It's such creatures that fight against the Behemoth......
When they curl up, they're basically a sphere, and when they stretch out, they become a giant centipede-like creature made up of dozens of knots, each with three sharp blades.
These metal centipedes are capable of flying through the air, spinning at high speed and charging towards enemies. You don't need any more attacks at all, just spinning close to your enemies is enough to put a lot of pressure on all enemies.
Almost instantly, a giant beast was crushed alive by dozens of metal centipedes!
Israel immediately manifested herself and joined the warband with three of her little henchmen.
In the face of such enemies, the silk, which is full of stickiness and difficult to cut, has become the nemesis of the metal centipede. And the lightning spell attached to the spider silk will make the metal centipede slow down.
However, the Behemoths will not sit still, and they are all smart enough to face different enemies. Seeing that this metal centipede is extremely strong in melee combat, then all the behemoths will use long-range attacks. Fire, freezing, lightning, corrosion, every means imaginable. And those metal centipedes are just as powerful, and every time one of the joints of their bodies is destroyed, that joint is immediately discarded, and the rest of their bodies are put back together.
Isriel discovered that the joints of the metal centipedes were not linked by any mechanism, but were drawn together by something like a guò circle.
From the ship, Isriel learns that each joint of the metal centipede has an independent mental consciousness. Although the consciousness of the mind alone is not very high. But when linked, each metal centipede has a wisdom that is not inferior to that of a giant beast.
Seeing that the battle could not be taken advantage of. The metal centipedes flew together, their blades shrinking. It turned into a giant orb, a spun and smashed into a giant beast. And the beast roared and was about to crash into it. Suddenly, the sphere exploded, swallowing the beast in one fell swoop. Immediately afterward, the sound of countless blades piercing and the roar of the giant beast was heard. And when the sphere burst open again, all that was left was the bloody corpse of the beast.
No!
"Bronck, aren't you alright?"
Israel asked aloud, and in the midst of the battleship, Bronk was stunned by the voice of Israel that suddenly appeared.
"It's all right!" Bronk roared.
"Shoot me!"
Suddenly, the main guns of the three battleships opened fire at the same time, and the huge sphere formed by the combination was immediately torn apart by the main guns!
The main gun was damaged by the impact when it first came in, and Bronk took his brothers to repair it. There were a total of nine main guns located on the front of the battleship. These three main guns are the ones that can still be repaired, and the remaining six are completely damaged and unusable.
Still, the effect of this blow was not bad. The huge sphere was broken, which made many of the small structures that make up the sphere explode on the spot. The rest of the pieces were reassembled into small metal centipedes and escaped.
"Safe for now?"
Islam looked around, not like there was any sign of an enemy. But her contact with the ship was not broken, and the ship told Isriel that these little things had not gone far, but had been eyeing them around. At the same time, because of the fighting here. All the metal centipedes inside the entire asteroid have been summoned to move here, which means that the next step is to fight hard.
I have to say, these little things are hard to wrap around.
According to the clues provided by the ship, these little things have a small biological brain in the center. Then all qiē, including the nutrient supply system, is made entirely of mechanical structure. They are very protective of their brains, and it is difficult for almost any fighting spirit or spell to directly damage them. Unless, of course, the use of extreme violence to forcibly destroy. But that's a huge waste of energy. And fighting here is not your home turf, and waste means death.
"How do these little things move? There's no commander?"
Israel asks the ship.
The spacecraft gave an answer: "In the center of the asteroid, there is a place that the spacecraft cannot detect." These cyborgs seem to have come from there, if ever there's an order-maker. That's the only way to go. ”
Sit back, or move on?
I don't plan to wait here!
"Bronck, shoot me! I want a direct passage to the asteroid's central area!"
Islam commanded. The three main guns immediately opened fire in turn, and the range of the main guns of these battleships was more than tens of kilometers, even if it penetrated the entire asteroid. However, after the rounds of bombardment, the fire of the main guns was blocked by something. And after another cannon fire, Israel saw that the energy of the cannon fire had been absorbed!
"Stop shelling!
Isriel and her three minions rushed ahead, the army of behemoths roaring and following closely behind. Along the way, the army constantly fires various spells to expand the battlefield. More metal centipedes are also flying, trying to stop the advance of the army of behemoths. It's a pity that they can't stop Isriel, so they can't stop the entire army.
And how could Isriel stop it like that?
Evolving through devouring, Israel has an astonishing defense, and the blades of these metal centipedes, though sharp, are unable to penetrate her body. On the other hand, one spider silk missile of Israel was enough to immobilize dozens of centipedes. These soft and sticky spider silk don't care if you're sharp or not, as long as the blade is sticky, that chain of individuals will never want to leave.
At this time, all the behemoths that can spray slime and possess slime-based spells have also learned how to deal with them. Although these centipedes are difficult to destroy, there is no need to destroy them, as long as they are immobilized.
Finally. The army came before the barrier. The behemoths set up a huge barrier to stop the swarming centipedes. So that Isriel can study the thing in front of her with peace of mind. It was a sphere larger in diameter than Islam's body. The outside is metal, but there are many fine lines on the surface of the metal to form a circle. This circle can absorb energy.
"Well, whatever is here, come out for the old lady now. ”
Islam said.
Of course, there was no echo in it.
Great.
"I'd like to see, how long are you going to hide in there?"
If the energy method doesn't work, then let's try brute force! There are so many giant beasts here, isn't it still possible?
