Tyrannosaurus and Wild Boar Insect-Beasts, Part 1
The Tyrannosaurus was fast asleep in its nest. For a large creature like it, energy consumption is extremely high. It needs to consume hundreds of kilograms of food every day to maintain its survival.
However, it cannot guarantee that it will catch prey every time it hunts. Therefore, it can eat about one-tenth of its body weight in food at a time for storage.
Then it tries to minimize its activity, burying itself in sleep; even fighting is a luxury for it.
When someone suddenly burst into his room, he reluctantly got up, first letting out a long howl to show off his singing voice. Then he slowly began to pace around, stretching his body.
These guys on the other side are all tiny. If it weren't for their large numbers, it wouldn't even bother with them. Although they're small, it'll take a little effort, but they should be able to get a good meal.
Based on its experience, it had the right to think that way. Even among Tyrannosaurus, its size was considered above average. Moreover, it had been an adult for a long time and had a distinguished record, as evidenced by the huge, crisscrossing scars on its body.
Some of these marks were left by prey resisting, but most were from fights with other apex predators in the vicinity. Two of the most severe marks were from a fight with a similarly large Tyrannosaurus Rex, where the opponent's massive claws slashed across half of the head, leaving three marks. If the opponent's claws hadn't been so large, the eyes would have been gouged out on the spot.
However, it didn't let its opponent get away with it either. When it retaliated, it nearly smashed its opponent's head with its tail, and the opponent eventually fled in a sorry state, indicating that it was more seriously injured.
The second mark was a huge bite mark encircling its entire neck, left from a fight with another of its kind shortly after it came of age. It was nearly killed in that fight; the other animal bit its neck, and the powerful bite caused it to suffocate.
If it hadn't been younger and stronger, and hadn't struggled with all its might to break free and bite its opponent's throat, the outcome would have been uncertain. However, it ultimately won, and its opponent fled in disarray; this territory was left behind by the other.
Rowan didn't care about the Tyrannosaurus's mental journey, nor its scars and achievements. If the opponent had lost a leg or something, he might have paid more attention to it.
Because one of the Tyrannosaurus's thighs must weigh at least a ton, if such a large piece of meat were missing, Rowan would definitely want to see where it went.
Several boar-like insectoids emerged from the Swarm combat force; they were called Anti-Tyrannosaurus Charging Poison-Injecting Beast, specifically designed to deal with large dinosaurs and ferocious beasts.
The easiest way to hunt down these large combat units is naturally by poisoning them.
However, due to their size, they are all very strong, and they inevitably rub against each other in daily life. If their outer skin is not strong, they simply cannot survive.
Therefore, their external defenses are generally quite good, either with a keratinous armor layer or covered with fur or feathers; even simple leather skin provides strong protection.
Due to their size, the Spider War-Bug's stingers cannot penetrate this defense. Moreover, even if they attack vulnerable areas such as the eyes, not only do most of them have eyelids for protection, but even if they do manage to break through, the Spider War-Bug's venom reserves are insufficient to cause fatal damage to these large units.
The Self-Destruct Bug that fight giant pythons have relatively weak external defenses. They are naturally effective against giant pythons, which mainly rely on constriction and swallowing as their fighting methods. However, they are somewhat inadequate against these large, ferocious dinosaurs, as these creatures also possess offensive capabilities such as stomping, tail attacks, and some species have very strong forepaw attacks.
Since the Spider War-Bug' venom reserves were insufficient and they couldn't penetrate the defenses, Rowan focused his efforts on strengthening these two aspects.
In this context, the Wild Boar War-Bug was developed. Based on the wild boar template, it is about 2 meters long and nearly 1 meter tall at the shoulder. It has strong short-range burst power and also has good defense.
In addition, they were given the genes of the Golden-Armored Unicorn Beetle, which gave them a half-meter-long Spiral Ramming Horn on their heads. The horn was hollow inside and connected to a large venom sac at the back of the wild boar's neck.
This ram is essentially a giant syringe, with a sharp, pointed tip. Combined with the short-range burst of impact force from the Wild Boar War-Bug, it's enough to break through the defenses of most dinosaurs and beasts.
This Wild Boar War-Bug was merely a transitional version; Rowan had a better ideal template in mind. He had seen a group of Triceratops on the outskirts of the forest, but only briefly. Because he had no need for them, and because he could hardly harm those large creatures with their shoulder armor, he didn't obtain their genes.
When he needed to use it, the group of Triceratops had disappeared. Rowan searched for them several times but couldn't find them. In the end, he had no choice but to use the wild boar template as a temporary solution.
The battle began, and the Flying Bug Type II, taking advantage of its flight, was the first to engage the Tyrannosaurus, unleashing a barrage of bullets aimed at its eyes. The Tyrannosaurus was helpless against these small aerial creatures and tried to roar intimidate them. But the moment it opened its mouth, it was filled with bullets, the corrosive burning pain causing it to howl in agony. Yet, it dared not open its mouth to cry out, only able to whimper softly, looking utterly aggrieved.
Under the cover of the Flying Bug Type II, the Spider War-Bug quickly moved forward, using their agility to climb onto the Tyrannosaurus's body. Although they couldn't cause any damage, they effectively attracted the Tyrannosaurus's attention.
The Tyrannosaurus shook its head and tail, trying to shake off these annoying little creatures, but the Spider War-Bug's claws and sticky fur were no joke. No matter how the Tyrannosaurus twisted its body, the number of Spider War-Bug on its body only increased.
While the Tyrannosaurus was busy dealing with the harassment, the three Wild Boar Insect-Beast began to move. Their explosive power was truly remarkable; they got off to a very fast start, accelerating to their maximum speed in just a few seconds, and charged headlong towards the Tyrannosaurus.
The Tyrannosaurus was unable to open its eyes due to the harassment from the Flying Bug Type II and the Spider War-Bug. Although it heard the running sound of the Wild Boar Insect-Beast, it did not usually hunt by ear.
In its frantic dodge, its two hind limbs were struck by three Spiral Ramming Horn. The powerful kinetic energy propelled the horns deep into the Tyrannosaurus's body, causing blood to splatter.
Meanwhile, the venom sac in the Wild Boar Insect-Beast's neck began to function. Made of high-strength fiber muscle, the muscular structure instantly tensed, and the powerful squeezing force propelled the venom at an extremely high speed, sending it through a long tube directly into the Tyrannosaurus's body.
Almost simultaneously, the Tyrannosaurus's earth-shattering scream rang out.
Because the ramming horn had penetrated so deeply, the Wild Boar Insect-Beast was stuck and unable to escape for the time being. Although the enraged Tyrannosaurus had already noticed that its body was gradually becoming numb, it was completely oblivious to this due to the excessive secretion of adrenaline.
Unable to deal with the small creature on his body, he took his anger out on the Wild Boar Insect-Beast that was stuck in his leg. The powerful bite instantly tore one of the insects to pieces, and then the second insect suffered the same attack.
The third insectoid beast managed to pull out its Spiral Ramming Horn at the last moment, thus narrowly escaping death.
