During the retreat, the first hunter to be seized and torn apart by the undead was the one with the slow legs. He was overwhelmed by the undead army and let out a shrill scream.
Two more King Wu were then caught up with.
Unable to escape the swarm of undead, they turned back to join the hunters and fought back desperately. Wei Huan was unable to deal with them for the time being.
Mu Zhong asked, "Do you want to bleed?"
In this situation, just a dozen or so undead would be enough to kill the three Osham challengers on the spot.
Wei Huan closed his eyes and then opened them again, the kindness in his eyes completely gone: "Yes."
Blood debts must be repaid with blood.
He considered the bigger picture, but did the people of Osama consider the bigger picture? Did they consider the Great Xia? Did they consider the family and comrades of the fallen soldier?
Since they still dare to attack the warriors of Great Xia, it means that Great Xia's deterrent power is not enough. They should be made to understand the consequences of attacking Great Xia.
Wei Huan's ruthlessness did not elicit any pity from Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong's thoughts have always been highly aligned with Wei Huan's. He was angry, furious, sad, and pained; their souls resonated, roaring for the fallen Great Xia warrior.
"Knock knock! Knock knock!"
Mu Zhong unhesitatingly cast the Bloodlust Blessing.
As the red light fell upon the undead, their forms grew larger, and in a short time, these undead gained ten times their strength.
"boom!"
A terrible attack descended.
The three Osham challengers who were surrounded were able to barely cope at first, but the next second, they felt a sharp pain all over their bodies. Before they could see where they were injured, their severed heads saw their own torn corpses.
Am I... dead?
In the final moments of life, everyone asks themselves this question.
Death replied, "Yes, you are dead."
Wei Huan's eyes opened and closed, the bloodshot veins in his eyes finally washed away by the splattered blood, and he regained a semblance of calm.
Looking up again, the fleeing Osham warriors had clearly seen this scene as well, and let out an angry roar.
This performance pleased Wei Huan.
That's exactly the feeling. When killing the warriors of the Great Xia Dynasty, they also experienced this kind of maddening pain.
I don't know if sending three over is enough to commemorate our fallen heroes.
Wei Huan looked thoughtfully at the group of Osham Challengers who had stopped and seemed to want to resist.
His spirits followed his actions, their eerie green eyes gazing in the same direction.
Especially the undead that had just killed someone, their bodies covered in blood, the crimson blood intertwined with the bloodthirsty red light. When they all turned around and looked over, the terrifying intimidation startled the Osam warrior who had stopped, and his legs uncontrollably retreated.
"Click-click-click!"
"Ho ho ho!"
"Roar!"
The undead took a step forward.
Osham's warriors took three steps back.
The undead took another step forward.
The group of people were finally terrified and turned to run away.
Wei Huan: "Chase after them."
He gave these commands, but the ghost crow...
They set off first, and the howling black clouds, carrying emerald-green ghost fire bombs, arrived above the fleeing crowd.
The ghost fire bombs fell.
"Boom!"
Green flames obscured their vision, and the raging winds of the explosions whipped up dust and smoke. Amidst the billowing smoke, Osham's group of experts eventually broke up into smaller groups and scattered to escape for their lives.
Wei Huan intercepted them all the way, seriously injuring two more, but ultimately none of them survived.
In the end, they could only chase after the largest squad, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the east side of the island.
Wei Huan recognized the place because he had been there before.
Not long ago, he had come here while assisting Commander Mu in pursuing supplies lost by the Azure Dragon Legion.
This is a small town located between the city controlled by the Shiheng family and Osham's military base in the eastern part of the Mulberry Kingdom.
With a population of less than 500,000, and after the arrival of global challenges, only 60,000 people still live here.
Even so, gangs still manage the area, and the entire city is a chaotic ruin, with only the center barely thriving and operating some services specifically for Osham challengers.
Osham still had two Xia warriors captured, and they were being chased by Wei Huan as they fled in a panic.
The aircraft flew low through the city ruins, barely slowing their pace as they were overtaken.
After passing through the city ruins, walk another eight kilometers to reach Osama's military base.
Where are the people who were supposed to meet us?
"They're already on their way."
