Ruins Secret Treasure - Tentacles
Chapter 65
Xu Qingqiang let the two pigs scream and fall at his feet without even looking at them.
Like a vicious tiger, he pounced on the undead army that surrounded him in an attempt to control him.
The monster, covered in magic patterns, with twisted bones and no human form, held the head of a zombie bear and with a "wow" bite, tore off its rotten skin and even bit the hard skull underneath.
After removing the bones and skin and swallowing it, the black brain looked like a mouthful of buffet soup in Xu Qingqiang's eyes.
The three people in the car, including Wei Huan, almost vomited from nausea.
"What a lunatic." Mu Zhong sighed. This was too strong a taste.
But no matter how disgusted Wei Huan felt and how unexpected it was, he did not order other undead to stop Xu Qingqiang from eating.
He was even waiting for Xu Qingqiang's reaction after eating this "meal".
So under such observation, Wei Huan also had a clearer understanding of the combat effectiveness of "Distortion".
The Violent Bear Zombie, which is extremely powerful and has a strong bite force, is a very defensive and offensive force in Wei Huan's undead army.
But this kind of defense is nothing in the eyes of "Twisted". The bones are crunchy as if they were biscuits.
The violent bear zombie, which was over three meters long, couldn't even last three minutes after being eaten by the "twisted" monster, and was eaten to only a few residues.
During this process, Xu Qingqiang's stomach did not become bloated, but his body became stronger and he looked more muscular.
At the same time, the small bump on the forehead unexpectedly grew a 1 cm long black horn.
After eating a violent bear zombie whole, Xu Qingqiang was obviously not full yet. He looked greedily at another violent bear zombie next to him.
“Hehehe…”
He pounced on her again.
"Your hand is healed?" Mu Zhong noticed that Xu Qingqiang's hand, which was originally broken and unable to move, suddenly began to move without him noticing.
The zombie Violent Bear that he had his eyes on began to resist at Wei Huan's order, but Xu Qingqiang's eyes glowed red, like a hooligan who saw a beautiful girl. He laughed "hehehe" while pinching the zombie Violent Bear's neck and pressing down with his mouth.
Mu Zhong frowned: "Do you want to stop it?"
"No rush."
Until now, the two were not in a hurry, because the power displayed by Xu Qingqiang was still within their control.
Instead of fighting now and causing casualties, it is better to take this opportunity to understand the limits of the criminal's sequence.
In addition, Wei Huan closed his eyes at this moment and headed towards the tomb.
He searched for the zombie bear that Xu Qingqiang had eaten, wanting to learn more.
Soon, Wei Huan opened his eyes, his expression somewhat surprised, and said, "What he ate disappeared."
Mu Zhong thought about it: "You mean, there is no way to be resurrected?"
"Yes, the zombie bear is gone."
Wei Huan said this without seeming distressed.
In his eyes, these undead armies are just a manifestation of his professional ability, and only a few elites are worthy of his attention.
Moreover, not long ago, he discovered that there was far more than one tomb. There were countless tombs in the space of the Professional Temple, and he could not see the end of them.
The lives of the dead living on the graves are endless.
Now, he is grateful for this trip, which made him realize that the "criminal sequence" has a restraining effect on the "gravekeeper sequence".
If a group of "criminals" came to eat his undead army, he would also feel a little distressed.
After all, there is no way to resurrect.
During the simple test, Xu Qingqiang had already finished eating the second one and was looking at the third one.
However, it can be felt that his hunger seems to have weakened a lot, and his eyes are no longer only focused on eating. He even looked up.
It was this one glance that gave Wei Huan a strange idea.
"You won't stop it?" Mu Zhong asked Wei Huan.
Wei Huan placed his hands on the windshield and looked at Xu Qingqiang in surprise. Xu Qingqiang also looked at him through the glass, and in his blood-red pupils, Wei Huan confirmed that he saw a flicker of green flames.
For a moment, he felt Xu Qingqiang's emotions, chaos, distortion, violence, and... lazy satisfaction?
Xu Qingqiang pinned down the third zombie bear again, and his eating speed slowed down significantly. After eating one-third of the zombie bear, he lowered his head and did not move.
