Waiting for that person
Chapter 119
Wei Huan's inference was very accurate. As soon as it got dark that night, the Dark Beast Lord could not wait to attack them.
Another group of wild beasts.
It seems that this beast is not giving up yet and wants to use the same trick again, using the power of the curse to drag Wei Huan down.
Wei Huan's final decision to eradicate the problem completely during the third-level highway assessment was correct.
His strength was not exposed, and the Jisi Beast did not obtain relevant intelligence, otherwise it would have known that Wei Huan actually knew everything, and that Wei Huan also had a very scary trump card.
These beasts are just "delivered food". Even Liu Chengzhi can fight ten of them alone, but the difficulty lies in that he cannot kill them directly.
They could only dispose of the bodies as before. There were also beasts that died outside, but as long as the number did not reach the requirement for the curse to be cast, they were safe.
Faced with an army of more than a thousand beasts, this method of handling the situation seemed too cumbersome.
Everyone was busy dealing with about a hundred of them, and when they looked up, they saw endless beasts in front of them.
These beasts were a group of two-legged lizard-like monsters with long tails and strong upper limbs. They looked very disgusting crawling in groups on the ground. They had snake-like heads and forked tongues, and most importantly, their eyes were red, yellow, blue, and green. When they gathered together and pounced on you, it was even more terrifying.
It is inevitable that the attacks will be a little more ruthless, and more and more people will die.
At first, Wei Huan even shouted twice: "Control the number."
But soon silence returned.
There was no other reason. This despicable Dark Beast Lord actually arranged a group of Dark Beasts to hide in the middle. When the time came, they suddenly jumped out and attacked not Wei Huan and others, but the beasts around them.
In less than three minutes, with the "joint efforts" of both sides, only a few of the thousand beasts were left.
The ground was covered in blood, and amidst the broken limbs, a gray and cold aura clung to everyone's shoulders like a maggot on the tarsal bone.
My back felt cold, my shoulders felt heavier, and I felt a little anxious for no reason.
"The curse has taken effect!" Mu Zhong reminded everyone, "Be careful to control your emotions."
Then, Mu Zhong looked at Wei Huan and said, "Hit him now. We can't wait any longer."
Wei Huan nodded.
The curse is like a maggot on the tarsal bone. Even if the curser leaves, it will last for a long time. Besides, they will never leave here.
The best way to resolve the curse is to kill the curser. In this case, we can only officially start a war.
It’s just right, let this fireworks display send a blessing of victory to our compatriots who are fighting together in distant places.
After Wei Huan killed this group of dark beasts that were obviously sent to die, he finally pushed the undead army to the front line four days later.
The Dark Beast Lord on the opposite side had already been on full alert, with densely packed watchtowers surrounding the city walls. From time to time, one could see hero units and dark beasts flashing by through the gaps between the watchtowers.
In the territory of the Thought-Beast, even the two-headed hidden demon has now become a defender on the city wall.
There are also these red buildings, with a hint of blood, which also shows that this territory has the ability to attack with the element of fire due to the special mineral veins, and the overall damage is increased by 10%.
What is even more despairing is the protective shield covering the entire city, which completely protects the city.
Although this territory does not have any fifth-tier buildings, the number of buildings is enough to make up for the lack of damage.
Unless Wei Huan and his team reach level five, they will not be able to ignore the damage from these level four sentry towers.
What's more, Wei Huan and others are only at the third level.
Judging from this aspect alone, the combat effectiveness of the two sides in this battle is obviously very different.
Facing this dark beast lord who armed himself like a hedgehog, Wei Huan and his men had very little hope of winning.
However, when the ghost crows flew over the territory with the netherworld fire full of energy in their mouths, and the emerald green flames fell like raindrops, the ending was destined to be different.
"Boom!" The first Nether Fire exploded in mid-air, causing the blue light of the protective shield to fluctuate.
Wei Huan's ability was not beyond the limit. Four Nether Fire Bombs were enough to drain all the Nether Power he had accumulated that day.
