Chapter 775 The choice of armor

Sure enough, they met on an arena with a diagonal line less than twenty arms long, an iron cage slowly lowered all around, and the inside of the cage wall was filled with sharp blades. Neither of the two gladiators were as fancy as they were in the team battle.

They shouted loudly in unison and both summoned the totem armor.

As a ball of lead-gray and a ball of pale golden liquid metal seeped out from their pores respectively, they solidified into extremely ferocious forms when they encountered the air. Both of them "grew" a pair of strange-looking armor.

Different from the full-body armor of Ice Storm, Stinger, Wildhammer, and Kasaval, the armor of this boar warrior is mainly concentrated on the shoulders and chest with shining tattoos.

In particular, the warhammer-like shoulder pads on the shoulders greatly enhance the lethality during a collision.

The tiger man's totem armor is concentrated on the arms, especially the ends of the arms. The liquid metal wrapped around the tiger's claws continues to extend the golden claws, almost dragging them to the ground.

In addition to perfectly fitting the body shape and outlining thrilling muscle lines.

The two incomplete totem armors are also engraved with mysterious and complex patterns and runes.

After Ice Storm's introduction, Meng Chao already had a rough understanding of the correspondence between "totem" and "characteristics".

We know that on the shoulders of the wild boar warrior on the left, there are three overlapping saw teeth, which represent the "shock" characteristic.

It can trigger the resonance of matter and use high-frequency oscillation to disintegrate the target from the inside. It is similar to Tyrant Mammoth's innate skill "War Trample".

On the right side of the tiger man's arms, there is a pattern that looks like an elongated lightning bolt. It is not an "electric shock" property, but a "sharpness" that can increase the lethality and armor-breaking rate, turning the claws wrapped in liquid metal into real

Divine weapon.

The two armored warriors, relying on their respective characteristics, collided fiercely.

The Wild Boar Warrior is equivalent to a weakened version of the Stinger equipped with the "Million Steam Hammer". The tactics are similar. They compress the opponent's range of activities through constant sprinting and collision, and finally force the opponent into a blind corner, using a series of unstoppable attacks.

Crash to resolve the fight.

The Khajiit chose a tactic similar to Ice Storm. Through constant attacks, he tried to tear open wounds on the opponent's body that was not covered with armor. He did not seek a quick victory, but only sought to bleed slowly, leaving the opponent unaware.

While sleeping, he fell into a desperate situation of excessive blood loss, and then tried to find a way to make a final decision.

Although they do not have the "frost" and "agility" characteristics of Ice Storm, compared with leopard men, tiger men are born with a larger body and thicker arms. With the blessing of "sharpness" characteristics, the golden claws at the end of the arms

Dragging out a series of afterimages can also be called "a tiger creates a wind".

Both sides attacked each other with no intention of evading.

The remaining blood from the last gladiatorial fight has not yet condensed, but new blood flowers are blooming on the steaming arena.

The surrounding audience was excited and cheered loudly.

Especially the clansmen of the two gladiators.

Because this gladiatorial battle will determine who is taller in the battle of glory, who obeys whose orders, and who is qualified to choose the spoils first.

This was closely related to their fate, and they spared no effort in cheering and cheering, as if blazing flames were erupting from the depths of their throats.

In the audience that was as fervent as a volcano erupting, only Meng Chao remained calm as always.

If you observe carefully, you can find that there are lines of subtly different colors around his pupils, like a rainbow-like halo, which is constantly enlarging and shrinking like zooming.

Instead, spiritual energy poured into the retina, lens and cones, and with extraordinary vision, he could see every subtle change of the two armored warriors.

Meng Chao had to admit that Ice Storm was right. Even if it only covered part of the limbs, the totem armor could still exert astonishing combat effectiveness.

No matter how small a totem is, it has magical properties. It is equivalent to a skill that is instantaneous and requires almost no forward movement or cooling. The duration of this skill can even last throughout the entire battle.

Just imagine, with the blessing of the power of the totem, the armor penetration rate or collision speed can be increased by 30% throughout the battle.

What a terrible thing.

However, this does not mean that the totem warriors are invincible.

Especially for the partially armored warriors, while some of their limbs had been strengthened, Meng Chao felt that they had fatal flaws as a whole.

Mainly, there is a subtle sense of tearing between the limbs covered by the totem armor and the limbs exposed to the air.

This is easy to understand - even if it is an ordinary armor, with three layers of heavy armor on the top and three layers on the outside, with only a pair of T-string underwear stuck underneath, it will inevitably be top-heavy and the strength will be unbalanced.

And if one arm is strengthened by the power of the totem and becomes extremely strong, the other arm is still in ordinary form and relatively thin.

Just like the length of your feet, it will have unpredictable effects on your center of gravity and balance.

"So, as long as I grasp the tearing feeling of the disabled warrior and find the imbalance point between the armored and unarmored parts, I still have a chance to kill the disabled warrior instantly even if I haven't recovered my combat power above the heaven level.

