A steel beam covered with insect silk fell in the air and plunged into the ground in front of Mantis, becoming a barrier to block heavy crossbow attacks.
Amidst the clanging sound, the right front claw of the mantis closed inward.
The golden worm threads wrapped in balls slid to the ground as the hook and sickle drooped.
This worm thread mass is made up of fifty or sixty worm threads extending backward, which are gathered and glued together.
The other end of each of them is tied with a piece of the ruins of an ancient city.
Although it looks extremely messy, in Ge Mantis's eyes, the specific shape and purpose of each piece of debris are very clear.
The sharp hook on the left front claw with spikes fell down and fell into the hollow in the middle of the worm silk mass.
As the left forefoot is raised, the lifted worm thread slides backwards and converges with another worm thread on the hook and sickle joint on the left side, superimposing to form a honeycomb-shaped worm thread disc.
Then the left front hook is raised high, and the right front hook moves quickly, using the tip with the curved hook to continuously pull outwards from the worm silk reel.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
With every strong pull, the ruins of the ancient city behind appeared with various shapes of debris, dragged by the huge force of the worm threads, spinning from mid-air.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The huge debris hit the ground and made a loud roar, and Ge Mantis was soon surrounded by the debris.
"The guild believes that Mantis Mantis has extremely high intelligence, but it doesn't seem to be reflected in combat at all."
Pazhi said with some surprise.
Gu Xing raised his right hand high, ready to issue artillery fire instructions at any time, but did not respond.
However, judging from the current combat performance of Pavilion Mantis, it does not look like it is very smart.
Because it appears in the form of a ruined city, not only will its traveling speed be much faster than dragging the wreckage.
Even if you escape the cover of the sandstorm within the shooting range, there is still the possibility of hitting the city wall when being focused on fire.
If assembled on site, as long as there is any sign of the city taking shape, it may collapse directly under a concentrated fire bombardment.
At this time, two black shadows were projected above the city wall.
Gu Xing raised his head and saw that the Hunter and the Eternal were already in position in the air, and his confidence increased again.
On the contrary, they were worried that Tian Hui Long would become the biggest variable in the battle.
Boom! After a rusty metal wall fell to the ground, Mantis suddenly stopped dragging it.
It looked at the worm threads pulled out of the right front hook, tilted its head and began to think.
A moment later, another steel beam hit in front of him.
Squeak! Squeak!
Use the sickle tip of the hook to scrape away the condensed soil on the steel beam.
A series of simple patterns carved with indentations are revealed.
Ge Mantis looked at it carefully for a long time and realized that the graphics were reversed.
Quickly tighten the single worm thread dragging the steel beam.
Whoosh~hoo~bang!
The steel beam rotated rapidly and fell again.
After examining several simple figures, the compound eyes of the mantis flashed purple, and a big light bulb appeared above its head.
He looked very inspired.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Dang!
The hooks and sickles on both sides collide in the forward swing, striking together in an X shape.
In the buzzing sound caused by the collision, the worm threads that were originally stuck together suddenly spread apart as if guided, and then were neatly arranged at extremely small intervals and evenly wrapped around the hook and sickle.
rumble.
At the same time, all the pieces of debris were quickly rolled while being dragged, and assembled with Mantis as the center.
When Gu Xing saw this, he immediately shouted: "Fire!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The city wall artillery started a concentrated fire attack.
Amidst the black smoke, the pieces of debris were constantly shattered by the bombardment, with weathered khaki fragments flying everywhere.
However, the speed at which the wreckage was gathered and formed clearly exceeded the expectations of the city defense forces.
And if a lot of wreckage is shattered, another piece of similar size will immediately be dragged from behind to take its place.
The black smoke caused by the explosion of the artillery shell was intertwined with the yellow dust stirred up by the flying debris.
A thick plume of dark brown smoke rose into the sky.
Right in the center of the smoke and dust, a strange-looking tubular market city was being built at an incredible speed.
Squeak! Squeak!
Several pieces of debris with metal sharp corners smashed into the top of the tubular market city.
Squeak!
As the worm threads gradually tightened, several pieces of crushed metal debris made a teeth-searing sound.
Bang! Squeak!
The wall with steel bars above the tubular market city could not bear the heavy pressure and immediately shattered and dented.
The metal remains were deeply embedded in it, with only a row of huge sharp corners covered with rust exposed.
"Is this the Xucheng? It doesn't feel right."
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, Pazhizhi looked more and more strange.
