Chapter 7 Insect Swarm in the Night
Two updates today~ The next chapter is about 10 minutes away~
……………………………………………………………………
This is really strange, how could the small one help the big one to block the attack? When Lin was in the sea, she had only seen similar cooperative battles between very few creatures.
It is common to say that cooperation between single cells is very common, but multi-cellular cooperation is very rare. Most multi-cellular organisms never even meet except during the reproductive period, but I did not expect that there are creatures on land that cooperate like this, and the spire forest may be a They did it.
A race that can grow plants and cooperate with each other to fight...
This made Lin think of...itself.
Lynn planned to call them 'Aztec bugs'.
Um? It seems that I have thought of a very strange name without knowing it, and it seems to have a special meaning.
The small bugs are now crawling on the big bugs. Even if they are caught by Lin's lantern, they will not escape. In this way, the small bugs become the guards, and the large Aztec bugs are responsible for using the powerful The bite force of the giant fangs bit each of Lin's thrusters into pieces.
As soon as Leviathan's explosives are fired, there will be small jumps to block them. Aztec insects have no eyes, and it seems that they have quite powerful other perception abilities.
However, Leviathan's shelling is not the only one, it also has an attack method that can be called 'shotgun'.
Compressed the air inhaled into the body again, and prepared quite a few small bombs. Before the big worm smashed the next thruster, Leviathan slammed the muzzle and let the bombs pour out!
Hundreds of bombs filled with dissolved liquid shot at the big worm's body, and a small worm on top of its head immediately jumped up, blocking the small body in front of the huge head.
However, it only blocked a few, and most of the bombs hit the big bug, and Lin could now hear the special hissing sound of the dissolving liquid breaking down the armor.
Under the light of the lantern, Lin could even see many small holes in the black carapace of the big worm, all of which were dissolved by the bomb.
Because many components in seawater are corrosive, the carapace of sea creatures generally has an anti-corrosion effect, but terrestrial creatures obviously do not.
'Wu...' The big worm let out a heavy roar, and it kept backing away. Lin found that the little worms on its body had brought moss at some point, and they put the moss on the big worm's wound.
Isn't that moss poisonous? Maybe it's not poisonous to them, but it still treats them? What a strange creature.
Even though she said that, Lin showed no mercy. Another shot of the shotgun hit the big worm, knocking out all the little bugs that healed it. When the bruised body of the big worm was exposed, Lin let the thruster come forward again.
A part of the thruster's thorns can be shot out, and the tips of these thorns are open and filled with venom.
The stabers aimed at the wounds on the worm's body and sprayed these poisonous stingers out. By calculating the surrounding wind direction, Lin could achieve a 100% hit rate.
The wound of the big insect was hit by the stinger, it could no longer stand, and fell to the ground with a bang.
Did you win?
The little worms let out a shrill cry, and they neighed around the fallen worm, refusing to leave, but there was no sign of attacking either.
what are they doing?
Lin became more and more curious about the behavior of these creatures. Herd creatures are indeed different from individual creatures, and they have quite a few wonderful behaviors.
'Om...'
With the cries of the bugs, a wonderful sound resounded in the sky, as if... there were many creatures flying in the air.
Is it a dragonfly? no...that is...
When Leviathan lit the lantern to the sky, Lin saw something incredible. Many small flying insects of about ten centimeters filled the sky above Leviathan at some point. They were quite large in number.
But the most peculiar thing is that they are exactly the same as the Aztec insects, but they have two wings that are very similar to dragonflies on their backs.
Are these flying creatures also Aztecs? !
Division of labor and cooperation... Lin has never seen such a situation in creatures other than single-celled organisms. Generally, multicellular organisms are at most male and female, but there is actually no big difference between males and females, but the reproductive cells released are different. That's it.
But there have been three kinds of these 'Aztec bugs'. Although they look similar, they are completely different in body shape or way of action. The most important thing is that they all cooperate with each other.
These creatures are indeed very similar to Lin!
