. A pair of black bat wings flank its body, giving it the ability to fly. It is a magical creature that only exists in myths and legends.]
Wei Huan has always been very clear that the undead soldier he can recruit in the next stage is the "Lord of the Demon Eye".
He was also very much looking forward to the "Lord of the Demon Eye", an air-to-ground long-range combat unit that could make up for the fact that his undead units were almost all land units.
But it was obvious that his current strength was still far from enough. Not only could he not recruit the Lord of the Demon Eye, he couldn't even observe him.
Unless he advances to Sequence Three: Gravewor.
But yesterday, when I was extremely tired and close to coma, I seemed to have not only observed the other party, but also successfully completed the recruitment?
The last thing on the memory was the green flames ignited in the eyes of the Demon Eye Lord.
If I wasn't really hallucinating, then the green flame could only be the fire of death!
When Wei Huan thought of this, his consciousness couldn't wait to return to the Temple of Occupations.
You have to see it with your own eyes to confirm it.
He returned to the large tomb, still on Small's back.
After he left last night, Xiaodian didn't move at all, waiting for his return.
Feeling the movement behind him, Xiaodian uttered a happy hum: "Yi~~"
Wei Huan patted the smaller creature's back soothingly, stood up, and looked over.
The swarms of undead creatures surrounding him were all his valiant warriors! Fearless and courageous, they bravely led the charge! They constantly gazed at him with surging fighting spirit, waiting for the next expedition, swearing to serve him to the death!
Seeing this imposing scene early in the morning, Wei Huan's blood boiled and he couldn't wait to go out and fight again.
He suppressed his emotions and scanned the legion carefully. Just when he thought that what he experienced yesterday was indeed an illusion.
Realizing something, he looked up suddenly.
Then, just above his head, he saw an eyeball as big as a basketball, flapping its wings and looking at him.
The burning green in his pupils had already left Wei Huan's mark deeply on him.
Through the fire of death, he also felt his control over this undead creature.
hundred percent!
It obeys him completely and is absolutely loyal to him and will never betray him!
Wei Huan waved to it, and the Demon Eye Lord, who had been flying above his head, landed obediently on the side of his shoulder.
The wings flapped up and down, but the flow of air could not be felt. In fact, the Lord of the Demon Eye's ability to fly had nothing to do with the wings.
After staring at the Demon Eye Lord for a while, Wei Huan suddenly realized that the Demon Eye Lord was not a skeleton.
It is almost the same as the living Lord of the Demon Eye that we have seen in reality, except that the middle of his pupils is green.
No wait, the bloodshot that should have covered its eyeballs turned from red to black. This transformation reminded Wei Huan of the zombie-like undead life, whose blood and organs had turned black.
So, the Lord of the Evil Eye is a zombie?
This zombie isn't ugly after all.
Wei Huan looked at his own big eyes, and unknowingly his aesthetic taste became biased.
I used to think facehuggers were kind of cute, but now I think their large eyes are beautiful. Even the black web-like lines under the eye mask have a twisted mystery to them.
"What abilities do you have?" Wei Huan seemed to be talking to himself, but was also communicating with the Lord of the Demon Eye.
The higher the star level of recruitment, the more unfamiliar Wei Huan became. Even though he had some knowledge of creatures like the Demon Eye Lord in the "Dark Beast List", the undead were different.
The Lord of the Demon Eye actually understood his words and began to fly upwards. At the same time, Wei Huan felt that his vision was distorted, like some kind of invasion.
He was nervous for a moment, and then he realized that he could interrupt this "invasion" at any time, and even kill the Demon Eye Lord who caused all this, without leaving even a drop of tissue fluid.
I felt relieved and let the other party take it away... or rather, share the vision with myself.
Soon his vision changed.
With his permission, his left eye shared the vision of the Lord of the Demon Eye and reached high into the sky.
Looking down from a high place, he saw his own body standing on the small dot's back shell, and also saw countless undead skeletons wandering on the charred land.
The tomb is so huge that you can't see the end of it at a glance, but you can vaguely confirm that you are very close to the top.
Where is the highest point of the tomb?
As Wei Huan thought this, his vision seemed to have adjusted its focus through the Lord of the Magic Eye, and the distant scenery was quickly brought closer and enlarged.
As long as he wanted, there would be no obstacles in the way of his target. He could even see the dirty and hard nails on the claws of a thuloma a thousand meters away.
Wei Huan was not disappointed with this ability.
Very happy, this is exactly what he expected.
The Demon Eye Lord not only fills the gap in his aerial ranged units, but also solves his vision problem.
Whenever he wanted to explore the ruins, he could share his vision with the Lord of the Magic Eye and take full command of the entire process while sitting in the car.
More important.
In a battle like yesterday's, if he could control his vision, he could order the fire crows to avoid the battlefield, and there would not be such a huge loss.
Maybe even the hideous faces of the creatures hiding on the rhino's back can be seen.
Wei Huan ordered the Lord of the Demon Eye to continue flying forward, indulging in the pleasure of changing vision.
It was also the first time to observe this tomb from a different angle.
The tomb is so huge and boundless, it is almost like a country.
