Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 973
Chapter 973: Suppressing the Endless Killing Intent!
The method of combining the broken armor into a complete set of totem armor was theoretically very simple.
Perhaps they could go to the remote mountains and forests and search for the totem beast’s nest. As long as they continued to kill the totem beast, they would naturally be able to obtain the totem power in its body as well as the control core. Then they could slowly gather the entire set of armor.
However, the unprecedented half-century-long era of prosperity had caused the number of advanced orcs to soar to the peak of thousands. The totem beasts’ living space had been compressed to the limit.
The surviving wild totem beasts were all full of vigilance and good at disguising, hiding, and escaping.
Unless they mobilized a hundred clan warriors to form a large hunting team, it would be very difficult to capture wild totem beasts, which were getting fewer in numbers.
Otherwise, they could go to the arena and bet their broken armor to fight with other broken-armor warriors.
The winner would get the loser’s broken armor, and the loser would naturally have nothing and be cleaned up!
Of course, if one was lucky enough to be born in or to be attached to the Blood Hoof Clan or the Ironhide Clan, which had a long history, the clan would offer hundreds and thousands of totem armor sets that their ancestors had once worn. It would make things easy.
For thousands of years, countless Turan warriors had stained the battlefield with their blood. Their corpses had returned to the Earth and once again become precious nutrients for the mandrake tree.
However, the totem armors that they had once condensed and equipped were not destroyed along with their sacrifice. Instead, they were transformed into various forms and stored within the wealthy clans, temples, gladiators, and various ancient battlefields across Picturesque Orchid Lake.
As long as they passed the clan trials and completed difficult and dangerous missions, they would naturally be able to obtain the armor that their ancestors had equipped and continue the glory of a thousand years of indestructibility.
All of the above could be considered as an open and aboveboard path.
If they did not want or did not have the ability to gather a large group, they would go to the totem beast’s habitat to try their luck.
They also did not want to bet their broken armors in the arena to prevent them from losing completely.
His ancestors weren’t invincible heroes. They didn’t pass down a few sets of majestic totem armors.
Then there was only one path left: Kill and steal.
Picturesque Orchid Lake was definitely not a peaceful heaven.
Advanced orcs were definitely not good citizens who followed the law.
In the poor streets and alleys around the arena, there were all kinds of foul places. In order to fight for a set of totem armor, no, it was just to fight for a pair of wrist guards, shoulder pads, or half a liquid metal mask with runes engraved on it… all kinds of underhanded, underhanded, backstabbing, or fighting in the open never stopped.
“Wait…”
When Meng Chao heard this, he really could not help it. “Aren’t the Turan people super brave? They are all open and honest, iron-willed tough guys. Even if they have any conflicts or want something, they should go to the battlefield or the arena and settle it in the open. Is it okay to be underhanded and backstab?”
“That’s right. Most of the time, the people of Turan are indeed honest and upright men.”
Ice Storm said, “But, there’s nothing we can do. The totem battle armor is too tempting.”
Meng Chao scratched his head and said, “Then, this kind of private snatching method, can it be considered to have tarnished the glory of the Warriors? Will it attract the dissatisfaction of the ancestral spirits or even punishment?”
“Indeed, it has tarnished the honor of a warrior, and will attract the punishment of the ancestral spirit.”
Ice Storm said, “Therefore, we must make sure that we do it cleanly. We must not leave any evidence behind. If anyone leaves any traces after killing and stealing, and is seen through by others, it will bring shame to his family and ancestral spirit. They will be attacked by a group of people. At that time, anyone has the right to kill him and take his totem armor.”
“I see.”
Meng Chao rolled his eyes and said thoughtfully, “It’s both sacred and glorious!”
After spending a few days with him, Ice Storm knew that this Reaper was definitely not as harmless as his fragile appearance. Instead, he was a dangerous person who was even more terrifying than Casanova Bloodhoof. Perhaps… he was really a devil who had emerged from the deepest part of the eternal dark abyss.
She frowned slightly and said, “I know what you are thinking, but I advise you to give up this crazy and stupid idea as soon as possible!”
Meng Chao raised his eyebrows high.
He realized that he had asked too bluntly, and it was hard to deny that he had bad intentions.
“Why?” he asked in a noncommittal manner.
“First, it is impossible for you to defeat a totem warrior, even if the opponent is only equipped with a broken piece of armor.”
Ice Storm seriously said, “Believe me, whether the same warrior has the support of totem power or not, his combat ability is absolutely different. Even the weakest broken-armor warrior and the domestic rat servant soldier that you just defeated are two completely different concepts.
“Second, more importantly, even if you can defeat or even kill a broken-armor warrior and steal his totem power, it is impossible for you to perfectly integrate this unique totem power into your flesh and soul.
“Without the help of the witch doctor and the priest, you wouldn’t be able to resist the violent impact of the totem power.
