Him and their stars

Later generations of scientists have discussed and dissected the corpses of dead dragon insects, and determined that the main genes of this thing come from rock centipedes, iron beetles, blade mother insects, and finally the Lithosaurus at the top of the food chain in New Yumen. .

Then the problem comes, the insect dragon has appeared. Where did the Lithosaurus that was used as a genetic blueprint go? Were they eaten directly by the zerg? This is not in line with the Zerg Swarm's usual style of being pragmatic, non-wasteful, energy-saving and efficient. If they are just for eating to replenish energy and protein, there are some other animals, but the bodies of powerful "phantom beasts" are not always available.

Now, it appears!

...Although it shouldn't have wanted to.

Yu Lian guessed that the thing should have gotten into the sky early, so high that no one could notice it with the naked eye, and then fell directly to the ground in a free trajectory. It was obviously a huge creature with a body of more than ten meters long, and it spread its huge wings, but when it swooped down, it managed to suppress the sound even lower than that of a mosquito.

In a sense, those dragon worms and springtail terrors on the ground are just cover. It's the real killer.

The appearance of this monster is naturally very powerful. To put it elegantly, it is like a dragon without a neck - the kind of Western fantasy; to put it harshly, it is like a large bat with an extra tail. In common language, everyone calls this thing a "gravel dragon" because it can not only fly, but it can also hide in the gravel and ambush it without eating or drinking. A few days until you find a satisfactory prey. Before the human colonists came here, they were the complete overlords of the planet and had no natural enemies. They dare to attack even large-scale sand people settlements.

As for what happens after the human colonists arrive...well, it will naturally not dare to attack large towns and military stations, but it will also dare to attack ordinary travelers, farms and mines with a small number of people.

Ordinary farmers and miners would find this thing quite a headache. On the one hand, this monster is really powerful. Even a small, well-equipped army would not gain much benefit from encountering it. On the one hand, this monster is now on the list of "Cosmic Rare Fantasy Beasts" issued by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Galactic Civilization Council. If someone bites your cattle or sheep to death or even bites you to death, he can just flap his wings and leave; but if you beat him to death, it is against the law.

In addition, it is called "dragon" just because humans are accustomed to labeling all large, predatory, and reptile-like things with the word "dragon", but its blood relationship is actually related to those mythical and legendary creatures. It doesn't matter.

In addition, although it is not a mythical and legendary creature, since it has the word "phantom", it naturally has something magical about it.

For example, this unscientific body shape can actually fly.

For another example, such a huge body flying in the air makes no sound.

For another example, since it is a "phantom beast", it actually has psychic-like abilities.

"Yina, eyes..." Yu Lian shouted towards the gun emplacement opposite, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Miss Sergeant Major had already opened fire. A large ball of machine gun bullets hit the dragon's head!

Then, all I saw was a vortex of air spread out in front of the guy. In an instant, all the bullets were involved in it. After a while, they bounced back directly, hitting several unlucky guys on the city wall on the spot. It fell, causing a lot of wailing and screaming.

Of course, when the cannonball is bounced back, its kinetic energy is naturally greatly reduced, and its power is not fatal, but it is a 20mm high-carbon steel pillar after all! Even if it just hits someone, it can be fatal.

Gravel Dragon does have the ability to deploy a psychic stance, resisting or even rebounding most kinetic energy weapons.

Killing it is also very simple. First, use high-power energy weapons. Second, use high-explosive weapons. Third, use very powerful kinetic energy weapons.

...However, aren’t we the cricket’s police force? Isn’t it none of the above?

Should we use the fourth type? As soon as this thought flashed through Yu Lian's mind, the huge flying beast had already flown to a height of less than a few meters away from the city wall, and then... straight towards him.

How much hatred? This thought flashed through Yu Lian's mind, and then he jumped off the turret while dragging half of the nanomachines and half of the body in his stomach, but he still remembered to give the opponent a psychic shock that he had just realized.

Even if a sensitive person who has not opened the star ring can occasionally use basic psychic combat skills, it is still a metaphysics that sometimes works but does not work. But Yu Lian is different. He is an old man possessing the body of a twenty-year-old boy.

Pia! Lilith Dragon probably didn't expect to hide this, and his figure slowed down a little, but his killing action did not weaken at all, and he still hit the turret directly with a "bang". The steel and mechanical building structure collapsed instantly like building blocks. Fortunately, before that, Yu Lian had already gone far away.

He picked up a gun from the ground, only to find that there was a broken arm hanging on the handle of the gun. He then looked at the original location of the turret that had completely collapsed and was twisted into a ball of rubble and steel bars. He sighed in his heart, but in his hand There was no hesitation in his movements, and he fired a shuttle of bullets at the bat wings behind Li Long.

The Gravel Dragon cannot launch its own defensive position around the clock, otherwise it would not be a "phantom beast" but a "divine beast"; however, the power of a broken gun like the C10 cannot penetrate its back at all. and wings, only a small amount of sparks splashed on the thick carapace.

