The giant insect's emotions were unusually stable. Facing the soldiers' attacks, it had no reaction at all. It was neither angry nor made any roaring sounds.
Just as everyone was nervously waiting for the results of the battle, the giant insect suddenly made a move.
Its huge forelimbs suddenly propped up the upper part of its body, standing up like a small mountain. At the same time, something seemed to be flowing slowly in its mouthparts, flashing a faint light.
To the giant insect, the soldiers' attacks were no more than tickling. They were completely incapable of causing any substantial harm to it, and it didn't even feel a thing.
As the explosion flames on the giant insect's head and the surrounding dust dissipated, everyone's vision became clear, and they were finally surprised to find that the giant insect had raised the front part of its body, and its mouthparts, which had been flashing red light, were also exposed!
Many soldiers who were close to the giant insect suddenly felt a chill running down their spines and broke out in cold sweats. They realized that this was obviously the pre-swing of the giant insect's skill before releasing its ultimate move!
"Retreat! Run!"
The battalion commander's voice rang out in the crowd. Without any hesitation, he also discovered that something was wrong, and the rockets were ineffective. This was beyond their capabilities. There was no point in attacking at this time, and staying there would only lead to death.
After hearing the battalion commander's order, the soldiers immediately turned around and ran away without looking back.
To them, military orders are as heavy as mountains. Even if they are filled with fear and do not receive clear orders, they will never leave their posts without permission.
However, it was too late.
Even though the battalion commander's decision was very decisive, the giant insect had already quietly launched its ultimate skill before they could see it clearly, and the soldiers closest to the giant insect could not escape its skill range at all.
"Shhh!!!" accompanied by a sharp sound!
The giant insect's upper body suddenly lowered, and its head quickly retracted and stretched outward. The giant insect's huge mouthparts opened to the limit, and a stream of red liquid with a burning breath gushed out from its hideous mouth.
This red liquid, with endless power, shot straight towards two soldiers who were supporting each other and running away about 20 to 30 meters in front of it.
There was obviously a huge pressure contained in the giant insect's mouthparts, causing the ejected liquid to form a straight beam, rapidly approaching the target at an astonishing speed. The drops of hot liquid that fell along the way burned the ground and made it smoke.
At this moment, the battalion commander who was running in the middle suddenly heard the unusual noise. His heart tightened and he hurriedly looked back. However, when he saw the scene in front of him, his face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
"Be careful! Get out of the way!"
The battalion commander shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice standing out in the tense atmosphere. He waved his hands desperately, signaling the two soldiers to get out of the way, while he staggered over to save them.
The two soldiers who were supporting the escapee were originally running forward with full concentration. Suddenly, when they heard the battalion commander's shout, they also saw the battalion commander waving his hand, and their faces changed slightly.
At this moment, they also felt the unusual movement behind them, and a strong heat wave hit them in the face.
The two looked at each other in panic and turned their heads at the same time. Their eyes only had time to catch a glimpse of a dazzling red light, which was about to come before their eyes in an instant.
The soldier who was being supported had a flushed face and bloodshot eyes. He clenched his teeth. Just when the strange red light was about to touch them, he suddenly exploded, using all his strength to push the soldier who was supporting him out!
As soon as he pushed his comrade away, the strange, scorching liquid hit his body, and the liquid instantly engulfed him like a flame.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”
The soldier only had time to let out a shrill scream, the sound pierced people's hearts, and the birds in the forest were so frightened that they flapped their wings and flew out of the jungle without even looking back.
As others watched in horror, the soldier who was hit was quickly swallowed up by the red liquid as if under a spell.
His backpack, military equipment, and clothes began to catch fire.
And his own body was rapidly dissolving at a speed visible to the naked eye under the erosion of this strange liquid!
First, the skin began to melt gradually, like a candle melted by high temperature, revealing the red muscle texture inside.
Then, the muscles and bones could no longer withstand this horrible force and began to melt as well, dripping onto the ground one by one, making a "sizzling" sound.
Everyone watched in horror as the soldier's body melted instantly. In the end, only his two lower legs were left standing there alone.
Under his feet was a pool of steaming liquid, the color of which gradually changed from the initial red to black, and finally solidified into a pool of black substance emitting a foul smell.
The scene was completely silent. Everyone was frightened by the insect attack. This was the first time they had encountered such a strange attack! Such horrible mutated insects!
"Xiaodong!!!"
"You bug! I'm going to fight you!!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!
The soldier who was pushed away fell on the cold ground like a puddle of mud, his body trembling with anger and despair. He stared at the hateful insect with wide eyes and let out a roar of extreme grief and anger from his throat.
He quickly picked up his rifle and started shooting at the bugs wildly without hesitation.
Bullets poured out like raindrops, hitting the insect's hard shell, splashing a string of sparks.
Seeing that the bullets were empty, the soldier threw his rifle aside without hesitation, then drew the dagger from his waist like a hungry wolf, and rushed towards the insect with red eyes, obviously intending to fight it to the death.
At this moment, he had completely lost his mind. Life and death were no longer within his consideration. He only wanted to avenge his comrades!
At this critical moment, the battalion commander and the guards rushed over like the wind.
They were quick to act and grabbed the mad soldier tightly, stopping his suicidal behavior.
"Don't be stupid!"
The battalion commander's voice exploded in the soldier's ears like thunder, "Xiaodong pushed you away because he didn't want you to die. Don't disappoint him and die!"
The soldier's body trembled violently. The battalion commander's words hit his heart like a heavy hammer.
His eyes gradually regained some clarity, and he realized how stupid his behavior just now was.
