Chapter 52: The Race of the Brains

Two round head worms tumbled to the middle of the three rocky mountains, and Lin found that this was a large open space, surrounded by a large group of infantry, among them, there was also a special infantry, it looked very similar to ordinary infantry, but the belly was very large, Lin thought that it might be the queen, and they all seemed to pay attention to the competition between the head worms.

Mketu and the head worm looked at each other and lay in the center, and Mketu made a sound first:

"Competitive content: hunting, walking through the jungle, looking for prey, killing the target first, being the winner."

"Competition, acceptance."

The head worm made a sound of approval, and Lynn felt both of them become excited and excited, are they going to compete for the hunt? But how are the two of them going to hunt?

Following Mketu's voice, Lin saw ten of the infantry around them come out, divided into two halves, and each of the five walked up to the two head worms, and they lowered their heads and touched the body of the head worms with the tentacles on their heads.

Mketu continued: "Infantry, ten, Muktu, Maya, five each, hunting target: Blackhorn cockroach." ”

Lin suddenly understood, is that so? I see, they don't hunt themselves, but they are competing to see who can control the infantry to hunt successfully.

However, Muketu seems to be talking about hunting 'blackhorned cockroaches'? Can that thing really be beaten with five 'infantry' with a length of one meter?

The Blackhorn cockroach was the largest cockroach Lynn had ever seen, covered in a sturdy black carapace, and was huge, over five meters long. May weigh more than three tons. And the infantry is only a meter long. It is estimated that it is only a few tens of kilograms, Lin once asked the head worm about the situation of the infantry, they don't have a special attack of dissolving liquid or venom or anything, and the bladed forelimbs alone have no armor-piercing power, how to deal with the black horned cockroach?

"If you find the prey first, you can attack first, and you must not attack the prey that the opponent finds first, and if the infantry has death or loss. Refillable, up to three. Mketu suddenly let out a high-pitched voice and said, "The hunt begins!" ”

In the next moment, two groups of infantry rushed out from between the rocky mountains, and Lin immediately released two flyers and caught up with the two groups of infantry.

The two pairs of infantry were moving quickly in the jungle, and the head worm in the center of the rocky mountain had their eyes closed, and Lin found that they seemed to be able to manipulate the infantry from a very long distance, which was really interesting, and Lin was also a little looking forward to the results of the competition, which was an interesting subject to study.

But this competition is more advantageous in Mketu. Because it is familiar with the environment here, it knows where the blackhorn cockroach is. Lynn saw that her infantry was exploring the ground with their tentacles, presumably spotting the scent, while the team of the head worms was still running around the jungle.

There should be no prey clash because the two teams are running in opposite directions.

Mketu's infantry searched for scents as they crouched on the ground, and soon found a blackhorned cockroach behind a twisted tree in front of it.

The blackhorned cockroach is huge, and its head has a long and obtuse horn about a meter long, and the end is round, which is why it is called.

The blackhorned cockroach is slamming its horns into the twisted tree, it doesn't want to eat the bark, but relies on the strong impact force to shake down other things on the tree to eat, basically it eats everything, including other arthropods, reptiles, leaves, and the hard seeds of the twisted tree.

Instead of moving directly, Mketu's infantry climbed onto a nearby twisted tree, and then scattered to search everywhere, as if looking for something, while one of them climbed onto the trunk above the cockroach, as if to keep an eye on the cockroach, and at the same time it also clung to the trunk tightly to avoid being shaken by the cockroach. The trunks of all twisted trees are rolled together and can be climbed through the trunk of one tree to another.

The team of the head worm is still running around the forest, looking for a target, the head worm is supposed to be here for the first time, and it seems to have no idea where the black horned cockroach is.

On Mketu's side, the infantry scattered on the trunk of the tree soon gathered again, and Lin noticed that one of the infantry had something in its mouth, and the flyer got closer and found that it was a small beetle.

The beetle that Lin has also seen, is a beetle called a 'bug', although it is small, but it can release a strong irritating gas, which can even damage the olfactory cells of other creatures, so no creature will eat this thing.

Is it going to do anything with bugs? However, Lin thinks that the blackhorn cockroach should not eat it, and may not even look at it.

Mketu apparently knew this, so instead of smashing the cockroach with a bug, he had one of the infantry eat the bug directly, and then the other infantry caught a lot of bugs, and they ate all of them.

The smell secreted by the bugs not only damages the sense of smell, but also has a destructive effect on the cells in the esophagus, and after eating it, it is similar to eating a dissolved solution, and the infantry who has eaten a large number of bugs is obviously extremely injured, although it is not visible that there is any movement, but the breathing holes in its mouth and body have begun to seep blood, and the infantry has also become dying, lying weakly on the trunk of the tree.