In the guild's sighting report, the form shown in Xucheng is obviously that of a four-legged land dragon, and its overall appearance is similar to that of Laoshan Dragon.
Although the volume of the current assembly is not small, it is just a long tube-shaped object no matter how you look at it.
"Don't worry about that for now. It not only maintains this form by filling in the wreckage, but also continues to organize and expand. This means that it is well prepared and ready to fight in the city."
Gu Xing said with some anxiety.
The current strange shape of the market city seems to have no mobility at all.
However, in terms of resisting attacks, there is no way to destroy the ruins of the ancient city until all its remains are consumed.
After a short time, the tubular main body, which was continuously reshaped in the gunfire, gradually stabilized, and more wreckage began to follow from the rear.
The newly formed market city at the end, which had not been bombarded by artillery shells, was completely changed beyond recognition, and the obvious paragraph structure was immediately revealed.
Phew~ A huge thick-walled metal frame flew out from the ruins of the ancient city and landed on the front end of the tubular body.
呲~呲~
As the two worm threads on the left and right dragged backwards, the triangular metal frame that quickly moved backwards was buckled at the front of the market city.
"This is a snake!"
Pazhizhi, who had been waiting and watching, finally found out the shape of the market city that Ge Mantis was building.
In the Great Old Hall, the ruined city formed by Vegasha and Zuda's mantises is even more shocking.
Because monsters with this form do exist.
"It's impossible. Only a few people know where Pavilion Mantis found out about that crusade."
Vegasa looked at the cane wrapped with a silver snake in her hand, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"At least this confirms that Pavilion Mantis does have the habit of imitating the appearance of giant monsters to build ruins."
Zuda sighed and said.
"People taught it."
Vegasa gave a shocking inference.
"It is not appropriate to make such inferences now, and it is completely impossible to establish communication with this monster. Three members of the current top team are seriously injured."
Zuda was about to speak but stopped.
"You don't need to tell me, the chief hunter team will also attack, but this means that the team has participated in two contracts, so don't try to get away with it in terms of remuneration."
Vegasa guessed what the other party meant.
"Of course."
Zuda gave a firm guarantee.
On the Yanhuo, the team holding telescopes simultaneously discovered the ruins city in the shape of a giant snake.
"what is that?"
Eudora asked inexplicably.
"Looks a bit like a basilisk?"
Li Fan wasn't too sure.
Because in the original game, Ge Mantis’ market city does not have a similar form.
"What kind of cat is the Snake King?"
Dilu asked puzzledly.
"In short, it is a very scary existence. You don't want to see it."
Li Fan told frankly.
"Well, the snake's head has been raised."
Under Eudora's somewhat astonished reminder.
Li Fan immediately turned his attention back to observation.
Whoosh~ whoosh~
As the threads on the surface of the serpentine market city continue to tighten.
The triangular snake head composed of a thick-walled frame is lifted up by the strip-shaped body in the front section, and the middle and rear sections are spread out in an S-shape.
The whole process was not fast, and the movements seemed to be stiff and slow. During the bombardment, components continued to explode and peel off.
But this giant snake, which was made of debris and tied with worm silk, really started to move.
Ouch!
A sharp roar came from inside the giant snake's head.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the broken and huge tubular body slid forward while swinging.
Every joint and every component of the giant snake is like a complete biological tissue, functioning under the traction of worm threads.
A city defense soldier turned around and picked up the cannonball. When he turned around and was about to load it, he noticed that the giant snake was rushing towards the city gate at a fast speed. He immediately froze in place in horror.
"Hey! Gu Xing! This speed is wrong!"
Pazhi said alertly.
"Stop the bombardment! Stop the heavy crossbow shooting! Hunters who are not participating in the battle directly, evacuate from the city wall immediately!"
After Gu Xing issued the retreat order, he looked at Pazhi and said, "It's easy for you to trigger the dragon gun switch by smashing it, right?"
"Yes!"
"Then the task of opening the dragon gun will be left to you."
"how about you?"
Pazhi asked puzzledly.
"When it comes, I will try to get into the snake's head and attack."
"I understand, although the giant snake in Ruins City is big enough, its real core is actually the Pavilion Mantis. It's a very good method. Wait, why don't I go?"
Pazhi asked puzzledly.
"No time to explain!"
As Gu Xing spoke, two balls of will-o'-the-wisp appeared under the face of the Prajna Ghost.
"Okay. Hey! Stop looking and evacuate quickly!"