The speaker's face twitched as he glanced at the relentlessly pursuing mechs behind him.
They would have been killed in the explosion if they hadn't been holding hostages.
Even so, they can't escape.
Despair is spreading.
Even two minutes is a luxury.
The ghost crows hovered overhead, and green flames flickered intermittently within the large, dark clouds. Osham Challenger shouted nervously, "We can't shake them off! Watch out for those bombs!"
Others roared angrily, "Why are you all running away? We are soldiers of the Osham regular army, we must fight! Only by killing Wei Huan can we stop the undead!"
"Calling base! Calling base! Requesting fire support! Strike my location!"
In terms of military prowess, the Osham Challenger Legion is indeed far superior to that of the Mulberry Kingdom.
When they encountered Wei Huan, their first reaction was not to run away, but to choose to fight or think about strategies to win.
On the great battlefield, the soldiers fighting against the Dark Beast Lord were not from the Great Xia nation alone.
Without the combined efforts of these legion challengers from various countries, Earth would not have survived until now.
Wei Huan respected every brave and courageous soldier.
If they hadn't killed the warriors of Great Xia...
The Ghost Raven's Hellfire Bombs were skillfully dodged by Osham Challenger. As Wei Huan's intelligence was investigated, the tactics against him gradually matured.
Using Hellfire bombs to strike Osham Challengers piloting aircraft is like using a cannon to shoot down a bird; unless there is a large-scale, widespread bombardment, it is impossible to hit them.
But since they had hostages, Wei Huan fought with great restraint.
And so, chasing, fighting, and bombing, they arrived in the blink of an eye.
It reached the edge of the city.
Meanwhile, reinforcements from Osam arrived.
Along with the reinforcements came hundreds of artillery shells hurtling behind them, leaving trails of neat white smoke as they roared to the edge of the city in an instant.
Then, an explosion occurred.
"Boom! Boom!"
This explosion was far more massive than Wei Huan's use of the Hellfire Bomb; this was a true ground-cleansing bombing.
Buildings collapsed and exploded, flames and smoke were everywhere, and civilians were fleeing in panic.
Sure enough, people were still living in these ruins.
Osam's soldiers were stationed here and couldn't possibly be unaware of the specific situation, yet they still went all out.
They pretended not to know anyone was there and pretended to be cleaning up trash.
The intense artillery fire destroyed the houses and killed Wei Huan's spirit.
These artillery pieces are quite powerful, clearly possessing technological sophistication that challenges the world.
Left with no other choice, Wei Huan ordered the undead army to halt its operations.
This also allowed Mu Zhong to stop his mecha and move away from the battlefield.
The Demon Eye Lord, flying high above, surveyed the surroundings with Wei Huan's perspective.
Osham's artillery fire created a vacuum between Wei Huan's undead army and Osham's challengers, successfully rescuing his own warriors.
Wei Huan had indeed never fought against a regular army.
Although the Dark Beast Lord is powerful, Wei Huan can use any means necessary, regardless of the cost, because he doesn't need to worry about anything else and can simply kill.
Moreover, when it comes to the art of commanding modern warfare, human generals are clearly superior.
The timing, the amount of ammunition, and the location of the explosion were all just perfect.
It was extremely painful for Wei Huan to be able to see her but not catch her.
Moreover, the Osham Challengers, on the other side of the vacuum zone, also received a battalion of reinforcements.
There were more than 200 people.
Piloting their aircraft, under the cover of artillery fire, they joined up with the dozen or so people who were fleeing in panic right under Wei Huan's nose.
Wearing uniform Osham combat gear and wielding various weapons, the Osham Challengers, who are at least Level 3 Challengers, certainly have a considerable deterrent effect.
They moved with measured steps, some welcoming their companions, some providing cover, and others directly attacking the undead army.
When the only unharmed ghost crow crossed the flames of war and reached the other side, just as it was about to use its old trick of Soul Scream, dozens of holy lights shone from the legion, landing among the ghost crows and taking away a large number of dark figures.
The ghost crow was killed.
Moreover, some of the spirits killed by those who prayed were directly purified and would not return to the Great Tomb.
This kind of loss is a real loss.
