Chapter 18 Ambush in the Open Ground
"Gah!"
The scale beetle that was hit by the armor-piercing projectile let out a painful roar. The armor-piercing projectile was inserted right into the middle of the scales and pierced halfway, but this would only cause pain and would not kill the target.
Hmm, I forgot to apply poison on it... But the penetrating power of this warhead is not enough, it needs to be adjusted.
The roar of the scale beetles caused other scale beetles nearby to resonate, and they began to rampage like crazy. They all slammed their heads against the tree trunks on the edge of the clearing, and the twisted tree trunks trembled under their impact. There were many small beetles. The creature was shaken and fell from the trees above.
What are they doing? Crazy?
Lin looked at these creatures curiously. At this time, the hunter had already returned to the jungle with the sniper, and there was no need to worry about being hit by them... Wait!
Lin noticed that one of the largest scale beetles didn't bump around, but raised its head and kept waving its tentacles in the air. Finally, it turned its head to the direction where Lin's troops were hiding!
"Gu..."
The scale beetle made a low sound, and in the next moment, all the beetles turned in this direction.
That smell is awesome.
"Wow!"
The scale beetles roared in unison and rushed towards this side. The target was obviously the hunter with the sniper on his back. Lin let it turn around and flee into the depths of the jungle, while the other troops continued to hide in the bushes.
All the beetles also followed the fleeing hunters. Their huge figures trembled the earth while rushing through the woods. After leaving a place of trampled branches and mud, they all rushed into the jungle. Inside, disappeared without a trace.
Was it all taken away so easily?
The rest of Lin's troops entered the glade. This place full of ferns is suitable for Lin to cover the green carpet. There are no trees to block the green carpet.
The three nesters walked to the center of the fern, Lin asked them to lean against each other, and then released all the wild bees in her body. All the wild bees formed a circle and wrapped the three nesters. The frenzied bees began to secrete chitin on both sides of their bodies, which glued them together, eventually forming a shell-covered sphere.
At this time, the nesters inside begin to dissolve themselves, they will turn into liquid, reorganize themselves in the shell, and finally form a special organ - the base, which is used to produce troops and green blankets, which can be regarded as Lin's in the forest. second base.
Although Lin has many types of troops, in fact, they are not fixed. Lin can change their shapes and functions at will. This needs to be done in water, so Lin has to get a sealed sphere first.
However, the sphere is also not completely airtight, with a small opening in it, because the change also requires nutrients and more water. Now, other hunters are harvesting the field's ferns, chewing the soft plants into sap and infusing them into the spheres.
I don't know if the group of scale beetles will come back. The hunter who escaped now has thrown them away, so Lin needs to quickly grow the base so that it can defend against them.
The composition and changes of the base continued until the dark night. Lin didn't see the group of scale beetles again, so she might have gone elsewhere.
In the glade in the dark night, you can clearly see the starry sky above. Lin thinks that those flickering brilliance is her future goal, but she doesn't know what's on it...
I remember being disappointed when I first landed on land... There were only deserts and deadly UV rays back then, and now there is such a huge biome.
When Lin recalled her past deeds, the renovation of the base had been completed. After absorbing a lot of nutrients from ferns, the base of the center is now a sphere as high as two meters. There are many kinds of toxins in the ferns, but Lin can Break them down and use them to cover defenses on the shell on the surface of the base.
So now, we should create some arms. After we have safety protection, we can extend the green carpet.
Lin plans to create some snipers to deploy in the surrounding woodlands, so that they can observe whether any creatures are approaching.
The hunters surrounded the base, and the newly created snipers climbed the tree trunks in the surrounding woodland and placed them at a height of about ten meters, while some snipers were placed directly in the ferns on the ground.
When the hunter placed the tenth sniper near the base, Lin suddenly felt a strange sound.
In the forest, there was a sense of vibration of a large number of creatures rushing.
It's a scale beetle! They are back!
With the sound of countless shocking footsteps, countless huge figures appeared in the twisted jungle. They quickly swayed their six sturdy limbs and charged into the clearing in the forest.
And then...started to put his head down and eat the ferns.
They obviously did not notice that there was a Lin base here, nor did they notice the hidden snipers and hunters around.
However, if they don't get rid of them, it seems to be troublesome.
But it can be a little difficult to fight so many huge creatures.
When Lin was a little distressed, it heard a strange sound again.
And this... from the air?
Eyeball tentacles stretched out above the base, and under the twinkling starry sky, a huge black shadow appeared.
Is this... a flying creature?
This black shadow has four huge leaf-like wings, which can even reach a width of 20 meters. Every time it flaps its wings, it will arouse a strong airflow, blowing the moss on the ground fall.
The scale beetles raised their heads one after another, and they slowly stepped back while looking at the huge flying creature.
How could there be such a huge flying creature? This creature has no way to enter the intricate twisted woods, so why does it appear here?
A lantern stretched out from the base, and the light shone on this giant creature. Lin found that although it had huge wings, the body in the center of the two wings was relatively narrow, only about two meters wide and five meters long.
With three tentacles curled together and serrated on its mouth, the flying creature uses its giant eyeballs to look around at the scale beetles in the fern clearing.
Suddenly, its wings accelerated sharply and rushed towards the nearest scale beetle. It grabbed the beetle with its hooked limbs, and then used the serrated tentacles in its mouth to reach the scale beetle. There was a sharp scraping between the gaps, and a huge amount of blood gushed out like a torrent.
The other scale beetles quickly fled into the forest, completely ignoring this companion.
But Lin didn't run away. The moment she saw it, she decided that the huge flyer that Lin was going to create should be based on the size of this creature.
This flying creature is called a 'sawfly'. Although it should not be a dragonfly, its wings are more like a creature called a 'butterfly' in Lin's mind, although Lin has never seen what a butterfly is.
The sawfly was sucking the blood of the scale beetle with the tentacles on its mouth, completely unaware that a sniper in the ferns nearby had aimed its eyeballs.
shooting!
The high-speed sharp warhead instantly pierced into the eyeball of the sawfly, and the huge body of the sawfly slammed, flapping its wings to fly.
At this time, several thorns shot towards its abdomen, and the rapid sneak attack in the dark, the sawfly could not notice it at all, a large number of thorns instantly penetrated its abdominal cortex, and blood flowed out of the wound smoothly. ...
Although the sawfly is huge, its carapace is really thin, it is estimated that it is similar to the skin of reptiles.
But thanks to its huge size, the sawfly was sniped by a series of snipers and did not fall down. Instead, it vigorously flapped its wings and rushed to the sky. The huge wings gave it a strong upward force. When the sniper was ready for the next round Before the ammo, it flew out of the sniper's range.
However, Lin has always liked to put some strange gadgets in the ammunition, and this time was no exception.
'boom! ’
The belly of the sawfly burst violently, and the blood plasma, pieces of meat, and various organs were scattered under the starlight, and the huge body of the sawfly fell from the air and fell heavily on the ground, crushing Huge ferns.
Looking at this scene, Lin had a strange feeling, like... she was in a good mood, but it wasn't quite the same as the sense of achievement in defeating the strong. By the way, it was like seeing something interesting.
The word 'art' appeared in Lin's mind again.
