Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 490 - 243: Desolate Wolf Warrior vs. Rock Horse Warrior (2)
Based on Li Hao, that old fox’s actions, he definitely won’t stay indifferent. Even if he knows the Life Farm behind him will make some moves, he’ll still prepare corresponding defense strategies.
First, there’s the early duel, which Lin Feng had already anticipated. So when he received the news, he wasn’t too surprised.
The early duel not only disrupts the plans on the church’s side but also gives him more time to respond. If something goes wrong, he can still make a quick escape.
Secondly, completely giving up on Li Mingquan.
This was also a conclusion Lin Feng reached after confirming Li Mingquan’s participation.
As long as Li Mingquan mentions support from the diocese of Holy City, he will definitely arouse Li Hao’s suspicion.
Because to obtain such highly confidential information, unless he was seriously considering betraying his family to join the church, perhaps even suggesting to Li Hao to take a part of the clan and resources to secretly head over to Holy City.
To preserve a bloodline for the family.
In case something happens here, the Li Family can continue to exist and develop over there.
And if the uprising in Oasis Town succeeds, Li Mingquan can also act as an internal informer in Holy City, assisting the family and the Oasis Battleship in evading the Holy Spring Sect’s pursuit.
If he so much as mentions it, then in Li Hao’s eyes, he’s no different from a traitor, even if Li Mingquan’s words are indeed a correct risk-spreading strategy for the Li Family...
But he hasn’t fully realized that in Li Hao’s eyes, the entire Li Family, thousands of people, are merely tools on his evolutionary path.
The reason Li Hao used his power and bloodline to cultivate the family is so that one day he can sell it for a good price.
And advancing to Late-Tier Two with the hope of reaching even higher Tier Three King stage, is the best trade.
So Li Hao will probably pacify Li Mingquan, letting him finish the match first, and no matter win or lose, will falsely promise him a post-match trip to Holy City.
But in reality, the win or loss of this match doesn’t matter one bit to Li Hao.
Winning is naturally best, but losing doesn’t bother him either.
The key is to use this opportunity to probe the church’s cards and true intentions.
In order to formulate the subsequent two counter-strategies.
To achieve this end, the Rock Horse Armor piloted by Li Mingquan, must have been tampered with in advance, and under Li Hao’s control, it will release the Ascension Potion, pushing the armor and Li Mingquan to their limits.
Forcing the opponent to exert full strength.
Thus confirming whether the power upper limit of the church poses any threat to Li Hao himself.
That way he can determine if he can participate in the following two duels.
According to Lin Feng’s thinking, the church on this side can dispatch two early-stage priests, and the most powerful Su An amplification, barely able to contend against Li Hao.
So as long as Li Hao fights three matches in a row, he can steadily win the contest.
After all, dealing with two Early Tier Two existences, Li Hao, with his Level 26 evolutionary power, can easily suppress and defeat the early-stage novice priest even without using the Ascension Potion.
Even a Tier Two Desolate Wolf Warrior modified with Desert Wolf Source Material, with only early-stage power, still can’t threaten a Mid-Tier Two, fully armed Rock Horse Warrior.
The only problem is, if Li Hao fights three matches in a row, his own condition will be affected.
Especially when he participates in the first match, the church in the second match will definitely dispatch Father Su An to challenge Li Hao or defeat the Li Family’s Tier Two early Rock Horse Warrior...
In short, either Li Hao exhausts himself in advance, or he loses one match.
So no matter the situation, it’s better to let Li Mingquan lose this one in advance, as long as it forces the opponent’s Tier Two Desolate Wolf Warrior to use all its strength, Li Hao can estimate how strong a modified Father Su An can be.
If it can truly match Li Hao, perhaps the first to flee will be Li Hao, who initiated this forced coup and firmly opposed the church.
At this moment, Lin Feng saw this and asked:
"Can the Tier Two Battle Grand Priest sent by the church confidently defeat the Level 22 Rock Horse Warrior?"
