Chapter 32: The Return of the Dragon Ball (Part 15)
The bullets were flying, and the bodyguards who couldn't get off were screaming, Shi Ling and I were firing back to back, but there were more and more killing vines, and seeing that it was difficult to escape, the killing vines on the left side of Shi Ling people were suddenly torn apart, and a behemoth rushed out!
I secretly complained, it was an old enemy...... That damn man-eating centipede has a habit of holding grudges, and has been following the Stone Ling people and us and the plants.
At the moment when Shi Ling threw out the killing vine, the long man-eating centipede violently tore open the killing vine and rushed out to grab Shi Lingren.
Under the murderous vine above the stone Ling people turned out to be a tunnel, the tunnel was about a meter high, spreading horizontally along the mountain cliff, blocked under the killing vine, and the stone Ling people didn't notice this tunnel at all. Killer vines and man-eating centipedes are here from this tunnel. The man-eating centipede tore open the killing vine from the tunnel and rushed out, and Shi Ling just smashed the killing vine in his hand. The man-eating centipede saw that the killing vine flying towards him actually made a rapid 'rustling' sound, and suddenly changed its direction and did not pounce on the Shi Ling man, but instead avoided the killing vine and lay on the killing vine. The man-eating centipede seemed to be very frightened when it was landed on the body by the murderous vine, and it kept making a rapid 'rustling' sound, and every arthropod on its body was eager to grab the plant.
The killing vine was dodged by the first half of the man-eating centipede, but this 'centipede' was too long, and the killing vine smashed right on the long body of the man-eating centipede. There are no taboos everywhere the man-eating centipede goes, fortunately, the killer vine refuses to be robbed of food, driving those mutated animals to pounce on the centipede, like an alien vs. predator, so that we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
Who will win?
A moment later, the previous mutant animal was torn apart by the centipede, and the killing vine fell on the body of the man-eating centipede and was also thrown away, this killing vine seemed to have dealt with the man-eating centipede many times, vigilantly avoiding these arthropodes that could tear it apart, and quickly crawled to the side and immediately grabbed the corpse of one of the fresh bodyguards on the ground, grabbed this corpse, and the killing vine immediately crawled to the brain of this corpse. After climbing to the corpse's brain, the killing vines from the roots of the gray plant pierced into the corpse's ears, nose, and mouth. At this moment, the walking dead let out a frightened 'rustle' sound, and the whole body shook violently, and the entwined body seemed to be immediately controlled.
There were more and more mutated animals like this, and the centipedes couldn't bear it, and then the mutant animal rushed out of the tunnel at the other end, and its whole body climbed onto the killing vine, exposing its body to the sun.
The man-eating centipede doesn't seem to be too afraid of the sun, exposing its entire body to the sun, as well as the killer vine that wraps around it. The terrifying and gigantic creature revealed its true form, more than twenty meters long, and its body was mottled with patches.
In the sunlight, the killer vine let out a terrible scream. Man-eating centipedes are not very afraid of sunlight, but the killer vine cannot, and when exposed to the sun, the killer vine begins to wither at a rate that is visible to ah. The man-eating centipede is entangled in this killer vine, and it is obvious that it also endures great pain, and its whole body twitches from time to time, but it can obviously suffer longer than the killer vine.
When the killing vine is destroyed by the sun, it will regain its vitality. The man-eating centipede apparently wanted to use this method to destroy the killing vine that was wrapped around its body. The situation seemed to be getting more and more favorable for the man-eating centipede, and it would soon get rid of the killing vine that was wrapped around its body, but at this time, instead of taking the opportunity to escape, the stone lings opened fire on the man-eating centipede.
