Chapter 97 Hunting "Kraken"

More fearless soldiers surrounded the huge body of "Kraken" under the control of Lin Yi.

But the opponent only waved his tentacles. The flexible tentacles with suction cups and horny protrusions wrapped around the body of the fearless soldier, and then brought them to the mouth. The sharp horny beak opened and closed, and pulled each fearless soldier into the air. Bing Hao's exoskeleton broke open and his body was torn apart.

The blue horseshoe crab blood surged. Under the "Kraken" offensive, the number of Dreadnaught soldiers lost quickly exceeded the total number of Dreadnought soldiers lost in all previous battles.

The shortcomings of the straight horned stone tentacles no longer exist on this "Kraken". Its tentacles are flexible enough and have a suction cup structure, which is enough to allow each tentacle to attack independently, unlike the straight spiral horned stone that can only Ten tentacles wrap around a target.

The two longer tentacles opened their bows from left to right, wrapping around the two fearless soldiers, and brought their bodies to the mouth, biting their bodies into two pieces. The sharp horny beak collided with the composite armored exoskeleton, making bursts of harsh clicking sounds.

At this time, a large number of fearless soldiers had surrounded the body of "Kraken", waving their sickle limbs, and charged forward, trying to contain its movements.

Even if each tentacle controls a fearless soldier, it only has ten tentacles.

Moreover, only the two longer tentacles have enough power to control a fearless soldier alone, and the other eight shorter tentacles often require two or three to control a fearless soldier.

This means that the number of fearless soldiers that "Kraken" can deal with at the same time is only about five or six, and there are hundreds of fearless soldiers nearby!

Moreover, it only has one horny beak. Even if it controls five or six fearless soldiers at the same time, it can only bring them to its mouth one by one to kill them. This created an opportunity for Lin Yi to cause harm to him.

Under Lin Yi's control, more fearless soldiers took advantage of their fellow soldiers to buy time for them with their lives. They ran the water jet propulsion system and killed the nearby adult snails in an attempt to clean up the battlefield.

At this time, behind the army of straight spiral horn stones, several smaller and swift figures were running the water jet propulsion system, crossing the water lines to kill - they were self-exploding horn stones, and there was no doubt that they were all genuine.

But now, the appearance of self-exploding corner stones is meaningless. Even if there are no micro-hammers participating in the battle, the fearless soldiers who have suffered a large number of casualties are no longer afraid of the opponent's deterrence.

Lin Yi no longer hid, and controlled the fearless soldier to go directly upwards. He opened and closed the sickle limbs, clamped the shell of the self-exploding horn stone, and the huge force exploded from the two sets of muscle systems easily stored the shell and the sodium inside. The structure shatters.

A muffled sound was heard in the water, and a blade thorn on the fearless soldier's sickle limb was broken by the explosion, but other than that, no other damage was caused.

Seeing that the attack had no effect, the opponent no longer sent self-exploding horn stones, but continued to control a large number of straight spiral horn stones to fight with the fearless soldiers. To be precise, they tried to contain them as much as possible, waiting for the "Kraken" to free up its tentacles to solve the problem. These fearless soldiers.

But Lin Yi didn't give them a chance. The fearless soldiers, ordinary soldiers, and the micron torpedoes released by the fearless soldiers cooperated to smash the shells of the adult helical stones, or inject toxins into the soft tissues.

During the fight, the "Kraken" did indeed deal with the entangled fearless soldiers. It waved its tentacles and charged forward. Its unprecedentedly huge body set off waves of water, causing the micron torpedoes and even the ordinary soldiers to hold back just as they approached. Can't keep the body shape stable.

And more fearless soldiers also rushed forward, waving their sickle limbs and killing towards the base of "Kraken"'s tentacles. The clusters of triangular pyramid-shaped blades flashed with cold light, piercing straight into the tentacles of "Kraken". Similar to the carrier hornstone, the tentacles of "Kraken" are also densely covered with armor plates, but due to its huge size, these armor plates appear smaller and denser, which does not affect the flexibility of the tentacles.

But its defensive power is not bad at all, even more than the carrier horn stone. Even the sickle limb of the fearless soldier cannot cause fatal damage in a short period of time.

Red blood surged out, but to the huge "Kraken", it was just like a skin wound.

Immediately, the "Kraken"'s tentacles bent at an incredible angle, and directly bit down the fearless soldier that was hanging at the base of its tentacles and still vigorously moving its sickle limbs in an attempt to cause more damage.

The blue horseshoe crab blood gushed out together with the crimson blood, and the fishy smell of copper ions and iron ions mixed together, making the sea water become more and more turbid.

In the bloody waves, the huge body of "Kraken" still stood tall, and beside it, a large number of fearless soldiers were swarming up with their sickle limbs, blocking the horny beak of "Kraken" with their bodies, creating output for their companions. Opportunity.

From time to time, a wave of self-exploding corner stones swam out from behind and crashed into the fearless soldiers, trying to kill them more efficiently. Under the continuous explosions, many fearless soldiers were injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

But now, these fearless soldiers who had lost their combat effectiveness did not withdraw from the battlefield and wait for the opportunity to be rescued. Instead, they simply used their last strength to wave their sickle limbs to face the "Kraken" and launch a life-saving charge.

It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them. The same goes for "Kraken"'s tentacles. Rather than causing minor injuries to each tentacle, it would be better to completely cut off one of the two longest tentacles.

Under Lin Yi's control, the fearless soldiers aimed at the same long tentacle and fought hard, waving their sickle limbs and sword-like tail segments, carving the deepest possible scars on the tentacle, and even tried to Cut it off.

At this time, under the "Kraken" offensive, countless fearless soldiers were killed on the spot, but from the rear, more fearless soldiers were still rushing in one after another under the control of Lin Yi.

This is the case for individuals in hive mind consciousness clusters. As long as consciousness still exists, even if they fight to the last individual in the true sense, they will not flinch at all.

The surrounding adult snails had been completely lost under Lin Yi's attack. At this time, only a piece of the huge "Kraken" was left in the sea, still standing, waving its tentacles to greet each one. The fearless soldiers who came forward killed him.

Under Lin Yi's unremitting attack, the injury at the base of the longer tentacle of "Kraken" that he focused on became more and more serious.

Gradually, the well-developed tentacles stained with unknown amounts of azure horseshoe crab blood were no longer able to wave, and could only hang down under the body, swaying with the waves.

Finally, with the final blow, the huge body of "Kraken" shuddered, its thick and long tentacles broke, and it fell feebly toward the seabed, trailing a trail of red blood!
