Chapter 52 The Competition of the Brains

The two round head worms rolled into the middle of the three rocky mountains. Lin found that this was a large open space, surrounded by a large group of infantrymen. Among them, there was a special infantryman, which looked very similar to ordinary infantrymen. Like, but the abdomen is particularly large, Lin thinks it may be the queen, and they all seem to pay attention to the competition between the head bugs.

Muktu and the head worm looked at each other and lay in the center, and Muktu first made a sound:

"Competition content: hunting, through the jungle, looking for prey, kill the target first, for the winner."

"Compete, accept."

The head worm made a sound of approval, and Lin felt that both of them became excited and excited. Are they going to compete for hunting? But how are they going to hunt?

Following Muktu's voice, Lin saw ten of the infantry around them walking out. They were divided into two halves, and every five went to the two head bugs. They bowed their heads and used the The tentacles touched the body of the head worm.

Muktu continued: "Infantry, ten, Muktu, Maya, five each, hunting target: black-horned giant cockroach."

Lin suddenly understood, is that so? It turns out that they don't hunt themselves, but compete for who can control the infantry to hunt successfully. Sure enough, the head worm should be better than the head.

However, Muketu seems to be talking about hunting as 'Black-horned cockroach'? Can that thing really beat five 'infantry' one meter long?

The black-horned giant cockroach is the largest cockroach Lin has ever seen. It is covered with a solid black carapace and is huge. More than five meters long and possibly weighing more than three tons. The infantry is only one meter long, and it is estimated that it is only a few dozen kilograms. Lin once asked the head bug about the infantry. They do not have special attacks such as dissolving liquid or venom, and the bladed forelimbs are not armored. How to deal with the black-horned giant cockroach?

"If you find the prey first, you can attack first, and you must not attack the prey that the opponent finds first. If there is death or loss of infantry, you can add up to three." Muktu suddenly made a sharp voice: "The hunting begins!"

At the next moment, the two teams of infantry rushed out from between the rocky mountains, and Lin immediately released two flyers to catch up with the two teams of infantry.

The two pairs of infantry were moving quickly in the jungle, while the head worms who stayed in the center of the rock closed their eyes. Lin found that they seemed to be able to manipulate infantry at a very long distance. This ability is really interesting, and Lin also looked forward to the results of the competition. This is a very interesting research topic.

But this competition Muktu has an advantage because he is familiar with the environment here and knows where the black-horned giant cockroach is. Lin saw that its infantry team was exploring the ground with its tentacles,

It should have found the smell, and the team of head bugs was still running around in the jungle.

There should be no prey conflict, because the two teams are running in opposite directions.

Muktu's infantry swooped down as they searched for scents. Soon, it spotted a black-horned cockroach behind a twisted tree ahead.

The black-horned cockroach is huge. It has a round obtuse horn on its head that is about one meter long and has a rounded end, which is why it is called this name.

The black-horned giant cockroach is hitting the twisted tree with its horns. It does not want to eat the bark, but relies on a strong impact force to shake off other things on the tree to eat. Basically, it eats everything, including other arthropods. , reptiles, leaves, and the hard seeds of twisted trees.

Muktu's infantry did not move directly, but climbed to the nearby twisted tree, then scattered and searched everywhere, as if looking for something, and one of them climbed to the trunk above the black-horned giant cockroach. , seems to be monitoring the black-horned giant cockroach, and at the same time it hugs the tree trunk tightly, so as not to be shaken by the black-horned giant cockroach. The trunks of all twisted trees are rolled together and can be climbed through the trunk of one tree to the other.

The head worm's team is still running around in the forest, looking for a target. The head worm should be here for the first time. It doesn't seem to know where the black-horned giant cockroach is haunting.

On Muktu's side, the infantrymen scattered on the tree trunks quickly gathered again. Lin found that one of the infantrymen was biting something in the mouth. The flyer got closer and found that it was a small beetle.

I have also seen that kind of beetle Lin. It is a kind of beetle called 'stink bug'. Although it is small, it can release a strong irritating gas. This gas can even damage the olfactory cells of other creatures, so there are no creatures. will eat this stuff.

Does it use stink bugs for what? However, Lin thinks that the black-horned giant cockroach should not eat it, and may not even look at it.

Muktu obviously knew this, so it didn't directly use the bug to smash the black-horned cockroach, but let an infantryman eat the bug directly, and then other infantrymen caught a lot of bugs, they All these bugs were eaten by this infantryman.

The smell secreted by the stink bug can not only damage the sense of smell, but also have a damaging effect on the cells in the esophagus. After eating it, it is similar to eating the lysate. The infantryman who ate a lot of stink bugs was obviously greatly injured, although he could not see any. No matter what action it showed, but the breathing holes on its mouth and body had begun to ooze blood, and the infantryman had also become dying, lying weakly on the tree trunk.

That's right, it's this tactic...

