Chapter 578: Showing Off!
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
Li Yao looked ahead and immediately noticed dozens of excessively large tanks from the Giant Axe Tribe that had hundreds of drums placed on them . Countless brawny men, who wore nothing on their upper body, were hitting the drums hard!
The heavy drumming together with the fulmination of spiritual gas allowed the qi-trainers of the Giant Axe Tribe to activate their spiritual gas at the same time . Although there were only several thousand of them, they were marching forward slowly but surely as if they were an army of tens of thousands of soldiers!
Li Yao secretly commended them . The armies of the six tribes of Iron Plateau had their own distinctive characteristics, but all of them were well-trained and obedient to commands . Many of their battle formations were even more advanced than those of the Heaven's Origin Sector .
Cultivators in the Heaven's Origin Sector would join the battles against the Blood Demon Sector based on the 'war system' . But essentially, the system was designed to maximize and make best use of their personal combat ability; it was not really fit for a great war that often required well-ordered teamwork .
Enlisting the Cultivators with high personal combat ability into thoroughly organized battle formations was a headache for every leader in the world of Cultivators, especially commanding them like a real army while not preventing the Cultivators from using their best techniques . Both the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector had failed to find a good solution to the dilemma .
But the qi-trainers on Iron Plateau had discovered a unique way .
The leadership of the three tribes, including Xiong Wuji, rushed toward the three new teams of tanks .
In the meantime, countless young qi-trainers wandered out from the other three tribes and shuttled around the Furious Bears Tribe's team on their agile and swift single tanks . They were yelling and roaring with arrogant expressions, as if they were trying to provoke the Furious Bears Tribe intentionally .
Li Yao glanced questioningly at Wu Mayan .
Wu Mayan explained, "This is a tradition of Iron Plateau . Every battle against the apocalypse is the time when all the experts of the six tribes gather . As long as one distinguishes themself in battle, their name will be heard all over Iron Plateau!
"Therefore, before each battle, many unknown qi-trainers will come out and show off in order to provoke the other tribes, especially the 'landlord' . They are implying that, although this is our territory, they are going to make the greatest contributions in the battle to come no matter what!
"Valiancy is what matters most on Iron Plateau . We must fight back such provocations . Let's consider it a warm-up before the battle of apocalypse!"
His eyes bloodshot, Wu Mayan gazed at the single tank that was galloping at a high speed in the lead .
Li Yao squinted and discovered that the flag of the Burning Sun Tribe was on the back of the tank .
It appeared that Wu Mayan still remembered how the three tribes had visited Furious Bears Tribe and insisted that he and Sha Yulan be banished .
The knight of the Burning Sun Tribe in the lead was excellently controlling the tank . His single tank was moving toward left and then right, like a catkin in the wind, while he slashed his saber so fast that thousands of streams of silver brightness flooded out of the vehicles . He even drove under the heavy tanks of the Furious Bears Tribe from one side and crawled out from the other side dangerously, raising roars of applause .
Wu Mayan bellowed and accelerated suddenly toward the knight of the Burning Sun Tribe . He waved the flag of the Furious Bears Tribe hard and crossed his opponent's flag of the Burning Sub Tribe!
This was the way to answer someone's provocation on Iron Plateau!
BOOM! BOOM!
Intense white smoke spurted out of the back of the two True Qi tanks, with flames vaguely mixed in them . The fulminations of the two vehicles were even noisier than those of heavy tanks .
At first, they drove next to each other . Then they started to try to go faster than their opponent, and whoever was in front would spurt the gas right into the other person's face .
The two of them had officially pissed each other off and were ready for a competition!
As more than a hundred thousand qi-trainers had gathered in the desert, there were bound to be young and ambitious warriors whose fighting will was soaring now that a life-and-death battle was approaching . It was only reasonable that such minor conflicts had burst out .
Over the past hundreds of years, such competitions before battles had already become a tradition . As long as nobody was killed, everybody was free to do what they wanted . Also, the competitions greatly helped boost the morale of the army .
Naturally, the winners of the competition were excited and more confident than before after they secured the victory, and those who failed would also feel ashamed and would try to win back their pride in the battle to come . Therefore, they were often particularly fearless later .
Even for the spectators, the hotblooded competitions were beneficial for them to release some tension before the battle .
It was a valuable lesson that had been passed on generation after generation for hundreds of years . Nobody stopped them . Instead, seeing that the two of them were challenging each other, all the other qi-trainers shouted and cheered . The drumming tanks of the Giant Axe Tribe worked even harder and started playing a blood-boiling battle hymn!
Wu Mayan and the knight of the Burning Sun Tribe went faster and faster and soon surpassed the vanguard, leading the way in the desert .
The desert was full of peril . Although the ground seemed normal, it was quite possible that the underground demon beasts had sabotaged and created countless empty chambers below the earth . Also, the seemingly solid ground could very well be a thin layer of rock that covered a bottomless abyss, opened up by the apocalypse's ravaging of the land!
The anti-gravity technology of Iron Plateau was very underdeveloped . Most of the tanks had to ride close to the ground . For super-large tanks weighing hundreds of tons, they would be destroyed together with the passengers on them should they fall into a pit or an abyss .
Therefore, in front of the main troops, there were vanguards who were driving single tanks that had been equipped with special probe magical equipment, which hit the ground continuously . They were able to determine whether or not the ground was solid enough for the main troops to pass over by listening to the echoes .
