Chapter 224 Tactics Modifications
“How is the ammunition stock?” Julius asked immediately after Nadia came over.
Nadia didn't have to count at all, the information about how much ammunition was left was clear in her mind.
"It's enough, but there are not many flame bombs left, and the number of penetrating bombs is still sufficient, and the shotguns and armor-piercing grenades haven't been used yet."
“Well, let’s not go back to the camp. We will rest on the spot and continue hunting in twenty minutes.”
Several of them are veterans and know exactly what to do when. They prepare themselves in an orderly manner, sharpening knives, eating, adjusting armor straps, and sorting ammunition.
Seeing that the two companions and the pork chop were almost ready, Julius said: "Let's adjust our tactics for the last hunting of the beetle."
In fact, this is the main reason why Julius announced a temporary retreat—tactical adjustment.
“The pheromone-controlled Thor Beetles are harder to stop than we originally expected, and once they are combined, we will become very passive.”
The "passive" in Julius's words refers less to the combat level, and more to the fact that the heavy beetles use the piercing beetles as portable food.
It doesn't matter if their goal is just to hunt. The heavy beetles can also speed up the process of hunting the beetles, but the main purpose of their trip is to collect the sharp horns of the beetles.
The corpses have been chewed up, so what else is left to collect?
“So I plan to focus on preventing the two from merging, on the side of the heavy beetle.”
Julius looked at Pig Chop and said, "Pork Chop, you did a good job before. Look at the right moment and continue to use the flash bomb. Don't be afraid of failure. The heavy beetle just might have been lucky."
“I understand, meow!”
“Nadia and I deal with the heavy beetles together, always ready to use armor-piercing grenades and shotguns at close range to interrupt the heavy beetles when they release their pheromones.
I'm not sure if this is useful, but considering that the heavy beetles are likely to control the beetles by increasing the concentration of pheromones in the air, it should be of positive significance. "
“Understand, understand.”
“Gordon you”
“I deal with the beetle alone and kill it as quickly as possible, right.”
“That’s right.”
"Does Pork Chop have a trap? It's best to use a paralysis trap. I'm not sure how effective the hole trap will be against the flying beetles." Gordon looked at Pork Chop.
“There’s a meow!” Pig Chop took out a paralysis trap from the small bucket where props were stored behind him and handed it to Gordon.
“Why didn’t I think of using a trap before?” Julius held his forehead with some blame.
“I’m not sure about the effect of the trap yet. I can only say that if I try it, the guy will almost never land, which is really troublesome.”
“Okay, are you all ready? Let’s kill the last beetle.”
The hunters quietly returned to the area where they fought before.
After double confirmation from Nadia's scope and pig's nose, the heavy beetle has left and there are no other monsters nearby.
Gordon and the others immediately started stripping the beetle carcasses on the ground.
In the middle of the expropriation, they couldn't help but feel lucky.
After the beetle dies, the corrosive liquid stored in special glands in its abdomen flows out, which greatly accelerates the decay of the beetle's body.
Had it been later, perhaps the sharp corners would not have been collected from these two corpses.
Counting yesterday's beetle, we have collected three sharp corners during this trip. Although there is still a gap from the five originally expected, a few people at least have confidence.
The effect of the dye ball clearly marked the direction and distance of the heavy beetle for the hunters, and they began to pursue it.
Appearing together, there was also a thru beetle flying slowly around the heavy beetle.
The distance between the two is somewhat close.
Gordon thought for a while, took out the only flash bomb in his prop bag, shook it and showed it to Julius and the others.
The companions immediately understood what he meant.
Gordon is ready to create chaos and open up the situation with flash bangs.
There are actually more variables in doing this, but there is no better way at the moment, so Julius made an "action" gesture.
The three of them approached as silently as possible. When they came near the two beetles, Gordon suddenly stood up and threw a flash bomb.
His sudden appearance attracted the attention of the Heavy Beetle and the Thor Beetle at the same time. The strong light burst out at this moment, just covering them both.
“Zizzizi!”
“Hiss—!”
The Thor Beetle and the Heavy Beetle hissed, and the three of them and the cat rushed out at the same time, getting close to their opponents.
Gordon ignored it and immediately began to prepare the True Charged Slash when he came to Toru Beetle. He hoped to chop out the True Charged Slash before Toru Beetle recovered from the chaos.
Julius and the others came to the heavy beetle and launched an attack on the side away from Gordon and the beetle.
—They need to lure the heavy beetle away, so that this big guy will interfere with Gordon's hunting of the piercing beetle.
Deprived of its vision, the heavy beetle fell into chaos and reflexively launched a counterattack in the direction of the attack. It first pushed its forelimbs sideways and pushed forward a certain distance, then raised its full moon tail and poked randomly.
The distance between the heavy beetle and the thorough beetle was widened, and the battle was initially successful.
Gordon, who was not disturbed, successfully released the True Charged Slash, giving Toru Beetle a hard blow.
This time, he did not choose the most vulnerable abdominal part of the beetle as the attack position, but aimed at the wings of the beetle.
If you can successfully eliminate the beetle's ability to fly, it will be easy to cook whatever you want in the future.
The exploding knife Kai fell heavily and successfully chopped off one of the two pairs of wings of the Toru Beetle. The Toru Beetle let out a sharp hiss.
Gordon thought that this would make the beetle lose its ability to fly, but the reality was much more difficult than he expected.
The Thor Beetle can lift a heavy beetle weighing hundreds of tons with its four wings, and the "output" of each wing is astonishingly large.
Just slightly adjusted the speed of flapping its wings, the three wings can still fully meet its flight needs.
Rolling to avoid the scythe-legged swing of the Thor Beetle, Gordon turned around and ran - inspired by his previous success in luring the Heavy Beetle into the wall.
It is indeed risky to use this trick on heavy beetles with broad bodies, but it is perfect for dealing with full-bodied beetles.
As long as you are prepared, it is not difficult to avoid the straight-line collision of the beetle, not to mention that this guy has a broken wing, so the flight flexibility cannot be completely affected.
Facing the hunter who turned around and "escaped", the beetle flattened its body out of habit, its wings vibrated at high speed, and began to accelerate for a straight-line collision.
At this time, Gordon had arrived in front of a huge rock, turned around and stared at the beetle, getting ready.
When the Thor Beetle flew within ten meters, he rolled to the side decisively and steadily avoided this powerful blow, but his flexibility was quite worrisome.
The beetle had no time to react. The sharp insect horns were like arrows shot into an arrow target, and they penetrated deeply into the rock. It was difficult to break free for a while.
Gordon really wanted to give its wings another blow to see if this guy could still fly after losing all the wings on one side.
Unfortunately, the strong wind caused by the high-speed trembling wings made it difficult for him to get close.
In desperation, Gordon had no choice but to do the next best thing, go around behind the beetle, aim at the fat belly of the insect, and start to accumulate strength.
