Chapter 48 Deep Sand Raid
Behemoth is the largest creature that Lynn has ever created. Because of its huge size, it cannot stay in the Twisted Jungle, and in the Glittering Woodland it will also affect the growth of moss and Twisted Tree saplings, so Lyn let it stay in the Glitter. The edge of the woodland, above a dune.
Behemoth usually does not fly in the air, but falls on the sand, waiting in the form of the most nutrient-saving form, but it will still release some fliers, and the fliers are responsible for exploring and observing the changes in the surrounding desert. Such as dust storms, or rain or other weather, so that the tree planters in the Flash Woodland can be prepared.
This time, a flier flying to the south found something unusual.
At this time, the night was covering the desert. Unlike the scorching day, there were many small creatures haunting the gravel in the icy night. They often made some small noises, but the sound the flyer heard this time was unusual. Big, you could just call it a roar.
The sand kept shaking and this shaking area kept moving north, it wasn't an earthquake or something, it felt like some kind of massive object was moving under the sand.
And its movement direction is just aimed at Behemoth lying on the dune.
At this time, the head worm was continuing to rummage for paintings about the ethnic group in the lake inside the home tree. The head worm kept talking about the 'moon', and there was no danger around, so Lin turned her attention to the desert.
Maybe dodge this behemoth under the sand, but what kind of creature could it be?
The flyer moved with the vibrating sand, and Lin estimated its size. Probably only one creature fits the size of the creature under the sand—‘Deep Sand Bus’
Lin had seen the inside of Shensha Bus. According to preliminary calculations, Shensha Bus was a giant arthropod with a length of more than 40 meters and a width of more than 10 meters. Of course, I don't know if they are all this size. Because this is obviously not the one that Lin has been tracking.
The vibrating grains of sand continued to move northward, and Lin let Behemoth quickly produce aerosols, and they began to slowly rise into the air.
Behemoth has a shell-like structure in his body, even in an airless state. It will not collapse, and it is easy to inflate. The organs in its body can quickly produce air-floating air. Lin's specially-made organs that mimic the empty jellyfish can directly obtain air in the air. It can also be obtained from the digestion of food.
During the period when Behemoth was inflated and floated, the flyer suddenly found that the vibration of the sand grains disappeared, and the sand surface seemed to be quiet. Did the creatures under the sand stop moving?
Lin was a little puzzled. But Behemoth's rise did not stop, when it was more than ten meters above the ground,
Lin heard the vibrating sound under the sand again.
Right next to Behemoth!
'boom! ’
There was a loud noise in the sand. I saw a huge arthropod rushing out of the sand. Lin suddenly felt a sharp pain from Bechymos' skin, it bit Bechymos' side, and the huge weight made Bechymos crooked to one side.
This creature is huge, and more than half of its body is still buried in the sand, but Lin can guess that it is more than 30 meters long. Its overall body is flat and long like a scorpion, but its whole body is covered with black diamond-shaped scales like reptiles First. It has six huge protruding eyeballs on its head, and a pair of curved-blade-shaped gigantic teeth covered with barbs on its mouth, which pierce right into Behemoth's cortex.
Most of Behemoth's body was filled with gas, and although he was stabbed, there was no gas leak because his teeth blocked the wound.
Is this the Shensha bus? Although I haven't seen the appearance, the body shape is indeed as similar as Rin thought, but I can't confirm it completely.
Now, it is in a stalemate with Bechymos, and the deep sand bus is trying to pull Bechymos to the ground, while Bechymos is still inflating constantly, and has activated the jet system to go up into the sky.
But now, Behemoth is at a disadvantage. Just because of the opponent's weight, it is unlikely to pull the opponent to fly, but the deep sand bus is pulling Behemoth down little by little, half burying it. The body in the sand gives it a good leverage point.
Behemoth didn't have any close combat ability, so Lin opened the troop outlet on Behemoth's back, and a large number of flying troops flew out from it.
Most of these units are bombers, which are exactly the same as those used by Lin to fight the Chibcha, which can drop explosive bombs.
They flew around the head of the deep sand bus, and dropped bombs filled with dissolving liquid and explosives on its back and eyeballs. The liquid mixed with dissolving liquid and explosives exploded on the deep sand bus, and it suddenly seemed to be dissolved. The rain was pouring, and the carapace was engraved with a large number of corrosion marks.
However, the carapace of the Shensha bus is too thick, and the eyeballs are also protected by a layer of transparent shell material. The bombs cannot easily damage it. At this time, Lin suddenly found that the reptile-like armor on its back stood up, a lot of of black bugs gushing out of it.
These are indeed Aztec worms, so there must be more than one deep sand bus, because the one that Lin has been tracking is still quite far away from here.
