Chapter 144 - Chapter 144 The Abnormal Dou Lin

Mofidi may have come looking for us.

When this pseudo-artifact was acquired, it bore a special inscription: "A curse from the abyss; once targeted by Him, the holder will never have peace."

That guy might be a god, or he might just be a god's watchdog, but without a doubt, meeting him is the only way to obtain god-level equipment.

Wei Huan was not afraid to face Mofidi.

Even if it's a god-level monster, this is only a level three world. Just like before, even if it has immense power, it will still be suppressed by the power of the world.

Wei Huan was prepared to face a god-level monster, but he didn't want to broadcast this scene.

Facing a god-level monster is an awe-inspiring challenge, and he certainly cannot hold back his full strength; the live stream will reveal all his power.

"Deterrence" doesn't mean "revealing your hand." You always need to have a trump card in your hand to feel more at ease.

"Is it Mofidi who's here?" Mu Zhong knew Wei Huan best. He glanced at Wei Huan, then at Dou Lin, seemingly lost in thought. "Is there any necessary connection between them?"

Wei Huan shook his head. He didn't know what connection Dou Lin had with Mo Feidi; he only knew that his weapon was a warning of danger.

"So where is the entrance? Is it underground?" Mu Zhong asked, based on his previous experience.

As he said this, everyone's gaze fell on the ground.

Half a patch of scorched earth.

In areas not bombed by the Hellfire Bombs, scattered remains of limbs and broken pieces that the Challenge World hadn't had time to retrieve are still visible.

The slimy mud is the most comfortable environment for the Bluebeard people, but it is so disgusting to humans that they don't even want to get their wheels on it.

So, does that mean there's a god-level monster hiding beneath this mud?

Are we supposed to crawl down there?

"Everyone, set up the cameras and spread out to look for anything unusual here," Mu Zhong ordered.

Does that mean we don't need to burrow underground?

Li Xue visibly breathed a sigh of relief and poked her head out from behind Captain Xue, saying, "We don't have any cameras in our car, let's just go look for them."

"I'll trade you."

"No need. We're not all useless. Scattered Bluebeards are no match for us. If all else fails, we can hold out until you come to our rescue."

"Let's go and take a look too." Mu Zirui smiled. "Commander Wei's methods are impressive. They've made my killing intent boil. I also want to have a big fight."

"Who can disagree?" Li Xue agreed. "We are your comrades, we can't just let you work hard. Leave the small things to us."

Team Leader Xue nodded, supporting his wife L's statement.

Mu Zhong went to see Wei Huan, and after seeing Wei Huan nod, he smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble everyone. Based on our previous experience, Mofidi came from underground magma and was sacrificed by the civilization in the ruins in the secondary world. So the totem on the wall may be the key and will guide us to find the mechanism."

"knew."

"no problem."

Both vehicles answered, and then each chose a direction to leave. Not long after, the sounds of battle could be heard.

Mu Zhong turned to look at Wei Huan and saw that he had taken off the Ring of Morpheus and was holding it in his hand, seemingly trying to get some information from this pseudo-artifact.

This weapon looks

It looks like a black iron rod, about 1.80 meters long, with a half-meter-long chain at the end. Wei Huan usually carries it on his back like a staff, and occasionally he holds it in his hand.

It's still unclear whether one end of the chain is up or down. All we know is that it should be a part of a divine artifact, so its full name is [Pseudo-Demon·Morfidi's Ring (Fragment)].

Before I obtained it, it was like the magic staff that the monkey took away, stuck in the molten lava, enormous. After I got it and took it out of the warehouse, it had shrunk to this size.

It's probably just because of the "fragments" that many of the artifact's functions haven't been released; only the 25% increase to all attributes is available.

Even so, it's still amazing.

But who wouldn't want more? Once you have artifact fragments, you want the complete artifact; once you have a weapon, you want armor.

Wei Huan's attempt to locate Mofidi by sensing the connections between the artifact fragments was a correct approach.

Seeing his reaction, Mu Chong hesitated for a few seconds before suddenly fixing his gaze on Dou Lin.

