Chapter 195: Thirty-three Tons Of Might
“Damn, what a club!”
“Isn’t the hall master a sword user?”
“I guess the hall master is just trying to boost his aura. That way, in battle he can shout ‘eat my club’ and it sounds impressive.”
“You don’t get it. This is our strength system’s belief. I didn’t expect the hall master’s class change to be into our strength system. As expected, our strength system is the king’s way. I wonder if the hall master will sell this weapon.”
All the players watched the pitch black great club Lin Qi had picked up and started chattering excitedly, getting more and more worked up. Fang Zhen and Yi Ye Fu Yun, who had learned Reverse Star Triple, were especially excited. Their eyes lit up uncontrollably as they looked at the pitch black great club.
“A blunt club-type weapon, huh?” Morton glanced at Lin Qi and finally spoke. “Brother Lin, no offense, but this weapon is fine against people. Against monsters though, it’s much less effective than a sharp weapon. Still, since you’re using such a heavy weapon, your strength must be considerable. How about this: Rake and I will take the main offense, and you focus on assisting by blocking the monsters’ attacks. Is that workable?”
“No problem,” Lin Qi nodded, without bothering to explain.
A club-type blunt weapon indeed was not suitable against monsters. Monsters had rough skin and thick flesh and were very tough. Using weapons like sabers, spears, or swords, you could pierce their skin and muscles, damage blood vessels or even organs, and cause serious harm.
But his club was different. With dual attributes added to it, its effect was far better than ordinary blades.
Soon, Morton finished assigning everyone on the vehicles their roles, and all the B6 armored transport vehicles of the transport convoy sped toward the stronghold in the wilderness.
The B6 armored transport vehicles were extremely fast. Even driving through the mountains, they reached speeds of over a hundred kilometers per hour. Trees as thick as a person’s waist on the road were directly knocked down, and the people inside hardly felt any shaking. The players were stunned, not expecting such a divine weapon for wilderness movement.
In a little over four hours, they had already traveled nearly five hundred kilometers away from the City of Light Chasing.
Along the way, they were ambushed several times by monsters, but in front of the B6 armored transport vehicles, even mid-level monsters could not cause any damage. The entire transport convoy did not even need to stop and simply rammed through.
Only when they encountered a large monster attack that completely blocked the road ahead would the convoy stop and let everyone clear out the incoming monsters.
Faced with a group of one to two hundred monsters, the city guard was already used to it. The leader, Bai Luo, almost instantly leaped off the vehicle. With one stomp he shot forward like a cannonball, directly intercepting the leading high-level monster in the herd.
As for the various teams, they held position beside the armored transport vehicles. The city guard personnel took the main offense, while the accompanying martial artists assisted by dealing with the incoming mid-level monsters.
“So these are mid-level monsters?”
Some beginner martial artists in the teams looked at the monsters, each six to seven meters tall, like two-story buildings. Every step made the ground tremble. With over a hundred moving together, it felt like the world was shaking. They were deeply shocked.
They had not expected mid-level monsters to be completely different from the low-level monsters they had encountered in the wilderness before. It was like they were entirely different creatures.
The mid-level martial artists who had taken the initiative to block the mid-level monsters clashed with them head-on. With just one collision, those wearing B3 battle armor were sent flying. Fortunately, they used heavy shields to block, so they were not seriously injured.
“You beginner martial artists be careful. Even mid-level monsters that are not strength-type have casual strikes over eight tons of force. Without using martial artist-level martial skills, mid-level martial artists basically cannot block them.”
Morton, holding a B6 battle saber, cut off a mid-level monster’s front claw with one slash and reminded the beginner martial artists behind him.
This made the beginners who had wanted to test themselves all abandon the idea of close combat.
A casual strike from a mid-level monster exceeded eight thousand kilograms of force. Even a limit beginner martial artist in B2 battle armor wielding a martial artist-level weapon could not reach that level of power. Even a glancing hit could cause serious injury.
It was easy to imagine that if someone were directly rammed by a monster, even wearing B2 battle armor they might be killed on the spot by the impact.
So, one by one, they drew B-grade compound heavy bows for ranged support, and the players followed their example instead of rushing to act.
As mid-level and higher martial artists moved to engage the mid-level monsters, both sides quickly fell into chaotic battle.
A high-level male from the three-eyed tribe, wielding a B4 battle axe, faced two mid-level monsters. He dodged one monster’s claws with a quick sidestep, slipped to the flank of the other, gripped the axe with both hands, and swept across.
The axe light, carrying powerful internal force, instantly tore open the abdominal muscles of that mid-level monster, leaving a gash over half a meter long. Blood poured out, and faintly visible beneath the wound were stark white bones, making the mid-level monster howl in pain.
But the other mid-level monster did not stop. Its claws, like a small car, swung toward the three-eyed tribe warrior. The speed was so great it even broke the sound barrier.
The three-eyed tribe high-level martial artist was unconcerned. With a turn and another sweeping strike, a streak of axe light slammed into the claws, directly forcing the mid-level monster back a step.
After this brief exchange, everyone in the convoy could see that this high-level martial artist from the three-eyed tribe had gained absolute advantage.
“Not bad.”
Morton and Rake, who had each already killed one mid-level monster, glanced at the high-level warrior and could not help praising him.
Hearing their praise, the high-level warrior proudly glanced at Lin Qi, who was still dealing with a mid-level monster, and said, “You two, leave these two mid-level monsters to me. Hurry up and kill the other mid-level monsters. We can’t let the other teams take advantage.”
Morton and Rake both nodded. They handed over the three mid-level monsters that had rushed up to the transport vehicles to the high-level warrior and Lin Qi, and then moved on to slaughter other mid-level monsters.
There were more than one hundred mid-level monsters attacking the convoy this time. Divided among all the teams, each one had fewer than ten. If they only cleared the monsters near their own vehicles, they would not earn much at all.
While Morton and Rake were quickly clearing the other mid-level monsters, Lin Qi, facing a mid-level monster alone, repeatedly used his club to block its attacks.
“For a Wind Seeking Wolf that specializes in speed, its strength is really outrageous.” Lin Qi looked at the Wind Seeking Wolf in front of him, its body seven to eight meters long, covered in pale cyan fur, with icy fangs and claws, and he was secretly shocked.
The Wind Seeking Wolf was clearly only a mid-level monster, yet each casual strike held more than eight tons of force. If his physical fitness had not improved again, and if he were not wearing B3 battle armor that increased his strength by 1,600 kilograms, plus the club’s 50 percent strength amplification bringing his power to over 8,500 kilograms, he would have been forced to use martial skills just to properly block its attacks.
After exchanging more than twenty blows, Lin Qi felt he had basically adapted to the club in his hand.
Seeing the Wind Seeking Wolf lunging with its bloody maw open, Lin Qi did not dodge this time. He raised the club with one hand, his whole arm swelling thicker, and flicked it upward at the Wind Seeking Wolf.
Super-tier Martial Skill: Reverse Star Hand First Level Star Rotation!
With his strength surging fourfold, plus the club’s final 50 percent giant-force boost, this strike reached more than thirty-three tons of force.
Before the Wind Seeking Wolf could even react, at the instant its head met the club, its skull burst like a smashed watermelon. Its great bell-like head was instantly gone, blood sprayed wildly, splattering across the ground…
