Chapter 1272: Chapter 524: News from Mammoth Base_2

Even though it’s not as good as the Golden Eagle, it’s not much worse, after all, the Golden Eagle mainly has large wings and lots of feathers. But Lightning is all sinewy muscle!

So, not to mention Xiang Hongbin and the others—even Wang Tao and the Golden Eagle were somewhat shocked; they didn’t expect Lightning to grow so big.

However, the Golden Eagle didn’t show any fear; this actually stirred its fighting spirit.

It flew up directly, but not too high, and then charged straight at Lightning.

Boom~

The Golden Eagle collided with Lightning.

Everyone felt as if the earth was shaking.

"What a creature, luckily they’re fighting outside. If this were at the base, people might think there’s an earthquake!"

Yang Changhong was somewhat astounded.

The commotion of these two "prehistoric beasts" fighting was just too huge!

"But I have to say, this scene is really awesome!"

Watching the Golden Eagle and Lightning grappling closely, several men in the team were thrilled to no end, feeling as if they themselves couldn’t wait to go up and experience it firsthand.

Including Wang Tao, they all had this idea.

But on second thought, he decided against it. He could handle the Golden Eagle and Lightning using various methods, but to grapple closely like they were doing right now... with such disparity in size, Wang Tao decided he wasn’t looking to get beaten.

Lightning and Xiao Jin were just sparring, so they weren’t going all out. This led to a temporary tie.

If it was just a ground battle, it wasn’t certain that the Golden Eagle could win against Lightning. Lightning’s physical condition was truly outrageously strong, plus it had too much HP; it could wear out the Golden Eagle.

But if the Golden Eagle took flight, like when it had previously hunted the Sixth Rank Lords by diving down to attack, Lightning might not be able to handle it. After all, the advantage of flight was just too great. If it were a fight to the death, even if the Golden Eagle couldn’t win, it could still flee, and Lightning simply wouldn’t be able to catch up...

So overall, if they weren’t fighting for their lives, neither could cause serious injury to the other. But in a fight to the death, it would be hard to say.

"Break it up."

Feeling that neither could win, Wang Tao called a stop.

Both the Golden Eagle and Lightning stopped without dawdling, and after their match, they seemed to have a mutual respect for each other.

"You both did great! It’s a draw."

Wang Tao praised them, then added,

"How about this, I just happen to have some meteorites on hand. Since we’re out here, let’s open them. If there are monsters inside, you two take turns fighting; let’s see who can hunt them down faster. What do you think?"

"Chirp~"

"Woof~"

Both the Golden Eagle and Lightning had no objections and were quite eager.

Thus, Wang Tao took out the meteorites Cheng Yiyi had given him yesterday. They were all Level 4 and Level 5 meteorites, and as long as no Sixth Rank Lords appeared, both Lightning and the Golden Eagle should be able to handle them easily.

"Let’s start."

Wang Tao took out the matching Crystal Cores, then began opening one meteorite after another.

He once again maintained his good luck; except for the occasional junk Crystal Cores and equipment that popped out, the rest were either Ascension-type cores or contained Lord Monsters, Iron Beetles, and even Silver Beetles.

Lord Monsters naturally went to the Golden Eagle and Lightning to hunt, and the two did not disappoint Wang Tao’s expectations. Whether it was a Level 4 Lord Monster or a Level 5 Lord Monster, there wasn’t much difference for them; both were easily beaten half to death. Their strength far surpassed those of the same rank.

As for why beaten half to death, that’s because Wang Tao wanted to take the kills.

It didn’t take long for all the meteorites to be opened. Aside from some Crystal Cores Wang Tao kept, other items like Ascension Crystal Cores and Silver Beetles were distributed among the team members.

"Oh right, Jade Lotus, this is for you."

Wang Tao seemed to have thought of something and took out a pair of wings resembling those of a bee from his Space Backpack.

"What’s this?"

Lan Yulian was curious, and the others gathered around.

"This is a piece of equipment—wings. They allow a person to fly for about fifteen minutes."

Wang Tao briefly explained.

