Chapter 859 Silk and Cocoon
“Boom!”
The mechanical wing claws composed of the head of the dragon-killing gun, a huge steel beam, and a variety of mechanical parts and masonry were smashed to the ground, and the head of the dragon-killing gun was deeply inserted into the ground.
Over the years, pedestrians and vehicles have come and gone, and the ground has been compacted repeatedly. Even the ground where weeds can't grow has been smashed into cracks.
The hunters retreated quickly.
The Ge Mantis, who controls the city, moves much slower than usual, but the power of the attack is 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 beast's casual blow was far beyond the upper limit of what she could resolve. .
"Silk threads! Attack the threads that connect parts!" Gordon shouted to remind him.
The mechanical behemoth controlled by Ge Mantis is not made of flesh and blood. Even if he tries his best to cut off one leg, it will not have any impact on the movement of the mechanical behemoth. In the blink of an eye, Ge Mantis can reassemble a new one.
Cutting off the golden threads connecting various joints and parts is the only way to destroy the market city, or to interfere with the movement of the mechanical behemoth.
Ancier 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 performers 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, but it is born to use it this way, just like a bee that can build the most perfect hexagonal hive without learning or measuring tools.
Nearly two years ago, when they first met Ge Mantis, Gordon and Pig Pork had a fight with Xucheng.
They discovered at that time that the body of the Mantis was hidden in a giant cocoon made of golden silk threads, which was its "control room."
At this time, Anhil was looking for the control room.
Only by finding and defeating the main body of Ge Mantis will the mechanical behemoth collapse, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.
Soon, Anhil found the target.
In the middle of the highly bulging back of the mechanical behemoth, there is a depression hiding a golden cocoon about seven or eight meters in diameter.
That is where the main body of Ge Mantis is!
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 one golden cocoon, but three, one large, two small, and so on.
In addition to the largest one on the back, the giant cocoon for the Mantis to hide, there are also 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 as long as 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.
The silk threads spreading out from the golden cocoon on the back of the head cover the front half of the mechanical behemoth, including the 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 behemoth, 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 actions of the mechanical behemoth will be greatly affected, and even direct collapse is not impossible.
Gordon stepped back to dodge, while quickly observing the parts Ancil mentioned.
It is unrealistic to aim at the giant cocoon at the top where the body of the 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, and after giving the latter an attack command, he ran towards the mechanical behemoth while quickly switching magazine types.
“Boom!”
A giant foot stepped towards him. After he avoided the attack with a shovel, he immediately pulled the trigger continuously.
This time he used shotguns, no need to aim, large pieces of small 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 shotguns was loud enough.
The Mantis, which wraps itself in a giant cocoon, cannot determine the location of its enemy through vision. The sense it relies on is vibration.
Just like a spider entrenched in the center of a spider web, the Mantis senses the movements of its enemies through the slight tremors of silk 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 Gale 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 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.
Gordon and the others' purpose is to cut off these threads and interfere with the movement of the mechanical behemoth.
Visually measuring the amplitude 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.
Hurry up and slash forward!
“Bang!” Sparks sputtered in the dull clanging sound.
The powerful reaction force made Gordon's arm 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.
【神 might】The claw-shaped blade of the great sword cut through the golden threads like a sickle, but the effect was not ideal.
The toughness and cutting resistance of these threads are simply 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 explosions on the golden threads. Unfortunately, explosions of this magnitude were unable to cause obvious damage to the golden threads. (Explosive attribute)
On the contrary, it caused additional vibrations, attracting Mantis's attention and counterattack.
The giant tail composed of machinery and masonry swept towards him like a wall.