"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! "Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, of course, the two tigers have to fight. And this guy is simply the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord in "Journey to the West", the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is also known as the multi-eyed monster, who lives in Huanghuaguan and harms the people. The multi-eyed monster has a thousand eyes, and only one eye is full of golden light, so that people cannot get close to each other, and cannot retreat backwards, as if they are shrouded in an invisible network of light. There is no way for Sun Wukong, who has great powers. Fortunately, thanks to the guidance of the old mother of Lishan, Sun Wukong drove the clouds to the Thousand Flowers Cave of Ziyun Mountain, invited the Bodhisattva Vilanpo, broke the golden light cover of the multi-eyed monster, and rescued Tang Seng, Bajie and Sha Seng. After the spell of Vilamba Bodhisattva, the multi-eyed monster appeared in its original form, which turned out to be a seven-foot-long centipede essence. But how about this guy who is more than seven feet?
The piercing sound of gunfire broke the silence of the huge clearing, and the two close-range and accurate bursts of the stone lingren hit directly at the front two carapace joints of the man-eating centipede. The second carapace joint was directly blasted, and some tiny tentacles splattered out along with the blasted head, but only three shallow holes were left in the first carapace joint, and the power of the assault rifle bullet was not brought into full play.
"Rustle!" Then there was the torso of the man-eating centipede, the behemoth howled in pain, and its huge body ripped off countless thick killing vines, and its entire body curled up. The killer vine was dying on it, but it still caused it great pain, and after the carapace was burst, the man-eating centipede immediately fell into a rage.
The man-eating centipede climbs rapidly on the killer vine, and its dense arthropods make it extremely easy to move, and its speed is even faster than on the ground. At this speed, it was impossible for Shi Ling to accurately explode the carapace on the man-eating centipede, and the Shi Ling man slid down rapidly, shooting at the man-eating centipede as he slid down.
The killing vine on the man-eating centipede could no longer hold on, it fell weakly from the body of the man-eating centipede, and soon disappeared from the sight of the stone ling. Without the influence of this killer vine, the man-eating centipede became more agile, and it rapidly descended from the cliff and quickly approached the stone man.
Shi Lingren shot a shuttle bullet in the air, and his hand was loosened and fell almost at a free falling speed. The Stone Ling Man fell at this speed, and the speed of the man-eating centipede was not so fast, and it chased after the Stone Ling Man, only to find that the Stone Ling Man was getting farther and farther away from it. Obviously, the man-eating centipede has a certain amount of intelligence, and when it found that it couldn't catch up with the stone man, it paused suddenly, and the two arthropods were staggered, tearing off the plant community that the stone man was holding.
"Bang!" The plant community held by the Shi Ling people broke violently, and the plant community and the Shi Ling people fell together. Shi Lingren instantly grabbed a plant community next to him and pulled it violently, and after relieving the speed of the fall, he fell quickly again. The distance between him and the man-eating centipede remained at a distance of ten to twenty meters.
Seeing that it was useless to tear off a plant community, the man-eating centipede stopped suddenly, its body lying across the cliff, and almost all its arthropods were forced to tear off a row of plant communities at the same time. Shi Ling emptied the magazine in the assault rifle, and at this time there was no extra hand to change the magazine, and he couldn't shoot to stop the man-eating centipede without bullets. Obviously, the man-eating centipede was completely enraged by the Stone Ling Man, even if it smashed the Stone Ling Man into a pulp of flesh so that this body could no longer use it.
"He's meowing!" Shi Ling Man burst out with a foul mouth, and a row of plant communities were all torn off by man-eating centipedes, and this row of plant communities could no longer be forced. The Stoneling Man becomes in free fall along with these plant communities. The man-eating centipede even slowed down at this point and stopped chasing the Stoneling, it wanted to watch the Stonelings fall into a pulp.
Shi Ling people are still thirty or forty meters from the ground at this time, and it is impossible for the height of a dozen stories to fall into flesh, but there is absolutely no problem with falling to death Shi Ling people. At the critical moment, Shi Ling people used both hands to frantically grab the plant community in the inner layer, and the plant community on the cliff was even more than half a person thick, far more than one layer. Shi Ling grabbed at the plant community with both hands, and finally grabbed one of the plant communities inside. With the help of this plant community, the speed of the stone ling's descent was immediately slowed down.
