Chapter 15 Gunnery Armor
Where the captured hunters are now, Lynn named it the second layer of the Twisted Jungle. At the bottom of the forest is a vast area of glowing moss and dirt and plant remains, and the second layer is another Xintiandi.
You can reach it by flying about ten meters up the trunk of the twisted tree. The environment here is full of thick and twisted tree trunks crisscrossing each other, like countless dancing tentacles, and their growth is irregular. It is also completely shrouded in darkness at night, and not a shred of light can reach this position.
In this dark and complex environment, the flier's belly lit up and flew toward the deep target location.
All that can be seen here are twisted tree trunks, the thinnest of which are at least one meter wide, allowing hunters to crawl on it, but if it was a Leviathan, there would be no way.
The captured hunter has already been eaten by 30%. The hunter's way of eating is to chew with his teeth, and it seems that there is no substance such as a solution secreted.
What kind of creature is that? Those may be creatures that Lin knows, such as cockroaches. Cockroaches have some small scavenging species, but the largest of them is the most powerful predator that Lin has seen in this forest so far.
You can only know if you see it.
The flyer flew quickly along the tree trunk, targeting Lin's pain. In the dark environment, occasionally one or two small flying insects approached. After shaking a few times, they quickly flew away without a trace.
Lin didn't see any large creatures. At this time, it was already close to where the creature was.
Um? The pain of being gnawed has stopped?
Lin felt that the captured hunter had been eaten by half, but instead of being eaten, it was thrown aside.
What a waste, but if other organisms have too many fat cells, it will affect their overall mobility. Even if Lin is full of energy, she can solidify the food into a ball and store it, because Lin will kill all the nearby saprophytic bacteria, so the food is never rot.
However, this is a chance, Lin may be able to defeat the creature with this leftover hunter.
Lin immediately let the hunter's wound start to coagulate, preventing the outflow of blood and the entry of other bacteria, and at the same time, the body began to undergo dramatic changes.
The first is that cells and organ structures begin to dissolve, allowing the basic cells in the body to absorb these dissolved nutrients and start to proliferate, and these basic cells begin to combine into countless new organisms.
Only the abdomen of the hunter was eaten, but the abdomen happened to be the largest part of the hunter's body, and there was enough space and nutrients for Lin to completely reorganize it.
Through deformation and combination of basic cells, a group of new creatures can be synthesized in a short period of time. Lin mainly designs their shapes according to a relatively ferocious little flying insect that is common in the vicinity, so she named them "mad bees".
Now, the flyers outside have also found the location of the hunters. There is a tree hole with a diameter of more than one meter in a thick tree trunk. creatures are nearby.
have you left? Judging from the size of the cave, the creature should not be large, and it is likely to be a cockroach.
This voice is...
The flyer heard a crawling sound nearby. Not far away, a carapace-clad creature climbed up the tree trunk. It was as much as one meter long. Under the light of the flyer, its carapace was glowing. Silver glitter.
What, it turned out to be a type of beetle, but this color... It seems to be a type I have never seen before, so it's called a 'silver beetle'.
The silver beetle climbed into the tree hole along the twisted trunk. The tentacles on its head were waving. It seemed to be looking for something. In the end, it locked its target on the remains of the hunter and went forward to start. Eat up.
Looking at this, it doesn't seem to be the original owner of this tree hole.
Just touch the smell.
Forget it, kill it first.
The silver beetle gnawed a big hole on the hunter's remnant abdomen. Usually, a lot of blood would flow out, but it didn't eat anything. When the beetle was waving its tentacles in confusion, the beetle was caught by it. Countless creatures suddenly poured out of the bite!
The mad bees are only about two centimeters in size, but they are extremely numerous. They can rely on their blade-like jaws to attack, and like the flying species of the Aztecs, they can spray a huge amount of acid in their abdomens.
The silver beetle seemed to have encountered this phenomenon for the first time, and it seemed a little dazed. Before it could react, the mad bees had already covered its body.
