Dancer's Voice
Chapter 31
The lord on the opposite side is gathering his legions.
Even the top 100 obey its orders, so its bloodline must be extremely high.
Even though the beast opposite him might still be a young one and might not have fully grown up yet, it was enough to arouse Wei Huan's vigilance.
Now he has enough cannon fodder troops, he needs more high-level troops.
However, his spiritual power was limited, so he could not even think about summoning any troops beyond Shuroma. Now it was difficult for him to even summon Shuroma.
But if he only recruited Roman soldiers, Wei Huan felt that they would not be able to cope with the upcoming battlefield, either in terms of quantity or strength.
Wei Huan, who was patrolling the tomb, wanted to go to the back to see if there were any ghost-like undead that could be recruited.
But halfway through the run, he changed his mind.
Actually, he also has a siege unit that can fight and carry. Besides being a bit disgusting and slow, everything else is pretty good...
Wei Huan woke up faster than expected.
Because some undead were teleported back, and when they saw him, they started making "clicking" sounds to complain, letting him know that a war had broken out outside.
Every group has its share of exceptions. Furthermore, the structure of the Dark Beast World is complex, and there's more than one high-level bloodline. Therefore, there will always be those who refuse to accept the situation and stay to continue developing.
When Wei Huan went out, the war had already begun.
The lords in the 101~200 area developed very well. After a battle, Wei Huan's casualties reached about 1.2%, and this was the result of Mu Zhong's BUFF.
I believe that if it enters the top 100, it will only be higher.
Not long after Wei Huan came out, the system announcement sounded.
[Congratulations, you've achieved three consecutive victories. Your rank has been elevated to Elite Invader, and your notoriety has been publicized throughout the region.]
[Complete the "Unexpected Event Elite Challenger Mission" and receive 3 Black Iron Treasure Chests as a reward]
[…You will be teleported to the territory of 1~100 lords and challenge them.]
【Please note that... is considered a failure.】
The rewards for side quests have become black iron treasure chests, which can contain current mainstream equipment, and their value has increased dramatically.
Even more comforting was another notification that sounded at the same time.
[Get points +10]
[Get mission points +1]
【Serial Kill Mission】
[Complete the Black Iron Treasure Chest Reward]
[Next Stage: 30/100 Mission Points, Reward: Silver Treasure Chest x1]
Complete the task requirements and get the Black Iron Treasure Chest!
Very important!
In the current situation of material scarcity, any item in the treasure chest can save lives.
Especially eating and drinking.
Mu Zhong, who had opened all the gold treasure chests until his hands were tired, solemnly took out the black iron treasure chest.
Open the treasure chest and supplies will pop out.
[Obtain Black Iron Spiritual Power Potion X1]
[Obtain Black Iron Strength Potion X1]
【Get sweet potato (large bag) x1】
…
"Two potions?" Mu Zhong saw the drops. "I did hear that random challenges here don't drop vehicle blueprints."
"Well, dark beasts rely more on their bloodline to improve their strength."
"Yes." Mu Zhong took out two bottles of medicine and handed them to Wei Huan. "Drink first. This battle will not be easy."
Wei Huan thought about it, nodded, took the medicine and drank it all.
Black Iron-grade potion, can increase attributes by up to 10 points.
However, Wei Huan had already drunk four bottles of spiritual power and strength potions.
If I drink any more now, I’ve reached my limit and can only add 6 points.
And drinking it again afterwards will not have any enhancing effect.
It seems that the improvement of 6 points is not much, but if you think about it, he drank 4 bottles of the same potion, it would add up to 40 points.
This is a scary number.
You should know that among the challengers in the same group, the strongest single attribute is probably only around 80 points.
Wei Huan’s highest spiritual power has reached 598 points!
318 of these attributes come from equipment.
The platinum crown of thorns with a suffix has the most additions.
The remaining 180 points of dark power, in addition to the 95 points of spiritual power he was born with, came from the dark power potion he drank, as well as the dark power that a few professions possessed.
It’s just 2 points away from reaching 600 levels of dark power, how terrifying.
I'm afraid he has already reached the attributes of the most powerful geniuses at the top.
