Xu Qingqiang ignored the two pigs as they screamed and collapsed at his feet.
He pounced like a ferocious tiger at the undead army that had surrounded him in an attempt to control him.
The monster, covered in demonic runes and with twisted bones, was no longer human. It was holding the head of a walking corpse bear and, with a "roar," it tore off its rotting skin and even crushed the hard skull beneath.
After peeling off the bones and skin, and swallowing it whole, the black brains looked to Xu Qingqiang like a bowl of thick soup.
The three people in the car, including Wei Huan, almost vomited from disgust.
"What a madman," Mu Zhong sighed, "this taste is too extreme."
Despite feeling disgusted and surprised, Wei Huan did not order the other undead to act and stop Xu Qingqiang from eating.
He was even waiting to see Xu Qingqiang's reaction after he finished this "meal".
Under such scrutiny, Wei Huan gained a clearer understanding of the "distorted" combat power.
With immense strength and a powerful bite, the Tier 2 Violent Bear Corpse is a formidable offensive unit with exceptional defensive capabilities within Wei Huan's undead army.
But such defenses are nothing to "Twisted" eyes; the bones are crunchy and delicious, like little cookies.
The bear-like zombie, which was over three meters long, couldn't even last three minutes in its "twisted" frenzied eating and was reduced to nothing but scraps.
During this process, Xu Qingqiang's belly did not grow bigger; instead, his body became stronger and he became much more muscular.
Meanwhile, a 1-centimeter-long black horn unexpectedly sprouted from the small bump on his forehead.
After devouring a monstrous bear corpse whole, Xu Qingqiang was clearly still not satisfied. He greedily looked at another monstrous bear corpse next to him.
"Hehehe..."
He pounced on it again.
"Your hand is healed?" Mu Zhong noticed that Xu Qingqiang's hand, which was originally shattered and immobile, had somehow started to move again.
The zombie bear that he had his eye on began to resist under Wei Huan's orders, but Xu Qingqiang's eyes were gleaming red, like a hooligan who had seen a pretty girl. He chuckled "hehehe" as he grabbed the zombie bear by the neck, opened his mouth and pressed down on it.
Mu Zhong frowned: "Should we stop it?"
No rush.
Even now, the two are not in a hurry, because the power that Xu Qingqiang has shown is still within their control.
Rather than fighting and causing casualties now, we should take this opportunity to understand the limits of the criminal category.
At this moment, Wei Huan closed his eyes and headed towards the tomb.
He was searching for the zombie bear that Xu Qingqiang had eaten, wanting to learn more.
Soon, Wei Huan opened his eyes, looking somewhat surprised, and said, "What he ate has disappeared."
Mu Zhong thought for a moment: "You mean, he can't be resurrected?"
"Yes, that zombie bear is gone."
Wei Huan said this without showing any sign of distress.
In his eyes, these undead armies were merely a manifestation of his professional abilities, with only a few elites worthy of his attention.
Moreover, not long ago, he discovered that there was far more than one large tomb; the space within the Temple of Professions...
There were countless graves, one after another, that he could not see the end of.
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".
He might feel a little heartache if a group of "criminals" came to devour his undead army.
After all, he can't be brought back to life.
During the simple test, Xu Qingqiang had already finished the second one and was looking at the third one.
However, you could sense that his hunger had weakened considerably, and he was no longer only focused on food; he even looked up at the table.
It was this one glance that gave Wei Huan a strange idea.
"Aren't you going to stop it?" Mu Zhong asked Wei Huan.
Wei Huan pressed his hands against the windshield, looking at Xu Qingqiang with a surprised expression. Xu Qingqiang met his gaze through the glass, and in those blood-red pupils, Wei Huan confirmed that he saw a flickering green flame.
For a fleeting moment, he sensed Xu Qingqiang's emotions: chaos, distortion, rage, and... a languid sense of satisfaction.
Xu Qingqiang pinned down the third zombie bear, and his eating speed slowed down significantly. After eating a third of the zombie bear, he lowered his head and stopped moving.