As soon as the speed of the stone Ling man slowed down, the man-eating centipede immediately discovered that this damn human could never die. This scene once again angered the mutant animal, and it was impossible for the thick plant community to be torn off in a short period of time, and the man-eating centipede obviously understood this, and it let out a 'rustle' sound in anger and chased after the hateful human again.
Thirty or forty meters away, Shi Lingren quickly fell, as soon as he landed, Shi Lingren immediately changed the magazine, raised the muzzle of the gun to shoot at the man-eating centipede, I also came over to help, raised the assault rifle and shot with Shi Lingren. The bodyguards with hands and feet ran to death, and only the Lingling Tiger, who had difficulty moving, had already thrown away his assault rifle when he was attacked, and at this time he was stunned to watch the man-eating centipede that was rapidly climbing down the cliff full of horror.
"Let's go, get inside!" Shi Ling and I retreated into the mountain flowers while shooting, and the carapace joints did not seem to be the key to the man-eating centipedes, even if the carapace joints were burst, in addition to affecting the movement of the man-eating centipedes to a certain extent, they could not cause serious damage to the man-eating centipedes.
Most of the flowers are small half-human-tall plants, and occasionally there are some one-person-tall saplings, and the rest are about seven or eight huge vine trees about twenty or thirty meters high. As soon as the three of us retreated, we retreated into the mountain flowers. At this time, the man-eating centipede also chased to the bottom of the cliff.
Every creature, every creature that has a strong need for surrounding resources, should have its own specific range of activities and predators. Obviously, this man-eating centipede should have a relatively fixed range of activity, and this mountain flower belongs to the place where the sun shines, and it is certainly not a place where man-eating centipedes often move.
Therefore, when the man-eating centipede climbed down from the cliff, the stone man stared at it closely, the cliff is an area where other animals and plants live, and this place does not belong to it, and the stone man thought that this mutant animal was likely to stop, and it might not dare to enter the range of the mountain flower. But the Shi Ling people immediately knew that he was wrong, the man-eating centipede didn't seem to have a sense of territory at all, and it followed the Shi Ling people and us into the mountain flowers.
The entry of this behemoth immediately alarmed the creatures in the mountain flowers, and one by one the 'flying squirrels' ran out from behind all kinds of glowing plants in panic and hid in all directions, these 'flying squirrels' did not have the consciousness of ants to bite the elephant to death, and did not dare to attack the man-eating centipede at all.
The territorial consciousness has failed, the rat sea tactics have not happened, and these 'flying squirrels' are completely brutal with those mutated animals. If the man-eating centipede breaks into the eight-legged lair, the damn eight-legged monster will tear the uninvited guest apart in a matter of minutes.
Shi Ling was wrong, and the three of them could only keep running into the mountain flowers. Unable to find the vital point of the man-eating centipede, it is impossible to destroy this mutant animal with two assault rifles.
"Although the mutant animal is a mutant creature, it is not a centipede, it is not phototaxis, why is it not afraid of sunlight? Even if the rare sunlight in the dark forest can't cause damage to mutant creatures, mutant creatures should be very disgusted with sunlight. It's so bright here, why does it keep chasing us? "Linglinghu doesn't have Shiling and my physical strength at all, his running speed is getting slower and slower, if it weren't for the mountain flower plants that limit the speed of the man-eating centipede to a certain extent, Linglinghu would have been caught up a long time ago. Seeing the man-eating centipede getting closer and closer, Linglinghu couldn't help but shout with fear in his heart.
Linglinghu's shout suddenly reminded Shi Lingren. Although the body of a man-eating centipede is a mutated animal, the body of a man-eating centipede is fundamentally evolved from a primitive centipede. But the problem is that this centipede simply grows larger, and it is impossible to form such a thing as a man-eating centipede.
So are the weaknesses the same? However, although the Hundred Eyes Demon Lord is a wild monster, his strength is definitely no worse than that of a monster in the sky! Good at poisoning, love to strip, the two wedges have a thousand eyes, a thousand eyes in one move, and the golden light is beautiful, and the sun is helpless! It's just that one thing drops one thing, a golden needle easily breaks the golden light, no matter how powerful the centipede is, it can't fight the chicken, and it's also the god chicken Pleiades star official and his mother - the old hen of Bilan...... Where to find it now?
