Chapter 35: The Centipede (2)

Wei 10 convulsed and collapsed in the red poisonous mist, convulsed and was sent to the open and closed mouthparts by the centipede's jaw claws, convulsed and crushed into minced meat by the giant mouth, and then swallowed and disappeared little by little.

This is already the third ant to die in front of the protagonist, natural selection, there is no room for mercy seekers in this cruel world. At this time, the protagonist was unusually calm in his heart, and he was not frightened by the praying mantis like last time.

"This centipede must be defeated, or everyone will die here, and I won't be able to go back alive." The protagonist is very aware of his current situation.

"This centipede's attack power is not as good as that of a praying mantis, its movement speed is relatively slow, it can't fly, and its body is too long to effectively take care of attacks behind it." The protagonist calmly assesses the combat effectiveness of this centipede: "But it has a poisonous mist of range attacks, I only know that centipedes are poisonous when they sting people, but I didn't expect venom to be able to spray out." ”

At this time, the centipede had already sucked the remains of the soldier ants and tissue fluid left on the mouthparts in its mouth. It turned to look at Guardian 9, who was dragging his stump and crawling.

Wei 9 limped and couldn't even escape, and she didn't think about escaping bravely, she angrily stretched her big claws to the maximum, and she was not afraid of centipedes.

Mulan and Wei 4 also bit on the centipede's leg, which made the centipede feel a trace of pain, but could not effectively threaten and harm the centipede.

The protagonist can't stand it anymore, and he quickly rushes to the hole in the makeshift camp, using his mouth and forelimbs to dig through the soft floating soil, trying to pull out reinforcements. With the ants on the ground now, there is no hope of victory.

There was a desperate grinding sound from the direction of the centipede. The protagonist turns around and sees that Wei 9 has been caught in the mouth by a centipede, one of Wei 9's dangling hind legs is desperately rubbing the articulator on her body, and her big claw is still trying to bite one of the centipede's jaws.

In the next second, the centipede crushed Wei 9's fragile and petite body with two pairs of mouthparts and swallowed it into its stomach.

Ignoring the two annoying ants hanging from their legs, the centipede looks at the collapsed hole in the campsite and at the protagonist. Right there, there are many, many ants buried, and what a hearty meal it will be.

The food attracted its full attention, and the centipede swam its slender body towards the hole.

"Hurry, hurry!" The protagonist mustered up the courage not to collapse or crawl away, digging the floating earth as fast as he could, and he could already see that the floating soil was also undulating, and his underground companions were also trying to open the tunnel, and it was about to be successfully completed.

The centipede is approaching, not fast, but full of threat, and its dense steps are enough to alternate in a wonderful rhythm to form a wave-like visual effect.

Just as the centipede's tentacles were about to touch the protagonist, Zhuang 1's strong body was covered with dust, and it burst out of the ground with unrivaled momentum, and Zhuang 2, Zhuang 3 and Zhuang 4 also rushed out immediately.

They hold their protagonists behind them and wave their tentacles angrily at the attacking centipedes.

The centipede didn't flinch because there were a few more ants, and it quickly pressed in front of the strong soldiers. Zhuang 1 They were more experienced in the face of centipedes, dodged the centipede's frontal attack, and then quickly dispersed to both sides of the centipede, burrowed through the gap in the foot, and stung fiercely in the gap of the centipede's link-like carapace.

This time the centipede was obviously in pain, and hurriedly used the trick of death rolling again. Zhuang 2 was thrown off, but she quickly dodged the centipede's head, taking advantage of the centipede's slow turn, moved to the centipede's tail, and tore the tail spines on its tail.

At this time, the worker ants in the cave also hurried to clean up the tunnel, and all the soldier ants had crawled out, and they consciously and quickly entered the battle without command.

The secretary runs to the protagonist's side and asks if he is injured. The protagonist responds briefly, and continues to watch nervously at this vicious battle that will decide his life and death.

Once the number of ants increases, the combat effectiveness of the colony will increase exponentially, and now there are twenty-two soldier ants besieging a centipede, and the centipede's body is soon crawling with ants. At this time, the centipede's chitinous carapace covering its whole body could not cover it, and the gaps in the carapace, the joints of the feet, and the soft tentacles were all mercilessly stung by the ants.

The pain of the centipede's bite up and down was unbearable, and it rolled again with a death roll, this time lasting four or five turns, and rolling a full decimeter away from the hole.

Most of the ants were thrown off, and a few were still hanging on the centipede. The centipede didn't pay attention to the few on it, it turned its back to the hole in the makeshift camp, and the tip of its jaw claws rushed towards the five soldier ants in front of it, and a red poisonous mist erupted.

This time, the red mist was much thinner than the first time, but the ants shrouded in the poisonous mist still struggled and twitched in pain. The centipede took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement with a burst of smoke.

The protagonist sees that the centipede is about to run away, and Mulan and the other three soldier ants are still hanging on it. Hurriedly rubbing the pronunciation, the command to retreat was given. After seeing Mulan and the others jumping down, and not being chased by the centipede, they settled down.

The centipede escapes, and the protagonist finally breathes a sigh of relief. The secretary turned around and instructed the soldiers to shrink back. The battlefield was left in shambles. The protagonist checks it out, and Wei 9 and Wei 10 are killed in battle, and they can't even leave the corpses. The five soldier ants sprayed by the poisonous mist were already lying on the ground at this moment, their arthropods were still twitching and struggling, and they didn't know if they could survive.

The protagonist retreats back to the underground camp first, and the worker ants have almost cleared the tunnel, but the huge entrance has lost its defensive function. The protagonist has no choice but to order the worker ants to block the hole with dirt and rocks as much as possible.

Looking around the nest room, there was no damage to the place, and the luggage and food were all in order. There was a lot of dust on the silk bed, and the protagonist didn't care, so he went up, and was afraid for a while. If Zhuang 1 and they dug the tunnel in a few seconds at night, they would have been chewed and swallowed by centipedes.

The little secretary recruited all the soldier ants back to the underground nest, and the five soldier ants who were still struggling were also carried back and placed at the entrance of the nest. The protagonist doesn't know how to treat them at all, so he can only let them resign themselves to their fate and continue to struggle on the death line.

The protagonist had no intention of sleeping for the rest of the night, and ordered the soldiers to continue to rest, and he himself opened his eyes wide, stared at the entrance tightly, and stared all night.

Until the first rays of sunlight shine into the nest room through the shrunken hole of the next day.
