Wei Huan destroyed 83 cities in one night, venturing more than 3,000 kilometers deeper into the destination.
As dawn approached, they ended the battle and returned to the convoy.
The main fighting force, who had been battling all night, all returned to their vehicles to rest and recharge.
"There will be another tough battle during the day," Mu Zhong said to the other drivers who hadn't boarded yet. "The Dark Beast Lords are blocking our way. Their density is higher than we expected. They don't intend to intercept us at the end of the pass. Instead, they're using sheer numbers to try and trap us all within the 80th parallel."
As Mu Zhong finished speaking, everyone's expression changed.
This was indeed an unprecedented tactic. They had underestimated the Dark Beasts. These beasts didn't want to spare Wei Huan; they wanted to kill them all in one fell swoop.
If Wei Huan had known they were using this tactic, he wouldn't have been tied to the convoy and forced to advance slowly.
They probably rushed to the front long ago and fought their way through.
It's already the ninth day of the challenge to the world, and we've only just discovered that the Dark Beasts have changed their tactics. If Wei Huan hadn't pushed forward a bit last night, we would never have imagined things would turn out this way.
In that case, they might actually be left behind within the 80th line.
Even Wei Huan would be judged a failure by the challenge world and swallowed by darkness.
All's fair in war; the battlefield of civilization has indeed been reduced to nothing but cruelty.
The assessment involved a total of 90,000 people, most of whom were pillars of their respective countries and challengers at the third and fourth levels.
If the dark beasts were to wipe them all out here in one fell swoop, not only would the human race fall behind within a year or two, but the outcome would likely be decided.
The Dark Beasts' wolfish ambitions provoked condemnation from the human race, creating a tense atmosphere.
Compared to Wei Huan, who commanded the frontline battles, or Xu Qingqiang and others who went to the front lines themselves, Mu Zhong was much more relaxed.
So while Wei Huan and the others were resting, Mu Zhong held an emergency wartime meeting with the generals of each legion.
During the meeting, Mu Zhong also announced a message.
His Steel Star AI calculated a set of data for him: based on the current progress, if the entire army concentrates its firepower to open a line, they should be able to reach the 80th line within the time limit.
But it's impossible to break through to the bottom.
No one will receive supplies from the challenge leaderboard if no one breaks through to the end.
While the golden treasure chest awarded to the first place winner may be dispensable for Wei Huanche, it is still of great value to humanity as a whole.
But what's even more valuable is the silver to bronze treasure chest reward given to the first 10,000 challengers after crossing the finish line.
A dozen or so bronze treasure chests are nothing, but what if there were seven or eight thousand bronze treasure chests? That would be a huge fortune.
Each time humans pass the test, the rewards they receive will slightly increase the overall combat power of humanity.
If this "point" is lost, it means the Dark Beast has become a little stronger.
With each move ebbs and flows, every pursuit and victory is crucial.
It must be said that the Dark Beast's scheme was truly insidious.
If it weren't for Jacques's sudden message, they probably would have been in deep trouble this time.
Just then, the butler sent a message: "Deputy Commander, Colonel Jacques wants to speak with you."
.
Mu nodded: "Bring them in."
On the video screen in front of Mu Zhong, Jacques's face appeared with a serious expression. He said, "Excuse me, there's something I'd like to confirm with you. Is the road ahead blocked?"
Mu Zhong sighed and nodded: "Yes, I was just about to contact you..."
...
Wei Huan rested for two hours, mainly to reorganize his troops inside the tomb.
The worst thing about this kind of relentless battle is the weakened state of the shaman after the blessing, which is definitely a huge weakness of the shaman.
Mu is able to advance to Sequence Four: High Priest, which allows him to extend the duration of blessings based on his cultivation progress, while also shortening the weakness penalty.
Now, not many of Wei Huan's spirits have died, but due to their weakness, most of them are no longer usable.
You will have to wait 24 hours to summon them again.
