The protagonist's attention is also attracted by this scene.
In the thick red poisonous mist, both enemy and friendly soldiers began to writhe in pain. The surface of their bodies was even corroded bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye. The carapace became pitted, and the tentacles and joints were bent. It broke bit by bit under the struggle.
This tragic scene is comparable to the bloodiest scene. These ants struggled and died in pain, with no possibility of rescue.
The other nearby God-Emissary King warriors and parasitic ants all fled the area in fear, and it became a vacuum zone for a while.
This parasitic centipede sprays an intense red mist. This scene seemed familiar, and the protagonist remembered that he had encountered this kind of centipede when he went from [Dongyang City] to the main nest [Qingqiu City] for the first time.
However, that centipede was not parasitized by the parasitic fungus, and the centipede in front of him was larger and more poisonous.
The red mist didn't condense at first, but slowly spread around, and the ants and parasitic beasts fled along the way.
But soon, with a gust of wind, the red mist gradually dissipated, leaving behind a floor of unrecognizable corpses. More than a dozen warriors of the Divine Envoy King and almost the same number of parasitic ants died unexpectedly, as well as some soldiers from both sides who were close by. Being affected and injured.
Fortunately, this parasitic centipede does not seem to be able to shoot continuously like the parasitic dragon louse. After all, this kind of highly concentrated and highly corrosive poisonous gas cannot be secreted casually.
After that, the parasitic centipede tried to get into the holes of the protective net, ignoring the thin but still existing red mist, and tried to climb up this section of the wall that no longer had defenders.
But even though it has a slender body, it is difficult to pass through small holes, especially because dozens of pairs of jointed limbs hinder the passage of the body, and it gets stuck in the net for a while.
The protagonist's eyes were on fire, and he was not going to let go of the murderer who killed more than a dozen of his subordinates.
He turned the ballista, aimed at the centipede trapped on the rope, and pulled the trigger.
The more it struggles, the more tightly it is entangled, like a living target. Even if it keeps twisting and turning, its huge body is extremely difficult to miss.
Five stone bullets hit the parasitic centipede almost at the same time, but apart from making some inconspicuous cracks on the centipede's carapace, causing the parasitic centipede to suffer pain and twist even harder, it did not have much effect.
The carapace of this parasitic centipede is extremely hard, actually harder than the back carapace of beetles such as dung beetles, and can withstand stone bullets, which the protagonist did not expect.
Seeing the parasitic centipede struggling violently, although most of its body was outside the net, twisting and rolling and crushing and injuring many parasitic ants, the power of the parasitic centipede also had a great impact on the protective net. The ropes were stretched so hard that they were deformed and shaking violently.
The protagonist asked the ants to load a slightly larger stone bullet, only one, and fired again.
The individual stone bullets were given extremely high speed by the ballista's spring set and bowstring. With a shrill sound of breaking through the air, they hit the middle part of the centipede's body hard.
This time, the centipede's solid outer carapace could not stop the stone bullet, and a bloody hole was punched in its body. The hole was bloody and bloody, and the ground was covered with carapace fragments and flesh and blood.
The protagonist fired two more rapid shots, opening another hole in the parasitic centipede and breaking off several centipede legs.
The parasitic centipede was severely injured, but it did not die for a while. Instead, it struggled harder and harder. Even several nearby wooden stakes fixed with ant concrete that fixed the net rope were pulled out.
For long insects like centipedes, the internal organs are relatively scattered in the body. Even a serious penetrating injury will not be fatal for a while. Earthworms are the best example of this. Even if an earthworm is cut into two parts, both parts can survive and grow into independent individuals. Although centipedes are not so magical, their unique body structure makes them difficult to kill.
The protagonist saw that the protective net entangled by the parasitic centipede was a little tight, and he was almost broken free, so he could only stop being stingy with ammunition and replaced it with a giant arrow and fired it.
The giant arrow pierced the body of the parasitic centipede, and the centipede moved back more than a centimeter as if it had been kicked hard by a pair of hind legs of a locust.
Its body was firmly pinned to the ground by the giant arrow. Although it was still struggling, it was becoming increasingly weak.
At this time, the poisonous needles of the dying parasitic centipede began to slowly exude red poisonous mist. The nearby parasitic ants and war beasts fled the area one after another, fearing that they would be contaminated by the corrosive poisonous gas.
This accidentally rescued the Divine Envoy King's army from the siege.
Due to the previous poison gas attack, the team guarding this small section of the city wall lost more than ten elite soldiers to the poison gas, and many of the remaining soldiers were injured and were forced to evacuate for a while.
After the poisonous fog dissipated, the parasitic ants kept coming, which greatly increased the pressure on the team that rushed back to defend.
After the parasitic centipede released the poisonous gas before it died, there were no more enemies in this small section of the city wall.
But the fighting between the two sides on other city walls was extremely fierce.
Due to the barrier of the protective net, the long-range attacks of the God's Envoy King's legion were also weakened to a certain extent. Coupled with the large number of parasitic ants, the enemy quickly climbed onto the city wall.
Although the defenders' razor tactics were still sharp, the frontline warriors of the God Envoy King were still under great pressure in the face of a steady stream of parasitic ants that were fearless and fearless to death, as well as some small parasitic war beasts that could penetrate holes in the protective mesh.
The enemy is very close, and the protagonist starts to use a ballista to try to kill those pale golden parasitic worker ants. These ants are the commanders of the parasitic ants.
At close range, the protagonist can easily find these pale golden enemies, but the shooting effect is not ideal. These large pale golden worker ants are always densely surrounded by many guards, and the ant heads are swarming. This scene seriously interferes with the protagonist's vision. , just like shooting with a sniper rifle and suddenly discovering that there is a kaleidoscope-like image inside the sniper scope.
The protagonist can only use a rain of five stone bullets to shoot in a general direction, and those pale golden parasitic worker ants will always move around very clumsily after realizing that they are being attacked. Although the protagonist's shooting occasionally kills one or two There are only large worker ants of light gold, but most of them have failed.
Inside the air defense net and on the city wall, the fighting was extremely fierce. Both sides were fearless warriors. They used the most primitive body weapons to entangle and bite, leaving blood and debris on the ground.
The corpses that fell from the city wall quickly piled up in a thick layer, and in some places they piled up into mountains. The newly arrived parasitic ants did not even need to climb the city wall, but could climb to the top of the city wall along the pile of corpses.
Generally speaking, with the protection of city walls and protective nets, long-range firepower, and the advantage of waiting for work, the parasitic ants have an advantage. Even if they pay a lot of casualties, the parasitic ants are still unable to gain a firm foothold on the city wall, let alone open a gap!