If you want Hellfire Bombs, you can't recruit the undead.
"Boom!" The second, third, and fourth Netherfire bombs fell one after another, causing the protective shield to flicker and unable to bear the weight.
But the strong will always be strong. When Wei Huan always maintains his advantage and is at the forefront of his peers, he is destined to be unmatched.
For others, opening a silver treasure chest is already the ultimate, but he has already opened a platinum treasure chest, explored the ruins and miracles, and killed the king clan.
"Boom!" As the eighth blast of Hellfire descended, the protective shield finally whimpered and shattered into a sky of starlight. The ninth blast of Hellfire fell alongside the radiant light, finally igniting a dazzling display of fireworks within the city.
If he didn't have so many gold equipment, platinum equipment, and even pseudo-god weapons, how could he dare to challenge the platinum ruins of the third-level highway assessment alone?
From the ruins, he found an item that was as valuable as a divine item... the "Super Energy Saving Tank".
This completely solved the dilemma that Wei Huan used his dark power everywhere, went for the explosion flow, but couldn't go for the summoning flow.
“Boom!”
Continuous netherworld fires lit up half the sky. Amidst the earth-shaking roar, countless buildings were reduced to ruins, countless dark beasts were reduced to ashes, and system notifications kept jumping before his eyes.
Therefore, the existence of the "piggy bank" not only solves Wei Huan's dilemma in choosing a "school", the real key is that it gives Wei Huan the opportunity to have "double talents".
Mu Zhong has two talents, [Pilot Sequence] and [Dancer Sequence], which look impressive, but actually require double the effort and time to improve.
But what about Wei Huan?
He only needs to continuously cultivate in the [Gravekeeper Sequence] to make the "Explosion Flow" and "Summoning Flow" progress simultaneously. At least from a practical point of view, this improvement is no less than a true dual talent.
“Boom—”
Wei Huan looked at the fire in the distance, and with an idea in his mind, the long-trained undead army rushed towards the territory like a white wave, fearless of life and death!
What is even more amazing is the hundreds of Demon Eye Lords above your head.
That's right, after discovering that the zombie bear was restrained by the fire system, Wei Huan adjusted his strategy in time. This battle will use large-scale air strikes as the main combat method.
In addition, there were a few little dog-headed men standing above the heads of some of the Demon Eye Lords. After entering the sky above the territory, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Then the Dark Beast Lord discovered in despair that ferocious Xiuromas were running around in his territory.
These Xiuromas are blessed with attributes, and one of them can easily kill a "Loyal Dark Beast". Even the heroic units that it has trained for a long time and entrusted with important tasks cannot resist the clutches of Xiuroma.
Among them, there was an even more hideous and twisted fellow, who was laughing "hehehe" all the way, killing and eating at the same time, and killing and eating at the same time. His cruelty was even more hideous than that of the dark beast that preyed on the weak.
The war has begun.
But no one expected that the real Libra after the start would be completely different from what it was before.
The humans, all of whom were at level three, completely crushed the level four territory in terms of combat power.
If we say that everyone in this world is looking for a way to become strong.
Then Wei Huan is on the road to becoming a strong man, searching for the path to becoming a god.
On this road, he will only become stronger and stronger, amazed by everyone, and eventually become someone that must be looked up to!
Cousin Mu, Lin Xu and Zhou Yong looked around at Wei Huan and Mu Zhong. Even though a large number of undead guarded them, they were still very vigilant.
Only when the fire exploded occasionally in the distance, illuminating the depths of their eyes, could one see the admiration that could not be hidden in their eyes.
In the advancing undead army, Ding Qi and the twins were behind the undead, wielding bows and staffs. Powerful attacks landed on the watchtower, and its durability was fluctuating at -100 points, -100 points.
The seemingly densely packed sentry towers were ultimately unable to produce a "qualitative change" in front of Wei Huan.
