Chapter 98 Jet Propulsion
  The huge body of "Kraken" struggled in feeble pain as its tentacles were broken. Taking advantage of this opportunity, a large number of fearless soldiers also rushed forward, surrounding the body of "Kraken", trying to limit its power. action.

With the loss of a long tentacle, "Kraken"'s attack is no longer as omnidirectional as before, but gradually reveals flaws, allowing Lin Yi to control the fearless soldiers to approach it sideways and surround it. .

A large number of fearless soldiers surrounded the huge body of "Kraken", making it unable to move. At the same time, the fearless soldiers close to the soft tissue part, under the control of Lin Yi, waved their sickle limbs and killed the other tentacles of the "Kraken".

The huge body of "Kraken" even stopped struggling for a moment, its tentacles were retracted, and its shell was straight forward, not knowing what to do.

The next second, only a series of weak muffled sounds were heard. Then, in the funnel structure of "Kraken", which was the same as an ordinary straight-fall corner stone, but magnified countless times, an extremely strong water flow was accompanied by a large number of bubbles and shock waves. Gushing out!

Following this powerful recoil, the huge body of "Kraken" suddenly knocked away several fearless soldiers blocking the front of the shell, and even penetrated the body of one of them.

Under the dual action of the sharp shell tip and strong thrust, the fearless soldier's exoskeleton, which looked extremely strong in front of the straight helical stone, was torn straight apart like a hot knife cutting through butter, and the blue horseshoe crab blood followed " The progress of Kraken's body spread in the sea, drawing an arc.

The shell of the "Kraken" shook twice with a flexibility that was inconsistent with its size. The huge penetration force tore the body of the Dreadnought along the point of penetration - another Dreadnought torn into two pieces. The remains of the turtle fell towards the seabed.

As if rocket boost was activated, the huge body of "Kraken" crossed a water line, temporarily leaving the battlefield, and circled outside the field, preparing to launch the next round of attacks.

Most of the troops from both sides are now concentrated in this sea area. From time to time, adults of the Straight Horned Stone and fearless soldiers come from the areas occupied by their respective nests for reinforcements and fight in one place.

The crimson blood and the blue horseshoe crab blood were mixed together, making the waves thick and turbid. During this period, due to the loss of the inkjet horn stones, the swordfish-shaped Hed shrimp and the full-toothed Hed shrimp of the anomaly shrimp nest also joined the battle. , making the battlefield more chaotic.

Since they are unable to cause damage to the "Kraken", the main task of the full-toothed Hed shrimp and the swordfish-shaped Hed shrimp is to attack ordinary straight helical rocks. The blade of the sword slashed, the appendages opened and closed, the mouth cone bloomed, and the adult straight-horned stones died on the spot.

At the same time, from time to time, the body of the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp was entangled with more straight spiral stones, torn in half, and fell downwards with tissue fluid surging.

At this time, the full-tooth Hed shrimp is like a small fearless soldier, massacring among the snails. Every time its four-radiated mouth cone blooms like a drop of blood, it can harvest the life of an adult snail. .

While the outer battlefield was tense, the battle between the fearless soldiers and the "Kraken" became increasingly fierce.

Amidst the continuous muffled sounds, the huge body of the "Kraken" broke away from the battle group at an unimaginable speed. The funnel structure that sprayed bubbles to form a wake rotated, allowing the huge body of the "Kraken" to turn around in the sea. A circle, crossing a water line.

At the rear, Lin Yi controlled the fearless soldiers to form a dense formation, trying to use his flesh and blood to block the "Kraken"'s charging pace and restrict its movement to facilitate the fearless soldiers to launch an attack.

But soon, he discovered that he was wrong. The huge body of "Kraken" came with a white trail composed of a large number of bubbles. The sharp tip of the shell flashed a little cold light in the water, and stabbed the fearless soldier head-on from the front.

Under Lin Yi's control, the Dreadnought soldiers waved their sickle limbs and rushed forward, but the next second, the huge body of "Kraken" came with water waves, and the lance-like shell did not wait for the Dreadnought soldiers. The snake's sickle limbs closed and penetrated the body of the fearless soldier.

The fearless soldier's solid exoskeleton was immediately torn from the middle and penetrated. As the blue horseshoe crab blood surged, "Kraken" had already abandoned its body that had been stabbed in half and continued to move forward.

The speed of "Kraken" was very fast. Before the azure blood gushing from the corpse of the first fearless soldier had dissipated, the body of the second one was penetrated and torn apart by "Kraken" in the same way.

Then came the third and fourth. Lin Yifang felt something was wrong and controlled the remaining fearless soldiers to disperse, but it was already too late. The huge body of "Kraken" penetrated six fearless soldiers in succession under the action of unknown thrust, and Lin Yicai controlled the remaining fearless soldiers to disperse.

The blue horseshoe crab blood spread together with the crimson blood gushing from the broken tentacles of the "Kraken", and was quickly washed away by the strong water jets from the funnel structure of the "Kraken".

Such continuous and powerful jets are not something that ordinary water jet propulsion systems that rely on muscle pumps can achieve. Lin Yi couldn't help but think of the continuous muffled sound. After all, the right spiral stone nest group was the first to start. It is not incomprehensible for the one who plays with sodium to do such tricks.

Whether it relies on sodium for propulsion, Lin Yi has no way of knowing. But what he can confirm is that this method of propulsion must consume some kind of "fuel."

Moreover, judging from the reaction of the right helical stone nest group, the "fuel" of this second propulsion system that was upgraded based on the original water jet propulsion system may not be much stored. Therefore, the "Kraken" is touching the wrist. This second propulsion system was turned on only after one was cut off.

Thinking about it, Lin Yi also gave up his previous plan of trying to stop the fearless soldiers with enough numbers, and instead spread out to delay as much time as possible.

Once the opponent's fuel reserves are exhausted, Lin Yi's opportunity comes - thinking of sodium, he immediately thinks of the brand new adhesive self-destruction level.

The explosive power of this level may not be able to cause fatal damage to the shell of the "Kraken", but if it touches the wrist, things are still unclear. As he thought, a plan immediately formed in his mind.

The "Kraken" was still spraying a wake of bubbles, walking back and forth on the battlefield, piercing the bodies of the fearless soldiers from time to time. And more fearless soldiers dispersed to clean up the surrounding ortholithic adult bodies, clearing space for subsequent plans.

As time went by, sure enough, the wake ejected by the "Kraken" became weaker and weaker, and the speed gradually slowed down. Lin Yi knew that this meant that the opponent's propulsion fuel was gradually exhausted. Next, he It's time to play.
