As the eggs of apocalypse gradually matured, a lot of colorful air currents spurted out of the enormous meteorite. The air currents entangled with each other and grew to the sky in a helical shape. They swallowed the clouds one after another and formed a swirl of colorful smoke.
The residents of Iron Plateau called such a phenomenon 'apocalyptic cloud'.
When the apocalyptic cloud appeared, it meant that the eggs of apocalypse would break out in several days.
The mature egg of apocalypse this time was located in the southwest of the Furious Bears Tribe. When the weather was clear, it could be seen from the skyscrapers of the Furious Bears Tribe that there was a small apocalypse cloud in the northwest sky. It was surrounded by colorful spiral arms, but in the middle was a bottomless darkness. Like a weird eye, it stared at the ground without blinking.
A month ago, Furious Bears City had been seething like a heated steel factory.
Now that the apocalypse was close at hand, the entire city had quietened down. Like a warrior sharpening his saber in the darkness, all the nervousness, excitement, fear, and expectation turned into monotonous, boring noises of the blade rubbing against the whetstone again and again.
In the arsenal, the refiners and workers who had been working at a high intensity for months were all snoring.
They had finally forged a batch of brand-new magical equipment before the eggs of apocalypse matured.
The sonic sword of the latest model had been redesigned with the distribution of spiritual gas circulation and discharge. When the spiritual gas was activated, it could slightly vibrate the blade of the sword at a very high frequency and increase the damage.
On the two sides of the main nozzles, more than ten auxiliary nozzles had been added to spurt spiritual gas to the two sides and push the sword toward the center. It was like an invisible track to ensure that the trajectory of the sword would be more precise and stable.
The Wolf Fangs of the latest model, on the other hand, had been carved with seven new attack rune arrays on the inner wall, which reduced the cost of crystals and significantly improved the power of the weapons. They also boasted a unique time-delay detonation system that could be manipulated with telepathic thoughts. With a telepathic thought, more than ten Wolf Fangs could be detonated at the same time.
The elite members of the Fierce Storm Assault Team and the Iron Bears Detonation Team loved the two brand-new pieces of equipment very much. They immersed themselves in the test field attached to the arsenal day and night. They familiarized themselves with the performance of the new magical equipment.
Today was the last day of the test.
Tomorrow, the warriors of the Furious Bears Tribe would march into the desert for the final battle of the apocalypse.
In the test field, almost all the members of the Fierce Storm Assault Team and the Iron Bears Detonation Team were gathered there.
There were hundreds of elites on both sides. All of them were experts above the 40th level of the Refinement Stage. Although there were not many of them, their murderous auras were like two iron armies, almost tearing the entire test field in half.
The two parties confronted each other in silence, but the last test of the confrontation didn't begin until whispers broke out in the crowd. Xiong Wuji showed up on one side of the test field.
"Warriors of the Raging Bear Tribe!"
Xiong Wuji's voice was not loud, but his every word swept into everyone's ears like a whirlwind. "Tomorrow is the day we set off. The day of the final battle is the day of the heavenly tribulation, and today is the final test of resistance. "
"The purpose of the confrontation test is, on the one hand, to let you know more about the magical equipment in your hands. On the other hand, it is to let you know more about your comrades and the brothers who are fighting beside you."
"It's precisely because we've understood the strength of our opponents through these tests that Fierce Wind can trust Iron Bear with the ground, and Iron Bear can trust Fierce Wind with the sky."
"So. Today, there was another warrior who would participate in the confrontational test. What was originally a two-sided confrontation would become a three-sided confrontation. The rules were still the same. Each of the three parties has its own base. As long as you bring the flag at the center of the test field back to your base, you will be considered the winner.
"Because of the lack of time, this warrior didn't have the time to train with you on the desert. He is not familiar with your battle formations. Therefore, I don't plan to include him in the team. Instead, he will roam in the periphery and hunt freely.
"But I think it's necessary for you to get to know this warrior. Through today's test, we will know whether or not you can trust him to stand next to you in the final battle to come."
Xiong Wuji's words raised a commotion.
In the final battle, most people would form battle formations and kill each other in battle formations.
However, there were also a small number of experts who wandered outside of the battle formation and began to hunt freely.
Perhaps it was because they were too strong and couldn't unleash their greatest destructive power in the battle formation, or perhaps it was because they had some kind of special ability, such as a large-scale attack that didn't distinguish between friend and foe, which would hurt their comrades in the battle formation.
Although they were hunting freely, their targets were mostly the strongest apocalyptic beasts in the apocalypse. The experts who were hunting freely would lunge at the most dangerous place.
Only the strongest, most experienced, and most experienced senior warriors in the tribe were qualified to carry out free hunting.
