Chapter 242: Chapter 241 Hotbox island?
"An island has appeared. Landing. Found something interesting. Excited. Happy."
Bechymos was flying at such a high altitude that even the brain bug could see the island several kilometers away. Lin immediately ordered the entire army to speed up and rush towards the strange island.
As the entire army had been sailing westward, Lin had never been in this direction and had never seen the island before.
As they approached the island, the bright starry sky suddenly turned dark. It was as though a thick fog had suddenly filled the surroundings, blocking all sight. That kind of creaking sound continued to reverberate in the fog. The sound was intermittent, but it was getting louder and louder.
It might be some kind of creature communicating, but Lin couldn't determine their location. It seemed to be coming from many places. As expected, an unknown world would have unknown creatures …
Lin ordered the entire air force to stop. Instead, she chose to have a small number of troops advance. She didn't know what would appear in front of her, so it was better to be a little cautious.
Lin ordered Bechymos and the pioneers in the sea to rush into the fog. Bechymos' head lit up with a strong light and sent out echoes as it explored the surrounding environment in the darkness.
The moment Bechymos' voice sounded, countless images suddenly appeared in Lin's mind. They seemed to be some kind of small flying creature, and they were flying in this direction …
In the next moment, accompanied by the humming of countless wings flapping, a large number of small creatures suddenly rushed out from the dense fog. They flew past under the radiance emitted by Bechymos. They seemed to be a kind of arthropod with a body length of more than ten centimeters. There were some similar creatures in the Twisted Thicket. But they weren't that big. They were called … 'Giant Mosquitoes'. Lin didn't come up with that name, but it was a name in the vocabulary.
These creatures … could be very dangerous.
A large number of giant mosquitoes flew past Bechymos. Some of them quickly disappeared into the fog, but a large number of them stopped on Bechymos' skin.
The mouths of these creatures were extremely long needles. They inserted the needles into Bechymos' skin in an attempt to suck out the cells inside.
As expected, they were a species that liked to suck blood. There were similar creatures in the Twisted Thicket. It liked to insert its straw into weak spots and suck the cells of other creatures. If there were a lot of them, it could suck a huge creature to death.
After Bechymos, a large number of giant mosquitoes rushed out of the mist. Many of the Bombardiers who had stayed behind were also attacked. There were too many of them and they were flying everywhere. Lin couldn't attack them because she could easily injure herself. But …
It was easy for Lin to deal with them.
Lin secreted a large amount of chitin from some of the cells in her blood vessels. Then, it would be given to them to absorb. The crustaceous substance hardened in the giant mosquitoes' suction tubes, blocking their mouths.
Soon, the group of giant mosquitoes pulled out their tubes and flew away while shaking their heads in pain.
The giant mosquitoes also besieged the Cerebellum, but the Cerebellum's rolling caused a large number of them to be crushed to death, so they had no choice but to give up.
It was indeed very simple, but there were so many giant mosquitoes here. Did that mean that there were many creatures here for them to suck? However, it could also be a lot of plants.
Lin knew that some mosquitoes liked to feed on plant cells, but she didn't know if this group of giant mosquitoes had this habit. Anyway, she would only know when she reached the island.
Rumble!
In the ocean below, the Pathfinder suddenly collided with a huge rock. The rock was twisted into pieces by the Pathfinder's huge spinning body. But the next second, the Pathfinder collided with another huge rock. This one suffered the same fate as the previous one. Under the highly hardened crustaceous substance, it was almost unable to withstand a single blow.
Lin discovered that there were these huge rocks everywhere in the fog-filled ocean. They seemed to be called 'reefs'. Lin ordered the Pathfinder to stop moving forward. These could be one of the structures of the island. Lin didn't want to cause too much damage to the island. The Airforce continued to move forward. In the thick fog, Bechymos' light shone on a green land.
They had arrived at the island.
This could be considered a brand new world! Bechymos opened the exit beneath its body. Dozens of airdrop cabins were released onto the island. A large number of Predators rushed out from the airdrop cabins. They quickly spread out and began to investigate the island's environment. Bechymos stopped moving forward. Lin ordered it to stop above the edge of the island.
The ground of the island was green and covered with a layer of fern-like plants. However, this kind of plant was much smaller than ferns and basically stuck to the island like a layer of skin. Perhaps the entire island was covered by a thick fog all year round and could not receive too much light.
Under the fog, Lin could only tell that the island seemed to be a vast plain with nothing on it.
Perhaps some creature was hiding in the darkness …
Squawk.
It was that sound again. This time, it seemed to be very close. Lin immediately ordered the Predators to gather and rush in that direction. After running for about three hundred meters, Lin saw a rock.
… A rock?
Lin ordered the Predators to surround the rock. It was one meter tall and two meters wide. There didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary about it.
Squawk.
Suddenly, that sound came from the rock. At the same time, the same sound echoed from the surrounding plain …
Was this some kind of resonance? Was there some kind of creature inside?
Attack!
The next moment, Lin ordered all the Predators to pounce on the rock. They used their sharp claws to carve out long marks on the rock. The rock didn't seem to be very sturdy. The Predators could easily break it open.
The Predators scraped the surface of the rock with their sharp claws, easily scraping off a large amount of debris. Under their incessant attacks, the rock stopped making squawking sounds. Instead, it was replaced by a sharp sound, and the frequency was much faster.
At this time, the Predators' attack frequency was also much faster. Lin was certain that there was definitely a creature inside. As countless debris were scraped off, the rock became smaller and smaller. In the end, the Predators dug out the entire rock like they were digging mud. Lin discovered that there was actually a spherical object about ten centimeters in diameter inside.
Could this be … an egg?
The Predators grabbed an egg and examined it. Lin had never seen this kind of egg before. It seemed to be some kind of unknown creature. They should bring it back and let it hatch.
After having some of the Predators bring it back, the rest continued forward. The Predators also found many similar rocks in other places. This place seemed to be the spawning ground of some kind of creature.
But aside from them, there was nothing else.
