[System: You have entered territory number 10234. Do you wish to launch an attack on this territory?]
[Yes/No]
[Please note that Lord No. 10234 has learned of your arrival and has issued an attack order. Do you wish to engage in battle?]
[Yes/No]
Mu Zhong was the deputy commander and had no choice but to watch Wei Huan.
Without hesitation, Wei Huan selected "yes" for all of them.
Then a new notification popped into my mind.
[Human tank commander Wei Huan declares war on territory 10234!]
[Declaration of war successful!]
[Human tank commander Wei Huan chooses to engage!]
[Victory achieved!]
[War conditions have been met. Both sides have half an hour to initiate the war.]
[Please note that if the attacking side fails to breach the lord's core within three hours, the siege is considered a failure.]
Half an hour?
unnecessary.
The enormous cave beast that had been waiting at the edge of its territory began to move again, like a giant heavy machine conquering a city, pressing forward steadily and slowly.
Wherever it went, it swept away everything in its path, with unstoppable momentum.
Soon, they discovered traces of the presence of alien creatures.
On the vast open space, there was no trace of forest left. It was as if the trees had been violently broken, or perhaps torn apart with teeth. Broken tree trunks and various other marks appeared before my eyes.
Deep drag marks were left on the ground, and messy branches and leaves were scattered on the ground.
Following the trail to the end, one comes to a fence made of simple tree trunks.
Two watchtowers stand directly opposite Wei Huan's direction from the fence.
The sparse fence does not obstruct the view.
In addition, Wei Huan was standing high enough that he could see the wild beast's den behind the fence at a glance.
The fact that the alien monsters haven't developed a technological side doesn't mean they're unintelligent.
They possess strong bodies and sharp teeth, enough to create a beast-like civilization, and even capable of confronting human firearms with their bare flesh.
The higher-level monsters even possess magical attacks from human legends.
This may be precisely why the world is challenged, and why these two worlds are chosen to confront each other.
Humans gain the ability to enhance themselves and even master magical supernatural powers.
The alien monsters, on the other hand, not only have the opportunity to evolve their bloodlines, but can also learn human technology.
Beast dens and watchtowers may seem incongruous, but they are precisely the most common scene in the Challenge World.
The "territory cores" possessed by the Dark Beast Lords also contain systems.
Not only will they improve their lineage through missions, but they will also receive technological training.
From addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to algebraic functions, from literacy to physics, chemistry, and biology, there are small tests every three days and big tests every ten days, and those who fail are punished.
It is said that there are also a large number of monsters on the other side, and in order to avoid the terrifying learning, they have chosen never to enter the challenge world again.
The horror of studying spreads in foreign lands.
But now, the Dark Beast Lord that Wei Huan is facing is clearly not a "top student".
It doesn't even have the self-awareness of a top student.
Two simple watchtowers and a fence constituted the entirety of a territory's defenses.
The den is a hollowed-out cave in the mountain, where you can see wolves hiding and peeking out.
Monsters from other realms below the level of the cave beast generally do not have high intelligence.
The intelligence of a wolf is only about that of a human child of seven years old, and almost none of them can develop into a high-level lord.
Even so, under the cover of defensive fortifications.
These novice lords, relying on their powerful physiques...
They can still easily hunt down Blue Star challengers who come to carry out random missions.
From Wei Huan's angle, he could easily see the wolf hiding deep in the cave, its green, glowing eyes filled with ferocity.
And fear.
Mu asked again, "Do you need to be in good form?"
Wei Huan shook his head: "No need."
I don't know how many days this territory has been developing, but it's developed to this terrible state, so Wei Huan really doesn't need to pay too much attention to it.
Under Wei Huan's command, the portal in the abdomen of the cave beast opened, releasing about twenty facehuggers and two cave beast warriors.
They joined together with five wolves and five hidden cats, and charged toward the monster lord's territory.
The monster lord remained hidden in the cave without making a move until the white torrent reached the outpost.
The most primitive sentry fired a log arrow with a "whoosh" and it sped toward a hidden cat.
The hidden cat nimbly twisted its body, dodging the arrow attacks, its speed never ceasing.
