Later generations of scientists have discussed and dissected the corpses of dead dragon insects, and determined that the main genes of this thing come from rock centipedes, iron beetles, blade mother insects, and finally the Lithosaurus at the top of the food chain in New Yumen.
.
Then the question arises, the bug dragon has appeared. Where has the gravel dragon that was used as a genetic blueprint gone? Was it eaten directly by the zerg? This is not in line with the zerg's usual pragmatism, no waste, and energy conservation.
Efficient style. If it is just for eating to replenish energy and protein, there are other animals, but the body of a powerful "phantom beast" is not always available.
Now, it appears!
...Although it shouldn't want to.
Yu Lian guessed that the thing should have gotten into the sky early, so high that no one could notice it with the naked eye, and then jumped down directly on the trajectory of free fall. It was obviously a huge thing with a body of more than ten meters long, open
It has huge wings, but when it swoops down, it suppresses the sound even lower than that of a mosquito.
In a sense, those dragon worms and springtail terrors on the ground are just cover. It is the real killer.
The appearance of this monster is naturally very majestic. To put it elegantly, it looks like a dragon without a neck - the kind of Western fantasy; to put it harshly, it looks like a large bat with an extra tail. In common language,
Everyone calls this thing the "Gravel Dragon" because not only can it fly, it can fly without a trace or sound, and it can also hide in the gravel, lying in wait for several days without eating or drinking, until it encounters
Before the human colonists came here, they were the overlords of the planet and had no natural enemies. They dared to attack even large-scale sand settlements.
As for what happens after the human colonists arrive...well, it will naturally not dare to attack large towns and military stations, but it will also dare to attack ordinary travelers, farms and mines with a small number of people.
Ordinary farmers and miners find this thing quite a headache. On the one hand, this monster is really powerful. Even a small, well-equipped army cannot gain much benefit from encountering it. On the other hand, this monster is now under the banner of the Galactic Civilization Council.
List of "Rare Monsters of the Universe" issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. If someone bites your cattle or sheep to death or even bites you to death, they can flap their wings and leave; but if you kill it, it is against the law.
In addition, it is called "dragon" just because humans are accustomed to labeling all large, predatory, and reptile-like things with the word "dragon", but its blood relationship is actually related to those mythical and legendary creatures.
It doesn't matter.
In addition, although it is not a mythical and legendary creature, since it has the word "phantom", it is naturally magical.
For example, this unscientific body shape can actually fly.
For another example, such a huge body soaring in the air does not make any sound.
For another example, since it is a "phantom beast", it actually has psychic-like abilities.
"Yina, eye..." Yu Lian shouted towards the gun emplacement opposite, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the sergeant major had already opened fire. A large ball of machine gun bullets went towards the dragon's head!
Then, I saw a vortex of air spread out in front of the guy. In an instant, all the bullets were involved in it. After a while, they bounced back directly, hitting several unlucky guys on the city wall on the spot.
It fell, causing a lot of wailing and screaming.
Of course, when the cannonball is bounced back, its kinetic energy is naturally greatly reduced, and its power is not fatal, but it is a 20mm high-carbon steel pillar after all! Even if it just hits a person, it is fatal enough.
Gravel Dragon does have the ability to deploy a psychic stance, resisting or even rebounding most kinetic energy weapons.
It is also very simple to kill it. First, use high-power energy weapons. Second, use high-explosive weapons. Third, use very powerful kinetic energy weapons.
...However, aren’t we the cricket’s police force? Aren’t we none of the above?
Is it necessary to use the fourth type? Just as this thought flashed through Yu Lian's mind, the huge flying beast had already flown to a height of less than a few meters away from the city wall, and then... went straight towards him.<
/p>
How much hatred? This thought flashed through Yu Lian's mind, and then he jumped off the turret dragging half of the nanomachines and half of his body, but he still remembered to give the opponent a psychic shock that he had just realized.<
/p>
For sensitive people who have not opened the star ring, even if they can occasionally use basic psychic combat skills, it is still a metaphysics that sometimes works but does not work. But Yu Lian is different, he is possessed by a twenty-year-old young boy.
A handful of old fried dough sticks.
Pia! Gravel Dragon probably didn't expect to hide this. His figure slowed down a little, but his killing action did not weaken at all. He still hit the turret directly with a "boom". The steel mechanical building structure
They collapsed instantly like building blocks. Fortunately, Yu Lian had already rolled away before that.
He picked up a gun from the ground, only to find that there was a broken arm hanging on the handle of the gun. He then looked at the original address of the turret that had completely collapsed and was twisted into a ball of rubble and steel bars. He sighed in his heart, but in his hand
There was no hesitation in his movements, and he fired a shuttle of bullets at the bat wings behind the Gravel Dragon.
The Gravel Dragon cannot launch its own defensive position around the clock, otherwise it would not be a "phantom beast" but a "divine beast"; however, the power of a broken gun like the C10 cannot penetrate its back at all.
and wings, only a small amount of sparks splashed on the thick carapace.
