Chapter 243 Wild Wolf Warrior vs Rock Horse Warrior
Unlike the battles between first-level evolvers, second-level evolvers are extremely cautious when fighting.

I won't take the initiative to attack easily.

Because that would be too risky.

Like the previous arena duels between the late-stage first-level combat priest and the rock horse warrior, fierce collisions almost always broke out the moment the referee Xu Wanfeng announced the start of the duel.

This is mainly because the combat effectiveness of a first-stage late-stage evolver is only capped at ten tons of strength even at its extreme state.

The second-level power armor they are equipped with, whether it is the Undead Holy Armor or the Rock Horse Armor, has a basic defense effect of more than ten tons.

Therefore, both sides can attack as much as they want and push the armor to its limit as much as possible to break the protection of each other's armor and end the game.

However, this kind of combat strategy cannot be realized among second-level evolvers.

The reason for this is that the second-level evolvers themselves are too powerful. They start with a force of ten tons, and can easily exert twenty to thirty tons, or even sixty to seventy tons...

The destructive power it brings far exceeds the protective effect of most armor.

In other words, in the first stage, defense can barely be on par with attack, but after evolving to the second stage, defense basically cannot continue to be effective.

Even with extremely strong armor capabilities, it can only withstand one or two more attacks at most.

This can be clearly demonstrated when Lin Feng and Li Hao are sparring with each other.

The two sides actually fought for no more than five rounds. Lin Feng added a level 26 alloy wolf bone branded armor, but his arm was directly broken by the opponent.

The Rock Horse Armor, which is famous for its defense and is at level 25, was still broken open by Lin Feng, and successfully injured Li Hao inside.

Therefore, when life forms evolve to the second stage, they are basically in a state of high attack and low defense, and will not act rashly without complete confidence.

Creatures like the Rockhorn Horse start stacking armor crazily in the first stage of evolution. After evolving into a second-order patriarch-level Rockhorn behemoth, they are covered with a one-meter-thick ceramic steel outer armor weighing more than ten tons, and basically have no enemies in the wasteland.

Even as natural enemies, steppe wolves require at least three chief-level steppe giant wolves to successfully hunt a rockhorn horse of the same level.

Such a successful evolutionary idea also made the rock hornbill the largest wild beast group in the wasteland.

During the dark and turbulent Old Calendar Era, they survived several mass extinctions and continued to thrive to this day.

But it is precisely this superb adaptability to the environment that allows the rockhorn horse tribe to thrive in the wasteland without the need for a third-level horse king.

Without internal needs and external threats, the Yanma clan has not yet produced a third-level king beast.

But their successful experience in the first and second stages of evolution is unquestionable.

This also makes the Rockhorn Warriors who embark on the path of Rockhorn evolution one of the few warriors with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

So at this moment, in this first second-level arena competition that everyone is looking forward to, the Rock Horse warrior wearing Rock Horse armor was the one who successfully took the first step.

Although the Undead Holy Armor has amazing recovery capabilities, its defensive effect is far inferior to the Rock Horse Armor, and it can only withstand three or four attacks from the same level at most.

As long as the Rock Horse Armor does not encounter armor-breaking expertise, such as the alienated metal fangs or claws of the Steppe Wolf, it can basically withstand unlimited attacks of the same level of power.

The armor-piercing cannon in Lin Feng's hand was as powerful as a 120mm howitzer. If it didn't hit directly, it could only cause some minor damage to the level 25 Rock Horse Armor.

Most of the weapons used in close combat are not as hard as the ceramic steel on the outside of the armor.

Fortunately, the Rock Horse Armor is not invincible. Its disadvantages in explosive power and speed make it difficult for its attacks to hit the same level.

Lin Feng and the chief aide were behind the screen in the control room, unable to confirm the defense level of the Rock Horse Armor, nor the evolution level of the Rock Horse Warrior piloting the armor inside...

But the spectators on the sidelines of the arena, especially the priests and leaders who are also second-level beings, can clearly sense the strength of the players on the field.

At this moment, Father Suan appeared among the monks of the church, taking charge of staying here to prevent any accidents.

One kilometer away, among the permanent villagers from the three major villages, there was also Li Hao, the head of the Li family, who came to watch the game in person.

Next to him was the second-level leader of the Motorcycle Village. The leader of the Dawn Village from the same camp did not come and was staying in Oasis Town to avoid any accidents.

