Volume 3 The Chaotic Present Chapter 38 Broken Legs and Broken Heads
Most people have the first impression that they are big and inflexible. With such a first impression, the next inference feels like a slow response. But in fact, this is a wrong perception, after all, there are such strange species as "flexible fat people" in the world.
The big beetle is "fat", and it is true that it is not very flexible. Don't look at its majesty when it charges, but it is difficult to make it change direction during the charge, which is difficult for some strong insects. But its inflexibility is caused by the weight and volume of the body, not by its reactive nerves. In fact, it reacts quite quickly. To control the opening and closing of the two large jaws, it is impossible to react quickly.
Therefore, it is not easy to sneak past the front of the large beetle and attack its limbs.
- If you want to slip away from me, first ask my big jaw if you agree!
Although the large beetle appears to be quite fierce and shows great fighting, these cannot hide that it is still just an instinct-driven bug, but it is a little bigger......
Since it is a bug that follows instinct, then it can deceive and lure the enemy. For example, the rhythmic sound of the assault rifle, the obvious gunfire in the muzzle, and the small sparks that flicker from time to time on the jaw.
The big beetle seemed to know such things as firearms, and after Satsuki held up the assault rifle and started shooting, its bulging compound eyes obviously turned around. It seems that it knows that this weapon has a lot of lethality. In order to resist the bullets fired from the firearm, its two large jaws were stretched forward, like shields in front of the head.
The sturdy jaw is not at all afraid of bullet attacks and is excellent as a shield. However, in this way, the vision of the large beetle is limited. Fang Qiuling lowered his body and rushed towards the slender leg on the left side at the speed of a hundred-meter sprint. Lily then swooped out as well, targeting the slender leg in front of her left.
"Hit it on the front legs! Interrupt one first! ”
"Good!"
Fang Qiuling shouted loudly. As he shouted, he swung the hammer in his hand and smashed it into the joints of the great beetle's feet.
The carapace of the large beetle is very hard, and the limbs are also covered with a thick layer of carapace. However, no matter how hard the carapace is, it cannot completely cover the joint, and the inside of the joint must have soft flesh, and the carapace in a small area around the soft flesh will also be relatively soft, otherwise the joint will not be able to move.
The longsword is mainly used for slashing and stabbing, and the sharp blade is used to cut through the target and then illuminate the damage as the main means of killing. It works best against unarmored targets, and can also exert a good killing effect against lightly armored targets. However, if the target is wearing heavy armor, unless the blade is sharp enough to cut through the heavy armor, and the sharpness level exceeds the defense level in the game, the result of slashing the heavy armor with a long sword is usually either sliding or breaking the sword.
So using a long sword against heavy armor is actually not a very good option. To deal with heavy armor, there is no doubt that the best choice is a blunt weapon, or it is also a good choice to directly replace a special "can opener" such as an armor-piercing cone.
The Warhammer is a standard blunt weapon. The flat end is used to strike, dealing blunt damage; The sharp end can act as an armor-piercing cone, and a hole at a time is not a problem. Warhammer is more effective against the hard carapace of a large beetle than a sword.
Of course, the warhammer lived up to Fang Qiuling's expectations. The sharp end was easily nailed into the carapace of the joint, and with a sharp prie, a fresh large wound appeared. Brown fluid then poured out of the wound.
And Lily, who followed closely, was even more ferocious. Not only did she sprint to her feet, using the explosive power of her jumps to attack, but she also slammed the hammer several times, and only after the charging and gathering power reached a critical point at the same time did she strike. More than five levels of power converged on the flat side of the hammer, and the location where it fell happened to be the weak point of the carapace defense, causing the arrival effect to be described as devastating.
There was only a crunch "click", and the shattered carapace pieces were splashing everywhere, and the brown liquid continued to flow down the bristles on the limbs. The joints of the right forefoot of the large beetle took on an eerie angle, and if nothing else, it was directly broken.
- Broken leg!
Fang Qiuling's favorite action game is a game called "Fierce Man". As an ordinary person, you can flexibly use a variety of weapons to hunt all kinds of large monsters.