However, the bat membranes on both wings were hit by several shots, which somewhat affected the flight trajectory of the Lithosaurus. It vibrated its wings subconsciously a few times, causing the whole body to climb suddenly, and passed directly in front of the turret where Ina was located——
If it hadn't climbed up in this instant, it would have really been knocked over.
The sergeant major who escaped did not seem to be frightened, and continued to shoot. The shells formed an astonishingly powerful fire whip, hitting the back of the dragon fiercely, and one of them actually pried it off accurately.
Part of the scales on its back were opened, bringing up a cloud of brown blood plasma. It lost its balance for an instant, twisted its body, and hit the barbed wire on the edge of the city wall in a slightly clumsy manner. However, it was stunned again.
It suddenly slid down from the smooth iron wall panel. Its body structure was not suitable for crawling on the stony ground. It couldn't stand up for a while, and it looked very embarrassed.
A few brave soldiers took a few steps closer, holding rifles and unleashing a burst of firepower.
After all, the Lithosaurus is a wild animal. In theory, it should be part of the way animals seek advantages and avoid harm. If it were in normal times, it would have considered retreating after suffering such a trauma. However, this ferocious behemoth not only did not escape, but even
He didn't even hum, but just raised his head indifferently, like a tough guy who had suffered countless wounds but still fought bravely to kill the enemy. He was so cool.
The approaching soldiers changed their muzzles and prepared to attack the head.
Yu Lian couldn't help shouting: "Spread out! Spread out! You idiots!"
What are you doing standing in a ball? Do you want to eat hot pot? Do you want to keep warm? Do you want to stir sticks?
The soldiers probably didn't hear it and didn't even move a step. However, before they could pull the trigger, the Lithosaurus opened its mouth. Its sharp teeth were like two gates. After opening, it roared out.
What came out was a particularly bright ball of light, which crashed into the center of the crowd with a "whoosh" and turned into a dazzling ball of light with a "boom", covering a five-meter radius as if it was included in a fiery explosion.
.
The three soldiers were completely devoured, and their corpses were already in disfigured shape. The two standing on the outermost periphery were thrown several meters away, and their bodies were slightly deformed. Even if they were not dead, they must be disabled.
This is another kind of psychic talent of Gravel Dragon. It spits out a ball of energy-charged explosion, which is sure to kill even a lighter armored vehicle or even an airship with one hit. Its power is comparable to that of small and medium-sized power.
It is comparable to the phase wave cannon. This ability is even more obvious in the evolved form of the insect dragon, the air guard insect, which has become one of the most powerful air-to-ground suppression units of the insect swarm.
But the question is, if the positions of these soldiers were not so amateurish, at least there wouldn't be so many casualties, right?
Yu Lian sighed silently. He missed the Phalanx in his hometown very much. If he and Ina were operating that thing, the super big bat would not be able to get down at all. Even the gunpowder weapons would not be able to fire faster at this time.
Rurenyi's railgun is more suitable for close defense, and its power is not bad.
"Advanced technology" does not necessarily mean it is easy to use, but it seems that many people just don't understand such a simple question.
He misses the soldiers in his hometown even more - their weapons are very "primitive", at least much more primitive than this big cosmic world with flying starships, but at least they don't stand in a group when fighting. He spent his whole life in
I miss you, I guess I will miss you for a long time in this life.
After Lililong knocked away the few bugs that harassed him, he climbed up with great satisfaction. He wanted to give the soldiers on the wall above a try again, but then he realized that he seemed to have no neck, so he stretched out his arms.
He lifted his wings, flapped hard, and brought up a gust of wind, and then forcibly carried his huge body several meters away from the ground.
It opened its bloody mouth again, aimed at the most densely populated area on the city wall, and let out a silent roar. The dazzling bright light once again gathered in its sharp blades. But at this time, the soldiers were all dumbfounded.
, neither knowing how to counterattack, nor completely forgetting to scatter and dodge.
Naturally, the firepower became sparse.
In the distant wilderness and sky, the remaining Zerg certainly would not miss this opportunity and accelerated their charge.
Yu Lian gritted his teeth, held his breath and slowly pointed the muzzle of the gun at Lilong's eyes, but he couldn't tell whether it would be of any use. Lilong's eyes were very fragile, but that also depends.
Compare it to something!
He pulled the trigger and fired a bunch of bullets. But almost at the same moment, there was only a duang sound, and Lilong suddenly twitched, as if he was struck by invisible lightning, and the energy in his mouth
Naturally, the cannonball couldn't be spit out. As soon as its wings softened, it fell to the ground again with a "pia" sound.
Yu Lian naturally did not think that it was the power of the broken gun in his hand, but it was clearly the result of the armor plate smashed on the dragon's head. He turned around and saw Sergeant Baka, the bear man, who had not known what had happened.
He rushed to the city gate, let out a roar that was no less than that of a real Kodiak brown bear, and once again picked up a broken steel bar from the ground and threw it like a javelin.
"For the community!"
Lieutenant Mundson, who was carrying a chainsword, passed by Baka, and under the cover of the "Javelin", he launched a thunderous charge. The setting sun formed a halo of light outside his cold mobile armor, and he
Just like those legendary heroic knights who charge against the ferocious dragon, it is already an epic.
