93 93 Sniper (1/2)
After Lin studied the silver beetle, many days and nights have passed ...
In the darklands, a large cave with a diameter of up to three meters is located on the border of the river. Several huge desert scorpions are lying beside the cave, seeming to be feeling the warm sunlight shot through the twisted trees. Fall asleep.
These desert scorpions that Lin had picked up before, they have grown to more than two meters long. Although they are no longer attached to Leviathan, they will still help Lin guard the nest.
The green carpet spreads to the surroundings at the entrance of the cave. The green structure covers an area of nearly 50 meters in a circle. Every five to ten meters, there is a half-meter high ”fort” standing, the body of the fort is The stone has a muzzle that can rotate 360 degrees at the top, and there is a complete set of 'explosive' structure inside, which can attack the enemies that have committed the green carpet at any time!At the same time, it has some blood vessel-like pipes connected to the green carpet to obtain nutrient supply.
For the vast darkness, the range of the green carpet is not very large, it can even be said to be quite small, because it takes a lot of crystallization to sprinkle the green carpet.
The green carpet has many small pipes connected into the cave. They extend to the place where the crystals are excavated, and are connected to a structure similar to the esophagus. In this way, the newly excavated crystals can be placed in the sac and transported through the pipeline. Give the green carpet outside.
Lin ’s excavation system is much larger than the green carpet. There is a main channel leading to the ground of the glittering woodland. This main road is bifurcated into countless trails. Lin has created a unit called “Engineer” to excavate. Collect the crystals in the soil. They are located about ten to twenty meters from the ground. There are quite a lot of crystal fragments here.
In addition to the development of the green carpet, Lin also has a dedicated hunting unit. They are usually located in the cave. When they find a suitable prey nearby, they will catch it, but the source of the captured nutrients is not stable.
Lin had thought about feeding on twisted trees all around, but found that these twisted trees could not be digested at all. They combined into a substance called 'wood', which could not be broken down by the usual solution.
This is really interesting. No wonder Lin has hardly seen any creatures to eat these trunks. Lin also started to break down the ingredients inside. If you can make it yourself, it feels pretty good.
Now, Lin mainly obtains nutrients through hunting, and Lin has come up with a way to hunt and kill with the least consumption.
In the daytime, the glittering woodland is not even bright at night at this time, but this does not affect other biological actions. Some salamanders are chewing moss on the open space in the forest.
Lin called this reptile a 'moss axolotl'. These half-meter-long newts were recently discovered by Lin. They will appear at the beginning of the humid day to feed on the moss.
Moss has good eyesight. They always raise their heads and look around, confirming that there is no danger around them, but they have not noticed at all. On the twisted trunk above them, a little hunter lurks.
This arm is a cystic oval with a size of only about 15 centimeters and has the ability to change color. It climbs on the trunk with a small barbed leg with a hook. It has been biting the bark and wood under it. This is not necessary. It is eaten, but crushed and swallowed into the body, and then re-bond them together with a chitin to form a spiky shape.
This spike will protrude from the muzzle on the back. It can use the dual system of explosives combined with pressure eruption in the body to shoot the spur.
This unit is called ”Sniper”, and its new explosive system can make the range of artillery reach tens or even hundreds of meters away!
Snipers also have excellent eyesight to improve their hit rate.
It is now, staring at the moss below ...
The structure of endoskeletal creatures is quite fun. They only want to surround the brain with a hard shell called 'cranial bone'. Most other important organs and cortex are only separated by a layer of meat. This structure and the hydraulic system can not be used. Body, let them be at a disadvantage in the arthropods.
'boom'!
With a burst of noise, the spiky shot at a very fast speed, and in a flash, it penetrated the body of a mosquito, and the spiky just hit its heart.
Just in this short moment, the sniper hunted successfully. More powerfully, the spikes were mixed with a strong dissolving solution, which can dissolve the heart muscle and nerve lines of the mosquito. The moss around did not even notice. This companion is already dead.
... even it didn't even notice it until it stopped breathing and fell on the moss.
The sniper is a very successful hunter with a structure, but it is almost a launcher all over its body, so it moves very slowly and is also very fragile. Lin will use another arm to recover the body.
Nesters, these round arms have a diameter of more than one meter, lying on the same tree as the sniper. When the sniper hunts the target, they will open the shell on the back and release a large number of bee colonies. It can gnaw the whole salamander into bone in a short time, and then bring the nutrients back.
At the same time, the mad bees released by the nest carrier can also be used to protect the sniper from other creatures.
Snipers can easily kill various creatures, and the mad bees decompose food very quickly. With the combination of these two arms, Lin can hunt in a very efficient way, obtain a lot of nutrients, and create more troops.