!”

Meng Chao thought to himself.

Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility.

Just like the eye-catching white-fronted tiger, it theoretically has a weak belly that is soft and easily disemboweled by a knife.

Therefore, ordinary people only need to use a sliding shovel to get under the tiger's belly, then point the blade upward and poke it gently, and behead the tiger effortlessly.

The truth is this.

But it is best not to practice it easily.

Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.

Masters compete with each other, winning or losing, life or death, only in a split second.

Just when Meng Chao was deep in thought, large pieces of blood burst out from the arena, which looked like fireworks.

The totem armor coverage rates of both sides are almost the same.

The advantage of thick skin and thick flesh helped the wild boar have the last laugh.

He withstood the Khajiit's seemingly powerful series of claw output, and finally succeeded in forcing the Khajiit into a corner.

Seizing the opportunity, his entire body turned into a lead-grey hurricane, instantly unleashing dozens of powerful and brutal collisions with a devastating attitude.

The iron cage, which was made of fine steel and was as thick as an arm, made a clanking sound when the wild boar man hit it, and underwent deformation visible to the naked eye.

Where the iron cage and the arena fit together, there were even more criss-crossing cracks.

The tiger man's arms, protected by his totem armor, were intact.

But the chest, waist and abdomen, which were not covered by armor, were smashed to pieces like mud.

The head with the horn helmet on its head looked as miserable as a watermelon trampled by the tyrant mammoth in the war.

Even the physical strength of advanced orcs is several times that of ordinary humans.

After suffering such a heavy blow, it is impossible for him to stand up again with his own strength.

The tiger man still maintained a "standing" posture, simply because he was collided by the wild boar man, and his back hit the blade on the inside of the iron cage. The blade penetrated deeply into his body, stuck his bones, and "pinned" him

Just staying.

The tiger man's eyes were distracted, and his arms covered with totem armor hung down weakly, twitching slightly.

The quilboars in the audience let out roof-shaking cheers.

The tauren booed loudly, with disappointment and anger beyond words.

Meng Chao didn't care about the outcome of the gladiatorial fight, he just stared at the totem armor on the tiger man's arms.

It was discovered that as the Khajiit was seriously injured and on the verge of death, the totem armor that originally wrapped his arms cracked, fell to the ground, turned into liquid metal again, and rolled towards the wild boar man.

It doesn't look like they were broken up by the quilboar.

It's more like... it took the initiative to decompose and fell into the arms of the wild boar!

The wild boar man was overjoyed. He knelt on one knee, stretched out his arms, and sucked all the remains of the tiger man's armor into his body.

The fangs protruded, and the extremely ugly face immediately showed the expression of excitement, confusion, and madness that would only appear after being injected with an overdose of ultra-high-concentration genetic medicine.

His arms spasmed violently, and every muscle was twitching wildly, as if it was being transformed by a new totem power.

Soon, huge goosebumps appeared on his arms, between the matted hair.

As the goosebumps burst, liquid metal surged out, and the arm guard that belonged to the Khajiit a moment ago was transferred to the quilboar's arm.

The "sharp" characteristics remain unchanged, but the color and appearance have been slightly changed to better set off the wild boar's strong body and rough temperament, and are integrated and inseparable from his original totem armor.

Now, the wild boar's armor can cover the shoulders, arms and part of the chest, and the coverage rate has nearly doubled.

He waved his arms like heavy war hammers and let out a victor's roar.

"This is the reason why totem warriors often like to bet on pieces of their armor in duels."

Ice Storm saw Meng Chao's surprise and explained, "Because this kind of gambling is difficult to deny - when the winner has been decided, and one party is seriously injured and on the verge of death, it is difficult to regain the previous combat effectiveness and win a bigger victory."

When he is in glory, his totem armor may actively abandon him and choose a new master who is more powerful and more likely to bring glory.

"If it were a wealthy family with a secret binding method that has been passed down for thousands of years, the situation might be better. Just like when I beat the Stinger unconscious just now, I could only tear off a large fragment of the armor from his chest, but I didn't.

The way is to tear off the entire "Million Steam Hammer" and take it for yourself.

"But for ordinary warriors who have no power and no inheritance, they are just one of the hundreds of owners of the totem armor during the thousands of years and long battles.

"Unless they show amazing courage and potential when facing an enemy that is far more powerful than themselves, it is impossible for the totem armor to die with them."

Meng Chao clicked his tongue in surprise.

The more I listened, the more I felt that the so-called "totem armor" was not real armor.

Rather, as Ice Storm reiterated again and again, it is an extremely strange living creature.

"It's just that it's not that easy to absorb the power of other people's armor fragments and totems..."

Ice Storm seemed to sense something, and his narrowed eyes were filled with pity.

Following her line of sight, Meng Chao looked towards the arena again.
