Chapter 859 Silk and Cocoon

"boom!"

The mechanical wing claws composed of the head of the dragon-smashing gun, huge steel beams, and various mechanical parts and masonry were smashed to the ground, and the head of the dragon-smashing gun was deeply inserted into the ground.

Over the years, pedestrians and vehicles have come and gone, and the ground has been repeatedly compacted, causing cracks in the ground where even weeds could not grow.

The hunters retreated quickly.

The Ge Mantis that controlled the Xucheng moved much slower than usual, but the power of its attack was amplified countless times.

Faced with such an attack, there was no other way to deal with it except dodge. Hayata did not dare to use the air blade to attack head-on. The attack power of the mechanical behemoth's casual blow was far beyond the upper limit of what she could resolve.

.

"Silk threads! Attack the threads connecting parts!" Gordon shouted and reminded.

The mechanical behemoth controlled by Pavilion Mantis is not made of flesh and blood. Even if it takes all its efforts to cut off a leg, it will not have any impact on the movement of the mechanical behemoth. In the blink of an eye, Pavilion Mantis can reassemble a new one.

Cutting off the golden threads connecting various joints and parts is the only way to destroy the city or interfere with the movement of the mechanical behemoth.

Anhil stopped attacking. He rode Gale Wind and walked around the mechanical behemoth at high speed, observing the body structure of the mechanical behemoth and the distribution of the threads.

He discovered that Mantis manipulated the mechanical behemoth in a very subtle way, far better than those circus buskers who manipulated puppet shows.

This mechanical behemoth is not crudely stacked. The movable joints and other parts use a large number of force-reducing levers, pulleys, etc., so that Mantis can move this 10,000-ton machine with only a small amount of effort.

Behemoth.

It may not understand the physical principles involved, but it is born to use it this way, just like a bee can build the most perfect hexagonal hive without learning or measuring tools.

Nearly two years ago, when they first met Pavilion Mantis, Gordon and Pork Chop fought with Xucheng.

They discovered at that time that the body of the Pavilion Mantis was hidden in a giant cocoon made of golden silk threads, which was its "control room".

What Ancier was looking for right now was the control room.

Only by finding and defeating the main body of Pavilion Mantis will the mechanical behemoth collapse, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.

Soon, Ancier found the target.

In a depression in the middle of the highly bulging back of the mechanical behemoth, there is a giant golden cocoon about seven or eight meters in diameter.

That is where the main body of Pavilion Mantis lies!

But the location was too high, more than twenty meters above the ground. If the mechanical beast remained motionless, it would not be difficult for the hunters to climb up.

However, the mechanical behemoth kept walking and attacking all the time.

Except for him as a shooter, it is almost impossible for the other two swordsmen companions to reach there.

The direct shooting angle was not easy to find, so Ancier did not rush to attack, but patiently continued to observe. Soon after, he made some new discoveries.

The giant mechanical beast has not just that one golden cocoon, but three, one large, two small, and so on.

In addition to the largest cocoon on the back, where the mantis hides, there are two "small cocoons" about two meters in diameter, located on the back of the mechanical beast's head and lower back, which are not particularly eye-catching.

But if you look closely, you will find that these two smaller golden cocoons are also very critical.

A large number of golden silk threads connected them to the giant cocoon where the Mantis was, and countless strands of silk threads spread out from these two small golden cocoons, spreading to the entire body of the mechanical behemoth.

Silk threads spread out from the golden cocoon on the back of the head, covering the front half of the mechanical behemoth, including its head, wing claws, and relatively small front claws.

The golden cocoon on the back waist is connected to the tail and hind legs of the mechanical beast, which is the rear half of the body.

If you guessed it correctly, these two relatively small golden cocoons are the key hubs for Mantis to control the entire mechanical behemoth.

If it can be destroyed, the mechanical beast's actions will be greatly affected, and it is not impossible to even collapse directly.

Ancil immediately made the gale change direction, passing by the two swordsmen companions who were constantly dodging the attack of the mechanical beast, and loudly told them his findings and judgment.

While Gordon was retreating to dodge, he quickly observed the parts mentioned by Ancil.

It is unrealistic to aim at the giant cocoon at the top where the body of the Pavilion Mantis is hidden from the beginning. You have to do it step by step.

He has some plans.

"Anhil, you and Lifeng attract its attention from the front! Hayata, let's go around to the back and try to cut off the threads that control the hind legs!

When its movement is restricted, we can climb up and get rid of the cocoon on its waist!"

"clear."

"Okay, Gale, harass and attack!"

Anhil jumped from Gale, gave the latter an attack command, and then ran towards the mechanical behemoth while quickly switching the type of magazine.

"boom!"

A giant foot stepped towards him. After he avoided the attack by sliding, he immediately pulled the trigger continuously.

This time he used shotguns, so there was no need to aim. Large pieces of tiny pieces flew towards the mechanical behemoth like rain, splashing countless sparks on the masonry and metal parts.

To the mechanical behemoth, the damage caused by such an attack is completely meaningless. Not to mention two or three shotguns, even the continuous shooting of thirty or three hundred shotguns is neither painful nor itchy.

But the noise caused by the shotgun was loud enough.

The Mantis, which wraps itself in a giant cocoon, cannot determine the location of its enemies through sight. It relies on vibrations as its senses.

Just like a spider entrenched in the center of a spider web, the Mantis senses the enemy's movements through the slight tremors of silkworm threads all over the mechanical behemoth's body.

Those crackling shrapnel seriously disrupted its judgment of the hunters' footsteps.

Gordon Hayata took this opportunity, stepped lightly, and circled behind the mechanical behemoth.

Ancil and Liefeng continued to "escape" in front of the mechanical behemoth, while continuing to make some movement and noise to attract the attention of Ge Mantis.

The two Gordons circled around to the mechanical behemoth's back legs and immediately launched an attack.

A large number of golden silk threads are wrapped in layers on the ankles and toes of the mechanical behemoth. These threads not only play the role of fixing parts, but also are the "transmission devices" that drive the movements of various parts of the mechanical behemoth's body.

The purpose of Gordon and the others is to cut off these threads and interfere with the movement of the mechanical behemoth.

Visually observing the range and speed of the mechanical behemoth's steps, Gordon directly entered a strong charging posture.

After a short period of energy accumulation, he took a long stride to adjust his position, and swung the [Divine Might] sword towards the part where the mechanical behemoth's footsteps were most concentrated.

Charge forward and slash with force!

"Bang!" Sparks sputtered amidst the dull clanging sound.

The powerful reaction force caused Gordon's arm to ache and numb.

What he was cutting was not flesh and blood, but thick and hard masonry and metal. The lack of a flick knife was the result of him adjusting the way he exerted force as much as possible.

[Divine Power] The claw-shaped blade of the great sword cut through those golden threads like a sickle, but the effect was not ideal.

The toughness and cutting resistance of these threads are so strong that it is incredible, and not a few were broken with this sword strike.

The scale powder shaken off from the dark red sword triggered a series of small-scale explosions on the golden threads. Unfortunately, this level of explosion could not cause obvious damage to those golden threads. (Explosion attribute)

On the contrary, it caused additional vibrations, attracting Ge Mantis's attention and counterattack.

The giant tail composed of machinery and masonry swept towards him like a wall.
