The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 52 Violent demolition
  On the side, the battle between the ordinary soldier and the adult straight horned stone was a bit lackluster.

This time, about half of the soldiers were brand new, with templates for stinging insect venom glands installed. These "2.5-generation soldiers" have become the main force of the attack.

Lin Yi's tactics have not changed. He still takes advantage of the weakness of the straight spiral stone to attack multiple targets at the same time, and uses the cooperation between soldiers to achieve his goal.

The ordinary second-generation soldiers used their own bodies to restrain the Heliconia. The ones equipped with the venom glands of the stinging insects waited for the opportunity to step forward and use their tail needles to inject poison into the body of the Heliconia.

The sickle limbs swung, the tentacles wrapped around the wrists, and red and blue blood mixed with each other and surged out. From time to time, corpses were spinning and falling with a trail of blood.

But on this meat grinder-like battlefield, there are several places where the style of painting is incompatible with other places. It doesn't look like a battlefield, but more like a massacre.

The huge body of the fearless soldier was still wandering in the middle of the battlefield, and its pair of well-developed sickle limbs had already shattered the shells of countless adult snails and torn apart the flesh of how many more.

The triangular pyramidal blade is a good tool for cutting and breaking armor. With just one clip, it can shatter the shell of the helical stone or directly cut it in half.

After an unknown number of adult shells were shattered by the sickle limbs of the Dreadnought Soldiers, the Straight Snails finally changed their tactics and no longer tried to deal with the huge Dreadnought Soldiers like they did with ordinary soldiers.

Knowing that the shell could no longer protect the soft tissue, they stopped their meaningless charge. Instead, the shell faced backwards and the soft tissue faced forward. They opened their tentacles and horny beaks, trying to bite the fearless soldiers. .

But Lin Yi also took advantage of the situation and controlled the fearless soldier to open his sickle limbs and clamp the end of the straight spiral stone shell. With a little force, the triangular pyramid-shaped blade was embedded in the shell.

The straight horn stone waved its tentacles desperately, and the sharp horns opened and closed its beak, but it still couldn't break away from the huge power of the fearless soldier.

Immediately, the pair of smaller sickle limbs on both sides of the fearless soldier's mouth opened slightly, tightly clamping the soft tissue of the helix. The big pair of sickle limbs immediately stretched forward.

Two pairs of sickle limbs, one large and one small, cooperated to pull the flesh and blood tissue of the helical stone.

Under the huge force brought by the two sets of muscle systems, the soft tissue of the Orthogonal Stone was pulled out of the shell along with the internal organs, and blood mixed with unknown tissue fluid and internal organ fragments surged out.

Immediately, the fearless soldier's chelicerae opened and closed, and slowly sent it under the head. The improved jaw base structure opened and closed, easily grinding the still twitching soft tissue of the helical stone, and completely brought it into the mouth. .

The scene didn't look like a life-and-death fight at all, but rather like picking up a snail and pulling out the meat inside the shell. It's just that the shell of this "snail" is straight and nearly ten meters long.

In this regard, Lin Yi said that eating squid is an important part of the process of becoming an ocean overlord and must be tasted.
  More straight spiral-horned stones surged forward from all directions, surrounding the fearless soldier who was killing everyone in an attempt to find its weakness.

But the whole body of the fearless soldier is covered by a strong composite armor-style exoskeleton, and even the opening armor plates of the Gana Cang are tightly closed when closed, leaving no flaws.

There are also some adult straight horned stones waving their tentacles and rushing straight behind the fearless soldier. The funnel connected to the water jet propulsion system turns around, pushes back, and attacks in the opposite direction, trying to surprise the fearless soldier's rear body.

However, the compound eyes of the rear-exploiting mother-hao transmitted the field of vision into Lin Yi's consciousness in real time, making the fearless soldier-hao easily lock onto the incoming straight spiral stone as if it had eyes on its back.

The sword-shaped tail section of the fearless soldier swung and struck down hard. The shell of the straight spiral stone immediately broke and lost its balance. Ordinary soldiers from the rear swarmed up, and their sickle limbs covered with thorns easily tore the soft parts of the wounded Orthos into pieces.

In this way, the ten fearless soldiers transformed into terrifying killing machines under Lin Yi's control. The blood waves were thick and thick wherever they passed, and the huge body nearly ten meters long was shrouded in blood mist.

Under the attack of the fearless soldiers, more than half of the adult helical stones from three directions were quickly lost, and the remains and broken shells were scattered all over the seabed.

Under such efficient slaughter, the Straw Horn Stone nest group was quickly defeated. The bodies of a large number of adult Straight Horn Stones drew arcs in the water, turned around, and seemed to be preparing to return to defend the mother nest.

All the larvae's horned stones were left behind and they desperately blocked the progress of the fearless soldiers and ordinary soldiers. However, they were no match for the soldiers, so they were chopped into two pieces.

The fearless soldier didn't even care. The water flow caused by the advance would keep the larvae of the Orthospermum away.

On the contrary, because the larvae Orthophyllum no longer blocked it, the attack of the miniaturized torpedo became bolder.

More adults of Orthospermum were poisoned to death, leaving corpses floating in the water on the way to retreat.

And the pursuit continues. Previously, the miniaturized spy had found an opportunity to attach itself to the opponent's floating nest. Now under his position, Lin Yi was able to control the fearless soldiers all the way to the location of the opponent's nest.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, the Zhiluojiao Stones once again rushed forward like crazy, desperately surrounding the fearless soldiers.

However, under Lin Yi's orderly coordination and command, the fearless soldiers, ordinary soldiers, and micro-torpedo soldiers worked closely together to easily kill the straight spiral horns approaching one after another.

And since the moving speed of the floating mother nest is not faster than that of the adult helical stone, it is naturally inevitable to avoid it. When the last adult snail died, the opponent's floating nest was exposed to the fearless soldier's well-developed sickle limbs.

Controlling the fearless soldier, he opened his scythes wide and went straight towards the opponent's six-pointed star-shaped floating mother nest with a corner stone shell extending outward.

Skillfully clamping the shell extending outward from the mother nest, the sickle limbs suddenly exerted force and easily shattered one corner of the shell. The huge body of the floating mother nest immediately became difficult to maintain balance and began to shake.

The sickle limbs continued to exert force and skillfully continued to break open the remaining shells, until the huge body of the floating brood could no longer maintain balance and fell feebly downwards.

Then, the fearless soldier's sickle limb slowly clamped onto the main body of the floating mother nest, and the triangular pyramid-shaped blades easily embedded in it and began to tear away the flesh and blood.

With just one tear, the main body of the floating mother nest was torn in half, dragging a trail of tissue fluid of unknown composition downwards.

Behind, under the control of Lin Yi, one's own floating mother nest and a large number of workers also began to advance slowly, driven by the filtering mother's nest, preparing to recover the body of the straight spiral stone and the remains of the opponent's floating mother nest.

Based on the last experience, absorbing the enemy's brood seemed to further strengthen the brood's gene editing capabilities, which made Lin Yi fall into deep thought.
