Chapter 551 - War in The Canyon
Chapter 551: War in The Canyon
Under a scorching sun in the cloudless sky, a black spot levitated at an altitude of close to a kilometer.
To be precise, it was not a black spot. Looking closer at an angle, it was actually a black giant eagle with a pair of black huge wings spread close to 20 meters and a body as dark black as night but with a pair of gold-rimmed eyes.
The huge black eagle soared at 1000 meters high, hovering like a fish in the sea, with only its black knife-like feathers blown by the cutting wind high in the sky.
However, the black eagle’s huge wings were suddenly kept.
Its originally completely still body instantly moved to an extreme extent, lunging straight toward the ground like a cannonball.
“Howl!”
A yellowish-brown-striped tiger with a four meter large body, that was lying lazily on the rocks and basking in the sun, suddenly constricted its pupils, seemingly having detected danger. The striped tiger moved its limbs, jumped off the rock and ran forward quickly.
However, it was already too late; in just two seconds, the huge black shadow of the black eagle above had covered the tiger completely.
A pair of steel casting-like greenish-black claws had grabbed it from above with a terrifying swoosh.
“Roar!”
The huge striped tiger with no hope of escaping and its ferocity of the king of beasts seemed to have been aroused. It turned its head and with a loud roar, it opened its huge jaws, exposing four sharp white fangs as it bit into the black eagle’s two claws hard.
However, the striped tiger’s white fangs, which were strong enough to rip a panther, did not have any effect when biting on the steel casting-like pair of greenish-black claws.
“Pu!”
Instead, the black eagle swiftly withdrew its claws, and its four sharp talons of close to two feet in length fully penetrated into the hardest skull of the tiger, instantly claiming its life force.
“Flap!”
With a loud cry that rang through the clouds, the giant black eagle flapped its wings and took off with its prey.
Legendary equipment –”Black Eagle.”
Feng Luo’s vision twitched, and he was taken out from the virtual setting created by his touch of the “second piece” of his Legendary equipment.
His face showed satisfaction as he held onto the Level 50 Legendary Grade tactical gloves which had a seemingly complex structure but in fact did not affect the grip and shooting when worn.
This section of “CG” now had officially reflected the special characteristic of this Legendary equipment.
“B-Grade defense coefficient, 25% high bonus Energy resistance… and a very powerful included skill – [Eagle Hunt].”
The included skill of this pair of gloves was being able to significantly increase the defense coefficient and overall Energy resistance of the effective range, while greatly increasing the destructive power of the eagle’s claw structure.
Feng Luo had already tested it out himself.
With the included skill of “Eagle Hunt” engaged, even the close-range shooting of the Tyrant pistol together with a C-Grade bullet would not cause any damage to the gloves.
Based on such a situation, with Force skill used, even the first shot by the Wings of Death would be able to cause only an ordinary damage.
With just a little thought, one would know that this was a great advantage in PK.
Catching a knife blade bare-handed? Or taking a bullet unarmed? Or even grabbing a Fireball or Wind Blade bare-handed with the high bonus Energy resistance?
With the Force skill of this pair of Legendary gloves, it all seemed like it was not impossible.
…
“Boom!”
After Feng Luo was done with admiring the Black Eagle gloves in his hands, the leafy ground before him suddenly trembled.
A pair of huge scorpion-like claws stuck out from below, and a head made of dark brown shell appeared.
A monster?
Of course not, this was the only Commander Grade beetle among Feng Luo’s beetle troops, currently at Level 45 – the Gatherer Beetle “Unify.”
Feng Luo’s current position was the location provided by Mu Wu where a few Nightless City players had come across beetles before recently.
After spending some time to reach this spot, Feng Luo had begun searching for beetle swarms. This Commander beetle was one of the spies he sent out not long before.
“Tch, tch…”
Sitting on Feng Luo’s shoulder, 24K put down the Energy Crystal which it held in its claws and had chewed on half, sent a message to him via “Mental Link.”
“Hm, it’s saying that there’s some discovery?” Feng Luo had joy on his face.
He had previously used a Scout beetle to search from the sky but did not find any nearby beetles.
The surrounding was full of lush primitive mountainous forests; even with the vision of Scout beetles, it was not possible to clearly distinguish from afar, hence it was a failure.
The idea of using Scout beetles with an almost 100% success rate had failed. Feng Luo thought of another method and sent a “Gatherer Beetle” that could drill underground.
Since it was a place where beetle swarms had roamed, even if there were no traces left on the ground, with beetles’ living habits, it was very likely that there would be holes left underground.
Unify, as a Commander Grade Gatherer Beetle, was not worse in its speed underground than on the ground. Plus it had very sharp senses, making it the most suitable for this task.
24K sent him a message that proved that his judgment was correct.
“Tch, tch…”
Unify had turned and drilled into the ground once more, while 24K called out twice, flapped its wings and flew up from Feng Luo’s shoulder.
It seemed that it could not wait to see its “little brothers.”
Ever since the “second evolution” was obtained at the nearby ruins the last time, 24K had possessed a certain degree of flight ability, but the flight distance still could not be too far.
…
“Woo…finally found it!” However, what Feng Luo did not expect was that although traces had been found, it had taken more than two hours to finally get a message of the discovery of beetle swarms back from Unify on recce.
Having already walked within the primitive jungle for half a day, he rushed out in anticipation.
“Didn’t expect that there’d be a canyon in the middle of a primitive jungle.” Feng Luo was slightly surprised that where it was visible, there was a cliff without many trees, and below the cliff was a very wide canyon with a height of about 30 or 40 meters.
However, what made Feng Luo even more surprised was that in the canyon, there was actually a “tribal war” happening at the moment.
At one side of the battle was a Cave Spider with a tan-colored back, a camouflage pattern like a human face on its abdomen, and could maneuver between steep rocks with its eight superbly flexible limbs.
On the other side was the target that Feng Luo was looking for – the remaining beetles which had escaped from the Lu Conglomerate ruins back then.
“There are still so many beetles.” When Feng Luo saw the beetle swarm clearly, his face suddenly showed both joy and concern.
The joy was from the fact that by looking down from his position and by a rough calculation, just the number of beetles he could see was definitely already up to a thousand.
Furthermore, this was only counting in the number of large-type beetles such as Bladed Beetles, Gatherer Beetles, Spray Beetles, and Steel Beetles; as for the small beetles such as the Scout Beetles and Energy beetles, they were not counted at all.
This number far exceeded his expectation from the start.
