In the battle against the apocalypse, Sha Yulan had come to the frontline, too. She examined Li Yao's wounds as soon as possible, only to discover that he was merely exhausted and had not been hurt. She immediately took out the secret medicines made of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to recover his strength.
Li Yao and Wu Mayan climbed onto a temporary watchtower together. They were recovering their physical strength while they observed the situation.
The calamity-level beast was surrounded by dozens of experts, including the chiefs of quite a few tribes. Fireballs and blasts were raining down nonstop, almost covering the calamity-level beast in a shell that was enshrouded in smoke!
However, the calamity-level beast was extremely tricky to deal with. It boasted a high flying ability in the first place, and there was a certain kind of spurting organ inside its body. When it opened its wings, it would spurt out air currents behind its back, and its speed would be close to the speed of sound. It was almost impossible to lock onto its location.
Its shell was also oily and slippery, with a curvature. Any attack that hit the shell would slide away.
There were also quite a few experts who tried to jump onto its back, but they were all thrown off by its bumpy movements.
The calamity-level apocalyptic beasts launched mental attacks with their antennae, which pierced through the qi-trainers' brains directly. They also spurted out self-detonating black beetles from their mouthparts, igniting clusters of eccentric fire that could hardly be extinguished once they were touched. Also, with their enormous body size and unbelievably high speed, the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts swooped down again and again, knocking over a few heavy tanks and war machines with every dash. Many low-level qi-trainers were ripped apart by the shockwaves when they passed by, and some of them were even torn apart into pieces!
After dozens of rounds of battle, casualties began to appear among the experts, too. Cracks finally appeared on the shell of the calamity-level beast, but it was even more intimidating and crazier than before!
"The one who is riding a white eagle. The woman who is tied up by two golden serpents is Lan Yi, the best expert of the younger generation of the Feathered Snakes Tribe!
"The one who resisted the collision of the calamity-level beast with two giant axes is Guan Hao, the best expert of the younger generation of the Giant Axe Tribe!
"The one who almost cut off one of the calamity-level beast's antennae is Yan Chifeng, the young expert of the Burning Sun Tribe who rose to fame recently. He seems to be Yan Chihuo's elder brother, but the guy is a cultivation maniac. He never cares about what happens in the outside world. Last time, the three tribes gathered in Furious Bears City. He didn't show up, so I don't have any grudges with him! "
Wu Mayan's eyes sparkled as he pointed at the battlefield and explained to Li Yao.
He was determined to be the strongest expert on Iron Plateau and compete with the experts of other tribes. Especially the data of the young experts, he usually paid great attention to analyzing and grasping them.
"This guy who is carrying a gun from head to toe and even has a gun in his pants is Gao Lang from the Heavenly Wolf Tribe! And this guy in fancy clothes with nine swords on his back is Wenren Xiao from the Silver Moon Tribe. He is also an expert above the eightieth level of the Refinement Stage!
"The five of them, together with Shi Meng and Xiong Zhenzhen of the Furious Bears Tribe, make up the younger generation of the six tribes of Iron Plateau. The most distinguished seven of them. But now, I'm afraid that Uncle Sand Scorpion has to be included too! That was not right. In my opinion, Uncle Sand Scorpion, you are better than any of them! "
The greatest advantage of the path of cultivation that Qi Practitioners walked was that it was convenient for them to cultivate. As long as they did not fear the pain caused by the expansion of their meridians, they would be able to charge into the twentieth or thirtieth layer of the Qi Practitioner stage, or even higher, within ten to twenty years. They quickly formed a fighting force.
However, there was also a major flaw, and that was that the peak period was too short. They were too easily restricted by their age.
For a Cultivator who was adept at Soul Converging Arts, they could occasionally unleash unparalleled combat ability even if they were two hundred years old.
However, for a qi-trainer, because they were burning their soul and spiritual gas incessantly, their body would deteriorate after they reached eighty, and they would not be able to maintain their peak state anymore.
On Iron Plateau, it was an absolute truth that the young and strong were the weakest of the fists. Therefore, the major tribes paid a lot of attention to the training of the young people. In the battles against the apocalypse, the young experts would fight in the frontline together with the seasoned experts!
Li Yao observed for a long time and vaguely felt that something was not right. After pondering for a moment, he realized that Xiong Wuji, known as the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, had not taken any action at all.
"Right. Where is Father Xiong?"
Wu Mayan looked around. His eyes suddenly shone as he exclaimed, "He's over there!"
Li Yao raised his head and looked. Xiong Wuji was standing alone at the top of a cliff hundreds of meters high. He seemed to be both in control of the battle and waiting for something to show up.
Li Yao frowned. He calmed himself down and converted the pictures he had seen into numbers while he analyzed and calculated the movement patterns and attack patterns of the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts.
Weaknesses, weaknesses … Even the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts could not be completely devoid of weaknesses!
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and observed for a long time. Then he looked back and pondered for a moment, before he said in a low voice, "Listen up. I want you to do something for me!"
Ten minutes later …
BOOM! BOOM!