Then you can see the totem on his face gradually fade away.
When his fair skin reappeared, he swayed, and finally collapsed onto the rotting fur of the zombie bear, as if all his strength had given out.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
He actually started snoring.
What a satisfying meal!
After Xu Qingqiang was brought back, he was still unconscious. Wei Huan looked at him and found that he had no wounds at all.
His physical stats actually appeared slightly better in Wei Huan's glasses than before.
Name: Xu Qingqiang
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Class: Twisted (Sequence 3)
Endurance: 1070
Strength: 325
Agility: 325
Spiritual power: 60
Special state: Sleep
Criminals are a class with strong strength and agility, as well as high stamina. They are excellent hexagonal melee fighters, except for their lack of rationality in combat.
In fact, losing your mind and being unafraid of pain and fear is not necessarily a bad thing.
Countless challengers in the Farmer Rank have failed because they dared not engage in close combat with monsters, and thus gave up their challenger status.
At the same time, the way criminals enhance their power may truly require "devouring".
When Mu Zhong checked on him yesterday, his strength and agility were only 323. Now, after eating two zombie bears, his strength and agility have increased to 325.
This change made Wei Huan think more deeply: if he "raised" a criminal, was it possible to cultivate a demon with the strongest sequence?
Wei Huan was pondering this matter, while Mu Zhong was discussing with the smart butler the possibility of further strengthening the [prison].
The advantages of the [Driver Sequence] are gradually becoming apparent.
Tier 3 vehicles have limited space, and Mu Zhong's professional level isn't high either. However, if upgraded, many special functional areas will appear on the vehicle, including blueprints that Wei Huan couldn't even get from opening boxes, but Mu Zhong could find in the vehicle.
Construction was completed.
It can only be said that there are no useless professions in the world of challenges. It all depends on how you use them.
Wei Huan was still savoring the feeling he had after the green flame appeared in Xu Qingqiang's eyes. It was as if he had a connection with a summoned undead creature.
Just then, a ghost crow flew back.
Finally, the passage was explored to its end.
Just as I imagined, it was completely empty.
Moreover, other ghost crows returned one after another, all bringing the same news.
This ruin has been completely explored; every possible mechanism has been triggered.
Now the ruins appear only gloomy and dark, but in the period when they first opened, they must have been filled with the corpses of monsters and human challengers, resembling a true hell.
"Do you want to go back?" Mu Zhong asked him.
Wei Huan shook his head thoughtfully.
Wei Huan had been standing here, looking out for a long time.
As soon as he thought of something, the green flames in his eyes flared up, and an eyeball with bat wings appeared outside the car.
The eyeballs, covered with a dense network of blood vessels, floated silently in mid-air, perfectly matching the atmosphere.
Upon seeing this, Mu Zhong not only didn't find it unsightly, but exclaimed with delight, "This is the Demon Eye Lord you summoned?"
Wei Huan nodded: "I can share the view with it; I need to take a closer look."
"good."
As he spoke, Wei Huan closed his eyes, and at the same time, his gaze shifted to the Demon Eye Lord and then to the outside of the carriage.
He saw the dilapidated little car he was in, so fragile that it seemed like it could be shattered with a single slap. The windshield was pitch black, and even though he was inside, he couldn't see anything.
Inside and outside the car, it felt like two different worlds.
Turning our attention back, the Demon Eye Lord spun around once before flying toward the altar.
The altar was large and poorly lit, but for the Eye Lord, a creature of darkness, this darkness was actually more suitable for it to exert its power.
Looking down from high above, the entire altar was clearly visible to Wei Huan, and he even had the ability to zoom in and out and adjust the focus.
He then quickly noticed the difference in the circular altar.
The painting depicts a bizarre pattern where, after the eruption of seven volcanoes, countless demons writhe and crawl across the earth, converging into fine lines that eventually converge into the gaping maw of the abyss in the center.
"There is a second layer," Wei Huan said.
"Under the altar?" Mu Zhong looked over as well, asking a question, but with certainty.
