Chapter 147: The Winged Race
Chapter 147: The Winged Race
Just as Li Qian was sprinting towards the east, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted behind him, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"Is this your trump card?" Li Qian heard the terrifying blast and even felt the shockwave from the explosion as it blew past him.
He muttered to himself and silently increased his speed slightly.
The exoskeleton suit had already reached its maximum velocity.
Li Qian could see a red exclamation mark on the flexible display inside the suit, indicating that the energy was almost depleted.
However, he didn't pay it any mind as he suddenly leaped into the air.
In an instant, he found himself a hundred meters above the ground.
A green-scaled serpentine beast, Qi Zai, soared and landed precisely beneath his feet.
Thanks to Qi Zai's presence, Li Qian wasn't concerned about the energy consumption of the exoskeleton suit.
Qi Zai's flying speed with the Dragon Soar skill was not much slower than the exoskeleton suit, and perhaps even surpassed it.
After leaping onto Qi Zai's back, Li Qian's mind stirred, and the exoskeleton suit transformed back into reactive metal, instantly shrinking into a medal-like accessory on his arm.
This was the Federation's more advanced reactive metal exoskeleton suit, and it indeed had its unique features.
While it didn't offer much enhancement for companion beasts, it provided a substantial boost to more fragile beastmasters.
Li Qian contemplated, deciding that he should buy a higher-end reactive metal exoskeleton suit with better defensive capabilities once he returned to Zhonghai City.
That way, his personal battlefield survival abilities would significantly improve.
As he was thinking, the explosion had passed, and the wind and waves it had stirred up had subsided.
Li Qian continued to command Qi Zai, flying eastward at an incredible speed.
He didn't fly too high, mainly to avoid attracting the enemy's attention.
Just as Li Qian unconsciously linked the events happening behind him and speculated about the possible fate of the beautiful woman... a strange object suddenly fell from the sky above.
The object was plummeting straight towards his head, at an alarming speed.
Fortunately, Li Qian was standing on Qi Zai's back, and the latter's speed was also impressive, with agile and flexible movements.
Upon sensing the approaching object, Li Qian didn't hesitate to command Qi Zai, narrowly avoiding the falling object.
Bang! The object, which seemed to be a humanoid figure, crashed to the ground in front of them, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Damn, what the hell was that?"
Li Qian dodged the falling humanoid object and couldn't help but exclaim.
He directed Qi Zai to quickly approach the impact site, where a small crater had formed.
In the crater, Li Qian saw a person, face down, looking rather disheveled.
The most peculiar thing, to Li Qian, was that this person had a pair of wings growing from their back!
A pair of pristine white wings!
Looking at the prone figure in the crater, a question mark appeared on Li Qian's forehead. "What kind of companion beast, bird-human, or angel is this?"
Since his arrival in this world, Li Qian had never slacked off in his studies. While he might not have read countless books, he had undoubtedly read far more than an average high school student, especially regarding cultivation.
Because of this, his knowledge far surpassed that of an ordinary high school student.
He knew that among the various types of companion beasts, there was a large category known as humanoid beasts, characterized by their human-like appearance. Some even possessed intelligence rivaling that of humans, capable of understanding human language and literacy. The most typical examples were the Mermaid, the Sea Serpent, the Dragonkin, and the Avian.
It was precisely because of this that when Li Qian saw the strange humanoid creature in the pit, his first thought was of an Avian companion beast.
As he drew closer, Li Qian noticed something extraordinary.
It was a reactive metal battle armor suit! Incredibly, this Avian was covered in a reactive metal battle armor suit! Seeing this, Li Qian was utterly perplexed. After all, he also wore a reactive metal battle armor suit, identical to the Avian in the pit.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
Perhaps due to severe damage, the reactive metal battle armor suit quickly retracted, revealing the true form beneath.
It was a woman with waist-length hair.
The woman had a good figure, and from the back, her hips were quite perky.
However, at this moment, she lay in the pit in a spread-eagle position, looking rather pitiful.
Li Qian swore that he didn't mean to stare, but perhaps due to the fall from the sky or an intense battle, when the reactive metal battle armor suit retracted, the woman's clothes were also damaged.
Moreover, the tear was precisely at the perky spot.
Li Qian swore on the little bird at his feet that he didn't mean to look, but that glimpse of white was hard to ignore.
It was hard not to notice!
Li Qian immediately composed himself, trying to control his wandering thoughts, and jumped down from the little bird's back.
He approached the pit, reached out, and picked up the woman.
Although she landed face-first, her face was covered in dust, but thanks to the protection of the reactive metal battle armor suit, her face didn't seem to be severely injured.
However, there was blood on the corner of her mouth.
Li Qian examined the dusty-faced woman, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was amiss.
"That's strange, this face seems somewhat familiar!"
After muttering to himself, Li Qian's heart suddenly jolted.
He wiped the dust from the woman's face.
The nose, the chin—the woman with wings in front of him was clearly the beautiful woman who had sat in front of him on the flying ship.
Upon recognizing the winged woman's identity, Li Qian understood why she had fallen from the sky.
She must have used some powerful ace or backup technique, severely injuring the enemy but getting caught in the aftermath herself.
At this thought, a look of relief appeared on Li Qian's face.
Thankfully, he had been decisive and chosen to leave her to fight the enemy alone.
If he had stayed to fight alongside her, there would have been more than just this woman falling from the sky.
As relief washed over him, a look of confusion also appeared on his face.
This woman was a typical human, and even with the wings, he couldn't help but feel that she didn't quite resemble a humanoid companion beast.
Suddenly, a word popped into his mind!
Wing Clan!
In that instant, his heart was filled with sudden realization.
At that moment, he finally understood why the Black God Sect's cultists had been so determined to attack this woman.
Turns out, she was a member of the Wing Clan!
