Chapter 353: Terrifying Thunder Beast
Just as Qiao Lu and the others were covering the survivors and continuing to the evacuation point, there was a sudden rumbling sound on the ground, and a huge giant beast came out of the ground, towering in front of Qiao Lu and his party like a mountain.
It was a terrifying creature with a heavy chitin carapace and two monomolecular bone-like scythes, the Thunderbeast.
The Thunderbeast is probably the most formidable unit of the Swarm Ground Force, and its size is so large that even a siege tank can reach knee height, in other words, it will be squashed by a single kick.
In addition to being wrapped in a heavy chitin carapace, it also has two pairs of beetle-like bone-like pincers on its body, like a huge living siege vehicle, which is probably the ultimate weapon specially designed to break through the human defenses.
As soon as the thunderbeast burst out of the ground, it immediately raised its thick limbs and rushed towards the survivors with impunity.
With each step it took, the ground trembled like an earthquake, and the survivors' footsteps suddenly stopped, and no one dared to take the initiative to meet the charge of this monster.
The machine gunners opened fire on the terrible beast, but the all-indestructible depleted uranium armor-piercing shells hit the carapace of the big guy, and the metal crashed into the carapace, and the bullets were bounced in all directions, except for a few sparks!
The siege tank also immediately turned its muzzle to fire at it, and the cannonball fell straight on the huge head of the thunder beast, and suddenly exploded a huge fireball, as if blowing off half of the thunder beast's head.
However, when the smoke cleared, the thunderbeast's skull was only blown open by a small gap, causing its footsteps to pause slightly, and then it took another step and continued to rush towards the group.
"We should have brought the Hulk." Captain America muttered to himself, "This thing is definitely suitable for his opponent." ”
"Stop complaining, Captain."
Hawkeye tried to shoot an arrow at the Thunderbeast, but a normal armor-piercing arrow couldn't penetrate the impregnable carapace.
The chitinous shell of the thunderbeast is a multiple structure formed by alien compounds and organic tissues, and its strength is not at all comparable to the carapace of ordinary zerg creatures, and there are unusually strong bone plates under the carapace as a sandwich, even if there is a gap in the skull that is blasted out by the siege tank, it still cannot be penetrated by the bullets of the machine gunners.
Quicksilver quickly slipped under the Thunderbeast's body, attempting to reach its limbs in order to make the Thunderbeast lose its balance and collapse.
The dragon blade in Quicksilver's hand can indeed cut through the armor of the thunder beast to a certain extent, but compared to the huge size of the thunder beast, the wound that the dragon blade can leave is too small.
Although Quicksilver had already tried his best to chop the limbs of the thunder beast, in front of the other party's limbs, which were ten times thicker than the elephant, the sharp dragon blade was only like a knife cutting through a tree, and just being able to cut off the surface of the insect shell could not hurt the bones and nerves inside at all.
"That's too hard, isn't it?"
Quicksilver slashed at the same part several times in a row, but only cut off a piece of carapace, slightly scratching the tissues and organs inside, and it couldn't hurt the muscles and bones at all.
Instead, the Thunder Beast seized the opportunity to raise its forelimbs high and stomped on him, casting enough shadows to cover Quicksilver's entire body.
Hearing the loud sound of the earth shaking the mountains, the giant feet of the thunder beast stepped into a deep pit in the ground, crushing everything like a hydraulic press!
Luckily, Quicksilver ran out of the thunderbeast's feet at the last moment, otherwise he would have turned into meat sauce at this step.
"Be careful, this guy is different from the monster before!" Quicksilver rushed back and said, "I don't know if there's anything that can stop it!" ”
The thunder beasts that were galloping up were indeed unstoppable, and even the Star Spirit's isolation force field couldn't stop the charge of these monsters at all.
Now the best way is to disperse the crowd immediately, so as not to be cut down by the giant claws of the thunder beast like cutting leeks at once, and those two pairs of fierce monomolecular giant pincers can undoubtedly cut a dozen people in half at a time.
However, most of the survivors gathered now are civilians with no combat effectiveness, and there is more than one enemy like the Thunder Beast around, so letting them disperse is undoubtedly equivalent to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, and will soon become food for agile jumping worms.
At this time, the thunder beast had already accelerated its pace again and sprinted towards the crowd, and the siege tank seized the time to reload and fire another shot, but the result was only to collapse a sharp corner on the thunder beast's body, and it was completely unable to stop the thunder beast's charge.
With a crisp whistle, Qiao Lu's whistle arrow also shot at the irresistible beast.
The sharp whistle arrow successfully pierced the thunderbeast's chitin carapace and bone plates, burrowing into its interior in one fell swoop, destroying several vital organs.
However, Qiao Lu soon found out through scanning that there were still a large number of redundant organs in the body of the thunder beast, all of which were copies of the important organs that had just been destroyed by the sentry arrow, and these extra organs grew randomly in various parts of the thunder beast's body, just like humans had two kidneys, which could replace the role of the main organs at any time, which also caused the damage caused by the sentry arrow just now to be insignificant.
"Is there such a biological structure?"
Qiao Lu originally thought that if he could penetrate the solid shell of the thunder beast, he would have a way to kill it quickly, but he didn't expect that the Zerg would actually prepare this hand, just to prevent humans from finding the so-called weakness and quickly killing the thunder beast.
Even if the brain of the thunder beast is destroyed, there is still a secondary brain that can maintain its operation, for this behemoth, the weakness that can kill with one blow is completely non-existent, and only absolute fire suppression can completely eliminate it!
At this time, it was too late to destroy all these extra organs with sentry arrows, and the huge body of the thunder beast had already rushed in front of the survivors, unleashing two pairs of terrifying monomolecular giant blades, and clamping down on the survivors who had been scared to the point of weakness!
Just as the two pairs of giant pincers were about to cut off the group of survivors, a girl in red stepped forward from the crowd, it was Wanda the Scarlet Witch who had hesitated to accept Qiao Lu's proposal to retreat.
At this moment, she finally made up her mind, struggled to open her arms, and blocked everyone with her weak body!
"I am, Avenger!"
The crimson energy instantly enveloped the thunder beast's giant blade, as if it had frozen it, and it could no longer be as close as the survivors.
The dazzling red light converged on Wanda's palm, and with further control of her own power, she reached the Thunderbeast's charge head-on, even though the Thunderbeast struggled desperately to plow four furrows on the ground with its feet, it still couldn't break free from Wanda's restraints, and couldn't even retract its open giant pincers.
At this moment, Wanda truly transformed into Scarlet Witch, a member of the Avengers.