Then you can see the totem on his face fading away little by little.
When his white skin reappeared, he shook his body, and finally fell on the rotten fur of the zombie bear as if he had lost strength.
“Huh—huh—”
He actually started snoring.
What a satisfying meal!
After Xu Qingqiang was captured, he was still unconscious. Wei Huan looked at his body and found no wounds at all.
According to Wei Huan's glasses, his physical data was actually better than before.
Name: Xu Qingqiang
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Occupation: Distortion (Sequence 3)
Stamina: 1070
Strength: 325
Agility: 325
Spiritual Power: 60
Special state: Sleeping
Criminal Sequence, a profession with strong attributes of strength and agility, and high endurance. Except for its irrational combat, it is also a very good hexagonal melee fighter.
In fact, losing your mind and not being afraid of pain or fear is not necessarily a bad thing.
I don’t know how many challengers from the farmer sequence were defeated because they were afraid to fight monsters in close combat, and then gave up their status as challengers.
At the same time, the way for criminals to improve their strength may really require "devouring".
When Mu Zhong saw him yesterday, his strength and agility were only 323. Now that he had eaten two zombie bears, his strength and agility had increased to 325.
This change made Wei Huan think more. If he "raised" a criminal, would it be possible to cultivate a demon with the strongest sequence?
While Wei Huan was thinking about this, Mu Zhong was discussing with the smart housekeeper the possibility of strengthening the [Prison] again.
The advantages of the [Driver Sequence] are also gradually being revealed.
The space in a level three vehicle is limited, and Mu Zhong's professional level is not high, but if it is upgraded, many special function areas will appear on the vehicle. These are blueprints that Wei Huan cannot get even when opening a box, but Mu Zhong can complete the construction on the vehicle.
I can only say that there is no useless profession in Challenge the World, it all depends on how you use it.
Wei Huan was still thinking about the emotions he felt after the green fire appeared in Xu Qingqiang's eyes. It was just like the connection between him and the summoned undead.
At this time, a ghost crow flew back.
Finally, a passage was explored to the end.
Just as imagined, there was nothing.
Moreover, other ghost crows returned one after another, all bringing the same news.
This relic has been completely explored. After digging deep into the ground, all the mechanisms that could be found have been triggered.
The ruins look dark and eerie now, but when they were first opened, they must have been filled with monsters and corpses of human challengers, just like a real hell.
"Do you want to go back?" Mu Zhong asked him.
Wei Huan shook his head thoughtfully.
Wei Huan had been standing here, looking outside for a long time.
As he thought of something, the green fire in his eyes rose, and an eyeball with bat wings appeared outside the car.
The eyeballs are covered with spider-web-like blood vessels, floating silently in the air, which fits in perfectly with the atmosphere here.
When Mu Zhong saw it, he didn't find it ugly at all. Instead, he said in surprise, "Is this the Demon Eye Lord you summoned?"
Wei Huan nodded: "I can share the vision with it, I need to take a closer look."
"good."
As he spoke, Wei Huan had already closed his eyes, and his vision was focused on the Lord of the Demon Eyes, who was also outside the car.
He saw the shabby little car he was in. It looked so fragile that it could be shattered with a single slap. The windshield was pitch black. He was clearly inside, but he couldn't see a thing.
Inside and outside the car, it seems like two different worlds.
Turning his gaze back, the Lord of the Demon Eye also spun around and then flew towards the altar.
The altar is large and the lighting is poor, but as a dark creature, the Lord of the Eye is more suitable for this kind of darkness.
Looking down from a high altitude, the entire altar was clear in Wei Huan's eyes, and he even had the ability to zoom in and out and adjust the focal length.
Then he quickly noticed the difference in the circular altar.
It depicts a grotesque pattern of countless demons twisting and crawling on the earth after seven volcanoes erupted, converging into fine lines and finally converging into the huge mouth of the abyss in the middle.
"There is a second floor." Wei Huan said.
"Under the altar?" Mu Zhong also looked over. It was a question, but he was very sure.
