Wind God

The Pterosaur didn't fly very far; it had been injected with venom by at least twelve Spider War-Bug. If it weren't for the few and very thin blood vessels on its wing membranes, which hindered the spread of the toxin, it probably wouldn't have been able to fly at all.

The Pterosaur crashed about ten kilometers from the initial battlefield, not a very far distance. The loud commotion it made shortly after its fall attracted the attention of predators in the vicinity.

Several Pterosaur circled in the sky, while some small predators on the ground stirred restlessly. But before these cautious predators could approach, a huge buzzing sound came from afar, followed by a dark cloud that swept in and sealed off the area.

The Pterosaur must have lost control of its body in mid-air, as it didn't slow down at all when it crashed to the ground. Although its body wasn't completely shattered, most of its bones were broken. Even if it wasn't dead yet, with neurotoxins flowing throughout its body, it probably wouldn't feel any pain.

The Heavy-Armored Soldier Ant had been gripping its ankle tightly was still alive. The Pterosaur, having lost control, fell headfirst, so it was lucky enough to find a cushion to fall with.

Even with the buffer, it was still badly injured, but that's alright, it'll be rebuilt anyway. But before that, it needs to complete its final mission.

Its mandibles are strong and sharp, making them excellent cutting tools. Since leaving the factory, the Heavy-Armored Soldier Ant has served as both a transporter and a cutter.

Now severely injured, it certainly couldn't drag the Pterosaur back whole. But it could cut the Pterosaur in half.

The Flying Bug blocked out the sky, obscuring the vision of the Pterosaur above. The predators on the surrounding ground were also deterred by the buzzing noise and dared not approach.

Despite its enormous size, the Pterosaur was actually quite slender, allowing the Heavy-Armored Soldier Ant to cut through it very quickly.

The Spider War-Bug (modified) have arrived nearby, but haven't shown themselves yet. They're going to transport the Pterosaur back to base after it's been cut up. They're essentially the same auxiliary Transport Bug they used to be, so this is exactly their old job.

Two hours later, the combat troops brought the Pterosaur fragments to Rowan.

Rowan then went into seclusion.

Time flies, and more than fifty days later, the Pterosaur of the Swarm took flight.

It was larger than any Pterosaur Rowan had ever seen, with a wingspan of an astonishing seventeen meters, a widened back, a weight of nearly one ton, and a payload of nearly two tons.

Its massive size isn't suited for aerial combat, although it is quite powerful. Its primary role is long-distance transport. It can carry four hundred Spider War-Bug, thousands of Flying Bug, and even more than ten Heavy-Armored Soldier Ant.

It has a short tail, a slender head, a long and pointed beak, and wings composed of a network of blood vessels, muscles, and a series of parallel actin microfilaments. Its forelimbs have very strong bones and possess robust muscles and tendons, which makes their takeoff method quite unique.

It only needs to crouch down to gather strength, then push off with its forelimbs, push off with its hind legs, and push off again with its forelimbs to take off directly. This catapult takeoff method allows it to take off at a very fast speed despite its large size.

After takeoff, it can cleverly utilize changes in airflow and glide easily without frequently flapping its wings. It can easily climb to altitudes of tens of thousands of meters using updrafts. Moreover, after being equipped with Tail Fat Organ, its endurance is very strong, and it can fly continuously for nearly 20,000 kilometers without a load.

However, since they spend most of their time gliding, their flight speed is relatively slow, less than 150 kilometers per hour. But if they fly at full speed, they can reach 500 kilometers per hour, but this consumes a lot of energy and cannot be sustained.

It can conduct high-altitude reconnaissance and help the Swarm to deploy forces over long distances more quickly. It is the Swarm's air and space mothership, and its code name is -- Wind God.

After Wind God took to the skies, the Swarm finally had a way to deal with the Pterosaur hovering high in the sky.

A few days later, two Wind God took off. Their larger size allowed them to climb to greater heights and look down on the Pterosaur circling below.

These Pterosaur were attracted by the prey laid out by the ground Swarm, but the bait was different this time. On the ground, the Swarm deployed a large number of ground and air forces, keeping a watchful eye on the bait, causing these cautious Pterosaur to only dare to circle around anxiously and cry out.

The calls attracted even more Pterosaur.

But they didn't realize that the threat didn't come from the ground, but from above.

Several unusual insects jumped off the back of the Wind God.

They are over 20 centimeters long, with a thick, smooth ram taking up six or seven centimeters of their head. On either side of their body are a pair of feathered wings, but the size of these wings does not seem to be enough to propel them into flight.

Indeed, these insects appeared top-heavy, yet possessed a peculiar streamlined beauty. Their bodies were covered in a layer of cuticle, making them quite heavy, and their wings could only serve for brief gliding and changing direction.

It has many pores on its abdomen, and inside is a large air sac made from the genes of an archerfish. This fish has a magical high-pressure structure in its head that can compress water and then shoot it out of its mouth to hit insects on aquatic plants, knocking them into the water to eat.

Rowan made some minor modifications, replacing its "bullets" from water bullets with air bullets.

Special insects that use this structure can use it to eject air with varying force from different spiracles on their abdomen to change their body direction.

At this moment, after these insects jumped off the back of the Wind God, they first locked onto their respective targets below with their eyes during the descent. Then, using the spiracles on their abdomens to expel air and with the assistance of their wings, they continuously adjusted their angles.

Then, head down, it flapped its wings violently to accelerate, and once it reached a certain speed, it folded its wings. By this time, the speed was already very fast, and the eyes could hardly keep up with the reaction.

At this point, they will switch their target acquisition system to echolocation, using sound waves to continuously change their angle during the dive and lock onto the target.

When they are only a few hundred meters away from their target, they begin to accelerate at full speed, closing all the spiracles on their ventral sides and adjusting their angle only by making subtle changes to their wings.

At the same time, the high-pressure system operates at full capacity, continuously firing air cannons from the largest vent at the tail end, using the reaction force to continuously accelerate.

At this stage, the insect's speed had reached a certain extreme, and a piercing whistling sound filled the air. The distance of hundreds of meters was covered in an instant, and the gliding Pterosaur was hit as soon as it became aware of the danger.

The insects' unique body structure, with their six- or seven-centimeter-long ramming horns on their heads, came into play. The impact from their immense speed allowed them to pierce through the Pterosaur's body instantly, almost without slowing down, and hurtling towards the ground with a spray of blood.
