In the blink of an eye, the time came to the afternoon. The Destroyer was never tired, fearless, or afraid of death. He charged forward one after another without stopping, and finally gained the upper hand in the stalemate.
As the parasitic army's ballistae troops fired at high frequencies, components of the ballistae continued to be damaged, and large ammunition gradually ran out. They had no choice but to use mung bean bullets, which were much less lethal, and the crossbow gunner's physical strength was also on the verge of exhaustion. , the density of bullet rain is greatly reduced. On the water filled with motionless corpses and struggling living bodies, the Destroyer's physical pontoon began to spread faster and faster, like uncontrollable black flames burning on the water towards the shore.
Soon, the first Destroyer used its jointed limbs and jaws to bite a stone on the shore. Most of the stone was submerged in the edema, but the upper half was exposed to the water and blended with the river bank. Immediately afterwards, a giant Destroyer stepped on the back of its kin, stepped on several other arthropods in the already shallow water, jumped directly onto the stone, raised its head to the sky and opened its jaws, as if roaring silently, announcing that the Destroyer had arrived. Conquered the river.
The next moment, a parasitic damselfly flew low like a cannonball and hit the giant destroyer, pushing it into the water. The giant destroyer's jaws also suddenly bit the hind abdomen of the parasitic damselfly in the entanglement, and dragged the parasitic damselfly into the water that was about to lift up and leave. The two giant beasts tore into a ball in the shallow water, causing splashes. Splashing around, they both drowned soon, and they were still entangled until they died, drifting away with the current.
At this time, more and more Destroyers of all types have landed ashore one after another. The landing site where the pontoon bridge connects the river bank has expanded to more than one meter wide and continues to expand.
Seeing that they could no longer stop the enemy with ballistae alone, the parasitic brain at the forefront sent out a counterattack force. Large swarms of parasitic centipedes crawled out from the dark, damp stone cracks not far away. Countless arthropods swept across the ground, and thousands of parasitic centipedes rushed towards the landing site. And on each parasitic centipede, there are one or several parasitic snails firmly attached to its back.
The antennae-like eyes of these parasitic snails have been completely filled with parasitic bacteria, and their original appearance is almost unrecognizable. Correspondingly, their original vision is completely disabled.
Although centipedes are carnivorous insects with venomous fangs, their combat effectiveness is not strong. Even if they are parasitized, their combat effectiveness does not increase significantly. But these parasitic centipedes move fast and can carry heavy weights. Once they bite together with a Destroyer, the parasitic snail carried on their back will explode. The fire or snail shell fragments are enough to destroy the Destroyer with the thickest carapace.
These self-destructing centipedes are a unit used by the parasitic army to imitate the White-bellied Destroyer. The power of self-destruction comes from the parasitic snails on the backs of the centipedes. These snails eat a large amount of cultivated fluorescent bacteria. The high-concentration fluorescent bacteria liquid cannot be digested and can only be accumulated in Within its body, the density is getting higher and higher. As long as the parasitic bacteria drills an opening through the snail's abdomen to allow air to enter, it is enough to cause spontaneous combustion and explosion.
Combining centipedes and snails, two types of soldiers with little combat power, to combine their power was also the advice given by the Strongest Brain after learning that parasitic snails could extract fluorescent bacteria liquid through eating. The parasitic snail can also spit out a higher concentration of fluorescent bacteria liquid for other tactical purposes.
Under the crazy attack and self-explosion of the parasitic centipede, the Destroyer was once blocked on the beach, unable to move forward. However, soon a large number of White-bellied Destroyers landed on the beach under the cover of other Destroyers. They also rushed towards the Parasitic Centipede and took the initiative to self-destruct. They used explosions to prevent the opponent's explosive tactics and once again pushed the battle line away from the pontoon beach to cover the other Destroyers. Take the opportunity to log in.
For a time, the battlefield on the beach was filled with explosions and smoke, and firelight and air waves were rising and falling in a twisted but coherent line. It seemed that this battle did not belong to this wild world, but had traveled to a certain gunpowder era. The self-destruction troops on both sides consumed each other, and it was like two raging wildfires violently colliding together, and finally perished together, leaving only heat and smoke on the earth.
Parasitic centipedes are large, fast, and powerful in self-destruction, but they are small in number. White-bellied Destroyers, on the other hand, seem to be endless in number, crawling along the pontoon from the other side of the river. The competition between the two sides finally ended with all the parasitic centipedes exhausted. There were still hundreds of white-bellied destroyers still looking for targets on the battlefield. After not seeing any living parasitic centipedes, these parasitic white-bellied destroyers stepped on the already dead bodies. The sand that had been turned over by the explosion and the fragments of flesh and blood that were stepped on every step continued to advance deeper.
Behind the White-bellied Destroyer, countless Destroyers of all types also gathered on the beach, and then attacked, forming a countercurrent river on the rugged terrain, surging from the water to the land!
Standing in front of the Destroyer is a tall termite mound, as big as a human hut, guarding the only way from the beach to the depths. This is a castle built by parasitic termites, and it is also the artillery position closest to the beach. There are countless protruding platforms on the ant mound, and various types of ballistae are placed there.
Fully half a million parasitic termites guard this huge anthill castle, covering the ballistae above and behind. Because there were so many of them, the city was overcrowded, so as many as 300,000 parasitic termite troops were deployed in the wild to face the enemy.
The ballista unit resumed firing at this time. Seeing that there was no hope of destroying the pontoon landing site, they turned to bomb the route of the Destroyer's attack, forming barrages of barrages in an attempt to separate the Destroyer's vanguard and supporting troops. In front of the castle Narrow passages allowed ballistae units to concentrate their firepower.
There were only a few thousand destroyer strikers who still did not hesitate to crash into the parasitic termite army, and actually quickly opened a breakthrough. Despite the large number of parasitic termites, the lethality of mandibular soldier ants is not as good as that of soldier ants equipped with jaw knives. The glue sprayed by elephant trunk soldier ants can only restrict the movements of small destroyers. For a large and powerful one, Most destroyers are almost ineffective, and the termites' abdomens are obviously weak. Those big destroyers and giant destroyers are not afraid of the bites of the mandibular soldier ants. They directly occupy the height advantage and attack the abdomen of the termites in front of them. With a bite and clamp of their mouthparts, they will kill a termite. A termite cut into two pieces.
The destroyer forwards tore a passage through the thick army of parasitic termites like arrows, but the parasitic termites also swarmed forward without fear of casualties. The accumulation of glue sprayed by the elephant-nosed soldier ants almost turned the ground into a swamp, and they were finally restrained. As the Destroyer moved, the mandibular soldier ants were unable to break through the Destroyer's defense, so they climbed onto it and attacked its weak points. The two sides continued to exchange casualties.
When the subsequent Destroyers broke through the fire blockade and arrived, the parasitic termites had already wiped out the Destroyer vanguard at a huge cost!
