Chapter Forty-Six: Re-entry into the Tiger's Den

From the rearview camera, it was three beetle-like creatures the size of a small car.

The bug's long strip-like head was flanked by two long, narrow, inverted V-shaped wing-shaped exoskeletons. The large winged armor on its back indicates that it may fly, but it cannot fly under these conditions. At this time, he was using six gray-black slender strips to support his body as large as a car, revealing his pale abdomen.

Just when Gou was curious about why this thing could make Meng Jie swear in shock. I saw that the insect called the artillery beast by Meng Jie bent its tail and faced forward, and I heard the sound of a whole liquid bursting. A stream of steamy, transparent liquid erupted from its tail and shot straight at the Groundwalker in the fan-shaped area in front of the bug.

The Earthwalkers, who had been jumping around a second ago, fell down screaming after being sprayed with this liquid. In a few moments, the splattered area of these poor creatures was quickly corroded away, revealing jet-black white bones. Under closer inspection, Gou Cao was shocked. This fluid doesn't even stop corroding after it hits the bone. Once the bones were splashed on the liquid spewed by the Shooter. It quickly disintegrates, leaving only a pile of granular calcium powder. It's pretty scary to look at.

"You know this thing? I haven't seen this creature in the training collection you gave me......" Seeing Meng Jie worriedly next to the seriously injured Wu Zhe, Gou Cao, who relaxed a little, tried to divert his attention.

"It's called a cannon beast, and it's just as rare as the throwers you've met before." Meng Jie hesitated. "We've only found this creature in a particular location before. That's why it's not listed on publicly available information. ”

"What about more detailed information?" Gou Cao listened to the fog, and only knew a name. It's no different from not saying anything.

"I don't know if you ask me......," Meng Jie scratched her head, "All I knew about this thing before was its name, appearance, and attack methods." You've seen all of that......"

"emm......" is full of black lines, and the guy who is bent on fighting is really unreliable in other aspects." Have you analyzed the composition and spraying mechanism of the liquid ejected by these big bugs? ”

"I heard Lao Wu say that the main ingredient is...... I forgot what it was called, anyway, it was a highly corrosive alkaline liquid" Meng Jie showed an embarrassed look. "The bug has two small sacs in its abdomen, which usually store two fluids separately and mix them when it needs to be sprayed. The resulting chemical reaction boils the liquid and creates a strong biobase that can cause enemies to be scalded and corroded. ”

"Is it aggressive towards humans? Is there a possibility that you will slip away without getting into trouble?"

"No, this thing will take everything that can move as a prey, and even if it is full, it will hunt ......"

“……”

Probably figured out what was going on...... But it doesn't seem to help the current situation......

While Gou Ke and Meng Jie were arguing, the Earthwalking Beasts also hit the three Artillery Beasts in waves, but the situation in the battle area developed one-sidedly.

The razor-sharp claws that could have left marks on armoured vehicles were almost useless against the gunmen's sturdy exoskeleton. One by one, the Groundworms pounced, often only making a useless attack for a second or two before being thrown down by the Gunslam.

The tail vent of the artillery beast is also quite flexible, and it can take care of all enemies close to the artillery beast at 360 degrees, whether it is the ground beast attacking on the back or belly, it will be quickly scalded to death by the liquid of the artillery beast and corroded.

A few of the Groundwalkers were smart enough to attack through the fragile joints and gaps in the exoskeleton, but the Shooter's melee ability and mobility were just as good, and as soon as the Shooter got close to the target, the Shooterbeast's huge tentacles swept away, and then became a ghost under the jaw.

At this point, the 12.7mm machine gun on the roof of the rover has been repaired. Of course, Gou Ke knew that if he wanted the fisherman to profit, he naturally had to intervene appropriately when the snipe and clam were fighting.

Sudden ...... The 12.7mm machine gun armor-piercing shells rained down on the artillery beast. Since they are certain to be hostile creatures, they must be completely eliminated while they are not looking, and no mercy can be left unfair.

…… However, it didn't work, as the bullet didn't penetrate the shell's exoskeleton at all.

At the same time, the Shooter Beast's almost crushing level strength scared off the remaining Earthwalkers. The tall earthwalker with several scars on his body screamed helplessly when he realized that no matter how much he roared and intimidated, he screamed helplessly and chose to retreat.

"All hands ready to fight." Seeing this situation, Gou Ke's heart suddenly sounded an alarm bell.

After a great fight, the Shooter Worms did not pursue the Groundwalker colony, which could easily catch up with them at their speed. Instead, the three of them surrounded the wanderers and stared straight at them.

Things went so fast that Gou Caodang's abacus was shattered.

With three bangs, three streams of liquid secreted by the Shooter Beast sprayed onto the rover's body, beginning to corrode the rover's outer armor. However, fortunately, there are still some nanobot repair materials, so they can be recovered quickly. But now there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and the convoy can't get out, and if you are trapped like this, you will always run out of repair materials.

"Bang, bang, bang" Three more grenades hit the artillery beast, one of which was blown back again and again, and some green liquid was spit out of its mouthparts, as if the city had been blown up with internal injuries, but its carapace did not even leave a mark.

In desperation, Gou Ke installed a special single-headed bullet on the electromagnetic cannon at the front of the car, and gave the cannon beast a shot.

With a bang, the shell of the cannon beast was left with a huge depression and a spiderweb-like crack.

There's a play!

However, before he could be happy, he soon found that he could no longer hit a second shot with a single bullet from his electromagnetic gun. After seeing the power of the rover's electromagnetic cannon on the front of the car, the shooter beast never stayed at the front of the car for more than half a second. In the face of their great mobility, the rover could not keep up with the speed at which the rover turned the head of the car to aim at the electromagnetic cannon.
