The roar of the corpse turtle brought Lin Xi back to reality, and several dark brown giant insects attacked Lin Xi with their teeth and claws.

However, these first-order insects were not taken seriously by Lin Xi at all, they were nothing more than food for Pandora.

The predator's giant claws easily grabbed the two corpses, and the tiny slits in the claws tore the front half of their bodies to pieces in an instant, and green blood splattered everywhere, swallowing flesh and carapace into it.

"The corpse turtle, one of the first-order insects in the insect world, prefers a dark and damp environment, and will lay eggs in flesh and blood during the breeding period. They don't have any special abilities other than their large size, but they usually live in groups, and often a second-order corpse turtle will be born in a colony of thirty or forty corpse turtles. Pandora said after devouring the flesh of the corpse.

"There seem to be far more than thirty or forty of them here." Lin Xi wielded the bone blade and split the head of a corpse turtle in half, and the predator cut the body of the giant worm under him into pieces one by one and devoured it, and the energy in its body was more than ten times that of the red beetle war insect.

The surrounding corpse turtles surrounded Lin Xi in the middle, their miserable green compound eyes flickered, and a low roar came out of their mouths, but they didn't dare to move forward.

In the distance, corpse turtles were still emerging from the ground, and the team's retreat route had been completely blocked.

The captain noticed the situation on Lin Xi's side, but he couldn't be distracted at all. His field of vision was full of those huge dark brown bugs, but fortunately, the fire was fierce enough that not a single corpse turtle could rush to the front for the time being.

However, they were unable to move an inch under the resistance of corpses and turtles who were not afraid of death.

"How can there be so many bugs here, Liang Hui didn't mention it at all?" The adjutant asked as he pulled the trigger.

"Maybe it's because they're hiding underground, so they can't be detected?" The captain said uncertainly.

He didn't blame Liang Hui's ability or the regiment leader's decision-making in his heart, he knew long before he set off that no plan was foolproof, let alone an ability that they didn't understand at all.

"What to do? If we continue like this, we will run out of ammunition in no time! The adjutant asked.

The captain looked around, some of them looked desperate, and some of them looked at death as if they were home. The giant insects on the periphery are layered on top of each other, with no end in sight, sharp insect limbs and hideous mouthparts intertwined, and the sound of gunfire and insect chirping are mixed together.

The captain knew in his heart that there was only one way to die if he stayed here, so he gritted his teeth and yelled at the soldiers: "Rush out with me!" ”

"Wang Yu, you take a few people, stare at the back of the buttocks, and try to delay their speed." The captain looked at the adjutant and said that this was the most dangerous task, and he handed it over to the most trusted person.

"Wrap it up on me!" The adjutant did not hesitate.

The captain patted him on the shoulder, then shouted, "The others are following me!" ”

Several grenades blew a gap, and the captain led the charge, followed by the rest of the soldiers. The bullets poured frantically like they didn't want money, beating the corpse turtle in front of them into defeat, and the adjutant landed at the back of the team with a few people, desperately blocking the chasing speed of the corpse turtle in the rear.

With the help of grenades, the team managed to fight their way through. However, just when everyone thought they could escape, the ground in the middle of the group caved in, and out of it came a giant insect covered in steel gray, which looked very similar to other corpse turtles, but was much larger, and the dark brown carapace also turned into a gray that tended to be black.

Several soldiers tripped over the sudden attack, and the sharp limbs of the giant worm slashed through them, cutting them off at the waist.

The adjutant turned his head and aimed the submachine gun in his hand at the giant insect, but the bullet hit the steel-gray carapace and made a "bell" sound, the carapace dented, and the bullet was also bounced away, and it could not hurt the giant insect at all.

The corpse turtles on both sides swarmed up, instantly submerging the broken soldiers.

……

"The steel-armored corpse turtle has finally appeared." Lin Xi watched the battle not far away.

The steel armored corpse turtle is the second-order form of the corpse turtle, which greatly strengthens the defense of the insect shell, and ordinary bullets cannot hurt it at all.

Of course, the Steel-Armored Turtle is not covered in the steel-gray insect beetle, its face, mouthparts, abdomen, and tail are relatively fragile, and if it can hit these parts, the bullet can threaten its life.

The appearance of this second-order insect means that the status of human thermal weapons will be greatly reduced, ordinary firearms are very good for dealing with first-order insects, but second-order insects such as steel armored corpse turtles, burrowing giant worms, red lotus beetles, these specialized insects can completely resist ordinary bullets, only sniper rifles or extremely powerful heavy weapons can forcibly break through their body surface defenses.

And the stronger third-order bugs, even bazookas, anti-aircraft guns are difficult to destroy them.

With the arrival of high-tier bugs in the future, the era of thermal weapons will finally come to an end, and all sorts of powerful abilities will shine.

"Second-order corpse turtle, Lin Xi, it is qualified to be our descending body." Pandora said.

"Wait, something is wrong, there are too many corpse turtles." Lin Xi looked around, and according to a rough estimate, the number of corpse turtles had exceeded one hundred and fifty, and there were still more corpse turtles coming out of the ground.

"A mere second-order bug, can you control so many corpse turtles? And can also command them to hide underground," Lin Xi's heart moved slightly, "Could it be that?" ”

As if to confirm Lin Xi's conjecture, the surrounding circle of corpse turtles slowly retreated, and there was a movement of some huge creatures passing through their feet.

Three iron-armored corpse turtles broke through the ground and surrounded Lin Xi, and under the steel-gray insect armor was a huge body comparable to a poisonous spider, and the miserable green insect eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light.

However, Lin Xi's attention was not on them at all, she stared at another terrifying figure.

The ground shook violently, a huge crack cracked, and a thick insect leg like a stone pillar stretched out, covered with pure black insect beetles, and thick blood flowed down the hideous insect legs.

Immediately afterwards, the ground completely collapsed, and when the owner of the insect leg completely appeared on the surface, the surrounding corpse turtles, including the iron armored corpse turtles, all lowered their huge heads.

It was a giant insect that was more than seven meters tall and more than three times the size of the ironclad corpse turtle, four pairs of insect limbs were burly and powerful, the pure black insect armor covered the whole body, and its mouth was also gnawing on half of the human body, and its scarlet eyes showed a humanized light, as if staring at Lin Xi with a trace of curiosity and doubt.

Lin Xi also stared at it, and all his previous questions were answered.

The mother of the corpse turtle, one of the future six insect kings, and the culprit in the capture of Nanjiang City.

I didn't expect to lurk here at this moment, no wonder I could control such a huge number of corpse turtles, only the mother of corpse turtles with extremely high wisdom and spiritual power had such ability and courage.

"Lin Xi, do you want to go up?" Pandora asked in her mind.

"The future fourth-order insect king only has the strength of the second-order peak now." Lin Xi asked rhetorically, "Don't you think this will be a very good Advent Body?" ”
