The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 99 The Ending Meat Grinder

The huge body of "Kraken" gradually slowed down, and the bubble-laden wake ejected by the propulsion system that consumed unknown fuel became weaker and weaker, until it finally stopped slowly.

Only the original water jet propulsion system is still running, pushing the body of "Kraken" without stopping. But compared to the powerful thrust that pushed the body through several fearless soldiers just now, it was far behind.

Countless fearless soldiers waved their sickles, surrounding the soft tissue parts of "Kraken"'s body from all directions, waving their sickles in an attempt to kill it.

Another group of adults with straight spiral horns came from behind, waving their tentacles to face the fearless soldiers who were coming. At the same time, the tentacles of "Kraken" slowly opened, and a large stream of ink spurted out from the funnel-shaped structure under its body.

It seems that the ink sac structure has also been installed on the body of "Kraken". It seems that the hive mind consciousness of the Helical Stone Hive Group plans to take advantage of the chaos to raid again.

The reconnaissance mother in the rear once again turned on the echolocation system, and the astonishing signal sent back by the huge body of "Kraken" once again appeared in his consciousness.

The other party's plan is destined to fail. In the echolocation system, the signal returned by "Kraken"'s huge body was as conspicuous as a bright light in the dark night, allowing Lin Yi to lock its position at any time.

On the contrary, the opponent, although I don't know what method they rely on to locate the target in the thick ink, it will inevitably be affected and will no longer be as accurate as visual inspection.

Under Lin Yi's control, several figures with swollen abdomens and crab-like horseshoe crabs swung the three pairs of paddling legs on their sides, operated the water jet propulsion system, rushed into the ink room, and killed under the guidance of the echo positioning system. The huge body of "Kraken".

The surrounding fearless soldiers were concentrating on cleaning up the surrounding adult helical stones. They opened and closed their sickle limbs to smash the shells of the adult helical stones, covering the actions of the self-destructing soldiers.

In the thick waves of blood mixed with ink that have not yet dispersed, a figure clinging to the self-destructing dragon rides on the waves. Its wide and flat abdomen is tilted to form a structure similar to a lifting body. With the shield and scale structure, it allows it to move faster in the water. Not slow.

"Kraken" faced these tiny grades, just like an adult helical stone facing a micronized torpedo, it was difficult to attack.

The real threat to it the most is the adult body of Orthogonite. Just like the larval Orthogonite intercepted the micron torpedo at that time, it waved its tentacles to meet the approaching self-destructing torpedo.

A large number of ordinary soldiers came forward with their paddling feet swinging, surrounding the self-destructing sticks to protect them from being attacked by the adult snails. Some simply went directly to face the adult Orthogonal Stone together with the fearless soldiers.

The sickle limbs opened and closed, and the tail spines and tail clips waved. Under Lin Yi's control, they cooperated with the fearless soldiers, tearing apart the flesh and blood of the Straight Spiral Stone Soldier CT like a pack of wolves in the sea.

Of course, it is inevitable to be sacrificed by the horny beak of the adult orthohelical stone. From time to time, blue horseshoe crab blood surges out, soaking the seawater with ink.

Under the cover of the periphery soldiers risking their lives, the sticky self-destruction also successfully approached the tentacles of the "Kraken".

The echolocation system cannot display detailed parts very well, but for a behemoth like the "Kraken", the head and tail can still be distinguished.

As long as it explodes on soft tissue, it will cause a small amount of damage regardless of the specific location. Each self-destructing snake swings its paddling feet, using the adsorption structure on its ventral surface to attach to the body of the "Kraken". Then it operates the sodium storage structure in the body, drains out the oil, and injects seawater!

A series of muffled sounds came from the thick ink, and amid the violent swaying of the water, the echolocation system temporarily failed due to the sound of explosions.

Under Lin Yi's control, the attachment points of these self-destructing missiles were very close, and the detonation time was almost the same.

When the explosion dissipated, the sound waves emitted by the echolocation system penetrated the thick ink again and swept over the huge body of "Kraken". The echolocation system showed that a long object was slowly falling downwards.

The size of the object is close to that of an ordinary helical stone, but it is longer and thinner. Based on various information, it is inferred that it is most likely the tentacle of the "Kraken".

The water waves suddenly shook violently, and the huge body of "Kraken" rushed out of the ink using its water jet propulsion system, trailing a trail of crimson blood behind it - except for the longer tentacle that had been cut off by the fearless soldier. Wrist, one of the eight shorter tentacles was completely broken.

At the same time, the left side of the entire soft tissue of the "Kraken" was in terrible condition, with bright red blood gushing out. Pieces of exoskeleton fragments were embedded in the gaps between the horny armor plates on the soft tissue of the "Kraken", like the fragments of shells exploded. .

There was even a piece of fragment that pierced directly into "Kraken"'s huge left eye. The narrow pupils of his eyes were filled with contempt as if they were the old gods. At this time, the blood and tissue fluid were flying everywhere, as if they no longer had an expression of contempt.

But the blindness of one left eye and the breakage of two tentacles did not make the "Kraken" lose its combat effectiveness, but made it even more violent. The water jet propulsion system was operating at full strength, and the tentacles were waving, wrapping around each one. The body of a fearless soldier.

The shockingly sharp horny beak opened and closed, breaking open the Dreadnaught's solid exoskeleton and inner shell like a can, tearing apart the soft internal organs and flesh below.

More sticky self-destruction flies wanted to come forward, but "Kraken" only swung its arm twice, causing a wave of water to rush away from the side of the approaching stick self-destruction bugs and ordinary soldiers.

Immediately, the water jet propulsion system started to operate, and the huge body once again broke through the encirclement of the Dreadnought Soldiers. Before withdrawing, he did not forget to wave the remaining long tentacle, wrapping around the body of a Dreadnought Soldier and sending it to At the mouth, the horny beak opened and closed, tearing its exoskeleton apart.

Another large number of straight spiral stones came from behind, waving their tentacles to face the group of fearless soldiers following "Kraken", buying time for "Kraken" to evacuate and recuperate.

This is already the unknown number of waves of straight spiral stones, and from behind, more fearless soldiers are coming, continuing to plunge into this meat grinder-like battlefield, crushing the opponent's shell, or dying in the "Kraken" beneath the horny beak.

The war situation once again turned into an endless war of attrition. Both sides are continuing to carry out the so-called gourd baby to save grandpa, sending each other one by one to add fuel to the fire. But in the current situation, unless one side's troops are exhausted, the battle cannot end.

But if this continues, it will be more beneficial to Lin Yi's side - for him, this is a war of attrition. But for the "Kraken" with only one, this is an endless wheel battle.
