Dark Beast Roster
Chapter 34
The Ghost Crow is indeed a "magic weapon" for exploring the way.
When the last territory core was smashed by Xiuluma's fist, the system broadcast appeared.
[Human car owner Wei Huan slaughtered all the Dark Beasts in Area 3900 and achieved the achievement "Dark Beast Nemesis."]
[Title of Dark Beast Nemesis]
[Dark Beast Hatred +100%]
Obtain the Dark Beast Roster
Wei Huan: “…”
Mu Zhong: “…”
Before they could continue to attack this title that would increase hatred, what benefits could it bring, a new system notification sounded.
【Serial Kill Mission】
【Reward Gold Treasure Box】
[Next Stage: 1000/5000 Mission Points, Reward: 1 Platinum Treasure Chest]
【Settlement? Yes/No】
Compared to the previous incomprehensible "hatred-attracting achievement", Wei Huan and Mu Zhong were more attracted by this notice.
The two people thought of a possibility at the same time.
Can I continue this mission?!
And if they continue to grind like this, is it possible that one day they will get a diamond treasure chest?
Floating.
Wei Huan was thinking that the golden treasure chest couldn't even satisfy him, so how could he dare to covet the diamond treasure chest.
To get a platinum treasure chest, he would have to defeat 4,000 lords of the same level. So, to get a diamond treasure chest, he would probably have to kill more than 10,000 lords of the same level in a row?
Especially after obtaining the "Dark Beast Nemesis", one can imagine that the difficulty of the mission will increase sharply.
The high-level dark beasts are also very smart. After learning of his existence, they will definitely kill him on various battlefields.
He must have made endless arrangements against him, both overtly and covertly. Who dares to say that he can complete the task without fail?
But even though he thought so much at this moment, Wei Huan still pressed his finger on the [No] button in the end.
Challenge the world, failure means death.
If you don't want to die, of course you can only win in a row.
Why not set higher goals?
From beginning to end, Mu Zhong did not make any suggestions. He silently waited for Wei Huan's choice. The smile on his lips and the expression of trust told him.
No matter what, he supports him.
[Random Challenge is about to close, transmission countdown, 3, 2, 1. ]
The countdown ends and the feeling of teleportation appears again.
When they came to their senses again, they had already left the Lord's World and returned to the car.
Wei Huan returned to the familiar driver's seat and turned around to see Mu Zhong who had also been teleported out.
The two looked at each other, then relaxed and fell back into their seats.
Looking at each other's tired faces and dark circles under the eyes, they suddenly laughed.
Wei Huan said, "Your stamina has dropped to 20 again."
Mu Zhong said, "What about you? Didn't you take a look?"
“I’m too lazy to read.”
"Then let me see it."
Wei Huan was really tired, exhausted both physically and mentally. Once he relaxed, he was too lazy to even move a finger.
Mu Zhong propped himself up and raised his hand to take off the glasses on Wei Huan's nose.
Without his glasses, Wei Huan's severely disfigured face reappeared. Mu Zhong didn't even blink, put on his glasses and looked at Wei Huan.
"Endurance 91, Dark Power 0. Your glasses are really interesting. I wish I could have one."
Wei Huan raised his hand and touched his face. He realized belatedly that he was still a little concerned about his appearance.
He tilted his head, looked at the white mist outside the windshield, and said, "You can try it with a secondary profession. Maybe glasses will be counted as vehicle parts."
"That's going to require advancing to Sequence 2 and becoming a Junior Technician." After a pause, Mu Zhong straightened himself, looked out the window, and said, "I can't wait to enter the next road challenge. 'Pilot'... that's quite interesting."
The corners of Wei Huan's mouth moved, but he finally fell silent again.
[Pilot Sequence] is not the only legendary profession, but there are too few people who awaken this sequence, and even fewer who survive.
This unpopular sequence was not widely publicized by the official until a Sequence 5 [Mecha Technician] appeared, which completely changed the perception that this sequence was purely auxiliary.
What is the end of the driver sequence?
Is it about driving and building starships?
Perhaps the ultimate goal of this cruel evolution is to allow the victor to use the body of a god to drive a starship, travel to the depths of the universe, and explore the real world.
Both of them were too tired, so they had a simple dinner, just a bowl of instant noodles each.
