Chapter 1296: The Tacit Understanding of Hunting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Wolf King’s boastful words made Meng Chao feel as if his words were stuck in his throat.
He kept feeling that this fellow had stolen his lines.
However, before he and the Wolf King could discuss in detail what a “brand new future” should look like, the roars of totem beasts rang out not far behind them.
They sounded like metal sc.r.a.ping against each other.
The rhythmic roars were obviously gathering their companions to deliver some kind of message.
Perhaps, they had already smelled the scent left behind by Meng Chao and the Wolf King, hence confirming the presence of the outsiders.
The expressions of the two of them changed at the same time.
They did not dare to delay. They stuck close to the slopes on both sides of the folds and ran wildly along the cracks in the earth.
However, because of the depths of the cracks in the earth, spiritual flames surged out all year round, and the slopes formed by the huge debris on both sides were naturally unstable.
From time to time, there would be debris cracking and sliding into the Earth’s cracks.
No matter how careful the two of them were, they would still be able to step on the surface of the slope that was on the verge of collapsing at lightning speed. However, the fragile debris on the inside would trigger a chain reaction.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Finally, it was unknown whether it was Meng Chao or the Wolf King, but when they jumped over a ravine, their movements became slightly larger.
The huge debris under their feet, which looked like blocks, suddenly collapsed as if it was an avalanche with a shocking momentum. Accompanied by a deafening sound, a large number of debris slid into the cracks on the ground, it caused colorful spiritual flames to gush out from the depths of the crack, emitting a roar that sounded like a raging wind.
Even Meng Chao and the Wolf King were almost swept up by the collapsed debris, and were swept into the bottomless crack on the ground together.
Such a shocking sound naturally attracted the totem beasts that were chasing closely behind.
Accompanied by a series of noisy howls, a large number of totem beasts surrounded them from both wings.
Meng Chao could even see that they were embedded in the metal skulls, with eyes that were like burning charcoal b.a.l.l.s.
This was also the only place where their bodies, which were perfectly covered in the metal exoskeleton, were exuding the aura of life.
The Wolf King pulled out the third ‘fireworks’.
“Xiu! Pa!”
The Spiritual Flames drew a dazzling arc and scattered the flowers in the distance.
However, the effect this time was far from as good as the previous two times.
The totem beasts had become smarter. They missed twice in a row, which made them realize the tricks played by humans.
Moreover, they were too close to each other. Many totem beasts’scarlet eyeb.a.l.l.s had already locked onto Meng Chao and the Wolf King.
Only three to five totem beasts chased after the fireworks.
The remaining thirty to fifty totem beasts were still leaping lightly on the high folds on both sides of the Earth’s crack, getting closer and closer to Meng Chao and the Wolf King.
Meng Chao cursed silently.
Change the time and place, let him take a comfortable hot bath first, sleep soundly for three days and three nights, then soak in the secret medicine for an afternoon. At the same time, let a few witch doctors and priests dance beside him, this would allow his physical strength and combat ability to recover to their peak.
He was absolutely not afraid of fighting these beasts for 300 rounds.
But at the moment, he had not recovered from the self-detonation of the strength angel and the heavy injuries caused by the battle with the Wolf King.
And beneath his feet was a bottomless crack in the Earth.
Around him were the remnants of a huge war machine that was on the verge of collapsing.
Behind him were the murderous Lion King and Tiger King.
In front of him was the sacred mountain temple that was full of traps and killing intent.
He really did not want to waste too much time and energy on these beasts at such a critical moment.
However, the Wolf King had already used up all his ‘fireworks’.
Meanwhile, more than ten totem beasts had already arrived above their heads at lightning speed. They leaped up from the huge wreckage and pounced towards the throats of the two of them.
Meng Chao could clearly see that on the totem beasts’metal exoskeletons, there were totem patterns that looked like offensive rune arrays that were flashing with a deadly aura.
The sharp blades that extended from the outside of their slender limbs were filled with the scent of death.
Meng Chao and Wolf King had no other choice.
In front of the two of them, there were two storm of blades.
When the totem beasts were caught in the storm, the metal exoskeletons immediately rubbed against their sharp blades at an extremely high speed. There were more than a hundred collisions every second. There was a scratching sound that caused one’s scalp to go numb, and there were dazzling sparks.
In the end, it was Meng Chao’s “Skull Crusher”and the wolf king’s “Six kill blade”that were better than the totem beast’s full metal exoskeleton.
The seemingly indestructible armor broke through the metal fatigue limit quickly after being struck more than a hundred times per second, and shocking cracks appeared.
Meng Chao’s battle flames and the Wolf King’s killing intent immediately seeped into the totem beast’s body through the cracks that were as thick as a strand of hair, accurately finding the weakness between the joints and tendons, just like a butcher dismembering a cow.., they chopped these beasts into pieces.
A moment ago, the totem beast that was still baring its fangs and brandishing its claws let out a mournful cry.
Like a puppet that had its strings cut, its slender and deformed limbs drooped down one after another. It couldn’t even stand properly, rolling down the slope into the cracks on the ground, turning into wisps of light flames that were struggling with their last breaths and dust that were torn into pieces.
