I don't know whether to describe it as "one" or "one", a half-machine, half-biological creature lying diagonally in a swamp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lu Wu's first reaction when he saw it was "crab". That's right, its whole body is a lot like a crab, especially the feet, which are literally six crab legs. It even has chelicerae - unlike crabs, chelicerae are small, just on the edge of their mouthparts, but they are chelicerae, apparently for eating.

However, the back of the crab is not a carapace, but a metal creation. The entire back is a metal platform with railings around the perimeter. The platform is surrounded by various metal pipes of unknown purpose, as well as some parts that are difficult to guess the correct purpose.

Seeing such a big crab, Lu Wu's first reaction was no different from the rest of the foodie empire. It's not his fault. The food of this world - that is, the clear soup and little water, although certainly nutritious, but the taste is worth criticizing - he has eaten it for too long. In fact, he had tried to get some game to eat more than once before, but finally gave up. Because all the locals think it's a dangerous thing.

Just as foxes on Earth always carry the rabies virus, the world's wildlife is also plagued by a large number of inexplicable diseases – they themselves have been immunized over a long period of time, but they are dangerous to humans. Although the desire for appetite is very important, when it comes to life safety, Lu Wu also has to weigh it more. Besides, the food culture in this place is so backward that there is no such thing as "spices" at all.

Spices usually come from herbs - but Lu Wu doesn't have the spirit of Shennong to taste herbs, and he doesn't have the leisure to do so.

The thought lasted only a moment. Lu Wu reminded himself that although the crab's feet still looked like crustaceans, who could tell if they had become mechanical bodies inside?

In short, now the crab is lying diagonally in the muddy water, with six symmetrical legs on the left and right, three legs on one side stretched out, and three legs on the other side curled up, looking completely incapacitated. But if you look closely, you can still find some signs of life on it - it's too early to say that this thing is dead or broken. But at least on the surface, it doesn't look like it's an offensive weapon.

But on its back, on that metal platform, it wasn't for nothing. There were several bodies hanging from the platform, both human and destroyer. These appear to be corpses, as they are either blocked by a railing or hung by some protrusion, all of which are motionless.

"Partner, go up and have a look!" the master said in his headphones. It's rare that there is a hint of excitement in the master's voice.

"Be careful, this thing may not be dead yet!" Redcoat reminded. "What Kecha Goyat makes, it's not so easy to doom. ”

That being said, it really doesn't look like there's something lurking around this crab. Because the water there is not very deep. And the crab itself has clearly lost its mobility. If this were a trap - the trap of Kecha Goyat would never be so low.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Lu Wu gestured to the magic ring on his hand. "I'll go over and see, and you guys get ready, just in case. He came to the crab. The back of the sloping crab naturally forms a steep slope that can be climbed. Lu Wu quickly climbed onto the platform.

It was now clear that there were six bodies on the platform - one of which was the Destroyer. The destroyer's body was beaten like a hornet's nest, and there were no more holes in it. As for the other dead, they don't look like they were killed by the Destroyer - because the Destroyer's scythe is one by one, and the corpse would never be so complete if it was slashed. These fatalities are more like they died in a traffic accident or something.

Moreover, one of the corpses was quite familiar - if Lu Wu remembered correctly, this person was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel of the regular army. Wearing this kind of clothing means that he should be a corps commander - not a half-hung regiment of a local army like Lu Wu, but a legion of a regular army. The status of the latter is generally higher than that of the former.

"Sure enough, it's this ......" In the headphones, the master let out an exclamation. "It's something of XXX civilization......" The master said a word that was obviously from another language, and the pronunciation of the word was so awkward that it was impossible to repeat the combination of these syllables. But it is undeniable that the word is elegant and gentle.

"Do you know what this is?" Lu Wu subconsciously wanted to ask if this crab could be eaten, but fortunately it was just a knee-jerk reaction. His reason quickly put the Double Ninth Festival, crab meat and other terms far away.

"Well, a technological civilization from another world. The master explained. "Unlike the Earth's big industrial technology, the world's technology tree has high attainments in biotechnology and mechanical technology. Generally speaking, most technological civilizations can have both, but there are not many that are as balanced as they are, and it is easy to be impressed. Ah, I'm not saying that the Earth can't do it, but partner, you have to understand that most of the biotechnology on Earth is designed to allow machines to imitate living things, not living things to imitate machines. Earth's scientific thinking even treats living organisms as well-thought-out machines. ”

Regarding this statement, Lu Wu had to admit that the master was right.

"So, the Destroyer is also that ......" Lu Wu found that he couldn't repeat that term. "What is the creature of civilization?"