"Orange Juice L, put him down."

Liu Chengzhi frowned: "Let him run around like that."

"Put it down, it's okay."

Wei Huan also looked over and instantly understood Mu Zhong's intention, looking expectantly at Dou Lin.

Dou Lin's feet touched the ground, and he took off running. He wasn't wearing shoes, and his small, thin, dark feet made a soft "tap tap tap" sound as they stepped on the ground. His hands were raised in front of him as if he were touching something, and his eyes were wide open, as if he were awake, but he didn't respond when called.

This is a very typical sign of sleepwalking.

Dou Lin ran straight out of the driver's seat, muttering something to himself. Everyone present was an evolved Challenger, and they could hear him saying, "Where are you? Where are you?"

Wei Huan and Mu Zhong quickly chased after him, but Liu Chengzhi ran even faster, protecting the child L as if afraid he would bump into something.

Mu Zhong said, "Perhaps it's just the simplest form of sleepwalking."

Wei Huan said, "Let's give it a try. If it's not this place, then something's strange."

Mu Zhong raised his voice again: "Orange Juice L, when did he start sleepwalking?"

Liu Chengzhi said, "I was busy in the kitchen, and when I turned around, he was standing behind me. I didn't even know."

Mu Zhong then looked at Wei Huan: "Look at the direction he went, was it the kitchen?"

Wei Huan nodded.

Dou Lin arrived at the kitchen, which was the southeasternmost corner of the car. He wandered around the kitchen, seemingly looking for something, constantly muttering, "Where are you? Where are you?"

A sleepwalking child, dressed in loose white pajamas, wandered around the kitchen with his eyes wide open, which was quite frightening.

Liu Chengzhi didn't dare to leave for a moment, and he collected all the knives and forks along the way.

Wei Huan and Mu Zhong stood in the kitchen and watched L for a while. They exchanged a knowing glance, and then Wei Huan said, "Butler, turn the car around and head southeast."

"Yes, Captain," the butler replied.

The car started, and the direction of the front of the car changed. Dou Lin, who had just been like a headless fly, stopped and stood there blankly for a while before running out of the kitchen with his hands raised.

Wei Huan and Mu Zhong quickly stepped aside and followed closely behind him, returning to the driver's seat in the same manner.

This shows that their idea is...

Yes, the direction is correct.

Xu Qingqiang, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, tilted his head to look at Dou Lin and asked Wei Huan, "What are you doing? Taking the kid L for a walk?"

Then he added, "Isn't anyone going to discuss the treasure chest from earlier? I've got my eye on an agility-enhancing eye patch. Can I buy it on credit? I don't have enough DKP."

Wei Huan ignored him and asked the steward, "What's up ahead?"

The steward said, "We've reached the border seven miles away, and so far we haven't found anything unusual."

"Drive over there," Wei Huan ordered.

The car drove seven miles away, and the undead army moved in the same direction. Before reaching the tentacled slime that had not yet been bombed, they charged straight in.

So the slime that hadn't been shown to the live stream audience before finally came into play.

The undead army's bodies were covered in slime, slowing their advance until they could no longer move.

Sure enough, this place is a spider cave.

If it weren't for the Hellfire bombs clearing the way, this place would have become the most advantageous guerrilla warfare zone for the Bluebeards.

However, Wei Huan doesn't intend to take things slowly now.

He has two "energy tanks," doubling the production capacity of the Hellfire bombs. If he's only throwing level 3 bombs, he still has a considerable stockpile.

So all the undead were ordered to leave the Tentacle Forest, and the Ghost Raven once again charged in with the Netherfire Bomb in its beak.

The ghostly fire, stuck to the slime, exploded, sending the tentacles and the entangled undead into the sky.

A scorched earth continent once again appeared before Wei Huan and the others.

Walking among the tentacles, the AI's radar would occasionally spot a blue-bearded man popping up, only to vanish in an instant, disappearing into the slime that concealed them.

The further they went, the more blue-bearded people they encountered, their numbers appearing fluttering in the air and seeming terrifying.