I see, this is the tactic......

The other infantry then threw the infantryman, who had eaten a large number of bugs, from the tree, and the sound of it falling to the ground caught the attention of the cockroach.

Thinking that it had knocked the infantry down, the blackhorned cockroach walked up to the infantry and began to open its mouth to eat it, but it stopped only halfway through.

The blackhorn cockroach seemed to smell the stench of bugs, which was mixed with the smell of blood from the infantry and became relatively thin, but enough to arouse the cockroach's doubts.

Noting that this method might not work, Mketu sent several other infantry members down from the trunk of the tree and more than ten meters in front of the blackhorn cockroach, waving their forelimbs and making a high-pitched cry.

This is...... Are you provoking the blackhorn cockroach?

…… Wrong.

Seeing this, the blackhorn cockroach let out a low roar, but instead of leaving the place to chase them, it kept standing there and roaring.

Lin noticed that several of Mketu's infantry were staring at the dying infantry at the feet of the cockroach, which was a special message for the cockroach, and Mketu tried to convince the cockroach that the infantry were going to steal its food and that they would take the food if it chased after him.

In this way, the blackhorned cockroach will not chase it, but may not hesitate to eat the infantry who has eaten a lot of bugs.

Lin found this tactic very interesting, and perhaps the reason why the brain capacity of the brain worms was so large was that they were able to operate infantry from a long distance and think about these special tactics.

Compared to the near-success of Mketu, the head worm seems to have just started, and now, Lin finally saw that the head worm had also found a blackhorn cockroach, which was not hitting a tree, but lying on the ground in a deep sleep.

Lin was interested to see if the Head Worm would use any fun tactics, but Lin was surprised by the Brain Bug's actions, which actually caused the infantry to rush towards the Black Horn Cockroach!

Is the head worm going to fight hard?

The sleeping cockroach awoke, roared at the infantry, and rushed towards them.

The huge body makes the ground constantly vibrate when running, and the difference in combat power between the two sides of the charge is huge, is this hard-fought method really effective? Or is the head worm not intent on winning?

At the moment when the two sides were about to collide, the infantry of the head worm suddenly jumped to the side in an instant, and the black horned cockroach suddenly pounced, but it turned its head very quickly at this time, and bit the nearest infantry in one bite, chewing it into pieces in an instant.

Blackhorned cockroaches do not attack with their horns, their horns are round and blunt, they are only used to hit trees, and when facing other creatures, they prefer to tear their targets apart with their jaws made up of six sharp blades.

The remaining four infantry did not escape, but pounced on them together, crawling onto the back of the blackhorn cockroach.

The blackhorned cockroach roared, flailing in an attempt to shake them off.

Although the infantry couldn't do much damage to the Blackhorn Cockroach, they made the Blackhorn Cockroach very uncomfortable just lying on its back, and the infantry used their arthropods to grip the carapace gap on the Blackhorn Cockroach's back, they seemed to be holding on so tightly that the Blackhorn Cockroach couldn't shake them off, but the Blackhorn Cockroach had a new trick - rolling!

The blackhorned cockroach folded its arthropods and rolled on the ground, which was enough to crush all the infantry, but before it could roll, the head worm made all the infantry jump away, and the blackhorned cockroach rolled in a circle in vain.

When the cockroach finished rolling, the infantry pounced again, trying to jump on the cockroach again, but the cockroach reacted this time, and it instantly turned around and bit an infantry that rushed towards it.

Here, Lin noticed some details, the infantry attacked by the blackhorn cockroach instantly stopped and retreated at great speed, dodging the sharpness of the blackhorn cockroach, while the other three scattered and pounced on the blackhorn cockroach from different directions.

The blackhorned cockroach was chasing an infantry to bite, but it also noticed infantry pounced on both sides of its body, and it immediately began to shake its limbs non-stop, trying to kick the infantryman out.

The infantry changed direction slightly, slipped through the cockroach's kicking limbs, and climbed onto the cockroach again.

The cockroach was furious, and its limbs shrank and prepared to roll again, but then the infantry lying on it jumped away again, and the cockroach did not press them at all.

The infantry then repeated the previous move, trying to jump onto the cockroach's back.

Lin noticed that the head bug was not intended to directly harm the cockroach, but to make it more likely to be more active and make it tired.

The cockroach will be quite upset with the infantry that pounces on it, and it will constantly shake its body and roll, which will greatly deplete its body.

On the Mketu side, the cockroach had already eaten the infantry who had eaten a lot of bugs, and now it was waiting for the poison to kick in.

So, which side will be the winner? (To be continued.) )