The world of challenges is brutal, but one thing is very clear: it's not a puzzle-solving game. Almost all the clues are laid out in the open, and the main focus is on letting you discover them and then quickly improve your strength through combat.
The only reason such obvious clues haven't been deciphered and have remained until now is that the previous adventurers were all too hasty.
The first group, competing with each other and killing monsters, naturally had no time to observe carefully, and thus met their demise.
Xu Qingqiang then led his men down to investigate, which disrupted the Zhan Clan's plans, leading to a chase and a battle royale between the two sides.
That's why we've waited until today, allowing Wei Huan to calm down and slowly ponder things.
Luck is something you can't stop when it comes.
Wei Huan summoned the Earth Beast Mother Beast, which gathered at the altar.
In the middle, it pierced the floor with its long legs, and then, little by little, with a "click-clack" sound like mechanical gears turning, it actually managed to open a gap of less than a meter.
"puff!"
Jingzhou Xiaoyao reminds you that "Highway Survival, God-Tier Treasure Chest Start" is being updated as soon as possible. Remember to []?'Come []? to see the latest chapter? Full chapter'()
Thick, dark smoke billowed up from below.
A faint crimson glow could be seen rising, and the temperature inside the underground palace instantly increased.
The tips of the mother cave beast's feet were burned gray.
The mechanism there is very powerful, and it is continuously exerting force to try to close the entrance.
Wei Huan had to summon several more cave beast mothers before he could finally stabilize the entrance.
But this one-meter-wide entrance is clearly telling challengers that vehicles are prohibited from entering from here on out.
It's time for the challengers' adventure again.
Without the protection of a vehicle, it's hard to imagine what one would have to sacrifice to get the final reward by relying solely on one's own abilities to enter.
Perhaps it was the fate of their companion.
Or perhaps it's just my fate.
However, those were the methods used by other ordinary challengers; for Wei Huan, they were very simple.
Dozens of ghost crows transformed into dark clouds and flew down into the scorching heat and thick smoke.
A few facehuggers crawled down the cliff face of the abyss.
Wei Huan left enough troops around the entrance, then took control of the Demon Eye Lord and flew down as well.
The joy of sharing vision with summoned creatures is further demonstrated.
Wei Huan could clearly see everything in front of him, including the ever-enlarging scarlet dot, which gradually turned into boiling underground magma.
And, in the middle of that molten lava, stood a huge, pitch-black cylinder.
It's quite obvious; this cylinder should be the last treasure in this ruin.
It is also a true treasure.
Or something on a cylinder.
In short, the treasure chests on the ground are just extras to this ruin.
Even so, opening the Platinum Chest still destroyed a city.
Seeing that the treasure was about to be in his hands, Wei Huan became even calmer.
He ordered the ghost crow not to touch the black iron cylinder, while he looked into the depths of the magma.
Where there is treasure, there is bound to be a treasure monster.
The treasure monster guarding the ruins must be very powerful.
"What's wrong?" Mu Zhong, who was waiting nearby, noticed the change in Wei Huan's expression. "What's next?"
Liu Chengzhi also craned his neck, wishing he could grow a head to see the entrance with his own eyes.
Wei Huan said, "It's a big thing, but it's too close to the city, so I can't use the Hellfire Bomb."
Moreover, after yesterday's major battle, his combat strength was damaged. Most of his high-end troops, the Roma, were weakened, and his combat strength was reduced by one-third.
Mu nodded: "Yes, neither the Netherfire nor the Shura can be used. The Facehuggers are building infrastructure in the city, leaving us with limited troops. It is indeed difficult to fight a treasure monster."
However, after saying all that, Mu Zhong added, "But this is a secondary highway."
He reminded Wei Huan: "I don't know if you noticed, but the white rhinoceros we encountered yesterday, apart from being big, had almost no other fighting ability. No matter how thick its skin was, it couldn't withstand an ant eating an elephant. If it weren't for the mysterious person controlling it on its back, it wouldn't have been difficult to subdue it."
Wei Huan stared intently at Mu Zhong.
