The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 106 Meeting "Kraken" Again

The reconnaissance moron swung its five pairs of paddling legs and slowly swam across the corpse-strewn seabed. Its echolocation system was running to detect objects in the surrounding sea.

In the field of vision, the remains of the Dreadnaught Soldiers and the Straight-horned Stones were everywhere. They were the corpses of both sides who had died in the battle between Lin Yi's control of the Fearless Soldiers' army and the "Kraken" of the Straight-horned Stone Nest Group.

It seems that they were washed here by the huge waves of the tsunami and piled up into mountains, telling the cruelty of the previous battle.

The trash-picking creatures on the seabed that survived the catastrophe have already swarmed forward, trying to tear apart the corpses of the Dreadnaught Soldier and the Orthospermum, feasting on the flesh and blood of these creatures that once stood at the top of the food chain.

Among the groups of trash-picking creatures, Lin Yi once again surprisingly discovered creatures that shouldn't be there.

It's a starfish. They were squirming and crawling all over the corpses, devouring flesh and blood. Some also shed a tentacle from time to time, splitting into a brand new individual.

At the same time, some of the starfish actually have eyes. They are not the original eyespots they should have, but eyeballs with complex structures. Needless to say, it is naturally the starfish nest that appeared after swallowing the floating mother nest of the Straight Spiral Nest.

At this time, Lin Yicai realized that the research mother had died in the previous tsunami, and she did not know where she was swept away. Now it seems that the starfish trapped inside has burst out of the body and has begun to proliferate again.

The opponent's eyeballs seemed to have also seen the reconnaissance mother - to Lin Yi's surprise, some of them actually gave up eating and squirmed towards the position where the reconnaissance mother was suspended!

The reconnaissance female flies swung its tail segment and paddling feet, and flew down by running the water jet propulsion system.

The female turtle series is not completely devoid of combat effectiveness. The three pairs of short chelicerae next to the mouth have a clear division of labor and can still pierce, fix and tear flesh and blood, but they are slightly short.

Three pairs of short chelicerae used for eating were waving, clamping directly towards the central ganglia of each starfish.

This is the life gate of starfish. Once the ganglion is torn out and destroyed, no matter how strong the regeneration ability is, it is impossible to regenerate even half a cell.

As the chelicerae swung, each starfish's body was torn apart, and the entire ganglion was ripped out and thrown away.

But more starfish discovered something was wrong - this time, they did not escape, but squirmed towards the scouting mother.

Lin Yi didn't dare to be careless. The starfish's tube feet are driven by a hydraulic system. Although it moves slowly, it is extremely powerful. He is not sure whether the reconnaissance mother's relatively thin exoskeleton can withstand it.

The water jet propulsion system was running, and he picked up two starfish, pulled out the ganglion, and threw them away. Subsequently, the opening of the gunna cabin on the side of the reconnaissance mother was opened, and a large number of micronized torpedoes swarmed out.

Just in case, a certain number of micronized torpedoes are still stored inside the genna warehouse used for physical examination of the reconnaissance mother. At this point, it's their turn to come in handy.

The toxins of micronized torpedo flies can effectively kill these starfish without allowing them to regenerate.

Micronized torpedoes operate a water-jet propulsion system, piercing the bodies of the starfish with sharp sword-like protrusions, and then inject deadly toxins.

The reconnaissance mother took this opportunity to break away from the battle, while running the echolocation system, sending out a few sound waves, and continued to explore the surrounding situation. Through this exploration, we discovered something remarkable.

An astonishingly huge echo signal came from not far away, and in this era, there are only two possibilities for such a signal - to be precise, both are one: either a large number of right spiral stones and floating mother nests, or "Kraken"!

Since the previous battle was relatively immersive and there was no time to turn on the echolocation system, the opponent was already quite close. This surprised Lin Yi. For a moment, he ignored the starfish and controlled the fearless soldier to swim in the direction of the signal.

He controlled the reconnaissance mother to swim a certain distance in the direction of the signal transmission. Looking from a distance, with his compound eyes, he could already see the only one, but astonishingly huge corner stone figure - no doubt, it was "Kraken".

What Lin Yi didn't expect was that such a huge "Kraken" actually managed to survive the tsunami. On the contrary, not a single one of the adult helical stones was left, leaving him alone at this time.

But at this time, its condition is not very good. In addition to the two tentacles that Lin Yi had blown off and severed, another tentacle was almost injured in the tsunami. The wounds on the left side of the head caused by the self-destruction bomb and the blind left eye further aggravated the injuries.

But at this moment, what concerned Lin Yi the most was that among the mountains of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, several tentacles of the "Kraken" were covered with starfish at some point, and its other tentacles were also waving, using The hook-like structure at the end penetrates the ganglia of each starfish.

As expected of a cephalopod ahead of its time, it had already discovered where the other party's life gate was. There were starfish corpses all around, and more starfish were lying on the corpses of the same kind, eating.

However, Lin Yi still had some doubts in his heart.

With the maneuverability provided by the "Kraken"'s water jet propulsion system, Starfish shouldn't be able to catch up no matter what. This made Lin Yi a little puzzled.

There is no grievance between the two sides, and there is no quarrel between the well and the river. Why do the starfish insist on attacking the "Kraken" like crazy despite the huge amount of food resources? And why do the "Kraken" want to fight with these starfish? , which also made him a little curious.

With doubts, Lin Yi controlled the reconnaissance mother and continued to swim forward.

"Kraken"'s intact right eye turned and seemed to see the reconnaissance female. But what surprised Lin Yi even more was that the look of contempt in the other party's narrow pupils was no longer replaced by endless sadness.

From such a distance, "Kraken" could see the reconnaissance moth anyway. But it still didn't react at all, killing each starfish one by one as numbly as a machine.

Combined with the fact that along the way, he did not find any adult members of the Orthogonal Orthopedic Stone, let alone the mother nest. Lin Yi guessed that perhaps almost all of their troops, including the mother nest, had been lost in the first round of the most violent tsunami. Now there is only one individual left, "Kraken", who may have lost the ability to continue to survive and reproduce.

Despite doubts in his heart, Lin Yi still planned to add insult to injury and take advantage of the "Kraken"'s heavy damage to kill it, completely end the grudges with the Straight Spiral Stone Nest Group, and prepare to survive the mass extinction with peace of mind.

All the surviving fearless soldiers in the vicinity are rushing towards this sea area with all their strength, preparing to take the opportunity to kill this huge cephalopod creature that looks like a Kraken in the North Sea, and end the war with the Orthogonal Stone Nest that has lasted for an unknown length of time.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred among the densely wriggling starfish on the seabed below the "Kraken".