The remaining troops would likely find it difficult to sustain the entire battle.
So when Wei Huan opened his eyes and heard Mu Zhong say that Ya Ke and the other team would join their team and were willing to accept Wei Huan's unified command, he was truly relieved.
He then stated that Mu Zhong's attribute blessing would probably no longer be usable in ordinary daytime battles.
Not only the undead army, but also Xue and others are suffering from the torment of a weakened negative state.
Xu Qingqiang, the only one unaffected, can recover by eating a lot, but after a night of intense fighting, he is probably not suitable to continue fighting this morning.
Mu Zhong frowned, his expression complex.
He wouldn't underestimate himself or think he was a burden to Wei Huan, after all, past battles had fully demonstrated that the gravedigger and the shaman were a perfect match.
He was just helpless; having two professions hadn't brought him real strength, and he was falling behind Wei Huan, who was growing rapidly.
Wei Huan raised his hand and brushed it across Mu Zhong's brow, saying, "Alright, don't overthink it. We should say that we underestimated the cunning of the Dark Beast. This move was indeed unexpected."
Mu Zhong took a deep breath, nodded, and pulled himself out of that negative emotion, regaining his fighting spirit as he said, "For regular territory battles, Dou Lin's judgment should be enough. You also have Flying Monkey to buff you, and now with the support of Jacques and others, there shouldn't be any problems."
Then Mu Zhong said, "If possible, it's best not to use my attribute blessing again. Our information is being transmitted through the Spirit Beasts, and they must know that we are at our weakest after the blessing ends."
We must always be in peak condition to prepare for any major battle that may break out at any time.
"And you..." Mu Zhong straightened Wei Huan's clothes and said, "You'll have to work hard."
Wei Huan nodded, his heart filled with a warm feeling, as if it were overflowing with sweet and tender things, making him want to cup this person's face and kiss him.
Finally, he simply brushed his forehead and hair aside, saying, "It's alright, don't worry. All communication with the outside world will be left to you. Some guys have ulterior motives, don't let these rotten apples affect us."
"Um."
After a brief moment of intimacy, the two quickly returned to their intense battle.
Wei Huan currently has less than half of his troops at his disposal, but this is only the portion of the undead army that can be mobilized. However, in terms of total combat power, Wei Huan can still deploy...
Human combat power is also capable of overwhelming the Dark Beast Lord.
Sending out the undead army as cannon fodder, followed by two thousand convoys from the Great Xia? [()]?'Come? See the latest chapter? Full chapter'(), not only are there enough of them, but there are also level four leader vehicles and escort vehicles, all of which are excellent for attacking strongholds.
The opposing Dark Beast Lord was only level 4, and was no match for such dense artillery fire. Soon, the city was destroyed and the beast perished.
Jacques and his men rushed over when the attack on the second territory began.
There were more than 20,000 people, all of whom were members who had undergone assessment and official guards from countries such as Osam, Tula, and Fence.
In addition, while the Great Xia was pushing forward, many challengers from other small countries, many of whom were close to the Great Xia, had already joined Wei Huan's team.
Now that Jacques has arrived with his team, all 90,000 challengers are present.
Mu Zhong activated the wartime system, and the faces of the leaders of the convoys from various countries appeared on the big screen. However, only countries with sufficient combat power could attend this meeting. Other smaller countries were required to join the legions of a certain country for easier command.
One thing is worth praising.
In recent years, due to various reasons, there have been many temporary alliances in the world. As a result, each country has a complete and consistent set of special plans, including how to establish a supreme command, how to arrange the troops of each country, and how to gather the fighting power of small countries into a force. It is very complete and efficient.
This temporary wartime alliance was even explained to ordinary challengers, not to mention challengers from various legions.
Just a few days ago they were engaged in fierce competition and scheming, but now they have united in the face of a formidable enemy.
Humanity has many dark and unpleasant aspects, but it also has many shining ones, those brilliance shining like the stars in the universe, illuminating humanity's path forward.
