The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 87 The Sunken Dreadnought (2)

At this time, in order to deal with more self-detonating corner stone attacks, the formation of the fearless soldiers has been quite concentrated, covering each other. The same is true for the ordinary soldiers on the periphery, who are densely gathered together to intercept the impact of the self-detonating corner stones.

But more carrier corner stones cannot be stopped by ordinary soldiers alone. From time to time, self-exploding corner stones break through the defense line and kill the huge body of the fearless soldiers.

Muffled sounds were heard from time to time, and every time the sound was heard, it meant that the huge body of the fearless soldier had been hurt a little more seriously. The azure horseshoe crab blood spread and surged, leaving a trail behind it, indicating that the once indomitable and devastating huge dreadnought was about to sink.

The swing of the paddling feet gradually slowed down, and the water jet propulsion system had long been destroyed. Only the swim bladder-like structure derived from the gene fragment template of the corner stone air chamber was still holding the huge body afloat and preventing it from sinking.

The situation of the other two Dreadnaughts, one on the left and the other on the right holding up the injured kind, was not too bad. The aftermath of the explosion of the self-exploding corner stone no longer posed a threat to their exoskeletons, but the shock wave still made them feel a little uncomfortable.

But at this time, more figures joined the battle - the adult Straw Horn Stone, the surviving Nether Sea Horn Stone, and even the Carrier Horn Stone who was still alive after releasing the self-exploding Horn Stone he carried also stepped forward to face the two fearless soldiers who were supporting the injured of their kind. He launched an attack.

The remaining Dreadnaught soldiers were pinned down by the group of self-exploding corner stones and could not rush to help. The center of the battlefield gradually shifted to the injured Dreadnought soldiers.

The Zhiluojiao Stone Nest Group completely changed their tactics. Regardless of the complete defeat of the battle lines on both wings, they focused on breaking through Lin Yi's central defense line and killing the wounded fearless soldier.

And Lin Yi simply started outflanking from both wings. With all the self-exploding horn stones concentrated in the middle, the fearless soldier was able to exert his full strength without any scruples, opening and closing his well-developed sickle limbs to turn the straight horn stones into bodies. The shell was shattered and the soft tissue was minced.

In the middle, the battle became more intense. Blue and red blood surged out, and the figure of the self-exploding hornstone walked through the blood waves, killing the seriously injured fearless soldier. The adult and larvae of the straight hornstone waved their tentacles, trying their best to cover the self-detonating hornstone.

In the chaos, several more self-exploding corner stones approached the fearless soldier and exploded inside its fragile body. During the bursts of muffled sound, the inner shell of the fearless soldier was exposed by the explosion. For vertebrates, The injury was equivalent to a bone-deep injury.

Under the continuous siege of the Straight Spiral Angle Stone and the Carrier Angle Stone, Lin Yi had to control the fearless soldiers on both sides who were supporting the injured kind, letting go of the seriously injured kind, waving their sickles to join the battle.

And this is exactly what the right spiral stone nest group means. The seriously injured Dreadnought floated powerlessly in the water. A large number of horned stone individuals of various grades swarmed up, stabbing the shell and biting with their horny beaks, continuing to destroy the exposed flesh and blood of its exoskeleton where the self-exploding horned stone had blown away.

The inner shell of the double-layered shell protects most of the internal organs very well, making it look like the injuries are deep enough to show the bones. The terrifying and seriously injured Dreadnaught actually still has a small amount of counterattack ability.

However, its eyes are completely blind, and it can only barely identify the enemy's position with a pair of light-sensitive eyes on its head. Moreover, the water jet propulsion system was completely destroyed and it was unable to move forward at high speed.

But now the helical stones are surrounding them from all directions, a pair of well-developed sickle limbs are waving and tearing randomly, and the shells of several adult helical stones are embedded and shattered by the triangular pyramid-shaped blades.

The hardest part of the exoskeleton of the Fearless Soldier is the head shell and sickle limbs, as well as the blessing of two sets of muscle systems. Now even if he is seriously injured, his power is not reduced at all. It is also extremely difficult to destroy the right spiral stone nest group.

However, in order to cooperate with the water jet propulsion system, the book gills of the fearless soldier are not protected by the inner shell. When the water jet propulsion system is destroyed, the book gills are equivalent to being exposed to the sharp teeth of the right spiral stone nest group. Horny beak in front. During the fight, the side wound of the fearless soldier was hit by a right spiral stone, and the tip of the shimmering shell fiercely penetrated the water jet propulsion system and the granary.

The exposed flesh and blood was penetrated immediately, and the sharp tip of the shell penetrated straight into the inner shell, which was as strong as the outer shell. Only then did it make a clashing sound, and then stopped piercing inwards.

The gill structure was completely destroyed, blue horseshoe crab blood was mixed in his consciousness, and the signals sent back from the nervous system of the fearless soldier became weaker and weaker, representing the passage of its vitality.

At this time, the only good news is that it seems that after several rounds of consumption, the opponent's almost endless army of self-exploding corner stones has finally been wiped out.

When the last real self-explosive hornstone died in the explosion and was shattered into pieces together with the carrier hornstone, the fake self-explosion hornstones that were no longer effective also receded like the tide, just as they came in like a tide before.

But in the current state of the fearless soldier, it seems that there is no need to self-destruct the corner stone.

Under the control of the hive mind consciousness of the Strawhorn Hive, a large number of Strawhorn adults and carrier hornstones surrounded the seriously injured and dying huge body of the Dreadnaught Soldier. They used the suction cups on their wrists to suck up the Dreadnought Soldier's exoskeleton and sprayed water to propel the system. Get up and running.

All around, more corner stones were concentrated towards the middle, heavily surrounding the severely injured and incapacitated Dreadnaught Soldier. They used their bodies to block the attacks of the other Dreadnought Soldiers beside them, and to cover the seriously injured Dreadnought Soldier that was being dragged.

At this time, without the threat of self-exploding corner stones, the remaining fearless soldiers had no scruples and waved their sickle limbs to kill everyone in the group of straight spiral horn stones.

As the crimson blood surged, the number of adults of the snails gradually decreased, and the surviving Hed shrimp no longer needed to intercept the carrier scorpions and waved their appendages to join the battle.

Now, a large number of right spiral horn stones and carrier horn stones formed a huge sphere, surrounding the body of the seriously injured and dying fearless soldier.

On the periphery, more fearless soldiers and full-tooth Heder shrimps were biting on this huge ball, opening and closing their sickle limbs, biting with mouth cones, and smashing the shells or soft tissues of each helix. Crushed.

These right-angled stone nests that formed the ball no longer resisted. They concentrated on protecting the inner carrier corner stone and dragged the fearless soldier's body forward, heading straight towards the floating mother nest of the right-angled stone nest group.

But at this time, the sound waves emitted by the reconnaissance motherflies accompanying the team at the rear of the battlefield suddenly detected a signal of astonishing scale. In this era, such a huge echo signal was obviously the strength of the Straight Spiral Stone Nest Group.

This time, the troops of the Straight-Helical Stone Nest Group seemed to be approaching from multiple directions, and the scale was larger than the last time - perhaps in order to obtain the genetic sequence of the fearless soldiers, the hive mind consciousness of the Straight-Helical Stone Nest Group was completely crazy. Now, it has reached the point of risking everything at all costs.
