Chapter 457 Zhou Kang and the Immortal System (Long Chapter)
Silently, a transparent light curtain appeared in front of the black-armored man. It seemed that only the black-armored man could see this light curtain. He opened his eyes and scanned the light curtain with a little blur, reading the information on it.
"A mysterious enemy destroyed your XX base. Find and eliminate the enemy. Mission difficulty: B level. Mission reward: XXXX units of energy, XXXX units of wood."
Looking at the newly refreshed mission information, the black-armored man rubbed his eyes in disbelief. When he found that he was not wrong, he couldn't help but let out an angry howl.
"Who did it! My XX base! It took so much energy and wood to build it. It's not easy for me!" The black-armored man's face was extremely cold, but at this time he looked like he was in pain, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, there was only one black-armored man on this ice cliff, so his appearance was not seen by others. After shouting exaggeratedly for a while, the black-armored man's expression suddenly changed to calm thinking, and it was impossible to see that this guy was howling about his losses before.
【Base XX was destroyed. Who did it? Demon? Pah, nonsense. In this demon world, only demons can destroy their own sub-bases. I just don't know which demon force will go deep into the ice purgatory to destroy their base. 】
【Look at the tasks given by the system. Although B-level is not a simple task, it is much easier than A-level and S-level. This means that the army that attacked their base is not too strong. In this case.】
The Hei family had a plan in mind and quickly walked down the ice cliff. Under the ice cliff, countless groups of undead buildings stood quietly. Ghouls, crypt demons, even undead wizards and banshees were lying between the buildings, motionless as if they were asleep.
Arriving at a huge castle in the center of the building complex, the black-armored man walked in without hesitation. Opening the illusory light curtain again, he began to select the troops to be sent out.
Soon, some of the sleeping undead soldiers woke up and gathered in front of the huge castle. At the same time, three white figures that looked almost identical to the lich that Illidan had just solved, and a knight riding a black skeleton warhorse also came here.
Without saying much, he directly gave orders to the troops gathered in front of him through the system. Under the command of the black-armored man, this large number of undead troops began to move towards the junction of the Ice Purgatory and the Abyss Land. And their mission, of course, is to find and eliminate the enemy that destroyed a sub-base of the undead.
In the black-armored man's opinion, the one who could run to the Ice Purgatory to destroy one of his sub-bases must be a demon force in the Abyss Land near the Ice Purgatory area. The demons in the Ice Purgatory have been almost cleared by the undead, and they don't have this ability.
According to the B-level difficulty given in the task, the demon force that destroyed his sub-base should not be a powerful demon city. With the strength of the army he sent out, completing this task should be a sure thing.
Unfortunately, what the Black Armored Man didn't know was that it was not the army of a certain force that destroyed the Undead sub-base, but only Illidan.
The difficulty of a B-level task set for one person and the difficulty of a B-level task set for a force or an army are two completely different concepts. More importantly, compared with the forces or armies with larger targets, Illidan alone seems more hidden.
At present, it is still a question whether the Undead troops sent by the Black Armored Man can find the real master; not to mention that even if they find it, they may not be able to defeat Illidan. I am afraid that his task will be difficult to complete.
However, the Black Armored Man obviously didn't know this at this time. After sending the army to fight, he did not return to the huge throne on the ice cliff, but stayed in the huge castle in the Undead building complex and fell into memories.
The name of the Black Armored Man is Zhou Kang. Like Yu Fei, he is also a traverser. However, unlike Yu Fei who traveled to the beautiful world of Esraz, Zhou Kang traveled to the demon world with an inexplicable Undead system.
Unlike Yu Fei, Zhou Kang had never played the game Warcraft before crossing. Fortunately, the cheat code he got was different from Yu Fei's. It was a system with fool-proof guidance.
Following the tasks issued by the system, Zhou Kang developed the undead in the remote demon world. Although he did not reach the level of the third-level black castle, he also opened up more than a dozen sub-bases in the Ice Purgatory to mine the not-so-abundant resources.
Opening the illusory system panel, Zhou Kang looked at the only task at the top.
"The only task - the road to return, the conditions for achieving it are unknown, and you need to complete the main task to unlock it. Task difficulty: unknown. Task reward: return to the earth."
It was this task called the road to return that supported Zhou Kang to survive tenaciously in this world of terrifying demons and change his consciousness step by step.
Unlike Yu Fei, Zhou Kang rarely came into contact with online articles, so he almost collapsed at the beginning of crossing. After all, there are still a few guys as thick-skinned as Yu Fei. It is easy for an average person to collapse if he suddenly finds that everything around him - family, lovers, friends and even the entire society - has become another scene beyond his understanding.
What's more, the environment in the demon world is very harsh. When Zhou Kang just crossed here, he almost got frozen to death by the cold climate of the Ice Purgatory. If the system hadn't issued him the task of building a large cemetery in time, so that he had a place to live after that, he would probably be the dumbest crosser to die.
For a long time after crossing, Zhou Kang was in a state of confusion. After building the large cemetery to save his life, he became a otaku in it, not knowing what to do next.
It was also the system that transformed his body into a physique similar to that of the undead, without eating; otherwise, Zhou Kang would have starved to death in this icy world.
Until one day, Zhou Kang finally woke up from his confusion and began to try to understand the undead system that caused him to cross, and then he found the "Road to Return" task at the top of the task panel.
No one knew how excited Zhou Kang was when he saw the eight words "Task Reward: Return to Earth". He didn't expect that he could actually return to Earth and return to the world he was familiar with.
After that, Zhou Kang quickly cheered up and devoted himself to the tasks issued by the system with 100% enthusiasm. In just two years, the undead almost controlled the entire Ice Purgatory.