The monster lord, which had just poked its head out, withdrew it again.
The cave beast warrior was the first to rush to the fence, its long legs poking into the fence and shaking it vigorously.
Under Wei Huan's silver goggles, the fence's 30 durability points dropped rapidly, and it collapsed in less than 10 seconds.
The defenses breached, and the facehugger swooped through the gap and rushed into the cave.
The ghost crow was faster, flying into the cave.
The next second, the mournful howl of wolves echoed from the cave.
But with the influx of facehuggers and other undead armies, the screams quickly subsided.
Immediately afterwards, a message came from the system.
[Congratulations to human challenger Wei Huan for breaking through the territory's core and achieving victory in the war!]
[Gained 10 points]
[Gained 1 mission point]
[Chain Kill Mission]
[Next stage: 1br10 mission points, reward: Bronze Treasure Chest x1]
"That's it?" Mu Zhong had obviously also been notified, but he still looked completely bewildered. "Wasn't it a bit too easy?"
Wei Huan said, "I was lucky, this one was too weak."
"Absolutely, it was so cowardly, I almost felt sorry for it."
Just as Wei Huan was about to speak, Gui Ya returned. Wei Huan's lips curled slightly: "Next?"
Mu Zhong couldn't wait: "Let's go, let's go, let's go rack up points."
The cave beast carried Wei Huan and Mu Zhong back the way they came.
They quickly left the territory.
After the last summoned creature left, the collapsed ruins, now devoid of their core, seemed to have been wiped away by an unseen hand.
Including the wolf's corpse, together
It has vanished without a trace.
The trees resumed their growth, and the mines were reborn and crystallized, as if this place had never existed.
Quietly, they await the arrival of the next lord.
Soon, Wei Huan arrived at the territory of the second monster lord.
When he saw the almost identical development, he realized that it wasn't that the wolf lord from before was too cowardly, but rather that at this stage, they could only develop to this extent.
A one-star Wolf, plus two watchtowers, should theoretically be able to fight against a Sequence 2 professional who has just completed the challenge.
Furthermore, the defending side has a significant advantage, which is why they are rewarded with 10 points for breaching a core.
Furthermore, humans can earn points simply by destroying a watchtower or a section of the city wall.
But Wei Huan was too strong.
In his presence, all the supposed evenly matched contests ceased to exist.
Wei Huan and Mu Zhong sat on the back of the cave beast, their faces not even showing.
Following the same method, another Lord Core was soon destroyed.
Hearing the pleasant notification from the system that his points had increased, Mu Zhong said with great interest, "Next."
Wei Huan nodded: "Next. ▎_[()]▎'Come @ to see the latest chapter @ complete chapter'()"
The third lord was a bit stronger.
Not only did they build two watchtowers and a fence, but they also summoned two identical one-star wolves.
The Wolf comes from the [Barracks] building.
After constructing a building, the monster lord can recruit warriors by consuming resources.
Depending on the barracks level, there are different probabilities, and you can also summon hero units.
This monster lord was very brave. When Wei Huan saw it, it had already come out of the cave, accompanied by two wolves, and was guarding the door with a look of fighting spirit.
However, this fighting spirit quickly faded when they saw the skeletons of facehuggers covered in rotten flesh and wolf skeletons running out of the forest like a stream.
"Awooo!"
The wolf howled, rolling its eyes, clearly hurling very vulgar insults.
But the crow that landed earlier interrupted its swearing in time.
Fear seeped into his soul, and the wolf's tail was awkwardly tucked between his hind legs.
The damage from wooden arrows is almost negligible against skeletons.
The skeleton of a wolf, riddled with arrows, leaped gracefully over the fence and bit down on the neck of another wolf on the opposite side.
The wolves summoned from the barracks buildings are much braver than the monster lords.
They turned and bit the ribs of the wolf's skeleton, and fought fiercely.
In an instant, hair and bone clubs flew and scattered.
This monster lord was quite brave, knowing he couldn't escape anyway.
After a moment of hesitation, they charged into the undead army and engaged in fierce combat.
However, how could the undead army, which could easily defeat even elite lords who had completed the initial challenge, be stopped by these three "small fry"?