Therefore, Shi Ling immediately thought that maybe this man-eating centipede was not the body of this mutated animal at all, and the body of this mutant animal was still hiding in this carapace. The fact that it was afraid of the entanglement of the killer vine was proof that the man-eating centipede was so big that it should not have had that much of an effect on it in the first place. This only shows that the man-eating centipede is not afraid of being entangled, but of what is in the killing vine. "Mountain Peeling" peeling: There is a disadvantage and a future. The sixth day of the first month: stripping the bed with feet, contempt for the murderer. Sixty-two: Strip the bed to distinguish, contempt for the murderer. Sixty-three: Peel it off, no blame. Sixty-four: Peel the bed to the skin, fierce. Six-five: Guanyu, with the palace people's pet, no disadvantage. Shangjiu: The fruits are not eaten, the gentleman gets the public opinion, and the villain strips the house. Is this what the hexagram means? ”
"In arthropods, internal growth can be transformed into external growth by taking off the old tights and growing a new garment underneath the old garment, which is soft and bendable at the beginning and can take on a slightly new and wide pattern, but it quickly becomes the old garment and hardens. In other words, their growth stage is marked by a certain peeling cycle, with crustaceans shedding more often and insects shedding much less skin. The larval stage may have only a few stages of shedding. The pupal stage is its transitional form, when the wings, which were not functioning at the larval stage, develop inherently towards a functional state. This development is not completed until near the final stage of the pupal stage, and this time the peeling leaves it fully adult. When you become an adult, you never shed your skin again. This is the sexual stage of insects, and in most cases, although they still have the ability to eat food, some insects stop developing their mouths and digestive tracts, so they are called adults, and adults can only mate, lay eggs, and then die.
For example, the nervous system is involved in the process of taking off the old clothes and growing new ones. While we have tipping point evidence that some kind of memory is maintained during the transition from larval to adult, the range of this memory cannot be very wide. The physiological conditions of memory, and thus of learning, appear to be an organizational continuum, i.e., the transformation of changes from external impressions by sensory impressions into more enduring changes in structure or function. The metamorphosis of insects is so radical that much of the enduring record of these changes can be preserved. It is indeed difficult to imagine that after such a serious process of internal transformation, we would be able to maintain a memory with any degree of precision. For example, the centipede has almost no vision, it perceives the environment by its antennae, and prefers a moist and narrow environment, and this mutant animal cannot not be afraid of the sun, its body hides in the carapace, and the sun does not shine, so it cannot affect it. We've got to find a way to get it out of this carapace! "The stone Ling man ran ahead and shot at the man-eating centipede, the mutant animal was like a huge long snake in the mountain flower, and the plants that separated from it quickly caught up.
"We don't have a weapon, how do we get it out of it. Hurry up and find a way, if you run like this, you will be caught up by it sooner or later! Ling Linghu shouted anxiously, he had been thrown away by me, if it wasn't for Shi Lingren deliberately slowing down, he wouldn't have known how far he would have run away from me. Linglinghu was thrown away by me and the Shiling people for some distance, but the man-eating centipede was getting closer and closer to him. The mutant creature snaked on the ground and sped forward, a little faster than a normal person.
Linglinghu was still shouting when he saw Shi Lingren suddenly accelerate, and disappeared into the plants in front of him in a few clicks, Linglinghu's eyes were red, if it wasn't for the fact that he still had a little sense, he began to scold. I limped faster than Linglinghu, but I didn't worry when I saw the Shiling people disappear, and I still turned around from time to time to shoot at the man-eating centipedes.
Occasionally, with a bit of luck, a bullet will hit its arthropod, and the speed of the man-eating centipede will drop instantly, and although it can quickly adjust, Linglinghu and I can still take the opportunity to distance ourselves a little.
