Chapter 23: The So-Called Trial
Outside the base.
A military drone flew in from afar, and under the belly of the aircraft, the camera flashed red, and everything that happened in the barracks was in the eyes of the eyes.
Explode.
Flame.
As well as massacres.
Lin Hua, who saw this picture for the first time, couldn't believe his eyes at all! Especially when he saw the headless corpse of Wolf Xing, Lin Hua's whole person was not good.
Is it just a bunch of wanderers?
You are so strong, do you want to do my big plan for this praying mantis cicada catcher?
Saruti saw the scene as well.
For a while, I was also confused.
The original plan was that no matter whether these wanderers could kill Ed or not (in Lin Hua's opinion, this success rate was basically non-existent), the super power team led by Saluti under Lin Hua would join the battlefield when the situation was chaotic, fishing in troubled waters, and eating both.
However, the explosive combat power of the reincarnators smashed all of Lin Hua's calculations to pieces.
After a long silence, Lin Hua's voice finally came from the headset.
"The original plan ...... Go on! ”
This sentence was said by Lin Hua to grit his teeth.
Because of the situation, it has reached a critical point that Lin Hua didn't expect and didn't want to see.
With the combat power of this group of wanderers, it is not difficult to kill Ed and capture the meteorite...... But what about after that?
Who would dare to guarantee that this group of people would be able to deliver the meteorite to Lin Hua?
Who can guarantee that they won't think otherwise?
The significance of this matter is equivalent to the emergence of a new group, replacing the original Ed, and the strength is stronger, after turning around, Lin Hua is still a younger brother.
Lin Huake couldn't bear this.
"Balance, balance, do you understand?"
Lin Hua, who was on the other side of the microphone, had a grim face.
Balance the power of both sides and bring the two warring sides to the end.
This is in the best interest of Lin Hua.
So, the time has come to test the operation.
……
"Wolf Xing is dead...... That's ......."
"I see."
After the communication ended, Ed's face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to be affected by Wolf Xing's death.
Look down at your feet.
A huge fire snake with a body length of more than 30 meters was lying obediently on the spot, the entire head of the fire snake had burst open, and the headless body was still twitching.
SSS-class fire ghosts.
Lives were lost here.
The total time is less than a minute.
In Yicheng, everyone knows that Ed is the leader of Yicheng and the iconic figure of Yicheng, but no one knows how strong Ed is.
This is a little secret that Lin Hua and even Wolf Xing can't guess.
Out of confidence in his own strength, even though Ed had known that Lin Hua was careful, he was not willing to deal with this garbage at all.
His fists are the foundation of everything he takes.
The so-called I don't die for a day, you are a minister after all.
Lin Hua's petty fights are not taken seriously by Ed.
However, this time the incident was somewhat beyond Ed's expectations.
"Killed Wolf Xing in ten seconds, this strength is not much weaker than me, I'm afraid."
The choice was in front of Ed.
It's to go back to the surface and put things done.
Or continue to move forward and dig out meteorites.
Looking at the faint red light in front of him, Ed had an idea.
"Boom".
The exploding straight fist smashed into the wall like a cannonball, shattering the hard rock formation with great force, smashing a large crater nearly 3 meters deep.
Then, Ed becomes a ruthless piledriver.
In its body, there seemed to be an endless supply of energy, and his fists drew phantoms, and Ed violently hammered the rock formation as if he was tired, opening a way forward.
I don't know how long it took.
The red light in front of him became more and more prominent.
Behind him, there was the sound of footsteps.
……
The "boom" sound heard by Wang Wei and his entourage was not the sound of battle, but the sound of Ed smashing the wall.
After the group gathered, they set off immediately, and there was no danger along the way, and occasionally some fire ghosts of different appearances could be seen, but they were all dead.
"This Ed is good at melee combat, and his strength is a bit scary."
A simple autopsy by Wuxue resulted in such a conclusion.
The twisted, shapeless body seems to have been twisted into shape by human hands.
There are also headshots that seem to be taken by heavy weapons in melee combat.
There are even those that have been torn in half.
"This Edder's combat system is very similar to mine."
Zhou Wu said shyly, causing Wang Wei to nod.
Judging from the situation on the spot, Ed and Zhou Wu are roughly the same, both of them are the kind of strong people who defeat the enemy with their simple and extremely simple tricks.
As for the intensity.
I can't see it yet...... Just as Tong Wolf Xing didn't force Zhou Wu's full strength, these fire ghosts, even if they were SSS-level fire ghosts, didn't cause much trouble to Ed.
As the red light in front of him became brighter and brighter, the sound of "boom" became clearer and clearer, and about a minute later, a long and narrow corridor appeared in front of everyone, and in the deepest part of the corridor, a tall figure like a mountain was smashing the wall, seemingly not caring about the arrival of the enemy behind him.
