The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 328 Breeding Grade
The overall appearance of the improved armor-piercing single-headed bullet is very different from the original one. It is no longer a full-caliber powder-loaded bullet used to directly destroy heavy armored cans such as giant horseshoe crabs, but a brand-new, powder-free bullet that maximizes the armor-piercing capability.

The new armor-piercing single-headed projectile looks like a short spear. The spear head is composed of a hard exoskeleton with three ridges, while the middle section returns to a cylindrical shape, and the rear end is composed of four triangular wings that are similar in shape to the dorsal leaves of a Poseidon helmet shrimp.

In a sense, this is equivalent to a fin-stabilized armor-piercing projectile that is improved based on the structure of the swarm organism, except that the projectile's wings are specialized from the swimming leaf structure and the limb structure, and can fold themselves, so it is fired in full caliber rather than sub-caliber.

The diameter of thirty millimeters makes it large enough to cause sufficient aftereffect damage after penetrating the target's armor or shell. It should be more than enough to deal with this huge alien raider dragon, which still seems to be within the scope of ordinary creatures.

But the opponent seemed to have sensed something, and its huge body suddenly tilted to one side at the moment the Mad Saw Ant bullet was fired. The first bullet whizzed past its side, but it did not dodge the second one.

The hideous blade-like bone protrusion extending from the side of its head took the blow for it, and the thick blade broke at the root, and the entire head was almost torn apart, causing it to lose balance.

A pair of claws on its forelimbs stretched out, with the tips piercing into the ground, barely stabilizing its huge body. Then, its huge body once again charged towards the cluster of crazy saw-toothed ants in front of it. The scars and splattered acidic blood made it look even more hideous.

Several blazing flames burst out, forming a wall of fire in front of the giant raiding dragon. It was the fire-breathing saw ants mixed in the ant colony that once again activated a series of organ structures at the end of their abdomens that spewed flames, sweeping away the enemies coming forward.

In the firelight, the huge body opened its claws in the flames and slashed fiercely at a mad saw-ant in front of it. The body covered with flames was like a Ghost Rider, killing straight forward.

A loud sound of collision echoed, as a pair of claws on the back of the Crazy Tooth Saw Ant collided with the claws of the giant Raider Dragon. With the dual power of hydraulic muscles and fibrous muscles and the powerful grip of the tarsal claws, it was able to withstand the powerful blow.

Then, the Crazy Tooth Saw Ant bent its abdomen and dense shotgun pellets were ejected at close range, penetrating into the shell of the giant raider dragon, which was either bone armor or some other structure. Acidic blood flowed out from the open-tube circulatory system and dripped onto the body of the Crazy Tooth Saw Ant with its bent abdomen.

However, Lin Yi specially added a layer of corrosion-resistant coating on the surface of the exoskeletons of these crazy saw-toothed ants to prevent corrosion from the blood of the raiding dragon. This was unethical and made the combined defense system that forced all creatures attacking it to exchange injuries for injuries useless.

Seeing this situation, the first ones to become restless were the remaining group of pursuers in the sky - this time, they seemed to be endless as they continued to swoop down one after another, attacking the swarm of crazy saw ants entangled with the giant raider dragon.

Several fire-breathing saw ants once again spewed out columns of blazing fire, covering the group of pursuers that swooped down. However, they were obviously not as fire-resistant as the raiding dragons, and fell down with screams.

At the same time, the echolocation system also sensed that another echo signal was approaching - and its body shape showed that the existence behind it seemed to have played all its cards and would soon be powerless to turn the tide. In the vision of the ancient web-winged flying insect, the true body shape of the attacking individual appeared - a huge head with the characteristics of a raider dragon connected to a familiar front half, but a pair of forelimbs were surprisingly developed, and they were not attack structures, but normal support and stepping structures.

At this moment, this pair of strong forelimbs were supporting the front half of its body, which was even larger than the previous Raider Dragon with huge claws, while the hind half was dragged directly on the ground, wriggling on the ground with the movement of the forelimbs, like a fat skeleton crawler.

The raptors did not have an abdominal rib structure similar to the terrestrial lizards, and their entire hindquarters dragged on the ground were extremely bloated and fat, reminiscent of the abdomen of a termite queen. Although not that exaggerated, it was still quite advanced for vertebrates.

Where the hind limbs should have been, a pair of strange, fully bladed sharp appendages extended upwards, as if they had become some kind of attack structure that was better than nothing. Behind the fat abdomen, the tail was so short that it was almost invisible.

Considering that the Raiderosaurus is a eusocial animal, this must be the reproductive grade of the Alien Raiderosaurus species, similar to the "Queen Raiderosaurus" of the queen ants and queen bees, and the one with claws before may be a male with reproductive ability, similar to the "King Raiderosaurus" of the termite king.

While the dragon was thinking, two special chamber structures suddenly opened above the head of the huge body of the Queen of Raiders. Then, two bunches of slender spikes shot out and fell into the group of crazy saw ants like a rain of arrows.

The force of these spikes is not small, and the shells of ordinary native creatures on Dikla Star may not be able to resist them. But for the Crazy Tooth Saw Ant, it is not enough. With the sound of clanging, the spikes are directly bounced off by the exoskeleton, and even if some pierce the surface, they are quickly thrown away.

However, the opponent did not seem to intend to rely on this wave of spikes to cause damage - taking this opportunity, countless wriggling sac-like structures were squeezed out from the opponent's huge abdomen, fell to the ground, and quickly began to shrink.

Under the translucent shell of the sac-like structure, there are pursuers! The familiar tentacled head and the structure behind the brain are exactly the same as the flying dragon body, but the body of this raider dragon is weird - these two very different weird creatures are actually the same in a sense.

The raiding dragon queen roared, and the pursuers broke out of the eggs and flapped their wings to take off. Then, it opened its jaws, and countless sticky liquids splashed out, splashing on the raiding dragon king who was still fighting a bloody battle in front of it. The flames that were still burning on its body were immediately extinguished, and even those shocking injuries showed a tendency to heal after being completely covered by the liquid.

Obviously, for ordinary opponents, the combination of the Raiding Dragon King and the Raiding Dragon Queen, two special grades that reproduced and possessed a series of special abilities, was quite difficult to deal with. But at this moment, Lin Yi felt nothing in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.

This was because several Crazy Tooth Saw Ants in the back row had already loaded their armor-piercing bullets and activated their electric column organs, ready to go. And this time, the Raider Dragon King, who was still fighting with other Crazy Tooth Saw Ants, had no way to escape and could no longer perform a miraculous dodge.