This meant they were heading in the right direction; the Bluebeards were gathering. However, having witnessed the power of the Netherfire bombs, they dared not advance easily again.

Having lost the protection of the world, they not only lost their "path to heaven" but also their war chariots, and had long lost the courage to confront Wei Huan.

Finally, as they approached the map's edge, it seemed they had crossed the line for these Bluebeard people.

Those disgusting and ominous blue tentacles suddenly came to life, baring their fangs and claws, lashing out with slime.

"Protective shield".

Wei Huan gave the order to activate the Level 5 protective shield.

Now their car only needs a level 5 balcony and a level 5 crash barrier to be fully upgraded.

They only lack the core materials for the vehicle upgrade blueprints. Once they apply, the legion will definitely approve it. If the legion doesn't have it, they will help them exchange for it. As a key vehicle that the Azure Dragon Army is focusing on developing, they don't need to worry about the materials needed for the upgrade.

The shield, now upgraded to level five, not only offers enhanced protection but also gains offensive capabilities.

It is especially effective against attacks from spirits.

Wei Huan's Ghost Crow army had made great contributions in every previous battle, but when they arrived at the advanced battlefield and encountered a territory with a level 5 protective shield, they were simply no match for it and were wiped out in large numbers.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ghost Ravens' movement speed was comparable to teleportation, and that their only task was to transport the Netherfire, the Ghost Raven Legion would probably have had to slowly withdraw from Wei Huan's main army.

Now, Wei Huan also has

The most obvious feature of the Level 5 protective shield is the continuous blue electric current that strikes the tentacles. The electric tentacles twitch and stiffen, weakening the force of the strikes and making it impossible to break through the Level 5 protective shield.

Offense is a form of defense.

The seemingly ferocious tentacles failed to stop Wei Huan's car. Instead, they were unlucky enough to fail to capture the undead from the tomb immediately and were instead flattened.

This demonstrates that these tentacles are highly aggressive.

The endless array of near-Tier 5 vehicles does indeed have a significant advantage in this Tier 3 world.

Before long, they saw the ancient gate hidden in the dense forest of tentacles, amidst the helpless gazes of the Bluebeard people.

The style of this gate is completely different from the architectural style of the passageway we came through.

The architectural style of the passageway we came through is more like a technologically advanced style that challenges the world, while this gate is extremely ancient and mysterious, more like the core of the Bluebeard civilization.

"Boom!"

The watchtowers on the chariots fired incredibly powerful weapons, while ghostly fire bombs carried by ravens exploded on the door.

They were like the most hateful invaders in history books, carrying guns and cannons, and stormed into the primitive tribe.

The gate collapsed with a crash.

At that moment, Wei Huan truly felt the intense despair emanating from the blue-bearded people in the dense forest of tentacles.

But we can't be soft-hearted.

If we don't want humanity to experience the same fate in the future, we must become more ruthless.

We must arm ourselves with the spoils of war and become stronger!

The gate slammed shut, revealing a pitch-black passageway.

The butler's radar scanned the area and said, "Commander, the temperature ahead is increasing, which is consistent with the environment where Mofidi is located."

With a thought, Wei Huan released the spirits that had just been captured and brought back to the tomb.

He would never go into such a depressing cave unless absolutely necessary; the undead could explore it.

In addition, to prevent the Bluebeards around him from disturbing him during the battle, Wei Huan issued a "weeding order".

Ranged classes cooperate with tanks to launch ranged attacks, clearing large areas of space to ensure visibility.

Even Captain Xue and Mu Zirui, who had left, were called back.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard that L had work to do.

After a flurry of hacking and slashing, it was finally their turn to show off their skills.

Wei Huan handed over the cleaning work to them and focused on exploring the hidden cave.

The bad news is that the cave is too small; it can only accommodate wolves of average size at most. Units like the walking bears and the Shura are unable to move.

Moreover, even the wolf can only move alone, which is a very effective counter to necromancers who rely on overwhelming numbers to defeat their enemies.

In the end, Wei Huan could only use his veteran soldiers.