Challenge the World is cruel, but one thing is very clear, it is not a puzzle-solving style. Almost all clues are placed in the open. The main purpose is to let you discover them and then quickly improve your strength through fighting.
The only possible reason why such an obvious clue has not been cracked and survived until now is that the previous adventurers were too hasty.
The first group was competing with each other and had to kill monsters, so they naturally had no time to observe carefully and were eventually destroyed.
Afterwards, Xu Qingqiang brought people down to investigate and disrupted the Zhan clan's plan. The two sides engaged in a battle royale of chase and escape.
It was only until today that Wei Huan could calm down and think about it slowly.
Luck is something that cannot be stopped once it comes.
Wei Huan summoned the mother earth beasts and gathered them in the middle of the altar. They stabbed the floor with their long legs, and then, little by little, with the sound of "clicking" like mechanical gears, they actually opened up a gap of less than one meter.
"puff!"
Thick black smoke gushed up from below.
A bit of scarlet light could be vaguely seen, and the temperature in the underground palace rose instantly.
The tips of the female ground beast's feet were burned grayish white.
The mechanism there is very powerful and is continuously trying to close the entrance.
Wei Huan could only summon a few more female earth beasts to completely stabilize the entrance.
But this one-meter-wide entrance clearly tells challengers that vehicles are prohibited from entering from here.
It's time for the Challenger to take risks again.
Without the protection of a vehicle, if you rely on your own ability to enter, it is hard to imagine what you have to pay to get the final result.
Maybe it's the life of a companion.
Or maybe it's my own fate.
But those are the methods used by other ordinary challengers. For Wei Huan, it is very simple.
Dozens of ghost crows turned into dark clouds and flew down against the high temperature and thick smoke.
A few facehuggers crawled down the cliff of the abyss.
Wei Huan left enough troops around the entrance, then controlled the Lord of the Demon Eye and flew down.
The joy of being able to share vision with summoned creatures is further reflected.
Wei Huan saw everything clearly in front of him, including the ever-enlarging scarlet dot, which was gradually turning into boiling underground magma.
And, in the middle of the molten lava, there was a huge black cylinder.
In fact, it is obvious that this cylinder should be the last treasure in this ruins.
It is also a real treasure.
Or something on a cylinder.
In short, those treasure chests on the ground are just additions to this relic.
But even so, the opening of the platinum treasure chest still destroyed a city.
Seeing that he was about to get the treasure, Wei Huan became even calmer.
He ordered the Ghost Crow not to touch the black iron cylinder, and he looked into the depths of the magma.
Wherever there is treasure, there is a treasure monster.
The treasure monster guarding the ruins must be very powerful.
"What's wrong?" Mu Zhong, who was waiting on the side, noticed the change in Wei Huan's expression. "What's down there?"
Liu Chengzhi also stretched his neck, wishing he could grow a head so he could go to the entrance and see it with his own eyes.
Wei Huan said, "It's a big thing, but this place is too close to the city, I can't use the Hellfire Bomb."
Moreover, after experiencing a great battle yesterday, his combat effectiveness was damaged. Most of his high-end troops, including the Roman soldiers, were weakened, and their combat effectiveness was reduced by one third.
Mu nodded. "Yes, we can't use Hellfire or Shuroma. The Facehugger is doing infrastructure construction in the city, and we only have a limited number of troops left. It's really difficult to fight a treasure monster."
However, after saying this, Mu Zhong continued, "But this is a secondary road."
He reminded Wei Huan: "I don't know if you noticed, but the white rhino we met yesterday, apart from being big, had almost no other fighting power. Even if it had thick skin and flesh, it couldn't withstand the attack of ants eating elephants. If it weren't for the mysterious person controlling it on its back, it wouldn't be difficult to subdue it."
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong steadily.
One of his eyes was normal, and the other was pitch black, as if the Lord of the Demon Eye was embedded in his eye. Black bloodshot filled his eyeball, and green flames burned in his vertical pupil.
The mutated eyes, and the butterfly-shaped black earrings on the same side, made his face seem to be split in two, showing two completely different sides: the gentle and bright, and the coquettish and cold.