The other infantrymen then threw the bug-eating infantryman from the tree, and the sound of it falling to the ground caught the attention of the black-horned giant cockroach.

The black-horned giant cockroach thought that the infantry was knocked down by it. It walked up to the infantry and began to open its mouth to eat it, but it stopped halfway through the action.

The black-horned giant cockroach seemed to smell the stink of the stink bug. This smell was mixed with the bloody smell of the infantry, and it became thinner, but it was enough to cause the giant cockroach to be suspicious.

Muktu also noticed that this method might fail. At this time, it let several other infantry climb down from the tree trunk, walked more than ten meters in front of the black-horned giant cockroach, and waved its forelimbs to make a sharp cry. Voice.

Is this... provoking the black-horned giant cockroach?

……wrong.

Seeing this, the black-horned giant cockroach let out a low roar, but it didn't leave the place to chase them, but kept standing there and roaring.

Lin noticed that several of Muktu's infantrymen stared at the dying infantry at the feet of the black-horned giant cockroach. This was a special message for the black-horned giant cockroach. Muktu tried to make the black-horned giant cockroach think, These infantrymen were going to snatch its food, and if it came after it, they would take it.

In this way, the black-horned giant cockroach will not chase, but may not hesitate to eat the infantryman who has eaten a lot of bugs.

Lin thinks this tactic is very interesting. Maybe the reason why the brains of the head worms are so large is because they can operate infantry from a long distance, and they can think about these special tactics.

Compared with Muktu, who was about to succeed, the headworm seemed to have just started. Now, Lin finally saw that the headworm had also found a black-horned giant cockroach. This black-horned giant cockroach was not hitting a tree, but was lying on the ground. Sleeping state.

Lin was very interested to see if the head worm would use any interesting tactics, but the action of the head worm surprised Lin, it actually made the infantry rush towards the black-horned giant cockroach!

Is the head worm going to fight recklessly?

The sleeping black-horned cockroach woke up. It looked at the rushing infantry and let out a roar, and then rushed towards these infantry.

The huge stature makes the ground vibrate constantly when running, and the difference in combat power between the two charging parties is huge. Is this reckless method really effective? Or is the Brainworm not planning to win?

At the moment when the two sides were about to collide, the infantry of the head worm suddenly jumped aside, and the black-horned giant cockroach suddenly jumped into the air, but it turned its head very quickly at this moment, and bit the nearest one in one bite. Only infantry, chewing it to pieces in an instant.

Black-horned cockroaches do not attack with their horns. Their horns are round and blunt. They are only used to hit trees. When facing other creatures, they prefer to tear the target with their jaws composed of six sharp blades. .

The remaining four infantrymen did not escape, but rushed up together and climbed to the back of the black-horned giant cockroach.

The black-horned giant cockroach roared, constantly shaking its body trying to shake them off.

Although the infantry could not do much damage to the cockroach, they made the cockroach very uncomfortable just by lying on its back, and the infantry used their limbs to grip the carapace on the cockroach's back tightly. In the gap, they seem to be grasping very tightly, and the black-horned giant cockroach can't shake them off, but the black-horned giant cockroach has a new trick - roll!

The black-horned giant cockroach retracted its limbs and rolled on the spot, which was enough to crush all the infantry, but before it rolled, the head worm made all the infantry jump away, and the black-horned giant cockroach rolled around in vain.

When the black-horned giant cockroach finished rolling, the infantrymen all jumped on it again, trying to jump on the black-horned giant cockroach again, but the black-horned giant cockroach reacted this time, and it instantly turned around and bit a rushing infantryman.

Here, Lin noticed some detailed controls. The infantryman attacked by the black-horned giant cockroach stopped instantly and retreated at a very fast speed, dodging the sharp teeth of the black-horned giant cockroach, while the other three Then they spread out and pounced on the black-horned giant cockroach from different directions.

The black-horned cockroach was chasing an infantryman and biting at this time, but it also noticed that there were infantrymen on both sides of its body, and it immediately began to keep shaking its six limbs, trying to kick the rushing infantry out.

The infantrymen changed their direction slightly, got through between the six limbs kicked by the giant cockroach, and climbed onto the giant cockroach again.

The giant cockroach was instantly angry, its limbs shrank and it was ready to roll again, but at this time the infantrymen lying on it jumped away again, and the giant cockroach did not press them at all.

Then, the infantry repeated the previous action again, trying to jump on the back of the giant cockroach.

Lin noticed that the head worm did not intend to directly harm the giant cockroach, but to make the giant cockroach more likely to move more and make it tired.

The giant cockroach will feel quite uncomfortable with the infantry that is plopping on it. It will constantly shake its body and roll, which will consume a lot of physical strength.

On Muktu's side, the giant cockroach had already eaten the infantryman who had eaten a lot of bugs, and now he was waiting for the poison to strike.

So, who will be the winner? (To be continued...)
