Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Broken Waves and the Cracked Warriors
The 9 fish, born a year after the disaster, are completely unimaginable to the taste of kelp and fresh sea bamboo leaves, and its memory is always associated with hunger and death. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 🔥 Full? What does that feel like? 9 fish don't know.
It had not found food for nearly half a month, curled up behind a rock hungry, even its heartbeat was faintly almost stagnant, if it were not for the half of the dead branch swept by the torrent, it might have become one of the countless corpses of the Chinese team in this age of death, that time it gnawed on the dead branch like crazy, although its mouth and esophagus were scarred by wooden thorns, but it survived.
It had also seen hungry herbivores gnaw at the carcasses of other animals, vomit and vomit until their stomachs were stuffed with meat, and then die in a daze.
Should I say lucky? So many big guys are dead, only it's still alive. Of course, 9 fish will not admit that they are lucky.
It slowly swam out of the crevice where it was hiding, the storm had just passed, the beach was in shambles, and the broken coral was leaning diagonally against the rocks, but there was no need to worry about the polyps on it, they had starved to death, and now it was nothing more than their corpses. In the past three years, typhoons and tornadoes have been raging in the flawed stars, and this kind of scene has been seen a lot.
Hiding in the crevices of the stone is not the habit of creatures like 9 fish, they originally found a random place where aquatic plants are lush and slept, but when the aquatic plants in cover have died, 9 fish have nowhere to hide, and more importantly, they are unknowingly killed by the storm in their sleep/hunted by predators After cutting off the mouths of countless fish of 9 fish in two years, 9 fish have learned the skill of "hidden sleep" without a teacher.
Hawkers, it's okay if you don't know how to sleep with cats and the fish have been slaughtered, anyway.
9 The fish did not rush to pounce, and it also witnessed several times that those of the same species who were not cautious enough to be hunted by predators who were also hungry, and it was not impossible to eat plant animals as animals, but there was a lot of fiber, and it was easy to have diarrhea, and it still tasted grassy, but some of them were good to eat this year, and they were picky about a fart.
The predators are now on the brink of famine, and they have survived by eating the carcasses of herbivorous creatures and the carcasses of other predators. As for where did the carcasses of other predators come from...... Didn't you give your claws just to turn them into corpses?
But this is a palliative treatment rather than a cure, and the bottom producers can't support much upper life after a large number of losses, and the reason why these guys can still survive is nothing more than relying on the accumulation left over from the previous prosperous era of the Defective Star Biosphere, to put it bluntly, it is to eat the old book.
But there is always a time when the old Ben is finished, like a bunch of generator sets to power the machines, once the generator set is cut in half, the machine must stop working halfway. Maybe they have some leftover power from the previous generator in their batteries, but when that power runs out, the ones that need to be shut down will have to be stopped unless you can conjure up a new one.
And the old book of the flawed star, for those predators...... It's almost gnawed away......
9 Finally sure that there was no danger, the fish swam quickly into the rocky beach, scraping the withered moss with its upper and lower jaws like a file, leaving not even a trace of residue, and at the same time, its frog-like eyes moved flexibly, vigilantly observing its surroundings.
And then it died.
The white light flashed, and the body of the 9 fish was blown up, and the minced meat exploded in the water, and its big eyes did not bring the slightest help to it at this time.
No matter how clever and cautious it is, it is just a miscellaneous creature, and once it is targeted by predators, it will be its end. 9The fish's half-broken head fell to the ground, and its large, godless eyes were still fixed on the small piece of dry moss, as if they had not yet understood what had happened.
The force that killed the 9 fish was so great that not only did it smash it into minced meat, but the shockwave also left a shallow pit in the rock. And in the direction in which the pit was struck, the predator was finally discovered.
A large rock wriggled twice, and from above stood a strange carapace creature, its carapace rough to the point of irregularity, and when it lay on the rock in this dusty carapace, even the alert 9 fish did not see it.
High Lord Broken Waves, the smallest High Lord of the Blemishes, is not even as big as some elite creatures. The one who burst the 9 fish just now is the arthropod of the broken wave. Its arthropod resembles a frog's hunting tongue, with a muscle bundle attached to it, and when it attacks, the arthropod catapults out, but its front end is not a frog's slime-covered tongue, but a hemispherical hammer made entirely of carapace, and this hard hammer has the power to shatter the braincase of a lord-level creature in an instant under the impetus of steam.
Now, do you know the mantis shrimp? It is the second fastest animal in the world to attack the bigtooth ant, under its body, there is a pair of "hammers" that can attack at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, when it attacks its prey, it can eject the hammer in 100,000 seconds, and we must use a high-speed camera of 100 frames per second to see its attack action. The impact of the ejection can reach up to 60 kilograms, and the high temperature generated by the friction can even cause electric sparks to erupt from the surrounding water, relying on this power, the mantis shrimp can easily shatter the thick glass.
And the speed of breaking waves is even faster! It's also bigger than the mantis shrimp! It's perfectly enough to demonstrate what it means to literally "blow you up" in front of other creatures!