The Aztec worms released by the deep sand bus are all flying species, and they rush towards the bombers in the sky. Lin's bombers are not completely incompetent, they are like dragonflies, and they all have sharp teeth. And the end of the arthropod is also a sharp bladed structure, but there is a disadvantage, the body size is too large.
The flying species of the Aztecs are only ten centimeters in size, while the bombers are more than one meter, which makes it difficult for them to attack the enemy, while the Aztecs can surround and kill them.
At the moment when the two sides fought, many bombers were besieged and torn apart. The speed of the Aztecs was much faster than them, and it was difficult for the bombers to resist, so Lin adopted a new method.
Bombers rely on gas to fly, and Lin makes them release a large amount of gas in their bodies. This gas used for floating is usually harmless, but if too much is released, it will reduce the oxygen in the air, and Aztec's Flying at high speeds requires a considerable amount of oxygen, if it is replaced...
In the absence of oxygen, the Aztecs began to appear dizzy, their speed slowed down, and some even fell back on the back of the deep sand bus.
Taking this opportunity, the bombers began to fight back. They have spare oxygen in the air sacs in their bodies. Even if there is no oxygen environment, it does not matter. At this time, they can easily tear apart the slow-moving Aztecs and continue to attack the deep. Shabus bombed.
Seeing the corpses of countless Aztecs falling from the air, the deep sand bus didn't seem to want to give up. It used its sturdy carapace to withstand the bombardment and pulled Behemoth down with greater force.
Behemoth turned the air vent and pulled it out in the opposite direction with all his strength.
Under the pulling of both sides, Behemoth's cortex was finally torn off by a large piece, the deep sand bus bit a large piece of skin and retracted into the sand, and Lin immediately closed the pipes connecting other airbags to this airbag .
With the loss of just one airbag, Behemoth still floated high in the sky, but there were some problems with his balance and he seemed wobbly.
It seemed that the cortical structure had to be reinforced, but Lin felt that sometimes even the thicker skin would be difficult to resist opponents of the same size. If a hard shell was added, it would be too heavy.
The deep sand bus dived into the ground, and Bechymos was now floating at an altitude of tens of meters. Lin thought it might not come out again, but before it burrowed into the ground, Lin let some bombers run to it Within the scales of the deep sand bus, although they were all torn apart by the Aztec worms in the deep sand bus, Lin could still rely on the scattered pieces of meat to determine the location of the deep sand bus.
Then take it up!
Behemoth flew over the location of the deep sand bus, and Lin thought that this huge scorpion-shaped creature would not be able to drill as deep as the worm-shaped creature, so just use this to blast it out.
The 'Escaper' is an experimental unit. When Lin first saw the Shensha Bus, she thought about some units that could bring out the underground creatures. This type of unit is not very large, and its shape is tapered. , only about two meters, but it can penetrate the ground, and its sturdy warhead also has a strong ability to break armor.
Behemoth flew into the sky and dropped dozens of evaders. They began to spin rapidly in the air, and when they touched the sand, they burrowed into the ground at an extremely fast speed, and instantly hit the hider hidden in the sand. The back of the deep sand bus.
At this time, the tip of the evader's head began to release the dissolving liquid, and with the ability to rotate, they easily drilled through the carapace of the deep sand bus, but at this time the deep sand bus suddenly moved violently, heading towards the deeper sand. escape in.
Most of the impact force of the evader comes from falling from high altitude, and it cannot move very quickly in the sand. After all, it is only a test product. It can be rotated at high speed by means of jetting in air or water, but it cannot be rotated at high speed in sand. Therefore, the pursuit cannot be continued.
Lin has to find a way to spin at high speed underground, maybe it's not possible to use the jet method in the body? This is a technical question worth considering.
The deep sand bus has now escaped, but it already has some of Lin's cells as a record. Lin will harden these few cells and keep them alive, which is equivalent to marking this creature for a long time.
No matter how far it escaped, Lin could find it.
Now, Behemoth needs to repair the wound, so he will not pursue it for the time being, but during this period, Lin has to figure out what is the relationship between the deep sand bus and the Aztec insect, is it a symbiosis? Or does one control the other, or the same kind?
And there is still the most important question, what effect will the Aztecs have on the surrounding ecology. Several flyers have been observing the Aztecs in the six territories of the Aztecs for a long time, but Lin does not think they will distort the What influence does the jungle have, but the key is that their underground life has not been thoroughly studied.
Now the time is more urgent. If they plan to attack the twisted jungle, the huge creatures like the deep sand bus can cause large-scale damage, so Lin has no plans to study it herself, but directly ask the head bug.
Though it feels like it would be less fun.
