Chapter 267 The Impaler

Five black thorns, hard and sharp, emerged from the ground silently and without any warning. Each one was one meter apart and almost pierced out at the same time. The three thorns at the front accurately pierced the chassis of the tank under Moria's feet, not only making a huge sound. There was a crashing sound, and the tank weighing dozens of tons was actually tilted up by the spiked front end. Although it was only a few centimeters above the ground, the power was quite exaggerated. Even if a gold-level power professional lifted it up with all his strength, at most This is the only way to achieve this effect.

Fortunately, I don’t know whether it was due to preparation during the design or whether it was an accidental collision. The chassis of the tank is very strong. It was pierced by such sharp spikes with exaggerated force. The chassis was not pierced, although it left a deep mark. Scars, but effectively protected the internal facilities.

"Concentrate on me." Hearing the warning of the enemy's attack, Xiuer had already issued an order before he even saw the attack, "Wei, disperse and retreat, and keep the vehicles in formation."

No one questioned this sudden order. According to everyone's experience, when encountering a surprise attack, the best way to respond is to rush forward, while retreating is the most inappropriate choice, because ambushes usually wait until their prey falls into a trap. To launch an attack, and the intensity of the attack from the rear is often higher than from the front, it is to take advantage of the normal people's mentality of retreating and avoiding, and launch a fatal attack when the prey thinks it is safe.And if you rush forward, you can catch the ambusher off guard, and you can often tear open the ambush circle of the ambusher.

But an order is an order. Since you recognize the identity of the commander, you must abide by the order during war. There is absolutely no doubt. Even if you know it is wrong, you must grit your teeth and go down the wrong road, unless this wrong order will inevitably lead to Threatening one's own life safety.Therefore, after hearing Shuuer's order, the five mercenaries on top of the tank jumped directly from the medium-speed war machine and rushed back to the top of the truck occupied by Shuuer as quickly as possible. The truck and tank did not even have time to turn. None, the transition from forward to reverse went directly. Even if the machine parts made a piercing cry, they had to evacuate the ambush point as soon as possible.

Xiuer knew that his order was absolutely correct, and the perceived hostility in his consciousness did not respond, indicating that these bugs were not consciously ambush, they were purely relying on instinct to launch a piercing attack on any creature that approached, otherwise, if the ambush was caused by bugs The endless malice controlled by the queen of the group will definitely give me a severe headache.Because of this, Shuer dared to issue orders that were contrary to common sense.

However, the order came a step too late. In fact, when the spikes pierced the ground, it was already too late.

Because there is not one, but dozens of spiked bugs hidden underground, and there are not five spikes sticking out of the ground, but hundreds. The first five are just the vanguard.

Taking the first black thorn out of the ground as a signal, a dense forest of thorns suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes. Hundreds of thorns drilled out of the ground almost at the same time, turning the area of ​​dozens of square meters into a forest of needles. Thorny hell.The black thorn did not stab out only once, but kept repeating the action of withdrawing and thrusting out, once a second, with an alarming frequency.

With such a dense piercing attack, as long as they enter the attack range, I am afraid no one can escape. If they did not retreat in time, at least half of the tanks and one heavy truck would be stabbed into fishing nets, unlike now, which is guaranteed to be large. Some vehicles are safe and sound.

However, while several vehicles managed to escape with a few obvious scratches on their chassis, the first tank belonging to Moria was not so lucky, as it was the first to enter the range of the Black Thorn. The vehicle was also the first target of all piercing attacks. After being stabbed dozens of times in two to three seconds, the chassis was finally penetrated by spikes. Long spikes penetrated from the top hatch. Come out and thread the tank on it like a piece of meat on a wooden stick.Immediately, a large number of spikes tore through the tank's armor one after another, leaving it riddled with holes.

"Warning, warning, the energy cabin was penetrated, the control room was penetrated, the tank started the self-destruct procedure, and exploded after ten seconds, please evacuate nearby friendly troops as soon as possible, please evacuate as soon as possible."

The tank was like an insect nailed to a wooden board. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape from the shackles of the spikes. Following Wei's alarm, drastic changes in energy began to occur inside the tank. Needless to say, this must be a precursor to self-destruction. .

"Find a bunker, lie down, and avoid the explosion." Shuer didn't know how powerful the tank explosion would be, but he knew that the energy purity of the crystal energy was quite high. Once the energy went out of control and exploded, the power would probably not be greater than that of Pavati. The explosion of the highest [-] ter crystals is inferior. Think of the legendary scene of the explosion of [-] ter crystals. Tsk, I hope the outer shell of the tank can withstand it, otherwise once even the outer shell is blown to pieces, it will be blown away. Large pieces of metal can become the most terrifying weapons.

"Warning, warning, the ammunition compartment is penetrated, the ammunition compartment is penetrated, and the explosion..."

"Boom", before Wei could finish her warning, a pillar of fire rose into the sky, and violent explosions resounded across the plains.