Before the instant noodles were ready, Wei Huan opened the box, which turned out to be another golden treasure chest rewarded from a series of tasks.
again?
hey-hey.
[Get Gold Stamina Potion X1]
【Get Gold Endurance Helmet X1】
【get……】
Mu Zhong, who was eating instant noodles, was surprised: "Did I open a duplicate piece of equipment?"
"One is a potion, and the other is a helmet."
"It's the helmets. Two endurance helmets. We can sell one."
After Mu Zhong's reminder, Wei Huan remembered that this was indeed the case.
He deliberately took out two golden endurance helmets for comparison.
Both add 200 stamina, but one increases the block value by 100 after wearing it, and the other increases the armor by 100 after wearing it.
In other words, there are differences between equipment with the same name.
What do "block" and "armor" represent?
Perhaps the former means that there is a higher probability of withstanding the opponent's attack without getting hurt.
The latter means that the helmet is harder and more durable.
"It's time to eat." Mu Zhong shouted.
Wei Huan came back to his senses, stood up and brought the instant noodles from the cooking table.
At the same time, he said, "Will you go back tomorrow morning?"
It means leaving the car and returning to Blue Star.
"We had a big event this time, exceeding our goals. Oh, and that Dark Beast Buster and the roster reward, have you seen them?"
Wei Huan remembered, clicked on the warehouse, and took out the "Dark Beast List".
A book as thick as three bricks appeared in the teleportation array in the living room.
It felt heavy, and the outer surface felt like some kind of animal hide, with ancient and unfamiliar words written on it.
Wei Huan put it on the table and opened it directly. Fortunately, the words inside were words he recognized.
"It's so thick? What's written inside?" Mu Zhong leaned over and their heads were squeezed together.
When I opened the first page, I saw a history of dark beasts.
[The dark beast tribe is located in the dark plane No. 33. Its original form came from the single-cell carbon-based life that evolved after the dark particles mutated.
【Attached photos】
[It is flat like a leaf and can move in the dark atmosphere, dividing and multiplying. It is called the dark leaf flatfoot.]
[Over the next 320 million years, influenced by the dark plane, the dark particles in the universe gathered into atoms. A large number of dark leaf flats inhabited them, undergoing metamorphosis and becoming multicellular organisms...]
Wei Huan came to his senses only after he had unknowingly reached page six and this long evolution had finally reached the stage of "protostomes" and "deuterostomes".
Mu Zhong was obviously unable to concentrate because of the heavy taste at this stage.
Their eyes met at the same time.
Upon closer inspection, I realized the distance was a bit too close.
I could only hurriedly look at the roster again.
Mu Zhong said: "It is simply a record of the dark side of human biological evolution."
"Um."
"Could this be the reason why our human opponent is the Dark Beast Clan?"
"perhaps."
"Skip this part for now. Let me see what comes next."
Wei Huan didn't say anything, but flipped through the pages quickly. He flipped through half of the book before he found what he wanted to read.
【One Star Ghost Crow】
【Attached photos】
[It has wings and can fly at speeds of up to 220 km/h. It feeds on parasites from low-level dark beasts such as running wolves and violent bears. Its sharp beak and long claws are its main means of attack. It is an excellent hunter who excels at observation and lurking.]
【Two Star Ghost Crow】
【Attached photos】
[It has wings and can fly at speeds of up to 250 km/h... Its beak and claws are sharp, and its cry is shrill and piercing, having a mild effect on the mind...]
【Three Star Ghost Crow】
【Attached photos】
[It has wings and can fly at speeds of up to 300 km/h... Its cry is piercing and sharp, and has a certain stimulating effect on the mind...]
【Four-star Ghost Crow】
【Attached photos】
[It has wings and can fly at speeds of up to 300 km/h... Its cry is shrill and piercing, extremely stimulating to the mind, causing dizziness, slowness, fear, and other negative states. It cannot be avoided by physical means such as blocking the ears, and can only be overcome with sufficient willpower. If you encounter a ghost crow of this level, you must wake up as soon as possible, using pain stimulation or shouting to regain consciousness.]
【Five Star Ghost Crow】
【Attached photos】
[It has wings and can fly at speeds up to 350 km/h...]
