Chapter 566: The Thin Line of Life and Death
The Swamp Snapping Turtle is a subspecies of wilderness turtles and a generation of native star beasts. Their appearance has obvious turtle characteristics, but they are far more ferocious than ordinary turtles.
It is said that their ancestors came from swamps, and they have attributes common to swamp underground creatures. They are ferocious, warlike, and highly aggressive.
As for tortoises, Jiang Hui’s thoughts were still on ordinary tortoises like Blue Star. He always thought that tortoises were slower in movement and speed. After all, who has never heard the story of the tortoise and the hare? Heard it. However, her impression of turtles was completely shattered today. It turns out that not all turtles in the world are the same.
For example, this kind of turtle is not as flexible as a reptile on all fours. It is based on a carapace. The huge carapace becomes a hub of activity, driving the head and neck to attack. Ordinary creatures are absolutely unable to resist its bite. Just in case. Its limbs are enlarged and covered with protective spikes, but the coordinated movement of the limbs as a whole appears to be extremely flexible, making it suitable for hunting prey.
The Wall-E driven by Jiang Hui was much taller than it, and it was also a more coordinated and easy-to-move human form. However, it had no advantage against this bulky star beast. It retreated steadily, and even almost missed the path a few times.
She did not dare to leave its front, nor did she dare to attack at will. Because in the opponent's posture of attacking and defending, her attack will be a weakness, and if she doesn't attack, she will die. Apart from dodging, there was no more effective way to avoid it, especially since the Wall-E she was driving was such a fragile thing.
Jiang Hui desperately avoided the attack of the snapping turtle, and everyone in the cabin was also dizzy as she kept turning.
She even heard the sound of them colliding with the barrier wall. Of course, that may also be because she herself also fell and made her brain crackle, accompanied by various uneasy mechanical abnormalities. ring.
To be honest, Wall-E is so unstable that Jiang Hui is really afraid that it will fall apart and fall to pieces all by himself without being bitten by snapping turtles.
"What should we do? Are we going to wait here to die? Who can think of a solution?" Everyone looked at the corner of the window blocking the control area on the other side and said anxiously.
"What can we do? That ghost thing outside must be at least an A-level star beast. Didn't you see it just now? Its teeth can connect us in a row."
"But isn't classmate Jiang an S-class? A-class star beasts... always have a way."
"Do you think she has a way?"
"Hey , be careful when you speak, are you blaming her? If she hadn't come to save us, she wouldn't have encountered this, or we would have died."
"I didn't say anything, I just wanted to know if there was a way..."
"Stop arguing, why are you arguing when everyone is going to die? If we can't help, we'll all be quiet! The big deal... The big deal is everyone. If we die together, we won’t be lonely anymore.”
Jiang Hui really has no choice, because the mental power of an S-level is not the same thing as an A-level star beast. She has no mental power threshold, but she has no advantage in combat power or attack and defense.
But she discovered one thing. This star beast has almost all its attack power and defense power. But it seems to have a very fatal problem, which is also a problem that most swamp creatures have. Jiang Hui found that its eyesight is very bad, or it should be said that it is almost non-existent.
How did Jiang Hui discover it? When her lower body is stable and her legs are on the ground, the opponent can always attack her fiercely, pursue her closely, and always hit the right spot. However, when she performs some jumping movements and leaves the ground with her legs, she does not need to move very fast at all. As long as she temporarily leaves a certain range, the snapping turtle will lose some detection ability and perform a brief search action.
This is a bit abstract, and some people may think that this creature may just not be good at capturing dynamics. But for the former, when her feet touch the ground, the other party can often keep up with her, so how to explain it? It can't be that it can only see the area below the legs...
In fact, to a certain extent, this is true. This turtle's sight range is very limited, and it cannot see anything whether it is day or night. Because its eyes are actually just decorations. Their eyes have long been degraded in the swamp environment, and they don't need them to see things.
It is not so much "seeing" as it is looking at the information transmitted by the thermal image, reading the dynamics of biothermal energy through a special organ in the head. But this kind of thing is limited to a certain range, because the range of movement of its head is limited. Beyond this range, it can only capture prey with the assistance of energy waves.
So does that mean that when she leaves the range of heat transfer, the other party will not be able to accurately target them.
Jiang Hui thought for a while, and boldly flew directly onto the snapping turtle's back while it wasn't paying attention.
“Oh, it seems like it can’t see.”
“What the hell is this thing? Doesn’t it have the same eyesight as ordinary turtles?”
"Oh my god, please, please don't find us, can you? We can stay on its back for the rest of our lives."
Of course it's not that it can't see it, in fact, Wall-E is still within its detection range. But this angle is an absolute blind spot. No matter how ferocious the swamp armored snapping turtle is, its structure is similar to that of most of its species. No matter how long its neck is, it cannot bypass the carapace to bite something on its back.
Jiang Hui controlled the mecha to keep his body as low as possible, and accidentally touched a spike on its back. The relatively hard body was immediately scratched with scratches. The destructive power was shocking.
The armored snapping turtle seemed a little stunned, and did not expect that a prey would be bold enough to climb directly onto its back to "dominate" it.
Although the back is not a sensitive part for creatures like snapping turtles, this kind of "provocation" is enough to anger any creature, and it immediately wants to flick its back to throw off the foreign objects behind it.
But can Jiang Hui make it happen? Having seen how hard and thick the shell of this thing is, Jiang Hui simply doesn't want to fight against it like he did just now. This thing is really not something that she, who controls a D-class mecha, can fight head-on. If she wants to survive, she still has to find other ways.
But Jiang Hui still underestimated the power of the star beast. A-level star beasts already have certain intelligence. It was not at all the ordinary animals she had seen that could be measured by common sense. They had been around for a long time before humans dominated the universe. They had evolved various fighting modes over thousands of years and were able to deal with all kinds of things. different situations.
Just like this now——
Jiang Hui finally found out what the use of knowing the large number of spikes on the opponent's turtle's back was. They were not good-looking anyway.
Um...it really hurts!
