"It's such a big beetle, with such thick claws, it should be very powerful to be able to run after the beastmen. ”

"Like, it looks terrifying, is this a monster?" asked one of the nobles.

The guard shook his head and said: "It's not a demonic beast, we have checked, there is no trace of the existence of elements in their bodies, and the element content does not reach the level of a demonic beast, it seems that it should be just an ordinary beast." However, this beetle is organized, they are able to obey orders very well, and therefore are not ordinary beasts. ”

The Governor's face changed slightly: "Organized bugs? ”

Many nobles also have a haze in their hearts, because organized insects have always been very troublesome. Being able to run after the berserkers shows that the combat power of these things is even more troublesome than the berserkers.

It turns out that in the original territory of the berserkers, there are still such troublesome insect creatures.

"How much is this?" Chi Nan suddenly asked. In the face of Chi Nan's questioning, they didn't dare to slack off.

The guard hurriedly said: "I heard from that over there, this kind of beetle appeared two or three hundred at a time, and I don't know more about it." Because these beetles are so ferocious, their own kind will eat their corpses when they die. So in the end, very few were snatched, and this time we only brought back five, and if we wanted more, we had to go to the fortress. ”

Cannibalism, this is not something that ordinary creatures can do. Creatures that can eat the same kind are not ordinary species. Moreover, Chi Nan always felt that this thing was a little special.

Thinking of this, Chi Nan said, "Your Excellency Governor, can you give me one." ”

The Governor was a little strange: "Baron Chinan, what do you want this thing for? This is not the corpse of a demonic beast, it is worthless." ”

Chi Nan nodded lightly: "Just study it, the hard shell of this thing is so thick, ordinary pea cannons will definitely not be able to deal with it, I want to study and see how to deal with them." After all, we will have to put down roots here in the future, and maybe we will have to face these beetles. ”

Hearing this, many nobles nodded one after another, this is a matter related to their own interests.

Nu Misi also ran over and hugged the governor's arm and shook it gently: "Father, you can agree, this is also something that is good for us." The Governor rolled his eyes.

"Hey, that's an outgoing girl. Okay, you can take this beetle corpse back with you, and hopefully it will bring us a good result. ”

This thing can be killed by brute force, they can't. According to the news from the front, these beetles were also killed by them using a long-range covering strike with a pneumatic cannon, and the pea cannon was useless at all. This also means that once they encounter this thing, their soldiers will be difficult to deal with, and there will be huge losses.

In this case, why not let Chi Nan study it, Chi Nan has brought them a lot of surprises.

"Father, what are you talking about? Nu Mi shook the governor's arm in disbelief, and her face flushed slightly when she looked at Chi Nan. When the other nobles saw this scene, they each thought about their own thoughts.

Chi Nan didn't notice this, his attention was on the beetle. "Thanks, I'll look into it. With a wave of his hand, Chi Nan let his men carry the beetle and left with him.

Nu Misi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw Chi Nan go away, she stomped her foot a little angrily and snorted lightly.

Governor Remas narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "This kid is a half-elf after all, and he is a little different from us humans. Don't worry, there aren't many women who can be worthy of a young earl these days. Hearing this, Numith lowered her head slightly, like a shy lily.

At this moment, Chi Nan let his guards quickly come to his temporary residence with the corpse of this beetle. As soon as he returned, Horn put down the beetle and said, "My lord, it seems that your face has not been very good. ”

Chi Nan nodded with a serious face: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, I always feel that this kind of beetle is a little strange." ”

"Isn't that strange? not a beast. "After all, Horn is only a commoner, and he doesn't know a lot of things.

Chi Nan shook his head: "It looks like a beast, but organized beasts are not simple, and I suspect that something may be controlling them." Now the number of beetles is small, and if there are more, the ability of the insects to reproduce ......"

"Even the beastmen are scared, I'm not sure how strong this thing really is. I even have some doubts that the reason why the beastmen have migrated south in large numbers has something to do with this beetle. ”

Holm looked incredulous: "No, my lord, these beetles have probably lived here for many years, if they really have anything to do with them, then the berserkers would have migrated south long ago." ”

"I hope I'm thinking too much. But anyway, since these beetles have appeared in the fortress, we have to think about how to deal with them in this way. With such a thick shell, the pea cannon is useless. Even if an ordinary shell from an air cannon is not likely to hurt this thing with shrapnel. ”

Chi Nan stroked the hard shell and thought silently in his heart. The hardness and versatility of this hard shell, shrapnel is of no use to this thing at all. Solid shells can kill one in one hit, but they only need to hit head-on.

The impact after the bounce, whether it can be killed, how many can be killed, Chi Nan is really not sure. All of these have to be done after going back to do experiments to study the true hardness of these beetles.

Shells in general are useless, not to mention grapeshot. That kind of grapeshottan is used by itself to deal with a large number of creatures that are not very advanced in defense, and it is still not enough to deal with this kind of beetle.

"Then, there are only two kinds of acid bombs and fire oil bombs left, and I don't know how effective it is. Forget it, go back and test it, if it doesn't work, you have to test it with venom. ”

"Pack up, we're ready to go back. Chi Nan suddenly said to Holm.

Holm hesitated: "But my lord, we have not received an order from the Governor, so it is not good to go back now." ”

Chi Nan patted his head, he had forgotten about this kind of thing in the past few days: "Then let's wait, anyway, we can go back soon after the celebration banquet." Now pack up our things and we'll leave as soon as we get the order. Also, with this beetle loaded, I'm going to take a good look at how difficult this thing really is. ”

Chi Nan always felt a haze in his heart. Even if it's the banquet, I don't know if it's because of the beetle or because of Chi Nan's departure, the popularity of the banquet has dropped quickly.

It didn't take long for the banquet to end, and all the nobles left the venue one by one.