Of course, this is also because there are very few demons in the Ice Purgatory. Moreover, as one of the four major areas of the demon world, there are still many hidden powerful demons in the Ice Purgatory. Some legendary and even epic demons have not been completely eliminated by the undead.
After taking another look at the Road to Return mission, Zhou Kang felt full of strength. Then, he pulled the mission panel down. Under the only mission is the main mission.
"Main mission-Black Castle. Completion conditions: Occupy at least half of the territory of the demon world. Mission difficulty: S level. Mission reward: Open the authority to build the black castle."
Zhou Kang has always been very enthusiastic about completing the main mission, because the final achievement conditions of the Road to Return mission need to complete the main mission to unlock. But now, the progress of the main mission has fallen into a bottleneck.
Although the Undead have occupied the Ice Purgatory, the Ice Purgatory is larger than the Abandoned Land, but its total area is less than one-fifth of the Demon Realm. It is a big task to occupy half of the Demon Realm, which is worthy of its S-level difficulty.
If the area of the entire Demon Realm is counted as 100, the smallest Abandoned Land is only 55, the Ice Purgatory is 15, and the Lava Kingdom is slightly larger, with 20. The remaining 60% of the area is the Abyss Land.
The Lava Kingdom is far away in the south of the Demon Realm, and the Undead cannot reach it. In order to occupy half of the Demon Realm, Zhou Kang has no choice but to start from the Abyss Land. If he can capture more than half of the Abyss Land, plus the already controlled Ice Purgatory, the main task of the Black Castle can be almost completed.
But it is not an easy task to conquer more than half of the Abyss Land. As mentioned earlier, there are as many as 134 demon cities on the Abyss Land. In every demon city, there is at least one epic demon king.
Although the epic demon king is not a threat to the extremely powerful undead race, it is not as simple as clearing out demon cities one by one when a war really starts.
In the history of the demon world, the Flame Demon Emperor of the Lava Kingdom once wanted to unify the demon world. On the surface, the Flame Demon Emperor is the only mythical demon in the demon world and is called the Demon Emperor. The strength of the Lava Kingdom is not weak, and there are many epic legendary Flame Demons.
However, if you want to unify the demon world, you must first face the Wuyuan Land. It can be said that the Wuyuan Land is equivalent to the Central Plains in Chinese history, and the Ice Purgatory and the Lava Kingdom are the Northern Di and the Southern Barbarians. Whether it is the Lava Kingdom at that time or the Undead Race now, if you want to make a name for yourself in the demon world, you must first conquer the Wuyuan Land.
Judging from the situation at that time, the Lava Kingdom, which had a clear ruler and was relatively united, should have a great advantage when facing the Abyssless Land, which was almost a mess and each of them was governed by their own city-state system. This was also the case at the beginning of the war.
Compared with the Lava Kingdom with the Flame Demon Emperor, the Abyssless Land, which was ruled by Demon Castles, seemed extremely scattered. The army of the Lava Kingdom was unstoppable and conquered dozens of Demon Castles along the way. Most of the demons in the entire demon world once thought that the demon world was finally going to be unified once again.
But then, the remaining more than a hundred Demon Castles in the Abyssless Land united together at a speed that was faster than thunder and lightning. This was an army of more than a hundred epic-level powerhouses and more than a hundred Demon Castles. Even the Lava Kingdom was eclipsed by such a formation.
Although the Flame Demon Emperor reached the mythical level, the mythical level was not invincible. For example, didn't Nicholas the Great capsize in the gutter and was solved by the night elves almost without any loss?
In front of more than a hundred epic demon kings, the Flame Demon Emperor was no match for them. After several defeats, even the Flame Demon Emperor, who could not help but fight himself, was seriously injured by the siege of a large number of epic demon kings. The Lava Kingdom finally chose to withdraw.
After that, no demon thought about unifying the demon world. The Flame Demon Emperor has not appeared to this day. It is said that he was severely injured in that war and fell asleep in the lava for a long time without waking up.
Although Zhou Kang is an outsider, he has learned some history of the demon world through the system and the demons he once captured. Therefore, he is very troubled by the main task of the Black Castle. Although the undead are now strong, if the demon castles in the Abyss Land unite to fight, they will not be opponents at all.
Zhou Kang sighed slightly, feeling a little disappointed. What he can do now is to continue to accumulate strength, summon more heroes, and expand the army of the undead. With the system by his side, one day he will be able to accumulate enough strength to dominate the demon world.
That's right! Zhou Kang suddenly thought of something and pulled the system panel to another place.
Hero transformation - Crypt Lord. Progress: 83/100.
Ha, the transformation of the Crypt Lord is about to be completed! Zhou Kang was a little excited because the undead hero template will soon have one more.
Unlike Yu Fei's night elves, the process of summoning or making heroes for the undead is extremely troublesome, but it has great advantages.
If the Undead want to create a hero, they must first find a similar species to transform. This transformed hero will become the template for subsequent heroes of the same type.
For example, Duke Dracula was transformed by the Undead a year ago and became the template of the Dreadlord. Just because of the mission, Zhou Kang did not keep him in the Undead, and did not even completely control him, but fabricated a partnership relationship and released him.
The heroes of the Undead are not unique. In addition to the special template heroes, more heroes of the same type can be created in the Dark Altar in the future. It's just that there is a certain upper limit to this number of creations.
In the hero section of Zhou Kang's system interface, the current situation is as follows:
Lich: 15/15
Death Knight: 9/9
Dreadlord: 9/9
Illidan has not yet smashed the head of the lich, so the number of liches on Zhou Kang's panel has not decreased.