One of his eyes was normal, while the other was pitch black, as if the Demon Lord had been embedded in his eye. Black blood vessels filled his eyeball, and green flames burned in his vertical pupil.
His mutated eyes, along with the butterfly-shaped black ear cartilage on the same side, made his face appear split, revealing two completely different sides: a refined and gentle demeanor and a bewitching and cold one.
Extremely terrifying.
And she is incredibly charming.
Mu Zhong's mind went blank for a few seconds before he tried to calmly meet the gaze of those heterochromatic eyes: "I think it's entirely worth trying after activating Bloodlust."
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, wait for his fighting strength to recover, and then come back? Wouldn't he be worried about things going wrong? Impossible!
Moreover, he has successfully recruited the Demon Eye Lord, which means he has already stepped into the third tier. Soon his strength will increase significantly, enough to catch up with the current losses in a short period of time.
Besides, these spirits are only weakened, not lost; they will return sooner or later.
Once the decision to take action was made, the portal opened, and more undead creatures appeared outside the vehicle.
Without the Roma army, Wei Huan's strongest fighting force consisted only of this massive number of zombie bears.
The extra cave beasts also rushed over, and after the buff was applied, the number of facehuggers they summoned could still be squeezed in.
Finally, when the undead legions filled the dungeon and Wei Huan was about to close the portal, a Shura rushed out.
Is that it?
It is not large, as it has not advanced to the second tier and is still in its initial size.
However, one can sense its physical integrity and the expansion of its muscles, indicating that it is stronger than others of the same level.
This is a very obvious elite Roman, but unfortunately it's not very bright.
Even though his little Gigi was bitten off by a dog, the Roma was fearless!
It came out, barked twice, and rushed towards the center of the altar.
Then, with a dashing leap, he plunged into the abyss.
Wei Huan: "..."
This is...
The Demon Eye Lord, flying above the lava, quickly spotted Mojiji falling in freefall.
They are truly brave and fearless!
Even with molten lava right in front of it, and even though it couldn't fly, it still displayed boundless ferocity, capable of tearing a hole in the world.
With a "plop," it crashed into the flames.
The lava splashed up small water droplets, then returned to calm.
Wei Huan: "..."
So what am I expecting?
The quiet and brief moment passed in a flash.
Gradually, bubbles began to rise from beneath the molten lava, and something enormous was emerging from the depths of the earth.
The pressure at this moment was immense. Huan controlled the Demon Eye Lord to fly to the highest point and hide against the wall, while simultaneously ordering the intelligent butler to be ready to escape at any moment.
Mu Zhong's fingers had already touched the earring, and his lips were pursed tightly.
Liu Chengzhi sat in his seat, holding his breath as he fastened his seatbelt.
Gods Fight
As long as he behaves himself and doesn't cause trouble, that's fine.
"Glug~ Glug~"
Orange bubbles rose from the depths of the magma, initially small and fine, but then they became larger and more numerous.
Bubbles burst on the lava, sending up wisps of thick, black smoke.
Then, something terrifying began to rise from below, creating a strong sense of oppression.
This oppressive aura even caused Liu Chengzhi, who was hiding in the car, to grind his teeth uncontrollably.
It's like... a soul-shaking experience brought about by a higher level of life.
For example, human ancestors encountered such terrifying beings in ancient times, so it was imprinted on their DNA, making them fearful and unable to avoid it.
Wei Huan kept one eye on the changes in the lava, while the other eye remained in the car, keeping a close eye on Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong was much thinner than Liu Chengzhi, but he was emotionally stable. His eyes, gazing ahead, were filled with a firm will, like a loaded bullet.
"Glug glug glug—"
The voices grew louder and more frequent, and Wei Huan finally said, "Be ready to leave at any time."
After saying that, he turned all his attention back to the Lord of the Demon Eye.
Upon his return, he saw the molten lava surging upwards amidst a crimson heatwave.
The viscous tension caused the magma level to rise very high, almost submerging the black cylinder before finally revealing a patch of black scales.
The scales are oval-shaped, thin at the edges and thick in the middle, with a very textured fan-shaped pattern, and each scale can be half the size of a human body.
