Chapter 585: Bugs
Following the direction from which the sound came, Dio, who flew into the sky, quickly found the "flying insect".
Somewhat to Dio's surprise, in his eyes, the so-called "flying insect" did not look like a bug at all.
Aside from the fact that it has two insect-like compound eyes on its head, and its mouth is also a pincer-shaped mouth similar to that of many insects, this so-called "flying insect" does not have many insect features.
Whether it is the humanoid body and limbs, or the dense scales on the body, or the pair of huge bat wings behind it, it proves that this "flying insect" has a very close connection with the demons.
This made Dio frown.
But before he could think about it, the "flying insect" that noticed him took the initiative to attack.
"Quack......"
After opening its mouth and letting out a strange scream, the "flying insect" hovered in the air, throwing the "tail" that had been hidden behind it from its crotch to the front of it.
What made Dio's eyebrows furrow was that the part he mistook for the "tail" was actually a limb that resembled the belly of a locust, and this strange-looking belly was rapidly expanding at this time.
As the abdomen of this worm contracted suddenly, the next moment, the monster called the "flying insect" by the demons opened its mouth and spewed out several dark green acid balls towards Dio.
The corners of his mouth twitched, Dio, without the idea of testing the specific power of these things, but while decisively dodging, he threw three black energy balls towards the "flying insect".
After surrounding the "flying insect" in a zigzag shape, the three energy balls disintegrated at the same time, turning into nine dark flying knives!
"Quack Quack ......"
Although the "Flying Worm" had already begun to retreat when Dio threw out the energy ball, it still could not dodge the surprise attack of the dark throwing knives that suddenly accelerated, and at the same time as being hit by two knives on its body, the tail like the belly of the worm was directly cut off by a dark flying knife!
The "flying insect", who had lost part of his limb, did not look at his severed limb again, but turned around and rushed directly towards Dior.
This made Dio subconsciously speculate that the strange-looking belly of the insect should be the key to these "flying insects" being able to spit out acid clusters.
Perhaps, the organ used by these "flying insects" to store acid is this section of the worm's belly?
However, without Dior's superb skills, it would be very difficult to destroy the belly of these insects hidden behind them by the "flying insects". Therefore, this part cannot be called the weakness of the "flying insects". And judging from the fact that this "flying insect" can still attack itself vigorously after the belly of the worm is cut off, the loss of this part should only be a means for them to attack from a distance, and the impact on strength and vitality is actually not great.
Just as Dio was silently thinking, the "flying insect" that had quickly approached him directly reached out and grabbed the two slender arms.
With a flap of wings behind his back, Dio easily dodged the attack of the "Flying Worm", and was in the mood to comment on the offensive of the "Flying Worm": "The speed and strength are okay, but the skills are a little bad, and I can't even make temporary moves." ”
That's right, but from Dio's personal experience, the claw attack of this "flying insect" is already comparable to the power of the full force of the sheep's head monsters of the demons, and it is still very threatening for ordinary demons.
After commenting on the attack of the "flying insect", before the "flying insect" could make any moves, Dio waved a chain.
Meteor Hammer of "Wrath"!
Even if it didn't increase its power by increasing its size, the "angry" hammer blow was still not something that the "flying insect" could resist. The "flying insect", which had no time to dodge, directly raised its head and spewed out a large mouthful of light green blood after being hit in the chest by "anger", and then fell headlong to the ground.
After observing in the air for a while and making sure that the "flying insect" had completely died, Dio, whose face was a little solemn, slowly landed.
After personally fighting the "Flying Worm", Dio felt that the Demon Clan's inference about the strength of this "Flying Worm" was still very reliable.
Whether it is attack or defense, this "flying insect" has the combat power of a sheep head monster clan comparable to the strength of the sixth order. And while being close and far, these monsters named "Flying Insects" can also fly! Taken together in this way, this kind of "flying insect" does have an overall strength that is better than the sixth order, but it is not yet up to the seventh order.
However, the sheep-headed monster clan can already be regarded as the backbone of the devil series, after all, in a state of madness, the sheep-headed monsters can completely fight against the monsters of the seventh-order demon series, which is definitely not weak.
In contrast, this so-called "flying insect" is just cannon fodder at the bottom of the Void Zerg! This can be seen from the fact that their strength is only a little stronger than those "jumping insects" at the bottom......
