Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Impalator
Five black thorns, hard and sharp, quietly drilled out of the ground without warning, each one meter apart, almost at the same time, the three at the front accurately stabbed the chassis of the tank under Moria's feet, not only made a huge impact sound, but also the dozens of tons of tanks, actually the front end of the spike top, although only a few centimeters from the ground, but this power is also quite exaggerated, even if the gold-level power-type professional lifts up with all his strength, at most it can only achieve this effect.
Fortunately, I don't know if it was prepared in the design in advance, or it was accidentally hit, the chassis of the tank was very strong, and it was pierced with exaggerated force by such sharp spikes, and the chassis was not pierced, although it left deep scars, but it effectively protected the internal facilities.
"Concentrate on me. Hearing the warning of the enemy attack, Shur had already issued an order before he even saw the attack, "Wei, disperse and retreat, and the vehicles remain in formation." ”
No one questioned this sudden order, originally according to everyone's experience, when encountering a surprise attack, the best way to deal with it is to rush forward, and retreating is the most inappropriate choice, because ambushers usually wait until the prey falls into the trap before attacking, and the intensity of the attack in the rear is often higher than in the front, which is to take advantage of the normal person's mind to retreat and dodge, and launch a deadly attack when the prey thinks it is safe. And if you rush forward, you can catch the ambusher off guard, and you can often tear open the ambusher's ambush circle.
But an order is an order, and since the identity of the commander is recognized, the order must be obeyed in wartime, and there is absolutely no doubt, even if you know that it is wrong, you must grit your teeth and go down the wrong path, unless this wrong order will inevitably threaten your own life. Therefore, after hearing Shuer's order, the five mercenaries on the top of the tank jumped directly out of the war machine traveling at a medium speed, and rushed back to the top of the truck occupied by Shul as fast as possible, and the truck and tank didn't even have time to turn, from advancing directly to backwards, even if the machine parts made a piercing scream, they had to evacuate the ambush point as soon as possible.
Shure knew that his orders were absolutely right, and the perceived hostility in his consciousness did not react, indicating that these bugs were not consciously ambushed, they purely relied on instinct to launch a piercing attack on any creature that approached, otherwise, if the ambush was controlled by the queen of the swarm, the endless malice would definitely stab him with a severe headache. It is precisely because of this that Shul dares to issue orders that are contrary to common sense.
However, the order was still a step too late, in fact, by the time the spikes pierced out of the ground, it was already too late.
Because there is not one, but dozens of spikes hiding in the ground, and the spikes that pierce the ground are not five, but hundreds, and the first five are just the vanguard.
With the first black thorn breaking through the ground as a signal, a dense forest of spikes suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and hundreds of spikes drilled out of the ground almost at the same time, turning the surrounding area of dozens of square meters into a hell of needles. The blackthorn does not stab more than once, but constantly repeats the action of retracting and stabbing out, once a second, and the frequency is amazing.
If it weren't for the timely retreat, at least half of the tanks and a heavy truck would have been stabbed into fishing nets, unlike now, to ensure that most of the vehicles were unharmed.
However, although several vehicles narrowly escaped after being left with a few obvious scratches on the chassis, the first tank belonging to Moria was not so lucky, it was the first vehicle to enter the range of the Black Thorn, and the first target of all piercing attacks, the chassis was finally pierced by the spikes in two or three seconds, after dozens of consecutive stabs, and finally was pierced by the spikes, and the long spikes pierced out of the hatch at the top, piercing the tank on top like a piece of meat on a wooden skewer. Immediately, a large number of spikes tore through the armor of the tank in turn, leaving it full of holes.
"Warning, warning, the energy capsule is penetrated, the control room is penetrated, the tank initiates the self-destruct program, and after ten seconds it explodes, please evacuate nearby allies as soon as possible, please evacuate allies as soon as possible. ”
The tank was like a bug nailed to a wooden plank, no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't escape the shackles of the spikes, and with the alarm raised by Wei, the energy inside the tank began to change drastically, no need to ask, this must be a precursor to self-detonation.
"Find cover, get down, and dodge the explosion. "Shure doesn't know how powerful the tank explosion will be, but he knows that the energy purity of crystal energy is quite high, once the energy is out of control and explodes, the power may not be inferior to the explosion of the 100,000 Ters with the highest capacity of Pavatiga, think about the legendary scene of the explosion of the 100,000 Terr spar, tsk, I hope the shell of the tank can withstand it, otherwise once even the shell is blown up, the large metal fragments that are blown away will become the most terrifying weapon.
"Warning, warning, ammunition bin penetrated, ammunition compartment penetrated, martyrdom ......"
"Boom", before Wei's warning could be finished, a pillar of fire had already risen into the sky, and a violent explosion resounded across the plain.