Shi Ling ran into the dense vegetation in front of him, and his speed was completely lifted up far beyond Lingling Tiger and me, and he ran hundreds of meters more than us in a matter of seconds. Shi Ling ran out of 100 meters, and suddenly saw a mangrove tree about 30 meters high appear in front of him. This mangrove tree is different from the vine tree that the Shiling people saw before entering the dragon vein and after entering the dragon vein.
There are many 'fruits' on this tree, each of which is about the size of a basketball, and the 'fruits' are so crystal clear that they look like pendants under a crystal lamp. If this thing was usually of great interest to the Shi Ling people, but now the Shi Ling people don't have time to take a closer look at this. Seeing this mangrove tree, Shi Ling ran directly towards the tree.
The mangrove tree was covered with arthropod vines, which looked very long, and if the tree was thirty meters tall, the vines that wrapped around him would not be less than twenty meters long. At least it doesn't look aggressive...... The free-spirited Shiling man tore the vine from top to bottom, and quickly tied the tip of the vine to a main branch in the upper part of the tree.
"Di Ze Lin" Pro: Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen. As for August, there is a murderer. The ninth day of the first month: Xianlin, Zhenji. Ninety-two: Xianlin, auspicious and unfavorable. Sixty-three: Willing to come, no profit. There is no blame for it. Sixty-Four: Come, no blame. Sixty-five: Knowing the Coming, the Maharaja's Suitability, Ji. Upper six: Dunlin, Ji is not to blame. "The muttering Shi Ling Man wants to make a simple trap, now the time is too short, if the Shi Ling Man is given enough time, he can cooperate with the bodyguard who is proficient in traps, and even make a trap that can directly hit the cannibal centipede. But now that the others are gone, Shi Ling people don't have time, and he won't do such a trap. He will only do the simplest and can delay the trap of the man-eating centipede.
Tie the vine to the upper part of the mangrove tree, and the stone man pulls violently. The force of the magnetic field made the mangrove tree have to bend down slightly, and the Shi Ling people quickly tied a big knot at the end of the vine, which could probably allow a normal person to easily get into it. After finishing these two Shi Ling, the man immediately stopped, because he didn't have a place to fix this knot, and the power of the mangrove tree was too great, and ordinary branches and even small trees couldn't bear the pulling power. Making traps was still learned by Shi Ling and Sister Xiao Mo before entering the dragon vein, and it was very smooth when watching others do it, but it was not the same thing at all when they did it themselves.
"Damn!" Shi Lingren cursed fiercely, wanting to give up but unwilling. We can't just run all the time, run out of this clearing and into the darkness, be intercepted and killed, and we must die in the end. Just when Shi Ling people were entangled for a short time, I suddenly rushed over from not far away, and Shi Ling people were overjoyed when they saw me. "Run this way!"
I knew what he wanted to do as soon as I looked at the things around Shi Lingren, and immediately ran in his direction. Shi Ling half-squatted on the ground, holding the vine knot in his hand, and the half-human-tall plant completely covered it. I nodded slightly at Shi Lingren, bypassed the rattan knot and ran straight over to continue running.
A few seconds later, Linglinghu appeared from behind, he didn't see Shi Lingren, but he saw my back, and immediately chased after me. It's a very rudimentary trap, if the man-eating centipede has a slightly higher IQ, if it doesn't care so much about its prey and focuses most of its attention on its prey, Shi Ling is sure that this thing will not be fooled, but now he may not be able to spot the trap.
Linglinghu rushed towards the Shi Ling people, and he didn't even notice the Shi Ling people when he ran past them at a fast speed, let alone the trap next to the mangrove tree. Ling Linghu gritted his teeth and ran over quickly with a hideous face, if he didn't want to save a little more strength to escape, he would definitely scold now.
As soon as Linglinghu ran over, the sound of 'rustling' sounded. The man-eating centipede separates the plant and almost silently 'swims' over, moving like a snake in a small meandering pattern.
Shi Ling was afraid of arousing the alarm of the man-eating centipede, so he did not dare to go out to look, and could only judge the distance of this mutated animal by sound. The smell of decay soon appeared, the sound of 'rustling' became louder and louder, and the Shi Ling people stared at the plants in front of them, and the plants in front of them were violently separated, and at this moment the Shi Ling people pounced.