The flying insects flew around in the air. They didn't jump down to attack, but sprayed some liquid from their tails. When the liquid dripped on Leviathan's carapace, Lin could see a trace of green smoke coming out of the carapace.
solution...
It is a dissolving liquid that Lin has never seen before. The anti-corrosion coating is also made for the type of dissolving liquid. The structural component is also a kind of shell substance. For the dissolving liquid that has never been touched, it will be ineffective.
'boom'
Leviathan shoots large pieces of shotgun at flying insects in the air. These insects are too small, and one or two of them are deadly enough. Many flying insects fall because of this, but soon more flying insects fill their positions. .
There are too many, and the sound of their wings is everywhere. Unlike the quiet dragonflies, these flying insects are particularly noisy. With the lantern alone, Lin can only illuminate a small part of them.
The dissolving liquid kept dripping from the air in large pieces, and the damage they caused was actually very small. Lin could combine a new anti-corrosion shell material before they melted through Leviathan's armor.
But at this moment, Lin heard those heavy footsteps again...
Those big bugs again? And... there are actually two in number?
Have to retreat.
When Lin's lantern shone on two large insects approaching from different directions, it could only make this decision. The big insects rely on the bite force of pure force, and it is difficult for Lin to have the confidence to resist.
Leviathan began to turn around and retreat, and the remaining thrusters also ran away. Lin found that the two giant insects were chasing Leviathan, while the small insects and flying insects dispersed, chasing each escaping target.
The speed of the giant worm is slightly slower than that of the Leviathan. It is estimated that it is too heavy. In this case...
Leviathan aimed the muzzle behind him at the big bug, and burst out a large number of shotgun shells, but this time the situation was a little different.
Countless flying insects rushed in front of the big insect. Because of their huge number, they could almost perfectly intercept every bomb, making Lin's attack completely ineffective.
At this moment, Lin almost felt as if she was fighting with herself. How did these wonderful creatures evolve?
It doesn't seem like the time to think about it now.
The flying insects shot out a large amount of dissolved liquid, and the outermost carapace of Leviathan was corroded and pitted, but Lin had created a new layer of anti-corrosion chitin inside, and Lin was confident that this layer of shell could be used to resist Resist the corrosive attack of flying insects.
And the big bug can't catch up with the Leviathan, so it's a matter of time before Lin escapes, and then it will create a more powerful army to decide the outcome.
In the front, a neat row of pointed pillars appeared in the light of Lin's lantern, which was the exit of the pointed pillar forest. If you go further, you will reach the rocky ground in front of the cliff on the coast.
Now, the only way to go is to run there. Rather than going to the desert without water, Lin is more willing to take a bet to see if the sea water has recovered its temperature.
Leviathan rushed out of the wall of spires without hesitation and reached the open rocky ground.
There are fish bones everywhere, and their flesh has long been eaten up by scorpions or other creatures. Leviathan smashed the skeletons of several meat-finned fish and rushed straight towards the cliff.
The Aztec swarm also followed, they did not give up after a while as they did on the first night, but kept chasing to the end.
When the pursuit continued to the middle of the rocky ground, there was a rumbling sound from the ground, as if something huge was about to emerge from the ground, and the entire rocky ground began to tremble.
It's the mist worm...
At this moment, there was a sudden 'boom' next to him. Leviathan pointed the lantern in that direction, and saw a huge worm breaking through the rock from the ground, opening its huge mouth full of barbed teeth and biting a large worm. The body of the Aztec worm dragged back.
For a moment just now, Lin thought that the worms belonged to the Aztecs too, but it didn't seem to be the case.
But Lin didn't feel at ease for a long time, and the ground in front of Leviathan suddenly burst open, and a huge worm rushed out of it, opening its huge mouth from the front and biting at Leviathan.
Oops! It can't be avoided!
In an emergency, Lin suddenly thought of a plan, so instead of letting Leviathan stop or dodge, it rushed straight into the giant mouth of the worm!
