“Russing…”

On a bare stone mountain, a mountain centipede as thick as an underground drainage pipe was walking through the cracks in the rocks. The black carapace was as hard as steel, and the edges rubbed against the rocks, creating sparks.

Looking around, there are rugged rocks, sparse vegetation, and steep rock walls, as if they had been chopped by a knife or axe. Although the mountain is steep, the mountain centipede is not affected at all. Thousands of segmented feet are like waves.

It moves like a ball, small and sharp, stuck on the mountain wall, as steady as flying.

It's winter now. Normally, it would hide in a rock crevice to hibernate. But this mountain centipede was a bit unlucky. It didn't find enough food in the autumn, and the nutrients it stored were not enough to survive the harsh winter, so it came out to look for food.

.

However, at this time, most of the creatures in the mountainous areas are hibernating, and food is very scarce. And it does not dare to go to the Black Death Forest further away. The creatures there are too powerful, and it does not want to become someone else's dinner. It is in

Walking through the cracks in the rocks, looking for delicious food that might be hidden inside and sleeping soundly. As a carnivorous mutant insect, its diet is very wide, and basically it can tear it into pieces and swallow it, except for vegetarian food.

"Chiji..."

Climbing from one mountain to another, and then into a valley, it was attracted by a small chirping of insects.

Between the cracks in the rocks, there are several milky-white figures shaking. If it were human vision, it might be mistaken for snow. But the identification methods of insects and humans are completely different. Centipedes have very poor eyesight and can only sense light.

and vague shadows, mainly relying on the sense of smell.

It dances red and black, like the tentacles of a whip. The odor molecules are attached to the surface of the tentacles and transmit the sweet taste to the insect brain through the taste cells.

The mountain centipede's thick body began to tremble, and it was extremely excited by the sweet prey. Then, it slowly lowered its body, wriggled its thousands of jointed legs, and quietly slipped into the cracks in the rocks.

A group of milky-white little guys were lining up, linked head to tail, as if they were carrying something. It quietly arched its body, and then with a "whoosh" sound, it jumped out and bit the round belly of one of the little guys.

The milky white liquid splashed out immediately, and the mouthparts filled with fangs were filled with a sweet taste.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Its sudden intrusion caused the group of white little guys to panic, and they all let out sharp screams. But even so, their formation was still not disordered, and they fled into the cave in order.

"Click, click, click..."

The mountain centipede chewed hard, the shells flew away, and milky white juice flowed out of its mouthparts. It was not in a hurry, as long as it knew the entrance to the ant nest, it would have plenty of time to enjoy the delicious food.

Swallow the chewed termite, and it will quickly find the next target, bite it, chew and swallow it with big mouthfuls.

The retreat of the termites lasted for several minutes, and during this period, a termite was killed every few seconds. When all the termites got into the stone hole, the mountain centipede immediately entered one after another and continued its gluttonous feast.

.The white, tender and juicy pieces of meat are undoubtedly the most beautiful delicacies in the world.

Although the termites screamed miserably, there was no confusion and they kept moving at a constant speed. When the mountain centipede swallowed the fifty-second termite, the tunnel became wider and there was a rustling sound on the cave wall.

, dirt kept sliding down, but it was immersed in the joy of eating and did not notice these changes.

When it swallowed the sixty-fifth termite, the line of termites suddenly began to accelerate. Seeing the food escape, it angrily chased after it. At this time, there was a dense crawling sound from behind.

Driven by instinct, it turns its head and moves backward in a "U" shape.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

Suddenly, a sharp neighing sound echoed through the corridor. Unlike the panicked calls made by the termites before, this was an orderly war cry.

The next moment, a flood of termites poured into the hole. They did not look similar to the previous termites. They did not have bulky bellies or short jointed legs. They had six long legs and were covered with armor. Their pincers were thick and large.

The action is very fast.

The mountain centipede was not worried that these weak creatures could not cause damage to its carapace, so it moved its body in an orderly manner, turned around and crawled out, and occasionally bit a guy without eyes, chewed it and swallowed it.

But not long after, it began to become manic and emitted a harsh insect chirp.

The soldier ant couldn't bite its carapace, so it turned around and bit its jointed feet. It didn't feel it at first. It was a hundred meters long and had thousands of jointed feet. Some of them would break off and regrow in a few days.

.

But when the number reaches a certain level, its movement becomes difficult. Soldier ants crawl all over its body and bite at the weak points of its joints. The mountain centipede twists its body crazily, and the huge force throws the soldier ants against the cave wall.

Go up and crush into pieces.

However, more and more soldier ants appeared, including a kind of worker ant with a swollen abdomen and a white peritoneum glowing with a bright green light.

"Zizzizi!"

They open their mouthparts and spit out streams of bright green formic acid, which fall on the carapace and emit large plumes of white smoke.

A little acid can't cause much damage, but when the amount reaches a certain level, the effect is extremely terrifying. The thick carapace is corroded and penetrated, and large areas of the carapace are lifted open, revealing the white flesh inside.

"grumble!"

The severe pain of being torn flesh and blood was transmitted to the insect's brain, and the mountain centipede let out a huge scream, but it didn't have much strength to struggle anymore. More and more termites crawled on it, until finally, the entire body was submerged.

Three days later, all that was left of the giant mountain centipede was an empty shell, which was so clean inside that not even a strand of flesh could be found.

Then, a goose egg-sized crystal nucleus was delivered to the hind insect.

"Hide it quickly, my brother likes these colorful stones the most."

The termites that were being transported raised their heads, made a squeaking sound, then ran to the corner with the crystal core in their mouths, dug a hole and buried it.

At the same time, in the ruins of the city thousands of kilometers away, the newly established town has taken shape.

It is said to be a small town, but more like a solid fortress. Although there are merchants and mercenaries passing by, they are few in number and they are cautious and polite.

Making trouble on Beiqiao Regiment's territory has only two consequences. The best is to be kicked out, and the other is to stay here forever.

The scope of activities of outsiders is limited to the periphery of the fortress, and no one can get close to the middle part.

At this time, out of everyone's sight, in the central area under heavy defenses, mechas were neatly arranged.

Logistics personnel wearing orange overalls were running back and forth, carrying toolboxes or oil drums in their hands. The hatch of the mecha was open, and the pilot inside was checking the equipment.

A woman wearing a white combat priest robe and a woman wearing a red combat uniform with two long knives crossed behind her back were patrolling the field. Every time they passed a place, the mercenaries would stop what they were doing and stand at attention towards them.

salute.

The woman in the red combat uniform is not short, she seems to be 1.7 meters tall, but standing next to the woman in the white combat priest robe, she looks a bit petite and delicate.

"Why, you want to go down too?" The woman in red combat uniform crossed her arms and looked calm, "Hua Po won't agree, right?"

"I need front-line combat experience." The woman in the white battle priest robe looked at the busy personnel and sighed, "With the title of deputy commander, you can't just be a showman, right?"

The woman in red combat uniform had a serious face, "Do you want me to hide it from Hua Po?"

The woman in the white battle priest robe did not answer directly, but talked about other things, "I am the deputy captain in charge of supplies. I want to personally inspect the newly arrived batch of Valkyries and Burning Sky Birds."

The woman in the red combat uniform frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally sighed and said, "Okay..." and then emphasized, "But you must follow me and cannot act without authorization."