Father Suan then transmitted his perception and judgment back to Oasis Town via radio:
"The Li family sent out a player who is at the early stage of the second stage, and his strength is not very strong, not even at the level of twenty-three."

"As for the Rock Horse Armor, it's still the same Level 20 set used in the First-Level Tournament, but it has evolved after the battles with the High Priest and the First-Level Late Wild Wolf Warrior."

"It is currently estimated to have reached the strength of the twenty-first or twenty-second level Rock Horse Armor, and is evolving rapidly."

"If there's a chance, it would be best to destroy the core of the armor directly to prevent these magic armors from continuing to accumulate and evolve, and cultivating a second set of mid-stage armor for the Li family."

After that, the intelligence information was passed back to the Oasis battleship, received by the church area at the bow, and then sent to the command and control room.

After hearing the news, Lin Feng has roughly determined that the first contestant is Li Mingquan.

According to this guy's character, he will definitely tell his grandfather Li Hao about his threats after returning.

Then, judging from the behavior of Li Hao, the old fox, he will definitely not remain indifferent. Even if he knows that the Life Farm behind him will take action, he must prepare corresponding defense strategies.

The first thing is to hold the competition in advance. Lin Feng had already guessed this, so he was not too surprised when he heard the news.

Holding the competition in advance not only disrupts the church's arrangements, but also allows them to reserve more time to respond, so that they can escape in time if something unexpected happens.

The second thing is to completely give up Li Mingquan.

This was also the conclusion Lin Feng came to after confirming that Li Mingquan was on the court.

Whenever Li Mingquan talks about the support from the diocese of the Holy City, Li Hao will definitely become suspicious.

In order to obtain such extremely confidential information, unless he was pretending to be serious and wanted to betray his family and join the church, he might even propose to Li Hao that he would take some of his clansmen and resources and secretly go to the Holy City.

Preserve a bloodline for the family.

If something happens here, the Li family can continue to exist and develop there.

And if the uprising in Oasis Town succeeds, Li Mingquan can also act as an insider in the Holy City to help his family and the Oasis warship escape from the pursuit of the Holy Spring Cult.

As long as he mentioned this, he would be no different from a traitor in Li Hao's eyes, even if Li Mingquan's words were indeed the right move for the Li family to diversify its investments...

But he has not fully realized that in Li Hao's eyes, the entire Li family, thousands of people, are just tools on his road to evolution.

Li Hao used his power and bloodline to cultivate his family, hoping to sell it for a good price one day. Advancing to the late Second Stage, and even having the hope of reaching the higher Third Stage, the King Stage, was the best deal.

So Li Hao will definitely appease Li Mingquan and let him finish the game first, and then pretend to agree with him regardless of whether he wins or loses, and arrange for him to go to the Holy City after the game.

But in fact, the win or loss of this game is not important to Li Hao at all.

Winning is the best, but losing doesn’t matter.

But the key is to use this opportunity to test the church's true attitude and the cards it holds.

This will be used to formulate the following two countermeasures.

In order to achieve this goal, the Rock Horse armor driven by Li Mingquan must have been tampered with in advance. Under Li Hao's control, it will release sublimation potions to stimulate the armor and Li Mingquan to reach their extreme state.

This forces the opponent to use all his strength.

This is to confirm the upper limit of the power in the hands of the church and whether it can pose a threat to Li Hao himself.

In this way, he can make sure whether he can participate in both of the next two arena competitions.

According to Lin Feng's idea, the only personnel that the church can send are two early-stage priests and Su An, who has the strongest combat power, and they can barely compete with Li Hao.

Then as long as Li Hao fights three games in a row, he will be able to win the game safely.

After all, they have to deal with two early second-stage beings. With the twenty-sixth-level evolutionary strength, Li Hao can easily suppress and defeat the early-stage apprentice priests even without using sublimation potions.

Even if a second-level Wild Wolf Warrior was transformed with Wild Wolf Essence, if he only had the initial strength, he would still not be able to threaten a second-level mid-stage, fully armed Rock Horse Warrior.

But the only problem is that if Li Hao fights three games in a row, his own condition will also be affected.

Especially when he participated in the first match, the church would definitely send Father Su An in the second match to deal with Li Hao's challenge, or defeat the Li family's second-stage early stage rock horse warrior...