The instant appearance of the Shi Ling man made the mutant animal hesitate for a short time, and after only a moment of hesitation, the mutant animal raised its upper body violently, but its action was not completely completed. The speed of the Shi Ling Man is too fast, and the speed at which it rushes forward is also very fast, plus the second carapace joint at the front end of its body has been blown out by the Shi Ling Man, and it is not so flexible. The combination of these factors caused the man-eating centipede to raise its first two carapace joints before the stone man rushed in front of him.
The stone lingman took advantage of the situation to slam the knot of the vine on the body of the man-eating centipede, and the knot of the vine did not stop until it passed through the three carapace joints on its body. As soon as Shi Ling let go, the man-eating centipede was violently pulled up by a huge force.
As soon as Shi Ling let go, the thirty-meter-tall mangrove tree instantly straightened, and a powerful force surged along the vines, pulling the man-eating centipede up in an instant. In a hurry, the upper body of the man-eating centipede stood up violently, and the two arthropods of the lower half of the body grabbed the stone lingman who was about to dodge like lightning, and the other arthropods frantically grabbed anything it could. Flowers, plants, small trees, want to control the body.
At this moment, Shi Ling hoped that the lower half of the body of the man-eating centipede could grasp something strong and powerful to control the body, and once this happened, the strong force on the mangrove side would most likely be able to pull the man-eating centipede in half. It's a pity that none of this happened, the man-eating centipede did not grasp something strong enough and was pulled up directly.
The Stone Man was lifted off the ground by the Man-Eating Centipede, and then he and the Man-Eating Centipede's body slammed into the trunk of the tree, and at this moment the Stone Lady felt like his bones were about to be shattered. The man-eating centipede swayed like a swing, branches snapped, and the crystal clear fruit of the mangrove tree began to glow, and then burst open violently, emitting a piercing light.
This thing is like the plant flashbang and plant mine in "Plants vs. Zombies", of course, the prototype is a plant called Marbos in the tropical forests of South America, this plant bears more fruits, and it is very large, one weighs about 5 kilograms. Don't look at it just lying on the ground, if a person accidentally steps on this "landmine", it will immediately make a loud "boom", and at the same time, it will also emit a powerful irritating gas, which makes people sneeze constantly, tears are everywhere, and the eyes are also painful like pins and needles. That's why people call it a "plant mine." Now the man-eating centipede made a high-pitched 'rustle' sound, and it seemed to be terrified, but in fact the stone lings found that the light did not actually do it any real harm. The man-eating centipede was distracted by these flashbangs, and Shi Ling took the opportunity to get rid of the damn mutated animal, but as soon as he moved, the man-eating centipede's arthropes instantly gripped it.
Obviously, this thing has a very deep hatred for the Shi Ling people, and the man-eating centipede grabbed the two limbs of the Shi Ling people violently, and the powerful force came down the Shi Ling people's thighs, and this thing actually wanted to tear off the Shi Ling people's legs directly. Shi Lingren instantly tensed his legs and held the assault rifle sideways in front of him.
The cold barrel of the gun pulled the trigger hard at the carapace joint that grabbed Shi Lingren, and the cold barrel quickly became hot, and the spitting tongue of fire burst the carapace joint like a rotten watermelon, and Shi Ling man clearly saw that there was something in the carapace joint that was a little thicker than the arthropod.
This is the thing, Shi Ling people against this thing instantly emptied the bullet in the assault rifle, and then stabbed into the brain of the mutant animal. The exoskeleton of this carapace joint was shattered by the Shi Ling people, and the Shi Ling people's hands were inserted into the mutant animal and immediately became entangled in some small flesh tendons, but the Shi Ling people still touched a hard thing.
