Kapitel 184: Chapter 183
While the shadowy monster was hunting, Lin's Reaper had already arrived nearby. Just after the shadowy monster attacked the Land Shark, the Reaper flew sideways into the forest and directly slashed the shadowy monster's back with her blade-like first pair of wings, but the cut wasn't deep, only leaving a bloody wound.
"Gah …"
The Shadow Monster let out a miserable cry. It rushed into the forest and hid in the tangled and twisted tree trunks while staring at the sky.
The Flyer quietly followed behind the shadowy monster. Lin could feel its pain … and confusion.
Yes, Lin found that the Shadow Monster was confused. It was probably thinking: Why did the Reaper find it? This operation should be very secretive.
The Reaper flew into the night sky again and swooped down at the Shadow Monster's location again!
The Shadow Monster could clearly see the Reaper's flickering figure under the starlight, but it didn't dodge. It probably thought that the complicated branches could protect it.
Obviously, that was impossible.
The Reaper's speed suddenly increased as it swooped down. The blade-like wings easily cut all the branches in half. In less than half a second, the Reaper rushed to the Shadow Monster's side from dozens of meters in the air.
This time, it was far more than just a scratch. The blade-like wings slashed the Shadow Monster's body and cut its body and the branch it was standing on into two.
The two halves of the Shadow Monster fell to the ground. The Reaper couldn't slow down and slammed into the soil. Fortunately, Lin slowed it down before it hit the ground. Now, only its upper body was stuck in the soil. It would be able to climb out soon.
What Lin was concerned about was the Shadow Monster. This creature didn't spit out any organs from its broken body. It only bled a little, and it quickly stopped bleeding.
This made Lin very curious about how its body structure worked. But what was even more strange was that the upper and lower body of the shadowy monster actually crawled on the ground. They crawled on the ground bit by bit towards the Reaper whose head was buried in the ground.
What a tough feeling. Lin had seen some creatures like this before. Even if their bodies were cut in half, they could still maintain their vitality. They could even be reborn. Some of the more primitive worms could even be cut into thousands of segments, and each segment could grow into a new individual.
Lin, on the other hand, felt that this ability was rather useless. If the unit type was cut off, it would be better to turn them into bombs or just leave them there to be recycled. Even if they could be reborn in advance, they would still need to store enough nutrients in their bodies, so it would be better to just put in more muscles to live longer.
However, the shadow-type monster shouldn't be able to regenerate, but it had the ability to stop bleeding instantly. Even if it was completely cut off, it could still live for a while. At this moment, Lin saw the tail of the shadow monster's lower body stand up. It instantly stabbed into the Reaper's abdomen. Then, like a suicide troop that had completed its mission, the shadow-type monster lay on the ground motionlessly …
At this time, Lin's Reaper finally pulled its body out of the ground. The Reaper's limbs were very short, so it was troublesome to do this. At the same time, Lin already knew why the Shadow monster stuck its tail on the ground. It had injected an egg into the Reaper's body.
It only took 10 seconds for the egg's shell to crack open. What came out wasn't the normal creature that Lin had imagined, but something extremely primitive — a virus.
Why is it a virus? Can the Inca swarm create viruses? No, this was really impossible. Perhaps, like Lin, they had stored some kind of virus.
These viruses were a type that Lin had never seen before. Once they came into contact with the Reaper's cells, they would quickly burrow into the cells and begin to destroy them from the inside …
So that's how it is … Then, did the shadow-type monster inject the same egg into the Land Shark earlier? Can this method obtain the enemy's ability? The Inca swarm should be able to obtain abilities by breaking down other creatures' cells. Although the details weren't clear, it shouldn't be a virus.
Perhaps they didn't want to obtain any abilities from the beginning, but simply spread viruses?
Viruses were the most primitive creatures with the most destructive power. They could kill multicellular creatures, no matter how strong they were.
Of course, Lin was an exception.
In fact, Lin had recently discovered a problem. Viruses couldn't move.
That's right, after they came into contact with a cell, they didn't burrow into the cell by themselves. It was the cell that swallowed the virus. Viruses could fool the cell, making the cell think that they were something to be eaten.
Of course, although they could fool the cell, they couldn't fool Lin.
As long as Lin didn't let the cell swallow the virus, the virus was nothing. Although sometimes Lin didn't notice it, she used the old method of wrapping the infected cell with the chitinous substance to prevent the virus from spreading.
Viruses were nothing to Lin, but the same couldn't be said for other creatures.
Lin immediately sent out troops to find the Land Shark that swam downstream. She couldn't let this creature live.
Lin's base was nearby. She sent out a large number of troops to search. When it was almost daytime, some of Lin's Predators found the Land Shark downstream, but it seemed to be too late.
What Lin found was a carcass with a lot of blood flowing out of its gills and mouth. Lin let the Predators eat some of the shark's blood and found that the blood was mixed with a lot of viruses.
This was a bit troublesome …
These viruses were mixed in the river and flowed downstream. It seemed that the Inca swarm wanted to use this troublesome method to attack the Twisted Jungle?
Would it really work? Lin didn't think that these viruses could do any effective damage to the Twisted Jungle. There were so many species, it was easy for them to evolve resistance. Not to mention, a single virus couldn't possibly be effective against all creatures.
Lin stopped using this method a long time ago, even though the infected cells still remained.
Compared to using these unstable things, it was better to use her own cells.
Viruses couldn't be controlled, so they were completely worthless. They couldn't do anything other than kill cells.
However, the necessary inspection still had to be done. Lin let a Predator fly around the shark carcass to check the virus content. Lin found that there wasn't any in the air. It seemed that the virus couldn't be spread through the air. Was this virus really used to …
Wait a minute … what was that?
It was still night time. The Predator suddenly saw a strange spherical object in the sky. This sphere was relatively large and also glowed brightly. It was particularly eye-catching under the starry sky.
"The moon is coming." The Overmind's words suddenly appeared in Lin's mind. Floating astronomy.