Pazhi saw many people in the city defense force looking frightened.
Gu Xing's intentions are probably understandable. After all, at the moment, the only ones that can pose a threat to the giant snake are the two dragon-killing guns placed on the city wall.
If you lose the best opportunity to attack because you are afraid of something going wrong, then the unfavorable situation in front of you will only be more difficult to reverse.
"Lonely Ghost Man, just go and go with peace of mind. If you die, I will collect the body."
Pazhi muttered, running towards the red disk-shaped activation switch.
"Isn't that giant snake made of stone and steel? Why does it move?"
The more Eudora looked at it, the more incredible it became.
"If someone uses flying insect silk to tie all the joints of your body, a similar control effect can be achieved to a certain extent."
Li Fan explained.
The giant snake that was marching through the market city, its body swaying and sliding became smoother and smoother, and its speed gradually increased.
Even though Gu Xing is a top hunter, the more he looks at it, the weirder it becomes.
Its proficiency in controlling giant snakes is improving, and it is also consciously repairing the defects in its joints.
What on earth was it thinking about? And why did it attack Dongdoruma?
Gu Xing shook his head slightly, feeling that now was not the time to explore the mystery.
Behind him, Pazhi stared at the giant snake. After looking at the distance, he swung the horned dragon hammer and smashed it against the disc-shaped dragon gun switch.
In the huge dark circular holes on both sides of the city gate, two high-speed rotating dragon guns shot out.
Bah!
The body of the giant snake Xucheng suddenly moved sideways, the snake's head tilted back sharply, and the snake's tail was thrown forward.
Bang! Bang!
The dragon-shooting gun easily penetrated the snake's tail formed by the wall, but as the worm threads were instantly untied, the snake's tail immediately separated from the tubular body.
Gu Xing did not expect such an operation.
Break away from the slowed-down giant snake, lower your head and face the city wall.
The rusty metal sharp corners that had been embedded in the back began to hit hard.
Boom! Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and the entire city wall trembled violently.
The giant snake with its back embedded in the city wall did not choose to retreat and initiate a second impact, but instead used its metal sharp corners to slide and scrape.
Wow! Wow!
There was a dense sound of earth and rock shattering.
The city wall was dented and shattered due to scraping, until large cracks appeared.
Boom! As a section of the city wall fell backwards, a huge pit appeared on the wall.
Using worm silk to leap to the top of the snake's head, Gu Xing first stabilizes his body and maintains his balance.
Then he slashed three times with the Kotachi sword, and opened a triangular opening in the thick-walled metal frame, looking inside.
There are countless mantises wrapped in straight worm silk on both sides of the hooks, and they are located on the innermost side of the giant snake's head.
When Gu Xing saw this and was about to take action, he saw that the ground, the inner walls of the metal frame and the beams were covered with countless sticky worm threads.
It can release two types of worm threads, one is extremely tough and strong enough to drag the remains of ruins.
One has extremely high viscosity and can be used to lay traps for defense.
Because the space is limited, it is not suitable for fighting at all. All Gu Xing can do is record more information.
At this moment, the claw-like tail of the pavilion mantis suddenly raised.
Puff puff!
Three thick balls of silk thread spurted out from the center of the tail.
Gu Xing hurriedly avoided it, but just as he flew away, he felt his body suddenly falling to the side.
He originally thought he lost his balance due to dodging, but he saw the buildings in the city beside him.
Only then was it confirmed that the giant snake was falling on its side!
After throwing out two worm threads and quickly zooming away, there was only a loud bang behind him.
When I looked back again, I saw that the giant snake's huge head had smashed into the buildings in the city.
Out of control.
I was so surprised by dragging the flying insect in the air to watch.
He quickly recalled every detail, and suddenly thought that there were also a large number of strong worm threads being wrapped and dragged on the claw-like tail of the mantis.
A possibility suddenly occurred to me.
In other words, when the Mantis controls the giant snake, any slight movement on its body will have a great impact on the outside world.
I have to pass this information on.
"Gu Xing, you are very brave."
Hearing the praise, Gu Xing turned his head sharply and was surprised to find that the Flame was hovering behind him.
"Come up quickly, your flying insect won't be able to hold on anymore."
Eudora said as she floated up from the deck, flew out of the bulwark and caught the lone worm thread.
"How about the Steel Dragon?"
As soon as his feet landed on the deck, Gu Xing asked eagerly.
"There was a Xialong appearing nearby, and with the cover of the wind and airflow, it escaped."