As challengers improve their strength, a system of checks and balances between different classes begins to emerge.
Of course, light and darkness are mutually restraining. A sufficiently powerful undead will not fear the damage from light and may even corrupt it.
Take the witch Agris, for example; her dark magic possesses the strongest corrupting and degrading properties.
The Ghost Raven's star rating is too low; it can be easily purified by those who pray.
Wei Huan had no time to feel sorry for himself and could only order Ghost Crow to continue blocking the way.
On the other side, his undead army had also reassembled, under Wei Huan's command.
Under the order, a new round of attacks began.
"Bloodlust." Just then, Wei Huan suddenly said.
Mu Chong understood immediately, and lightly tapped his fingers on the azure earring, making a "thump-thump! thump-thump!" sound.
Just a second before Mu Zhong activated his Bloodlust, the opposing Osham Legion simultaneously sounded the war drums.
"Knock knock! Knock knock!"
It seems that not only Wei Huan's strength has been thoroughly investigated, but Mu Zhong's has also been thoroughly investigated.
Regarding the excessive ferocity of the undead's Bloodlust, the staff departments of various countries unanimously agreed that only by activating Bloodlust simultaneously could they counter Wei Huan's move.
As for the warriors who gain bloodlust, the long period of weakness that follows is no longer important in the face of death.
Wei Huan frowned as he listened to the increasingly intense battle drums.
On the other side was the high priest shaman, whose rank was higher than Mu Zhong's, and they were being suppressed.
There's no other way but to use it.
"Come out."
Wei Huan silently gave the order, and a teleportation portal instantly expanded to a height of one hundred meters.
Then, a huge, pillar-like white jade leg emerged, and a loud "whoosh" resounded throughout the heavens and earth. A gigantic cave beast mother emerged from within.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong looked up at the behemoth that was 150 meters tall.
The Osham Challenger opposite them, along with many others who had been observing the battlefield, stared at the enormous undead and fell into a brief silence.
What... is this?
Is it really a subterranean beast mother?
Aside from being much larger, something seems different.
Has Wei Huan discovered something new? By the way, does the ability of the Earth Beast Mother Beast include gigantification?
That's right, this is "Point Mom" after completing the "Hero Unit" upgrade.
After successfully evolving into a hero unit, it seems that it's not just about becoming gigantic. DotMom's body is now surrounded by a ring of floating transparent air sacs, making it look more like a jellyfish swimming in the ocean.
Upon arriving on Earth, he immediately opened his abdominal cavity as ordered by Wei Huan.
Then they saw countless smaller cave beast mothers fly out from inside.
These underground beast mothers remained the same size, but strangely, they gained the ability to float in mid-air.
They moved their limbs, like a swarm of jellyfish, and with each contraction and expansion, they suddenly darted forward.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived near the Osham Legion.
They then realized what was happening.
"Watch out! It's a new type of soldier!"
"Quickly, attack those mother beasts! Use firepower to intercept them! Don't let them get close!"
"Retreat to base!!"
One order after another was issued, but the completely unfamiliar undead units ultimately put them at a disadvantage.
The burrowing female beasts that were scurrying over were not getting any closer, but their abdominal cavities began to be densely covered with facehuggers.
These facehuggers also remained the same size, but amazingly, they also gained the ability to swim.
It's like it treats the air as water; it can move through the air, leaping forward like a swarm of creepy fleas, landing in a flash.
In the legion.
This really threw the Osham challenger off guard.
Subsequently, the challenger, who had received the Bloodlust Blessing, discovered that these facehuggers were nothing but paper; he could easily kick them to pieces, and they were so weak that they seemed to die with a breath.
"It's nothing! It's very weak!"
"Maintain formation and continue retreating!"
"Damn it, it still hurts a bit when it bites me."
"Too many! I hate fleas! Ugh! One jumped on my face! Ugh!"
The Osham Challengers were still retreating towards the base, but their retreat was unknowingly affected by the Facehuggers, slowing them down.
But these were not Wei Huan's real goals.
Just as some facehuggers landed, the ghost fire bombs hidden inside their bellies finally exploded.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Several loud noises were met with a barrage of insults from Osham's challenger.