But Wei Huan is still a novice challenger!
After drinking the potion, Wei Huan felt the energy surging in his body.
He pushed his glasses and said, "I wonder if those lords who gathered together will lose points?"
Mu Zhong was stunned and suddenly wanted to rub his hands like a fly.
Look what a boss is. The lords gather together to kill you.
Do you just want to group brush?
Next.
Wei Huan did not search for the lord to attack the city again. He conserved his energy and accumulated military strength.
Mu Zhong also rested with them.
At first, Mu Zhong opened his eyes hesitantly, looked around, and then found that the scattered undead were working diligently.
Kill any mosquitoes that fly by and cut open any earthworms that crawl by.
It seems there is really nothing to worry about.
I felt so relieved that I even fell asleep.
Ten minutes later, the transmission appeared.
Mu Zhong turned over and sat up. Seeing that Wei Huan was still in the Professional Temple and had not returned, he patted the ground beast under him and walked forward.
As soon as the earth beast moved, the undead army followed suit and spread out according to Wei Huan's original order.
This time, they were also teleported to a territory with a lord.
The ghost crows arrived one step ahead, circling the territory and making croaking sounds.
Then the undead slowly appeared from the horizon.
Mu Zhong was not in a hurry to start a war. The top 100 were extraordinary, so he had to wait for Wei Huan to come out.
But Wei Huan's undead did not listen to his command. Except for the ground beast he was sitting on, the others were like robots with a program set from the beginning, and they only moved along the predetermined route.
Between waking up Wei Huan and attacking the city, Mu Zhong finally chose the latter.
But he didn't expect that before he could apply the BUFF, the city wall of the lord in front of him collapsed with a loud bang, and dust and smoke flew everywhere.
When things calmed down, the territory that was just fine turned into the ruins we saw along the way.
The undead army stubbornly advanced forward, overturning everything they encountered along the way. Mu Zhong could only follow them.
Just then, he saw many human subjects in the territory, standing there in a daze as they were swallowed up by the darkness again.
This completely confirmed the speculation that these lords voluntarily gave up their territories.
Wei Huan is right, the future will be a tough battle.
Mu Zhong thought about it, took out the iron barrel that had just been opened from the warehouse, and placed it on the back of the ground beast.
Then he lit the charcoal at the bottom of the barrel, placed sweet potatoes, potatoes and a long piece of pork belly on top of the barrel, and closed the lid.
Man is iron and rice is steel!
Never mind, eat first and then fight.
After a while, the aroma of grilled meat and the sweet scent of sweet potatoes emanated from the iron bucket.
Even Wei Huan, who was in the Professional Temple, smelled the scent and turned over.
…
Wei Huan woke up after dark.
At six o'clock in the evening, the world was like a candle in a dark room that had been blown out, and everything was dark.
The undead army continued to advance tirelessly.
But because there was no order from Wei Huan, they walked slowly and only rustling sounds could be heard in the forest at night.
Wei Huan stood up tiredly, and through the thin flames in front of him, he saw Mu Zhong's profile illuminated by the orange flames.
In that extreme darkness, a film of light wrapped around his undulating and profound profile, presenting a unique texture.
"Awake?" Mu Zhong heard the noise and turned to look over.
Then, his eyes lit up with a warm smile, and he handed something to Wei Huan's arms, "The timing is perfect. It's better to wake up at the right time than to wake up early."
The thing in my arms is warm and hot, warming me against the coldness of the dark night in the world.
Wei Huan fumbled around for a bit, then lowered his head to look, and finally grasped both ends and pried them apart.
The sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, wrapped in the mist, exploded, filling the nose and going straight into the lungs.
Wei Huan's mental strength was drained, and he had no appetite, but he was still attracted by the fragrance and took a bite.
The soft, sandy and sweet taste of the noodles rushed straight to his head, instantly replenishing his overdrawn body.
After finishing half of the roasted sweet potato in just a few bites, he felt a little choked. Then Mu Zhong handed him a bowl of soup in a porcelain jar.
Hot steam was rising up, and the place where he shook hands was still very hot. Wei Huan took a sip and found that it was shrimp soup.
