Using ants as the initial genetic template, it gradually grows into a terrifying bug swarm disaster...
(Feel free to comment if you have any good ideas)
...The lava turtle was starting to get anxious.
If my tank can't absorb damage, how can that work?
They were forced to extend their limbs to attack the Zerg.
The plan was to use this method to prevent the harassing Zerg from attacking the fire horses.
However, these lava turtles are not bad at attacking.
Turtles have a rather terrifying bite force.
Not to mention these variants of the lava turtle.
With its enormous mouth open, it can crush the Zerg's exoskeleton armor in one bite.
Another bite could kill a Zergling.
However, Zhao Zian smiled at this moment.
I'm not afraid of you fighting back, I'm afraid of you hiding in that turtle shell, not moving at all.
Immediately order the Zerg to launch a counterattack.
If any lava turtles dare to show themselves nearby, we'll immediately launch a counterattack.
Many lava turtles had barely poked their heads out when a large cleaver slashed their own necks.
The springtails and soldier ants had also been beaten quite badly before.
Each attack resulted in the lava turtle scalding the creature with its intense heat, causing it to scream in pain.
Now I finally have the chance to get revenge.
As the Zerg began to retaliate, the Lava Turtle's casualties also started to increase.
These lava turtles have also started using the tactic of biting once and then retracting back into their shells.
The Zerg players were basically playing whack-a-mole; they'd attack whichever of the turtles peeked out and stop when they retreated...
However, many lava turtles had barely poked their heads out when their necks were slashed by the maggots' large cleavers.
Although lava turtles have relatively high skin defense, and a single blow may not be enough to sever their turtle heads, a few hits from a springtail will eventually break them.
The situation is simpler for soldier ants.
It is extremely efficient at killing enemies.
If you bite down on the lava turtle's protruding head or neck, then the lava turtle's head can never be retracted.
With the soldier ant tearing at it relentlessly, and with the help of its companions arriving from the side, the lava turtle will soon be taken down.
Those lava turtles that retreated into their shells didn't fare well either.
Zhao Zian summoned a large number of self-destructing insects.
If a turtle keeps its shell closed and won't come out, just call out to the self-destructing bugs to block the gap in the turtle's shell.
Even if these turtles still don't show their heads, they'll explode!
If the exploding bug weren't so large that it couldn't be inserted through the hole in the turtle's shell...
Zhao Zian wanted to do what he did when blowing up a bunker: stuff the bomb into the turtle shell and blow these guys up.
However, it didn't seem too late. Zhao Zian immediately ordered the nearby Zerg nests to produce smaller-sized suicide bugs.
There's no need for further genetic modification.
Since adult self-destructing bugs are quite large, we can prevent them from growing into adults.
Young self-destructing bugs can also self-destruct, but with less force.
Those self-destructing insect eggs only need to grow to a size slightly larger than a fist.
Once you reach this size, immediately stop eating and maintain that size before heading to the battlefield...
The battles on the ground were incredibly bloody and brutal.
The same applies to battles in the sky.
A large number of eagles are planning to go and aid the friendly race underground.
However, the Zerg also have a large number of air units, including large flying insects and flying parasitic mothers, which firmly blocked the enemy's attack.
The jet-shooting insects in the distance would occasionally target the eagles flying around in the sky.
However, due to the great distance, the hit rate is relatively low.
Fortunately, there were a large number of spray bugs, some of which attacked air units and some of which attacked ground units.
It's perfectly adequate.
Under saturation long-range fire coverage, even with a low hit rate, there is still a chance to hit the enemy.
The corrosive venom might not cause much damage to an eagle in the air.
Corrosive properties are not necessarily enough to penetrate an eagle's skin.
However, feathers and similar materials do not provide such strong defense.
If some of the feathers on these eagles' wings are corroded, their ability to fly will be affected.
Whether moving or maintaining balance, it will be greatly affected.
Some eagles even had their wings corroded so badly that they lost the ability to fly.
It struggled in the air to no avail, and finally landed shakily on the ground.
The plane crashed.
Flying insects also have strong attributes.
In fact, its defense is even stronger than that of these eagles.
After all, the flying insect's body is protected by an exoskeleton armor.
These eagles, however, only have some feathers on their bodies.
In terms of attack power, they are about the same; both the sharp beaks and claws of these eagles can cause great damage.
However, there was a continuous stream of jet-propelled bugs providing long-range fire support from below.
These eagles were having a very tough time.
Faced with the bites of flying insects and the sharp cuts from the exoskeleton along the edges of their wings.
With the defensive capabilities of these wind eagles, you would be injured if you were to accidentally touch them.
It might not be fatal, but even a small injury is enough to render these eagles unable to fly.
As soon as an eagle is injured or its wing is damaged, it falls to the ground.
Then the battlefield on the ground, which is like a meat grinder, will tear them apart in an instant!
After all, the dominance of the air is no longer effective on the ground.
The flying parasitic worms would occasionally burrow into the bodies of these eagles.
At first, you might not think it matters, it's just a prick, right?
The wound was very small, and the bleeding stopped after a while. It wasn't too painful either.
However, after a while, these eagles will suffer great pain, foaming at the mouth, rolling their eyes, and then collapsing to the ground.
When a Flame Horse or Lava Turtle on the ground wants to save a teammate who has fallen.
Then they will receive a big surprise.
Surprise! Mom's hot...
A blood-red worm, resembling a springtail, bursts out of the host's body, carrying with it the host's flesh and blood.
It also grows feathers similar to those of an eagle on its body.
Its movement speed and agility are faster than those of ordinary parasites.
They will immediately attack the enemy in front of them and kill them. Many fire horses are seriously injured by the parasites because they are completely unprepared.
Not all flying parasitic mothers fought in the air.
Some of them were also assisting the Zerg on the ground in surrounding and killing the Flame Horse.
These horse-like magical beasts are quite large, each nearly two meters tall and three or four meters long!
Even if a fire horse is parasitized by a parasite, it might not necessarily be sucked to death.
However, a large amount of blood and flesh from the body is absorbed.
And terrifying insects, gestating from within the body, eventually burst forth.
This feeling is what makes watching Alien so terrifying.
Even watching actors suffer such pain on screen can cause physical discomfort.
Not to mention experiencing it firsthand...
Such a fire horse would essentially lose its fighting ability and would be killed instantly by the parasites that burst out of its body.
The Zerg can be considered relatively merciful in this respect.
Another method is to directly lay two or three parasite eggs inside the Flame Horse's body.
Just two parasite eggs are enough to kill the Flame Horse.
The moment the parasite bursts out of its body, the Flame Horse will no longer have to experience such a terrifying ghost story.