“Moreover, you don’t know the background of the other party. You don’t know whether a seemingly ordinary piece of armor contains the battle intent and killing intent from thousands of years ago.”
“Wait, the battle intent and killing intent from thousands of years ago, what is that?” Meng Chao grasped the key point with his keen senses.
Ice Storm curled her lips and put on an expression that said, “You don’t know anything, yet you still want to snatch the totem armor. You’re really reckless.” However, she was also enjoying the pleasure of guiding the Reaper. She patiently explained, “Do you think that the totem armor is as simple as a transformative armor that can be stored in your body at any time?
“It is alive and well. It is the blessing of the ancestral spirit. It is the strongest crystallization of the will of Turan warriors over the generations. It contains endless experience, skills, killing intent, and the desire to conquer!
“If the broken armor that has just been removed from the body of the totem beast has not been installed by anyone yet, which is equivalent to a blank plate, everything will be fine. When you have installed such a ‘blank plate’, the most you will see in your mind will be images of totem beasts roaring in the mountains and forests.
“However, if you are confused and have seized and installed a ‘broken armor of hundreds of battles’ that has been passed down for thousands of years and had hundreds of masters, the thrilling scenes of the battles of hundreds of masters, including the agony when they died on the battlefield, will be flooding into your brain like a flood.
“Believe me, even if you search through all the magical books in the land of Holy Light, you won’t be able to find enough words to describe the feeling of being in so much pain that you wish you were dead. You’ll never be able to withstand it!”
“So it’s like this. In other words, the totem armor isn’t just a liquid metal. It’s also used some incredible method to seal countless… heroic spirits that can last for thousands of years?”
Meng Chao muttered to himself in his heart.
The light in the depths of his eyes became more and more scorching and sharp.
“Then what do I have to do to possess these… battle-scarred armors that are shrouded by hundreds of generations of masters and endless killing intent?” He was extremely daring as he continued to ask without giving up.
Ice Storm could not help but rub her temples.
She had a slight headache.
She felt that ever since the Reaper appeared, the situation that was already out of control was getting increasingly out of control.
“It’s either you have the support of wealthy clans like Blood Hoof and Ironhide, so they naturally have secret medicines and witchcraft that have been passed down for thousands of years. It can help totem warriors control the endless killing intent in the ancient worn armors… Or your nerves are even tougher than the chains made of steel, and your spirit power is unimaginably strong, to be able to obtain the approval of hundreds of generations of warriors.”
Ice Storm sighed. “It’s impossible for you to possess both of these things. So, promise me that you will dispel this crazy and foolish idea of yours. It doesn’t matter if you die or not. Don’t cause me any trouble. At the very least, don’t cause me any more trouble until my own troubles are resolved!”
“An incomparably powerful spirit energy… has obtained the recognition of the endless killing intent deep within the armor…”
Meng Chao turned a deaf ear and fell into deep thought.
Ice Storm had decided that no matter what, she would give this guy a fierce scratch today!
But at that moment, a brand new war drum sounded on the arena.
Two people, one beast, and three mutilated corpses were hastily cleaned up. On the pool of blood that had yet to solidify, a brand new and even more exciting battle was about to begin.
In fact, this was the main competition today. It was a battle between two totem warriors.
The battle between the rat people and Totem beasts just now was just the warm-up before the show began.
Ice Storm’s eyes lit up.
“The next battle will be a battle between two armored warriors. According to the agreement between the two sides, the winner not only has the right to take away the loser’s totem armor, but also can help their own family. In the Battle of Glory, from the loser’s family, they will get part of the command and the spoils of war. So, both sides will definitely go all out. Open your eyes wide and see clearly the strength of the armored warriors!”
She raised the tip of her nose and said to Meng Chao.
In the cheers that were ten times more intense than before, two armored warriors flew onto the stage.
One of them was a wild boar man. Although he was not as strong and overbearing as the members of the Ironhide Clan, his tusks were raised high, and his two small eyes were emitting a faint red light, revealing his fierce appearance.
The other side represented a certain Turan clan, but it was not a Turan warrior. Instead, it was a tigerman covered in bright golden fur. He was only wearing a horn helmet that was stained with blood.
Meng Chao’s spirits were lifted.
He had heard from the experienced Spider that when warriors from different cities, villages, and settlements gathered together to form a mighty army, in order to avoid disagreeing with each other… when things that refused to obey orders appeared, they would often use a gladiator to determine the formation of the troops, the ownership of the command, and the distribution of the spoils of war.
When the two families wanted to combine forces, they would first send out two or two teams of warriors. Using a fair competition, they would decide who was the commander, who was the vanguard, and who was the treasurer.
If there were more families that wanted to form a larger alliance army, then they would continue to expand the scale of the duel. Whoever had the biggest fist would have the final say.
Carrying out such a duel in the Blood Skull Arena meant that the Blood Hoof Clan and so many people present were witnesses, and it was impossible for them to deny it.
Therefore, both sides would do their best and fight to the death!