Extremely scary.
And full of charm.
Mu Zhong's mind went blank for a few seconds, and then he tried to calmly look into the eyes of the man. "I think after activating Bloodlust, I can definitely give it a try."
Wei Huan opened and closed his eyes, agreeing with Mu Zhong's statement.
First of all, would he abandon the treasure? Would he just leave without doing anything, then return when his fighting strength was restored, without worrying about the consequences? Impossible!
Moreover, he has successfully recruited the Demon Eye Lord, which means that he has already stepped into the third level. Soon his strength will increase significantly, enough to catch up with the current losses in a short time.
Besides, these undead are just weakened, we haven't lost them, they will come back sooner or later.
When the idea of taking action was firmed up, the portal opened and more undead creatures appeared outside the car.
Without Shuroma, Wei Huan's strongest fighting force is the huge number of zombie bears.
The extra earth beasts also rushed over. After adding the BUFF, the number of face huggers they summoned could be squeezed together.
Finally, when these undead legions filled the underground palace and Wei Huan was about to close the portal, a Shuroma rushed out.
Is it this?
It is not big in size because it has not advanced to the second level and is still at its initial size.
But you can feel the integrity of its body and the expansion of its muscles, and feel that it is stronger than its peers.
This is obviously an elite Xiu Luoma, but unfortunately his brain is not very useful.
It was Xiu Luoma who was fearless even though little Jiji was bitten off by a dog!
It came out, roared twice, and rushed towards the center of the altar in front.
Then he jumped into the abyss with a handsome leap.
Wei Huan: “…”
This is...
The Lord of the Demon Eye, flying above the lava, quickly caught up with Mo Jiji who was falling freely.
Truly brave and fearless!
Even though it saw molten lava ahead and couldn't fly at all, it still displayed an endless bravery that could challenge the world and tear a hole in it.
With a "plop" sound, it fell into the flames.
The lava splashed a little, and then it was calm again.
Wei Huan: “…”
So what are you looking forward to?
The quiet and short time passed by in a flash.
Gradually, bubbles began to emerge from under the magma, and some huge monster was emerging from deep underground.
The pressure at this moment was very great. Huan controlled the Demon Eye Lord to fly to the highest point and hide against the wall, while ordering the intelligent butler to be ready to escape at any time.
Mu Zhong's fingers had already touched the earrings, and his lips were pursed.
Liu Chengzhi sat in his seat and fastened his seat belt while holding his breath.
When gods fight, he just needs to be quiet and not cause trouble.
“Gulp~Gulp~”
Orange bubbles rolled up from deep within the magma, small and dense at first, and then became larger and more numerous.
Bubbles exploded on the magma, emitting wisps of thick black smoke.
Then, something terrifying began to rise from below, giving off a strong sense of oppression.
This kind of pressure even made Liu Chengzhi, who was hiding in the car, uncontrollably chatter his teeth.
It's like... a soul-shaking feeling brought by a higher level of life.
For example, human ancestors encountered such terrifying existences in ancient times, so it was imprinted in their DNA, and they could not avoid the fear.
Wei Huan watched the changes in the magma with one eye, while keeping the other eye in the car, keeping an eye on Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong is much thinner than Liu Chengzhi, but he is emotionally stable. His eyes, staring ahead, are filled with a firm will, like a loaded bullet.
“Gulp gulp gulp—”
The noises became louder and more frequent, and Wei Huan finally said, "Be ready to go at any time."
After saying that, he turned all his attention back to the Lord of the Demon Eye.
As soon as he came back, he saw the molten lava rising in a crimson heat wave.
The viscous tension caused the magma surface to rise very high, almost submerging the black cylinder, before completely revealing a black scale.
The scales are oval, thin at the edges and thick in the middle, with textured fan-shaped patterns, and one scale can be half the size of a human body.
A glimpse of the whole picture shows how big something is.
At this moment, a face hugger, which had received the order long ago, fell from the ceiling and landed straight on the exposed scales.
The scales looked black like jade, but they were frighteningly hot. A facehugger couldn't even last a second when it landed on them before it "popped" and turned into a fireball, burning rapidly and turning into black ash.