"Ed?"
"Well, give me some time first, and we'll talk when I dig out the rocks."
This abacus is quite loud.
Wang Wei smiled and didn't speak, just opened his legs and walked behind Ed.
It wasn't until Wang Wei approached that Ed turned around, he lowered his head slightly to look at Wang Wei, and asked Wang Wei in this posture full of oppression.
"So, whose people are you?"
"Lin Hua's."
"No...... Lin Hua, please don't move a strong person of your level, forget it, I don't care who you are, what I want to know now is, what do you want to do? ”
What to do......
This question stumped Wang Wei.
You're going to say complete the main quest...... This doesn't really matter, it's important to find a pass to the third barrier.
All Wang Wei wants is a pass.
However, up to now, Wang Wei has not found any clues related to the pass.
After thinking about it, Wang Wei grinned.
"We're here to see the play......"
"Watching a play?"
Ed was stunned.
He watched Wang Wei slowly take out the Yongzhen Heavenly Abyss and slam it on the wall behind him.
The sword qi exploded with a bang, smashing down large swaths of rock.
Wang Wei's sword, in terms of power, is no less than Ed's heavy punch...... And faster!
It was so fast that Ed didn't even react.
glanced at Wang Wei, who was holding the knife, and then at the huge knife marks behind him.
At this moment, Ed understood what it meant to be fearless, and what it meant to be under the roof of a person, and had to bow his head.
"I thought about it just now, I'm actually a little curious about this thing inside, why don't you do this, the big guys will cooperate first and break through this passage, let's talk about other things."
The lack of a pass made it impossible for Wang Wei to directly kill Ed. Waiting for the situation to change in order to find out the context and find the clues of the pass is Wang Wei's highest priority.
And before this mission is completed, Wang Wei doesn't want to kill some key plot characters to prevent accidents and troubles.
In other words, it doesn't matter if Ed dies or not, if Wang Wei wants him to die, he will die, it is better to keep this person and see if the clues of the pass will come out of him.
Seeing Wang Wei's actions, Ed opened his eyes, and slowly clenched his fists, his eyes locked on Wang Wei's skull, but for a moment, Ed still nodded.
"Yes."
He's smart.
Smart enough, although he didn't understand the meaning and purpose of Wang Wei's suggestion, he knew that he had no choice at all.
And Wang Wei just smiled, and didn't mind Ed's hostility and vigilance at all.
……
At this moment, Wang Wei and Ed formed a strange balance.
The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, constantly attacking the rock formations, looking more like partners.
"So, all this is just like what Lin Hua said, right?"
"A madman for revenge, a tyrant who disregards the lives of the people at the bottom?"
Wang Wei asked questions while waving his knife.
Ed said, "Pretty much." ”
After speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then added: "Actually, revenge or something is only part of the goal, and more importantly, strength." ”
"Strength?"
"That's right, it's power."
Ed said conclusively: "As my strength reaches a certain limit, I can sense more and more inexplicable calls from the ground. My intuition tells me that this meteorite below, this star of destruction, can allow me to break through my limits and master greater power...... You and Lin Hua should also be here for this, right? ”
Of course, Wang Wei is not here for this.
As a reincarnation, his power was not given by this meteorite, and naturally he didn't feel any bullshit calling.
Thinking like this, Wang Wei suddenly fell into a trance.
Ahead, the red glow of the meteorite looms, and as the rock layers get thinner, the air gets hotter.
But obviously he was close to the target, but Wang Wei stopped chopping and stood in place and thought slowly.
A meteorite that brings calamity and superpowers.
The conflict and struggle between Ed and Lin Hua.
Wang Wei vaguely found a point.
This plot world seems to be alluding to the current situation in the park.
Meteorite = God-given stone.
Lin Hua and Ed = Demon and Hero.
If you think so.
Wang Wei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and vaguely guessed where the pass in this plot world would appear.
Behind him, Zhou Wu stepped forward and whispered in Wang Wei's ear.
"Lin Hua's people are here. They didn't make a move on us, they were going to come down in the name of our partners to find out, Wen San asked you what to do. ”
The thoughts were swirling in his mind, and soon, Wang Wei made up his mind.
"Let them in."
In this series of conversations, Wang Wei did not hide from Ed, Ed listened to it, and did not say anything, he just kept waving his fists and hammering the wall in front of him.
About five minutes later.
With a "boom" sound.
The red crystal layer was smashed by Ed's fists, and a huge underground space appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
And along with it, there is also a monstrous heat wave, and the deepest part of the underground space, the red stone with a diameter of more than one meter.
……
The stone is constantly emitting light and heat.