The scorpion tank was roaring. White smoke was spurting out of every gap of the curved shell.
Li Yao sat on the tank and adjusted the angle of every jet tube.
It was not until this moment that the qi-trainers from other tribes learned that he was the knight of the scorpion who had saved Li Yao's life in the nest of the Iron Ore Worms earlier. They all cheered for him!
Li Yao stuck close to the tank. The Sky Scorpion Armor and the scorpion tank seemed to be melded into one. He took a long turn at the back of the battle line. Suddenly, the front of the tank turned around and charged at a cliff nearby.
The moment the tank was about to hit the cliff, Li Yao pulled the front of the tank perpendicularly to the ground and soared into the sky. Half a minute later, Li Yao reached the top of the canyon!
Looking down from the ground, the canyon was shrouded in smoke and smog.
However, the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts were so intimidating that even a blind man could sense them.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and stared at the experts who were attacking the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts together. His computational ability increased nonstop as he selected the most critical moment to launch an attack.
Finally, the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts burst into fury again after taking a heavy blow from Guan Hao's axe. They spurted out a swarm of self-destructing beetles at first. Then, they dived and grabbed a war machine that was a spider!
"Now is the time!"
The scorpion tank roared like an iron beast and rushed to the cliff like an arrow that had just been shot. It drew a sharp arc in the air and aimed at the direction where the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts were moving!
The calamity-level apocalyptic beasts were too dizzy to deal with the experts above the 70th level of the Refinement Stage to notice that the scorpion tank had cut close to them!
The antennae of the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts shivered rapidly. They spurted out a swarm of self-destructing beetles again, which formed a black shield in front of them!
The scorpion tank, on the other hand, spurted out a large cluster of air and spun in midair, before it crashed into the black beetles brutally and turned into a fireball!
At this moment, the tank had reached the left compound eye of the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts.
However, judging from the trajectory of the tank, the scorpion tank would brush past the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts and would not be able to hurt its compound eye.
The calamity-level apocalyptic beasts made the same judgment, too.
Suddenly, an enormous' scorpion tail 'pierced out of the fireball into a corner of its compound eye!
The scorpion tank was hanging on the compound eye of the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts with the 'scorpion barbs' on the tail. It could not be shaken off at all.
Before the calamity-level apocalyptic beasts could grab it with their long limbs, the scorpion tank exploded violently. The dazzling light, blast, and countless broken pieces instantly turned one of its compound eyes into a bloody hole!
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!" The calamity-level apocalyptic beasts shrieked miserably from their abdomen.
Li Yao, on the other hand, had jumped out of the fireball before the explosion took place!
The Sky Scorpion Armor was covered in the sticky liquid of the black beetles, turning him into a man of fire.
However, the Sky Scorpion Armor, which had absorbed a lot of Crystal Suit designs and had been polished by Li Yao in person, was highly airtight and heat-insulating. Flames could not penetrate through it at all.
How could such a tiny amount of heat stop a monster like Li Yao?
"Shua!"
Li Yao opened his fingers and ejected a sharp blade. He grabbed the shell on the back of the calamity-level apocalyptic beast and crawled forward inch by inch with the strength of his arms.
The calamity-level apocalyptic beast sensed that there was an enemy on its back, too. Its antennae were cramping crazily and launching mental attacks. In the meantime, it shook violently in midair, trying to shake Li Yao off.
The other experts on the ground and in midair were all dumbfounded. They did not know that the Sky Scorpion Armor was so airtight and heat-resistant. All they saw was a burning man of fire clinging to the back of the calamity-level apocalyptic beast that was shaking violently. They were all dumbfounded.
A moment later, they realized what Li Yao was trying to do. Someone immediately roared, "Attack with full strength and distract it!"
Everyone gave it their all. Even if they would immediately die from exhaustion after this battle, they did not hesitate to launch a storm of attacks!
With their cooperation, the calamity-level apocalyptic beast did not have any time to rest. Li Yao crawled to the top of its other compound eye inch by inch.
The crimson compound eye looked like ten thousand hexagonal rubies. It was glittering and emitting soul-stirring brilliance.
Chi!
Suddenly, an overwhelming air current spurted out of the gap of the shell above the compound eye and blew Li Yao away!
However, the moment he was blown away, Li Yao grabbed the Scorpion Tail Giant Sword and stabbed it backward in midair!
Swoosh!
The Scorpion Tail Giant Sword was dissected again and extended to more than ten meters. It pierced into the only remaining compound eye of the calamity-level apocalyptic beast in a weird curve.
The long sword was thrown out of Li Yao's hand. Spiritual gas spurted out of the hilt of the sword and dashed forward, before it was reassembled. One third of the sword sank into the compound eye of the calamity-level apocalyptic beast.
The compound eye of the calamity-level apocalyptic beast had a special structure. Even if part of it was destroyed, it would not lose its vision completely.
However …
BOOM!
In a moment, the Scorpion Tail Giant Sword exploded brutally like the Scorpion Tank!
