The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 90 The battle for the bodies of fearless soldiers (2)

The combination of the carrier horn stone and the self-exploding horn stone is currently the most difficult grade for Lin Yi among the right spiral horn stone nests.

No level other than the fearless soldier in the nest can cause effective damage to the armored body of the carrier horn stone, including brand-new levels such as the micronized hammering army.

And if the fearless soldier is allowed to take action, it will be completely exposed to the attack range of the enemy's self-exploding corner stone.

This also makes such a large number of self-exploding horn stones and the carrier horn stones that carry them far more difficult than the previous sea of ​​self-exploding horn stones.

According to preliminary estimates, if the two sides confront each other head-on like this, the fearless soldiers will suffer considerable losses.

While thinking about it, the carrier corner stone group had already approached the scene, the water jet propulsion system was running, the tentacles were closed in one place, and the armor plates above were tightly sealed, making it difficult for even the poisonous tail needle of the soldier to penetrate.

Only the Dreadnoughts can break the hard shell of carrier hornstones in this state. If they are to crush the soft tissue covered by the armor, the full-tooth Heard shrimp can also do it, but their remaining number at this time is smaller than the carrier hornstones. It is already a drop in the bucket and cannot protect itself.

Now, there are only two choices before Lin Yi. One is to give up on recapturing the corpse of the fearless soldier and retreat backwards. Instead, they sacrifice more fearless soldiers, directly consume the enemy's self-exploding corner stones and carrier corner stones, and then slowly recover the corpses of the fearless soldiers.

If you choose the first response method, the opponent will obtain the corpse of the fearless soldier almost completely, and reverse engineer the results through gene editing.

If you choose the second way to deal with it, although the number of fearless soldiers sacrificed will be more, if the enemy individuals are exhausted, Lin Yi will have enough time to recover the bodies of the fearless soldiers to prevent them from falling into the right spiral stone. Hand of the Hive.

Thinking about this, Lin Yi controlled each of the fearless soldiers to swing their paddling feet, run the water jet propulsion system, and rush straight towards the corner stone group, the carrier of the spiral stone nest group.

Those adult straight spiral horn stones that surrounded the carrier horn stones and the corpses of the fearless soldiers immediately became the targets of the fearless soldiers' attacks. The shells were easily penetrated and crushed by the triangular pyramid-shaped armor-piercing blades.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the inner carrier corner stone loosened its tentacles and prepared to evacuate. But Lin Yi got there first, and the fearless soldier waved his sickle limbs and charged into the group of carrier corner stones, crushing the bodies of each carrier corner stone.

The armor that could block the sickle limbs of the soldier and the blade of the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp had no effect in the face of the brute force brought by the two sets of muscle systems of the Dreadnought. It was easily minced into minced meat, and bright red blood gushed out.

At the same time, countless huge figures like giant ships launched a charge, immediately overpowering the opposite group of carrier corner stones in terms of momentum.

At this moment, the hive mind of the Orthogonal Stone Hive once again recalled the scene of being crushed or minced into pieces by these huge dreadnoughts as if they were massacred individual Orthogonal Stones.

The carrier horn stone risked its life and continued to approach, and its tentacles began to open, revealing the special-shaped shell of the self-exploding horn stone carried below, which is sharp at the front and blunt at the back.

At this time, the fearless soldiers were already approaching, waving their sickle limbs to kill the carrier corner stone in front. As the sickle limbs were swung, the triangular pyramid-shaped blade thorns penetrated into the shells of the horn stones. The cracking sound of cracking is endless in the auditory organs, and the bright red blood spreads and surges in the water waves. Before death, these carrier horn stones opened their tentacles one after another, released the suction cups, put down the self-exploding horn stones on them, and headed straight towards the fearless soldiers. Kill.

Under Lin Yi's control, a large number of ordinary soldiers swung their paddling feet and tails to meet them, and opened their scythes to kill each one of them. The clusters of thorns easily embed themselves into the soft tissue of the self-exploding horn stone.

Bursts of muffled sounds were heard. It was the self-exploding hornstones that discharged the oil in the storage bag at the last moment of their lives, filled them with seawater, allowed the sodium to come into contact with the water, and exploded.

Each soldier was shattered to pieces in the explosion, but in the last period of their lives, under the control of Lin Yi, they risked their lives to push the self-exploding corner stone away from the side of the fearless soldier, trying to save the fearless soldier as much as possible.

But this time, the number of carrier horn stones is not large, and each of the ten tentacles is fully loaded with self-detonating horn stones, resulting in a large number of self-detonating horn stones.

Now, these self-exploding horn stones, carried by the carrier horn stones, broke through the defense line of ordinary soldiers and swordfish-shaped Hed shrimps, and approached the fearless soldiers, but it really made Lin Yi somewhat unable to guard against them.

Seeing this, he simply controlled Binghao to focus on protecting key parts such as the opening of the water jet propulsion system on the side of the fearless soldier. As for other areas with thick exoskeletons, he allowed the self-exploding corner stones to destroy them.

Limited by the structure of the horn stone shell, the self-exploding horn stone can exert its maximum explosive power only by piercing the sharp end of the shell into the target's body.

Just blasting outside the body, even if it explodes close to the exoskeleton, will not cause enough fatal damage. The inner shell and air bag structure of the Fearless Soldier can play a perfect buffering role and reduce the destructive force of shock waves.

But even so, there are still fearless soldiers who suffer varying degrees of damage. Some are just a few scratches on the exoskeleton, while others are more serious but not fatal, such as damaging compound eyes and blowing off appendages.

There was even a fearless soldier whose sword-shaped tail section was completely broken off by the self-exploding horn stone. As the blue horseshoe crab blood surged, the huge body lost its balance for a moment.

However, due to the existence of the water-jet propulsion system, the tail segment of the Dreadnaught no longer plays a propulsive role, but exists only to maintain balance and attack. Even if the tail segment is broken, it can barely swim normally under the balance of the two pairs of paddling feet.

The sound of clashing, muffled sounds, cracking sounds and water flow were mixed together in a chaotic mess, and they were endless in the side line receiving system. As the battle became more intense, the scars on the huge body of the fearless soldier became more dense, and fatal injuries began to appear.

Although the ordinary soldiers tried their best to cover it, a self-exploding corner stone still approached the opening of the Dreadnought soldier's water jet propulsion system, pierced the tip of the shell, triggered the fuse, and detonated the sodium.

Groups of azure blood mist surged with the explosion's shock wave, and another fearless soldier was fatally wounded and was forced to retreat backwards. Beside him, two of the same kind, under Lin Yi's control, lifted up its seriously injured body and moved towards the rear of the battlefield - Lin Yi felt that it could still save it a little more.
  More than ten fearless soldiers received relatively serious injuries, and half of them completely lost their ability to move. They could only reluctantly retreat backwards under the support of the same kind, or fall directly to the seabed.

But more fearless soldiers still dragged their disabled bodies, trailing a trail of azure horseshoe crab blood to kill all the enemies in the enemy formation, smashing the shells of the horned stones one by one. The red blood surged together, and the situation on the battlefield quickly tilted towards Lin Yi's side.