The intense light and heat formed a gang wind, which blew through the passage and washed directly down the sinkhole to the surface.
Looking from the barracks, you can see a column of fiery red air rising into the sky, straight into the sky, and its momentum is so strong that it even calms down the battle in the barracks for a short time.
Outside the barracks.
Lin Hua, who had just arrived, looked at the pillar of light that rose into the sky, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, without weighing it too much, Lin Hua had already activated his superpowers, and the whole person was like light, rushing towards the sinkhole.
Song Wensan did not stop Lin Hua.
Under the monstrous heat wave, Song Wensan vaguely discovered a strange thing.
This photothermal radiation energy ......
It seems to be useful.
If Song Wensan's perception is not so clear.
So Wang Wei, who received the first round of radiation energy positively, has a deeper understanding and perception of all this.
When the wind swept by, Wang Wei only felt that the conquest decision in his body was running wildly as if he was crazy, and the automatic conquest decision increased the upper limit of Wang Wei's internal force value at an extremely fast speed!
This speed is far beyond the speed of Wang Wei's self-cultivation.
In just ten seconds, Wang Wei's internal strength has increased by more than 100 points, and the speed of improvement is still rising.
Looking back at Zhou Wu, Wang Yuwei and the others, they had obviously discovered the beauty of this place, and their expressions were excited at the moment, and they had the desire to sit cross-legged and practice well.
However.
Now is not a good time and place to cultivate.
Because compared to the simple growth of internal force of Wang Wei and others, Ed's changes are greater and more drastic!
He himself was standing in front of Wang Wei, and the road was also opened by him.
Therefore, when the radiation energy is emitted for the first time, Ed is the closest person to the meteorite.
A large amount of light and heat radiation energy was absorbed by Ed, and its body expanded in an instant, until it expanded to more than three meters, and then slowly shrunk back to its original appearance.
The heart exploded like a war drum.
The extremely ferocious aura fermented in an instant, making Ed look like a beast.
As a plot native of this world, Ed's benefits are far greater and more direct than those of Wang Wei and others.
And the increase in power brings more demands and ambitions.
It can be seen that Ed at this moment didn't say a word, stepped out of his thighs, and rushed straight towards the meteorite in the distance.
And yet he's fast, and someone is faster than him!
Behind him, Wang Yuwei and the others turned around suddenly, but they could only feel a strong wind blowing, but it was Lin Hua, who was dressed in a suit, rushing from behind at a speed invisible to the naked eye, he ignored Wang Wei and the others, and there seemed to be only the red meteorite left in his eyes.
As an SSS-class superpower.
Lin Hua's strength is stronger than Wolf Xing.
And his superpower, the strength lies in speed, at this moment, Lin Hua came first, and actually rushed to Ed's side in a short period of time, and grabbed the meteorite with a slap.
However, there is little space here.
Ed's own strength is stronger than Lin Hua.
When Lin Hua's hand was only half a meter away from the meteorite, a terrifying power suddenly came from behind him!
But it was Ed who simply stretched out his hand and pinched Lin Hua's collar with a slap.
The roar exploded from Lin Hua's ears!
"You unfamiliar dog, Lao Tzu sat in the position of prime minister, but you are against Lao Tzu everywhere. Now I'm still thinking about taking food from the tiger's mouth! ”
"I think you're tired of being crooked!"
Just now, Ed's big thing was about to happen, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Lin Hua.
And now, what he wants is in front of his eyes, but Lin Hua is blatantly outraged, unabashedly his ambitions and desires.
What was once out of reach has now become close at hand.
This time, if Ed can let Lin Hua go, then there will be a ghost.
Shake your hands and twist your body.
Ed's hand-to-hand throw is all in one go.
With the terrifying power that is far beyond that of ordinary SSS-level superpowers, Lin Hua, who was pinched in Ed's hands, has no ability or chance to fight back at all!
"Boom".
Lin Hua was smashed to the ground by Ed on the spot, and at this moment, Ed's hair stood up, like a lion, and he glared at Wang Wei and the others fiercely, and Ed smashed it down with his fist, hitting Lin Hua's face directly.
This punch is solid, and Lin Hua's fate will not be much stronger than those fire ghosts who were headshot.
However, the heavy punch was about to hit the target, and a black light suddenly flashed in front of him.
But it was Zhou Wu who came first, and with a heavy fist of demon-breaking power, he used Ed as a hood.
The energy of this punch was beyond Ed's expectations.
Beastly instincts told Ed that the punch could not be taken, and that he could only take two steps back and take a defensive stance.
However, Zhou Wu, who forced Ed back, did not pursue Ed, he just pulled up Lin Hua on the ground, apparently to protect, but his right hand dragged Lin Hua's left hand, which made Lin Hua dare not act rashly.
