The protagonist has just arrived at the gap along the second city wall, and is about to poke his head to see the situation of the parasitic dung beetles below.
Unexpectedly, this war beast happened to use the big shovel of its forelimbs to destroy the section of the city wall under the protagonist's feet, and the city wall was instantly shoveled down. Before the protagonist could react, he felt his feet loosen, and his body rolled down along with the city wall that burst into pieces.
The city wall collapsed in a small area. In addition to the protagonist, two soldier ants from the Angel King's legion also rolled down.
A soldier ant fell on the abdomen and back of a parasitic dung beetle, and was quickly wrapped and entangled by countless parasitic fungi. After a short struggle, it lost its breath.
The second soldier ant was knocked unconscious by a falling concrete block, and his life or death was unknown. But this is also a good thing, at least she doesn't have to face the crisis that the protagonist needs to face immediately.
The protagonist tumbles along with the collapsing wall until he finally falls to the ground. Although the second city wall is not high, only half a decimeter, the protagonist was still dizzy after falling and couldn't figure out what happened.
When he regained his composure, he suddenly felt something in his heart. Turning his head, he saw a huge, ugly, foul-smelling mouth not far away reaching towards him.
This is the parasitic dung beetle. When the protagonist rolled down, it noticed the ant that fell not far from itself. Taking a closer look, it suddenly discovered that this was the culprit who had thrown it off the fortress before.
Although this parasitic dung beetle was defeated by the protagonist once, it was not injured, so it has not fully understood the protagonist's power. At this moment, the enemy saw each other and was extremely jealous. The war beast took advantage of the protagonist's back to him, suddenly moved forward, and bit into the protagonist with a pair of whip-like jaws on its mouth.
The protagonist felt something in his heart, and when he happened to turn around at this moment, he saw a pair of jaws as thick as giant pillars clamping towards him.
This pair of large jaws has a section-by-section structure, twisting flexibly like a nine-section whip, and can clamp food like fingers and push it into the mouth. Countless soldiers of the God's Envoy King's Legion have died tragically here. Under the whip-like jaws.
The protagonist reacted very quickly and quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding the pair of whips. The parasitic dung beetle still refused to give up, and pushed forward suddenly, squeezing its bloated abdomen into the gap in the city wall, and slapped a huge shovel-shaped front foot towards the protagonist's head.
The protagonist suddenly jumped onto a protruding part in mid-air at the gap section of the city wall above the side, avoiding the attack of the parasitic dung beetle. After missing a hit, the war beast temporarily lost track of the protagonist and failed to see that the protagonist was not far above his head.
After losing its target, the parasitic dung beetle saw that no other ants were surrounding it yet, so it prepared to continue digging in the soil. As a result, it moved slightly and found itself stuck.
It turns out that the war beast just saw the protagonist and was eager to attack him. It pushed forward with its hind legs, and as a result, its bloated abdomen was caught in the sections of the city wall on both sides of the gap.
Unable to move after being stuck, the parasitic dung beetle swayed anxiously from side to side, waving its limbs wildly. For a moment, the gap in the city wall was filled with smoke and dust, and countless dirt particles were scattered everywhere.
If it were normal, this parasitic dung beetle would be able to get out of its trap in a short time as it works hard to dig up the soil. But now on the battlefield, there is a killer staring at it.
Seeing that the war beast is stuck and unable to move, the protagonist will naturally not miss this perfect opportunity. He ignored the flying gravel and dust, looked at the target and jumped down again.
The protagonist landed firmly on the flat head of the struggling parasitic dung beetle. This is the most sensitive organ of the war beast. It immediately felt the movement on its head. A great sense of danger immediately made the parasitic dung beetle frantically swing its head, trying to throw the protagonist off.
The protagonist firmly grasps the protruding horns of the parasitic dung beetle and fixes it firmly on its head as if it is glued.
Not only that, the protagonist also took the time to grab one of the parasitic dung beetle's swinging tentacles, and with a strong force, he uprooted the tentacles.
The severely injured war beast opened its mouth and howled silently. It suddenly retreated and actually got rid of the embarrassing situation of being stuck.
However, forcing it out of the gap in the city wall was not without cost. The hard black carapace on both sides of its abdomen had cracks, and light green tissue fluid was flowing from the cracks. It was obviously an internal injury.
The parasitic dung beetle retreated into the dense army of parasitic ants behind it. Countless parasitic ant warriors were gathering behind it, waiting to launch a general attack through the gap in the city wall.
However, now this injured and crazy beast no longer obeys the command. It rushes left and right in the dense formation of the parasitic ant warriors, and keeps hitting the ground, trying to get rid of the damn ant on its head.
At this time, the parasitic ants were in bad luck. Countless parasitic ants were knocked down by the sharp horns of the war beasts, swept away by the arthropods, and crushed by the big feet.
This scene will look familiar to military buffs. The status and role of parasitic dung beetles in the army of parasitic ants is similar to that of war elephants in the human army. War elephants can easily go berserk like this when they are severely injured or their driver dies.
Crazy war elephants often cause casualties to both sides of the battle equally, causing huge losses to both sides. Therefore, experienced Roman legionnaires would try to cut off the trunks of war elephants, deliberately causing them to go crazy and thereby confusing the enemy lines using war elephants. Lightly armored skirmishers armed with javelins were often used to drive war elephants backwards, as javelin blows could also cause them to go berserk.
It is precisely because of this serious weakness that the war elephant itself often plays the opposite role at critical moments in many battles, causing great losses to its own side.
This parasitic dung beetle frantically ran away along the first city wall, causing great losses to the parasitic ant army.
Just before he was about to rush into the position of the Angel King's Legion, the protagonist, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed another tentacle of the parasitic dung beetle in front of him and pulled it to the side, forcing the life-threatening running dung beetle to hit it hard with its head. On the city wall next to it.
The impact was so severe that the horns of the war beast's head were broken, and a large hole was opened in the second city wall, exposing the concrete inside the wall, which narrowly avoided collapse.
This parasitic dung beetle, which first suffered from the pain of a broken horn and then hit the wall, actually crawled a few steps unsteadily. Finally, it couldn't hold on anymore and slowly lay down. Blood mixed with internal organs fragments came out of its big mouth. Madness surged out, and it seemed that it was impossible.
The last war beast was finally eliminated, but before he could take a breath, the protagonist found that countless parasitic ants had surged behind him.
These parasitic ants quickly climbed up the body of the dung beetle, crossed its tall and broad carapace, and rushed towards the protagonist at the head.
At this moment, the protagonist, who has just experienced a big battle, is no longer able to activate the power of "gods descending from heaven", and friendly forces are still far away and cannot support them.
Just a second later, the overwhelming army of parasitic ants is about to engulf the protagonist.