The fangs of the mad bee are designed to deal with soft armored targets. To deal with such thick armored targets, a solution must be used. All arthropods have some ventilation holes on their bodies, and their gills have degenerated into water.
Crazy Beetle found some holes on both sides of the silver beetle's plastron. Just when Lin was about to let them spray the acid inside, the silver beetle's abdomen suddenly swelled up, and it was sprayed out one step ahead of Lin. Lots of liquid.
'boom! ’ When the silver beetle erupted, there was an extremely loud sound, and Lin suddenly felt that the wild bees blocking the nozzle were hit by a high-temperature liquid and flew out with the impact.
Lin told the wild bees to disperse quickly, and separated some to find the ones that were sprayed just now. Lin quickly found their bodies around the tree hole. The bodies of these wild bees were almost melted away. The wreckage was also covered with a layer of black liquid, which was constantly smoking blue smoke.
Is this... artillery?
Lin felt a little unbelievable. The silver beetle used an attack method very similar to Leviathan's bombardment, compressing some energy in the body and then erupting it.
And the beetle was not spraying bombs, but a high-temperature solution.
How did these creatures evolve to such a degree? It’s really hard to imagine, let’s not talk about how it keeps this high-temperature liquid in the body, it’s the way of shelling, Lin has never seen other creatures have it except herself, and the impact is quite powerful, even stronger than the ordinary pressure jet method. Much stronger.
Lin couldn't let it go, she absolutely had to catch it and dissect it. Although Lin could combine various arms, she also relied on learning other creatures.
'boom! 'The silver beetle then sprayed a huge amount of liquid from the side of the body and shot at the swarm of wild bees flying in the tree hole. Dozens of wild bees fell because of this. The high-temperature solution can instantly destroy their body structure and dissolve them into one piece. block residue.
In the face of such a powerful firepower, the mad bee swarms did not retreat but advanced, and they surrounded them again, spraying the dissolving liquid on the silver beetle, and at the same time looking for any place to bite, Lin tried to kill the beetle at all costs.
The armor of the silver beetle is extremely strong. It seems that because of its habit of spraying high-temperature acid, its own acid resistance is extremely strong, and the attack of the mad bee does not work at all. Only a hundred or so left.
The remaining wild bees could not pose any threat, and it was difficult for the silver beetle to hit them, so it simply ignored the remaining wild bees and ate the remains of the downed bees around.
What should we do? If the Wild Bee is useless, other troops or Leviathan can only do it, but it is probably too late now.
The silver beetle eats very fast, and after eating the remains, it crawled out of the tree hole.
Lin asked the mad bees and the glowing flyer to follow immediately. After the silver beetle climbed on the twisted tree trunk for a while, it suddenly stopped and lay there without moving.
Lin's wild bee flew around its head a few times, but the silver beetle didn't respond at all.
Are you resting? It turns out that it doesn't have a nest, so does it just sleep like this?
But... this is just right, because the place where the silver beetle rests is right above the Leviathan's cave.
Although the Leviathan is too heavy to climb up, but... as long as the beetle goes down, it will be fine.
Leviathan walked out of the cave, Lin stretched out her eye tentacles and looked up, and could vaguely see the light emitted by the flyer among the twisted tree trunks.
It's about thirty meters away...
Leviathan constructs a slender, flexible cellular silk thread in the body, with barbed spikes at the end, just enough to reach the silver beetle on it.
Aim the muzzle at the target, and with the pressure of the air, the Leviathan slams the barb out!
Leviathan can't spray the barbs at such a high distance, and the thin spines can't penetrate the armor of the silver beetle, so Lin made some special gadgets.
The barb is equipped with small wings. Even if it loses the momentum of the shelling, it can still fly for a long distance. The barb with wings flew to the silver beetle on the trunk, flew to its mouth, and poked it. Its closed jaws.
After Lin poked dozens of times, the silver beetle finally woke up. It bit the barb and swallowed it without thinking.
Hooked!
After confirming that the thorns had hooked the soft parts of the silver beetle's mouth, Leviathan immediately pulled hard, and immediately pulled the beetle off the tree!