"It lets people fly?"

The crowd grew even more curious.

So, Wang Tao let Lan Yulian give it a try. As soon as she equipped the bee-like wings, they soon started buzzing, and her feet began to lift off the ground.

"Wow! She’s really flying!"

Watching Lan Yulian ascend slowly, everyone was filled with awe and envy. After all, who hasn’t dreamed of flying? Even though Wang Tao said it could only last for about fifteen minutes, it was still flight powered by oneself, and that felt entirely different from flying in an airplane or riding on the Golden Eagle.

Lan Yulian quickly learned to control and adjust to them under Wang Tao’s direction, but as soon as she landed, she removed the wings.

"Keep those wings for yourself; you need them more than I do!"

"No need, I have something better," Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Ah? You have more?" Ding Yuqin was curious, and the others also turned their attention to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao didn’t speak but instead moved his thoughts.

Whoosh— A pair of large, dark red wings instantly unfurled from Wang Tao’s back as he levitated, his similarly dark red cape fluttering in the wind and snow.

"Holy shit! That’s so cool!" Xiang Hongbin was visibly shaken.

He had just found the bee wings merely practical; as for being cool, he hadn’t felt that way, at most finding them sort of cute. But Wang Tao’s giant, bat-like wings were, in Xiang Hongbin’s eyes, cool with a capital C!

"Ha ha, not bad, right?"

When others praised Wang Tao for his strength, he didn’t feel much, but when they said he looked cool, that made him very happy.

After Wang Tao landed, several guys, including the eldest He Jijun, came over to touch Wang Tao’s wings.

"That’s so stylish!" Wei Zhenguo murmured to himself.

He didn’t know if Wang Tao’s wings and Lan Yulian’s bee wings differed in strength, but this style was genuinely stylish! Even he, who usually didn’t care about appearances, found them very cool.

"Um, would you let me try them on?" Xiang Hongbin looked hopefully at Wang Tao.

"Sure."

Wang Tao was generous enough to let them have a go with the wings. It just cost some crystal core energy, which he had plenty of.

After everyone had their turn, Wang Tao took out a Golden Beetle.

"This is a Level 6 weapon, the Golden Beetle. Once equipped, it can unleash Sixth Rank Combat Power. Do you guys want to give it a try?"

Everyone: "..."

Every time they were astonished by Wang Tao, he always brought them even bigger surprises.

Giving someone the combat power of a Sixth Rank!

"Try, we must try!" This time, including Ding Yuqin and the other women, everyone nodded.

They too wanted to feel what Sixth Rank strength was like.

And after trying on the Golden Beetle Armor, they finally understood how big the gap between themselves and Sixth Rank Lords was!

No wonder Wang Tao hadn’t brought them along recently; facing this level of battle, they were more likely to be a burden. Especially since Wang Tao could even Blood Suck, eliminating the need for a healer...

However, this also gave them the motivation to become stronger, having felt the combat power of a Sixth Rank, they too wanted to become Sixth Rank Awakened!

After trying out the Dark Blood Great Wing and the Golden Beetle Armor, they rode the Golden Eagle back.

"From now on, if you guys see any flying monsters outside, contact me, maybe they’ll drop materials for making wings. And if you find any Level 6 Meteorites, save them for me."

"No problem!"

Everyone immediately nodded; even if Wang Tao hadn’t said it, they would’ve done so.

With laughter and chatter, they returned to Changhe Base.

But after entering the base, Wang Tao suddenly received a message from Gu Yun.

"Hm? Another Survivor has contacted us? No, it’s those people from Mammoth Base..."

Previously, when Wang Tao sent the survivors from Ocean Base back, some leaders didn’t want to come and went to Mammoth Base instead.

Ocean Base’s boss, Yao Hai, left them some supplies, including a damaged radio.

And this message came from that device. Obviously, they had fixed it.

As for the content of the message... It was another distress call!

But this time, the content of the call for help made Wang Tao frown.

"The leader of Mammoth Base wants to sacrifice them to the ’Evil God’ in exchange for power... Evil God? What in the world?"
