Chapter 235 Interstellar Era 33
When it crawled a little further, another one also emerged. Slowly, the sand and rocks in other places began to sink, and beetles crawled out one after another.
They all crawled towards Lan Hanlu and the others, and came to the circle of fine sand and gravel where Lan Hanlu and the others came from.
A large group of more than 20 beetles climbed over the fine sand and gravel to the junction, then gathered towards them while gnawing at large chunks of sand and gravel. Perhaps their accumulated metallic smell attracted the insects.
It seemed as if the mouthparts were chewing tofu instead of rocks, and fine sand and gravel fell sparsely. Only then did they realize that the fine sand and gravel they had stepped on were gnawed out by these guys.
I want to laugh when I look at Lan Hanlu. You say they are smart, but they can gnaw out a circle of fine sand in this way, which makes everyone feel weird.
You say they are stupid, but they know that rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, so they keep all the stones around their own burrows.
Everyone watched for a while and found that no one came out again, so they jumped into their own mechas. Several of them started the mechas and immediately went to the place where the Beetle came out.
First, they cut off their way back. After all, according to their investigation, these guys' nests were quite deep in the ground, and it was difficult to find because of its twists and turns.
The rocks on this planet are extremely hard and difficult to dig, otherwise they would not have waited until dusk.
The beetles who heard the noise turned around and headed back. Qiu kicked the beetle closest to him and a machete popped out from the arm of the mecha.
When I cut the connection between the beetle's head and body with a knife, I heard a crackling sound as the knife rubbed against the flesh, which shows how hard this thing is.
But it was obvious that Autumn's attack was effective. The insect made a hissing sound before dying, making everyone dizzy.
This gave the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and attack the mechas. Even the cheapest mechas were made of high-strength materials. Not to mention that their mechas were all custom-made.
But even so, the AI still heard the report. "The mecha's exterior is damaged, to the extent of..." Firstly, the beetles were truly adept at gnawing at metal. Secondly, these beetles were also exceptionally large.
Lying on the ground, they are two meters tall and over three meters long. This is why everyone uses mechas to fight directly, and the interstellar Zerg are always put in a super-sized version. If a real person fights them, they will be no more than a flea crawling on a human body.
The only ones who didn't receive such a counterattack were Qiuji and Lan Hanlu. Qiuji knocked his opponent down in one go, while Lan Hanlu herself had a high defense of psychic ability, so this psychic attack could only slightly blur her out.
After all, his mental strength level has reached level 5 in the past year, and there is no limit to how much his consciousness can be improved. It all depends on how much his body can bear.
This year, she has been practicing physical training and taking medication, and as her physical training level has improved, her mental strength has also improved.
The beetle that Lan Hanlu was fighting was suddenly pierced by the sword in her mecha's hand, in the middle of the beetle's two shells. She chose this place because this is where the beetle makes a hissing sound.
So no matter how much pain this beetle is in, it can only writhe and cannot make any sound, and death is only a matter of time.
Although the other people were dazed for a moment, they had undergone training and had made strategies, so they quickly reacted and controlled the mecha to fight.
The beetle's level is not high, and the mecha can easily kill it in battle, but they have to ensure the integrity of the beetle's shell, so they are somewhat restricted when fighting.
But the strength of these people was not bad, it just took a little longer. By the time Qiu Qiu and Lan Hanlu fought the second one, they had already killed the first one.
Three of the twenty or so beetles escaped, and the rest were killed by them. "Put the mecha away, in case more beetles are attracted and run out, causing trouble." Yu Le said to everyone.
The next step is to remove the shell and then cut it open to see if there is any strange energy.
The person on the other end of the monitor was also commenting on their previous battle. "This team has improved a lot since the beginning of the school year."
"Yes, the level of coordination has also improved. I have always been optimistic about them." After the discussion, they turned to other teams.
"Oh, the chance of these beetles having supernatural energy is too low." Yu Yin continued to search.
"The main reason is that their levels are not high. I didn't expect that the tasks they drew this time were relatively simple." Lan Hanlu continued.
"We are really lucky this time. Although this is a gathering place for beetles, it is not a large group. Otherwise, we would be bitten to death by so many ants." Yun Shanhai helped to remove the shells from the backs of the insects.
"What about your mechas?" Lan Hanlu saw a gray mecha next to her with signs of corrosion on the thigh.
Zhao Wu followed his gaze, his eyes filled with heartache. It was his mecha. "Two parts are corroded, but it doesn't affect its use. I can just repair it when I get back."
"Alas, mine too. This beetle gnaws metal so fast that it took two big bites from it in a moment of distraction." Yu Yin said as he quickened the pace of his hands, as if this was the only way to vent his anger.
Sure enough, the 19 bugs only found one energy source, which was a low level two, and several people could not use it. You know, everyone's physical skills and supernatural powers have improved in the past year.
As the power level increased, the secondary energy source could only be used to supplement it. Fortunately, they were careful during the fight and took 15 pairs of complete shells.
Although this thing was large, it was actually very thin. Putting it together, it barely fit into the mecha's cockpit. They all thought this place was suitable for setting up camp.
There was little vegetation here, so they didn't even make a fire, but they took out something like an emergency light, turned it on and hung it at the door of the tent.
After a brief chat, the few of them divided the work and cooperated with each other. Those who needed to rest rested, and those who needed to work the night shift worked the night shift. They must not let their guard down in the wild.
Although this is an abandoned planet and it is unlikely that high-level Zerg will attack, they will not be able to deal with low-level Zerg if they come in groups.
The night was relatively peaceful, and taking turns to keep watch was not uncomfortable. When we woke up in the morning, we washed up quickly, drank a tube of nutrient solution, and prepared to go to the next place.
"It's so far from here. It will take two days if we hurry." Lan Hanlu said while looking at the electronic map.
"There's no other way. We can't use the mecha to travel as it consumes too many crystals. Fortunately, we have enough time, and everyone needs to be vigilant on the road." Yu Le said as he packed up the tent.
"Don't worry, my physical skills can definitely keep up with everyone now." Lan Hanlu guaranteed with a clenched fist.
"That's right, you forgot that you can't beat Yun Shanhai and Zhao Wu." Qiu said with a smile.
Several people walked away with backpacks on their backs.
