Chapter 679 Donorian Claw Demon
The Claw Demon, also called Donorian Claw Demon, originated from the Donorian Star System.
The body of a claw demon is a fusion of the most extreme hunter elements in nature. It can use muscles and claws to move at incredible speeds. Its claws are made of curved chitin. The tips, each almost as sharp as a single-molecule blade.
?? Equally outstanding are its senses. No matter what the environment, the Claw Demon's multiple eyes can see multiple spectrums, and its huge ears can pick up the smallest sounds.
Even if you don’t take into account its outstanding senses, the claw demon’s fighting strength is very outstanding. This creature can fight its way out of large beasts, kill creatures much larger than itself, and even kill Kill the opponent wearing the best armor.
There are even rumors that, given enough time, the Claw Demon can punch through the bulkheads of a ship.
It is a widely known fact that this creature can detach an adult's head from its shoulders with a simple swipe.
If a normal claw demon is the top predator, then an injured claw demon is the most terrifying killing machine. Although the exact reason is unknown, the claw demon has a A behavioral pattern has been confirmed, which is that when a clawed devil is injured, it will enter a more furious state.
Some alien researchers believe that this is just a physiological response of a creature to protect itself from attack after being injured, but most people do not accept this theory because few other creatures can take this into account. This self-defense behavior has been displayed to this extent. Another theory is that when a claw demon enters a state of hyper-alertness due to injury, it will release a large amount of endorphins, adrenaline and other chemicals into the body's circulation. Activate this horrific massacre mode.
Some studies of its recovered corpses speculate that the creature is actually irritated by the smell of its own blood, which contains a series of pheromones that can irritate itself.
As for why this kind of creature runs everywhere, it has been a mystery for a long time, so various theories have been generated. For example, this kind of creature is transported to animal cages all over the sector. In the process, it happens to be forgotten on various worlds, or it may be that someone can use it to pacify the target planet - use it to kill any native threats, whether they come from intelligent creatures or beasts.
The most widely known thing about the clawed devil is that it plays a very definite role in ecology. No matter where it is, this creature will quickly climb to the top predator position. It will eat anything when hungry, and it will kill or destroy anything that dares to come between it and its chosen prey.
It was not until the Black Templars launched an expedition against the Donorien Sector that the truth was revealed -
The Claw Devil turned out to be a beast raised by the Dark Eldar trainer. , they often follow their masters in and out of the Webway, but their main habitat is the entrance to the Webway in the Donorian system, serving as guardians.
But a long time ago, the main gate of the Webway in the Donorian system was shattered under the pressure of a warp storm. After that, its scattered passages were filled with claw demons, some with sharp claws. The claw demons traveled to other sectors through the webway.
Therefore, the Claw Demon later became associated with the notorious Dark Eldar, and it was no wonder Talos was so nervous.
“Could it be wild?”
If it were in other worlds, Soshyan had reason to suspect that there might be Dark Eldar nearby, but this is an imperial industrial world with thousands of people. meters underground.
Talos shook his head, squatted down, touched the beast's neck, and then suddenly pulled out a string of dark purple lymph with a strong force.
“Valiel has studied this creature, and he found that the captive Claw Demons usually have a unique gland that allows them to receive pheromones unique to the Dark Eldar, thereby Manipulate them, this gland can be inherited, but those in wild populations do not."
"Is there really a Dark Eldar here? What a coincidence, isn't it?"
"I can't tell, just keep walking, just be more careful."
Then, Soshiyang asked Everyone paid extra attention and walked towards the intended direction, which was the depths of the canyon.
When we get deep into the valley bottom, a vague trail appears between the stone pillars, but the fog is also very thick here. As they walked in, they discovered more ruins, destroyed vaulted roofs like broken skulls, moss-covered rubble and debris scattered for miles, submerged in a sea of boiling fog that merged into the distant gray horizon. .
Everyone was shrouded in this suffocating fog. Looking up, there were some huge fragmented sculptures scattered everywhere.
“They are alien statues.”
It didn’t take Talos to say anything, but Soshyan could tell that those statues with slender heads and pointed ears were definitely not human beings.
It can only be said that the Eldar are disgusting!
The statues of the Eldar gods stared silently at something, slowly being swallowed by the darkness. Soshyan looked around and saw the fragments of faith struggling in a slow and desperate struggle against nature.
"There shouldn't be an entrance to the webway here, right?"
With this thought, they continued to move forward and saw the remains of some monumental walls that surrounded this place a long time ago, among which Part of it has collapsed and disappeared into the misty canyon.
He suddenly wanted to see what else was inside, and felt that something was boiling in the air, like the feeling before the rain.
Is this just a trick of the wind? Or climate or air pressure?
“It seems that there was indeed a webway entrance here before.”
Talos pointed to a pile of collapsed ruins in the distance. He could vaguely see that it was a broken arch, and there were still those weird symbols and words on the ruins.
“But it has been destroyed, so you can rest assured.”
“This does not make people feel at ease. Haven’t you discovered more and more secrets here?”
As he was talking, Soshyan suddenly saw a soldier throwing something at the collapsed masonry in front of him.
“That’s——”
It was a grenade, and when it hit the ground and exploded, there was a boom of rubble and a cloud of smoke as a screaming thing jumped out of the shadows, as if the explosion had released them from the ground.
"Enemy Attack!"
Soshyan immediately responded to their appearance with a deafening and stormy blast of bolts, and Talos's bolters also opened fire, targeting the fog. The snarling humanoids lunged at them with fury.
The muzzle flash left a strange shadow on the ruins, and one of the furry giants rushed in. A bomb wiped off its shoulder and threw its right arm back into the fog. .
The horrific wounds did nothing to slow it down. When it collided with the soldier who had thrown the grenade before, it knocked him to the ground.
Then they fought like wild beasts.
More claw demons appear!