In short, either Li Hao tries his best in advance, or he will lose the game.

So no matter what the situation is, it is better to let Li Mingquan lose this battle in advance. As long as he can force the opponent's second-level wild wolf warrior to use all his strength, Li Hao can estimate how strong Father Su An will be after the transformation.

Whether it can pose a threat to itself.

If he could really be on par with himself, then the first one to run away might be Li Hao, who started this rebellion and firmly opposed the church.

Lin Feng saw this at this moment, so he asked:
"Does the church's second-level combat priest have the confidence to defeat a twenty-second-level rock horse warrior?"

The chief assistant priest frowned slightly, but soon felt relieved. After all, the transformation plan of the wild wolf essence could be successfully implemented only because the man in front of him went to the Taishan ruins and finally obtained enough wild wolf essence.

Father Suan must have already told the other party the general plan.

It is reasonable for Lin Feng to understand the second-level wild wolf warrior.

However, as the acting captain of the Oasis battleship, the chief assistant priest did not know much about this matter.

The area she is responsible for is not evolutionary research.

So I could only shake my head and reply honestly:
"I don't know. I'm not the deacon in charge of this. Father Suan knows more than me. If you have any questions, you can ask him first."

Lin Feng was slightly stunned:
"Can we contact him now?"

The chief deacon looked at the man as if it were natural.

"Of course, we can receive radio messages from over there, so we can naturally send them back."

"Don't worry about being eavesdropped. This kind of technology is impossible for the natives of the Li family and other places to master. It requires a matching main radio and a password to receive and transmit messages."

"It's a pity that Oasis Town is so remote, and the scorching sun's energy is interfering. Otherwise, we could have established real-time telephone communication like we do in the Holy City."

Lin Feng didn't care about these things, and immediately asked the chief deacon to pass the message to Father Su An:
"Tell Su An that the driver of the Yanma armor is Li Hao's grandson Li Mingquan, and he doesn't want to fight to the death."

"But the control of the Rock Horse Armor is in Li Hao's hands. He will definitely release the sublimation potion to allow the armor to enter the extreme burst state."

"Don't let the second-level priest hold on. Even with the bonus of the wasteland wolf bloodline gene, he can't compete with the Rock Horse Battle Armor with the combat power of the middle-level second-level week."

"Rashly activating the Wild Wolf bloodline and accelerating the assimilation process will only cause the High Priest, who has been transformed into a Wild Wolf Warrior, to gradually lose his mind. He will be influenced by the Wild Wolf genes and fall into a killing frenzy, allowing the Rock Horse Warriors to dominate the competition."

"Then you won't just lose the game; even the High Priest's life will be ended by the Rock Horse Armor!"

"Once he steps onto the ring, Li Mingquan's life is no longer his own!"

"Li Hao never thought of letting him survive. Instead, he wanted to use his life to transform this magic armor to a higher level!"

After hearing Lin Feng's words, the chief deacon also realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly arranged for his men to convey Lin Feng's warning word for word to Father Su An, who was ten kilometers away.

At the edge of the ring where a fierce confrontation broke out, when Father Suan received the news from his men, he revealed a barely perceptible smile.

Then he looked very confidently towards the center of the arena in the distance, where the injured Rock Horse Warrior was being harassed by a second-level high priest wearing the Undead Holy Armor.

Relying on his own speed and the speed of his holy armor, the high priest flexibly dodged the repeated attacks of the Rock Horse Armor, and while the opponent was retracting his hands, he used the melee weapon made of special materials in his hand to tear open the ceramic steel on the surface of the armor.

If Lin Feng were here, he would definitely notice the cold light gleaming on the blade edge of the melee weapon in the Undead Saint Armor's hand...

It is made of the same material as the fine steel wolf fang he had obtained.

Its hardness and sharpness, combined with the second-level high priest and the Undead Holy Armor, the explosive force of twenty to thirty tons is enough to cause damage to the early second-level Rock Horse Armor.

If this continues, the Rock Horse Warriors will definitely lose the game.

And this situation is exactly what Father Suan wanted to see.

As for Lin Feng's reminder, it was already part of his plan and expectations.

The church's goal in the first second-level competition was never to win the game or test the Li family's strength...

Not to mention killing the opponent's second-level rock horse warrior.

Instead, they want to destroy this set of biological magic armor that can continuously absorb experience from failures and upgrade and strengthen itself!