The ground was filled with wolves, the walls were covered with facehuggers, ghost crows were flying in the middle, and some of the Demon Eye Lords were also there.

This was the maximum number of troops Wei Huan could muster within the limited area.

At the same time, his vision followed the Demon Eye Lord into the depths of the cave.

The passage was long, dark, and damp, but unlike the Bluebeard people's overall living environment, there were no tentacles or slime here, only...

An ancient sense of decay.

They made their way into the depths without any obstruction. Just when Wei Huan thought the passage had no end, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from ahead.

As the earth shook, rubble rained down from the passageway, as if to bury the army of the dead alive.

Wei Huan's gaze instantly returned to himself, and he found that everything was calm on his side, and it wasn't the Bluebeard Man outside causing trouble.

During their exploration of the secret passage, more than a mile of the surrounding dense forest of tentacles had been cleared, and everyone was very motivated.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Huan turned his attention back to the Demon Eye Lord.

He thought the Lord of the Eyes had been buried alive, but in fact he hadn't.

Some loose rocks did fall from above the cave, but the passage remained intact. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if some rule was protecting the passage from collapsing. Some stones had completely detached from the walls, yet were held in place by some force and floated in mid-air.

What could be the reason?

Before Wei Huan could investigate, another rumbling sound came from ahead, and this time it was continuous, with even more rubble in the passage.

Could it be a volcanic eruption?

Wei Huan, who had always been eager to collect all the divine artifacts, not only did not back down, but became even more impatient.

He ordered the undead army to advance at top speed, and that he needed to see the situation for himself, no matter the reason.

The continuous roar even broke the walls and created deep, bottomless underground fissures in the tunnel.

The undead army nimbly leaped across the floating rocks. Even if some fell off, it didn't matter; if they died, they would return to the Great Tomb, and if they survived, they could consider it scouting.

It continued rushing forward for more than half an hour, and the roar never stopped during that time.

Finally, Wei Huan broke through the narrow passage, and a bright and open view appeared before him.

For a moment, he thought he had returned to the ground.

No, or rather, they thought they had returned to Earth.

He actually saw a sky full of stars in this underground world.

Where are you? Where are you?

Suddenly, Dou Lin's urgent voice rang in his ears. The child L's voice was already crying, and large tears slid down his cheeks: "Don't die, please don't die..."

Wei Huan suddenly turned his head to look at the starry sky, and realized something amidst Dou Lin's crying.

[Sequence of Prophets]

[Diviner] → [Astrologist] → [Prophet] → [Astrologer] → [Miracle Worker] → [Divine Gifter]...

The fourth type of prophet is the astrologer.

Looking at the stars scattered across the underground dome now, and hearing Dou Lin's voice in my ears, it's hard not to connect them.

Moreover, recalling Dou Lin from his previous life, he was exceptionally powerful, far surpassing challengers of the same level. Could it be that I am witnessing Dou Lin's extraordinary adventure?

After hesitating for a moment, Wei Huan made a decision.

His gaze returned to his body, and he said, "There's something in there that's attracting him. I'll take him in."

Liu Chengzhi looked at the child L, then at the gloomy cave, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll stay with him."

But before he could finish speaking, Xu Qingqiang, who had thrown away his cigarette butt, tucked the child L under his arm and said, "You're fat and weak, what are you going to do? I'll go."

After saying that, he vanished in a flash.

When they saw Xu Qingqiang again, he had already carried Dou Lin into the cave.

Wei Huan felt reassured when Xu Qingqiang led his men inside.

However, Wei Huan still ordered the spirits along the way to cooperate with Xu Qingqiang. When they encountered some underground fissures that were too far apart, the spirits even used their own bodies to form bridges so that Xu Qingqiang could pass through.

While Xu Qingqiang brought Dou Lin over, Wei Huan did not stop exploring. The undead army quickly filled the space and soon found a new passage to explore deeper.

The passageways connected to a starry underground space, like rooms leading to rooms, until the Demon Eye Lord he possessed arrived in the new space.