There were generals from 16 countries whose faces appeared on the screen.
On the Great Xia side, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong were the ones who showed up.
Wei Huan had supreme command authority.
When this position was being selected, others thought Jacques would compete for it, but Jacques also chose Wei Huan, and Wei Huan was ultimately elected as the interim commander-in-chief with a high number of votes.
Because it was a secret ballot, no one knew which people did not support Wei Huan. Wei Huan glanced at each face on the screen and looked completely unfazed.
But in a place they couldn't see, at the bottom of each person's screen, their voting choices were displayed.
The countries of Bang, Sanguo, Tula, and two others all chose Yak. However, Yak voted for Wei Huan, and surprisingly, the leader of the Fence Kingdom also voted for Wei Huan.
The "voting system" is a "cheat program" that was created after the challenge world. Wei Huan and Mu Zhong's intelligent systems have far higher permissions than this program, exposing everything hidden beneath their seemingly calm exteriors.
Wei Huan remained calm and composed, and Mu Zhong was also very shrewd, but the others in Wei Huan's car were not like that; they were cursing and swearing, but fortunately, they did not appear on camera.
Xu Qingqiang pointed at the South Korean female general and said, "She winked at you when she called your name during her speech, and smiled so gently. She really stabbed you in the back."
Mu's cousin said, "Her divination skills are really good. The bus is in dire need of someone with this ability, but unfortunately, her character is not good."
"If you let someone like that onto the bus, aren't you afraid you'll die too soon?" Xu Qingqiang tilted his head and lit a cigarette.
He looked down on this fair-skinned, beautiful woman with full lips, who perfectly matched his aesthetic standards.
The countries were unaware that their true colors had been exposed. When those who supported Jacques saw Wei Huan selected, they immediately put on smiles and congratulated him on taking office.

With the war situation tense and time running out, as soon as Wei Huan was elected, Jacques and others hoped that Wei Huan could issue orders immediately.
The Dark Beast's move was a stroke of genius; if Wei Huan hadn't been there, everyone here, including Jacques, would probably have been trapped.
Jacques wasn't intentionally trying to boost the morale of others while diminishing his own; rather, his extensive experience told him that only Wei Huan's selfless act could save everyone this time.
This is why he handed over the temporary wartime leadership without even a fight.
But he never expected that these compromises, made one after another for the sake of the living, would become an insurmountable mountain that crushed him, leading to a "degeneration" that shocked the world.
Wei Huan said, "The main force will advance in a straight line and wipe out all the territories of the dark beasts that appear along the way."
However, be wary of attacks from both flanks. The Dark Beast Lords are not only defensive; when necessary, they will leave their territory to fight regardless of the cost.
"I will entrust the flank guards to the convoy you brought, Jacques. 'When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken,' I think you all understand this saying. Don't do anything unnecessary, unless you want to be swallowed by darkness yourself."
Wei Huan's words were too direct, clearly indicating that he didn't trust them, which made some people in the video call look very unpleasant.
But then Wei Huan said, "Follow me and obey my orders. I can guarantee that we will not only get everyone out of this assessment, but we can also try to get the treasure chest reward."
They want to cut off a generation of our human race in this way, but aren't they also sending a group of their elites to our guns?
I am Wei Huan, and I keep my word. This time, I will definitely thwart the Dark Beasts' conspiracy and make them regret gathering so many high-level Dark Beasts here.
Humanity will prevail!
Humanity will prevail!
Humanity will prevail!
When the slogan was shouted for the third time, the generals in the video were inspired with courage by Wei Huan's confidence and their fighting spirit was ignited by the slogan.
"Humanity will prevail!"
The last sentence was shouted out by everyone at the same time!
The fighting spirit was ignited by this statement and this slogan, but the core of it all was Wei Huan's words, "Follow me."
