Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

For ordinary people, the delay would definitely not be perceptible, but for someone with sharp perception like Wang Tao, it was quite noticeable.

And Entangling Roots basically didn’t have this kind of delay, because oftentimes, Wang Tao didn’t need to command the Entangling Roots. The Entangling Roots were his clothes; he didn’t need them to move on their own, he just moved with them. They could fight on instinct.

For example, if Wang Tao was ambushed, he might not have even reacted in his mind, yet his hands had already moved to block the attack—that was the instinct of battle.

The Iron Beetles couldn’t do that, they were too big and too heavy. If Wang Tao didn’t issue commands to the Iron Beetles, it was like a car without an onboard computer—it couldn’t even move. Even if it could move, it would only be because Wang Tao was forcibly dragging it along.

Just now, he had heard someone say that the Iron Beetles were like a biological version of powered armor, and Wang Tao thought he was right.

Of course, most things have their drawbacks, but as long as their advantages outweigh their disadvantages, then they are considered good. The advantages of these Iron Beetles were obviously far greater than their disadvantages, and some shortcomings were only perceivable to Wang Tao...

Wang Tao had walked a round while clad in the Beetle Armor, becoming more familiar with it.

The current form of the Beetle Armor could be divided into two parts, one being the body and the other the shell.

The body consisted of arms, legs, and a head. It just looked a bit more ferocious.

The key was the shell, which Wang Tao felt probably had high defensive power. During battle, this shell could be used as a shield!

Perhaps due to its size and weight, there was no negative effect on speed in the Beetle Armor’s attributes, but in reality, it still affected the speed somewhat. However, this was a minor issue that could be adapted to over time.

Last of all, Wang Tao felt oddly exhilarated by this perspective—he towered above the others, who all looked like dwarves. It gave him a feeling that he could crush a swath of little dwarves with a single step...

What Wang Tao really wanted to test were its defense and combat capabilities, but now clearly wasn’t the right time.

After studying it for a while longer, Wang Tao finally deactivated the Beetle Armor’s armed status.

Click—

The Beetle Armor wriggled, transformed, and then rapidly began to shrink. Wang Tao’s figure became visible again.

Then, the Beetle Armor turned into the size of a palm and landed in Wang Tao’s hands.

"This should be okay, right? I can’t demonstrate the actual combat power here; that needs a real battle."

Wang Tao was also experiencing the Beetle Armor for the first time, and sparring with others could potentially injure someone if he wasn’t careful. The actual combat power had to be tested in real combat. @@novelbin@@

"..."

The crowd remained silent, their eyes on Wang Tao as if looking at a monster. No, to be precise, their eyes were fixated on the Beetle Armor in Wang Tao’s hands.

They were all extremely excited and exhilarated.

This "weapon" had surpassed their understanding, but no matter, it wasn’t an enemy, it was a tool to aid them!

If they had this kind of weapon, unless they encountered an enemy above Level 4 or a particularly formidable Level 4, wouldn’t they be able to stride through most situations?

"So this is a ’weapon’!"

"Damn impressive! I want one too!"

"Armed with the Beetle Armor, definitely the Strongest Fourth-Order Combat Power!"

...

"Here, take it."

Wang Tao didn’t think too much and directly tossed the Beetle Armor to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun hastily extended his hand.

At that moment, Gu Yun clearly perceived several extremely dangerous gazes on his back!

He held his breath, his eyes fixed on the Beetle Armor thrown by Wang Tao, though his ears were pricked up, ready to draw a gun for self-defense at any time.

He had never felt a second to be so long.

Thump—

The Beetle Armor finally landed in Gu Yun’s hands.

The murderous gazes felt tangibly real at that moment!

Gu Yun clenched the Beetle Armor tightly, suppressing the urge to draw his gun.

Suddenly, the feeling of danger vanished instantly, as if it had never existed. Everything just seemed like an illusion, but the cold sweat on Gu Yun’s back told him it was all real.

Whew—

Gu Yun heaved a sigh of relief inside, but his expression remained calm as if he hadn’t noticed anything. He even smiled at Wang Tao:

"Mr. Wang, how does it feel? How is the enhancement provided by this Beetle Armor?"

Wang Tao looked at Gu Yun somewhat surprised, then nodded.

"Feels great, the enhancement... very strong."

The brief moment had been crystal clear to Wang Tao.

When he had tossed the Beetle Armor to Gu Yun, except for Qu Shilin and Shang Heng, the look in everyone else’s eyes bore naked murderous intent!

It was as if they were telling Gu Yun: I’m going to kill you and take your Beetle Armor!

At that moment, Wang Tao thought Zhou Long and the others were about to take action, and he thought Gu Yun was about to strike back preemptively. That murderous intent, Gu Yun couldn’t have been oblivious to it.

But the outcome surprised Wang Tao, Zhou Long and the others didn’t act, not even stepping forward, and Gu Yun didn’t counterattack either, instead, he chatted merrily with Wang Tao as if he hadn’t felt anything at all.

After a moment of reflection, Wang Tao probably understood what had happened—

The others had intentionally shown their murderous intent, aiming to provoke Gu Yun into making the first move!

If Gu Yun opted to strike first out of fear, then he would be done for.

His strength was already the weakest, he couldn’t possibly beat the others. And if he initiated, then he wouldn’t have had the higher ground, giving the others a reason to attack him!
