Chapter 1004: A Full-Scale Battle
The impact was as strong as a railway gun against the wall of an underground pipe.
With a deafening boom, a hole with a diameter and depth of more than three meters was left on the wall.
One had to know that the underground sewer system in this area had been in disrepair for a long time. It was full of potholes and collapsed everywhere. It was as fragile as a beehive that had been magnified a hundred times.
Otherwise, it would not have been abandoned by the bigwigs of Black-corner City.
More than a hundred wild boar warriors and bullhead warriors were fighting here, which made the already precarious structure even worse.
Meng Chao’s collision became the last straw that broke the camel’s back.
No, it was not a straw, but the mountain that broke the camel’s back.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack
The impact triggered a chain reaction. New crevices kept appearing around the crater-like holes. The old crevices were expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and more dust and gravel were spurting out of them.
In just a few seconds, a series of loud noises were heard. The ground within a hundred meters collapsed, forming a huge pit that was at least seven or eight meters deep.
Dozens of warriors of the clan who were fighting on the ground suddenly fell into the pit.
Although they were tough and tough, they would not die easily from falling or being smashed to death.
However, when the ground collapsed, the smoke and dust in the air were still like clouds of turbid mist that blocked their vision.
The Tauren warriors and wild boar warriors who were struggling in the ruins in the dense mist could not see their companions clearly for a moment.
It was even difficult to hear the screams and moans coming from a place so close to them from the chaotic situation.
This was the ideal hunting ground that Meng Chao had taken the initiative to create.
He was already prepared. The moment the ground collapsed, he stepped on a few pieces of broken rocks and jumped above the ruins.
He locked onto his first “Prey”, a wild boar warrior with a totem armor on his chest and left shoulder.
This wild boar warrior had just struggled out of the ruins.
Although he didn’t suffer much damage.
His dusty face made him extremely unhappy.
With a low roar, he was about to tear through the fog and rush out of the pit to find a new opponent.
Meng Chao was already like a ghost, appearing from the void and cutting into his arms.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!
Meng Chao’s arms turned into two storms.
In an instant, he punched over a hundred times at the chest of the wild boar warrior.
The chest of the wild boar warrior, which was extremely strong, was like a pond that had been invaded by a storm. The ripples overlapped with each other and sank deeply.
Even though the wild boar warrior’s skin and flesh were extremely thick…
He was unable to withstand or even react to Meng Chao’s torrential attacks.
His ma.s.sive body, which weighed more than half a ton, was blasted high into the air by Meng Chao.
When he landed on the ground, he had already pa.s.sed out cleanly.
And when Meng Chao spread out his five fingers and grabbed towards his breastplate and shoulder armor…
His totem battle armor was actually like Big Buck’s totem battle armor a few days ago, voluntarily disintegrating and disintegrating.
It was as if he despised his master’s weakness, and could not wait to throw himself into the arms of a stronger person.
“Such power…”
Meng Chao’s attention was not on the wild boar warrior at all.
At his peak, he was, after all, a warrior whose combat strength was comparable to the peak of the heavenly state. In some fields, he even had the hope of peering into the mysteries of the divine state. It was only higher than Ice Storm who was equipped with the Mithril Ripper.
This ordinary warrior who was only equipped with half a set of breastplate and a shoulder guard was not his “prey.” Rather, it was more like a “target” to help him test the performance and control mode of the totem armor, it was even more appropriate.
“Under the enhancement of the totem armor, my fist speed seems to have increased by at least 20%!
“Originally, when I was at the peak of the Earth realm, under the condition that the average fist strength was close to a ton, I could throw about 85 to 87 punches a minute.
“But now, I can throw 108 to 110 punches.
“Moreover, through the liquid metal, I can slightly adjust the vibration and expansion of my muscle fibers. It seems that I have saved 5% of my physical strength. This means that after equipping the totem armor, my endurance battle time has also been slightly extended.”
Meng Chao accurately calculated the amplification data of the totem armor.
He was preparing for the blood battles that would definitely appear in the near future.
However, the enhancement on his body was secondary.
He was more interested in the AI that was hiding in the totem armor when he threw out the storm-like iron fists. It once again transformed into the appearance of the previous owners of the armor, cheering and cheering for him.
Close drumbeats, majestic horns, the rumbling of iron hooves and the roaring of flames appeared beside his ears, making him feel as if he was on a magnificent and hot-blooded battlefield.
The shouts of the warriors and the sounds of weapons clashing were almost like a rock music from h.e.l.l, igniting his auditory nerves.
Naturally, a large number of illusions appeared before his eyes.
Every time he threw a punch at the wild boar warrior.
At the moment when the Iron Fist collided with the opponent’s flesh and blood.
At the point of collision, there would always be a burst of colorful and extremely dazzling sparks.
Some of the punches. .h.i.t the vital points, or had not yet adapted to the amplification effect of the totem armor. When the force of the punches exceeded a ton, the sparks would turn into rings of light.
There were even radiation-like ripples on the periphery of the light rings.
It had to be said that when Meng Chao unleashed his torrential rain of attacks, within ten seconds, dozens of consecutive punches, the Sparks and the light rings intersected. It was as if a small fireworks party had been held on the chest of a wild boar warrior, the sound and light effects were really gorgeous to the extreme.
