Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 73: Journey to the West



Chapter 73: Journey to the West

The time halt was not over yet. Wei Huo was the only player in the world. Only he knew that the world had been transformed into a game world.

Wei Huo wanted to explain this to Wei Sha, but how should he do it?

Wei Sha had been born in this era. She did not know what online games were, what dungeons were, and what monsters were. She had never doubted her own birth or the world.

The same applied to the Wild Giant.

Wei Huo suddenly understood why the Wild Giant had cried over that essay. It must have realized something!

At times, Wei Huo wondered what would happen to the NPCs if they realized that they were just NPCs.

This was just like the gluttonous snake in the game. When Wei Huo had controlled it and made it charge toward the sun, had it resisted because it had autonomous awareness?

Wei Huo lifted his head and looked at the pitch-black sky. Snowflakes kept falling, and one of them landed on his face. He felt a chill go down his spine.

If this world was a one-on-one game and I was a character in this game that was controlled by the players, how would I discover it?

Wei Huo could not stop his train of thought right from the beginning. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it was. He realized that his journey was not a result of choices but a result of external factors.

If this world was a mobile game, the so-called God was just an NPC.

As Wei Huo was lost in his thoughts, a horrifying sound came from the snowy mountain. Two Epic-ranked creatures had launched an all-out attack. A collision between two imposing fields had occurred as a result.

Wei Huo did not feel a terrifying imposing aura as he attacked in his armor. However, Wei Sha and the rhinoceros hid in the camp and started trembling. Wei Huo frowned and told Wei Sha and the rhinoceros, “Take care of the Crawling Dragons. I’ll go and help the snowman!”

The Wild Giant and the Black Dragon were evenly matched, but the Black Dragon could fly and the snowman could not. Besides, the Black Dragon was more cunning than the snowman. If this continued, the snowman might lose!

Wei Huo had already chosen his quest. He had to help the snowman kill the Black Dragon, or he would fail the quest.

Wei Huo was wearing his power armor and moving at an extremely fast speed. He soon arrived at the battlefield where the snowman and the Black Dragon were fighting. He saw the two Epic-ranked warriors battling one another. Although Wei Huo could not feel the imposing presence of the two Epic-ranked warriors, he could see that all the snow surrounding him had evaporated. Cracks appeared on the ground as the surrounding stones were shattered.

This was an Epic-ranked battle.

One would not be able to participate unless one was wearing power armor, which could resist mental shocks.

Coincidentally, there was such a power armor in the cave.

This was a game world!

Wei Huo rushed toward the Black Dragon. A mini submachine gun popped up on the mecha in his right hand. The submachine gun emitted a ‘Da Da Da Da’ sound. The shape of the submachine gun looked like an Uzi. There was a total of 300 bullets in it.

Wei Huo studied it. If he had an Uzi, he could dismantle it for a UP9. The reason the weapon was so bulky was probably because it could carry a lot of ammunition.

Countless submachine gun bullets hit the Black Dragon’s scales, but they were useless and only created scratches.

When one’s soul level reached the Epic stage, one would have an imposing field. However, one’s Attack would not improve at all. The spirit was the spirit, the body was the body, and both of them had to be improved at the same time.

It was no wonder that the Black Dragon had the word ‘dragon’ on it. Its dragon scales were extremely tough. At the very least, a mini submachine gun’s bullet could not penetrate its defense. Wei Huo lifted his left hand and a sharp blade appeared. He lifted the blade and slashed at the Black Dragon, but to his surprise, the blade could not penetrate his defense either.

The Black Dragon laughed out loud. “Human weapons of this level can’t hurt me at all. Even if you cut me for 10,000 years, you won’t break my defense!”

Wei Huo whipped out the Rule Material Hunting Knife and stabbed it into the Black Dragon’s body. No matter how hard its scales were, it could not resist the horrifying hunting knife.

“Pft!” Blood splattered everywhere as the Black Dragon roared, “Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!”

The Black Dragon spread its wings and flapped them vigorously. A strong wind blew over, but it could not blow Wei Huo and the Wild Giant away. The dragon flapped its wings and flew into the sky. At that moment, the Wild Giant grabbed a huge stone and smashed it against the Black Dragon.

Unfortunately, the huge rock was already covered in cracks due to the imposing aura. After being thrown, it immediately scattered into countless pieces of gravel. Although some of the gravel hit the Black Dragon, its power had been greatly reduced.

The Black Dragon flew up into the sky and started cursing Wei Huo. “Why are you getting involved in a fair battle between us at the Epic stage? Are robots shameless?”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Fair battle? Say that again.

The Black Dragon looked at the hunting knife in Wei Huo’s hand, which was still covered in its blood. It was confused. What is that knife? How did it penetrate my scales so easily?

Upon seeing that the Black Dragon was not coming down, Wei Huo told the Wild Giant, “Snowman, throw me up!”

The Wild Giant was stunned for a moment before saying, “Aren’t you going to become a live target if I throw you up there? Also, why are your words so smooth?”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Don’t mind the details, this is an emergency!

Although the Wild Giant was confused, it still extended its hand. Wei Huo leaped onto the snowman’s palm. The snowman’s hand stiffened as it said, “You’re not big, but you’re quite heavy.”

Wei Huo asked, “What do you think? Can you throw me high enough that I’ll reach the Black Dragon?”

The Wild Giant hugged Wei Huo tightly and started gathering energy. As it gathered energy, it said, “No problem. It would be no problem even if you weighed three times as much!”

When it said that, the Wild Giant used its strength and hurled Wei Huo into the sky. Wei Huo suddenly felt a strong feeling as he was hurled into the sky toward the Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon smiled coldly. “Are you really throwing someone into the sky like a live target?”

It lifted its head and took a deep breath.

A moment later, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of dragon flames.

The dragon flames instantly engulfed Wei Huo. However, Wei Huo had already whipped out his Shadow Blade. In a moment, a light blue shield wrapped around Wei Huo, who rushed into the dragon’s mouth thanks to the momentum.

Crack! The Shadow Blade in Wei Huo’s hand shattered, but Wei Huo had already rushed into the dragon’s mouth. He then slipped through the Black Dragon’s throat while saying, “Have you read one of the Four Great Classics of Humans called Journey to the West?”
