Chapter 1263: Chapter 520 Sixth-Rank Weapon: Golden Beetle_2

"Another flying monster!"

[HP: 600,000/600,000]

[Mana: 300,000/300,000]

[Level: Sixth-Rank Lord]

[Internal Impurity: 50%]

[Awakening: Resilience]

[Resilience: All basic attributes increased, strength and defense significantly increased]

At first glance, Wang Tao thought it was a giant bat, but upon closer inspection, he realized that aside from having a pair of dark red wings similar to a bat’s, its body was covered by a thick shell, shaking its huge and sharp legs like a shredder, emitting a piercing shriek from its mouth filled with sharp fangs.

This was a flying monster of the Insect race that had awakened its system!

Upon seeing Wang Tao, the Bat Monster immediately charged excitedly, not expecting to encounter such delectable prey right after emerging.

But the Golden Eagle, already prepared in advance, swooped down. The Bat Monster was also quick, but it failed to notice the Golden Eagle immediately and lost its chance to evade. By the time it realized the danger, it was too late.

Bang!

[-26,833]

The Golden Eagle’s steel claws grabbed hold of the Bat Monster’s skull with a thud. Although it did not manage to crush the skull, it still knocked out over twenty thousand of its HP.

"This monster’s defense is even higher than that of the Giant Zombie, truly befitting of a Sixth-Rank System Awakened monster!"

Seeing the damage numbers, Wang Tao wasn’t too surprised.

His eyes instantly fired two high-temperature rays, hitting the Bat Monster precisely.

[-3,573]

[-3,341]

[-3,423]

[...]

However, what surprised Wang Tao was that the high-temperature rays seemed to cause more damage to the Bat Monster than to the Giant Zombie.

"Could it be that it’s only physically strong, with weaker defense against fire? Not as comprehensive as the Giant Zombie’s defense?"

Wang Tao could only explain it this way.

Even though he discovered that fire Ability could inflict high damage, Wang Tao didn’t intend to use any fire Ability or Awakening to defeat it this time.

He charged forward and forcefully stabbed at the Bat Monster with his spear.

[-4,396]

[Curse: Poisoning]

The stab only inflicted a little over four thousand damage.

Wang Tao’s expression remained unchanged, and flames suddenly engulfed his body, sharply increasing the surrounding temperature; the Bat Monster began to lose HP continuously.

With the enhancement from Starfire Prairie, Wang Tao fiercely stabbed the Bat Monster again.

The Flame Spear, engulfed in flames, solidly pierced through the Bat Monster’s shell.

[-8,329]

[-823]

[...]

[Curse: Slow]

Although this spear’s damage doubled compared to the previous one, in Wang Tao’s eyes it still wasn’t high enough.

Having been attacked by Wang Tao twice in succession, the Bat Monster was evidently furious. Ignoring the Golden Eagle, it turned around and, with its sharp scissor-like legs, went on the attack, looking to shred Wang Tao on the spot!

If it caught him, Wang Tao didn’t know if his Omnipotent Shield could withstand it.

He didn’t want to find out, so he gave up the opportunity to continue the attack and retreated instantaneously.

Wang Tao retreated decisively and quickly, leaving the Bat Monster’s attack grasping at thin air.

The Bat Monster was ready to pursue Wang Tao, but the Golden Eagle’s attack came again. The Golden Eagle’s single attack did more damage than Wang Tao; the Bat Monster couldn’t just ignore it, so it had to give up chasing Wang Tao to deal with the Golden Eagle first.

Wang Tao didn’t rush in but took out the Golden Beetle and threw it on the ground.

Crack—

The moment the Golden Beetle landed, it instantly grew in size, and a shimmering, golden Biological weapon rose from the ground!

Its belly split open, and Wang Tao leaped straight into it.

Wang Tao had just been saying he’d test the Golden Beetle’s combat capabilities during the next battle, and now wasn’t that opportunity here?

Thump, thump—

Wang Tao immediately drove the Golden Beetle toward the Bat Monster.

The Bat Monster had intended to fly higher, but tangled by the Golden Eagle, it didn’t manage to get very high. After Wang Tao armed himself with this ten-meter-tall Golden Beetle, he was able to reach it.

The Golden Beetle ran not so slowly and reached the Bat Monster in just a few steps. Wang Tao didn’t bother with any fancy moves; he just threw a punch directly.

Boom!

[-13276]

A punch for 13,000 damage!