In the game "Fierce Man", although the monster is a large individual, it basically has weaknesses. Attacking their weaknesses can effectively weaken their combat effectiveness. For example, some monsters have long tails, which are quite annoying to flick and can be whipped away if you are not careful. And as long as its tail is cut off, it can make most of its tail flicking stunts ineffective.
Of course, it is not only the tail that can be cut, but also the sharp grip that pops out of the hand, the fangs that stick out of the mouth, the dull hair on the top of the head, and the thick thorns that bulge out of the back......
The act of destroying a certain part of the big monster in the game "Fierce Man" can bring additional benefits to the player, and there is a high probability of obtaining rare materials, so players usually enjoy it. For this or bad monster body parts, players also give very vivid abbreviations.
Breaking the head, whether it is bursting the dull hair on the top of the head, or breaking the fangs in the mouth, or blinding one eye, is called "breaking the head". Cutting off the tail, whether it is a dragon's tail or a fish's tail, is called "broken tail". Breaking wings is called "breaking wings".
Undoubtedly, "broken" and "broken" are the most frequent occurrences of abbreviations. Now one of the legs of the big beetle has been broken, and it seems that it can be called "broken foot" or "broken foot". However, considering the momentum, Fang Qiuling decisively called this one: broken leg!
- There is really a bit of a taste of a real "fierce man".
Now that you have a broken leg, can you also have various symptoms after a broken leg? For example...... Unbalance!
Lily's heavy blow directly smashed her foot and limbs, which is undoubtedly a "broken leg". Judging from the twisted joints, this leg break attack will inevitably cause the large beetle's body to tilt. The six support points that were originally evenly distributed are now suddenly missing one, and the body loses its center of gravity when caught off guard, and then causes an imbalance, which should not be too much, right?
In the game of "Fierce Man", imbalance means big hitstun, and it is often the best time to go all out. Whether it's the big sword's charged slash, the true charged slash, the twin swords' flurry, or the dragon cannon with the gun, don't hide it at this time, and greet everything you can beckon!
If you can't seize this opportunity, you will be a qualified "fierce man"!
The body of the big beetle suddenly leaned to the side, and Satsuki, who was shooting continuously, immediately noticed it. As a ranged attacker on the team, she's always on the lookout for opportunities to send bullets directly into the giant beetle's compound eye! With such a big imbalance, the two big jaws that were originally heavily defended immediately deviated from the pair of compound eyes to be protected. Satsuki made a quick decision and pulled the trigger violently. In just a few seconds, a full magazine of bullets sprayed towards the exposed right compound eye.
The sound of the gunfire without a silencer was extremely loud, and the gunfire from the muzzle of the gun was also obliquely visible.
The large beetle's compound eyes have a wide range of angles, and even if it turns its head to look to the right, it still notices the gunfire that lights up when the gun fires a bullet. The two hard jaws swept back in between the shots, blocking most of the bullets. There was a chaotic sound of "dang, dang", and several fire words broke out one after another on the big jaw.
Although the reaction was quick, the beetle was always a little slower. It doesn't have a big head and spins quickly. But no matter how fast you are, you can't pull the trigger faster than your finger, and you can't move faster than a bullet.
Several bullets broke through the front defense of the large jaw, directly blasting the compound eye on the left side of the large beetle.
If the vocal cords of the giant beetle function similarly to that of humans, its screams would surely resound throughout the hospital at this moment. However, it is clear that its vocal cords are not fully functional, and the frequency of the sound it produces is too high, which has exceeded the frequency range of the human ear.
Fang Qiuling sensed the transmission of high-frequency sound waves with a perception much higher than that of ordinary people. However, due to the structure of the human ear, these extremely high-frequency sound waves can only be perceived. It is basically impossible to further distinguish without the help of instruments.
"Satsuki! Well done! "It's clear that you shouldn't scream so loudly if you just break a leg. Fang Qiuling glanced back, then praised Xiao Yue, and then shouted at Lily, "Next, next." You deal directly with the middle leg, and I'll hit the hind leg! ”
"Okay, no problem!"
Bugs shouldn't understand human language, so it's okay to be louder.
Fang Qiuling dodged to avoid the forefoot that was waving indiscriminately, and went straight to the hindfoot.