The role of a leader is highlighted. When a person has the ability and is willing to take on this responsibility, people will abandon their own thinking and believe in him wholeheartedly, then follow in his footsteps and move step by step toward victory.
Men guarding the flanks were sent out, but Jacques was left behind.
Wei Huan said, "I need your ability to break through the city walls at the crucial moment. My soldiers are too tired and they need some time to rest."
Jacques nodded: "Okay."
Jacques's fifth-class chariot followed Wei Huan's fifth-class chariot, leading the army.
Before long, another wall belonging to a Dark Beast Lord appeared before everyone's eyes.
Wei Huan's army of the undead set out once again.
Those who don't know Wei Huan would be surprised to see more than 10,000 dead, never imagining that half of Wei Huan's abilities had actually been sealed.
Moreover, after fighting all night, Wei Huan not only lost his Netherworld Power, but also consumed one of his energy tanks.
Fortunately, he had two energy tanks.
The undead army emerged from the portal and charged fearlessly toward the Dark Beast Lord's city walls.
Among them were a large number of facehuggers, which served to fill the ranks.
However, facehuggers should not be underestimated; you never know which one might be hiding a ghost bomb inside its belly.
If it hugs you at close range, even an epic hero would die on the spot.
The undead army led the way, followed by the Alliance convoy.
Wei Huan's gaze soared to the highest point in the sky, looking down as if the eye of God was surveying the sand table. With a casual flick of his wrist, a chess piece was calmly placed, and the outcome of the game was decided in a single move.
"Colonel Jacques, prepare your abilities."
"Colonel Jacques, please continue to gather your strength and await my orders."
"Colonel Jacques, now's the time! Make your move!"
At Wei Huan's command, a bullet fell from the sky onto the bloodied city wall.
A tiny bullet, no thicker than a finger, dark gold in color, suddenly appeared from a height of three hundred meters and then fell vertically.
It collided with the city wall and then exploded.
A loud "boom" resounded.
A full-force attack, comparable to that of a Tier 5 vehicle, struck the weakest point in the city wall's defenses.
The city wall collapsed in response.
The undead army swiftly stormed into the territory, and together with the chariots, began a vengeful massacre.
The entire battle, from start to finish, lasted only 5 minutes until the Lord's Hall finally collapsed. During this time, apart from a few damaged vehicles, there were no casualties.
Jacques stared blankly at the battle that ended so quickly.
This is the first time I've ever seen humans conquer the Dark Beasts' territory so easily.
It was utterly devastating, truly devastating.
As the undead army advanced, the dark beasts were like a plague spreading, utterly unable to resist, as if it were a natural disaster.
Some sources indicate that the eighth sequence for the gravedigger is [natural disaster].
How powerful are natural disasters?
Humans know that it is something that cannot be resisted; it is the wrath of nature.
It's hard to imagine that a human could evolve to this extent.
He didn't believe it before, but now he has a concrete image in his mind.
"go ahead!"
Wei Huan gave the order, and the army rushed to the next battlefield without stopping.
This is a race against time.
Today is the ninth day of the highway inspection. According to the plan, they should arrive at Route 80 at noon today.
The truth is, they only traveled 3,000 kilometers in one night, still more than 5,000 kilometers from their destination.
On the way ahead, the Dark Beast Lord's territory was so densely packed that it was impossible for them to develop further, and they also had to stop Wei Huan and his group.
Fortunately, Jacques brought his men, and they cooperated perfectly, saving time by not having anyone set up a leader.
As the only Sequence 5 in this assessment world, his addition did indeed greatly alleviate Wei Huan's pressure.
The walls that were worn down by the constant sacrifice of the dead, if they were to be breached again by relying on the dead, would require an even greater sacrifice of the dead.
The profit multiplier should be at least 5 times.
Moreover, there is a possibility of numerous casualties.
But now that he has Jacques, Wei Huan calculated Jacques' explosive power based on the attack he just received. As long as he can reduce the wall's health to below 60%, Jacques can kill it in one strike.