Soon, the familiar system message rang in my mind again.
But then, another system message was sent out.
[Congratulations on your three-game winning streak! Your rank has been raised to Level 2 Invader, and your infamous reputation has been announced throughout the entire server.]
Congratulations! You have become an "Unexpected Event Challenger". In half an hour, you will...
You will be teleported to the territory of a lord ranked 201-300 in the development rankings of that region, and will be able to initiate any challenge.
[Quest complete, reward: 3 Bronze Treasure Chests]
[Please note that if you fail to destroy the territory's core within three hours of initiating the challenge, or if you die, it will be considered a failure.]
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong.
Mu Zhong pondered: "So that's how the unexpected event happened. If nothing unexpected happens, and you keep killing, you'll become the final boss, an elite challenger, and the strongest in the battle zone."
Wei Huan knew more than Mu Zhong: "In rare cases, most of the refreshes of unexpected events are just system arrangements and forced executions."
Mu nodded, indicating that he had learned something new.
He then asked Mu Zhong, "So what? Wait?"
Of course not.
Wei Huan reminded him: "Destroying a territory earns 10 points."
Mu Chong raised an eyebrow and squinted: "Wei Huan, I've noticed that you're a bit greedy."
Wei Huan turned to look at him, his dark eyes gazing deeply.
Mu Zhong laughed heartily, "Me too, hahaha!"
Although it's uncertain whether they can enter other territories while they're on standby for the mission, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.
After leaving this territory, follow the ghost crow forward to reach the next territory.
Hey, that actually worked! They got in!
As a result, Wei Huan and Mu Zhong went on a killing spree!
They raced against time, completely disregarding the fact that they had a countdown task ahead of them.
They destroy one territory and then move on to the next, at an unimaginable speed.
Sitting cross-legged on the skeleton's back, Mu Zhong, with nothing to do, even thought about taking out a tent and picnic basket for a spring outing.
What happened to the random challenge being the hardest?
Didn't you say that humanity would suffer heavy losses on this battlefield?
Yawn~~ I'm getting sleepy.
Little did they know, the monster lords of this area were on the verge of going mad with fear.
The system sends out new messages every seven or eight minutes.
[Human invaders have launched a war against Lord @%￥.]
[The human invaders have destroyed the core of Lord @%￥'s territory and achieved victory.]
[Human invaders wage war against Lords * &...]
[The human invaders... have won.]
[Humans...]
The monster lord was trembling with fear.
Their chat rooms are already in complete chaos.
The lords, who were originally strictly hierarchical, disregarded the differences in class and sent out cries for help in the [chat room]. The increasingly terrifying speculations plunged the entire region into terror.
[Shut up! With Lord @￥# here, even if a whole legion of human challengers enters, they won't be a match for Lord @￥#!]
At this moment, a voice rang out, and the speaker was clearly a person of considerable prestige, especially the one whom it addressed as "Master," who was like a pillar of strength.
The chaotic atmosphere gradually calmed down.
Those who felt they had a say started to speak up.
[Oh, so you, @￥#, are here too. That's good.]
[Thank the gods for bringing me to the region where you, sir, reside.]
Please shelter us.
[Migrate your lands and seek refuge with Lord 12713. I will follow the example of my ancestors and build the most powerful kingdom in the universe!!]

...
"The quest to eliminate Lord 12713 is still up," Mu Zhong said, looking at the time. "I thought the quest would be replaced after I became the unexpected event BOSS."
Wei Huan, also inexperienced, glanced at the countdown timer before being teleported and said, "It seems that the difficulty of the mission lies in the search."
"How about we capture the next lord alive and torture him?"
"You can speak monster language?"
"No way," Mu Zhong said matter-of-factly. "I heard their professional temple is like a nine-year compulsory education system. By then, they should have all learned Arabic numerals, right?"
"..." Wei Huan thought for a moment, "Let's give it a try."
As they were talking, the teleportation countdown ended, and Wei Huan and Mu Zhong disappeared from their original positions at the same time, arriving in a new area in the blink of an eye.
The summoned creatures that were teleported over immediately stood guard around the two of them.