The only consolation is that the broken wave only has two attack arthropods, and after each arthropod is hit, it takes a period of time to recover and repressurize, although this time is not very long, but it basically has no chance to fight, so it leaves a way for other predators to live. Otherwise, this kind of guy who can second people at will will no longer have a skill cooldown, and the flawed star players will have to collectively complain to GM.
Broken Wave doesn't have the tough muscles that frogs can eject and recover, so it has a different approach. In Broken Wave's body, two small winches rotate under the propulsion of muscles, and the muscle bundles are rolled back by the winch to recover the hammer head of the arthropod.
It took a long time to clean its joints with the prickly hairs on its mouthparts, and then walked slowly. Compared to other creatures struggling on the edge of life and death, Broken Wave's life has not even been particularly impacted, small size, clever concealment, powerful attack power, all the conditions to survive this mass extinction It seems to have all the conditions, and Broken Wave is qualified to look down on other creatures.
If there's anything you're not satisfied with, it's probably that its attack power is too great, and the animals that explode are always scattered all over the place, so it's a bit troublesome to pick up. The broken wave picked up a piece of flesh that had been blown out and gnawed it down little by little.
It doesn't taste very good, forget it, just eat it. In the past few years, God has convulsions, and the electricity has been pinched all at once, and it is dark at all times, and even those foods have become chicken thieves one by one, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find, just this herbivorous animal, or the human head it squatted in the grass for three days to collect...... I mean food.
Although the barren brain of Broken Waves has sensed the drastic changes in the world, it has no way to think deeply, and only finds it much more difficult to obtain food.
Just as it was about to pick up the next piece of minced meat, a strange shock forced it to stop in its tracks—it was the enemy! Shattered Wave instantly judged it, and it raised its triangular head, staring coldly at the two approaching enemies with two pairs of large compound eyes that flashed with the Ghost Light Dao.
Or the most annoying, the enemy who comes to grab food.
The two armored heralds, moreover, are the size of a normal lord, several times larger than the broken wave.
The size of the Armored Herald has changed a lot, its stature has become taller, its arthropods have also become slender, and it is obviously moving more rapidly on the seabed, and the famous nail arthropods of this series of species have completely changed into a zigzag form, although the armor-piercing ability is not as good as before, but the lethality of less armored and unarmored life is far greater than before, obviously, this is a change made by the armored pioneers in order to adapt to the post-Cambrian era.
But the focus of Broken Wave was not here, it saw that on the waist of the armored pioneer, several pairs of gill flaps were closed one by one, and it couldn't help but take a few steps back, and only after calming down did it realize that its current behavior seemed to be showing weakness, and took two steps forward.
The regression was purely instinctive and subconscious, but there is no doubt that it illustrates the deep fear of Broken Waves' precursors for the armor.
The berserker of the sea, the battle maniac, can open the genetic lock...... If there were words, probably there would be life called that the Armored Pioneer. All of this stems from the way the armored pioneers now fight.
Under normal circumstances, the armored precursor exerts the combat power of the normal lord level, but once it is found that it cannot be defeated, those pairs of gill lobes will take the initiative to absorb a large amount of water, and the power of the water flow will press the gas in the armored precursor air bag into the blood circulation, and the destructive power exerted by the armored precursor who is instantly pressurized far exceeds that of the low-level lord!
This is not only the power of pressurization, the icy water can stimulate the armor pioneer glands, and a large amount of stimulant-like hormones are released, at this time, the armor pioneer is like a drug, the power is infinite, even if the half-pulled body is cut off, it can fight bravely to death!
Even those huge high-ranking lords will choose to stay away from the edge at this time. The time for stimulants and hydro pressurization was short, this was to protect one's body from permanent damage, and after this time, whether the armor pioneer was round or square depended on the mood of those high lords.
Maybe it shouldn't be called the Armor Pioneer, that's the name of its ancestors, in the ancient creature database of the Defective Star Civilization, its scientific name is called "Rift Gang Samurai", not a worm, nor anything, but a "samurai"!
It's hard to do...... Broken Wave is a little anxious, if it is one, it can easily kill in seconds, and there will not even be a chance to make them crazy, two of it is not sure, losing the strength of its arthropods, the other combat power of Broken Wave is at most a top elite, and even a half lord can't beat it, what if it is not killed? This creature is so mad that it didn't kill the kneeling man, wouldn't it have killed it?
Or...... Give them half of it?
After weighing the pros and cons, Broken Wave was ready to take two steps back, its size was not large, half of the corpse was enough for it to last for three or four days, food could be found at any time, and if it lost its life, it would not be able to find it back.
"Bang!" The sudden sound of thought caused both sides of the confrontation to turn their heads at the same time, and in the rising smoke and dust, a figure staggered to its feet.
The slender claws tore through the smoke, and the thin body was covered with light armor, and under the two-petal breastplate, several air sacs of different sizes were relaxing and tightening. It didn't seem to be in a good state, blood slowly oozing out of its body, and one leg had turned in an abnormal arc, apparently one of its legs had been broken during the not-so-smooth landing.
The bomb maniac shook his head, and suddenly saw the two sides staring at him, and then he glanced at himself in hindsight, and then looked at the corpses of the 9 fish scattered all over the ground, and the atmosphere was ...... All of a sudden, it became weird.
