The actual combat test field was one kilometer in length and width. It was covered with rocks, grasses, streams, swamps, and trenches. It was a typical jungle terrain with a very complex environment.
On both sides of the battlefield, a few hundred meters apart, two monster-level warbeasts were motionlessly confronting each other.
Both sides had filled their crystal stones and activated their array glyphs to the limit, emitting a faint aura.
Even the floating particles of spiritual energy in the air were attracted, forming a vague halo around the two parties.
The Wolf King was unscathed in the previous test. Under the light green halo, it looked like a crystal clear jade sculpture, adding a bit of arrogance to it.
Although the Tarantula was also unharmed, its armor had been corroded by the acid, leaving behind hideous scars, making it look fierce and ruthless.
All the spectators were intimidated by the incomparably powerful aura emitted by the two warbeasts. It was as if they were watching the fight between two real demon beasts. Each and every one of them shrunk their necks and stared intently. Even the sound of discussion was suppressed to the minimum.
"The two warbeasts seem to be full of aura. Who do you think will win and who will lose?"
"I am still optimistic about the Tarantula. It has a large body, fierce firepower, strong defense, and carries a lot of crystal stones. As long as it hits the Wolf King, it will explode!"
"But it still needs to hit the target!"
"The Wolf King is fast and responsive. Although its long-range firepower is a bit weaker than the Tarantula, its close combat ability is not bad at all. Moreover, its structure is mature and all aspects are very balanced. It is not like the Tarantula, which is head-heavy and light-footed like a pony pulling a cart. It is simply a lame giant!"
"I dare say that unless the Tarantula is lucky and kills the Wolf King from a long distance, once it gets close, the Wolf King will definitely be able to use its super speed and agility. Exhaust it to death! "
Everyone stuck to their own opinions and did not give way to each other.
While they were quarreling, they suddenly heard another thirty years old examinee sneer:
"You have only considered external factors, but you have never thought that tactics are the most important!"
"The Mystic Wolf has been around for more than thirty years and has been in countless battles. It has already summed up hundreds and thousands of classic tactics, all of which are stored in the crystal processor. It is equivalent to thousands of powerful 'unique skills'! "
"As for the Tarantula modified by Li Yao, its structure and combat mode have undergone great changes. Most of its' unique skills' cannot be used."
"Even if he can temporarily design some new tactics according to the structural characteristics of the Tarantula, their complexity and effectiveness cannot be compared to the original classic tactics."
"Therefore, in this match. The Wolf King will win, the Tarantula will lose
"Fortunately, the Wolf King of Tarantula. As long as it is a tie, everyone will be happy!"
The senior examinee's words made everyone come to a realization and they nodded repeatedly.
At this moment. A deafening explosion rang out in the field of the actual combat test.
The two Warbeasts crazily unleashed their firepower as they rapidly approached each other.
Rocks flew everywhere. The swamp was steaming, and the spirit energy in the air was twisting like a dispersing fog.
From the very first second, the battle Mystic Mystic Mystic wolf Mystic
The Wolf King performed a series of dazzling dodges, dodging all the dozens of crystal railguns.
The Tarantula did not dodge at all. A thick, ink-like spiritual shield appeared in front of it. He forcefully withstood all the attacks without stopping.
The closer the two sides got, the fiercer the firepower. Occasionally, the dense artillery fire would collide in mid-air, creating dazzling balls of light. Then, they turned into colorful tides of spiritual energy and scorching blasts that tore apart the air and spread out to hundreds of meters away, turning the battlefield into a dreamlike scene.
The silhouettes of the two warbeasts also became sometimes clear and sometimes hazy, as unpredictable as ghosts.
A few seconds later, the distance between the two beasts was less than fifty meters.
At this distance, long-range firepower was no longer important. Melee combat would become the key to victory.
"Tarantula is going to suffer."
Many of the sharp-eyed examinees thought of this, and some of them sighed in their hearts. "Student Li Yao's modification skills are top-notch, but he seems to have made some mistakes in his choice of battle tactics!"
"The Tarantula's advantage lies in its firepower, so of course it's best to maintain a distance. Everyone, circle from afar and shoot at each other!"
"Now that the Wolf King has closed in on us, once we engage in close combat, we will definitely be slowly ground to death by the Wolf King's speed and agility!"
In the blink of an eye — —
The Wolf King's speed suddenly increased. It turned into a cyan stream of light and narrowly dodged seven or eight crystal railgun shots. It jumped twice and actually arrived behind the Tarantula!
The Tarantula desperately turned around. The turret on its back also rotated 360 degrees and opened fire.
However, the eight-legged design was not conducive to rotating in place, and the turret at such a close distance also had an attack blind spot.
The Wolf King had been hiding in the blind spot. It shrunk its neck and several crystal railgun shots brushed past its head.
"It's over!"
Many examinees exclaimed.
The side of Deep Sea University was even more jubilant.
Whether it was a warbeast or a crystal tank, the rear was always the most vulnerable part.
Jiang Shaoyang's Wolf King very keenly grasped the fatal weakness of the Tarantula and launched a fatal attack from the rear!
"Whoosh!"
The Wolf King leaped. Its claws and teeth vibrated at high speed. Its destructive power was raised to the limit.
"Puff!"