A dozen pure brute force behemoths stood up and slammed at the orb. A huge roar kept coming, making the surrounding metal centipedes even more crazy.
"Big sister, there's a crack here!"
One of Isriel's henchmen shouted.
"Cracks?
Spider silk is constantly being thrown. Huge cobwebs form to cover the entire sphere from both ends. And the behemoths all have a spider silk in their hands.
"One, two, three!"
Open!
Rumble!
The black shell shattered, and inside the sphere, Israel finally saw what was hidden here.
It was a tetrahedron suspended in the air, transparent throughout, with a huge brain inside. And countless of these tetrahedra form a huge sphere. The orb was wriggling in the air, arcs of lightning flashing across the surface.
"So, you're also a test subject of giants?"
A consciousness came, and at the same time there was a giant power.
"I'm not an experiment, I'm a giant modified biological weapon. ”
Islam said.
"It's all the same. We all have a sad fate, and we don't want to be in this world, but we are forcibly given life by giants. ”
That consciousness said.
"No, obviously I don't think so. I'm glad that the giants have given me new powers, transforming me from a little reptile with only a little intelligence to a queen of giant beasts. In fact, I've always hoped that the giants would make me stronger. ”
Islam said.
"So let's say. You're different from us. ”
That consciousness said.
"It's different, but I can talk to you about it. How about you give me this ship?"
Israel wasn't going to keep talking, God knows what he was going to do.
"If it's given to you. Where are we going?"
The consciousness asked rhetorically.
"Or you can join me and fight for me. ”
Islam said.
"No, we hate fighting. ”
That consciousness said.
"You hate fighting? You hijacked this ship, you attacked life, and then you sued me that you hate fighting?"
Islam smiled.
"What you say is the truth, we are ashamed, we do it, but we are more afraid of death than we are ashamed. ”
Israel was stunned, because what the other party said turned out to be true.
This consciousness, or rather the name of this group of consciousnesses, is called the thought array. This is a research project of the giants, who got the inspiration from the crystal poison in the first place. Individual crystal poisons have almost no ability related to consciousness other than the instinct to reproduce, but once the crystal poison begins to enrich, then soon these crystal poisons will generate a kind of cluster consciousness, and the end result of this consciousness is the creation of crystal nuclei. The giants thought it was very interesting, so the giants began to explore and try to create a similar life. Of course, in order to prevent the birth of a life that expands like crystal poison, the giants have slightly improved their plans, and they have given a certain amount of wisdom to the initial consciousness so that there will be no runaway events. But this plan was only halfway through when it was attacked by the dragons and forced to land here.
The creature on the spaceship has a strong ability to fuse, and in order to avoid being fused, this initial independent consciousness dived into the asteroid's interior, and then used the asteroid's resources to try to strengthen itself. Eventually, the ship that devoured the asteroid from the outside in met it from the inside out, and the battle was inevitable. In the end, it won, and the ship was under its control.
However, as it grows stronger, it has a very urgent need: a source of energy. At first it also tried to mine asteroids for nutrients through guò, but it was obvious. As it grows stronger, it is unrealistic to simply draw energy from these barren planets.
So it had to travel to some rich planets to get a little resources and food. Because of its strength, and its quick action, it barely encounters any opponents, and it doesn't come up very often – once the food crisis is solved, it immediately goes dormant.
This earned it the title of a ghost battleship here.
However, as it grew wiser, he became more and more skeptical of his own existence, and he was disgusted with his reliance on plundering for resources, but his survival instincts did not allow him to die on his own.
So, it's always been very distressed about where it should go.
Israel was speechless about this annoyance.
"Would you worry about this kind of thing, are you all a bunch of brains?"
Islam said.
"You won't have this kind of trouble, just because you don't have enough intelligence. ”
Thought Array said.
"Don't worry, even if I had enough wisdom, I wouldn't have thought about it. Isriel shook her head and said, "All life in the multiverse depends on predation to survive, from small bugs to dragons, whether it is a god-created life or a naturally born life. So, predation is nature, the essence of this multiverse, the imprint and instinct that is deeply embedded in all life. You have a lot of brains, so you think a lot, but if you want to live, you still have to rely on that instinct in the end. ”
"You're saying it's instinct? right?"
Thought Array asked.
"Yes, of course it's true. ”
Isriel said as a matter of course.
"In that case, then I can eat you with confidence!"
Airplanes!
Inexplicably vibrating, each regular tetrahedron emitted powerful mental fluctuations. This wave resonated violently, and all the behemoths around it, including Isriel, were unable to move!
"Is this stalling for time?"
Israel asked with a smile, not showing the slightest hint of nervousness.
"Yes, that's it. After all, it will take some time to control all of you, dragon hunters. ”
Thought Array said.
"It's worthy of having a lot of brains, and the table is so sincere. ”
Isriel pouted.
"It's not a table xiàn, the qiē I said is true, that is the consciousness that comes from the depths of the mind, I am not lying. "But as you said, it's the instinct of this cosmic creature, and I need energy, or I'm going to die." I can't let you go, or I'll face a stronger enemy next time. In that case, I can eat you, replenish my energy, and avoid the hidden dangers of my exposure. ”
As he spoke, countless mechanical centipedes had rushed up and surrounded all the behemoths.
Israel nodded, "What you said makes a lot of sense, I think even the decision I made is nothing more than that." ”
"But ......"
"You seem to have forgotten one thing!"
A sly smile tugged at the corner of Isriel's mouth.
"Your shell is gone.