This time, there was no need for the ghost crow to scout ahead, because Wei Huan, standing on the back of the underground beast mother, could see a different building at the end of his field of vision at a glance.
Monster lords ranked 201-300 in district development level are indeed different.
First, a large number of trees outside the territory were cut down, and without cover, the view was completely open, making it impossible to ambush and approach.
The fence was changed from a sparse bamboo fence to a log fence, and its height was increased to two meters.
There are six watchtowers in total. One of them, which faces our side, has been upgraded to a stone tower, 6 meters high, with its range at least doubled and its attack power undoubtedly higher.
Wei Huan couldn't see the development progress inside the city walls, but he knew that based on this development trend, there must be barracks, blacksmith shops, and other facilities inside.
Maybe they'll even recruit a "hero".
As Wei Huan appeared, the monster lord, having received the notification of the start of the war, slowly walked to the gate and looked at Wei Huan.
It is a female cave beast.
The eight eyes on its head showed obvious surprise upon seeing the skeletal remains of the cave beast that Wei Huan was riding.
Then, its mandibles, which had a pair of large pincers, opened and closed angrily, emitting short, sharp "eeeeee~" sounds.
This more intelligent cave beast mother was clearly very dissatisfied with Wei Huan's control over the skeletons of her own kind.
Immediately afterwards, a bunch of facehuggers and a cave beast warrior rushed out of the city walls.
At the current stage, the individual strength of the three-star cave beast is definitely stronger than that of territory technology.
Therefore, after the war began, it decided to take the initiative to attack.
A mere 20 or so facehuggers and a single cave beast warrior dare to launch an attack?
Wei Huan wouldn't tolerate it.
Four spatial portals appeared beside the cave beast mother he was riding.
Ripples spread out.
Immediately afterwards, a large army of fierce bears and wolves, ready for battle, emerged.
They moved in perfect order, their steps synchronized, and the green flames in their eyes blazed with a cruel and intense fighting spirit.
In the blink of an eye, there were 40 undead skeletons around them.
Adding the original 30, it already has the air of a small army.
Wei Huan stood atop the towering cave beast, dressed in black.
The long robe embroidered with gold thread, along with the black thorn crown on her head, exuded a strong spiritual aura.
There is also the kind of battlefield leader, with the aura of a million-strong army.
The mere 20 or so small insects summoned by the Earth Beast Mother were reduced to minced meat in the torrent of bones in less than half a minute, utterly and irrevocably dead.
Upon seeing this, Mu Zhong, who had been sitting up straight, touched the emerald green pendant earring on his ear and put down his hand that was about to tap out a rhythm.
The train commander is too capable; he has no use for his skills.
The enemy lord's most prized ability failed to work, and he was clearly panicking.
The eight eyes opened and closed in succession, hurriedly retreating from the front door and closing it tightly.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh whoosh!!"
The watchtower launched an attack, and the stone tower's destructive power indeed caused some trouble for Wei Huan's undead army.
With a range of 200 meters, the Iron Arrow can break the hard ribs of a bear, pierce its body, and pin it to the ground.
One member of the task force has been reduced.
Fortunately, there was only one stone tower, and the frequency of the Vajra Iron Arrows was 2 bolts per second. In that time, the undead army was enough to rush a hundred meters away.
Just as the undead army was about to reach the city walls, the monster lord on the other side suddenly built a watchtower at the main gate.
Suddenly, a white fog appeared, completely obscuring the view within a ten-meter radius. It looked as if countless construction teams were hammering away inside.
This scene is exactly the same as when the vehicle is being upgraded.
Wei Huan certainly wouldn't wait foolishly for the monster lord to level up; he immediately ordered the undead army to seize the opportunity to attack the city.
At the same time, he ordered the two fastest stealth cats to pounce into the white mist to see if they could interrupt the construction.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work.
The white fog is a special law; once construction begins, it cannot be stopped.
The hidden cat was blocked and bounced back.
Immediately afterward, Wei Huan stopped worrying about the new building and sent half of his summoned creatures rushing towards the stone tower.
Currently, this stone tower appears to pose the greatest threat to him and must be removed.
The stone tower's defense is 200.
