The wind in the desert was rather strong today. Endless sand and gravel danced in the air, reducing visibility to a minimum. However, it still couldn't stop the silhouettes of some of the behemoths.
These creatures were huge and strange. It was the first time they appeared in the desert, less than three hundred meters away from the Twisted Jungle. When the Flyers spotted them, they immediately attracted Lin's attention.
These creatures were like beetles. Their carapace was almost the same color as the desert. However, because of their huge bodies, this camouflage was meaningless.
There were ten of them in total. Lin saw them slowly pointing their tails in the direction of the Twisted Jungle. Then, their abdomens rapidly expanded. In a few seconds, they were more than ten times larger than before.
'Bang!' With a loud bang, the abdomens of the giant worms suddenly opened up and sprayed out a huge amount of sand and dust. The sand and dust were blown in the direction of the Twisted Jungle by the wind.
These … weren't normal creatures!
Lin had already thought of this when she saw their abdomens expanding. Normal creatures would not be able to do such a strange thing, and they would not have evolved such a large abdomen to store sand and dust. Only 'branched' creatures would have such a specialization.
They … could they be the Inca army? Could it be that … they were just pretending to be fine underground? Were they actually planning to attack on the ground? But they shouldn't know the location of Lin's base in the Twisted Jungle. Even the Aztec didn't know.
Moreover, Lin had never seen these giant insectoid units underground. The Inca insectoid swarm did not move at all in the desert pit …
But no matter how she looked at it, it seemed like they were intentionally attacking the Twisted Jungle.
After the sand-spitting giant worms finished spraying sand, the worms began to move. They would then quickly devour the sand and air in the desert. Their abdomens would expand again and shoot the sand and gravel in the direction of the Twisted Jungle.
At the edge of the Twinkling Jungle. A large number of Twisted Trees were attacked by the sandstorm. These Twisted Trees weren't fully grown yet. Moreover, the sand and dust moved very quickly. Even with the Twisted Trees blocking it, a large number of them rushed into the Twinkling Jungle and drowned the moss on the ground. Many small creatures living here began to flee into the depths of the jungle.
It was as if they were being attacked by a sandstorm.
The frequency of their spraying was very fast. They would spray once every ten seconds. Although it was impossible for these creatures to drown the Twisted Jungle, the Shining Forest was still in danger of being buried by sand and dust.
Bechymos was currently located at the peak of a mountain, which was quite a distance away. The aerial forces were also gathered at the peak, preparing to attack underground. It could be said that the appearance of these gigantic bugs was rather 'coincidental'. Lin believed that they were definitely Inca bugs.
But no matter what they are, Lin wants to kill them all.
But Lin still had troops here. From the base entrance near the river, a huge number of Bombers rushed out and flew in the direction of the sandworms.
At the moment when the bombers rushed out of the jungle. Lin purposely had the bomber fly higher to avoid the sand and dust. However, the sand-blasting worms seemed to know the location of the bomber. The observing flyers could see them adjust their abdomens and spray a large amount of sand in the direction of the bomber.
Before the sandstorm reached them, Lin ordered all the bombers to scatter, avoid the sandstorm, and continue forward.
The Sandblaster Worms seemed to know the formation of the Bombers. Lin noticed that they kept their abdomens in an inflated shape and kept swallowing sand with their mouths while maintaining the sandblaster state. They relied on the continuous sandblaster to sweep away all the Bombers in the sky who approached them.
The bombers couldn't maintain flight in such a gust of wind. When they were close to fifty meters away, Lin estimated that the wind speed of the sandworms was about thirty meters per second. It was enough to blow away the lighter bombers who relied on airbags to fly.
It was obvious that they had a powerful muscle system in their bodies, which was why they were able to squeeze out the sand at such a speed. At this time, the ten Sandblast Worms slowly gathered together and sprayed sand from their abdomens, leaving no gaps in their surroundings. The tactics used by these worms really surprised Lin. Moreover, they seemed to have a very powerful detection ability. When the Bomber was far away, they would know the Bomber's movements, which was why the Bomber couldn't get close to them.
But this … it seemed like they didn't know.
Bang!
A huge spike suddenly protruded from the sand under one of the giant sand-blasting worms. The spike was about a meter thick and ten meters long. It instantly pierced into the worm's abdomen, causing blood to gush out like water.
In order to deal with the Deep Sand Bus, Lin had thought of many different types of soldiers, and this' transmigrator 'that lurked in the desert was one of them. It usually hid under the sand, and its body was shaped like a disc. On its back was a ten-meter-long giant spike. Through its muscles and hydraulics, it could instantly eject the giant spike and pierce through any creature on its body.
Because the spike was too long and inconvenient for movement, Lin didn't bring the 'transmigrator' to deal with the Aztec worms. However, Lin didn't decompose and recycle this troop. Instead, she kept it in the periphery of the Twisted Jungle.
In fact, Lin could have used this troop from the start. However, she wanted to use the bombers to test these giant sand-blasting worms. It was obvious that they weren't defenseless. Instead, they had a set of tactics.
If they belonged to the Inca race, then it wouldn't be strange …
"Gah …" The sand-blasting worm that was pierced let out a violent cry. It seemed to be in great pain because the spikes of the transmigrator had many barbs. These barbs would fall off when the worm struggled and then split open, releasing a large number of transmigrators.
These transmigrators would pass through the blood vessels, organs, and head straight for the brain. They would penetrate the brain and corrode all the brain cells to ensure the death of the target.
The screams of the pierced sand-blasting worm only lasted for a short while before its body fell limply. After all the barbs fell off, the transmigrator would retract its spikes and continue to wait for the next opportunity to attack.
The sand-blasting worms stopped spewing sand. They didn't seem to have the fearless mentality of a suicidal troop. They began to disperse and escape into the depths of the desert.
The transmigrators moved very slowly under the desert. It was impossible to catch up to them. However, by this time, a large number of bombers had already flown above the sand-blasting worms …
Just as the bombers dropped bombs to melt the shells of the sand-blasting worms, a loud rumble came from the direction of the Flickering Jungle.