It was as if he had stepped into the starry sky, and the stars in the sky fell down, forming clusters of light. They seemed to be alive and crowded in front of Wei Huan, jumping and hopping like in a fairy tale world.

Hehehe~

Haha~

A childlike, clear laugh rang in my ears.

Gazing intently, Wei Huan seemed to see tiny figures within the clusters of light, like legendary elves, with wings, radiating light, and opening their arms to embrace him…

Wei Huan suddenly woke up when everything went blurry!

That's right! He possessed the body of the Demon Eye Lord, so he had no sense of touch or hearing and shouldn't have been able to feel any of this.

But by the time Wei Huan realized this, it was too late. His vision blurred, as if he had fallen into a chaotic void of light.

He chose to leave this Eye Lord and set his sights on another Eye Lord.

Then he witnessed a horrifying scene.

All the undead who entered this space seemed to be enveloped in a ball of light, and the death fire on their bodies visibly weakened.

After these orbs of light obtained the fire of death, a faint green tinge appeared in the center of the orbs, and the undead that were absorbed by them all died.

Moreover, this death was one from which there was no resurrection. These spirits did not return to the great tomb.

This was the first time Wei Huan had encountered something like this... no, it wasn't the first time. The spirits that Xu Qingqiang had eaten could not be resurrected.

So... this is my weakness. If I absorb the death energy from the undead, will I break the undead's ability to resurrect infinitely?

Wei Huan never considered himself invincible. Not to mention his ability to absorb energy, even light-based attacks were specifically designed to target him.

Knowing something is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.

Seeing that he could not be resurrected, Wei Huan ordered all the dead to leave and not to come back in.

But these orbs of light, after their feast, were not satisfied. Instead, they were stimulated to have an insatiable appetite. They floated up from the shriveled, energyless bones. Even though Wei Huan could not see their faces, he could still feel their drooling hunger.

The fairy tale was about to turn into a world of horror in an instant.

Wei Huan miscalculated this time.

For the first time, he realized that having too many was not a good thing. He had sent too many undead into the passage, and when he needed to run back, these undead actually caused a traffic jam in the passage.

They can directly capture the dead and bring them back to the tomb, but what about Xu Qingqiang and Dou Lin, who are almost there?

It's easy to put it away, but if you want to put it away again...

Sending in the undead would be difficult.

We cannot leave these two to face this group of lights alone, whose situation is unknown.

There were about one or two hundred orbs of light, each only the size of a fist at first. They absorbed the energy of the undead, rendering the undead's physical attacks completely ineffective.

In a short while, the ball of light grew larger, and there was green light inside its body.

Wei Huan sent Ghost Crow to the front.

Since they are both spiritual beings, they might be able to harm each other.

The dark clouds formed by the ghost crows swirled around the ball of light, finally trapping the unbridled light. The ghost crows and the ball of light intertwined and consumed each other, but before Wei Huan could rejoice, large swathes of ghost crows disappeared. Although the number of balls of light also decreased, the ghost crows were still at a disadvantage overall.

What pained Wei Huan the most was that these ghost crows could not be resurrected.

Wei Huan, who believed himself to be resourceful and capable in every way, encountered such a challenging battle for the first time.

Wei Huan could only order Gouzi to rush in, grab Xu Qingqiang who was still rushing forward, and bring him out.

Regardless, let's get out of this cave first.

Xu Qingqiang didn't understand, but he could understand what was going on when the dog was pulling his trouser leg in the direction it was coming from.

But as soon as he turned to walk back, Dou Lin, who was under his arm, burst into tears, crying out, "Don't die! Don't die!"

He struggled wildly, but as a fourth-order astrologer, even though he was just a child, Xu Qingqiang found it difficult to control him when he struggled with all his might.

Xu Qingqiang was incredibly annoyed. He grabbed his shoulders and shook him, yelling, "You fucking wake up!"

Even so, Dou Lin seemed to be held tightly by something, unable to break free from the nightmare, and could only cry and struggle.

Xu Qingqiang thought for two seconds, then tugged at his trouser leg, which the dog was holding onto, and ran deeper into the cave!
