Chapter 170: Fierce Battle in the Fortress (16)

The protagonist has just come to the gap along the second wall and is about to look at the parasitic dung beetles below.

Unexpectedly, this war beast happened to be destroying this section of the city wall under the protagonist's feet with a shovel on its forelimbs, and the city wall collapsed in an instant. Before the protagonist can react, he feels his feet loosen and his body rolls down with the wall that has burst into pieces.

The area where the city wall collapsed was not large, and in addition to the protagonist, there were also two soldiers of the Divine Envoy King's legion who also rolled down.

A soldier ant fell on the belly and back of the parasitic dung beetle, and was quickly wrapped and entangled by countless parasitic bacteria, and after a short struggle, it lost its breath.

The second ant was stunned by a falling concrete block, and his life and death were unknown. But it's also a good thing, at least she doesn't have to face the crisis that the protagonist needs to face immediately.

The protagonist rolls along the crumbling walls until he finally falls to the ground. Although the second wall is not high, only half a decimeter, the protagonist is still dizzy after falling down, and he can't figure out what happened.

When he came to his senses, he suddenly felt something, and when he turned his head, he saw a huge and ugly mouth with a foul smell not far away stretching out towards him.

This is the official parasitic dung beetle, and when the protagonist rolls down, it notices the ant that has fallen not far from itself. When it looked closely, it suddenly realized that this was the culprit who had thrown itself off the fortress before.

Although this parasitic dung beetle has been defeated by the protagonist once, it is not injured, so it has not fully comprehended the protagonist's power. At this moment, when the enemy saw each other, his eyes were red, and the war beast took advantage of the protagonist's back to him, and slammed forward, and a pair of large jaws like a whip in his mouth bit the protagonist.

The protagonist feels something, and when he turns around at this time, he sees a pair of jaws as thick as a giant pillar clipped towards him.

These pair of jaws have a knotted structure, twisting flexibly like a nine-section whip, able to grip and push food into the mouth like fingers, and countless soldiers of the Divine Angel King's legion have died tragically under this pair of whip-like jaws.

The protagonist reacts very quickly and hurriedly retreats, which can dodge this pair of whips. The parasitic dung beetle does not give up, and jerks forward, squeezing its bloated belly into the gap in the wall, and a large shovel-shaped forefoot slams at the top of the protagonist's head.

The protagonist jumps onto a protrusion in mid-air at the gap in the wall above the side, dodging the slap of the parasitic dung beetle. With one miss, the beast lost track of its protagonist for a moment, not seeing the protagonist not far above his head.

After losing its target, the parasitic dung beetle saw that there were no other ants surrounding it for the time being, so it prepared to continue digging the soil. As a result, it moved slightly, only to find itself stuck.

It turned out that the war beast saw the protagonist just now and was eager to attack him, so it slammed its hind legs forward and pushed forward, only to put its bloated belly between the sections of the city wall on both sides of the gap.

Unable to move after being stuck, the parasitic dung beetle swayed from side to side anxiously, waving its arthropods wildly, and for a time the gap in the city wall was filled with smoke and dust, and countless debris flew everywhere.

If it was a normal time, under the hard work of this parasitic dung beetle, it would not be long before it could get out of trouble. But now it's on the battlefield, and there's a killer eyeing it.

Seeing that the war beast was stuck and couldn't move, the protagonist naturally wouldn't let go of this great opportunity. Ignoring the flying gravel and dust, he spotted his target and jumped again.

The protagonist landed steadily on the flat head of the parasitic dung beetle struggling with himself. This is the most sensitive organ of the war beast, and it immediately senses the movement on its head, and a great sense of danger immediately makes the parasitic dung beetle swing its head frantically, trying to throw off the protagonist above.

The protagonist grasps the parasitic dung beetle's protruding horns and holds them firmly to its head as if they were glued.

Not only that, but the protagonist also took the time to grab one of the parasitic dung beetle's shaking tentacles, and with a fierce force, he uprooted this tentacle.

The battered beast grew its mouth and wailed silently, and it jerked back, actually getting out of the embarrassing situation of being stuck.

However, it was not for nothing that it forcibly exited the gap in the wall, and cracks appeared in the hard black carapace on both sides of its abdomen, and pale green tissue fluid was flowing from the cracks, apparently from internal injuries.

The parasitic dung beetle retreated into the dense army of parasitic ants behind it, and countless parasitic ant warriors were gathering behind it, waiting to launch a general attack through the gap in the wall.

However, now the wounded and frantic beast no longer obeyed the command, and it rushed left and right in the dense formation of parasitic ant warriors, and kept crashing into the ground, trying to shake the damn ant off its head.

Now the parasitic ants fell into bad luck, and countless parasitic ants were knocked down by the sharp horns of the war beast, swept away by the arthropods, and trampled by the big feet.

This scene will feel familiar to military enthusiasts. The status and role of the parasitic dung beetle in the parasitic ant army is similar to that of war elephants in the human army. War elephants, on the other hand, can easily go berserk like this when they are badly wounded or their riders die.

Crazy war elephants often cause casualties on both sides of the battle without discrimination, causing huge losses to both sides. Therefore, experienced Roman legionnaires would try to cut off the noses of the war elephants, deliberately causing them to go berserk and confuse the enemy lines using them. Lightly armed skirmishers armed with javelins are often used to drive war elephants backwards, as javelin strikes can also cause them to go berserk.

It is precisely because of this serious weakness of the war elephants themselves that they often play the opposite role at critical moments in many battles, and on the contrary, they bring great losses to their own side.

This parasitic dung beetle, which frantically ran along the first city wall, brought great losses to the parasitic ant army.

Before he was about to rush into the position of the Divine Envoy King's army, the protagonist grabbed the other tentacle of the parasitic dung beetle in front of him and pulled it abruptly, forcing the dung beetle to crash headfirst into the wall next to it.

The impact was so ferocious that the corners of the beast's head were broken, and a large hole was broken in the second wall, revealing the concrete inside the wall, which narrowly did not collapse.

This parasitic dung beetle, which first suffered the pain of broken horns, and then hit the wall headlong, actually staggered and crawled for a few steps, and finally couldn't support it, and slowly lay down, blood mixed with internal organ fragments gushing out of the big mouth crazily, and it seemed that it was no longer possible.

Finally, the last war beast is solved, but before he can breathe, the protagonist finds that countless parasitic ants have surged behind him.

These parasitic ants quickly climb up the dung beetle's body, jump over its towering and broad dorsal carapace, and pounce on the protagonist in the head position.

At this moment, the protagonist who had just experienced a big battle was no longer able to unleash the power of the "Heavenly Gods", and the friendly forces were still far away and could not support at all.

Looking at it for a second, the overwhelming army of parasitic ants is about to engulf the protagonist.