Fresh shrimps add freshness to the soup after being cooked, and a little salt adds to the taste. Not only can you eat the shrimp meat, but it can also help to smooth the throat.
Wei Huan thought this was pretty good, but when he turned around, Mu Zhong handed him a bunch of green vegetables.
The roasted meat is wrapped in green vegetables. The rich aroma of the meat satisfies the appetite, and the green vegetables wash away the greasiness that makes one feel a bit greasy.
As soon as Wei Huan opened his eyes, he was fed a bunch of food in a daze. At the end, he was given a roasted small potato in his hand and asked to dip it in pepper, salt and chili powder.
Wei Huan, with his mouth full, said: "..."
Compared to this, what did he make at noon?
Mu Zhong is a man who really has the ability to turn any difficult environment into enjoyable one.
In fact, Mu Zhong was a little anxious to "feed" the food. As soon as the last dish was served, he said anxiously, "It's just nightfall. We still have an hour to complete the mission. We haven't encountered any intact territory along the way. We have to hurry."
Logically speaking, they had to stop after dark and find a safe place to rest, besides, Mu Zhong was not in good health.
But the countdown of the mission was like a time bomb, and there was no way to stop.
Wei Huan was full and full, and his fighting spirit was high: "Okay, I have a solution."
"I know you have a way." Mu Zhong said with a smile, looking up at the sky.
The ghost crows that had been hovering around disappeared in an instant after receiving the order.
It also made Mu Zhong, who had been suppressed by the soul invasion, breathe a sigh of relief.
Wei Huan saw it and said, "Next time, keep them a little further away."
Mu Zhong remained noncommittal: "It's all about professional advancement, and you'll be able to overcome it quickly."
"Yeah." Wei Huan used his glasses to look at Mu Zhong's attributes and saw that he still had more than 100 endurance.
Only then did Wei Huan break open the potatoes.
The aroma of roasted potatoes is not as strong as that of sweet potatoes, but their light and soft texture paired with the pepper and salt chili paste has a unique flavor.
Mu Zhong did not collect the iron bucket, but stuffed more charcoal into it.
The flames suddenly became intense, and the floating sparks illuminated the area within two meters around.
Of course, they were still on the back of the mother earthbeast. The eight-legged spider walked very steadily, with only slight bumps throughout the journey.
Outside, you can’t see the depth of the thick fog, only the green fire of death, appearing and disappearing from time to time.
While Wei Huan was observing, Mu Zhong was also watching.
Suddenly, Mu Zhong laughed and said, "The undead are really a bug, right? If a legion like this were to go to war with any other race, the lack of food and fodder alone would cost lives.
Now, I just need to feed you."
Wei Huan was amused. He was really fed very well.
They chatted and laughed like this for a while.
The "quack" sound that had disappeared not long ago rang out again.
Went out to explore the ghost crow and came back.
Mu Zhong asked, "Did you find it?"
"Um."
Mu Zhong stuffed something in his mouth: "I'm done eating."
"good."
Wei Huan now has three tasks.
Mission 1: Main mission, kill 12713 lords. There are 62 hours left until the mission ends.
Task 2: Serial task, killing the lord will earn you 10 points and 1 task point.
Mission 3: A side quest where you become the boss of an "unexpected event" and kill three overlords in a restricted area within three hours. Failure to complete this mission will result in the mission being aborted, and you will not be able to become the "event boss" and receive any subsequent rewards.
There is no penalty for failing a side quest, but for Wei Huan, not being able to get a higher-level reward is already a punishment.
No matter what, he had to complete the side quests in this area.
The returning ghost crow conveyed the news of something unusual ahead in a language that only Wei Huan could understand.
Soon after, more ghost crows came back, croaking loudly. They all found their target and were heading in the same direction.
It seems that there is nothing else to say. It’s time to decide the winner in one game.
Wei Huan drove the ghost crows away, leaving only one ghost crow to lead the way, and he did not allow it to scream.
Then he took a look at Mu Zhong's endurance which had dropped to double digits. It seemed that he had underestimated the fighting power of the Ghost Crow.
"Set off?"
"Let's go!" Mu Zhong felt uncomfortable, but he was full of fighting spirit and his voice was louder than Wei Huan's.