【Six-star Ghost Crow】
[…Speed 400… Its beak and claws can cut through gold and split stone, incredibly strong, comparable to legendary weapons…]
【Seven-Star Ghost Crow】
[Speed 450, can enter rapid mode, temporarily shuttle between the dark plane and the light plane, possesses the Eye of Insight...]
【Eight-Star Ghost Crow】
[…In the rapid state, you can enter the light plane for a long time…]
【Nine-star Ghost Crow】
[It can freely travel between different worlds and roam the universe. Its voice is like a dirge, it destroys souls, and it enjoys eating the brains of living things...]
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong were speechless for a long time as they looked from one star to nine stars in one breath.
It was Mu Zhong who spoke first: "Finally evolved into a mythical life form?"
Wei Huan said, "That's normal. It's a legend for us to make it to the end of our career sequence."
"I didn't expect that a tiny ghost crow has such great potential."
“This information is not accurate.”
Mu Chong looked at Wei Huan.
Wei Huan said, "After the ghost crow transformed into a spirit, its speed instantly increased to maximum, but other than its cry, it lost its other means of attack."
"Everyone is dead, so there must be changes. This is a list of dark beasts, not a list of undead."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows and curled his lips slightly: "But this list will be very useful to the Challenge Legion."
"Indeed, it's very large, so you want to turn it in?"
"Why not?"
"Wei Huan."
"Um?"
"It's not peaceful out there. There will definitely be a lot of trouble if we go out tomorrow."
"It's okay, I can handle it."
"Blue Star doesn't allow the use of supernatural powers."
"That depends on our opponents and whether they follow the rules."
"Okay, eat the noodles first, it won't taste good if you soak it later."
Because they both wanted to continue reading "Dark Beast Book", they simply ate noodles side by side.
Wei Huan, who was sitting on the right, held down the pages with one hand. After they finished reading a page, they continued to turn the pages.
Before they knew it, they had finished a bowl of noodles and hadn't even read one thousandth of the book. Both of them were a little reluctant to put it down.
The most boring book records the hope of human victory.
It's a matter of life and death, so even a poor student would have to bite the bullet and watch it, not to mention that both of them love to learn.
Mu Zhong said as he read, "If only this book had been available earlier, so many people wouldn't have died."
"Yeah." Wei Huan nodded in his heart.
Yes, if only this book had been available earlier, humanity would not have been wiped out.
There is no strategy in the challenge world. The truth or falsehood of every piece of news is paid for with the life of the challenger.
This book is not worth real money, and it does not give Wei Huan the same enhanced attributes as in the game, but Wei Huan still feels that it is worth it to exchange the 100% hatred of the Dark Beast for this book.
This is a "magical book" that is powerful enough to change the situation.
The two of them were so engrossed in watching the film that they forgot to eat and sleep. When they came to their senses, they looked at each other's bloodshot eyes.
The last two days of hunting in the random challenge really drained their energy.
Wei Huan took charge and directly closed the book, saying, "Go to bed first."
"Wait." Mu Zhong rubbed his dry eyes. "I almost forgot something. What are your plans after you get out?"
"Send materials for a level 5 vehicle."
"What about delivering the materials?"
"join the army."
Mu Zhong pursed his lips: "Southwest Army?"
Wei Huan nodded without hesitation, his attitude firm, and then asked: "If you have any ideas, just tell me directly."
"Northeast Army..." Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan, waiting for his answer.
This time, Wei Huan still shook his head without hesitation.
"Okay, I understand." Mu Zhong smiled, his nails digging into the flesh.
The two of them didn't even put away the instant noodle boxes after eating, nor did they take a shower or clean up. They returned to their room, fell on the bed with their clothes on, and fell asleep in less than a minute.
This time, I slept very soundly.
When Wei Huan opened his eyes, he found that it was already eight o'clock the next morning.
The Challenge World's schedule is set at 6 o'clock, which causes the Blue Planet's schedule to adjust accordingly.
So it has been a long time since I slept until eight o'clock.
Mu Zhong was obviously exhausted yesterday. Even after Wei Huan got up and washed up, he still hadn't woken up.
He came to the kitchen with wet hair and stood there blankly for three minutes. Finally, he simply opened the system page and chose to teleport out.
Can’t you make it, but can’t you buy it?
