Chapter 193: Chapter 192
Bam! A stream of fiery red liquid burst out of the worm's mouth. Although it was unknown whether it was lava, the liquid was obviously extremely hot. It fell into the fern forest not far in front of the worm, and the wood that came in contact with the 'lava' suddenly burst into flames.
Lava Worm was the name Lin gave to the ultimate Inca insect, but she felt that it was not imposing enough, so she changed it to Purgatory Worm. She also did some simple research on the Purgatory Worm as quickly as possible.
Almost all of the monster's body was covered in rock-like armor. Its overall structure was very suitable for rotating underground. Its carapace was divided into many segments, and each segment seemed to have the ability to move. Its shape was also suitable for resisting the pressure of the ground and its weight. However, its actual structure needed to be dissected to understand in detail.
Through the heat-resistant cavity in its body, the Purgatory Worm could spit out high-temperature liquid like lava at high speed. The liquid would be in the shape of a sphere. When it hit the ground, it would splash, but it would not flow to the surroundings. Its range was about 300 meters. Although it was not far, it was enough to reach the top of the East Cave.
Accompanying the Purgatory Worm was a large number of red spiders. They were small flying arachnids. A large number of red spiders poured out from the cracks created by the Purgatory Worm. They cooperated with the Purgatory Worm to attack some small targets that it could not attack easily.
Almost all of the red spiders were focused on attacking Lin's Sky Hunter. The Sky Hunter was individually stronger than the red spiders, but they were somewhat lacking in numbers. They almost completely surrounded the Sky Hunter and used their huge army to continuously deplete the Sky Hunter's numbers.
Meanwhile, the Purgatory Worm kept moving towards the forest north of Lin. Its speed was very slow. As it moved. A huge crack was left in the ground. The Purgatory Worm kept spitting lava into the forest. A large area of the forest here had been knocked down by the Earth Splitter. Flames spread along with the fallen trees. Two of the three Hometrees were also set ablaze.
In fact, the Hometrees were not afraid of fire. Although their outer bark was easy to burn and their skin was dry and flammable, their inner layer was protected by a layer of protective sap. This layer of sap would harden when exposed to high temperature and become new bark after the fire burned out. Therefore, the Hometrees would not collapse no matter how much they burned.
The larger the creature, the more defensive measures it had.
However, the ferns were different. They could easily burn up. If this continued, the Purgatory Worms would turn the entire battlefield into a real purgatory.
Now, the Earth Splitters were in a suffocating state. However, they were not dead. They had only fainted. It was closer to a state of deep sleep. This should be a self-protection mechanism in the face of a lack of oxygen. Lin had to take this opportunity to get rid of the worm.
Then … let's charge!
At this moment, Lin's army rushed out from the burning forest and charged towards the largest animal Lin had ever seen!
Lin didn't use the Wood Grinders or Crushers to charge, but the Predators and another type of speedy troop. They were all good at winning with numbers and speed.
At the same time, Lin ordered the Bombers in the air to disperse quickly. They dropped a special kind of sticky explosive into the burning forest to extinguish the flames.
Facing the charging army, the Infernal Worms let out a gurgling sound from their mouths. Scorching lava balls immediately shot out toward the center of Lin's army.
Spread out!
Lin's army instantly spread out to the sides, creating an open space that was just slightly larger than the lava balls. The lava balls that the Infernal Worms spat out fell on the ground. The lava balls didn't hit any of Lin's troops. Only the splashes of liquid caused some damage to the troops closer to them. Even the splashes of liquid were fatal. They could easily melt the shells of the Predators and burn the internal cells. However, the dead Predators were insignificant to the entire army.
"Coo …" Seeing this, the Inferno Worm let out a deep growl. Suddenly, it sprayed out a lava fountain that looked like a water column. Lin immediately ordered the troops to move to the sides. The lava fountain swept across the empty space in the middle of the troops, leaving a fiery red trail of heat.
This attack was actually very easy to dodge. Lin could quickly calculate where the lava would fall and make space for the troops to dodge the lava.
The Infernal Worms changed to spitting lava balls again, but Lin was able to dodge accurately every time. The lava balls hit the middle of Lin's army, but they could only kill a small number of troops by splashing. Just as the Infernal Worms were about to spit out the sixth lava ball, the army had already reached the bottom of the Infernal Worms.
They climbed up the worm's body. The Predators used their claws to test every gap on the worm's shell, looking for any weak points.
Another of Lin's troops, the Bombardiers, also climbed up. They were similar in size to the Predators but did not have the claws of the Predators. However, they had small holes on their limbs that could release a small explosive bomb. These bombs could be thrown into the target's stoma or blow up the weak points such as joints. With the cooperation of these two troops, they could quickly search for the weak points of a creature's body and attack.