A Bear Slash deals 2 damage, a Wolf and a Hidden Cat deal 1 damage, and a Facehugger deals no damage.
Their defenses were quite high, but they couldn't withstand the sheer number of Wei Huan's troops.
After a barrage of attacks, the turret's durability plummeted, and it collapsed in less than 30 seconds.
At the same time, the newly built building was completed, and when the white mist dissipated, it turned out to be a stone tower.
Fortunately, one was destroyed first.
Even if there's only one, its damage output, no matter how high, will have a limited impact on the undead army.
After another burst of attacks, the durability of the newly built stone tower reached 0.
The remaining original watchtower can be ignored.
Wei Huan arranged for four agile stealth cats to scratch the durability of the cats one claw at a time.
The rest of the undead army concentrated their attack on the city gate.
The original wooden city wall has a durability of 300, but the original gate only has a durability of 100.
The weakness was fully exposed in Wei Huan's glasses.
The strongest bear charged ahead and scratched at the gate. The primitive gate was very weak; one swipe of its claws would take 5 points of damage.
Two ferocious bears, plus the long...
This time, it didn't even last 10 seconds before the goal collapsed.
Wei Huan also saw the scenery inside.
Apart from the cave beast's lair, there was only a blacksmith shop; no other buildings such as barracks were constructed.
It seems that this female cave beast has great confidence in her own abilities.
With the help of facehuggers and cave beast warriors, he could have easily passed the assessment for a junior lord.
As for now...
The monster lord, already tormented to the point of utter despair by the ghost crows, was surrounded by the undead army and quickly fell silent.
The "Lord's Core" was smashed to pieces by the bear's claw, mission complete.
system:
[Congratulations to human challenger Wei Huan for breaking through the territory's core and achieving victory in the war!]
[Gained 10 points]
[Gained 1 mission point]
[Chain Kill Mission]
[Complete the Bronze Treasure Chest reward]
[Next stage: 10br30 mission points, reward: Black Iron Chest x1]
[Congratulations, you have completed the "Unexpected Event Challenger" mission.]
[Obtained 3 Bronze Treasure Chests]
Wei Huan closed his eyes and looked at the light screen that the system had displayed in front of him.
There are only two tasks left.
Task 1: Kill Lord 12713 (Main Quest), countdown ends in 68 hours.
Task Two: Kill more lords to increase the rewards from the treasure chests.
The main difficulty of the task lies in the search, and Wei Huan has no solution for the time being.
The chain of missions is simple: kill, start a war, kill!
The more you kill, the bigger the reward!
Wei Huan felt that with three days, he could focus his attention on the golden treasure chest; perhaps that would work.
Besides, the main quest and the follow-up quests don't conflict; he can kill enemies while searching for the quest leader.
At the same time, four bronze treasure chests were obtained, and Mu Zhong led the chests out to open them.
At the same time, a system message popped up in Wei Huan's mind.
[Obtained Bronze Agility Potion x1]
[Obtain 1 bottle of mineral water]
[Gain 1 unit of salt]
[Obtained 5 Cotton]
Bottled water is the most needed resource right now.
Mu Zhong didn't bother to continue opening treasure chests; he first took out the water and tossed it to Wei Huan, saying, "Here you are."
Wei Huan looked at the bottle of water in his hand and wanted to hand it back.
Mu Zhong said, "Drink half, and give me the rest."
Wei Huan stopped being coy, tilted his head back and drank it down, quenching his thirst.
The mother cave beast carried them on her back, continuing forward.
Mu Zhong finished the remaining half bottle of water and asked, "Wei Huan, how much do you know about the pilot sequence?"
Wei Huan thought for a moment: "The driver sequence is a dispensable auxiliary role, but..."
"Indeed." Mu Zhong chuckled, rubbing his forehead. "I guess I'm destined to be a support player for life. I've always hoped to be like Captain Fang, but fate..."
Wei Huan looked at Mu Zhong, who had already resigned himself to his fate, and wanted to explain that this profession had combat capabilities, but it needed to be upgraded to [Sequence 5 Mech Technician].
But then he realized he couldn't explain where this advanced knowledge came from, and fell silent again.