However, just as Meng Chao had expected, the fierce battle between the two sides had also seriously affected the fragile balance between the giant remains. They leaned on each other and randomly pieced together.
When the remains of a super giant slaughter Angel was. .h.i.t by the totem beast that was shot out like a cannonball, it completely collapsed. After it collapsed with a loud bang, it was very easy to trigger a chain reaction, it caused dozens, hundreds of slaughter angels and giant totem battle armors that had a fossilized texture to collapse and shatter like an avalanche. They broke down into extremely fine particles, raising dust in the air.
These dust all originated from the most powerful magical tools and ultimate weapons from three thousand years ago.
On each dust particle, there was more or less some residual psionic energy, possessing extremely strong radioactivity.
When the psionic dust that was filled with radioactivity flew all over the sky, the spiritual magnetic environment on the battlefield became exceptionally complicated.
The psionic dust that flew all over the sky stained Meng Chao and the Wolf King’s totem armors, drilling into the mysterious and complicated patterns on the surface of the armors. Even when their armors were torn apart by the claws and teeth of the totem beasts, the liquid metal-like substance.., it was also damaged by the self-explosion of the strength angel earlier. There was no time to repair it, so the psionic dust seeped into the surface of their bodies and their bodies.
Their totem armors and even their flesh and blood bodies were immediately disturbed by the psionic dust. There were signs that their totem power was not functioning properly, that their minds were restless, that their blood was boiling, and that their nerves and electrical currents were in disorder.., there were even negative reactions such as hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.
If this continued, it would not be a solution.
Since they could not shake off these d.a.m.ned ‘tails’, they could only end the battle as quickly as possible. They would rather sacrifice their lives to get rid of them all!
Meng Chao and the Wolf King looked at each other.
Through the expressionless masks of the totem armors, they saw each other’s incomparably sharp gazes.
They were rushing left and right in the fossil forest, looking for a suitable trap or a battlefield for the final battle.
The remaining thirty to forty totem beasts were not scared at all because their companions were killed by the blade storm and fell into the cracks of the earth, turning into ashes. They would not retreat easily.
For three thousand years, their race had always lived in this ancient battlefield that was full of psionic storms and the aura of destruction.
They were still in the embryonic stage, but they had already absorbed an excessive amount of battle flames and killing intent. The entire metal exoskeleton was also a killing machine that was made of flesh and blood, but had no emotions.
Since they had decided to fight to the death.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King deliberately slowed down.
Occasionally, they would even pretend to be chaotic and exhausted, letting one or two totem beasts narrowly pa.s.s by them, and even leaving a few harmless cracks on their totem armor.
They used this method to gradually stir up the excitement of the totem beasts and make these beasts misjudge their strength.
As expected, the formation of the totem beasts, which was originally neat, gradually became messy.
Many totem beasts were desperate to chase after their prey and ran wildly. Several times, they almost stepped on the huge wreckage under their feet and fell into the cracks on the ground.
There were even a few totem beasts who wanted to seize the most suitable terrain to pounce on and fiercely collided with each other. They bared their teeth at their companions and let out threatening roars.
Beasts were beasts after all.
Their brains were completely ignited by the desire to kill. The totem beasts lost the ability to think and were gradually led by the nose by Meng Chao and the Wolf King.
Another horizontal crack appeared in front of them.
One horizontal crack and one vertical crack, like a huge cross, crisscrossed together. The intersection point was like an abyss that led straight to the core of the Earth, emitting an ominous aura.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King seemed to have been tripped by the wreckage under their feet and staggered at the same time.
They were pounced onto the ground by the two totem beasts and rolled more than ten times in a row, almost rolling into the cracks in the earth. It took them a lot of effort to kick the two totem beasts away, but the remaining totem beasts were only twenty to thirty meters away from them.
This was a distance that could be torn apart with a wave of their claws.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King seemed to be in a panic. They jumped up high without caring about anything, trying to jump over the abyss.
The Abyss was not more than twenty to thirty meters wide. To them, it was just a ditch that they could cross with a lift of their feet.
However, it was unknown whether it was because they had consumed too much of their physical strength in the battle just now.
Or was it because the invisible psionic storm that blew out of the Abyss had seriously interfered with their life magnetic field and motor nerves.
The two of them danced clumsily in midair. Fortunately, they did not cross the abyss. After drawing two short and weak arcs, the two of them slammed on the slope on the other side of the abyss.
The huge debris that formed the slope immediately began to collapse.
Countless debris crashed onto the two of them like Rolling Stones.
The two of them scrambled to dodge and climb. Several times, they almost fell into the abyss. The scene was extremely embarra.s.sing.
Seeing this scene, the totem beasts could no longer suppress their boiling killing intent. They jumped high like cannonb.a.l.l.s and drew sharp arcs in the air above the abyss, pouncing towards the two “Prey”.
Just as the thirty to forty totem beasts all rose into the air and flew above the abyss.
In the eyes of the two “Prey”, a light that only belonged to the “Hunter”bloomed at the same time.
“Now!”