Something hard, like a bone was wrapped in some soft-touch flesh with slender tendons growing on it. Both insects and humans are air-breathing biological forms, and both are representative of the transition over a long period of time from the convenient living conditions of aquatic animals to the extremely demanding products of terrestrial limitations. This transition from the water to the land boundary, wherever it takes place, entails a radical transformation of the respiratory system, the circulatory system, the mechanical scaffolding of the organism, the sensory organs, and so on. The mechanical enhancement of the body of terrestrial animals follows several unrelated paths. In the case of most molluscs, as in some other groups of organisms, a lifeless, calcium-containing tissue called a carapace is secreted from a part of the outer skin.
This thing is constantly being added from the early stages of the animal until the end of its life. If the carapace is protective of the animal, and the animal grows quite large in later stages, then the carapace must be a very considerable burden and can only be used for snail-like slow-moving, quiet-living terrestrial animals. In other shelled animals, the lighter the shell, the less burden, but at the same time, the weaker the defense. The structure of the shell has a heavy mechanical load, and it is only a small achievement among terrestrial animals. And now in the tendons of this carapace joint, most of the connective tissue and tendons have been broken, which allows Shi Ling people to directly grasp the hard things inside. The Shi Ling Man grabbed this thing and was about to pull it out with all his might, when at this moment, the man-eating centipede suddenly resisted extremely fiercely.
Several arthropods grabbed the body of the Shi Ling man, and these arthropods no longer wanted to tear the Shi Ling man, they grabbed the Shi Ling man and ripped the Shi Ling man off the body, and slammed the Shi Ling man into the trunk of the tree. Before he could react, the stone man was grabbed by the man-eating centipede and hit the trunk again and again.
In an instant, Shi Lingren was hit and his head was dizzy, and the bones in his whole body made a 'creaking' sound, and he was already dying if he didn't have the power of the magnetic field. The man-eating centipede was hung on a mangrove tree, and the stone man was caught by the man-eating centipede and smashed into the trunk of the tree again and again, if it were an ordinary person, the bones of the whole body would have been shattered.
After being hit by the continuous ferocious impact, Shi Ling Man could no longer grasp the thing in the carapace joint joint, and instantly let go of his hand, Shi Ling Man grabbed one of the arthropes of the man-eating centipede, and broke this arthrope with a 'click'. The man then bent over and kicked the man-eating centipede on one of its carapace joints before hitting the trunk the next time.
Shi Ling people clearly heard the sound of the carapace exoskeleton shattering, and with the reaction force of this kick, Shi Ling people forcibly broke free from the arthropes of the man-eating centipede, and broke away from the body of the mutant animal, and the sturdy combat clothes on Shi Ling's body were torn apart.
"Shi Lingren, this way!" I suddenly got out of the plant in front of me, and took an assault rifle to shoot at the man-eating centipede, and Linglinghu didn't know where to run at this time, and Shiling didn't have time to care about him. Quickly swapped out the magazine, and stood underneath the man-eating centipede and shot wildly at the mutated animal.
Assault rifle bullets sent man-eating centipedes to the ground, and many bullets could inflict penetrating wounds on man-eating centipedes, but these were useless, insects and crustaceans and all arthropods were built in completely different ways. The outside of the body of arthropods is surrounded by a layer of chitin, which is secreted by epidermal cells. Chitin is a dense substance that is very close to celluloid. At the junction of the animal's body, the chitin layer is thin and soft, but in the rest of the body, it is a hard exoskeleton, which we can see in both prawns and cockroaches. Endoskeletons, such as humans, are capable of growing with the growth of all tissues. This is not the case with exoskeletons, unless they are grown by addition, as is the case with snails.
The outer bones are dead tissues and have no inner ability to grow. Its function is to provide strong protection to the body and also for the attachment of muscles, but it is equivalent to a straitjacket.
And now Shi Ling and I can barely hurt the body of the man-eating centipede, and the bullet hitting those carapace joints is almost completely unable to hurt the body of the man-eating centipede. Destroying only those carapace joints won't kill the man-eating centipedes.
