Chapter 65: The Battle of the Iron Beetle
After easily eliminating the sticky wall beetle, Yang Fan collected K energy and walked out of the cave to wait for Zhou Tian's response, but unexpectedly, an iron beetle suddenly emerged from another cave.
The iron beetle got its name because it has a thick layer of leather armor on its body and resembles a beetle.
This iron beetle is more than four meters long, and its entire body is like a layer of armor, and it is extremely defensive, with sharp and hard bone spurs on its back.
The body curls up like a giant cactus, rolling and flying rocks everywhere it passes, which is the most terrifying thing about this type of bug.
The iron beetle rushed out of the cave and began to roll wildly in the flat open ground, Yang Fan didn't dare to be careless, he drove the mecha and jumped directly onto a three-meter-high boulder.
Although the iron beetle is strong, its IQ is extremely low, its huge body was bounced back directly after hitting the mountain wall, its huge head dangling, and the thick tail behind it swayed non-stop, and there was a red light faintly flashing at the end of the tail, which stored the K energy necessary for life.
Yang Fan looked at the stupid and ugly iron beetle, he knew that this insect was much stronger than the mantis in terms of defense and attack power.
If one on one was not sure that he would take advantage, he hesitated for a moment and decided to single out the iron beetle.
If you want to test the combat effectiveness of the mecha, it can only be vividly displayed in actual combat, and in addition, the K energy contained in the tail of the iron beetle is more abundant than that of the mantis, and Yang Fan will never give up easily when encountering such an opportunity.
He observed and found that the iron beetle, although very strong, was more mentally retarded than he thought, and he quickly figured out how to deal with it.
Yang Fan jumped down from the boulder, the sound of the mecha landing alarmed the iron beetle, his limbs turned on the ground, his body quickly turned around, his eyes stared at the mecha, and he opened his mouth to let out a strange scream.
Seeing that its own deterrence was useless, it folded its limbs and curled up its body, turning into a huge "thorn ball" in the blink of an eye, and rushed directly towards the mecha.
Seeing the iron beetle attacking, the mecha jumped up directly with a whoosh, and the "thorn ball" rolled under his feet.
The mecha landed, and the heavy machine gun of the mecha aimed at the iron beetle was a strafing shot.
The bullet hit the iron beetle's thick mecha and sent out clouds of white smoke, and the powerful impact of the bullet made it retreat again and again.
After a round of shooting, Yang Fan found that even a heavy machine gun could not penetrate the leather armor of the iron beetle.
The iron beetle was completely enraged by Yang Fan, shrunk into a giant ball again and rolled over.
Yang Fan drove the mecha to jump around on the face, but the attack of the iron beetle became more and more sharp, and the mecha was accidentally scraped by the bone spurs of the iron beetle, drawing several cracks.
The outer armor of the KR1 mecha is also made of a very strong alloy, which shows that the physical attack of the iron beetle is also very strong.
After some temptation, Yang Fan knew the power of the iron beetle, and now he can't attack it, only outwitting.
He piloted the mech to jump onto the boulder and attack the iron beetle from above, and as soon as the bullet hit its tail, the K-energy fragments fell off.
The iron beetle screamed again and again, kept dodging its vital point, rolled into a "thorn ball" and rolled over.
Rumble......
There was an explosion, and the boulder was smashed to pieces by the iron beetle, and the rubble flew sideways.
Yang Fan and the Iron Beetle continued to wrestle, and with wave after wave of attacks, the Iron Beetle's physical strength was greatly consumed, its movements became more and more sluggish, and its attacks became less sharp.
Seeing that his attrition tactics had worked, Yang Fan began to take the initiative to attack the Iron Beetle, checking that there were only a few dozen rounds of ammunition left.
He focused his attack on the tail end of the iron beetle, and wherever the bullet went, the K energy fragments immediately fell off, seeing that the iron beetle was dying, but at this time, all the bullets of the heavy machine gun were also gone.
As soon as the shooting stopped, the iron beetle dragged its heavy body and slowly crawled towards the mecha where Yang Fan was.
"This damn bastard, your defense is so strong!" Yang Fan scolded angrily in the mecha.
He knew that the Iron Beetle was already at the end of his crossbow, so he opened the cover of the mecha and jumped down from it, holding the rifle in his hand and cautiously walking towards the Iron Beetle.
Yang Fan went around behind the iron beetle, aimed at the tail end and pulled the trigger to shoot, the iron armor let out a terrible scream, and suddenly his body shrank and rolled.
Yang Fan didn't expect the vitality of the iron beetle to be so tenacious, if it was crushed by this big man, he would instantly turn into a piece of meatloaf.
He casually escaped with a grenade and threw it over, and the destructive force of the grenade's explosion blew the iron beetle into a big heel, and it fell directly to the ground with its feet facing the sky.
Yang Fan no longer hesitated and quickly ran to the front of the iron beetle, and began to shoot wildly at its tail until the iron beetle stopped moving.
After a fierce battle, the iron beetle was finally killed.
The corpse of the iron beetle quickly stiffened, and the K energy around it quickly condensed to the tail.
Yang Fan took out the energy reservoir and put all the K energy into it, and the K energy contained in an iron beetle was actually more than all the sticky wall insects just now.
At that moment, there was a roar in the air, and a spaceship flew towards it.
Zhou Tian saw a giant insect lying on the ground in the air, and Yang Fan was next to him, and he flew directly down by spaceship.
Zhou Tian got down from the spaceship with a few loaded team members, he ran to Yang Fan, looked at the dead body of the iron beetle in front of him, and said in disbelief: "Boss, you did this?" ”
"Isn't it like? There doesn't seem to be anyone else here but me, but it's a pity you're a step late. Yang Fan said with a smile.
"Hehe, the boss deserves to be the boss, if I meet this big guy, I will definitely not be an opponent."
"I'm just suspicious that if there are bugs near the base, why don't you see them attacking?"
"Just because there's no bug attack doesn't mean we have nothing to do, and a new mission just came down from above."
Yang Fan didn't feel surprised when he heard this, now that the No. 1 base has basically resumed normal operation, and the command is also very satisfied with the performance of these three detachments, it doesn't mean that they have been idle.
Yang Fan returned to the base, he thought that this new mission would not be anything special, but it was unexpected.
According to the information from the command, it is very important that Base 2 has an independent platform for controlling reconnaissance satellites, which can be activated and then a comprehensive reconnaissance of the planet Hort can be carried out.
However, this platform is not located with the base, but is built on top of a hill.
According to the reconnaissance, there has been surrounded by bugs, a detachment broke through and almost wiped out, the superior ordered Group A to quickly rush to the No. 2 base to support, recapture the control platform, and complete the task of launching the satellite.
After Yang Fan received this mission, he knew that a new battle awaited him, and he had a premonition that the danger he would face in future missions would become more and more great, but he did not back down.
As a soldier who takes obedience to orders as his duty, Yang Fan led his team members to go straight to Base 2 on a spaceship.