See here.
Wei Huan, who was not surprised by the other party's large size, changed his expression.
To be honest, Wei Huan's summons are still a little afraid of elemental damage.
Especially this kind of thing that has a very strong fire attack and is huge in size.
Even if his summons climbed up, they would probably be burned to ashes like the facehugger before reaching a fatal point.
In this world, one thing always defeats another, and the human wave tactic is never absolutely invincible.
Soon, the monster broke through the water, revealing its huge, leaf-shaped, flat head, which looked a bit like a snake's head, but Wei Huan could not see any organs on its face.
The whole process of emerging from the magma is very oppressive, with the huge "head" raised high, as if exploring something.
The position of the snout has been swaying slowly.
Then, the situation came to a standstill.
Wei Huan stared for a long time before realizing that the other party seemed to be looking for a creature that disturbed it.
After all, its "head" has no facial features.
Moreover, this thing might rely on sound to determine its direction. Even though the ghost crow had landed not far from it, it did not react.
Ghost crows, a type of undead spirit, can fly completely silently as long as they don't make noisy noises.
The Demon Eye Lord that Wei Huan depends on has the ability to float in the air through his magical powers. The wings only control the direction and speed.
So, the stalemate lasted for a long time, so long that Wei Huan saw it with his own eyes, and then it slowly slid back.
Until the magma completely calms down.
Wei Huan's eyes fell on the black cylinder.
Now that he knows the form of the guardian monster, all that’s left is to figure out how to take the treasure away.
Since he has entered the treasure mountain, he cannot return empty-handed.
Order the Lord of the Demon Eye to fly around the black cylinder and observe the patterns on it.
What could something this big be? Could it be some kind of architectural treasure?
Although he had never heard of this type of treasure since returning from the future, he was omnipotent in challenging the world. Didn't a bone-like earth beast finally merge with his car to become the "Dead Ranch"?
Thinking of this, Wei Huan was unsure whether to expect it to have better equipment or better architectural treasures.
It would be a good thing if we could have another "professional training ground".
Finally, Wei Huan touched a black iron pillar through the Lord of the Demon Eye.
The huge black pillar, like a skyscraper, suddenly disappeared in the magma space.
Disappeared, gone!
This caused magma to surge and the earth to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, the monster that had just disappeared once again poked its flat, leaf-shaped head out of the magma.
The red lava dripped down its body, quickly revealing dense black scales.
But this time, it seemed to have eyes. As soon as it appeared, its snout was aimed at the Demon Eye Lord to whom Wei Huan was attached.
Without giving me any time to react, I suddenly slapped him.
Wei Huan ordered the Demon Eye Lord to open fire!
A black beam shot out from the Eye Lord's eyes, causing huge damage from the magic system, directly piercing through a piece of black scale and burning the flesh.
But this small injury was like being pricked by a needle for the huge body of this monster.
It has no effect except to irritate it.
The head that was coming towards him suddenly accelerated.
The Demon Eye Lord was unable to dodge and saw the huge body that filled his entire field of vision falling down.
"puff!"
His vision was shaken, and Wei Huan's attention returned to himself.
He shook his head, his mind still in turmoil from the overwhelming beating.
Then he quickly adjusted and said, "Be careful, it's coming out. Except for Xiaodian, all the female ground beasts will buff their spiritual power. The running wolves will be given strength and agility... and the bloodthirsty ones will wait for my orders!"
Thick, boiling mist emanated from the crack in the center of the altar, and the power of the flames surged upward.
A group of ghost crows flew up one after another.
Then the mother earthbeasts loosened their claws, allowing the altar to close again.
But they did not flee.
Instead, under Wei Huan's order, the altar was tightly surrounded inside and out.
Since he took the treasure, this battle is inevitable.
Challenge the treasure chest monsters in the world, but the fight will not stop until you are dead.
If he doesn't want to face endless pursuit in the future, he must take advantage of the current terrain and destroy the opponent first!
The damage that the Demon Eye Lord just successfully caused to the monster may be very low, but at least it means that he was able to break the defense.
This battle must be fought.
