After only a few glances at high altitude, Renault deeply felt that "Iron Armor Island" was not actually a proper name, and "Black Iron Island" could describe this island more accurately.

Because it looks dark, there is no vegetation cover in many places, and the black iron ore is directly exposed.

Compared with other islands, the vegetation on Tiejia Island is sparse, with almost no tall trees, only sparse shrubs and weeds.

Obviously, due to the black iron ore, the soil layer on the island is extremely thin and the trees are difficult to survive. Only low shrubs can barely take root here.

The terrain of Tiejia Island is also relatively flat, with no tall mountains visible. Most of the areas are undulating hilly areas, which also makes the living environment of trees worse.

Without the cover of the mountain, a slightly larger storm could uproot all the trees without deep roots.

The Iron Armor Island is called Iron Armor Island because there is a kind of beast called "Iron Armor Beast" on the island. They have fierce temperament and are the overlord of this island.

It can also be seen from the word "Iron Armor" that the defensive power of iron armour beasts is extremely strong, which is closely related to their recipes and also to the black iron ore on the island.

Yes, they will devour a small amount of black iron ore!

Because the iron beasts have a unique ability, they can take in a certain amount of iron from the black iron ore, and then secrete the iron to the body surface through a special cell, forming an extremely hard carapace, just like in the ocean The same as the conch and seashell.

Like other island creatures, after entering the storm season, as the school of fish is greatly reduced, the frequency of ironclad beasts going to the sea to prey is also significantly reduced. More often, they will choose to stay on the island in a daze.

This is not difficult to understand. As a creature with a body length of more than 4 meters, the body is still so heavy. When food is scarce, the energy consumed in the process of foraging may be greater than the harvest. In comparison, being in a daze saves energy. .

Therefore, during the storm season, the number of black armor beasts on the island will be several times more than usual.

From Ronald, who is most familiar with the Tide Islands, Renault got a rough estimate: no less than 1,000.

On a 35-square-kilometer island, there are more than 1,000 beasts distributed, less than 30 per square kilometer, which sounds like not many.

But the problem is that the ironclad beast is not a cat or puppy, but a top predator. From this perspective, the number of 1,000 is already very amazing.

For Renault, this is a huge problem.

If you want to mine black iron ore, the iron armor beast is the biggest obstacle. If you don't clear them, don't think about the smooth progress of mining work.

However, to everyone's expectations, until the fortification of the large black iron ore was completed, no iron-clad beast appeared. It seemed that they were all staying in the depths of the island and did not notice the situation on the beach.

But no one relaxes, because what should come is always coming.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Suddenly, there was a faint muffled noise in the distance, and then the shouts of the sentry spread all over the beach.

"Iron Armored Beasts are here... 2 appeared 400 meters away from the front left..."

"All personnel will immediately return to the fortification. Once the iron armored beast enters within 150 meters, they will shoot immediately... pay attention to the salvo..." Moose's voice rang for the first time.

There was a commotion on the beach, and the team members ran quickly, quickly jumped into the circular fortifications, raised their air guns and aimed at the distance.

Renault didn't mean to intervene in command, just watching quietly.

After only a few seconds, the sound of footsteps in the distance became much clearer. What is shocking is that the sound of footsteps is dull and dense.

The dullness shows that the Ironclad beast is big, which is consistent with Ronald's description.

Dense is a little surprising, because it shows that they move very fast.

Ronald also said that they are very defensive.

In other words, the iron armor beast is big, hard and fast. Such creatures are of course difficult to deal with. No wonder Ronald seemed a little nervous from the moment he got off the ship.

Renault flew into the sky with some curiosity. He was stunned after only one glance.

This Nima... is obviously a big tortoise!

The alien turtles took a mouthful of iron-clad beasts, making labor and management think that they were creatures similar to the "back-back iron-clad dragon" on the earth, but unexpectedly they were tortoises carrying a big hard shell!

Not only are they big, thick and fast, but they are so black that they are as black as charcoal. "Big, thick, black and fast" is the most complete description.

The iron-clad beast is nearly 4 meters long, with sturdy limbs, and the surface seems to be covered with scales. There is a thick bone shell on the top of the head, and a short tail is dragged on the tail.

The large oval tortoise shell on the back is particularly eye-catching, and the surface is covered with hexagonal patterns. The tortoise shell completely covers the back and extends a section to wrap around the edge of the body.

But there seems to be no extra space in the tortoise shell to accommodate the limbs and head, which is very different from the tortoise on earth.

Obviously, as a beast, the iron-clad beast does not need to use the defensive method of "shrinking head turtle" to protect itself.

I don't know if it's the reason for eating too much black iron ore. They are dark and the color of the ground is exactly the same.

If it weren't for their astonishingly fast moving speed, I am afraid that most people would not be able to distinguish it.

The crawling speed of this big tortoise completely subverted Renault's inherent impression.

They run wildly on flat rocks, with four thick legs walking fast, and they can run at least 15 meters per second, which is equivalent to more than 50 kilometers per hour.

It's just that the use of "running" to describe a tortoise always makes Renault feel a little strange.

In addition, the otherworldly turtle also made Renault think of one more thing.

tank!

A tank with a powerful impact!

The speed of the main station tank on the earth is only 60-70 km/h, not much faster than the big tortoise in the world.

Obviously, the armored beast is a biological tank in another world.

"shooting!"

The two iron armored beasts had just entered the range of 150 meters, and Moose's voice immediately sounded.

Accompanied by the sound of a neat air current neighing, two waves of bullet rain flew out of the fortifications, and slammed the tortoise's body severely.

"Dangdangdang..." Most of the bullets fell on the turtle shell, and the metal knocking like a torrential rain broke out instantly.

The tortoise shell on the back of the big tortoise is no different from metal.

The bullet was shot straight away, leaving only some shallow pits on the turtle shell, and did not harm the big turtle at all.

No wonder the natives call it an iron-clad beast. Their iron shell can't even penetrate rifle bullets, which is not much different from tank armor.

MMP, what a pervert is the otherworldly tortoise!

A small number of bullets hit their limbs and head. These parts were only covered by scales, without a hard carapace. The bullets easily broke the scales, submerged in the body, and a few green blood blossoms appeared.

Like the magic lizards on Black Lizard Island, their blood is also green.

Two iron turtles are injured!

One of the tortoises was even hit in one eye. It roared in pain, and its head swayed frantically, as if it wanted to throw the bullet out of its eye socket.

The figures of the two iron tortoises suddenly stagnated, and the movement frequency of their limbs slowed down.

Obviously, the Iron Tortoise wanted to withdraw.

The large-caliber bullets fired by the magic air gun are extremely powerful and powerful. The iron shell of the iron tortoise is not afraid of bullets, which does not mean that other parts are not afraid.
