Chapter 17 Sniper

After Lin studied the silver beetle, many days and nights have passed...

In the Dark Land, a large cave with a diameter of up to three meters is located by the border of the river. Several huge desert scorpions are lying beside the cave, seeming to be feeling the warm sunlight penetrating through the twisted trees. Fall asleep.

These desert scorpions that Lin picked up before, they have grown to more than two meters long. Although they no longer stick to the Leviathan, they still help Lin guard the nest.

At the entrance of the cave, the green carpet radiates and spreads to the surroundings. The green structure covers an area with a radius of nearly 50 meters. Every five to ten meters, there is a half-meter high 'fort' standing. The body of the fort is The top of the stone has a muzzle that can rotate 360 ​​degrees, and there is a complete set of 'dynamite' structure inside, which can attack the enemy who invades the green carpet at any time! At the same time, it has some blood vessel-like pipes connected to the green carpet for nutrient supply.

For the vast darkness of the original, the range of the green carpet is not very large, and it can even be said to be quite small, because it takes quite a lot of crystals to sprinkle the green carpet.

The green carpet has many tiny pipes connected into the cave, which extend all the way to the site where the crystals were excavated, and are connected to a structure similar to a food sac, so that the newly excavated crystals can be put into the food bag and transported through the pipes Give the green blanket outside.

Lin's excavation system is larger than that of the Green Carpet. There is a main passage leading to the underground of the Glittering Woodland, and this main road branches into countless trails. Lin has created a type of troop called 'sappers' to be responsible for excavation. Collect the crystals in the soil, they are about ten meters to twenty meters from the ground, and there are quite a lot of crystal fragments here.

In addition to the development of the green carpet, Lin also has a dedicated hunting force. They are usually located in caves. When they find suitable prey nearby, they will capture them. However, the source of nutrients they capture is not as stable as the green carpet.

Lin had thought about feeding on the twisted trees everywhere, but found that these twisted trees could not be digested at all. They combined into a substance called 'wood', and these substances could not be decomposed by the usual solution.

This is really interesting, no wonder Lin has hardly seen any creatures eating these tree trunks, and Lin has also begun to try to decompose the ingredients in it. If she can make it herself, it will feel pretty good.

Now, Lin mainly obtains nutrients by hunting, and Lin has come up with a way of hunting that consumes the least and gets the most.

During the day, the glittering woodland is not even as bright as night at this time, but this does not affect the movement of other creatures. Some salamanders are chewing on the moss in the clearing of the forest.

Lin calls this reptile 'moss salamander'. These half-meter-long salamanders are recently discovered by Lin. They appear at the beginning of the wet day and feed on moss.

Salamanders have good eyesight, and they always look up to make sure there is no danger around, but they are completely unaware that in the twisted trunk above them, a little hunter lurks.

This soldier is an oval-shaped cyst, only about fifteen centimeters in size, and has the ability to change color. It climbs on the trunk with its hooked thorn legs. It has been biting down the bark and wood under it. This is not to be Instead of eating them, they are chewed up and swallowed, and they are re-bonded together with the shell material to form a spiky shape.

This thorn will protrude from the muzzle on the back, and it can use the dual system of explosives combined in the body and pressure eruption to shoot the thorn out.

This kind of arms is called 'Sniper', and the new explosive system in its body can make the range of shelling reach tens or even hundreds of meters!

Snipers also have excellent eyesight, which increases their hit rate.

It is now staring at the moss below...

The structure of endoskeleton creatures is quite interesting. They are only willing to surround the brain with a layer of hard shell, called the 'cranium'. Most of the other important organs and the cortex are only separated by a layer of meat.

This structure, along with the body's inability to use hydraulics, puts them at a disadvantage against arthropods.

'boom'!

With a loud noise, the spikes shot out at an extremely fast speed, piercing a moss salamander's body in an instant, and the spikes just pierced its heart.

In this short moment, the sniper successfully hunted. What's more powerful is that there is a strong dissolving liquid mixed on the spikes, which can dissolve the heart muscle and nerve lines of the moss salamander, and the surrounding moss salamanders don't even notice it. This companion is dead.

...it didn't even notice it until it stopped breathing and collapsed on top of the moss.

