Kapitel 108: Chapter 107
Lin called this place the Kibucha Beetle's' Crystallization Beetle Cave '. The troops were stationed at a cave entrance on the western side of the cave. There were many similar caves in the cave walls around the cave. Lin guessed that they relied on these caves to connect to the ground or something.
Lin's position was close to the surface of the nest, only about one meter above the ground, so she could send her troops in for a surprise attack. However, Lin did not rush in. After all, there were so many enemies, and it was dangerous to rush in recklessly.
Lin's troops seemed to have not been discovered yet. They did not seem to have any sentinels or something like that. Or was it because all the worms had been killed when they came in, so no one came back to report the danger?
Lin ordered a cannoneer to go forward and aim at the nearest crystallized tunnel in the nest.
In the crisscrossing tunnels in the insect cave, there were many Chibucha insects crawling around, and every tunnel was connected. If one of the tunnels was broken, it would cause a 'blockage'.
At this time, many Kibucha worms crawling on the tunnel noticed a strange creature in the tunnel, but they only took a glance and hurriedly left.
Looks like they're very busy …
Boom! The cannonball shot out and hit the tunnel. The impact of the explosion broke the crystallized tunnel, and a large number of worms fell to the ground because of the broken tunnel. A considerable number of them were also corroded by the dissolving liquid.
Due to the broken pipes, the insects behind them were unable to move forward. They stopped and looked around in confusion, which caused the insects behind them to stop moving forward. This phenomenon immediately spread, and in the end, the entire complex and busy crystallized tunnel with countless Qibucha insects moving back and forth came to a halt.
This could be called 'stupid' …
Lin saw that the flow of the tunnels in the entire nest had stopped because of a small section of the broken tunnel, and she couldn't help but feel amused.
Lin had seen many creatures that could dig complex tunnels. Normally, these creatures wouldn't just dig one tunnel. Instead, they would dig several side tunnels beside the main one. That way, even if the main one was interrupted, they could still use the side tunnels to transport goods.
Even brainless creatures knew this method.
However, this group of Kibucha worms did not have any side tunnels. Every tunnel was important, so they all stopped when a small section was broken.
Although the Qibucha insects seemed smart, there was a flaw in their intelligence. Or perhaps they had been living in peace for too long without any problems, so there was no need to build a secondary path?
Today, he would shatter this tranquility!
Boom!
The cannoneer fired again, and a section of the crystal pipe was blasted open again. Countless Kibucha insects fell from above, or were corroded into incomplete corpses.
This time, the stunned Kibucha Beetles finally snapped back to their senses. Almost at the same time, they all turned to look in the same direction – Lin's cave entrance.
Was it finally about to begin?
Lin could smell the 'excitement fluid' in their bodies that made their blood flow faster and their hearts beat faster. It meant that these bugs were now filled with rage!
'Full of anger'? What an interesting new word.
In the next moment, countless Kibucha bugs jumped down from their crystallized tubes. Some of them landed on the ground and made cracking noises. Under the influence of these noises, the lizards on the ground immediately lowered their bodies and allowed the bugs to crawl onto them or into their mouths.
As for the other Qibucha Beetles, they did not ride the lizards. Instead, they flew directly toward Lin.
So they could fly? Lin noticed that many of the ten-centimeter-long Kibucha insects could fly. They even put the five-centimeter-long ones on their backs, forming an interesting combination.
Countless glittering beetles swooped down from the sky, as beautiful as the falling stars in the sky. While sighing in amazement, Lin ordered the cannoneers to retreat while the Disintegrators moved forward to form a line in front of the cave entrance. The cave entrance was relatively narrow, so only ten Disintegrators could stand at the same time, but they were more than enough to protect the troops inside.
Of course, with their huge bodies, they could not block such a small target with their bodies alone, but the crushers had another trick up their sleeve...
"Beep!"
The crushers' vocal sac made a particularly sharp sound. Before Lin came in, she had dissected the Kibucha insect that was accidentally killed by the Brain Reader, so she knew the Kibucha insect's auditory structure. Lin calculated that if a high-pitched sound was emitted at this frequency, it would damage their auditory nerves and damage their brains.
Under the high-pitched sound, the flying Kibucha insects fell to the ground before they could reach the cave entrance. Their limbs twitched as if they were in great pain.
As for the largest species of Qibucha Bugs, they were about 30 centimeters long. They could still move under the high pitch, but their speed was very slow.
Lin was also surprised. She thought the sound would only stun the five-centimeter-long insects, but she did not expect it to be effective on all species.
At this time, countless shocking footsteps came from the ground. The giant lizards were charging towards them.
Lin noticed an interesting phenomenon. The lizards would try their best to avoid stepping on the Kibucha insects that fell to the ground because of the noise. It seemed that their relationship was not ordinary.
As the lizards charged, they roared loudly. This scattered the noise of the crushers, but the Kibucha insects that were stunned by the noise did not recover so quickly.
Then, let's begin the second round of attack!
The cannoneers walked between the crushers and aimed at the incoming lizards.
"Boom!" Under the first round of bombardment, several bombs hit the lizards in the face. The impact and dissolving fluid instantly tore open the scales and bones of their heads. Under the explosion of blood and brain matter, the lizards fell on the battlefield forever.
The lizards in the rear were not afraid of the tragic death of their companions. Instead, they charged forward even more angrily. Lin could smell that the closer they got, the more excited they became.
"Boom!" The second round of bombardment destroyed the heads of a few more lizards, but the sheer number of lizards made them ignore this loss. The remaining lizards continued to charge and were about to reach the cave entrance where Lin's troops were.
Lin ordered the troops to retreat and the crushers at the cave entrance to move closer. They faced the incoming threat with their cones facing outward.
Lin ordered some snipers to climb onto the crushers' backs. The bullets they fired pierced the eye sockets of several lizards, but by then, some of the lizards had already reached them. They opened their mouths and bit on the crushers' cones without a care in the world.
The lizard's upper jaw was broken when the Crusher's horn shot out. Following the powerful impact, the lizard's entire body flipped backward and was trampled into a bloody pulp by the other lizards that rushed up from behind.
These lizards were trying their best not to step on the Kibucha insects, but it felt weird to step on their own kind …
Although the lizards were not afraid of death and were ferocious, they could not fight against the crushers' defensive line. In the narrow cave, they could not use their advantage in numbers. They could not jump, and they did not have the ability to climb walls like most arthropods. They could only crash into the crushers' cones wave after wave.
Lin calculated that if they fought in this way, they could kill more than twice the number of lizards before the crushers ran out of nutrients.
In addition, Lin's cannoneers and snipers would occasionally fire from the rear. These lizards could only wait for their demise.
However, these lizards were not Lin's concern.
For this attack, Lin had brought dozens of Hive Carriers with her. They released a large number of Mad Bees at the rear of the troops. The Mad Bees flew past the crushers and lizards and arrived at the rear of the lizards, where the Kibucha insects that had been shaken off earlier were lying on the ground.
The Kibucha insects were unconscious, but this was only temporary. Even if their hearing was damaged, they would wake up sooner or later. The Mad Bees' mission was to tear them to pieces before that happened.
Lin was surprised. Most of the Kibucha insects were unconscious on the ground, but the lizards did not step on them. Lin did not see how they did it.
Regardless, the Mad Bees flew towards the defenseless Kibucha insects and began to tear their bodies apart with their dissolving fluid and sharp arthropods.