He remembered that he passed by that day and saw a porridge restaurant on the roadside nearby, and a fried noodle shop next to it...
The feeling of returning to Blue Planet from the Challenge World is very special.
It's not just the change in magnetic field gravity, but also the feeling of being at a loss when returning to the mundane world from crisis and loneliness.
Wei Huan actually doesn't like coming back to Blue Star.
It’s not that he doesn’t like Blue Star. Blue Star is his hometown and he loves this planet deeply.
However, as a challenger who has been fighting in the challenge world for a long time, he lived in a car all year round in his previous life, or fought hard in the challenge world. One day, he suddenly found that he could no longer live an ordinary and peaceful life as if he were stealing a bell.
Such peace and happiness, such a peaceful and prosperous world.
An elderly person passed by, taking a toddler to kindergarten and returning with a basket of fresh vegetables. Workers stuck in traffic frantically honked their horns, then swerved, cursing. A passing bun shop billowed with white smoke, the sweet aroma of noodles filling my nostrils. In my ears, the bell rang at the end of morning self-study at a nearby elementary school, and the children's joyful laughter echoed like a floodgate.
It is the blue planet that he cherishes and protects, and it is also the blue planet to which he can never return.
Carrying two bags of breakfast, Wei Huan walked back in a hurry. He was more anxious than when he came. He was eager to get back to the car.
Just as I entered the residential complex, before I even reached the downstairs, a group of people came out from behind the bushes.
There were five of them in total, all of them strong adults, with a unique aura of challengers.
As soon as they appeared, they surrounded Wei Huan and blocked all his escape routes.
Wei Huan looked at them calmly, motionless.
There were many people coming and going in the community in the morning, but the alert elderly men and women obviously noticed that the atmosphere was not right early on and avoided them from a distance.
For a moment, there was no one within a 50-meter radius of the area where they were.
Only two "quack" sounds were heard above my head.
A black shadow passed over the treetops, startling the birds that were originally resting on the trees, and they flew away in a whoosh.
"Mr. Wei, our boss wants to see you." The leading man forced out a ferocious smile and looked difficult to talk to.
Wei Huan glanced at him, his strong body and the complete set of individual weapons he had transformed into.
This is a real soldier of the third level, and he is very familiar with it.
The remaining four are all second-level warriors. The [Farmer Sequence] is the sequence with the most awakenings, the profession with the most remaining in the challenge world, and the "value for money" that is most favored by some private chaebols.
Working for a private company is very profitable.
"Mr. Wei?" The leader of the conversation was polite. Although he was impatient, he suppressed his impatience and said, "We have been waiting for you for three days. The brothers are tired and sleepy. It won't hurt for you to meet the boss. Now, please come in."
The latter part of the sentence clearly contained a hint of threat.
Wei Huan's gaze returned to the leading real soldier and he said calmly, "Are you here for the treasure chest?"
Without waiting for the other party to respond, Wei Huan continued: "No time, no, no, no, get out of the way."
The real soldiers led the way: "..."
Then his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he took a step forward: "Mr. Wei, you are putting us in a difficult position. Whether to make a deal or not is a matter between you and the boss. Our mission is to take you there."
Wei Huan frowned: "Am I your father?" Is it necessary to embarrass you?
This retorted to the leader of the real soldiers, and the fire between his brows suddenly emerged. He smiled with a fake smile, "Stop joking and come with us."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to grab Wei Huan's hand, trying to control him.
The sudden move was also meant to test. Wei Huan won the overall championship in the primary road challenge, which was enough to prove his strength. The notice last night further proved that Wei Huan was not someone to be trifled with.
If we really can't bring Wei Huan back, we must at least bring back some information.
However, the leader of the real soldiers didn't even touch Wei Huan's hand before a group of figures floated by. Wei Huan crossed his feet and in an instant he broke away from the encirclement and stood outside.
The second-level warriors were like wood. They were gone before they could even react.
"Nice skills! Are you a warrior? Or a trickster?"
Wei Huan steadied his shaking takeout, looked up at the other person deeply, and said, "Tell your boss that you can take out my things, but I will only cooperate with the Challenge Legion. Don't waste each other's time."
After saying that, Wei Huan turned around and left without waiting for the other party's response.