Below the Tarantula's abdomen, a light yellow liquid suddenly shot out. Wisps of white gas appeared in the air.
The crystal eyes of the Wolf King instantly shrunk to the size of two pinholes. It dodged again and again, but in the end, there was no place to borrow strength from in midair. Although it dodged a large number of attacks, it was still hit by a small amount of liquid. Suddenly, an ear-piercing "Chi Chi" sound was heard. Yellow smoke soared into the sky. Its shell was instantly corroded and was riddled with holes.
The noble and proud Wolf King suddenly turned into a mottled mangy dog.
"This is — —"
Everyone was shocked. They looked at Li Yao, dumbstruck.
Jiang Shaoyang was as if he was struck by lightning. He was unable to recover for a long time.
The Wolf King rolled on the ground and fled more than ten meters away in panic.
Although its vital parts were not injured, its prestige was completely swept away. It was still in a state of panic and did not dare to approach the Tarantula's rear again.
"Student Li Yao, what, what is that!?"
A Star Nebula University examinee plucked up his courage and asked.
"Venom."
Li Yao answered as if it was a matter of course, "Since this warbeast was modified according to the Tarantula's form. Isn't it normal to have some venom? "
This answer caused everyone to fall into a state of collapse. Everyone could not figure it out.
"But, where did you get the venom? Or should I say, such a highly corrosive acid?"
In the maintenance workshop. All the weapons were compatible with the Mystic Wolf. They did not remember the existence of such a highly corrosive acid!
"I synthesized it myself."
Li Yao explained, "Do you remember that there were two kinds of materials in the warehouse, Flaming Spotted Rock and Porous Lanthanum, and the cooling liquid of the crafting furnace contained Thousand Star Liquid and Flying Frost Liquid?"
"The properties of these four materials are very stable. They are neither poisonous nor corrosive."
"But, as long as the Flaming Spotted Rock and Porous Lanthanum are ground into powder and mixed according to a certain ratio. Add it into a mixture of Thousand Star Liquid and Flying Frost Liquid and heat it to between 175 degrees and 216 degrees. When it comes into contact with the air, it will show a very strong corrosiveness. "
"This is a formula that I accidentally saw in an ancient scroll. In fact, it is not very useful because the cost-performance ratio is not high. These materials are quite expensive. Now, we can completely synthesize cheaper acid."
"What? Why did you do that? "
"Isn't it simple? The Tarantula that I modified is slow. It is heavy, especially when it is not flexible. The enemy's first choice is definitely to go around and hit it from behind! "
"Of course, I have to set a trap at the rear."
"Behind the Tarantula, the abdomen was modified with a cooling pool and filled with acid. Unfortunately, Jiang Shaoyang's Wolf King was too fast and actually dodged it. If it was half a second later, all the acid would have been sprayed out and the battle would have been over in an instant. Sigh! "
Li Yao was somewhat regretful.
Everyone's heart trembled when they heard it.
Jiang Shaoyang, who was eavesdropping on the side, was even more drenched in cold sweat. He was secretly relieved.
The situation on the field, however, had a new change.
After suffering a loss, the Wolf King lay dormant in the grass and no longer opened fire. It easily dodged dozens of crystal railgun shots. While consuming the opponent's crystal stones, it also observed the opponent's movements.
Suddenly, it jumped and the crystal railgun on both sides of its body bounced off.
It actually gave up its long-range firepower and was ready to play with its life!
Without the burden of the crystal railgun, the Wolf King's speed increased to another level. Like a green whirlwind, it quickly ran circles around the Tarantula.
The Tarantula was somewhat at a loss. The crystal railgun turret spun rapidly like a fan and fired again and again, but it could only shatter a green afterimage.
Even though the acid was continuously spat out, it had little effect on the Wolf King, who was already on guard.
His eight slender legs became a kind of burden, making him feel rather flustered, bumping into each other from time to time.
"This is a tactical flaw."
Several examinees whispered to each other, "The Tarantula's tactical setting is too simple. It did not consider this kind of circling tactic. It can only be led by the nose by the opponent."
"However, this is not Li Yao's problem. After all, the time was too short. How could he have set up all the tactics? It's not the fault of the battle, it's not the fault of the battle! "
"Look, the Wolf King has launched its second wave of attack!"
With a flash of green light, the Wolf King took advantage of the fact that the Tarantula was dizzy and staggered. It jumped high and pounced on the Tarantula's back!
The Tarantula's back was not only the blind spot of the crystal railgun, but also the blind spot of the acid. It was also an absolute blind spot that the eight legs could not reach!
After dismantling the crystal railgun, the Wolf King could follow the wound and, like a hot knife through butter, directly attack the core!
"Jump! Jump! "
"Block it! Block it! "
Countless examinees clenched their palms until they were sweating.
The Wolf King's first effort failed. The Tarantula waved its legs in a timely manner and sealed off its attack path.
However, the Wolf King was not impatient. It continued to use the circling tactic. As it circled around the Tarantula, it slowly lured it towards the stream.
The stream was covered with pebbles, wet and slippery.
The Tarantula fell into the trap.
After three consecutive failures, the Tarantula was finally lured to the edge of the stream. Its legs slipped on the pebbles and staggered, exposing a huge gap.