It was pulled out easily, just like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. It became docile and was completely unable to resist as they advanced straight in.
Soon, the troops arrived at the city.
At this time, the existence of the city wall is really of little significance.
The city had long been ravaged by the attacks of Hellfire, the Demon Eye Lord, and Xu Qingqiang, leaving it in ruins. The densely packed heroic units and loyal Dark Beasts on the city walls were all ordered back to their territories to "put out the fire."
Now, the city walls were empty and unguarded, and they were breached in a few strokes, allowing the true army of the undead to pour in.
The war had barely begun when it seemed to be ending.
It’s not that the Dark Beast Lord is not strong enough, but because Wei Huan is really strong, and he has gathered a group of comrades who can increase his combat effectiveness. With such tacit cooperation, they have combat effectiveness far beyond the fourth-level territory.
The destruction of a territory seemed to happen in an instant.
The moment the city wall was breached, even if the King of Dark Beasts came, he would probably be powerless.
【Serial Kill Mission】
[Next Stage: 2499/10000 Mission Points, Reward: 1 Platinum Treasure Chest]
As the lord's core was destroyed, the last system notification sounded.
【Serial Kill Mission】
[Next Stage: 2500/10000 Mission Points, Reward: 1 Platinum Treasure Chest]
The cold night wind blew through the broken ruins, and also blew out the last breath of the living.
In the flickering green flames, huge and hideous white skeletons, like the gods of death, were searching for warm breath among the ruins.
The rustling sound stirred up broken stones, even from deep underground.
But after another gust of night wind blew, the ruins began to slowly disappear from sight like a mirage.
Whether it was the collapsed buildings or the corpses lying in pools of blood, it was as if they had never existed, not even a single hair existed.
The ground that was bombarded into a big crater gradually flattened out, as if the world itself was alive and was healing bit by bit.
Before dawn, the ground would be flat again and trees would grow again. No one passing by could imagine that a territory had been established here in the past and a war had shaken the earth.
Wei Huan withdrew his gaze, and at the same time, with a thought, he sent the undead who were staring blankly in the open space back to the tomb.
Continuous recruitment, high-intensity combat, death and resurrection, even if the undead have weakened their energy, they still need a certain amount of time to rest.
He only left behind some undead in good condition to perform the guarding mission. After doing this, he turned to look at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Mu Zhong's face.
Everyone looked excited.
They just killed more than a thousand dark beast lords in one breath.
Of course, this number is nothing compared to the tens of thousands of challengers killed by the Dark Beast on the third-level highway.
But it's still a good start.
There will be more in the future. Just like the boss said, we have to kill the dark beasts painfully, just like what humans go through. Just thinking about this test makes me feel heartbroken! We have to kill them until they are extinct!
Mu Zhong half-jokingly said, "Only 1,500 Dark Beasts coming to the king's defense? I thought there were at least 2,000 in the city."
Xu Qingqiang had a good fight and was full and energetic after eating. "It's too little. Ten thousand is better. Just go straight to the point and get it done in one go."
Liu Chengzhi thought about it for a moment, then felt a little timid: "If there really are 10,000 of them, I'm afraid I can't defeat them."
"Why can't we defeat them?" This time it was the twin, Teng Xiyang, who rarely spoke. He gritted his teeth and said, "A Fast Bullet Squad with only seven Dark Beasts can kill 20,000 of our compatriots at once on a Level 3 highway. With our strength, killing 50,000 or even 100,000 of them wouldn't be too much!"
This contrast instantly calmed everyone's excitement.
Yes.
A fast bullet team killed 20,000 of their compatriots, but they only killed 2,500 dark beasts. This is just the beginning.
Considering the reproduction number of dark beasts, they would have to kill at least 100,000 of them to achieve the effect they want!
Thinking of this, Liu Chengzhi's eyes became firm. He looked straight at Xu Qingqiang and said, "Brother Qiang, I haven't seen your ability to find food for a while. If you want me to make something delicious, take us to kill the dark beast."
