The evolution of insect swarms from XNUMX million years ago

Chapter 95 Under the Darkness
  A large number of adult helical stones waved their tentacles and ran the water jet propulsion system to kill the fearless soldiers.

There are figures of carrier horn stones mixed in, but there are not many. It seems that in the last large-scale battle, most of the self-destructing horn stones have been consumed, and now only these pitiful few are left.

The figure with several swollen abdomens and three pairs of paddling legs swung its paddling legs, running the water jet propulsion system to rush forward - it was a brand new level of adhesive self-destruction.

Under Lin Yi's control, they slowly approached the carrier hornstones mixed in the group of orthospiral hornstones, and took the opportunity to attach to the shell of the carrier hornstones.

The tentacles of the carrier horn stone are covered with armor plates, and their flexibility is limited, making it difficult to attack the approaching sticky self-destruction. Lin Yi easily controlled it and attached it to the thick shell of the carrier horn stone.

Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled sound, and the blue horseshoe crab blood spread in the seawater along with the shock wave, mixed with the crimson blood of the carrier corner stone and a large number of bubbles that spewed out after the air chamber ruptured.

Then, a series of smaller muffled sounds were heard, and more red blood surged out - it was the self-exploding corner stones carried by the carrier corner stone that exploded in series.

In the first battle with the self-destructing horn, one carrier horn stone was easily replaced with the ten self-destructing horn stones it carried.

Considering the nutrients consumed by ten self-exploding horn stones and one carrier horn stone, it is a sure profit to replace them with one sticky self-exploding horn stone.

The muffled sounds of explosions sounded one after another, and the opponent's few carrier corner stones were completely wiped out, no longer posing any threat to the fearless soldiers.

Without any scruples, the fearless soldier immediately waved his sickle limbs and ran the water jet propulsion system to join the battlefield. When the well-developed sickle limbs opened and closed, the shells of the adult helical stones were easily shattered, and they fell weakly dragging a series of bubbles downwards.

And it seems that the momentum of the fearless soldiers is unstoppable, and the Zhihejiao Stone Nest Group finally no longer hides, showing a trump card in a sense.

On the battlefield, countless horned stone individuals were seen waving tentacle sodium, running the water jet propulsion system and floating up to a position close to the water surface, opening their tentacles wide, revealing the funnel structure below the tentacles.

The next second, a black ink-like liquid suddenly spurted out from the funnel structure and spread in the sea water - the ink-jet horn stone mentioned by the Anomalocaris nest finally appeared.

It seems that what the other party said is true. There are indeed existences of this level in the Straight Spiral Stone Nest Group. It’s just that for some unknown reason, these ink-jet horn stones have not been taken out by the right spiral horn stone nest group until now.

The ink spreads, gradually covering the figures of the straight spiral horn stone, the swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp, and the fearless soldier, which are the main arms of the three parties participating in the war.

The swordfish-shaped Hurd shrimp and full-toothed Hurd shrimp that came following them relied entirely on sight to detect enemies. At this time, they had lost their target and had to retreat temporarily to avoid losses.

Lin Yi also controlled the reconnaissance drones at the rear to activate the echolocation system, and at the same time released the micron receivers in the gantry on his side, and began to assist the positioning of the soldiers and fearless soldiers in the front.

Previously, because the density of the Straight Spiral Stone Nest Group's troops had made it easy for Lin Yi to locate the enemy with just sight, he did not activate the mother's echolocation system. Now, that's when the echolocation system comes into play.

The signal is transmitted from the vocal organs of each reconnaissance female, and is transmitted forward along the sea water. But just before the micronized receiver was in place, the signal was transmitted back from the lateral line system of the reconnaissance mother.

The number of echo signals sent back from the front is astonishing, but since the micron receiver is not yet in place, Lin Yi cannot know the specific number of signals. He can only know that the number is quite exaggerated and the stations are extremely dense.

The micronized receiver is quickly in place, and the lateral line structure on the side of the body begins to receive detailed echo signals from the front and simply locates them.

The detailed positions of the individuals in front of him soon appeared in his consciousness. Even if there is a slight error, the destructive power of the Dreadnaught's sickle limbs and the relative size of both sides will not have a big impact.

Under the thick ink, the real threat is the carrier horn stone and the self-exploding horn stone group. And perhaps because they had all been lost before, these two levels of individuals did not appear here. This is undoubtedly good news.

But what is surprising is that in the distance, even with precise positioning assisted by micron receivers, the signal returned is still a huge and single signal source.

Based on the size of the echo signal, it is estimated that if it is really a single individual, its size is even larger than the floating mother nest of the right spiral stone nest group.

And in the echolocation system, its general shape is a long strip, not approximately spherical like the floating mother nest - if the floating mother nest and a large number of orthohelical stone individuals were not arranged in such a shape, then there would be only A possibility.

That is, an unprecedentedly large horned stone individual, surpassing all cephalopods in later generations, a huge sea monster like the cephalopod monsters in various cultural works of later generations, is coming towards this place!
  For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Yi's consciousness, but soon, he calmed down and controlled the fearless soldiers to float upwards and kill directly at the ink-jet horn stones that were still spraying ink.

I don't know how they sensed it in the thick ink. These ink-jet horn stones easily spotted the approaching fearless soldiers like eyes behind their backs. With a wave of their tentacles, they sprayed out a thicker stream of ink and retreated.

Maybe the other party thought that the fearless soldier had just approached this place by mistake, and was unaware of the existence of the echolocation system.

Through the echolocation system, Lin Yi immediately locked the location of these inkjet corner stones and controlled the fearless soldiers to fight forward with their waterjet propulsion systems.

The well-developed sickle limbs were scooped up and clamped onto the shell of the ink-jet horn stone. With a crackling sound, the triangular pyramid-shaped blade easily shattered its shell. Immediately, he stretched out another pair of smaller sickle limbs under the head, directly mincing his flesh and blood tissue together.

The shell strength of the inkjet hornstone is not as strong as that of the straight spiral hornstone, and it looks so fragile in front of the fearless soldier's sickle limb.

The red blood mixed with the ink surged, and each ink-jet stone was directly killed by the fearless soldier. And those straight spiral stones did not pose any threat at all, and they were killed one by one by Lin Yi's fearless soldiers as easily as a massacre.

And just when the inkjet corner stones were about to be slaughtered by Lin Yi, the astonishingly huge signal sent back from the distance was slowly approaching. And, it still appears in the echolocation system as a single, surprisingly large signal.

Under the thick ink and turbidity, it seemed that a giant beast from the deep sea was lurking, opening its mouth wide and trying to swallow the entire force of Lin Yi's nest.
