Chapter 859 Silk and Cocoon

“Boom!”

The mechanical claws made of the dragon-striking spear head, huge steel beams, and various messy mechanical parts and bricks smashed to the ground, and the dragon-striking spear head was deeply inserted into the ground.

The ground, which was not even covered with grass due to the repeated tamping of pedestrians and vehicles over the years, was cracked open.

The hunters retreated quickly.

The mantis manipulating the ruins city moved much slower than usual, but the power of the attack was magnified countless times.

Facing such an attack, there was no other way to deal with it except to dodge. Hayata did not dare to use the hard blade to chop it hard. The attack force of the mechanical beast at random was far beyond the upper limit of her ability to resolve.

“Silk thread! Attack the silk threads connecting the parts!” Gordon shouted to remind.

The mechanical beast controlled by the mantis manipulator was not a flesh and blood body. Even if he tried his best to cut off a leg, it would not affect the movement of the mechanical beast at all. In a blink of an eye, the mantis manipulator could reassemble a new one.

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

Ansir stopped attacking, riding on the fierce wind, and swam around the mechanical behemoth at high speed, observing the body structure of the mechanical behemoth and the distribution of those threads.

He found that the way that the mantis manipulated the mechanical behemoth was very delicate, far better than those circus performers who manipulated puppet shows.

This mechanical behemoth was not roughly piled up. The movable joints and other parts used a large number of mechanical principles such as force reduction levers and pulleys, so that the mantis only needed to exert a small part of its strength to move this 10,000-ton mechanical behemoth.

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

Nearly two years ago, when Gordon and Zhuchop first met the mantis, they had fought with the ruins city.

At that time, they found that the mantis's body was hidden in a giant cocoon composed of golden threads, which was its "control room".

Anxier was looking for the control room.

Only by finding and defeating the main body of the mantis can the mechanical beast collapse, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Soon, Anxier found the target.

In the middle of the high ridge of the mechanical beast's back, there was a golden cocoon with a diameter of about seven or eight meters in a depression.

That was where the main body of the mantis was!

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

However, the mechanical beast was walking and attacking non-stop.

Except for him as a shooter, the other two swordsmen companions could hardly reach there.

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

There was not only one golden cocoon on the mechanical beast, but three large and two small ones.

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

But as long as you observe carefully, you will find that these two smaller golden cocoons are also very important.

A large number of golden silk threads connect them to the giant cocoon where the mantis is located, and countless strands of silk threads spread out from these two small golden cocoons and spread to the entire body of the mechanical beast.

The silk threads spread from the golden cocoon at the back of the head cover the front half of the mechanical beast, including the head, wing claws, and relatively small front claws.

The golden cocoon at the back waist connects the tail and hind legs of the mechanical beast, that is, the back half of the body.

If I guess correctly, these two relatively small golden cocoons are the key hubs for the mantis to control the entire mechanical beast.

If they can be destroyed, the movement of the mechanical beast will be greatly affected, and it is not impossible for it to collapse directly.

Ansir immediately drove Liefeng to change direction, passing by the two swordsmen companions who were constantly avoiding the attacks of the mechanical behemoth, and loudly told them his findings and judgments.

Gordon retreated and dodged while quickly observing the parts mentioned by Ansir.

It was unrealistic to aim at the giant cocoon at the highest point, which hid the body of the mantis, from the beginning. We had to do it step by step.

He had some plans.

"Ansir, you and Liefeng attract its attention from the front! Hayata, we go around to the back and try to cut the silk thread that controls the hind legs!

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

"Understood."

"Okay, Liefeng, harassment attack!"

Ansir flipped over and jumped off Liefeng, gave the latter an attack order, and then ran towards the mechanical behemoth, while quickly switching the type of magazine.

"Boom!"

A giant foot stepped towards him, and he slid to avoid the attack and immediately pulled the trigger continuously.

This time he used shotguns, without aiming, large pieces of small pieces swept towards the mechanical beast like rain, splashing countless sparks on the bricks and metal parts.

For the mechanical beast, the damage caused by such an attack is completely meaningless. Not to mention two or three shotguns, even if it is continuous shooting of thirty or three hundred shotguns, it will not hurt.

But the noise made by the shotguns is loud enough.

The mantis wrapped in a giant cocoon cannot judge the enemy's position by sight, it relies on vibration.

Like a spider entrenched in the center of a spider web, the mantis also senses the enemy's movements through the slight vibrations of the silk that covers the body of the mechanical behemoth.

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

Gordon Hayata took this opportunity to slow down his pace and go around behind the mechanical behemoth.

Ansir and Liefeng continued to "escape" in front of the mechanical behemoth, while continuing to make some movements and sounds to attract the mantis' attention.

Gordon and the other two immediately launched an attack after going around the mechanical behemoth's hind legs.

On the ankles and claws of the mechanical behemoth, a large number of golden silk threads were wrapped layer by layer. These silk threads not only played the role of fixing parts, but also served as the "transmission device" that drove the various parts of the mechanical behemoth's body to move.

Gordon and his team's goal was to cut these silk threads and interfere with the mechanical behemoth's movements.

Estimating the amplitude and speed of the mechanical behemoth's steps, Gordon directly entered a strong charging posture.

After a short period of charging, he took a big step to adjust his position and swung the [Shenwei] sword towards the part where the mechanical beast's footsteps were most concentrated.

Strong charging and slashing!

"Bang!" Sparks flew in the dull sound.

The powerful reaction force made Gordon's arm numb.

He was not cutting flesh and blood, but thick and hard bricks and metals. The lack of rebound was the result of his trying his best to adjust the way of exerting force.

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

The toughness and cutting resistance of these silk threads were so strong that it was incredible. Not many of them were broken by this sword.

The scale powder shaken off the dark red sword caused a series of small-scale explosions on the golden silk threads, but unfortunately this level of explosion could not cause obvious damage to the golden silk threads. (Explosive attribute)

Instead, it caused additional vibrations, attracting the attention and counterattack of the mantis.

The huge tail made of machinery and bricks swept towards him like a wall.
