The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 82 Enemies coming from five sides
  The appearance of the special inkjet grade and various irregularities made Lin Yi more determined to destroy the Straight Spiral Stone Nest Group as soon as possible - if it continues like this, there is no telling how many more troubles the other party can create.

And as if to confirm Lin Yi's thoughts, fixed echolocation systems in several directions successively returned surprisingly large echo signals. After excluding oneself and the Anomalocaris nest group, there is only one possibility left - the Orthogonal Stone Nest group.

The nearest reconnaissance mother immediately moved closer to confirm the authenticity of the signal - the habit of being a human in his previous life made him still prefer to believe in the vision of compound eyes rather than the average accuracy of the echolocation system.

But soon, the scouts from all directions saw the approaching figure - a gray-white shell with blood-red lines and ten light red tentacles, which was undoubtedly a straight helical stone.

The huge figure of the Nether Owl Stone is mixed in between the adults of the Orthogonal Stone, and countless larvae of the Oriental Orthopedic Stone are densely packed through it, surging forward with a strong sense of oppression.

The huge figure of the Floating Mother Nest appeared among the group of Straight Horned Stones, floating in the water under the heavy protection of the Straight Horned Stones and the Netherworld Octopus Horned Stones.

The Straight Spiral Stone Nest Group actually changed its previous style and took the initiative again. Needless to say, it was natural that they had created something and were ready to test it again.

Thinking about this, all the nearby fearless soldiers began to gather. Ordinary soldiers, pioneering mothers, and micro-torpedo soldiers gathered one after another and gathered towards the place where the straight spiral stone nest group was attacking.

At the same time, the strange shrimp nest group also began to gather troops under his notice. A large number of swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimps and brand-new full-tooth Hurd shrimps gathered together, followed closely behind the fearless soldier shrimp and ordinary soldier shrimp, and headed towards the straight snail. The Corner Stone Nest Group ushered in the advance of the army.

The appearance of this batch of full-tooth Heard shrimps is slightly different from Lin Yi’s original design. There is a sword-like protruding structure on the front end of its head carapace that is similar to the swordfish-shaped Hed shrimp, but is shorter.

Its entire head shell is larger, more similar to the classic shape of the Herd shrimp, but it is triangular in shape, with tooth-like protrusions on the edges, and two horn-like protrusions extending backward from the rear, with four exposed radial openings in the front of the head. The cone and a pair of well-developed appendages make it appear somewhat ferocious.

The edges on both sides of the head shell are sharp, and those tooth-like protrusions can easily saw through the soft tissue of the helical stone, adding an attack method when facing the helical stone.

If the opponent is an enemy with soft parts, using its head shell, appendages and mouth cone as its three sharp weapons, the fully-toothed Heard shrimp can easily defeat an adult straight horned shrimp head-on.

And if the Helical Stone Nest Group uses its shell to confront the enemy and launches a collision attack, then it is time for the fearless soldiers to appear.

With the supply of algae, the number of fearless soldiers dispatched by Lin Yi this time far exceeded any previous time. The densely packed figures swam forward like a fleet with a full sense of oppression. The clusters of blades and sword-like tail sections on the sickle limbs shone with cold light.

In the echolocation system of the reconnaissance motherflies accompanying the team, the echo signals representing the right spiral stone nests are getting closer and closer. In order to prevent those grades that spray ink from appearing, Lin Yi specially controlled the second-generation reconnaissance motherflies to set off with the team. Use the echolocation system to continuously lock the position of the Helical Stone Nest Army.

As for the Anomalocaris nest, Lin Yi was unable to transmit a large amount of information in real time, so he had to give up. If the opponent really used inkjet tactics, he could only be prepared to lose the support of the Anomalocaris nest.

For a colony of Anomalocaris that relies on sight, the loss of vision is a severe blow. The classic combination of the three-eyed Hurd shrimp and the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp is directly abolished, and the full-tooth Hurd shrimp and ordinary Anomalocaris will also be seriously affected. Even Lin Yi is not sure whether the echolocation system can perfectly replace vision as the main means of perception. One can only hope that the other party's perception method is not any better than his.

Soon, the figure of the straight helical stone appeared in the compound eyes of the reconnaissance female and the three-eyed Hed shrimp. At the same time, the opponent also discovered the army of Lin Yi and the strange shrimp nests. One after another, the straight spiral horn stones and the octopus horn stones opened their tentacles and ran the water jet propulsion system to kill forward.

This time, without waiting for the fearless soldiers to step forward, the hive mind of the Anomalocaris swarm controlled the full-tooth Hed shrimp to swing its swimming leaves forward, expand its appendages, and face the group of straight-horned rocks in front of it.

Seeing this, the snails also waved their tentacles, and a large number of larvae escaped from the tentacles, running the water jet propulsion system to kill the full-toothed Hed shrimp rushing forward.

In the army, the swordfish-shaped Hed shrimp swung its leaf legs that swept back at a small angle, and used the water jet propulsion system in its body to kill forward. The sharp sword-like protrusions swiftly struck past, and easily passed by the larvae of the Orthogonalis striata. A bloody path was carved out of the dense formation.

At this moment, the old man from the former dynasty who had been beaten back by the spiral stone and was forced to escape into the abyss of the ocean to survive once again became the first-generation apex predator in the history of earth's life that was once so majestic and proud of the top of all insects. By.

The heroic spirit is restless, and its bloodline is not broken. Perhaps each nest group is a microcosm of the long evolutionary history of the group to which it belongs. The nests of Anomalocaris are just like the Deinophoridae. Even if they survive in the world, they will wait for an opportunity to reappear, leaving a trace of their existence in the world, just like the final swan song of the Pasteurian shrimp.

The full-tooth Hed shrimp has already entered the group of snails with its appendages spread wide. Its sharp four-radiated mouth cone bloomed like a drop of blood and slashed hard at the tentacles of a snail.

Dark red blood gushed out, and more full-toothed Hed shrimps were fighting with the right spiral horns.

Under the same body size, the body structure of arthropods is often the most suitable for fighting, and the same is true for pan-arthropods. Since the majority of the body length of the Helicopterus is the shell part, the actual size is similar to that of the full-toothed Heard shrimp.

Faced with the highly specialized full-toothed Heard shrimp that targets straight helical stones, the opponent can't take any advantage of it. After a while, the blood mist filled the air, and countless straight helical stone adults died under the mouth cone of the full-toothed Heder shrimp.

At the same time, seeing that the time was right, bursts of low-frequency sound waves came out from behind Lin Yi's army, from the body of Kao Muhao. The armor plates on the sides of the body also opened up, releasing a large number of micron torpedoes and sodium-containing micron torpedoes.

With the help of the water jet propulsion system, these tiny figures shot out like arrows from a bow string, killing the Straight Helical Corner Stones behind them. More of them rushed towards the Netherworld Horned Rocks, trying to deal with the enemy. High value targets.

Countless slender eel-like figures twisted and charged forward in a daze. A pair of scarlet-blooded eyes flashed with murderous intent - the leader Ancient Jaw. After the Nether Octopus Horn Stone no longer poses a threat, they will once again become a mad dog in the sea that devours everything.

The fearless soldiers also used their water jet propulsion system to attack - another battle of unprecedented scale was about to begin.