The Purgatory Worm continued to shake its body. Just as Lin had expected, this worm-like creature wasn't very good at dealing with small creatures. Its combat style was completely different from the Earth Shatterer's. It didn't throw boulders or wood, nor did it shake the ground. Even if its shaking motion caused a large number of troops to fall to the ground, more of them would quickly climb up. Lin's troops quickly covered the entire Purgatory Worm's body and tested for any weak spots.
Lin did not have any giant troops in the underground, but she could still rely on the small troops to deal with these seemingly invincible giant monsters. As long as she used the right tactics, there would be no problem.
The bombardier threw a large number of miniature bombs into every gap of the Infernal Worm's carapace, while the predator put its claws into the gap to cut. Lin found that there were some relatively fragile joints inside. Although they could not cause immediate damage, they could slowly tear open wounds on them if they kept attacking.
The Infernal Helminth twisted its body violently. The instantaneous tightening of its joints could break the arthropods of the predator, but it could not stop the bombardier from throwing a large number of miniature bombs into the cracks of its joints. The explosive solution corroded the fragile structure of its joints.
In the sky, the Red Spiders, who were fighting with the Aerial Hunters, rushed down to support the Bombardiers who were attacking the Infernal Worms' joints. They tried to pierce the Bombardiers with their giant fangs that secreted high-temperature liquid, but before that, Lin's Predators stopped them with their claws.
It was not easy to fight the Red Spiders on the wriggling body of the giant worm. The Predators could not stand still and were easily bitten and killed by the Red Spiders. However, the Red Spiders' action of dispersing their forces allowed Lin's Aerial Hunters to start fighting back. It would not be long before they joined the battle.
In the continuous battle, the Infernal Worms' joints were constantly attacked by the Bombardiers and began to have wounds. But suddenly, the Infernal Worms stopped wriggling. It straightened its body and opened its mouth to the top of the cave.
Was it going to …
Bang!
The Purgatory Worm spewed out a large mass of lava, but it did not use its full strength. The lava flew to a height of tens of meters and fell back onto the Purgatory Worm's head. The extremely high temperature instantly burned a group of Lin's troops into ashes.
The lava flowed down the Infernal Worms' vertical body, sweeping away any creatures on its body. Lin's troops had to retreat from the Infernal Worms' body. But at this moment, the Infernal Worms suddenly began to shake its body violently. The lava stuck to its body suddenly sprayed to the surroundings. The high-temperature liquid instantly killed a large number of troops around Lin.
Could it use this method? It seemed that the Infernal Worms' outer and inner carapaces were able to isolate the high temperature of the lava. Lin was sure that this tactic was a last-minute idea of the Inca Worms, but such a group attack would not be effective.
Bang!
After driving away the creatures on its body, the Infernal Worms spewed lava balls at the Hunters and Red Spiders who were fighting in the air. All the Red Spiders at this moment pounced on the Hunters in the air, grabbed them, and burned them into ashes with the lava balls.
Under this suicidal tactic, Lin's Hunters in the air suffered heavy losses. Only a few of them were left after being burned to death by the Sandblast Worms. However, the Inca Worms' Red Spiders were also almost wiped out. Now, the Infernal Worms were the only remaining force in the Inca Worms' army.
After completely destroying the Inca Worms' aerial troops, the Infernal Worms continued to move forward. At the same time, it opened its mouth and kept breathing. Lin could feel that the Infernal Worms' mouth exhaled a strange colorless gas. This gas felt like smoke after a fire, and its temperature was higher than normal air. This gas quickly spread and spread throughout the entire underground...
What's the use of this? After Lin had this question, she almost immediately saw its use. She saw that the layer of viscous acid covering the bodies of the Earth Splitters on the ground began to slowly change color and then fell off.
It seemed that there was something special in this gas that caused the viscous acid to deteriorate.
The Earth Splitters slowly began to recover their vitality when their breathing holes were not blocked. They shook their heads and stretched their jaws, but because their breathing holes were damaged, they could not recover so quickly.
Stop it!
A large number of Lin's army rushed towards the Infernal Worms. They climbed onto the Infernal Worms' body using the same tactic as before. The Infernal Worms immediately straightened its body, opened its mouth, and aimed at the sky, ready to use the same method as before.
Now is the time!
Before the Purgatory Worm spewed out lava, an oval-shaped object suddenly appeared in the air. It rushed into the Purgatory Worm's open mouth and rushed into its body … Heavens and earth.