After he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Qingqiang expectantly.
Wei Huan also looked over.
Speaking of which, since entering the random challenge, Xu Qingqiang has not yet demonstrated his ability to find flavors.
Xu Qingqiang touched his nose and finally said with a grin, "You want me to find something and cook for me? Don't you know the premise of my finding something? Who are you trying to tempt?"
Liu Chengzhi laughed heartily, obviously knowing it.
Seeing everyone's anticipation, Xu Qingqiang finally chuckled and pointed in a direction: "Over there, there's a big guy."
After saying that, Xu Qingqiang looked at Xian Weihuan and said, "Your strength is not bad. You also said that my super perception will adjust according to the actual situation. So even so, I still think it smells good. That's really amazing."
Wei Huan raised his eyebrows, but there was something hidden in his heart: You don’t know my true strength.
Then he said, "So it's more powerful than this territory? The royal family's territory?"
After saying this, Wei Huan's eyes were cold and stern: "Then I will kill you no matter what you say."
If killing 100,000 dark beasts cannot shake the situation on the ancient battlefield, then kill their royal family, destroy their imperial family, and kill all the nobles.
This will always make you feel sad, right?
Speaking of which, the royal family of the Dark Beasts is extremely precious. Maybe the person mentioned above is a descendant of the current Dark Beast King.
If we can really destroy its inheritance, it doesn't matter even if the Dark Beast King regards him as a thorn in his side in the future.
This is actually an honor!
All this time, he didn't know how high to set his goal, nor how to make the dark beast "go crazy with pain". Now he knows and has a direction.
So Wei Huan pointed in the direction Xu Qingqiang pointed and said, "Just go over there, straight ahead, and push it over."
The domineering declaration made everyone's blood boil.
Yes! Push it forward! Kill the gods and Buddhas who stand in my way!
Moreover, this direct marching method saves the trouble of searching for the dark beast's territory everywhere.
It doesn't matter if we let these dark beasts be summoned along the way. Wouldn't it be better to just kill these dark beasts that gave up their territories to come to the king's defense?
…
The flames of war illuminated the darkness as if it were daytime. Countless chariots galloped on the battlefield of blood and fire. Beams of light emitted from the roofs of the chariots and exploded towards the armored giant rhinoceros formation in front.
Fierce winged bat men flew out from behind the city wall, as densely packed as a swarm of bees, forming a formation in the sky, and then pressed down together, nimbly bypassing the dense artillery shells and suddenly scratching at the protective shield outside the vehicle.
Suddenly, a magical rune appeared above the convoy, covering an area of more than three miles. All vehicles within the range were enveloped. The fire they fired was absorbed by the magic circle and disappeared, quickly converging into a battle axe. Until the battle axe condensed into a real thing, it then split the sky and the earth and slashed towards the territory's wall.
“Buzz!!”
The atmosphere froze.
It was a towering, imposing wall, seemingly spanning heaven and earth. Over a thousand meters high, its thickness and solidity were terrifying, and adorned with lifelike reliefs of giant beasts. As the axe struck, the reliefs suddenly moved, simultaneously raising their hands or claws.
There was a loud "boom".
The giant axe in the sky was blocked in the void by the vaguely raised arm of the relief on the city wall. The huge invisible force collided and competed in the air. Strands of dissipated energy fell to the ground, which could tear the giant rhino into pieces and lift vehicles away.
The sky suddenly brightened, and the whole world seemed as bright as day!
Then, the power that had been accumulated for a long time offset each other and gradually dissipated.
When the night returned, the roar that had briefly subsided began to sound again.
The boundless flames of war were reignited, intertwined with the spilling of blood, and turned into the wails of the dead souls.
"The combat power is actually equal?"
After a night of fierce fighting, both sides came to this conclusion before dawn.
This is definitely good news for humans who were lagging behind at the beginning.