To see the whole leopard from a single spot is to know how big something is.
At that moment, a facehugger that had already received the order fell from the ceiling, landing straight on the exposed scales.
The scales, which look black like jade, are frighteningly hot. Facehuggers that land on them don't even last a second before they "whoosh" into fireballs and quickly burn to 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 summoned creatures are somewhat vulnerable to elemental damage.
Especially something that possesses a strong fire attack and is also enormous in size.
Even if his summoned creatures climb up, they will probably be burned to ashes like the facehugger before they reach the fatal spot.
In this world, everything is interconnected, and the tactic of overwhelming numbers is never absolutely invincible.
Soon, the monster broke through the water's surface, revealing its huge, leaf-shaped, flat head, somewhat like a snake's head, but Wei Huan couldn't see any organs on its face.
The entire process of emerging from the magma was incredibly awe-inspiring, with its enormous "head" raised high as if searching for something.
The position of the kiss was constantly swaying slowly.
Then, the situation reached a stalemate.
Wei Huan stared at it for a while before realizing that the other party seemed to be searching for the creature that had disturbed it.
After all, its "head" has no facial features.
Moreover, this thing might be able to locate itself by sound; even though the ghost crow had landed not far from it, it didn't react.
Ghost crows, as a type of undead spirit, are completely silent when they fly, as long as they don't make any noisy cries.
Wei Huan is attached to the Demon Eye Lord.
It is through magical abilities that it has the ability to float in mid-air; the wings are only used to control direction and speed.
So, the stalemate lasted for a long time, long enough for Wei Huan to see the thing slowly slide back.
Until the magma completely calms down.
Wei Huan's gaze 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.
Now that he'd entered this treasure trove, he couldn't possibly leave empty-handed.
Command the Demon Eye Lord to fly around the black cylinder and observe the patterns on it.
What could something so 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 capable of challenging the world. A skeletal cave beast mother eventually merged with his vehicle and became the "Undead Ranch," didn't that happen before?
Thinking about this, Wei Huan was momentarily unsure whether he should hope for better equipment or a better treasure trove.
It would be a good thing if another "professional training ground" could be built.
Finally, Wei Huan managed to touch a black iron pillar through the Demon Eye Lord.
The enormous black pillar, resembling a skyscraper, suddenly vanished into the magma space.
It's gone! Gone!
This caused the magma to surge and the underground cavern to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, the monster, which had just disappeared, poked its flat, leaf-shaped head out of the lava once more.
Red lava dripped down its body, quickly revealing its dense, black scales.
This time, however, 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 any time to react, it slammed down on me.
Wei Huan ordered the Demon Eye Lord to open fire!
A black beam of light shot out from the Eye Lord's eye, the massive magical damage piercing through a black scale and burning into the flesh.
But this injury was like a prick of a needle to the monster's massive body.
It has no effect other than angering it.
The head that was being slapped suddenly accelerated.
The Demon Eye Lord couldn't dodge in time, and saw the enormous body that filled his entire field of vision fall down.
"puff!"
With a sudden jolt in his vision, Wei Huan's attention returned to himself.
He shook his head, his mind still reeling from the crushing impact.
He then quickly adjusted his strategy, saying, "Be careful, they're coming out. Except for the little ones, all the cave beast mothers should apply spirit power buffs, and the running wolves should apply strength and agility... Bloodlust awaits my command!"
A thick, boiling fog billowed from the crack in the center of the altar, and the power of flames surged upwards.
A flock of crows flew up in a rush.
Then the cave beast mothers released their claws, allowing the altar to close again.
But they did not escape.
Instead, under Wei Huan's orders, they surrounded the altar completely, inside and out.
Now that he has taken the treasure, this battle is inevitable.
Challenging the world's treasure chest monsters is a never-ending battle.
If he doesn't want to face endless pursuit in the future, he must take advantage of the terrain to eliminate his opponent first!
The damage the Demon Eye Lord just dealt to the monster may have been low, but it at least means he was able to break through its defenses.
This battle is going to be fought!