"I knew it, he likes to use this trick."
"We always use facehuggers to hide bombs, but that won't work after a while."
"Be careful, protect the praying ones and the wise ones, keep retreating, hurry, I have a bad feeling..."
The person who said this was a squad leader. He had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized something and looked up.
Behind the swarms of facehuggers that were leaping over, in the place where they were truly hiding, the jellyfish-like cave beast mother beast had already floated over.
Before they knew it, they were almost overhead.
Meanwhile, on top of these cave beast mothers stood a group of tiny dog-headed people, hooking their claws and grinning at them.
Then, they opened their mouths and made a "tui" sound.
One after another, dark shadows fell.
It's about rebuilding Rome!
It's still the bloodthirsty Rome!
That's right!
From the very beginning, it wasn't Dian Ma who made Wei Huan inflict bloodlust on Mu Zhong.
DotMom is a mobile arsenal. Once it becomes weak from its bloodlust, Wei Huan will be unable to use the Crypt Beast Mother and Facehugger inside for the next month.
When Dotma became a hero unit, she granted the undead under her command the ability to fly, but she also recalled all the units. This allowed her to revive Facehuggers and Crypt Lords without consuming Wei Huan's Nether Power. However, if the enemy only attacked her, her weakness was still very obvious.
That big guy is too easy to beat.
In short, you shouldn't use Bloodlust lightly, and it's best to never use it in your entire life.
So from the very beginning, the bloodlust that Wei Huan had Mu rekindle was the Asura squad.
The Roman unit is incredibly useful, except for its inability to fly.
A race that exists specifically for war, yet it possesses elemental attacks despite being only at the fourth rank.
Using the kobolds' teleportation ability, they parachuted in from several kilometers away, landing directly in Osam's army.
Every part of their bodies is a weapon, and what's even more terrifying is the Geng metal power flowing through them, which not only makes their defense stronger, but the sharpness of their claws can even destroy the King of Martial Arts' armor.
Shuro, who had fallen into the midst of the Osham Legion, was caught in a chaotic battle with the equally bloodthirsty Osham Challengers.
A frenzied battlefield, the most terrifying meat
It's a fighting meat grinder; even the fire support from Osham Base can't reach here.
The challenger's terrifying power tore the ground apart, leaving buildings vulnerable and billowing with smoke and dust.
Of course, overall, Osham's challengers are indeed stronger.
Undead are weaker than other undead of the same level, and now they are fighting across levels. A fifth-tier Osham warrior can easily take on five opponents at once.
Some people have realized that Wei Huan isn't actually that scary.
Of course, the premise that they are not scary is that they have more than 300 comrades around them and the firepower resources of the base behind them, so that the combination of these two people cannot stop them.
At this moment, however, no one would think about boosting the morale of others and diminishing their own.
The fighting prowess of the Shura Empire satisfied the Osham challenger's thirst for battle and sense of accomplishment, and the killing was surprisingly enjoyable.
There was a constant stream of ghouls being killed, and another constant stream of ghouls falling; everyone was killing with great gusto.
Then, at some point, someone suddenly shouted, "The bloodlust is ending! I'm weakening!!"
weak?
weak!
Damn it, we fell for their trap!
The side effects of bloodlust began to appear; the Shuro, who had just been able to kill people with a single kick, suddenly seemed much harder to kill.
They are starting to weaken, and this process will probably take a while.
The moment they sensed their weakness, they were already looking for a way out.
But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that almost everyone was separated by the Roma (Roman Empire).
The Roman Empire is also weakened, but there are also those that are not weak.
The fact that the two sides were intertwined revealed a complex web of conspiracies from the very beginning.
They were surrounded and had no way to escape.
Moreover, many more, only those with attribute blessings landed, first using their bodies to block their retreat, then constantly dying and returning.
As their weakness worsened, and even the Shuro, blessed with pure attributes, couldn't kill them, the three hundred people here fell into an unusual silence.
The aftereffects of the bloodlust finally struck fiercely, leaving some people so exhausted and weak that they could not even stand up.
Beside each person, there are two or three well-maintained shuriken guarding them.
The battle was over.
