Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1554

Chapter 1554: Fire Qilin

Just as Fei Qingyun and the others were rolling and crawling away in panic, the sound of a volcano erupting once again came from the depths of the jungle.

Dozens of towering trees that were as thick as three to five people were uprooted, and they danced in the sky like weeds in a fierce wind.

Mixed with the fierce burning wind, the killing intent that soared to the sky was more like an invisible beast tide that had broken through an underground cage. It was about to devour the entire sky.

The air wave that was hundreds of degrees hot only took a few seconds to reach the front of the death convoy.

The seven monster transport vehicles that weighed more than a hundred tons were all shaken back and forth by the extremely powerful shock wave. They almost overturned as a result.

Even the undead creatures in the carriage sensed the aura of the peerless warriors, and a short period of dead silence appeared.

Of course, in the next second, they seemed to smell the taste of a huge feast, and their struggles became even more intense.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and looked at the back of his hand first. His hairs were involuntarily standing on end, and they were as hard as steel needles.

Then, he raised the magnification of his super vision to the limit and repeatedly scanned the “eye of the storm” not far away.

He was somewhat surprised to find that in the middle of the towering trees that were dancing like weeds in the sky, there were seven or eight humans moving like kites with broken strings!

These guys…

They were all wearing awe-inspiring power armor that appeared as red as fire.

The crystal engines on their backs, the Honeycomb rocket launchers on their shoulders, the Vulcan cannons and power gloves on their arms, and the auxiliary power system that extended from their backs all the way to their lower limbs… These were all steel and iron bones. It was the perfect combination of black technology that surpassed the era. Plus, the domineering aura of the ancient war gods allowed their height to surpass three meters, as though they were divine weapons that had descended from the sky.

The bright red color that was jumping around like a burning wind, coupled with the flaming halos that surrounded the power armor, helped Meng Chao recognize the models of these power armor at a glance.

“Fire Qilin!

“These guys are actually all equipped with Fire Qilin armor!

“They are all Heaven Realm powerhouses!”

Although the power armor could allow humans to have the speed and strength to break through their natural limits, the acceleration and impact it brought were not things that ordinary people could withstand.

Just like in Picturesque Orchid Lake, not every orc had the qualifications and ability to wear the totem armor.

If they were not strong enough, they would likely face a backlash from the totem armor if they put it on forcefully. That would turn them into the half-human, half-ghost muddleheaded Origin Warrior.

Relatively speaking, it was less of mysticism and more of a mechanical crystallization that relied on modern technology.

Although the power armor was not as terrifying as the totem armor, an ordinary person, who had not undergone professional training, would instantly accelerate beyond the speed of sound when he rashly put on a set of powerful high-level power armor. Then, he would lose control and crash into the wall, causing his tendons to break, bones to fracture, and a severe concussion. That was a high probability event.

Therefore, generally speaking, through the power armor’s level, one could infer the wearer’s cultivation level.

The stronger the power armor, the stronger the master who could manipulate it easily.

The Fire Qilin battle armor had been created by the nine mega corporations. It was one of the strongest mass-produced power armor in Dragon City and also one of the strongest in terms of power.

The super materials technology and new energy technology from the Other World had allowed the nine mega corporations to compress the sixteen-cylinder red-headed double-convex star turbocharged engine to less than one meter in diameter. From there, it could be mounted on the power armors for individual soldiers.

This super engine, which could be called the “steel monster,” not only provided an amazing source of power to superhumans, but it also helped them to increase their running, jumping, and even low-altitude gliding motion by more than 500%.

It could also provide terrifying acceleration for the Honeycomb rocket launchers, six-barreled Vulcan cannons, power gloves, and other “weapons of mass destruction,” thereby pushing the destructive power to the limit.

When the same armor-piercing bullet was fired from an ordinary anti-material sniper rifle, its power was more than 300% different from when it was fired from the Fire Qilin’s shoulder cannon.

In the actual combat test, a superhuman who was equipped with the Fire Qilin was even able to withstand two to three Hell Beasts, or even annihilate an entire armored army.

Of course, since the combat parameters were so heaven-defying, the equipment requirements had to be very strict.

To compress the sixteen-cylinder red-headed double-convex star turbocharged engine to the point that it could be carried by a single soldier, they had to sacrifice a lot of redundancy in heat dissipation, shock absorption, buffering, and radiation protection.

In the words of the Fire Qilin tester, when he first fitted the power armor and performed a supersonic cobra maneuver, it was “like there were a hundred Hell Beasts dancing on my back.”

By the time he finished his test and took off his power suit, his entire back was burned to a crisp.

His burnt flesh and the power armor were stuck together. Only the sharpest scalpel could be used to peel it off.

After that, the Fire Qilin had undergone a series of improvements and greatly improved its usability, comfort, as well as safety.

Despite that, the unruly giant steel beast still could not be easily tamed by any Tom, Dick, or Harry.

“Only Heaven Realm powerhouses are qualified to be equipped with the Fire Qilin!”

It was common knowledge in Dragon City’s superhuman circle.

“The Fire Qilin’s power is powerful, and the cost to build it is also astronomical!

“A tactical team consisting of seven or eight Fire Qilin and seven or eight Heaven Realm powerhouses was a rarely seen luxury lineup during the Monster War!

“However…”

However, such a grand lineup did not seem to be flying into the air and attacking the target from a high vantage point.

Instead, it seemed to be blown into the air by an even more powerful and terrifying existence. They were dancing in the wind together with the giant trees that were falling apart and burning furiously.

Meng Chao noticed that one of the ‘Fire Qilins seemed to have been attacked by a shooting star from the sky. Its breastplate was deeply sunken and almost stuck to its crystal engine.

The person’s chest that was between the breastplate and the crystal engine, as well as his heart, lungs, and other organs inside the chest, were naturally compressed till they were as thin as cicadas’wings. They were pouring out of his seven orifices like mud.

Another Fire Qilin had seemingly been swallowed by an invisible behemoth. His left arm and left leg were missing, while sparks and blood were spurting out of his bloody fractures.

The third Fire Qilin was even more unlucky.

His sixteen-cylinder, red-headed, double-convex, star-shaped turbocharged engine had suffered a fatal failure under the enemy’s heavy blow.

The top-quality crystals in the mini fuel tank under his engine were stimulated by the enemy’s spirit magnetic interference, triggering a chain reaction.

As a result, the crystal engine exploded in the air. The scrap metal that was thousands of degrees hot embedded itself into the back of the wearer, turning the Heaven Realm warrior in the power armor into a burning, dancing, and disintegrating firework as he screamed.
