Volume 4 Chapter 49 The Floating Worm and the Butterfly Head Worm

The Dhaka hive is a blood-colored spherical shape covered in pulsating lines like blood vessels. This makes the Dhaka hive look more like a giant living creature than a living nest.

And, from the point of view of its function, it is also more like the biological womb that gives birth to the creatures of Dhaka. This is because the Dhaka hive doesn't have any defense mechanisms of its own. The appearance of the hive is even somewhat transparent, and through the dense vein lines, you can vaguely see egg-shaped objects of different sizes inside.

According to information from the Demon Realm, Dhaka's lair may also possess the ability to teleport. It's just that Dhaka's lair will quickly wither and disappear once it is breached, and even the demonic creatures who are extremely good at analyzing the wreckage cannot obtain any information about its internal functions. In addition, Dhaka's lair will also self-destruct, and even if it is swallowed by a powerful devouring fusion creature, it can completely destroy its own functions before it can be digested. The reason why it is speculated that the Dhaka Lair has a spatial teleportation function is due to the observation that some powerful Dhaka bio units can move quickly between several nests. However, these biological units do not have the ability to move in space on a single soldier, so it is speculated that they can quickly teleport through a spatial movement function in Dhaka's lair to achieve the purpose of supporting various nests.

However, this feature should also be very demanding on the Dhaka hives themselves, at least in those randomly placed outpost nests, no similar phenomenon has been found. Therefore, Shi Leiyin didn't have to worry about suddenly rushing a high-level Dhaka creature from this Dhaka hive.

The shape of the nest on the ground resembles that of a hornet. The round ball, which was ten meters in diameter, was stuck in the gap between several stone pillars. Connected to the surrounding stone pillars by a large number of blood-colored meridian-like objects, the hive only touches the ground with a tiny fraction of the bottom, making it look more like it is being hung in the air between the stone pillars.

With the appearance of the first floating worm, the same cone-shaped sacs appeared one after another on the Dhaka hive, and a total of five floating worms appeared around the hive.

The head and body of the floater are completely connected, and there is no neck or anything like that. The whole body is round and pointed, like a melon seed. The shell is the same black color as the creatures of Dhaka, exuding a metallic luster, and the lines on the body surface are very similar to those of insect pupa, and traces of insect-like feet can be seen. However, the aerobatic itself does not have limbs like insects, only a few pairs of small wings on its back that do not match its body.

These wings are not tools for airborne insects to stay in the air, but rather regulatory organs that help them steer.

The aeronautical bug mainly relies on the air sacs in its body to adjust its position in the air and moves by jet air currents. However, its aerodynamic body structure makes it difficult to rely on the wings behind it to do so. At the same time, these small wings are also responsible for assisting the aerobastic insect to adjust its position at certain times.

The aerobalist has three pairs of compound eyes, the largest of which is located at the tip of the head. This pair of compound eyes does not have optical vision, and is mainly used to detect invisible light waves such as electromagnetic waves and infrared rays.

The other two pairs of compound eyes sit side by side in front of the head like spiders, allowing the floating insects to have an ultra-wide field of view close to 270 degrees.

However, for Shi Leiyin, who can mimic camouflage and shield himself from electromagnetic waves and thermal radiation, the three pairs of compound eyes of the floating insect are just decorations.

It's just that when one of the floating insects suddenly opened its mouth, Shi Leiyin was fierce.

According to the information that Shi Leiyin learned, although the floating worm has what looks like a mouth, it actually has no effect. In the intelligence, the Floater does not even make a chirp.

But now in front of Shi Leiyin, the floating worm of this hive opened its mouth and emitted ultrasound.

"There are actually bats on the second floor, this guy is transformed from bats," Shi Leiyin thought depressedly.

One of the main reasons for the strength of Dhaka creatures is their ability to absorb infected creatures, and these aerosplanaries are apparently hatched by infecting creatures such as bats. Therefore, the ultrasonic exploration ability of bats is supplemented with the detection ability of floating insects.

Due to the relationship of intelligence, although Shi Leiyin strengthened his shielding of the visual and thermal imaging capabilities of floating insects, he did not deliberately absorb ultrasound. When the floating insects were carrying out ultrasonic detection, Shi Leiyin wanted to absorb and shield again, but it was too late.

At the same time as the first floating insect opened its mouth to emit ultrasonic waves, the five floating insects in the air turned their heads in the direction of Shi Leiyin almost at the same time.

Immediately after, Shi Leiyin felt a burst of hair in his heart. Unable to maintain the effect of mimicry camouflage, Shi Leiyin hurriedly dodged to the side. Five laser-like red beams of light shot out of the hive the moment she left, crossing through where she had been and piercing through several trees and stone pillars around her.

"The butterfly head worm has hatched," Shi Leiyin was even more depressed. Originally, it was found that this hive was not guarded by a few bladed insects, and it should be able to be destroyed extremely easily, and even try to devour and fuse.

Unexpectedly, I just observed for a while, and not only the floating insects appeared, but even the butterfly head insects as long-range fire support also appeared.

The Butterfly Head Worm, nicknamed the Flowering Toilet by the Akers because of its appearance, is a low-level long-range fire support unit of the Dhaka creatures.

Butterfly head is a typical insect-type body structure, which is divided into three main parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. The cephalothorax and abdomen are at right angles, like a centaur. However, the abdomen is flat and long, oval-shaped, and the three pairs of feet are stubby and stubby, and they do not have the ability to support the whole body, and can only assist the butterfly head on both sides of the abdomen to move slowly. The chest is square and has extremely hard armor. The combination of the chest and abdomen makes it not look like a centaur, but is extremely similar to an automatic toilet.

The head of the butterfly beetle is the origin of its name. The usual head is like a wrapped chrysalis and is spherical. During the attack, the carapace that wraps around the head spreads out like butterfly wings, revealing the true head of the butterfly head insect. The wing-like carapace has pattern-like patterns inside it, which can quickly gather the surrounding heat energy, and through the special structure at the top of the butterfly beetle's head, combined with the dark matter energy in the butterfly beetle's body, it forms a red high-energy ray to attack the target.

Because the butterfly-headed insect only spreads its head at the moment of attack, revealing its butterfly-like image, it is nicknamed a flowering toilet.