Terrible destructive power.
With proper coordination, you can minimize the loss of your own undead.
So... it really can last until nightfall. Once Big Bear and the others can return to the battlefield, with the addition of elite undead, the battle will be simple. I can also store up Netherworld Power to deal with any possible battles.
Wei Huan gave Jacques a deep look, feeling a pang of regret.
He wanted someone like Jacques, and he also wanted the abilities of that woman from the Three Kingdoms. He wondered if the Great Xia Dynasty had similar abilities and if they would be willing to send them to his carriage.
If one's own vehicle were to develop to the highest level, a war machine even more advanced than a space fortress, would it be possible for all these talents to join one's vehicle?
The battles were intense, with a fight almost every ten minutes. The battles lasted anywhere from about ten minutes to five minutes, after which everyone would traverse the ruins that the Challenge World had not yet recovered and head to the next battlefield.
Keep moving forward.
Meanwhile, information about the human caravan, through the constant probing of the dark beasts, gradually accumulated in the mind of a dark beast royal at the end of the pass.
Unlike the royal dark beast that Wei Huan killed in the random battlefield last time, this dark beast was clearly an adult. It was much stronger and had a lot of prestige. The dark beasts gathered around his throne included not only the noble-blooded Jisi Beast and the two-headed Hidden Demon, but they had also all reached the fifth rank.
Moreover, fifth-tier dark beasts in their prime are different from fifth-tier dark beasts in their youth. They are often more intelligent and clever, and also possess the powerful strength that only comes with reaching this age.
For example, this royal dark beast is now lying on its throne in a posture with three heads and six arms, and a body like a lion.
This body, so similar to that of Shuro, is clearly because it believes it is a more suitable stance for combat, and it also makes it look much stronger than Shuro.
Not only was its body more robust and its muscles more developed, but also its head... The head was not fierce enough, which was probably the biggest weakness of war weapons like the Shura. This Dark Beast royal family used its unique royal ability to replace its teeth and jaws with shark-like ones, so it could be said that it showed ferocity and violence from head to toe.
Between its closed and open eyes, the battles Wei Huan had experienced were sent into its brain by the Jisi Beast. This feeling was like an inheritance from ancient bloodlines, so profound that it seemed to be engraved in every cell.
Then, it made a purring sound from its throat, with a hint of cat-like satisfaction as it lazily said, "His weakness has been found."
The closest spirit beast twisted a wisp of black smoke and silently watched it.
The voice rang directly in my mind: "Then you can kill him, my king. The emperor will be pleased, and you will become the heir."
"No, we've lost our chance."
To everyone's surprise, the three-headed, six-armed, shark-toothed Dark Beast royal shook his head at these words, saying, "No matter how many Dark Beasts there are, they cannot stop their advance. We cannot kill them before nightfall, and this war is doomed to be lost."
Then it asked the Spirit Beast, "Do you know why we lost to the human race before this?"
The beast said, "It's all because of a human named Wei Huan."
The royal family member said, "Yes, that's right, it's all because of him, but you're only half right. The most important thing is that our race was too confident. While crushing humanity, we underestimated the emergence of their younger generation. The emergence of any genius is not without warning, but he has done so much, and we are only now paying attention to him. What does that mean?"
The Beast of Thoughts suddenly realized: "It's because..."
The royal family member said, "It's because we lack intelligence. The world had already warned us about his appearance, but we had zero information about him. Your people are arrogant and self-willed, and that cub is incredibly stupid. Before we knew he had the strength to sweep everything aside, we should have sent out the information first, so as not to catch us off guard."
Finally, the royal gazed into the distance and said, "My strategy was very effective, forcing out that human's greatest weakness."
Next, all we need to do is deploy the right tactics on the right battlefield and surround and annihilate him when he is at his weakest.
Ultimate victory will belong to our Dark Beast race!
