The attack power of the swamp worm is not strong, but it is very good at hiding. It usually hides in the swamp and it is difficult to lure it out even with attractants.
Unfortunately, the instructor gave Lan Ke a heavy task this time, which was to kill hundreds of swamp bugs before noon.
So everyone was curious about what Lan Ke would do this time.
Seeing Lan Ke leading the team approaching a swamp, the onlookers who were watching the video subconsciously held their breath, staring with their eyes wide open and not daring to blink, for fear of missing out on the crucial scene.
Then, they saw Lan Ke start handing out things.
They were metal rods about three meters long, with a non-slip handle on one end and densely packed metal barbs on the other. At first glance, they looked a bit like a deformed mace.
Two-thirds of the three-meter-long metal pole was covered with those strange metal barbs.
Looking at these metal rods, whether it was the onlookers watching the live broadcast or the freshmen and teachers of the Yunlan Military Academy, they all looked puzzled and could not figure out what Lan Ke was going to use these metal rods for.
Lan Ke didn't explain. He sent out fifty metal rods, took out a bucket of marinated meat strips, and wrapped them around the barbed parts.
She was very careful when wrapping it, and the meat strips were hung on the barbs after being wrapped, covering the barbs. After a while, a metal rod was wrapped.
Lan Ke gave orders to the other freshmen, asking them to do it themselves, and reminded them: "Don't use too much force when wrapping it, be careful not to get pricked by the barbs. There is a mechanism on the barbs, and once the force exceeds the limit, the mechanism will automatically open."
These words scared the freshmen greatly. Looking at the hideous barbs, they were all extremely careful, fearing that they would hurt their hands.
Lan Ke saw it and said nothing.
In fact, the freshmen were all wearing combat uniforms and protective gloves, so even if the mechanism was opened and the barbs popped out, they would not necessarily hurt their hands.
She deliberately didn't remind them because she wanted them to be more careful and not be careless and not know the seriousness of the situation just because they were wearing protective gloves.
Dozens of freshmen worked together, and soon all the metal rods were wrapped.
Lan Ke then picked up the metal rod in his hand, grabbed the ring behind the handle and pulled it out hard, and actually pulled out a thin and flexible rope.
She tied one end of the rope to the armored vehicle and fixed it. Then she controlled the combat boots to hang in the air, walked to the edge of the swamp, and inserted the end wrapped with meat strips into it.
Lan Ke pressed the handle, and the metal rod in his hand instantly stretched and continued to sink into the swamp.
Seeing this, the other freshmen followed suit, pulled out ropes to secure them, then rose into the air, came to the edge of the swamp, and inserted the metal rods in their hands into it.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Captain, can this kill the swamp bugs?"
"Don't worry, all the strips of meat have been soaked in attractants, so we will definitely be able to lure them out." Lan Ke said without looking away, his eyes always fixed on the swamp ground, "If you feel something pulling from below, press the button on the handle and retract the fishing rod."
The freshmen nodded solemnly and looked at the swamp in front of them nervously, not daring to miss any movement.
It happened that the instructor also followed out that day. This instructor was not the original one. Every time Lan Ke and his team changed a military base, the instructor would also be changed.
Because each military base is responsible for a different area and the types of insects and beasts in the area are also different, only the instructors of the corresponding base can better understand the situation of insects and beasts in the area they are responsible for and provide better guidance to new students.
He knew that the task assigned to the freshmen this time was a bit heavy, so he followed in person, wanting to see what Lan Ke would do. At the same time, he was also worried that the freshmen had never been exposed to a swamp and might get into danger if they handled it improperly.
Watching Lan Ke inserting the metal pole into the swamp, he guessed Lan Ke's purpose and felt complicated. He never thought that Lan Ke would think of using such a method to catch swamp bugs!
Although he had never seen such a method before, just by looking at it, he felt that it would definitely be useful.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this Lan Ke might really be able to catch a hundred swamp worms before noon.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed some movement in the swamp!
Right where the metal pole was inserted, bubbles suddenly appeared in the swamp, and then began to roll like boiling magma.
Everyone was feeling surprised when they suddenly heard Lan Ke shout, "Pull the rope!"
The freshmen did not dare to be careless and hurriedly grabbed the thin rope and pulled it back hard.
At the same time, Lan Ke pressed the button on the handle, and the extended metal rod instantly retracted. The person behind her pulled, and she controlled the combat boots to move backwards.
The other freshmen who were holding the metal poles all took action and retreated together, imitating Lan Ke's behavior. Then, with the pulling force from behind, they pulled the metal poles out of the swamp.
As they pulled, the swamp rolled even more violently.
Soon, a series of long and thick bodies rolling in the mud appeared, tumbling in the swamp, trying to break free from the pull of the metal poles.
Seeing this, more and more freshmen grabbed the thin rope and pulled it outwards with force.
Soon, the metal pole was pulled out of the swamp.
At this moment, a shocking scene appeared.
Everyone present, including the onlookers watching the live broadcast, was horrified to see that there were several or even dozens of swamp worms hanging on each metal pole!
There were so many swamp bugs that it was a spectacular sight to pull them out of the swamp.
It's so densely packed that it makes people feel creepy at first glance.
Only Lan Ke was unaware of anything.
In her eyes, these so-called swamp worms were just enlarged versions of eels. Even though each of them was several meters or even ten meters long, she found it difficult to feel fear towards them.
However, although these swamp worms look like enlarged versions of eels, they are much more vicious than eels. Their mouths are full of sharp thorns, and when they open, they can even bite off a person's head. No one dares to take it lightly.
When all the swamp worms on the metal poles were pulled onto solid ground, Lan Ke immediately surrounded them with the freshmen, and while the swamp worms were trapped by the metal barbs, he pierced their foreheads with a sword.
The freshmen were already very proficient in this "attack while you're weak" method of warfare. As soon as Lan Ke took action, they immediately followed suit.
Soon, this group of "Swamp Kings" were slaughtered unhappily and died to the point of no return.
After making sure that all the swamp worms were dead, Lan Ke grabbed the handle of the metal rod and turned it gently, retracting the pop-out barbs and easily removing the metal rod from the swamp worm's mouth.
At this time, the freshman in charge of counting had already counted the number of swamp bugs, a total of 438, far exceeding the 100 required by the instructor.
The instructor listened to the number, stood aside with an expressionless face, secretly glanced at the time, and felt mixed emotions.
Someone asked loudly, "Captain, can these swamp bugs be eaten?"
"sure."
"Then let's catch more! It's still quite early in the afternoon, so we have plenty of time!"
Instructor: “…”
