Chapter 871: Murderous Moth Beetle
This is also to facilitate their survival, the individual beetle is not too large, but the amount of food is not small, so if the group is too large, there will be contradictions because of survival, which also causes them to unconsciously split automatically after exceeding a certain number.
An ordinary two-meter-long, two-to-three-meter-tall borer beetle is enough to eat forty or fifty creatures twice the size of its body if it is released to eat, and if it is a group of ninety borer beetles, how many creatures the size of their group are needed to feed.
Nearly 100 times their population can fully meet their feeding needs, which is the fundamental reason why their population is not too large.
However, fortunately, their colonies are generally not too large, and their fecundity is not particularly strong, so there is no situation where this kind of borer beetle is a disaster.
In addition, this moth beetle likes to be quiet and does not like to move, and most of them will be in a dormant state similar to hibernation for a few months or even longer after eating.
This not only reduces the consumption of their needs, but also avoids the situation of them being abusive to a certain extent.
But although the beetle likes to be quiet and does not like to move, this moth is not as clumsy as it seems.
The hard, thick, black-red luster of the armor gives it an extraordinary ability to resist, even if Wu Zhijiang shoots with all his might, he may not be able to leave traces on it.
And the same murderous claws and hoe-like forelimbs make it have an unusually strong fighting ability in terms of attack power, which also shows that after ingesting so much food, he still has to stand still, and it is estimated that a large amount of food ingested has been transformed into a hard armor captain and attack power.
Awakened by a landmine explosion. Immediately after that, the moth beetle attacked by the raccoon dog almost roared out of the swamp, and in an instant more than a dozen beetles appeared around the swamp. Angrily looked at the three members of the femme fatale.
To tell the truth, in this swamp that is about to sink. I don't know how these moth beetles survive, so they quickly rushed over when they stepped on the mud of the water.
Moth, this is a beetle, a snake clan looked at the dozen or so beetles that emerged from the swamp around them, and shouted in some surprise.
Moths, really beetles, how could it be, this place is not the first time I have passed by, I have never seen a moth here. And I haven't heard of a beetle here, and the other snake clan is also full of surprise.
It was the human mines and something underground that disturbed these beetles, the snake clan said with a change of heart.
He sensed the energy fluctuations in the ground, but Wang Pengfei didn't sense it before, because the raccoon dog didn't use the energy, and completely relied on nature to fall into the swamp.
But now it is different, the energy released by the attack of the raccoon dog can still make the snake and scorpion fighter who is focused on it clearly feel, and let them know the reason for the appearance of the moth beetle.
An insect-like attack weapon. Just underground, it was their attack that disturbed the moths and awakened them from their swamp slumber.
When did humans have such a small attack weapon, which looked like something the size of a mosquito. The attack power is not weak, and if there are enough of them, even we estimate that they will also be affected.
Don't think about it. Hurry up and get out, there are more and more beetles. It's troublesome to leave for a while, and the snake clan fighter said loudly. In a flash, he sprang forward.
The other two also had a sudden change in their faces, and under his prompting, they also started their speed and rushed forward, which was much faster than that of a hovercar.
But at this time, it seemed to be a little late, the first beetle to appear, seeing the three snakes and scorpions turned into a shadow, wanted to leave quickly, a beetle close to the snake clan who was the first to leave, quickly crawled two steps from the swamp to the passage, and then the hoe-like forelimbs waved, slashing towards the snake clan.
The sound of the howling wind came out, with a formidable force, as if the entire space was about to be split in half, and slashed towards the snake clan.
The strong momentum made the snake clan galloping forward, and his face couldn't help but change dramatically, and his body that rushed forward in an instant was in the air, and his strange feet moved forward a little, as if a stepping stone suddenly appeared there, and his body shot backwards and back.