The five people who were left blocking the road looked at the growing crowd around them, and in the end, they were afraid to take action and left in disappointment.
Wei Huan entered the building and disappeared from countless sights.
On the rooftop, behind the window, and on the big tree, pairs of thoughtful eyes looked away at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, countless messages flew out from here.
"Wei Huan is out, he's a melee profession."
…
"Wei Huan is suspected to be a thief."
…
"Yes, he made it clear that he had no intention of cooperating with private individuals."
…
"He's a student at Challenger University. Those schools are the reserve forces of the Challenge Legion. I suggest starting with the school. If he really cooperates with the Challenge Legion, we won't be able to do anything about it."
…
at the same time.
The people arranged here by the Challenge Legion also learned of Wei Huan's statement.
Mu Dehao, who was in the capital, also got the news first.
When he heard the report, his eyebrows raised, not surprised.
The intelligence minister who came to report was very happy: "Look, are our people going to make contact?"
Mu Dehao waved his hand and said, "No need. Arrange the people who are there to keep an eye on it and make sure they don't get into any trouble."
"Just protection? But..." Mu Dehao glared back at her.
The intelligence chief thought about it and said, "Commander Dong has been asking me to investigate Wei Huan's information. He said it was related to the fifth-level tank. Now they have come out. Look..."
Mu Dehao sighed and said, "Our Tier 4 tank has been stuck for a long time."
"so……"
"So what? What did you think of? Okay, okay, go out first and let me think about it."
After the intelligence minister left, Mu Dehao picked up his phone and scratched his head as if he wanted to stare holes in it.
I couldn't help it and dialed the number.
The phone was connected, and a voice came from the other end: "Dad..."
Mu Dehao almost broke down in tears.
…
The old elevator door opened with a clang sound that echoed in the silent corridor.
From a very distant place, there came a few "quack quack" sounds, the irritating bird calls.
Wei Huan walked out of the elevator.
I had just taken three steps when I suddenly felt the air flowing, bringing with it the sound of something sharp cutting through the atmosphere.
He exerted force on his legs and delivered a handsome side kick.
The air on the left side twisted, and a blurry figure flew out with a scream.
With a "bang", he crashed into the wall, revealing a woman in a black tights, motionless and unconscious.
A dagger fell to the ground from his exhausted palm, making a "clang" sound.
Wei Huan frowned and went to stabilize the takeout box in his plastic bag.
The ghost crows kept calling "quack quack".
There was a hint of impatience in Wei Huan's eyes.
With a thought, countless black clouds rose around him, enveloping him in black fog.
The black fog expanded rapidly, filling the entire corridor. In a blink of an eye, all the thieves lurking there showed up with their heads in their hands and their bodies stiff.
He walked slowly past each stiff body, ignoring their eyes that were wide open with fear, and walked through the black fog and opened the door.
The black fog flowed into the room like running water, filling every small room.
Finally, in the bedroom, Mu Zhong was seen leaning against the table, trying hard not to fall down.
Then the black fog returned and disappeared beside him as if it were a replay.
Faintly, there was a distant "quack" sound coming.
Mu Zhong turned around, his face not looking very good, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
He asked hoarsely, "A lot of people came here?"
Wei Huan nodded and stared at Mu Zhong's face until he completely recovered from the coldness and fear caused by the ghost crow, and his brows also relaxed.
Then, he handed over the takeaway in his hand and said, "Eat and leave."
Mu Zhong took the breakfast without asking any questions. He knew what Wei Huan was thinking.
After just a few bites, he asked doubtfully, "Is it really that revealing?"
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows.
Mu Zhong said, "I say, is your profession so exposed?"
Wei Huan nodded.
He had no intention of hiding anything. Since the other party had attacked him, he would not cower in fear and passively take the beating.
He got so many good things, it was normal for others to covet them, so he had to let these ungrateful guys know that he got all the things by his own ability.
Moreover, participation in large-scale battlefields requires the deployment of legions, and only by demonstrating one's strength can one be deployed to important positions.
Different positions will earn different points.
The growth of a strong individual requires vast resources. Who will provide them? Do they just fall from the sky? Or do you hide among the crowd, acting like you're keeping a low profile and your wealth will shine, and that no one noticed my strengths, but you're blind. This is typical weakling thinking!
