Later generations of scientists have discussed and dissected the corpses of the dead dragon insects, and determined that the most important genes of this thing come from the rock centipede, the iron beetle, the blade mother worm, and finally the gravel dragon at the top of the food chain of the new jade gate.

Then the problem comes, the insect dragon has appeared. Where is the gravel dragon that was used as a genetic blueprint? Was it eaten by the insects? This is not in line with the pragmatic and non-wasteful, energy-efficient style that the swarm has always had. If it is just to eat to replenish energy and protein, some animals are other animals, but the body of a strong "phantom beast" is not always there.

Now, here it is!

…… Although it itself should not have wanted to.

Yu Lian guessed that the thing should have been drilled into the air early, so high that everyone couldn't notice it with the naked eye, and then directly swooped down on a free-ground trajectory. It was obviously a behemoth with a body of more than ten meters long, with huge wings spread, but it could swoop down and suppress the sound even lower than that of mosquitoes.

In a sense, those dragon insects and jumping insects and dinosaurs on the ground are just cover. It's the real killer feature.

Naturally, the appearance of this monster is still very powerful. Elegantly speaking, it is like a dragon without a neck—the kind of Western illusion; To put it harshly, it's like a big bat with an extra tail. In the lingua franca, everyone calls this thing "gravel dragon", because it can not only fly, fly without a trace, but also hide in the gravel, without eating or drinking, and ambush for days until it meets a satisfactory prey. Before the human colonists came here, they were proper planetary overlords, and there were no natural predators. Even large-scale sand-dwelling settlements dare to attack.

As for what happens when the human colonists come...... Well, large towns and military stations naturally dare not attack, but ordinary travelers, farms and mines with fewer people will also dare to attack.

The average farmer and miner has a lot of headaches when they see this thing, on the one hand, this monster is really strong, even if a small army of well-equipped people encounters it, it will not be able to ask for any benefit. On the one hand, this monster is now on the list of "Rare Phantom Beasts in the Universe" released by the Environmental Office under the Galactic Civilization Council. If someone bites your cattle or sheep or even bites you to death, you can flap your wings and go; But if you kill it, you're breaking the law.

In addition, it is said to be called "dragon", but it is only because humans are very accustomed to putting the word "dragon" on all large, predatory, and reptile things, but its bloodline has nothing to do with those mythical and legendary creatures.

In addition, although it is not a mythical and legendary creature, since it occupies a "fantasy" word, it is naturally magical.

For example, this unscientific body type can actually fly.

For example, such a huge body soars in the air, and it doesn't even make a sound.

For example, since it is a "phantom beast", it actually has psionic abilities.

"Ina, ...... eyes" Yu Lian shouted towards the gun emplacement opposite, but before he could speak, the sergeant major was already firing. A large ball of cannon bullets rushed at the dragon's head!

Then, I saw a whirlpool of air unfold in front of the fellow, and in an instant all the bullets were caught in it, and in a burst of churning, they bounced straight back, knocking down several unlucky people on the city wall on the spot, causing a wail and scream.

Of course, when the cannonball is bounced back, the kinetic energy will naturally be greatly weakened, and the power will not be fatal, but it is a 20mm high-carbon steel column! Even if it just hits someone, it's deadly.

The Gravel Dragon does possess the ability to unleash an ability similar to a psionic stance to fend off or even bounce off most kinetic weapons.

It's also easy to kill it. First, with high-powered energy weapons. Second, with high-explosive weapons. Third, use very powerful kinetic weapons.

…… However, aren't we the miscellaneous fish of the guard corps of crickets? Isn't there none of the above?

Do you want to use the fourth? As soon as this thought flashed through Yu Lian's mind, the huge flying beast had already flown to a height of less than a few meters from the city wall, and then went straight to ...... He pounced straight towards himself.

How much hatred? This thought flashed through Yu Lian's mind, and then he jumped out of the turret while dragging the half-tube nanomachine and half-cut body in his stomach, but he still remembered to give the other party a psionic impact that he could only comprehend just now.

Sensitive people who don't open the star ring, even if they can occasionally use basic psionic combat skills, it is also a metaphysics that is not effective from time to time. But Yu Lian is different, he is an old fritter attached to the twenty-year-old little fresh meat.

Pia！ The gravel dragon probably didn't expect to hide this, and the figure slowed down slightly, but the action of culling did not weaken at all, and it still hit the turret directly with a "boom". The building structure of the steel machine collapsed in an instant like building blocks. Fortunately, before this, Yu Lian had already rolled away.

He picked up a gun from the ground, but found that there was still a broken arm hanging from the handle of the gun, and then looked at the original address of the turret that had completely collapsed and the steel bars were twisted into a ball, and sighed in his heart, but the movement of his hand did not hesitate for half a minute, and the bat wing behind the gravel dragon was a shuttle bullet.

The gravel dragon can't deploy its own position defense twenty-four hours a day, otherwise it would not be a "phantom beast" but a "divine beast"; However, the power of the C10's broken spear could not penetrate its back and wings at all, and only a small amount of sparks splashed on the heavy carapace.