Dior, who came to this conclusion, was naturally not in a good mood.
You know, the demons are known for their strength, but even the individual strength of the demons is not as good as these Void Zergs, let alone other races.
Even a small force of the Demon Race can run rampant in the main plane, if the Void Zerg is allowed to run to the main plane, it is estimated that the entire main plane will be turned upside down by them, right?
This is definitely not good news for Aisha, who has a certain mission.
However, while determining the specific strength of these Void Zergs, Dio was also sure that Aisha's mission should be related to these extremely dangerous Void Zergs.
If Aisha can solve the problems related to these Void Zerg, then she is definitely qualified to be called the "savior" of this world.
The premise is that Aisha can find a real and effective solution.
Shaking his head, Dio left these trivial matters behind, and squatted directly next to the corpse of the "flying insect", and began to further investigate the corpse of the Void Zerg.
It was only then that Dio was a little stunned to find that the inference he thought that the "flying insect" was flying by relying on the pair of huge "bat wings" was actually wrong!
The "bat wings" behind this "flying insect" actually just look like a pair of "bat wings", and they are still elytra belonging to the insect class.
Like insects such as beetles or unicorns, the pair of "bat wings" located on the back of the "flying insects" are actually only elytra that protect the two pairs of membranous wings underneath them. Just like a scabbard, when the "flying insects" are not flying, the "bat wings" will be like two shields, completely wrapping the other two pairs of more fragile and translucent membranous wings behind the "flying insects", so that they will not become the weak points of the "flying insects".
When the "flying insects" are flying, this pair of "bat wings" is actually completely immobile. The impetus that propelled the "flying insects" forward all came from the two pairs of almost transparent membranous wings that had been protected.
In other words, when the "flying insect" is flying in mid-air, it is difficult for enemies from other angles to attack the two more fragile membranous wings of the "flying insect" except for the enemy who is just on the underside of the "flying insect".
"But if that's ......"
Thinking of this, Dio frowned again: "There is no need for this kind of Void Zerg to evolve their wings into this way. ”
Compared to the flattened shape of this "bat wing", the elytra of insects such as beetles or unicorns are the most suitable organs for this type of "flying insects". The smooth, curved elytra are far better suited for fending off long-range attacks like arrows than the shape of a "bat wing"!
There are many similar cases. For example, the pair of claws that were used by the "flying insects" to attack Dio.
Although it is called a "claw", in fact, the forelimbs of this "flying insect" are closer to "hands", with four fingers separated and very distinct knuckles.
Such a structure makes the claws of this "flying insect" actually more suitable for grasping something, rather than directly scratching the enemy.
If you really want to scratch an enemy, a hook similar to the forelimbs of a praying mantis is obviously far more suitable than a claw with this structure!
In the same way, the other organs that appeared on this "flying insect" also gave Dio some uncoordinated feelings, as if these organs should not have grown on this "flying insect" in the first place.
It is precisely because of such suspicions that Dio, who has repeatedly inspected this "flying insect", frowned more and more tightly.
Although for various reasons, he has been immersed in training abilities and learning various combat skills in his past life, Dio is also a person who lives in modern society. After experiencing a complete test-taking education, he quickly came to a somewhat unpleasant inference after finding out these doubts.
At the same time that Dio came to a preliminary conclusion, "Cyberthras XXXVII" and others finally caught up.
Looking at Dior, who was squatting next to the corpse of the "flying insect", his face was very dignified, and the "Cyboras XXXVII" and others, who had relatively simple brain circuits, were a little puzzled.
"This flying insect...... Any questions? ”
While questioning Dio, Buck turned his suspicious gaze to "Cyber XXXVII". Apparently, he was suspecting that there was something wrong with the information that "Cyboras XXXVII" had told them.
The "Thirty-seventh of Cybers" that was suspected for no reason suddenly became angry, and it was immediately ready to pounce and bite Buck with its bared teeth.
Luckily, Dio, who came to his senses, stopped the conflict in time.
After letting Asterius hold Buck, Dio crouched in front of "Cyber XXXVII", pointed to the corpse of the "flying insect" and asked very seriously: "This kind of bug...... Was it like this from the beginning? ”