With a loud bang, the silt splashed everywhere, and the beetle slashed on the swamp passage in the empty place with a hoe, splashing up the thin mud of the surrounding water, and flew out in all directions, and a huge pit more than two feet wide and more than one meter deep appeared at the position where it was cut, and after twenty or thirty seconds of straight road, it was filled with muddy water, and the pit disappeared.
At the same time, the other two femme scorpions, who also wanted to leave, were also attacked by the beetle next to them in mid-air, and they were blocked from the way forward and retreated.
The beetle, taller than the snake and scorpion, let out an angry roar, passed through the night sky, and then brandished two hoes and pressed at the trio, not letting them go as they retreated.
Immediately after the beetle that floated first, the other beetles that were attacked also surfaced out of the swamp one after another, surrounding the three of them.
In an instant, that is, during the short time when they fought with each other, there were as many as thirty or forty beetles around them.
Thirty-eight, looking at the swamp that had completely surfaced, and there was no movement around the swamp, had already appeared above, and the beetles that were surrounding them, the scorpion exclaimed.
It is estimated that this is all the beetle swarm, but thirty-eight is not a lot, you see what to do now, whether we break through and continue to catch up, or retreat and abandon those two people.
Retreat, now retreat there, this group of moths has been awakened, completely enraged, out of the kill, is there any other choice, looking at the beetles that are surrounded on all sides, the snake clan said helplessly.
That is, now there is no choice, it is the same to retreat and move forward, only to kill with all your might, this human being is hateful, how can you not let them go, of course, forward, continue to catch up, the scorpion clan fighting bully is also unwilling to say evil.
I also agree with moving forward, we have been chasing those two for so long, it is too cheap to give up now, and it is a pity that Jingye Yueshi gave up, anyway, it is the same before and after, we will break forward and continue to pursue, we must get Jingye Yueshi back and kill him before we are willing.
Well, since you've all decided to continue the pursuit, let's break forward, and we'll go before the moth beetles are fully up.
After saying that, the snake clan took the lead again and rushed to the position blocked by the two moth beetles in front of him.
Don't fall in love with the battle, mainly to break through, this moth beetle attack and defense are not weak, there is no need to waste time with it, otherwise they will all surround it and be in trouble, the snake clan also reminded at the same time.
The three of them made an arrow in an instant, and one of the snake clan's fighting tyrants rushed forward, and the other snake and scorpion followed closely behind, quickly rushing forward to kill.
The sound of the two sides clattering sounded continuously, making a sonorous and powerful exchange sound, and one was louder than the other, passing far away in the swamp of the night, and even the black frogs in the distance were alarmed and made a piercing frog chirp.
The snake clan led the way as the arrowhead, holding a mixed iron rod in his hand, which was so black that it was extremely solid, the iron rod was not long but more than three feet long, and under the wielding of the snake clan, it constantly exchanged blows with the hoe of the beetle, making a piercing roar.
At this time, the snake clan was also unwilling to meet, and the mixed iron rod in his hand was swung tightly by him, constantly attacking the moth beetle, in order to break away from it, so as to break out of the circle.
However, the snake clan's attack was solid and powerful, and the beetle beetle did not show weakness, and a pair of hoes were swung wide open and closed by it, while dealing with the snake clan's mixed iron rod, stirring it up, and swinging the hoe to attack the snake clan.
While the two sides were fighting, the surrounding beetles did not rest, but quickly surrounded them and assisted their companions to attack the three of them.
A melee unfolded in an instant, and the three femme fatales were not strong in their strength, and they usually ended the battle quickly against humans, and even jungle monsters, many of which were one-hit kills.
But today, I encountered a beetle that was not weak in defensive attack, but it fell into a stalemate, the mixed iron rod of the snake clan and the big pincer of the scorpion clan, as well as the steel fork of another snake clan, from time to time with the moth beetle swelling sonorous sound.
Even many times they effectively hit the body of the beetle, but the hard beetle, that is, leaving some small pits, at most, will beat the beetle to the pain, but there is no substantial damage. (To be continued......)