After falling behind and breaking through level five, they entered the darkness again. Under the situation of being inferior in every way, it is a blessing that humans can fight the dark beasts on equal terms.
What will be competed next is the killer weapons and commander's ability of both sides, and of course the subsequent replenishment of forces.
The "Ancient Battlefield" will last for one month, during which both parties can freely replenish their troops. However, if the other party cannot be eliminated by the deadline, the challenging world will calculate the casualty ratio at the last moment, and the party with lower casualties will win.
Fighting such a war in one month is already a very short time, which is equivalent to concentrating all the strength of both sides in a short period of time.
It is a test for the soldiers and a double torture both physically and mentally for the leaders.
Especially on the human side.
Unlike the royal family of the natural class of the Dark Beast Civilization, humans were divided into many countries and many forces. Without a unified voice to coordinate, they could only fight each other in the end.
Daxia holds one-fifth of the area, Osam and the Great Bear each hold one-fifth, the European continental alliance takes another part, and the rest is formed by alliances of other small countries.
The only advantage is that humans are the attackers, and the dark beasts have no advantage in taking the initiative to attack. Otherwise, in this fragmented state, they can just find a direction to slaughter certain alliances.
But even so, the problem of uneven combat effectiveness on the human side was soon exposed. The Dark Beast Lord King only needed to place the toughest legions and defense forces in the areas where Daxia, Osham and the Big Bear were located, which was enough to easily block all offensives.
A night of indiscriminate bombing did not bring very good results.
Of course, the Dark Beasts did not gain any advantage either. This war was different from what they had initially imagined. They had never imagined that humans would have so many level five tanks. This was completely beyond their initial expectations.
"Humans...are always so abominable. Why can't they be crushed to death like insects?"
The being sitting on the throne murmured carelessly, but the anger hidden deep in his voice made all the high-level dark beasts listening below tremble.
This is an evolution of two dimensional civilizations, so it is normal that both sides are evenly matched.
But Wang was clearly getting impatient.
"It's dawn," the Dark Beast King said, his eyes gazing at the sky as if they could see through time and space. He said calmly, "Humanity's home turf is almost here. It's time to rest, so fight hard."
The high-level dark beasts retreated, and under the throne, a small number of the king's confidants remained.
One of the thought beasts, formed from a collection of black energy, had its internal smoke swirling wildly. Its voice echoed directly into the minds of every dark beast: "So far, the difference in casualties between our race and humans is less than 0.01. Although we are temporarily ahead, we have not achieved our initial goal. During the day, we will be on the human home turf. We need to do this to maintain and expand our advantage..."
These voices were like compressed packages, instantly filling the brains of all dark beasts, but in order to understand them, they needed to read slowly and even add their own thinking.
The being on the throne tapped its arms lightly with its fingers, as if reviewing information in its mind.
At this time, another small "email" was sent over. He clicked it and when he saw the message inside, his brows furrowed slightly.
Then, it looked deeply at the most trusted thought beast in front of it.
"Do you think I can't miss this message?" asked the Dark Beast King.
The Beast replied silently: Yes.
But the Dark Beast King only glanced at the Thought Beast irritably and said, "When will the deaths of a thousand Dark Beasts in a mere Level 3 world be reported to me?"
The Jisi Beast silently said four words: Human Wei Huan.
But it was obvious that the Dark Beast King was no longer interested. He had long forgotten that just a month ago, a human had slaughtered the entire novice area and killed a very outstanding and highly anticipated two-headed hidden demon. He also forgot that the human had obtained the title that made him furious, "Dark Beast Nemesis".
Its mind is now filled with only this war and the Blue Star humans surrounding it, who are like locusts and can never be killed.
The war is still going on. The dark beasts have the thought-mongering beasts, and the humans have supercomputers. Every gain and loss is calculated accurately.
The leader is even more desperate and fights for every inch of land.
…
On the blue planet.
Commander Mu has arranged two operations in succession.