And Wang Wei also started quickly and came to Ed's side, this angle ensured that even if Ed rushed towards the meteorite, Wang Wei could stop it at the first time.
"What do you mean?"
Ed said.
And Lin Hua's sharp voice also sounded at the first time.
"Kill him, as long as you kill him, I will give you what you want!"
Lin Hua was obviously frightened by Ed's over-the-shoulder fall just now, and his emotions fluctuated violently, but in just a moment, Lin Hua calmed down and regained his demeanor as the premier of Yicheng.
"I can give you this stone, and I can even give it to you in Yicheng. Power? Wealth? I'll give you whatever you want, as long as you can kill Eddard. ”
The so-called deep hatred is nothing more than that.
In order to kill Ed, Lin Hua seemed to have abandoned everything - but Wang Wei could see that Lin Hua was a person who didn't get up early because of his profit, and now that the situation is like this, he will say these, which really killed Ed, and Lin Hua has a small means to wait for Wang Wei in the back.
This kind of person is actually a politician.
Speculation and opportunistic action are the style of this kind of people.
Ed was not far behind.
"What Lin Hua can give you, I can also ...... you"
This is just blind eyeball.
"You can give me this stone too?"
Wang Wei smiled and pointed to the meteorite behind him, and said so, Ed was silent for a moment, but he still couldn't give an answer.
He can't......
He didn't want to.
Until Wang Wei smiled slightly.
"To sum up, the grievances between the two of you actually lie in this broken stone...... But have you ever thought about it a little. ”
"What are you arguing about, have you ever asked what the parties think?"
"What?"
Wang Wei's words stunned Lin Hua and Ed, and even Wang Yuwei and the others were a little confused, only Zhou Wu nodded as a matter of course, as if he had already known something.
Because, the situation really couldn't be clearer.
Before entering the world of the story.
Ying Xiao has been saying that the plot world on the second to fifth barrier is trials and selections.
These plot worlds are not conventional plot worlds, but selection levels set by Paradise, or Heaven-Sent Stone.
In order to find a "host" for himself.
So here's the problem.
What are the selection criteria?
Who can enter the eyes of the heaven-given stone?
Before, the intelligence was not enough, and Wang Wei couldn't see anything.
But with the meteorite appearing, Wang Wei has already figured out this heavy level and what he wants to test.
One is called empathy......
"You want this stone to boost power." Wang Wei pointed at Ed.
"You want this stone to boost power." Wang Wei pointed at Lin Hua again.
These are selfish desires.
It's not that it's bad.
But in a way, it's a selfish act.
From this, there is Wang Wei's third question.
"So, what do you want?"
He turned his head to look at the meteorite erected in the center of the field.
As if touched by Wang Wei's words, the stone trembled slightly, and the light and heat radiation fluctuated regularly, and soon, the voice like a whisper in the heart resounded in everyone's hearts.
"I want to go home......"
This voice couldn't distinguish between men and women, and it was only neutral, but Wang Wei, who heard this voice, smiled.
"How do you get home?"
"Find someone and take me home."
"Where's your home?"
"I don't know...... I only know a general direction. ”
"And how are we going to take you home?"
"I dwell in you, give you strength, and fly back."
It's as simple as that......
Like an initiation, Wang Weiyi suddenly understood the true meaning of this speech.
The heaven-sent stone is conveying its own demands and desires through the mouth of this meteorite.
The devil, the hero, and the heaven-given stone stand on three legs.
The game has been spread out, and the players are already sitting at the table.
The devil wants the heaven-sent stone for power.
The Hero wants the Heaven-Sent Stone for peace for all generations—but at the end of the day, he's also for power.
The only thing Wang Wei couldn't understand was the appeal of the Heavenly Stone.
All Wang Wei can know is that the Heavenly Stone wants a host...... But what does he want the host to do?
In order to obtain a body that walks in the world?
Possible.
To be able to enjoy the joy and joy of being a human being?
Possibly.
To satisfy your ambitions and desires?
Possibly.
But it is unreasonable to use people's selfish desires to push back the demands and desires of the heaven-given stone - the above are just the speculations of Wang Wei and Yingxiao.
In fact, no one knows what the Heavenly Stone has and what it wants.
"Where is your home?"
"How are we going to get you home?"
Wang Wei asked the question before.
And this time, the meteorite no longer makes a sound.
Because he may also understand that Wang Wei's question this time is not for him, but for some higher-level being.
After thinking about it, Wang Wei shook his head.
He's not thinking about it.
Because......
He couldn't be sure if the meteorite's answer could represent the heaven-sent stone, and therefore, Wang Wei couldn't determine the ultimate purpose of the heaven-sent stone to find its host.
But one thing has been made abundantly clear.
That is, how to get this pass.