However, the bats of the wings were shot several times, which also affected the flight trajectory of the gravel dragon. It subconsciously vibrated its wings a few times, causing its entire body to climb violently, passing directly in front of the turret where Ina was - if it hadn't climbed this time, it would have really been able to knock over headlong.

Miss Sergeant, who had escaped, did not seem to be frightened and continued to shoot. The cannonballs formed a powerful whip of fire, striking the dragon on the back, one of which pried open some of the scales on its back with great precision, bringing up a cloud of maroon plasma. It lost its balance for a moment, twisted its body, and slammed into the barbed wire at the edge of the wall in a slightly awkward motion, only to slip off the smooth iron-faced wall with a single thud. At first glance, its body structure is not suitable for crawling on the ground of stones, and it can't even get up for a while, which makes it look very embarrassing.

A few bold soldiers took a few steps closer, and there was a burst of fire with their rifles.

After all, the gravel dragon is a wild animal, and theoretically it should be part of the animal that seeks advantage and avoids harm. If it were in normal times, if you had been traumatized like this, you would have already pondered retreating. However, this ferocious behemoth not only did not escape, but did not even snort, but only raised its head indifferently, like a tough guy who still fought bravely to kill the enemy despite countless wounds on his body, which was so cool that it was a mess.

The approaching soldiers changed their guns and prepared to attack the head.

Yu Lian couldn't help but shout: "Disperse!" Disperse! You idiots! ”

What is it to stand in a ball? Eat hot pot? Is it warm? -stirring sticks?

The soldiers probably didn't hear it, and they didn't move a single step. However, before they could pull the trigger, the gravel dragon opened its mouth, and its razor-sharp teeth were like two gates, and when they opened, a ball of light with a particularly bright color roared out, and it crashed into the center of the crowd with a "boom", turning into a dazzling ball of light, and a radius of five meters seemed to be included in the blazing blast impact.

The three soldiers were completely devoured, and the corpses were no longer present. The two standing on the outermost part were lifted out a few meters away, and their bodies were a little deformed, even if they weren't dead, they must be crippled.

This is another psionic talent of the Gravel Dragon. It spits out a ball of light that explodes with concentrated energy, and even against lighter armored vehicles or even airships, it is sure to kill with one hit, and its power is completely comparable to that of small and medium-power phase fluctuation cannons. This ability was even more evident in the later insect dragon evolution, the air guard insect, and became one of the most powerful air-to-ground suppression classes of the insect swarm.

But the question is, if these soldiers weren't so amateurish, at least they wouldn't have suffered so many casualties, right?

Yu Lian sighed silently. He missed the Phalanx in his hometown so much, and if he and Ina were operating that thing, the super big bat wouldn't have been able to get down at all. Even if it is a gunpowder weapon, at this time it is more suitable for close defense than a railgun with an unsatisfactory rate of fire, and the power is not bad.

"Technologically advanced" doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to use, but it seems that many people just don't understand such a simple question.

He misses the soldiers of his hometown even more - their weapons are very "primitive", at least much more primitive than this starship-filled universe, but at least they don't stand alone when they fight. He has been nostalgic for the whole life of his previous life, and it is estimated that he will have to miss it for a long time in this life.

After the gravel dragon knocked away the little bugs that harassed him, he climbed up proudly, wanting to raise his head to give the soldiers on the wall above another time, but then realized that he seemed to have no neck, so he spread his wings, fluttered hard, brought a gust of wind, and then forcibly carried his huge body several meters off the ground.

It opened its bloody jaws again, aiming at the densest crowd on the city walls, and let out a silent roar. Once again, a blinding snow glow converged in its sharp fangs. But at this time, those soldiers were all stunned, neither knew how to fight back, but also completely forgot to scatter and dodge.

Naturally, the firepower has thinned out.

In the wilderness and sky in the distance, the remaining insects certainly won't let go of this opportunity and accelerate their charge.

Yu Lian gritted his teeth, held his breath and slowly pointed the muzzle of the gun at the gravel dragon's eyes, but as for whether it was useful or not, it was really unclear. The dragon's eyes are very brittle, but it also depends on what it looks like!

He pulled the trigger and fired a shuttle of bullets. But almost at the same moment, only hearing Duang's voice, the gravel dragon suddenly twitched, as if it was struck by an invisible lightning strike, and the energy cannonball in his mouth naturally couldn't spit it out. Its wings went limp, and it landed on the ground with a thud.

Yu Lian naturally didn't think that it would be the power of the broken gun in his hand, it was clearly a great achievement made by an armor plate smashed on the dragon's head. He turned his head to look, only to see that Sergeant Baca the bear man had rushed to the gates of the city at some point, let out a roar that was not much worse than that of a real Kodiak brown bear, and once again picked up a broken steel bar from the ground and threw it like a javelin.

"For the community!"

Lieutenant Mondssen, armed with a chainsaw sword, swept past Baca and, under the cover of the "Javelin", launched a thunderous charge. The setting sun formed a circle of light outside his cold mobile armor, and he was like those legendary heroic knights who charged at the ferocious dragons, which was already epic.

…… An epic in the age of cold weapons.
