Chapter 76: Chapter 76
The surroundings were filled with these tiny water droplets at some point in time. They floated in the air, their high density caused them to form a white mist that shrouded everything in the surroundings.
This phenomenon could also be called 'fog'.
These water droplets probably floated up from the sea. As long as the wind blew, it would pick up a lot of water droplets on the surface of the sea. At the same time, many small bubbles would also enter the water. For some reason, there were so many water droplets gathered here. Perhaps it had something to do with the sea's heat.
The large amount of fog gathered reduced Lin's vision to the minimum, but Lin believed that they should collect all the water droplets. If they lived on land, they would need to protect their water source.
Lin constructed a type of troop within the Leviathan's body. This troop had a spherical body with many small hairy tentacles on its surface. It could grab the moisture in the air and store it within its body.
However, just as Lin was about to release these troops, she suddenly felt something strange.
Something … … was moving in the fog around them. It wasn't a scorpion, but something huge. It carried an unfamiliar scent that had never been seen before, and its movements were also very strange. It seemed to be moving on the ground with its body, without any legs or other moving limbs.
This was very similar to the movement of a worm. Moving like this on land should be very taxing on the body.
Was this a new creature that they had never encountered before? Lin didn't know if it was dangerous, but with so many dead fish here, they probably wouldn't choose the transporters as their target.
Lin had the transporters pile up together without moving to avoid attracting the attention of these creatures. She also carefully sensed their movements.
There were a lot of them, at least a dozen of them. Due to their strange movements, it was difficult to estimate their size, but they were at least much larger than a scorpion or something.
The creatures first moved towards the direction of the fish carcasses. After a while, Lin could feel a unique vibration in the air.
It was the feeling of the Bloondu scorpion's carapace being crushed.
What's going on? These creatures weren't eating the dead fish, but the scorpion instead?
That's strange. They didn't eat the food on the ground, but instead ate the scorpion with poisonous stingers? Could they be the type of creatures that would vomit after eating rotten corpses? In fact, that type of creature was quite rare. In the past 100 million years, Lin had only seen a few fish that would do that.
While Lin was puzzled, she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her sense of smell. The unfamiliar scent of these strange creatures suddenly expanded, as if covering the entire area.
Were they releasing their scent in large quantities? Why? Cutting off other creatures' sense of smell? Indeed, Lin would not be able to accurately smell their location. She could only rely on the vibrations when they moved, and Lin was still not used to determining the direction of the vibrations in the air.
All of a sudden, Lin felt the tremors around her abruptly accelerating. Almost at the same time, one of the carriers on the outskirts of the group was bitten by something and abruptly dragged into the fog.
Intense pain immediately followed. The transporter's shell was crushed by a powerful force, and then it was torn into pieces by countless sharp teeth. In the end, the few cells that were still alive were also swallowed into the creature's body and dissolved to death.
Suddenly, one of the transporters was bitten by another creature and dragged into the fog.
These creatures were very dangerous! It seemed that they were not interested in corpses. Moreover, they did not know how big they were or how many of them there were. If this continued, it would be troublesome …!
Lin didn't think too much about it. She had the Leviathan create several 'nutrient tubes' that were connected to the surrounding transporters. This way, the transporters would be able to provide nutrients to the Leviathan, allowing Lin to create a large number of units regardless of the cost.
These units were mainly modified from the Slaughterers. They could run on land like segmented limbs, and their bodies were filled with infected viruses and venom. Although Lin didn't normally like to use poisons, when faced with a great threat, Lin wouldn't hesitate to use them.
These land-based Slaughterers were only 10 centimeters long, so Lin quickly created over 10 of them and had them surround the entire group.
At this moment, a tremor came from the west of the group, the direction of the attack.
Attack!
There were 5 Slaughterers in charge of the west side. They immediately opened a small hole on top of their heads and sprayed the lethal substance inside their bodies towards the direction of the tremor. Through Lin's special design, these sprays came in many different types, including viruses and toxins. At the very front was an explosive bomb filled with dissolving liquid, used to dissolve the enemy's skin or armor, allowing the poison and viruses to seep into the target's body.
However, without being able to see, Lin couldn't tell how effective they were.
All of a sudden, a gigantic figure broke through the fog and entered the Slaughterers' field of vision.
This was the first time Lin had seen this creature's appearance. It looked like a giant worm covered in solid armor, with a head as large as a Dunkleosteus'. Its carapace was covered in circles of barbed spikes, evidently, the Slaughterer's attack didn't manage to penetrate its armor.
It opened its barbed maw, bit down on one of the transporters, and retreated, disappearing into the fog.
Lin instantly lost sight of her target and couldn't even give chase.
The smell of her surroundings was also masked, so she could only rely on the intermittent tremors. Lin couldn't tell what was going on around her, she couldn't even tell how many of them there were.
… This is dangerous.
I can only run.
I can't run into the sea, and the water is still very hot, so there's only one direction left.
Lin had the Slaughterers lie on top of the transporters at the periphery. This way, they could eat both the Slaughterers and the transporters, and the Slaughterers' viruses and toxins would be able to harm them.
After finishing her preparations, Lin activated the 'appendages' on the transporters and sprinted towards the direction of the giant spikes in her memory.
The spikes were densely packed together, and the creatures' heads were too big to fit through.
At this moment, the creatures caused another tremor. Lin named them 'Fog Worms'. They might be creatures that only existed in the Northern Continent, but Lin wasn't in the mood to study them right now.
A worm rushed out from the west side of the transporters, and bit down on the outermost transporter with extreme speed, then quickly retreated back into the fog. However, there was still a Slaughterer on top of this transporter.
Not long after the transporter was bitten to pieces, Lin felt a continuous tremor. Obviously, this worm had bitten the Slaughterer on top of the transporter as well, and now its poison and virus had seeped into its body.
Regardless of whether it had poison resistance or not, it probably wouldn't chase after them after suffering pain, but this worm wasn't the only one in the area …
Following that, another surprise attack. This time, a transporter on the east side of the group was dragged into the fog.
Lin's Slaughterers were all lying on top of the transporters at the periphery of the group. When the worms accidentally ate the Slaughterers, Lin could feel the tremors from their painful struggles.
These painful worms couldn't possibly catch up, but even so, the transporters were still being taken away. Lin initially thought that there were only a few of them, but she must have been wrong.
Dozens? Hundreds? It's all possible … Although Lin couldn't feel that many tremors, from the way the transporters were constantly being preyed on, there were indeed that many.
Lin didn't stop, she accelerated towards the destination. During this time, worms kept coming out of the fog to attack, and the number of transporters kept decreasing …
It had been 100 million years since the era of single-celled organisms, and Lin once again felt that her life was in danger.
But Lin didn't have time to think too much. Another worm rushed out of the fog, but this time its target wasn't the transporters, but the Leviathan at the back of the group.
Lin prepared a poison-filled explosive bomb almost instantly, and the bomb was shot out from the water spout at the back, right into the worm's gaping mouth.
The worm that ate the bomb began to twitch, its body twisting as if it was in great pain.
Lin ignored it and continued to run forward …