The slowly advancing undead army received orders from Wei Huan.
The next second, it turned into a tide, surging in the darkness.
The journey was longer than they had imagined.
The ghost crow is a spirit creature with an extremely fast flying speed. It can cover thousands of meters in an instant and make a round trip in about ten minutes.
But for the Undead Legion, the same distance was more than ten times slower.
They hurried on in the dark night, and the countdown for the "side quest" was also decreasing rapidly.
Finally, less than ten minutes later, they saw a light in the distance.
The light from the watchtower not only expanded his vision, but also allowed Wei Huan to see the huge and magnificent city wall under the tower.
He is worthy of being the number one in the junior lord challenge world.
Just looking at this stone wall from afar is enough to make people sigh.
Not to mention the watchtowers, catapults, and crossbow carts placed on the city walls.
If we say that Wei Huan developed his "car" to the extreme of that stage in the primary road challenge.
Then the lord on the opposite side has also developed his territory to the extreme in the current world.
When Wei Huan saw this, he could be sure that the territory opposite was Territory 12713.
His main mission!
…
Just three hours ago, Lord 12713's system notified him that something had changed again.
[The countdown for the human wave siege has been adjusted again. The time left until the war breaks out is 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. Lords 12713, please prepare for the battle.]
Most of the lords in the area eventually chose to be loyal to its territory, and dark beasts carrying the lord's core continuously came to the gate of its territory.
The arrival of a large population means a doubling of material extraction.
Even though it has to build a large number of houses and increase the population unit limit, it is still many times faster than before.
Not to mention, he can transform excellent dark beasts into "warrior units".
The resources consumed by the surrendered population and converted warrior units are much less than those consumed by recruiting directly from the barracks.
The saved resources are invested in the construction of the territory.
In a short period of time, it had an eight-meter-high city wall and catapults.
Such development is comparable to that of the best second-level lord challenger.
It was even grateful for the oppression brought by these human invaders. Otherwise, even if it had a higher bloodline, it might not be able to command the loyalty of so many dark beasts.
Lord 12713, coiled on the top of the sweeping tower, looked at the booming territory below, and his tail, covered with neat and dense scales, swayed intermittently.
Occasionally, you can see the tip of the tail sliding by, a cracked hole and a pair of cruel and cunning eyes, climbing up the lord's shoulders with a rustling sound, and looking into the depths of darkness together.
Until the countdown, which was constantly being adjusted like crazy, reached the last second.
At the end of the watchtower's searchlight, a ball of orange fire appeared.
"Hiss..." The snake tail beside my ear made a threatening sound.
Lord 12713 stared at the fire in silence for a few seconds, and the dense scales on his body rustled and gradually turned into the same color as the darkness.
Then it spread its wings, glided out, and in an instant it was completely hidden in the darkness.
【Here we come! 】
[The humans from Blue Star are here. They can easily destroy @￥#! Your lord's territory. @￥@ lord, please be careful.]
[Damn Blue Star humans! They have the ability to drive the corpses of our race! How evil!]
"Kill this human, and Blue Planet will lose a genius. @￥@ Sir, please quickly transform me into a combat unit. I'm going to tear him apart!"
【Tear him apart! 】
[Tear him apart!!]
In such an atmosphere, the low-intelligence dark beasts have already picked up the rakes for digging the ground and the axes for chopping trees, revealing their brutal nature.
Even if it is just the lowest peasant unit, we must use our teeth to bite off a piece of flesh from the invaders.
There are more than 50 combat units that have been converted.
They are all Earth Beasts and Shuroma with advanced bloodlines, or even higher-level Dark Beasts.
Under the envious gaze of their tribe, they walked up the city wall with pride and dignity.
The stone city walls come from human civilization.
The dark beast that eats raw meat and drinks blood now knows the benefits of it.
The eight-meter-high and thick city wall is enough to block all attacks. Even Xiu Luoma, who has a fourth-level bloodline, cannot break in.
Not to mention, the long-range units on the city wall have great destructive power. It is impossible for any human to break through this territory!
And now, the dark beasts on the city wall have fighting spirit in their eyes.