For the first time, he used the "Challenge Shield" that Wei Huan brought out and successfully hunted down the former head of the Northeast Army's logistics headquarters who was on the run, as well as a group of his defected subordinates.
But what makes people infuriated is that the Northeast Army’s supplies had already been transferred.
The Northeast Army Corps' wealth was emptied and a large number of people were fattened up. In addition to the "War Clan" they defected to, a batch of important supplies indeed flowed to the Mulberry Kingdom.
"If we don't act quickly, most of these supplies will probably be sent to countries like Osam, and it will be even more difficult to recover them then."
The adjutant said, "So we must take action against the Mulberry Kingdom immediately."
The double-dealing activities of Shi Heng's group can no longer be concealed. Da Xia has long stopped cooperating with them in Challenge the World, and has entered a stage of strict control over the Sangshu School and enterprises established in Da Xia.
But this is far from enough. Whether it is the challenge materials they stole from Daxia over the years, or the hatred for the many geniuses including Mu Zhong who died for no reason, they must pay the price.
Captain Wang took Liu Xiaotian and others to Mulberry Country.
After Commander Mu sent them away, he heard his adjutant's report again, this time with obvious surprise.
"Already 51,000 points? It's been less than a month, right? How did they do it? Pushing forward one territory after another, even if they don't sleep, I'm afraid they can't do it." Commander Mu couldn't figure it out.
The adjutant didn't understand either, but he had some guesses: "There's a certain pattern to their points increase. Sometimes there's no movement for days, but in a single day, they've added 10,000 or 20,000 points."
"So, they can kill one or two thousand Dark Beasts in a day? Did they gather all these Dark Beasts together?"
The adjutant nodded. "Do you remember Professor Zhou mentioning that Dark Beasts possess a certain swarming mechanism? Their pyramid structure is stable, and the control of higher-level Dark Beasts over lower-level Dark Beasts is close to 100%."
"I know."
Commander Mu nodded. Professor Zhou was his wife Zhou Xian. Seven years ago, she was a biologist, and now she is a very famous dark beast researcher in Daxia. Her main research direction is the social structure of dark beasts.
After careful consideration, Commander Mu said, "That means that when the Dark Beasts sense danger, they will gather lower-level Dark Beasts to protect themselves. This also happened during Mu Zhong's last random challenge.
Does this mean that we haven't pushed the Dark Beast past its limit until now?"
The last sentence was exactly the same as what Mu Zhong said to Wei Huan.
As expected of father and son, they consider issues from the same perspective.
But when this thought comes up, it is inevitable that people feel a little suffocated.
Humans have tried their best, but after such a desperate fight, they realized that the dark beast still has a lot of strength left.
Who can bear it?
But unlike Mu Zhong who would occasionally sink into despair, Commander Mu quickly regained his composure.
"It's not like we don't have a trump card. Honestly, we humans have plenty of room for growth." He looked at his adjutant and said, "Given humanity's fragmented state, I'm surprised we've managed to survive until today. In my opinion, if humanity wants to achieve ultimate victory, then we must first unify the human race."
The adjutant nodded in approval, then sighed.
"What kind of great man would be able to achieve this? Throughout history, Blue Star has never been unified."
Commander Mu said, "It wasn't possible before because of transportation restrictions, the inability to achieve absolute crushing force, and the lack of pressure from external enemies. Humanity doesn't need unity to survive well.
The people of affluent nations always enjoy their advantages while praising equality. Those struggling to survive, however, are filled with hatred and covet the upper hand. This natural opposition naturally makes it impossible to reach a consensus.
But things are different now. In this crisis of survival, haven't you noticed? Even deep down, we long for someone like this to emerge—someone with absolute strength, charisma, and the ability to lead humanity to victory. We long for the day when we will be led by such a great man and ultimately witness humanity's victory.
The adjutant lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked firmly at Commander Mu and said, "Yes, that's what I think."
The two of them shut up here and looked out the window together.
In that vast world, it seemed as if it was searching for something.
Long, quiet.