The sniper is a very successful hunter, but almost all of its body is made of launch organs, so it moves very slowly and is fragile. Lin will use another type of unit to recover the corpse.

Nest carriers, these round-shaped arms have a diameter of more than one meter, and lie on the tree like snipers. When the snipers hunt the target, they will open the shells on their backs and release a large number of wild bee swarms. It can devour the whole salamander into bones in a short time, and then bring the nutrients back.

At the same time, the wild bees released by the nester can also be used to protect the snipers from other creatures.

Snipers can easily snipe all kinds of creatures, while Crazy Bees decompose food extremely fast. With these two types of arms, Lin can hunt and kill in a very efficient way, gain a lot of nutrients, and create more troops.

After Lin gets a certain amount of nutrients, she will deploy more snipers and nesters in a larger area, and at the same time, the green carpet will begin to extend. Lin slowly expands the site area in this way.

But Lin will not only nest in one place like before. The green carpet on the seabed once covered hundreds of kilometers, and she could not escape the coverage of disaster. No matter how prosperous this twisted jungle is now, Lin will not completely rely on it. So Lynn needed more, bigger bases, but that needed a more efficient way to travel.

Relying on the flying method of dragonflies can not let heavy things fly, Lin is preparing to create a huge flyer, its role is mainly used to find those empty jellyfish, Lin believes that only they can provide it with updates and more. A powerful flying method, but the size of this huge flyer has not yet been decided.

The development of the base is going on slowly and steadily, but Lin's exploration is another matter.

One of Lin's troops set out several days and nights ago. They were composed of various arms, including nest carriers with swarms of wild bees, hunters, and snipers.

Snipers usually lie on the back of the carrier, and they have poor mobility by themselves, but can target targets in all directions by rotating their bodies.

The number of nesters was very small, only three, because when Lin successfully created them, it was time for the team to hit the road, and Lin didn't want to wait too long.

The number of hunters is the largest, and they are on both sides of the team as guards. Their route is always north. The main task is to explore new species, or find a suitable location for building a new base, because Lin thinks it is too troublesome to dig out crystals, so I want to find Is there a glade or something that can be directly laid with a green carpet.

Excluding the mad bees in the nest carrier, the team numbered one hundred. They moved at the bottom of the twisted jungle, targeting the depths of the darkness. The land here is low in crystalline content, so there is no moss, and the ground is usually full of moss. Covered with scattered branches, which piled up because no creatures digested the wood.

There were no branches in the Glittering Woodland, but Lynn didn't find that moss could digest wood. I don't know why? Lin didn't care much about this, so she didn't study it.

Moving through the forest floor, Lynn saw a fairly rich biome.

Now, Lynn is observing a species...

Troops stopped moving, hiding behind piles of branches or tree trunks, observed by wild bees released by nesters.

Ahead is the target Lin is looking for. A small piece of forest glade, although not big, has a radius of over 100 meters. There is no shield from twisted trees, and it is directly irradiated by the light of the day, so it is covered with a kind of small plants. The plant is not moss, has a height of more than ten centimeters, and has a name called 'fern'.

And there is a creature that is eating these ferns.

The creatures are huge, their body length is more than 4 meters, their oval bodies are covered with square-shaped carapaces, and they move sturdy arthropods to shovel and chew ferns on the ground.

It may be a type of beetle, but the long ones are not like normal beetles. They are more like trilobites. If they are really the evolutionary type of trilobites, then the carapace may be quite hard.

It's called a 'scale beetle'.

Lin put a sniper on a hunter's back and made them imitate the color of a fern, and slowly walked into this glade...

The sniper's wooden 'ammunition' is suitable for dealing with soft targets, and Lin also specially made a kind of ammunition composed of high-hardness shell material, this kind of ammunition is called 'armor-piercing bullet', which is used to attack hard targets, but this It was Lyn's first time experimenting with this kind of ammunition.

The sniper assembles the armor-piercing rounds inside, and then takes aim at the nearest scaly beetle.

The scale beetles were eating the ferns, but they didn't notice that the discolored hunters were approaching with the snipers.

'boom'!

Under the loud sound, the armor-piercing bullet hit the side of the scale beetle with a rapid speed, and hit the gap between the two scales!