Shi Ling and I set fire to the man-eating centipede, and although it was almost impossible to damage the cannibal centipede too badly, occasionally bullets could penetrate the mutant animal and touch what was hiding inside. The man-eating centipede suddenly began to struggle violently after being set on fire, the thirty-meter-tall mangrove tree began to shake violently, and the 'fruits' that burst out with strong light also caused great trouble to Shi Ling and me, under this sudden strong light, Shi Ling and I could hardly aim accurately, and more and more bullets were sent flying. The improvised trap made by the Shi Ling people soon began to lose control of the mutated animal.
"Shi Lingren, let's go, the trap is almost out of control. There's something up front, maybe there's a way to deal with it! I emptied a shuttle of bullets and shouted at Shi Ling as I changed the magazine.
"Let's go!" Shi Ling nodded and I quickly disappeared into the bushes behind them, and the sound of vines breaking was quickly heard behind them. The upper body of the man-eating centipede stood up, and several arthropes grabbed the vine and forcibly tore off the very tough vine with the thickness of the arthrope.
The man-eating centipede fell to the ground, and the first half of its life quickly circled the ground, and then the mutant animal waved its arthropods and quickly chased after Shi Ling and I disappeared.
Shi Ling and I ran in front, and without the burden of Linglinghu, the two of them were faster, and soon there was an obvious abnormality in a mountain flower. Suddenly, a pitch-black place appeared among the lush mountain flowers in front of him, and there was only one pitch-black tree that looked like it had been carbonized. Everything around this tree was burned. It's like a sudden attack by a wildfire, and the traces left by the wildfire burned away.
An oval-shaped void appeared around the black, carbonized dead trees, and the clearing was littered with traces of burning, and all that was left was scattered dry bones. Some of the bones looked like they were left by humans, some looked like they were left by animals, and there were even some that were noticeably small and looked like those left by 'flying squirrels'.
The Spirit Tiger was in the range of the oval, standing cautiously.
"What's that?" The charred black earth was out of place with its surroundings, and Ling Linghu stood there with a nervous expression, obviously there was something wrong there. Shi Lingren stopped instantly, stood outside the range of the black scorched earth, looked at Ling Linghu in surprise and asked.
"I don't know where it is, but I'm afraid there's something wrong with that tree, and your corpses are almost all piled up around that tree!" I pointed to the corpses and raced. I discovered this place before Linglinghu, but I later turned back to help Shilingren, but Linglinghu ran in in a panic.
"Get me out there, there's something down here. If something moves inside, it will be burned by that thing. Find a way to save me! Ling Linghu stood there in horror and didn't dare to move, and the cold sweat on his face continued to pour out of his pores like raindrops.
When the Spirit Tiger first ran into here, he didn't notice the anomaly here, until a 'flying squirrel' who was also startled by a man-eating centipede also ran in, and that 'flying squirrel' ran far faster than the Spirit Spirit Tiger, and it also attracted the attention of things under the ground even more. Something under the ground appeared like lightning, and in an instant it caught the 'flying squirrel', and in less than half a minute, the 'flying squirrel' was burned to the bone.
Ling Linghu was immediately stunned and stood there unable to react, but his reaction seemed to save himself. He didn't seem to be able to 'see' anything under the ground without moving, and it never appeared again until now. Linglinghu stood still and didn't dare to move, just waiting there until Shi Ling and I reappeared.
Something under the ground? Shi Lingren's face was serious: "Don't move, this feels like the hexagram "Earth Fire Mingyi", Mingyi: Li Jianzhen." The ninth day of the first month: Ming Yi flies and hangs its wings. The gentleman is in the line, he does not eat for three days, there is a future, and the master has words. Sixty-two: Ming Yi, raze in the left strand, with the horse to save the strong, auspicious. Ninety-three: Ming Yi is in the south of the hunt, get its big head, and you can't be chaste. Sixty-four: Enter the left abdomen, get the heart of Mingyi, and come out of the court. Sixty-five: Mingyi, Lizhen. Upper six: Unknown, first ascended to the sky, and then entered the earth. ”
Before Shi Ling and I could deduce the hexagram clearly, there was a rapid 'rustling' sound from the bushes behind him. Shi Ling and I glanced at each other, and immediately had a plan.