The problem was that Meng Chao knew very well that he had not recovered from his serious injuries. Even with the enhancement of the totem armor, his combat strength would not exceed the heavenly state.
He had not yet reached the level where spiritual flames shot out and sparks spurted out.
Moreover, he had always been a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, simple and unadorned, low-key, and ordinary.
Since he and this wild boar warrior did not have an irreconcilable feud, naturally, they did not have an ingrained killing intent. When they attacked, they still held back.
Why would they deliberately play tricks and create so many useless sound, light, and electricity effects when they attacked?
Therefore —
“It’s a special effect.
“The totem armor acted on its own initiative and interfered with my visual and auditory nerves, adding a large number of battle special effects.
“Whether it was the ear-splitting ‘battlefield rock music’ or the more dazzling special effects that exploded after every punch, both of them greatly enhanced the immersion and the exhilaration of the battle.
“For someone like me who has been through hundreds of battles, it doesn’t matter if I’ve eaten the experienced experts that I’ve seen before.
“If I grew up in a remote village, or even if I was a warrior of the ordinary clans in Black-corner City, as long as I wore the totem armor, I would be accompanied by pa.s.sionate rock music during the battle. Moreover, I would be able to ‘see’ my ordinary punch and produce the most exaggerated special effects. I would definitely be addicted to it!
“No wonder the advanced orcs are so keen on battle.
“Perhaps, in the eyes of the advanced orcs who are equipped with totem armor, the so-called battle is just like… a video game!”
Meng Chao had just thought of a ‘video game’.
He saw countless glittering spots of light emerging from the unconscious wild boar warrior. Like fireflies that had no physical body, they circled around him a few times and quickly drilled into his body.
A series of crisp and melodious jingling sounds suddenly rang in his ears.
It was like a collision between crystals and a handful of gold coins.
Two huge cuneiform characters appeared in front of his eyes.
Although he could not understand them, he could guess from the rather exaggerated flowing lights around the characters that this was the totem armor celebrating his first victory”, or to use a more professional term, “first kill.”
Including the golden light spots, they condensed into a series of rapidly flashing, jumping, and changing cuneiform characters in front of Meng Chao’s eyes.
These cuneiform characters often appeared in the torrent of information presented by the totem armor, and they often changed.
Meng Chao boldly speculated that these should be the numbers of the ancient Turan civilization.
Did this string of numbers represent some sort of integral?
Meng Chao was very sure that he did not sense any psionic ripples on the golden speck of light that had just crawled out of the wild boar warrior’s body and crawled into his own body.
In other words, this golden speck of light was neither a real substance nor some kind of particle or ripple.
It was merely an illusion created by the totem armor to enhance the pleasure of ‘defeating the enemy’.
Meng Chao naturally wouldn’t be fooled by such petty tricks.
But…
“The so-called totem power is indeed hiding a huge secret. The water is too deep. Ordinary orcs can’t grasp it at all!”
Meng Chao finally understood why advanced orcs were so aggressive and looked down on death.
It turned out that under the stimulation of the totem armor, they really treated battle as a video game.
Perhaps, they even thought that even if their flesh and blood bodies were turned into meat paste on the battlefield, their brave and fearless souls would enter the totem battle armor under the protection of the ancestral spirit and fight forever!
Speaking of which, even though the special effects were all fake.
But the boost effect of the totem battle armor on combat strength was awesome.
Without hesitation, Meng Chao tore off half of the wild boar warrior’s chest armor and the left shoulder guard.
Then, taking advantage of the fact that the smoke and dust were still filling the air, he took off the belt of the wild boar warrior’s pants.
As expected, the wild boar warrior was tanned with cow leather, which was as wide as a palm. On the belt that was studded with rivets, there were two secret medicines to replenish energy, and three pieces of high-energy food that were mixed with a large amount of condensed milk, honey, and golden fruit puree, it was a high-energy food that had been compressed and dried repeatedly.
This was what ice storm had told him.
This was because fighting in totem armor consumed a lot of physical strength and spiritual energy.
Once the killing was on the rise and the spirit energy was overdrawn, the hungry totem armor could devour its master’s flesh and blood at any time, turning its master into an Origin Warrior or Origin Spirit.
Therefore, the experienced warriors of the clan would always carry a few secret medicines and a large amount of high-energy food with them.
When they felt that the totem armor was about to lose control, they would immediately take it to stabilize the totem power.
It was almost the same as the measures taken by the superhumans of Dragon City to prevent spirit energy deviation.
Meng Chao thought of something.
The lower half of the mask that protected his mouth and nose suddenly separated from the middle and merged into the helmets on both sides.
He drank the secret medicine in one gulp.
Then, his mouth grew to the extent that his jaw was almost dislocated, and he swallowed three large pieces of high-energy food with a strong fragrance.
Ever since he fell into the super waterfall, Guillotine, his stomach, which had not been full, let out a satisfied squirming sound.
Sensing waves of magma-like heat flow from his stomach to his limbs and bones, Meng Chao finally pressed the two totem armor fragments he had just captured onto his chest.