The main body of the tank was made of strong special metal and withstood the high pressure and impact caused by the explosion. However, the turret and hatch cover above were not so strong. They were torn into pieces from the inside under the strong pressure and were sprayed out. Flames and spreading shock waves were shot out in all directions at high speeds, so fast that even the dynamic vision of high-level experts had trouble catching them.

Fortunately, Shuer had ordered cover before, and the high-level mercenaries outside had immediately got down behind the heavy truck, otherwise it was difficult to say whether anyone would be injured.Nowadays, the flying metal fragments failed to hurt anyone. They just kept hitting the surrounding tanks and heavy trucks, making a continuous ringing sound.

"Ah~~~", a scream came from the compartment of the first truck. The scream had just ended, and the crying of pain followed.

Following the sound, I saw that the truck was huge and blocked most of the flying metal fragments. Fortunately, the compartment wall was thick enough and was only pockmarked by the debris. However, two large fragments still broke through the defense of the compartment wall. , stuck on the metal wall.

"One car and two teams, one car and two teams." Pressing the communicator next to his ear, Shuer frowned and asked, "Explain the situation."

"Two pieces of metal pierced the exterior wall and one worker's thigh was torn apart and part of his bone was exposed."

"Small injury, bear with it. I'll treat him later." Shuer cut off the communication directly and stuck his head out at the risk of a secondary explosion. "Wei, let the tank fight back."

"Unable to lock the target, unable to launch a counterattack." "No need to lock, attack at will within the coverage of the Black Thorn, and all vehicles will retreat slowly to prevent the place from moving underground."

"Boom", the gun barrels of the five tanks spurted out fire at the same time, the explosion roared, and the dust flew. In the blink of an eye, there were several large craters on the ground. However, there were no corpses of any insects in the craters. Obviously, maybe the explosion did not Cause damage to the bugs, or keep them invisible until they die.

"Mia, stab."

"Dalu, Kai." A strange mantra came from the mouth of the mountain elf. Mia's fingers quickly formed a curse seal, and finally pointed to the ground.With a few bangs, more than a dozen rock spurs emerged from the surface. The spurs were thin at the top and thick at the bottom. They were very close to each other and covered a large area.

"That's them." Shuer was naturally referring to the mechanical bugs that were twisted on the ground thorns.These bugs are familiar to everyone. They are strange bugs that look like spiders but only have five legs. We saw them in the video of the bug swarm outside the cave spider's lair a few days ago. Mia also brought one back and had it dissected by Mirity herself. .At that time, no one expected that such inconspicuous insects, which seemed to have no attack power at all, would have such terrifying power once they got into the soil.

"Come again, Mia."

"No, they are not concentrated. It would be too expensive to dig them all out." Mia also spoke very quickly. Now is not the time to chat. The location of the convoy has been discovered by the insect swarm. Without even thinking about it, The next step will definitely be a swarm of insects coming in like a tide.

"Moria, you said that day..."

"Hey, I know." Lin Jing's upper body still maintains the posture of a beautiful woman, but her lower body has turned into a thick tree trunk. The roots of the tree are deeply rooted in the soil, firmly fixing the body to the surface. "In the underground world, Nothing escapes the entanglement of plant roots.”

It can't be seen from the outside, but everyone can imagine the picture underneath. Countless tree roots are spreading forward crazily, surrounding the bugs from all directions. A group of bugs dare not get out of the ground but have nowhere to escape. They can only They huddled together and shivered.

"Oops, it's not long enough, the distance is a little off."

"Hey, are you kidding me?" Xiuer felt that he was an idiot for thinking this guy was so serious.

"Yeah, I'm just joking, yoyo, I caught you, come out."

The next moment, countless roots emerged from the ground and danced crazily into the air. A dozen five-legged piercing insects were bundled into a ball by the roots, and their five legs struggled in vain.

"Hey, do you want to eat? How do you cook it?" Sometimes as soon as Moriya opens her mouth, the atmosphere will change subtly. No matter how serious the occasion is, she can disrupt the atmosphere.

"You can eat it, raw." Xiuer rolled his eyes and was too lazy to share her knowledge. "Are you sure the ground has been cleared?"

"Well, sure." Moriya nodded, the roots suddenly tightened, tearing the bugs into several pieces, and then returned to the ground, and after a while, the four deer legs started kicking around again, "You are lying, life It doesn’t taste good at all, and I’m Luye, and you actually let me eat meat.”

"Wei, keep the formation moving at full speed. There is no need to hide anymore. Send another tank 50 meters in front of the convoy to attract firepower. Everyone get on board, Mia, Moria, and Mirity. If there are bugs blocking the road, Blast them away from a distance, Saff, you... hmm? Why did you take off your glasses?"

"It's okay, my glasses are a bit messy." The female swordsman put on her glasses again with a shy look, but it was obvious that she wasn't telling the truth.

"Forget it, it's weird." Xiure said loudly, no longer having time to worry about the problem with his glasses, "Be ready for a head-on battle at any time. After holding back for so many days, let's have a big fight."

"Oh!!!"
