The Inca swarm? Lin hadn't seen them for a long time. She didn't study the huge pit either, and the few flyers who were there to observe them were no longer there. The Inca swarm could be said to be the division of labor that Lin understood the least.
But if the Aztec swarm frequently traveled through the sand, there should be a high probability of encountering the Inca swarm. But what was the relationship between them?
Looking at Montezuma who was fleeing towards the northwest, Lin believed that if he was looking for the Inca swarm, their relationship might be similar to the relationship between Lin and the Cephalopod, a kind of 'communication'.
This relationship was actually very special. It wasn't the usual symbiosis, but they could learn from each other or help each other. It was quite interesting.
Bechymos released the Deepsand Bus and once again activated its jet at full speed to chase after Montezuma. Whether he was looking for the Inca swarm or fleeing to somewhere else, Lin wouldn't let him go.
Bechymos was a little faster than Montezuma, but he had already reached the forest of vine ferns. Montezuma rushed into the ferns at full speed, trying to use the ferns as a cover to evade Bechymos' pursuit.
But Lin could still see Montezuma fleeing through the gaps between the ferns. Bechymos had already arrived right above him.
It was already over.
A small hole opened up on the skin beneath Bechymos' body. A sharp needle-like object suddenly shot out from it, instantly hitting Montezuma's back who was in the bracken below.
After the needle pierced into the skin, it began to release a large amount of a solution that Lin called 'anesthetic'. It could paralyze a creature's nerve transmission. Montezuma slowly lost the ability to fly. The speed of his wings became slower and slower. In the end, he was completely immobilized. He fell into the ferns.
Finally caught him.
Bechymos shot out a hook line, grabbed Montezuma from the bracken, and pulled him up. Then, Rin had Bechymos place him into one of the vents. Next, a swarm of mad bees who were usually in charge of cleaning the vents transported him to the depths of Bechymos' body. They placed him in a sac-shaped pouch made of a crustaceous substance and tightly closed the pouch.
Lin would slowly study this creature after returning to the base. But now, she wanted to see how the Inca swarm was faring in the pit.
Thinking. Linda ordered Bechymos to release some flyers to fly towards the northwest, while Bechymos turned around and flew back to the base.
The war seemed to have ended … but there were still many Aztec worms that managed to escape. They were still far from being wiped out, so Lin didn't feel any sympathy for them.
Moreover, there were many other strange things.
By now, Lin's other forces had reached the territories of several other Aztec insects. However … … they found nothing.
Those territories seemed to have been abandoned. The moss was all gone, and several places were covered with sand or covered with vines and ferns. However, Lin did not see any Aztec worms.
Did they escape? In this vast desert, it was indeed not an easy task to find them. Moreover, there were still vine ferns covering it.
Whatever, I'll study Montezuma first. I might be able to learn a lot of information from him.
Bechymos quickly flew back to the sky above the Shining Glade. The sky was slowly turning bright. Bechymos flew to the sky above the floating green carpet. Now, Lin was ready to conduct her research on Montezuma.
Lin ordered Wildbee to bring the sack containing Montezuma to another part of Bechymos' body, called the 'research facility'. The research facility was not a big place. It was just an organ filled with water. After opening the sack, Lin threw Montezuma into the water.
Several tentacles extended from the inner walls of the research facility. These tentacles were connected to the breathing holes on Montezuma's body, so that he wouldn't drown. Next, Lin released the Explorer and some experimental cells into his body to investigate.
Just as the Explorer was about to approach Montezuma, he suddenly woke up and began to wriggle his body frantically. Lin immediately extended her tentacles from the inner walls and trapped him.
It seemed that the paralysis effect had worn off. This was the first time Lin used it, so she didn't know how long it would last.
"Caw …" Montezuma's vocal sac didn't seem to be connected to his mouth. He could still make sounds in the water. He began to make a lot of strange noises that Lin couldn't understand.
Right, why not let the Overmind listen? It was very concerned about Montezuma's situation when Lin discovered him.
Although the Overmind was busy commanding its tribe to hunt in the spring, it didn't use much of its brain power during normal hunting. It could even communicate with Lin while commanding the infantry in battle. Therefore, when Lin told it to attack the Aztec worm, the Overmind stayed beside the Overmind.
With that in mind, Lin made the Overmind display Montezuma's image on the Overmind's nest.
When the Overmind saw Montezuma, it immediately became excited. It said happily, "Lin's strength is unprecedented. Success and victory. Our ancient opponent, Montezuma, competed with our tribe, plundered, and died. Now, Aztec is finally destroyed."
It seemed that they had fought before. But compared to that, Lin was more interested in knowing what Montezuma was shouting about.
Right … Lin thought of a way. As long as the two sides had synchronized images, wouldn't they be able to communicate with each other? The communication between Montezuma and the Overmind must be very interesting.
With that in mind, Lin made a Overmind and put it in the laboratory's water. She spread it out in front of Montezuma and displayed the image on the Overmind's side.
"Ga … Maya …" Montezuma saw the image and was suddenly surprised. He called out the Overmind's name with the same pronunciation.
This is really fun.
The Overmind's Overmind also displayed the sound and image in front of the Overmind at the same time. The Overmind was shocked when it saw this. It asked Lin, "Montezuma, can you see, here?"
"Maya!" The Overmind's voice was interrupted by Montezuma, "You, stupid tribe, weak tribe, can't win. You, can only regret, die, and be exterminated!"
This time, Lin completely understood because Montezuma was using the Overmind's vocabulary. She didn't expect it to be able to communicate like this. Montezuma's voice was full of anger, completely different from the Overmind's way of communicating.
The Overmind now realized that Montezuma could indeed see the image on its side, so it said, "You, stupid. Lin, is incomparably powerful. Destroying your tribe is a piece of cake. You, are the weak one."
"Lin?" Montezuma instantly became confused. "What's that?" Heavens.