"No, it's far off. The master said. "That civilization's tool of war is not a delicate and powerful type like the Destroyer, but ...... Sea of cannon fodder. Their army is mainly ...... Well, creatures similar to rats and cockroaches on Earth are made up of, of course, giant rats and cockroaches. It has a huge number and a tenacious vitality, but at the same time it does not have a long lifespan. You can imagine an army made up of billions of rats, some equipped with flamethrowers for close-range combat, some of them steel claws for hand-to-hand combat, and some of them equipped with concussion cannons for long-range attacks...... Something like a bazooka or a laser launcher for medium range. To put it simply, they take full advantage of the cheapness of biotechnology to overwhelm their enemies with numbers - their armies are a sea of cannon fodder. It doesn't matter how many people die. As long as the corpses are recovered after the war and the organic matter is re-extracted. ”

"What's the deal with the Destroyer?"

"I don't know, it's probably Kecha Goyat who made it himself by combining various technologies. As a god, it needs intelligent beings more than mere cannon fodder. Because in this way, Kecha Goat will have the authority of the Creator...... Forget it, let's not talk about it, mate, anyway, if I'm not mistaken, this thing under our feet is just a simple vehicle...... Wait, partner, the one in front of you is still alive!"

It was indeed alive, because even if the master didn't warn him, Lu Wu heard the legion leader let out a groan full of pain.

Ten minutes later, everything, including the body of the Destroyer, was placed on a dry high ground on the side. The Destroyer has become a hornet's nest and is dead no more, and things aren't much better on the human side. With the exception of the Legionnaire Commander who had survived death (according to examination, he had received a blow to the head and several ribs had been broken), the rest of his body was completely cold. The cause of their death was not because of the attack of the Destroyer, but because of the impact of falling from a height.

That's right, a fall from a height - contrary to everyone's first impression, this crab does not crawl on its thick feet, but on flying. That's right, it's flying. Their feet are mainly adapted to the terrain - they have pointed feet that allow them to land anywhere, including swamps.

"It's horrible...... Everybody's dead......" The Legion Commander said a lot in fits and pieces without being fully conscious. Although the speech was a bit messy and repeated "it's horrible" many times, it still gave people a general understanding of what was going on.

They were the troops that Aqi had left behind to protect the logistics line, but they were attacked by a concentrated attack by Kecha Goat. Aqi's judgment was correct: Kecha Goyat would not allow Huiyue to occupy such a frontline position, so he would inevitably launch a counterattack and pull out the nail of Aqi. But Aqi's judgment was wrong, because Kecha Goyat did not launch a frontal assault as aggressively as expected. In fact, Kecha Goyat was far more cunning than expected. After a series of tentative offensives, it used the crab to send a large number of troops to the rear of Aqi and launched an attack on the supply lines.

The outcome of this battle was not surprising. Although the corps commander was on guard, all he could do was to retreat to the pre-arranged position. They were divided and surrounded in the swamp, and Kecha Goatt patiently peeled off the predetermined positions of the humans piece by piece like a cabbage.

This kind of battle is by no means the effective defense that Aqi envisioned. In fact, the Destroyer's casualties were very low, and Kechakoat was very patient and committed some weapons and equipment that he had never seen before. Little by little, it methodically exerts pressure, pulling out human firing points one by one, destroying their positions. Eventually, the Legion Commander and his remnants realized the terrible truth that if they didn't find a way to break out, they would all die in the swamp.

Luckily, one of his scouts accidentally discovered that the crab was not a sapient creature - it looked like a creature, but was essentially a vehicle and had little intelligence. Anyone, including humans, can manipulate them. Relying on the results of this accidental discovery, several scouts secretly stole a few large crabs.

Then a group of officers led by the corps commander wanted to use the big crab to sneak out of the encirclement. The problem is that Kecha Goyat either sensed this in time, or it was a trap from the start. Before the big crab could fly far, a strange-shaped flying machine in the sky had already caught up. Then a Destroyer was simply brutalized, but directly and effectively thrown into the back of the crab.

The ensuing battle was chaotic. Under normal circumstances, Kecha Goyat would have killed all the thieves this time. But there are always surprises in the battle - the big crab has two exoskeleton armors on its back, one of which is equipped with a single-shot pit cannon, although the first cannon does not immediately kill the destroyer, but directly clears the destroyer's energy shield.

The Destroyer without an energy shield is less terrifying, and is quickly beaten into a hornet's nest. But the Destroyer is indeed a creature with a very tenacious fighting spirit. After slashing the two skeletal armor, it found that it was in a state that it might not be able to fight against so many enemies, so it immediately changed its fighting style - it gave the crab a heavy blow before it died, which directly caused the flying creature to lose control. In this way, the fate of the humans on this bare flying platform can be imagined - either they will be thrown out in the middle of the way, or they will just follow it and fall to the ground. The consequences of a high-altitude fall do not need to be described in detail, and the designers of the big crab did not take into account the problem of "forced landing" at all, and the impact of this kind of fall is not something that the human body can withstand.

The Legion Commander was one of the luckiest of all, God knows what happened when he landed - it seemed that someone else's body provided a cushion for him, and he was the only one who survived. Well, of course, if he hadn't met Lu Wu, his "luck" would have only allowed him to live for a day or two longer, and this last day would undoubtedly have to be spent in excruciating pain.