Wang Tao said that the Golden Beetle could enhance his attack power, and it indeed did just that. At a glance, it looked like it could increase the attack power by about 1.5 times, and he guessed that the defensive power probably increased even more! This is the power of a Sixth-Rank!

After arming the Golden Beetle, Wang Tao moved a bit slower. When he attacked the Bat Monster, its scissor-like legs also struck him.

[-5321]

A number indicating over five thousand damage appeared above the Golden Beetle’s head. The Bat Monster’s attack was not weak, but the Golden Beetle was unworthy of being a Sixth-Rank biological weapon, as its defense was even higher than the system-awakened Bat Monster!

This time, Wang Tao was completely at ease. Both the attack and defense of the Golden Beetle were higher than that of the Bat Monster; it’s just that its HP wasn’t as much as the Bat Monster’s, which was currently at 250,000. But with the Golden Eagle as his aid, it wasn’t a big problem.

Wang Tao let the Golden Eagle entangle the Bat Monster, preventing it from flying away. Then he went straight for the Bat Monster with punch after punch.

Faced with the Bat Monster’s counterattacks, he dodged if he could and shrugged it off when he couldn’t, using the Golden Beetle to tough it out! Who isn’t from the Insect race, anyway—Wang Tao felt these beetle weapons were also a kind of insect.

The battle that followed highlighted brute force and utter unreasonableness.

Relying on the Golden Beetle’s sturdy constitution, Wang Tao went head-to-head with the Bat Monster. He managed to grab the Bat Monster’s wings and dragged it down from the air. Then the two fought on the ground, causing such a commotion that those unaware might have thought it was an earthquake.

The Golden Eagle flew around Wang Tao, ready to dive down whenever the Bat Monster thought of taking off, pinning it to the ground.

Facing the cooperation of Wang Tao and the Golden Eagle, the Bat Monster couldn’t exert its strength and couldn’t escape, forced to fight and feel very stifled.

Meanwhile, Wang Tao was thoroughly enjoying himself.

It was only after having learned the Omnipotent Shield that his fighting style became a bit more unrestrained. But never had he been as reckless as now, completely ignoring defense and not using weapons, just using his fists in close combat.

Boom!

[-13744]

Boom!

[-14283]

Boom!

...

He didn’t know how many punches he had thrown, but when Wang Tao’s fist shattered the Bat Monster’s skull, he realized he had hammered it to death alive.

[0/600000]

The Bat Monster, with its HP bar cleared, crashed to the ground.

"Is it over? That was a bit too fragile!"

Wang Tao still felt unsatisfied.

Indeed, this type of hand-to-hand combat where he himself wouldn’t get hurt was exhilarating!

However, seeing the HP of the Golden Beetle afterward, Wang Tao calmed down slightly.

He and the Golden Eagle had depleted the Bat Monster’s six hundred thousand HP, and the Golden Eagle didn’t get hurt much, while the Golden Beetle, which had been absorbing the damage, lost over a hundred thousand HP.

For the Golden Beetle with 250,000 HP, this loss wasn’t all that significant. However, the Golden Beetle could only replenish its HP with Crystal Cores, and not even a healer could do so. So what dropped was not just HP but money. Although Wang Tao wasn’t short on cash, he still wanted to save where he could.

Ka—

Wang Tao disarmed the Golden Beetle Armor.

First, he took out some Level 4 Crystal Cores so the Golden Beetle could replenish its HP. Then he went over to the Bat Monster, ready to collect the spoils of war.

"Woof~"

At that moment, Lightning, who had been hiding in the distance, noticed the battle was over and immediately ran over, wagging its tail.

"Do you want to devour it? No problem, it’s yours."

Wang Tao smiled, patting Lightning’s head.

"Woof~"

Lightning had wanted to eat that previous Insect race corpse, but Wang Tao let the Golden Beetle have it to activate its armor abilities.

Now that he had used up all his Sixth-Rank Meteors and there were no second Golden Beetle, the Insect race corpse should not go to waste; naturally, it belonged to Lightning.

"Oh?"

However, while collecting the spoils, Wang Tao suddenly raised an eyebrow.

[Received: Sixth-Rank Crystal Core·Defense x1]

[Received: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]

[Received: Sharp Pointed Leg x6]

[Received: Dark Blood Wings x1]

He discovered that besides the legs, which were crafting materials, the Bat Monster’s pair of wings were too! It seemed there was another opportunity to make some flying equipment? Wang Tao was immediately very excited.