Moreover, Wei Huan discovered that when he was patrolling the mountain as a tomb keeper, he did not circle the entire tomb at all. It seemed that he only circled one peak.
These mountains are like huge tombs located in this vast world. Thick black fog permeates between the tombs, separating them into mounds.
Near the nearest large tomb, Wei Huan discovered that there seemed to be some living creature wandering there.
But when he wanted to take a closer look, he was suddenly stuck.
Yes, it's stuck.
Even in the professional temple, there is still a distance limit between the summoned creature and his original body.
It's impossible to leave the radius centered on him...now it's about 4 kilometers.
Wei Huan floated in the air with regret. After confirming that the Lord of the Demon Eyes also had its limits in vision and that he could not clearly see what was wandering around in those tombs, he could only slowly retract his gaze.
But my heart is no longer at peace.
It turns out that there is more than one tomb.
In this world where the boundaries cannot be seen clearly, there are so many graves.
Are they all tombs of dark beasts? Or are they not just tombs of dark beasts?
Wei Huan thought that he had been reborn and had mastered a lot of secrets that people did not know at the moment.
It wasn't until this moment that I realized that this world has so many secrets.
When he answered one question, a hundred more would appear waiting for him.
Where does this boundless mausoleum come from? Who is buried within these tombs? What makes humans the challenger? What is the truth of this world? Is there really... a God?
Wei Huan was immersed in such thoughts until he felt the rejection of the tomb, and he unknowingly consumed a lot of energy.
He suddenly opened his eyes and regained consciousness.
It was already daybreak.
The bright sunlight shines through the window lattice and falls on my arms, which is warm and comfortable, reminding me of the feeling of getting up when the weather is good on Blue Star.
But in the world of challenges, there will never be such a comfortable environment.
During the day, the desert weather can roast a person alive into jerky.
The reason why they feel comfortable is that they are strong enough, develop fast enough, and have a third-level car that everyone envies.
In the Challenge World, a level 3 vehicle is the highest expectation of ordinary challengers.
A luxury RV and a two-story villa can shelter you from wind and rain. As long as you don’t encounter monster attacks, you can go anywhere.
Some challengers who are content with the status quo often say, "Level 4 vehicles are ground fortresses. They are military products and are destined for the front lines. We just need to have enough food and clothing. Level 3 vehicles are enough."
Wei Huan was lying in the third-level car at the moment. After relieving excessive energy consumption, he felt a little dizzy when he opened his eyes.
At the same time, the fingers slowly closed, as if catching the sunlight in the palm of the hand.
Then he turned over and got out of bed.
"Butler, what time is it now?"
The smart housekeeper said: "It is 6:21 in the morning."
No wonder it takes so much energy.
I stayed in the Temple of Careers for another seven or eight hours without realizing it, and the little energy I had recovered last night was completely consumed again, which is why I felt so uncomfortable.
But even if it feels uncomfortable, it's time to get up.
Wei Huan steadied himself and stood up. He went to the bathroom first, and when he came out, his complexion looked better.
"Where are Mu Zhong, Liu Chengzhi and the others?"
"We had visitors on the train last night: a fourth-rank soldier king, Captain Wang, Liu Xiaotian, and Miaomiao. They didn't leave until two in the morning. The deputy train captain delayed the morning alarm to seven. But now the deputy train captain and Chef Liu have left the room."
This passage contains a lot of information.
Wei Huan thought about it and only asked the simplest question: "Is there a chef position in a level three vehicle?"
"No, Chef Liu wants me to call him that."
“…”
Wei Huan opened the door and went downstairs. When he reached the stairs, he saw Mu Zhong sitting in a wheelchair and coming upstairs.
The two bumped into each other at the corner. After a moment of hesitation, Mu Zhongxian smiled and said, "The housekeeper told me that you have woken up. You worked hard yesterday."
Wei Huan explained: "I went to the Professional Temple and recruited new soldiers."
Mu Zhong's eyes lit up: "What an unexpected surprise! What kind of troops are they?"
"Lord of the Demon Eye."
Wei Huan naturally walked around behind Mu Zhong's wheelchair and pushed him downstairs slowly, his movements and tone very gentle. "I'll show you how to do it later. The housekeeper said that Captain Wang and the others came and left yesterday?"
"Yes." Mu Zhong turned his head and saw Wei Huan's jaw and Adam's apple moving up and down as he spoke. He stared at them for a second, then came to his senses and felt confused. He took out a USB drive from his pocket and said, "Let's watch it together after dinner. It's an official secret."
"Okay." Wei Huan didn't ask if it was okay for him to see this confidential information. After calming down for a few days, he was no longer opposed to the Northeast Challenge Army. He was even a little worried about the Northeast Army's current situation.
These days, he tried hard to recall his memories of the Northeast Army in his previous life, but the more he recalled, the angrier his face became.
Since the last major defeat of the Northeast Army, the corps commanders have been replaced three or four times in the following years, but only one of them was promoted and died in battle not long after.
Not to mention the legion commanders under them, who died silently, and the casualties were often in the thousands or even tens of thousands.