The main part of the tank is made of strong special metal, which can withstand the high pressure and impact of the explosion, but the turret and hatch cover above are not so strong, they are torn into pieces from the inside under strong pressure, and with the spewing flames and the diffuse shock wave, they shoot out at high speed in all directions, and it is very difficult for even the dynamic vision of high-level powerhouses to capture.
Fortunately, Shul had ordered a cover before, and the high-ranking mercenaries outside had already fallen down behind the heavy truck for the first time, otherwise it was difficult to say whether anyone would have been injured. The scattered metal fragments didn't hurt anyone, but kept crashing into the surrounding tanks and heavy trucks with a continuous clanging sound.
"Ah~~~", a scream came from the compartment of the first truck, the terrible scream had just ended, and the cry of pain had followed.
Looking at the sound, the size of the truck was huge, blocking most of the flying metal fragments, fortunately, the compartment wall was thick enough, but it was hit by those fragments, but two large pieces of shards still broke through the defense of the compartment wall and stuck to the metal wall.
"One car and two teams, one car and two teams. Pressing the communicator in his ear, Shul asked with a frown, "Explain the situation." ”
"Two pieces of metal pierced the exterior wall, and a worker's thigh was torn and part of his bones were exposed. ”
"Bear with the small injury, and I'll treat him later. Shuer cut off the communication directly, poking his head out at the risk of a secondary explosion, "Wei, let the tank fight back." ”
"You can't lock onto your target, you can't launch a counterattack. ”
"No need to lock, attack at will within the coverage area of the Black Thorn, and all vehicles slowly retreat to prevent the place from moving underground. ”
"Boom", the barrels of the five tanks spewed fire at the same time, the explosion roared, the dust flew, and in the blink of an eye there were several large pits on the ground, but there was no corpse of any bugs in the pits, obviously, either the explosion did not cause damage to the bugs, or they remained invisible until they died.
"Mia, Thorn. ”
"Daru, Kay. The strange incantation came from the mouth of the mountain elf, and Mia's fingers quickly formed a spell mark, and finally pointed to the ground. With a few bangs, more than a dozen rock-formed ground thorns drilled out of the surface, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, very close to each other, covering a large area.
"That's it. "Shure was naturally referring to a mechanical bug that was writhing on a thorn on the ground. These bugs are no stranger to everyone, strange insects that look like spiders but only have five legs, and they have been seen in the image of the swarm outside the burrowing spider's nest a few days ago, and Mia has brought back one that has been dissected by Miriday's own hands. At that time, everyone never thought that such an inconspicuous few insects seemed to have no attack ability at all, but once they burrowed into the soil, they would have such terrifying power.
"Come again, Mia. ”
"No, they're not concentrated, and it's too expensive to dig them out. Mia's speed of speech is also very fast, now is not the time to chat, the convoy has already been discovered by the swarm, don't even think about it, the next step must be a tide of swarms.
"Moria, you said ...... day"
"Yo-yo, I know. Lin Jing's upper body still maintains the posture of a beautiful woman, but the lower body has become a thick tree trunk, and the roots of the tree are deeply rooted in the soil, firmly fixing the body to the surface, "In the underground world, there is nothing to escape the entanglement of plant roots. ”
I can't see it from the outside, but everyone can make up the picture below, countless tree roots spread frantically forward, forming a siege of insects from all sides, and a group of insects dare not drill out of the ground but have nowhere to escape, they can only hug and tremble.
"Oops, it's not long enough, it's a little bit worse. ”
"Hey, you're kidding. "Shuer felt that he was an idiot, and he actually made up this guy's brain so seriously.
"yes, it's just kidding, yoyo, grab you, come out for me. ”
The next moment, countless tendrils came out of the ground and danced wildly into the air, and more than a dozen five-legged piercing insects were tied together by the roots, and the five legs struggled in vain.
"Yo-yo, do you want to eat it, how do you cook it?" Sometimes as soon as Moria's mouth opens, the atmosphere will change subtly, and no matter how serious the occasion, she can also disturb the atmosphere.
"You eat it, eat it raw. Shul rolled his eyes, too lazy to follow her, "Are you sure the ground is empty?"
"Well, sure. Moria nodded, and the roots suddenly tightened, tearing the insects into several pieces, and then retracted into the ground, and after a while, the four deer legs began to kick around again, "You lie, it's not delicious to eat raw at all, and I'm Luye, you actually let me eat meat." ”
"Wei, keep the formation moving at full speed, no longer need to be hidden, and send another tank to attract fire fifty meters in front of the convoy. Everybody get in the car, Mia, Moria, Miriday, and if there's a bug in your way, blast them out of the way, Saf, you...... Hmm, why did you take your glasses off?"
"It's okay, the glasses are a bit flowery. The swordswoman put her glasses back on with a shy expression, but she clearly didn't tell the truth.
"Forget it, weird. Shuer didn't have time to worry about the glasses, and said loudly, "Be ready for a frontal battle at any time, hold back for so many days, let's do a big job." ”
"Oh!!"