Tear this human apart!
“Roar, roar, roar!”
Tear it apart and gain military merit!
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The dark beast will win!
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The roars from the city walls came one after another.
Even from a distance, you can feel the wild and manic atmosphere.
“Shushushu!”
“Shushushu!”
At this moment, a rustling sound came from the depths of the darkness and soon appeared within the coverage of the watchtower.
The roaring dark beast fell silent for two seconds.
In the dim light of the fire, the invading enemy's traces were revealed: densely packed white skeletons lying on the ground.
The small summoned beast, half a meter in size, is the specialty of the Earth Beast mother.
However, at this moment, it has turned into a means of the enemy, not only in appearance but also in huge numbers.
It's an indescribable feeling of oppression.
The highly intelligent dark beasts can even feel fear from the bones that have been resurrected from the dead.
They are all corpses, all of them.
And there are too many of them.
At a glance, there are thousands of them.
Considering that a mother earth beast can summon 20 to 30 little beasts, does the opponent have hundreds of earth beasts?
But this is not the end.
With the appearance of the Facehugger, the Undead troops, which set out at the same time but at a slower speed, also slowly appeared within the Dark Beast's field of vision.
A group of rotten bear zombies, with tattered fur hanging from their bones and black organs dragging out of their bodies, slowly walked out under the wave of facehuggers.
This scene is a complete spiritual pollution for the highly intelligent dark beasts.
Half a broken head, cloudy eyes, and yellow saliva flowing from the mouth.
The strong visual impact even made a high-level dark beast look angrily at the violent bears in the city below.
Immediately afterwards, under the protection of these violent bear zombies, a giant violent bear zombie, whose body was three times larger than the original one, slowly walked into the field of vision.
“Roar!”
“Hiss!”
"Hey~"
The moment they saw this giant zombie, the dark beasts felt a strong threat.
They bared their teeth, their back fur stood up, their nails protruded from their claws, and gurgling sounds came from their throats.
The giant violent bear zombie slowly moved forward among the undead army.
At the same time, during this process, its claws were raised high in pairs.
The height increased from 3 meters to 4 meters, and then to 5 or 6 meters.
The rotten head was almost as high as the city wall.
Finally, the lord, who was hiding somewhere unknown, issued a war order.
【The war begins!!】
The system broadcasts simultaneously.
Immediately afterwards, the catapult that had been tightened for a long time suddenly popped out!
“Whoosh!”
“Boom!”
Huge rocks fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the undead army.
"Hey!"
The skeleton of the facehugger was vulnerable and was shattered by the huge rocks, disappearing in large pieces.
The huge arrow from the crossbow flew out with a "buzz" and accurately passed through the body of the giant violent bear zombie.
"Puff" an arm was blown off.
Black, sticky corpse fluid flowed from the broken arm, staining a large area of land black.
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The dark beasts shouted with joy.
They don't want to fight such a huge and disgusting opponent themselves.
The role of fortifications once again proves that the power of science is very strong!
"Kill him!"
"Tear him apart!"
“Keep going!!”
Wei Huan couldn't understand the cries of the dark beasts, but he probably knew what the cries of these wild beasts meant.
Wei Huan glanced at Mu Zhong. The two of them didn't exchange any words, but they both understood each other's thoughts clearly.
So, the undead army continued to move forward, and the giant violent bear zombie attracted all the firepower.
The stones from the catapults were aimed at it, and the arrows from the crossbows were also aimed at it. Its body was torn to pieces, flesh and blood were scattered on the ground, and there were big holes in its chest that a person could easily pass through.
Crumbling.
But it still doesn't fall.
Undead creatures have no sense of pain and are not afraid of death. Once the master's order is passed down, even if it only has a pair of legs, it will walk to the city wall.
However, it was a violent bear after all, and it was too difficult for it to attract fire. The dense fire network tore it into pieces in a short while.
The body fell down with a loud bang, and the dark beasts shouted excitedly.
But before the whistling sound could grow louder, a strange sound was heard above the battlefield.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!"
"Boom! Boom boom boom!"
The monotonous drum beats bring an exciting rhythm, ringing in the ears like the roar of thousands of troops.