The Great Assistant Priest frowned briefly but quickly relaxed. After all, for the Desolate Wolf Source Material modification plan to be successfully implemented, it depended on the man before him going to the Taishan Ruins to finally secure enough Desert Wolf Source Material.
Father Su An must have already gone over the general plan with the other party.
It’s only natural that Lin Feng knows about the Tier Two Desolate Wolf Warrior.
But regarding this matter, as the Deputy Captain in charge of the Oasis Battleship, the Great Assistant Priest doesn’t know much.
Her responsibility doesn’t lie in evolutionary research.
So she could only shake her head and reply honestly:
"I don’t know, I’m not the assistant priest in charge of this. Father Su An knows more than I do. You might want to ask him first."
Lin Feng was slightly taken aback:
"Can we contact him now?"
The Great Assistant Priest naturally looked at the man:
"Of course, if we can receive the wireless messages from over there, we can surely send them back as well."
"Don’t worry about eavesdropping. This technology, the indigenous people like the Li Family, can’t possibly master it. The main radio and encryption needed for setup allow for message reception and transmission."
"It’s a pity that Oasis Town is so remote, plus the energy interference from Scorching Sun. Otherwise, we could have established real-time telephone communication like in Holy City."
Lin Feng didn’t mind this. He immediately had the Great Assistant Priest deliver a message to Father Su An:
"Tell Su An that the pilot inside the Rock Horse Armor is Li Hao’s grandson, Li Mingquan, and he doesn’t want a mutual destruction."
"But the control of the Rock Horse Armor is in Li Hao’s hands. He will definitely release the Ascension Potion, pushing the armor to its ultimate explosive state."
"At that time, don’t let the Tier Two priest endure it. Even with Early Tier Two, Level 20 status, and the addition of the Desert Wolf Bloodline, they can’t contend against the Mid-Tier Two battle power of the Rock Horse Armor."
"Activating the Desert Wolf Bloodline hastily and speeding up the assimilation will only cause the grand priest who transformed into a Desert Wolf Warrior to gradually lose sanity, be influenced by the Desert Wolf Gene, fall into a frenzy of killing, and let the battle be driven by the Rock Horse Warrior."
"At that point, it’s not just a match being lost but also the grand priest’s life, which the Rock Horse Armor will end!"
"Once on the stage, Li Mingquan’s life is not his own!"
"Li Hao never intended for him to come back alive but to use his life so that the demon armor can evolve to a higher level!"
After hearing Lin Feng’s words, the Great Assistant Priest also realized the seriousness of the situation and promptly instructed her subordinates to relay Lin Feng’s warning, word for word, to Father Su An, ten kilometers away.
On the edge of the intensely contested platform, when Father Su An received his subordinates’ message, he showed a barely noticeable smile.
Then he looked towards the center of the platform with great confidence, where the Tier Two Grand Priest, donned in Undying Holy Armor, was continuously harassing the injured Rock Horse Warrior.
The grand priest was using his own speed advantage and that of the Holy Armor to skillfully dodge the Rock Horse Armor’s repeated strikes, and during the opponent’s pause, he used a melee weapon made from special materials to tear through the armor’s Tao Steel surface. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
If Lin Feng were here, he would definitely notice that the melee weapon in the Undying Holy Armor’s hand, with its blade edge shining coldly...
Was made of the same material as the Fine Steel Wolf Fang he once acquired.
Its hardness and sharpness, combined with the Tier Two Grand Priest and Undying Holy Armor’s explosive force of twenty to thirty tons, were enough to damage the early Tier Two Rock Horse Armor.
In the long run, the Rock Horse Warrior would surely lose the match.
And this situation was exactly what Father Su An wanted.
As for Lin Feng’s reminder, it had long been part of his plans and expectations.
The goal of the church in the first Tier Two match was never to win the contest or to probe the Li Family’s truth...
Nor was it to kill the opposing Tier Two Rock Horse Warrior.
But to destroy, this continuously evolving and upgrading Biological Demon Armor that can absorb defeated experiences!