The big beetle is indeed thick and thick, and it is not very easy to deal with, but it is when it is bitten by the front, and the two large jaws on the front are really difficult to deal with. Judging from the previous attack on the big jaw during the temptation, the regular attack of the Black Iron rank can only slightly break the defense. With Fang Qiuling and Lili's current strength, it can only be said that it is very reluctant to fight the big beetle head-on.
As soon as the large beetles charged from the front, the two large jaws smashed the low wall where they were hiding. This kind of destructive power is almost like a moving tank launching a ramming, and it feels completely unstoppable, and the frontal blocking belongs to the kind of death. So retreating becomes the only option.
How to deal with tanks? The pseudo-military fan Fang Qiuling also knows something about it.
The armor on the left and right sides and behind the tank is usually relatively weak, and it is basically possible to use heavy fire to attack the weak points of the armor. If you don't have enough firepower to deal with the armor, then destroying the tank's tracks first and making the tank immobile is the most preferred.
Fang Qiuling's storage bag was habitually stuffed with a lot of weapons, and there were also a few magic scrolls that could be directly attacked. However, if you want to rely on these things to directly penetrate the carapace of the large beetle, it seems that ...... It's hard to do. Since you can't get this guy directly, let's save the country first and remove its "tracks" first!
Most insects have a characteristic that their feet and limbs are relatively thin. Although I don't know what kind of beetle the big beetle in front of me is, let alone what class it belongs to, I only know that this guy's body after removing the two big jaws is almost the size of a tourist bus. The three pairs of legs that support its body individually look quite thick, but when compared to its fat body, it can still only be said to be slender, very slender, forming a stark contrast.
The assault rifle in Satsuki's hand was not equipped with a silencer, and every shot would have a loud sound and obvious gunfire, which was perfect for attracting the attention of the big beetle. As long as the big beetle was slightly attracted to Xiao Yue, then Fang Qiuling and Lily would have a chance to slip away from the front.
- The first stage of the broken leg operation was successful! Immediately enter the second stage!
Don't look at the big beetle frontally, it's fierce, but its sides of its body are almost "flat", and there seems to be no other way to defend itself except waving its feet and limbs indiscriminately. If you're dealing with enemies that are going around your sides, a quick turn is actually a good option. But now that one of the limbs has been broken, a quick turn is obviously unlikely. And it was originally used to protect the followers on both sides...... Because the boss appeared too slowly, it has been cut down.
According to the general tactical arrangement, tanks rarely act alone, especially when fighting in the streets. There is usually a large number of infantry accompanying the tank, on the one hand, to protect the flank behind the tank, and on the other hand, to act as the "eyes" of the tank.
The big beetles actually have "infantry" with them, that is, the zombies that rush out in the second wave. However, the zombies rushed too fast, and the big beetle was a little slower, causing the tactics that should have been reckless to appear together became a refueling tactic. The zombies that rushed in front were accidentally wiped out, causing the big beetle to be powerful after it appeared, but it lacked the protection of the flanks. Obviously, it belongs to the "step-tan collaboration" and did not do a good job,
The tank can turn the turret, and the machine gun at the top of the turret can also attack the sides, so it can take care of the flanks a little. What about the big beetle? With one of its limbs broken, it would be difficult for it to turn around quickly, let alone break the corpses of the people who smashed its limbs, and it would be a luxury to even drive them away. All I can do now is to wave my feet and limbs on both sides indiscriminately, and make up for it in vain.
Fang Qiuling slammed the war hammer all the way as he ran.
The Warhammer's sharp head is quite capable of piercing armor, leaving a finger-thin hole in the carapace of the large beetle's flank with almost every blow.
However, even after penetrating the carapace, no liquid came out of most of the holes. It seems that it only pierced the carapace, but in fact did not hurt the big beetle itself. The sharp end of the war hammer is about five centimeters, piercing the carapace but not hurting the body, which means that the carapace on the large beetle is more than five centimeters thick.
The five-centimeter-thick shell of the biological cuticle - the armor plate of the tank is no more than that!
Fang Qiuling was speechless in his heart, and at the same time he was thinking: What did this insect eat, and it could grow so big?