But they had met all the experts in the Furious Bears Tribe and cooperated well with each other. Was there any need to familiarize themselves with each other through tests?
While everybody was confused, a man who was not tall slowly appeared from the darkness.
"It's him."
In the Iron Bears Detonation Team, Wei Changsheng gasped. His right hand was shivering beyond his control.
"It's him?"
Xiong Zhenzhen, captain of the Fierce Storm Assault Team, was more or less confused. She frowned and looked at Xiong Wuji in dissatisfaction.
"You may call him Sand Scorpion."
Xiong Wuji said, "Maybe you don't know him very well yet, but trust me, after the test is over, he will certainly leave a deep impression on you."
More than four hundred sharp eyes darted toward 'Sand Scorpion' like four hundred sharp arrows that were spurting spiritual gas, only to be blocked by the weirdly shaped armor on his body.
It was a bright gray armor that was based on the jet armor of the Fierce Storm Assault Team. However, it had been modified beyond recognition and even crazily.
The armor that was embedded with rings was in the shape of an arc, without the slightest sharp edge. Based on the principles of bionics, it had absorbed the features of a lot of insects and arthropods. At first glance, it looked like a giant scorpion that was standing on its feet. The folded wings on its back that were as thin as cicada's wings and connected by tens of thousands of translucent metal plates made it look like an enormous dragonfly.
Twenty True Qi balloons were densely arranged on the shoulder and the back of the armor. Every True Qi balloon was slightly smaller than common True Qi balloons, but glamorous spiritual stripes had been carved on them. An enormous two-handed greatsword more than two and a half meters long was tied to his waist. The body of the sword was riddled with nozzles that were arranged in a messy way, but they had a weird sense of beauty.
It was not hard to imagine that when the messy nozzles spurted out spiritual gas at the same time, the trajectory of the greatsword would be unpredictable and unpredictable.
Chi … Chi … Chi …
As he slowly walked toward the crowd, white True Qi constantly leaked out from the seams of the armor. It was as if the armor was a living giant dragon that was constantly breathing out.
Occasionally, when the white fog dispersed, they would see a pair of ordinary eyes. However, if they looked at him for more than three seconds, they would discover the thirst and hunger in his eyes, as if two vipers that had just come out of hibernation were hiding in the deepest part of his pupils, and they could not wait to start a massacre.
Xiong Wuji patted Li Yao's shoulder softly and asked, "Are you ready?"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and nodded. The two vipers deep inside his pupils vanished instantly.
Since he had basically finished his training five days ago, he had devoted himself to the modification of the armor.
For a magical equipment maniac like him, not wearing a suit in a battle was as uncomfortable as not wearing clothes on the street.
He had adopted a jet suit of the Fierce Storm Assault Team as the foundation and integrated a lot of features of the Iron Shield Suit. During the modification, he had also added some design concepts from the Crystal Suit.
Normal jet suits had more than thirty nozzles to make it easier for the qi-trainers to change their direction in midair.
But on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, there were more than fifty main power rune arrays and a hundred ancillary power rune arrays.
As an experienced Exo, Li Yao was much better at changing directions in midair than the other qi-trainers.
Therefore, the armor that he had modified had sixty-one nozzles. Together with the newly-designed gliders, it would definitely be able to perform unimaginable changes and sprints in midair.
Li Yao was very satisfied with the armor. Its utilization and enhancement of spiritual gas had reached the peak.
While he was refining the armor, Li Yao had a lot of marvelous inspirations in his head, too. He had accumulated a lot of valuable experience in refining the first Crystal Suit in the future.
He had named the True Qi armor 'Scorpion'.
Today was also the first real-life test of the Scorpion Battlesuit.
Xiong Wuji glanced at the crowd and said, "The Scorpion Battlesuit is also a design that I found a month ago when I was exploring the underground relics. But because many of the components have to be crafted by hand, the production rate is very low. So far, only one of them has been produced. Not everyone can equip it for now.
"Besides, the usage of the Scorpion Battlesuit requires certain unique skills. Not everybody is qualified to use it.
Xiong Wuji's words infuriated everyone.
What did he mean? The usage of the Scorpion Battlesuit requires certain unique skills? Did he mean that none of them were qualified to use it?
Everybody glared at Li Yao.
Of the Fierce Storm Assault Team, those who had seen Li Yao's' weak legs' under the Wolf Fangs were even more disdainful.
On the Iron Bears Detonation Team's side, Wei Changsheng found Shi Meng, the captain, in secret. "Captain, it's him."
Shi Meng had already put on a full set of Iron Shield Armor. He was like a moving fortress. The eyes in the gaps of the facial armor were glittering, like two cannons protruding out of the shooting holes, locking onto Li Yao firmly.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
"Today, let me see how vicious this Sand Scorpion is."
"Let the test begin."