However, the bat membranes on both wings were hit several times, which somewhat affected the flight trajectory of the Lithosaurus. It subconsciously vibrated its wings several times, causing its entire body to climb suddenly, passing directly in front of the turret where Ina was located - if it hadn't climbed this time, it would have really been knocked over.

The sergeant major who escaped did not seem to be frightened and continued to shoot. The cannonballs formed an astonishingly powerful fire whip, hitting the Lidosaur's back violently. One of them actually accurately pried off part of the scales on its back, bringing up a ball of brown blood plasma foam. It lost its balance for an instant, twisted its body, and hit the barbed wire on the edge of the city wall in a slightly clumsy manner. However, it suddenly slipped from the smooth iron wall panel. Its body structure was not suitable for crawling on the stony ground. It was unable to stand up for a while and looked very embarrassed.

A few brave soldiers took a few steps closer, holding rifles and unleashing a burst of firepower.

After all, Lithosaurus is a wild animal, and in theory it should be part of the way animals seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If it were normal times, he would have been thinking about retreating after receiving such trauma. However, not only did this ferocious behemoth not run away, it didn't even hum. Instead, it just raised its head indifferently, like a tough guy who had suffered countless wounds but still fought bravely to kill the enemy. He was so cool.

The approaching soldiers changed their muzzles and prepared to attack the head.

Yu Lian couldn't help shouting: "Spread out! Spread out! You idiots!"

What are you doing standing in a group? Want to eat hot pot? To keep warm? Shit stirrer?

The soldiers probably didn't hear him and didn't even move. However, before they could pull the trigger, the Lithosaurus opened its big mouth. Its sharp blade-like teeth were like two gates. After opening, what roared out was a particularly bright ball of light, "Whoosh!" "With a sound, it crashed into the center of the crowd, and with a "boom", it turned into a dazzling light ball, covering a five-meter radius as if it was included in the fiery explosion impact.

The three soldiers were completely devoured, and their corpses were already in disfigured shape. The two people standing on the outermost edge were thrown several meters away. Their bodies were a little deformed. Even if they were not dead, they must be disabled.

This is another psychic talent of the Gravel Dragon. It spits out energy-charged explosions of light balls, which are sure to kill even lighter armored vehicles or even airships with one hit. Its power is comparable to that of small and medium-power phase wave cannons. This ability was even more evident in the later evolution of the insect dragon, the air guard insect, which became one of the most powerful air-to-ground suppression units of the insect swarm.

But the problem is, if the positions of these soldiers were not so amateurish, at least there wouldn't be so many casualties, right?

Yu Lian sighed silently. He missed the Phalanx in his hometown very much. If he and Ina were operating that thing, the super big bat would not be able to get down at all. Even a gunpowder weapon is more suitable for close defense than a rail gun with an unsatisfactory rate of fire at this time, and its power is not bad.

"Advanced technology" does not necessarily mean it is easy to use, but it seems that many people just don't understand such a simple question.

He misses the soldiers in his hometown even more - their weapons are very "primitive", at least much more primitive than this big cosmic world where starships are flying all over the sky, but at least they don't stand in a group when fighting. He has missed her all his life, and he will probably miss it for a long time in this life.

After Lililong knocked away the few bugs that were harassing him, he climbed up with great satisfaction. He wanted to give the soldiers on the wall above a try again, but then he realized that he seemed to have no neck, so he stretched out his arms. He took out his wings, flapped hard, and brought up a gust of wind, and then forcibly carried his huge body several meters away from the ground.

It opened its bloody mouth again, aimed at the most crowded place on the city wall, and let out a silent roar. The dazzling snowy light once again gathered in its sharp blade teeth. But at this time, the soldiers were all dumbfounded. They didn't know how to fight back, and they completely forgot to scatter and avoid.

Naturally, the firepower became sparse.

In the distant wilderness and sky, the remaining Zerg certainly would not miss this opportunity and accelerated their charge.

Yu Lian gritted his teeth, held his breath and slowly pointed the muzzle of the gun into Lilong's eyes, but he couldn't tell whether it was of any use. Lithosaurus's eyes are very fragile, but it also depends on what they are compared to!

He pulled the trigger and fired a hail of bullets. But almost at the same moment, there was only a duang sound, and Lilong suddenly twitched, as if he had been hit by an invisible lightning strike, and naturally he could not spit out the energy shell in his mouth. As soon as its wings softened, it fell to the ground again with a squeaking sound.

Naturally, Yu Lian didn't think it was the power of the broken gun in his hand. It was clearly the result of the armor plate that hit the dragon's head. He turned around and saw Sergeant Baka, the bear man, rushing to the city gate at some point. He let out a roar that was comparable to that of a real Kodiak brown bear, and fucked him from the ground again. He picked up a broken steel bar and threw it like a javelin.

"For the community!"

Lieutenant Mundson, carrying a chainsword, passed by Baca, and under the cover of the "javelin", launched a thunderous charge. The setting sun formed a halo of light outside his cold mobile armor. He was like one of those legendary heroic knights who charged against the ferocious dragon. He was already an epic figure.

...an epic of the cold weapon era.
