Chapter 205: Tactical Adjustments
Torres lit up his empty eyes and exchanged information synaesthesia with nearly a hundred dolphins in front of him. A look of surprise gradually appeared on his face:
"Oh no, it's coming at us, scattered left and right!"
Before the words fell, a loud sound of "booming ......" was heard, and the momentum was surging and terrifying. The seabed below looked like it had been blown over by some kind of huge bomb, and the entire plot was lifted almost from the bottom up. It stirred up a huge shock wave and sand and dust everywhere, obscuring everyone's view.
Before the dust could clear, a giant bobbit worm had broken through the ground. It stuck its head out in the middle of the dust and raised its head to the sky, roaring wildly:
"Moo......"
Like a roar, the loud sound resounded through almost the entire sea. It does have many secrets about the phenomenon of sound. If it is a timid and weak-willed person, it will be frightened by this voice. Maybe it's because people with low willpower can't afford shouting notes of this frequency.
Everything came too quickly, and the giant bobbit worm appeared beneath the army led by Torres and Psimon. And when they rushed upward, they directly knocked out the forward troops that they didn't have time to disperse, which shows how powerful the speed and strength of the giant worm is.
"The vanguard troops disperse immediately!" Torres commanded to the army: "Arrows from the troops behind!"
The dolphins and swordfish were fast swimmers, and almost in the blink of an eye, they scattered in response to the vanguard troops, leaving the giant worm surrounded by the merfolk army.
Then the troops who still maintained the battle formation drew their bows and shot at the target giant worm. The arrows were densely nailed to the giant insect like raindrops, but the giant insect's skin armor was thick and hard, and the arrows nailed to the body did not seem to hurt or itch. It swayed and roared at the merfolk troops that were closer to it, as if mocking the insignificance of its opponent and trying to force it back.
"Use the Sodium Core Arrow!" Torres ordered again.
The Sodium Core Arrow is a weapon made of pure sodium sealed into a hollow arrow, and after the middle arrow pierces the target, it triggers a mechanism to cause the pure sodium to leak out of the water, and the chemical reaction emits sparks to burn the target in the water.
The second rain of arrows came in a dense manner towards the giant bobbit worm. The giant insect may still despise these innocuous cold weapons, and to it it is only the feeling of a gust of wind, so it does not dodge.
I saw that after the second batch of sodium core arrows pierced the giant insect, sparks and bubbles erupted in the eyes of the arrows. Many arrows reacted together, some exploded directly, and some did not explode, but they continued to release chemical heat energy to burn their leather armor, and this attack had an effect.
The giant insect felt bad and had a convulsion, but it was not able to use the sea water to cool itself down because it was in the sea, and finally felt like it was being beaten. It threw its head back and roared again, and shook its massive body to shake the arrows off its body.
"If it can speak, it must be shouting oops." "The weapon we designed for it worked," Psimon said.
Shaking its body didn't reduce the pain, and the giant worm snapped back. Like a giant rubber band, it swooped into the sand of the seabed, and stirred up a thick layer of sand and dust to obscure the vision. It's like throwing a smoke-making bomb.
"Gross! Acantero is so cunning. Torres condescendingly observed the battlefield and said, "This sea is a great plain of sand, which is very advantageous for giant insects."
"That's right, we have to raise our level and not get too close to the bottom of the sea to avoid being attacked by giant insects." Psimon suggested.
The merfolk army opened up and spread a net "empty" over the entire sea area. Wherever the giant worm comes out, it beckons with a bow and arrow.
The giant bobbit insect hid under the thick sandy plains and did not move for a long time. Could it be that it is afraid?
"I have a feeling that something is not going well!" Torres said slowly: "If the giant insect hides in the sand, if it borrows the sand to rub it, like a chicken on land bathes, won't it wash away the sodium core arrow?"
"That makes sense," replied Psimmon, "and then the power of the sodium-core arrow will be reduced, so what can we do?"
"What we have to fight for is time. You can't just use bows and arrows, you can use swords and cold weapons. Torres swung his sword at the merfolk army, giving the order for a tactical change. In addition to the archers, the other warriors of the mermaid army showed their swords one after another, and the spears and swords showed their edges together.
What should come will still come, and suddenly exploded at a certain point in the sandplain. The sand and gravel were flying around, and the thick smoke and dust had not yet dispersed, so I couldn't see what was going on there for a while. But the movement made the tense merfolk warriors focus their attention here, thinking that the worms would emerge from this outcrop.
"Be careful, that's the tail!" Torres sounded at the place and shouted, "It's playing with the sound!"
Before he could finish speaking, a huge shadow burst out from the sandy field in another location, which was the head and half of the body of the giant insect. As it scurried upwards, it opened its mouth and spewed a huge stream of water at the merfolk warriors that surrounded it upwards, squirting the merfolk warriors who were not fast enough to dodge. If you look closely, the arrows on the back of the giant worm have been scraped off a lot as analyzed.
"Attack!" Torres shouted.
The soldiers of the mermaid army waved the cold weapons in their hands and slashed at the giant insect, and in an instant, there were already dense warriors on the back of the giant insect, swinging their knives and slashing the thick and hard leather armor of the giant insect. Why is the leather armor too hard, but the power of the sword is still too small.
"With the little things in your hands, you think you can subdue me!"
Arcantero's arrogant voice came from the throat of the giant worm: "Well, I have to admit that those strange arrows do make people feel so itchy!"
The giant worm twisted its body after spraying water to disperse the merfolk army, like a merfolk warrior trying to shake off its body and wielding its sword at it, and it didn't seem to be in much pain. Then there are signs of contraction.
"Disperse!" Torres ordered again.
Just as he had judged, the giant insect suddenly retreated back into the sandy field of the seabed as it had just done earlier. The resulting shock wave of water formed a vortex, disrupting or sucking the merfolk warriors who spread slowly into the sand hole underwater, and it was clear that the merfolk army did not take much advantage of this game.
"Damn!" Psimon sighed, "We have to find a breakthrough quickly."
The scattered merfolk warriors, with the help of dolphins and swordfish, quickly returned to their positions and re-formed their formation.
However, similar to the battle situation just now, the giant insect suddenly retreated to the ground, and suddenly rushed up to attack. The speed is fast and powerful, like a sledgehammer suddenly sticking out of the sand and bombarding the sky. When the hammer hits, it will also jet water, stirring up the entire sea area with sand and obstructing vision.
Torres thought calmly, as long as the giant insect in front of him could sense where it would attack more quickly, and then attack from there, it would be able to turn passive into active. Then he turned his head and shouted, "Great sapper! It's your turn to show your hand! ”