From a one-sided battle to a complete rout, Wei Huan used his undead army to stage a prisoner war that was almost like magic.
Less than ten kilometers from the Osham base, he captured three hundred Osham challengers, many of whom were Tier 5 professionals.
Wei Huan did not kill them, but instead took them prisoner.
This left ample room for negotiation.
In Wei Huan's hands, the skill of commanding a legion became an unparalleled art.
The base commanders who rushed to the scene found their soldiers collapsed on the ground, all of them captured.
Everything went black, and he fainted.
What a disgrace!
I might as well just die!
...
Jacques was "stood up" by the country he served; he was like someone nailed to a frame, hanging at the highest point, undergoing an inner test.
Behind him, the deputy conductor clamored, "I can testify, I can testify!"
"I witnessed Wei Huan attack Shi Heng's convoy with my own eyes. It was so chaotic at the time, and we couldn't stop Wei Huan's brutality. Even now, thinking back on it, I'm still haunted by nightmares. Wei Huan was too ruthless; he must be controlled by dark forces. He's a devil!"
It's such a shame the deputy conductor didn't take the acting exam. He portrayed fear, anger, and even the sorrow of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox in the face of a rabbit's death, even though it never happened.
Although the Great Xia side might not be able to see it, and certainly wouldn't believe it, Jacques did see it, and seeing it made him feel nauseous.
However, no matter how much I dislike him, I can't expose his tricks from my own perspective.
His conscience is suffering unprecedented condemnation.
Just then, Jacques heard a message coming from behind him through his earpiece.
"Attention! Wei Huan has landed on the island! Attention! Wei Huan and Mu Zhong have landed on the island and are flying towards the center! Attention!"
"So he must stand trial!!" The deputy commander, who had also heard this, raised his voice and howled like a rooster.
Jacques clenched his fists, trying his best to endure.
He tried to compromise.
Then another vehicle-shaped aircraft flew over. The vehicle hovered and came to a stop on the sea surface. After the door opened, a beautiful woman with long, flowing hair flew out.
But this only applies when she's not smiling. When she smiles, the flesh on her face seems to freeze into a stiff mass, and her face becomes distorted.
"I can attest that what they said is true." The South Korean female leader stated clearly upon arrival: "I can swear that Wei Huan is vicious and bullies the weak. He wants to exterminate the Shi Heng family. It is too unsafe for such a person to hold the key to human transformation. I strongly demand that Great Xia reveal this key."
Discarded cell phones come from heroes and martyrs around the world; they are the most precious heritage of their respective nations, not the private property of any one country or individual!
As soon as he finished speaking, another voice rang out behind Jacques.
"I can also testify." The speaker was a middle-aged man with curly hair. He was the leader of a squad from the Kingdom of Tula and his stance had always been on Osam's side.
"We urge Wei Huan and his country to cease using force to infringe upon the interests of others. Do you intend to start a civil war?"
Jacques gave the man with the curly hair a deep look; he really hadn't expected that the Kingdom of Tula would get involved in this mess.
It is said that the Kingdom of Tula has been secretly collecting discarded cell phones for a long time, apparently because their Level 5 pilots revealed a glimpse of the future, making them firmly believe that the items in the discarded cell phones will one day see the light of day again.
This explains why Tula, a powerful and influential nation, would be present here.
They are probably the ones here who are most anxious and most eager to get the "password".
In order to obtain the password, Yangmaojuan, together with the South Korean female leader and Jacques' deputy captain, declared to Daxia with unwavering conviction: "Wei Huan is a demon. He has risen from his grave. Perhaps he is already dead, his body possessed by a devil. He not only slaughtered more than 300 members of the Shi Heng family, but now he is doing whatever he wants in the Mulberry Kingdom, and more people are dying! He is a demon, and he should be judged! He is the enemy of all mankind!"
"no!"
When Jacques heard the last sentence, the string that had been taut in his mind finally snapped.
He couldn't help but shout, "Are you all crazy? What has Wei Huan done? How many times have they saved Earth? How can you speak against your conscience?"
"Where is your conscience?!" He pounded his chest, roaring hysterically, veins bulging from his neck.