The high-level dark beasts are very smart. They know that the weak point of the human Da Xia is the Northeast Challenge Army, so they focus on attacking the weak points in defense.
The current situation of the Northeast Challenge Army can be described in one word: "difficult".
As far as I can remember, Commander Mu never became a commander, and his name never appeared in battle reports. That is to say, Commander Mu probably died when he was just a newcomer.
Without Commander Mu, would Mu Zhong, who had lost his legs, still be alive? What would become of his mother and sister in such a chaotic world? Just thinking about it made him suffocate.
Whether from personal feelings or national justice, the Northeast Challenge Army cannot fall.
So deep down in his heart, he has gradually drawn himself into the circle of the Northeast Challenge Army, and is willing to do so even if he can only contribute a tiny bit of insignificant strength.
Since he has witnessed the destruction of mountains and rivers with his own eyes, he should fight bravely and fight against fate.
Therefore, faced with this so-called legion secret, Wei Huan naturally accepted his new position and new identity.
When I went downstairs, I smelled meat from the kitchen.
Liu Chengzhi turned around to look at them, his eyes bright with a smile: "You've come just in time, the fresh and delicious noodles are out of the pot!"
A large bowl of noodles and meat sauce was served on the table, with shredded cucumbers, green onions and garlic slices placed on the side.
A bowl of steaming noodle soup is placed on the side, sprinkled with chopped green onions. Just wait for the noodles to be eaten and then serve another bowl. The original soup and the original food are delicious.
At first, Mu Zhong and Wei Huan wanted to talk about what happened yesterday.
After finishing the first mouthful of noodles with soybean paste, the two of them stopped talking.
The taste was just right, rich and authentic. It was simply the oldest and most authentic noodle with soybean paste they had ever eaten in Beijing.
"Did you roll the noodles yourself?" Mu Zhong noticed something different when he tasted it. "The noodles are fragrant and chewy, and delicious."
"Yeah." Wei Huan didn't say much. He just poured another bowl and gave direct praise.
Liu Chengzhi smiled so happily that his teeth were visible and his eyes were invisible. "If my grandma hadn't insisted that I be a playboy, I might have become a chef, or even a food broadcaster."
Liu Chengzhi's life became brighter because of this breakfast.
Be proactive: "Just tell me what you want to eat. It doesn't matter if I don't know how to make it. As long as I have a recipe, I can make it!"
Mu Zhong was a man who knew how to praise others. "With you on board, our living standards have changed dramatically. As long as you're on the life list, we'll be number one."
Liu Chengzhi nodded: "It's not as much as you say. I will try my best and won't let you regret letting me get on the car."
"Okay, from today on, our logistical support will be completely handed over to you. Can you take it?"
Liu Chengzhi patted his chest loudly: "Sure! No problem! I will complete the task!!"
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong finished their breakfast and went to the cab with their full stomachs.
Liu Chengzhi hummed a song and began to clean the kitchen, already thinking about what to make for lunch.
The two men arrived at the cab and before they could close the door, they saw the male captain walking back and forth outside.
I'm afraid I've been waiting for them for some time.
When the door was opened to let people get on the bus, the male captain's head was so hot that it was smoking and almost burning.
After getting on the car, he didn't stay for long and said, "We have received the order and have to go back soon. The supply point we are in charge of cannot be left unattended. The garrison troops arranged by the legion are already on the way.
By tomorrow noon at the earliest, most of the first wave of newcomers will arrive here to rest and recuperate, and by then there will be a large number of returning people..."
Having said that, the male captain scratched his head embarrassedly and didn't say the rest of the words.
Everyone knew that Wei Huan was going to move on, so it was inappropriate to ask him to stay here.
But the situation is special now. The Northeast Challenge Army is short of people everywhere and is stretched to the limit. Many supply points and cities are restless, and there is an unknown force surging in secret.
Yesterday's white rhino and the female shaman on it who was obviously human made the Legion alert.
When the order comes down, the first thing to do is to guard the base under your responsibility.
The two teams responsible for the rescue were unable to stay and help with the restoration and construction.
"Whose order is this? Do you want us to stay and help with the reconstruction?" Mu Zhong frowned, looking unhappy.
There is nothing wrong with giving him the order, but the car is not his, it belongs to Wei Huan. Wei Huan is not serving in the legion now, and he has no military rank and no salary. It is somewhat unreasonable to give Wei Huan the order, as a student of Challenge University.
Mu Zhong could feel the change in Wei Huan's mentality, so now he had to be more considerate of Wei Huan's feelings. Not to mention his personal emotional issues, even a talent like Wei Huan deserved the legion's respect, and it would be best if his father could personally invite him.
The male captain hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, there is no such order..."
After some explanation, it turned out that they were about to leave and were worried about leaving Xu Qingqiang and the other three third-level professionals behind. Fan Tao was only a second-level blessing speaker and also had to take care of the reconstruction of the supply point, so they hoped to temporarily keep Brother Qiang in their car until the successor came to hand over.
Mu Chong looked at Wei Huan.
Wei Huan lowered his eyes and felt that this was indeed a problem, so he made a decision immediately.
"Send those three people to my car. It's just right. I also want to go to the treasure spot to take a look."
