Capítulo 173: Chapter 172
The bodies of the sand-spraying worms were drowned by countless bombs and liquids. The Bomber finally killed every single one of the giant sand-spraying worms. Although they were huge in size, they didn't have much defense. When they ran away, they panicked and ran everywhere, no longer looking as cooperative as before.
At the same time, after a loud explosion in the Glittering Woodland, a sea of flames suddenly lit up. The burning flames spread along the sand and dust on the ground, instantly turning the entire woodland into a sea of fire.
Lin's eyeball in the Glittering Woodland saw everything clearly. Just now, a bursting beetle rushed down from the sky and crashed into the sand that the sandblasters had sprayed on the Glittering Woodland, causing a raging fire.
Sand can burn? Indeed, Lin didn't need to analyze the sandblasters to know. Obviously, the sandblasters had some kind of flammable liquid in their bodies. They mixed the sand with some kind of flammable liquid in their bodies and sprayed it into the woodland.
It seems that both the Aztec and Inca swarms liked to attack the Glittering Woodland. Why? Did they know that it was difficult to grow trees in the Glittering Woodland? Or did they think that Lin's base was under the Glittering Woodland?
A large number of water storages had arrived at the burning Glittering Woodland. The water storages were used for planting. They were about one meter long worms, but they could spray water to extinguish the fire.
Every water storage was filled with water. Lin had them extinguish the fire while thinking about this problem.
When the sandblasters first appeared, Lin was still suspicious. However, when the bursting beetles crashed down, Lin knew that this was definitely an attack from the Inca swarms. It seemed that the Inca swarms had other ways to reach the surface other than through the desert pit. The question was, where was that way?
When the Bomber chased after the sandblasters. The sandblasters weren't running around in panic. Instead, they pretended to be running around in panic to be killed by the Bomber. Their goal was obviously not to let Lin know where they came from.
These Inca swarms were quite smart.
However, this made things interesting. Previously, both the Aztec and Chibucha swarms weren't that strong. Only the Inca swarms' battle was interesting.
Lin felt that she had awakened a special interest … But this feeling should have been there a hundred million years ago. Fighting against a strong opponent was more interesting.
Suddenly, a whistling sound came from above the Glittering Woodland.
It was bursting beetles.
The eyeball at the top of the Twisted Tree saw it. Dozens of Exploding Armors appeared from the clouds in the sky and rushed towards the ground. They were obviously here to stop Lin from extinguishing the fire.
In the twisted forest, the snipers were already in position. Hundreds of different types of warheads were aimed at the Explosive Beetle swarm in the air.
When the fastest Exploding Armor approached the Glittering Forest, there was a soft sound. A wooden bullet instantly pierced through its abdomen. The bullet pierced through the liquid in the Exploding Armor's body, causing the two liquids to mix. The Exploding Armor exploded in the air with a boom.
There was almost no hesitation. The other Exploding Armor Beasts instantly scattered, but during this time, another three Exploding Armor Beasts were shot in the abdomen by Lin.
Snipers were not as powerful as cannons. But the key point was that they were very secretive. They hid between the branches and had color-changing cells as protection. Exploding Armor couldn't see them at all, so he couldn't dodge the sniper's attack.
At this time, the Explosive Armors all retreated into the air. Lin ordered the Snipers to aim at the Explosive Armors that were flying into the air.
The sniper's range wasn't very far, but the same couldn't be said for the warhead. Lin used a new type of warhead with an explosive at the tail that could explode during flight for secondary propulsion. The range of the warhead could even exceed that of a cannon.
Fire!
Under the volley of the Snipers, there was a roar of explosion in the air. A large amount of Exploding Armor Beasts' body fluid dripped down like raindrops, sprinkling on the twisted trees.
But it didn't burn …
The bark of the twisted trees had special properties. Even if it was struck by lightning, it was very difficult to burn. The fluid wouldn't cause any flames. In fact, the fire on the ground only burned the surface of the ground. It couldn't spread to the twisted trees.
Lin guessed that most of the Exploding Armor Beasts had been shot down, but some had escaped into the clouds. They were quite fast, so it wasn't so easy to shoot them all down.
Now, they probably wouldn't come back to attack so quickly, right?
The biggest question now was, where did they come from? Lin had many Flyers exploring the desert, but she hadn't seen any caves outside the desert pit.
Maybe they hid the exit under the desert? It was possible, but it would be very difficult to find, and there was no way to know how many exits there were.
Lin ordered the Bombers to start dissecting the dead Sandblast Worms to see if they could find any clues from their bodies that could lead them to the next target.
Lin dissected one of the Sandblast Worms, the one that was pierced by the Body Piercer. Lin used the Body Piercer to synthesize the Brain Reader inside its body. When the Brain Reader was devouring its brain, she discovered that the Sandblast Worm's head had two tentacles that were directly connected to its brain. They were using this to receive signals.
This was probably a signal sent by the 'leader' of the Inca swarm. Perhaps they could use this to find the leader's location. Lin used the Brain Reader to connect the two tentacles and began to receive information.
Just like the Brain Worm, this was a signal that was similar to electricity. Lin had done some research on signals recently, and they were all related to electricity. Now that Lin's Brain Reader could clearly read the signals, Lin could also use the electrical signals to see how the leader commanded each of the Sandblast Worms' limbs.
The moment the tentacles connected, the electrical current flowed into the Brain Reader's body. It seemed that the Sandblast Worms could still receive signals even after death. But what was this feeling?
What Lin received wasn't just one signal, but many, at least a few hundred of them. They were all jumbled up and unclear, so Lin couldn't convert them into signals to command the limbs.
The sandstorm in the desert was particularly strong. Could it be that the sandstorm caused the signals to be wrong? Lin tried to adjust the Brain Reader. Perhaps the connection method was wrong. At this time, the signals were getting closer and closer …
It seemed to be nearby. Could it be that the leader was very close … It seemed to be … only about a hundred meters away.
Lin had the Brain Reader connect to the Sandblast Worm's eyeball and quickly devoured it clean to create an eyeball of its own to observe the outside environment.
Under the sandstorm. The visibility was only about thirty meters. Lin could feel that the signals were slowly approaching this range.
… It appeared!
Within the sandstorm. A huge worm walked out. It wasn't the leader, but … a Sandblast Worm?
What was going on? Why did it receive a signal from the other Sandblast Worm? Shouldn't the leader send the signal?
Moreover, there was more than one signal. Within the sandstorm, three more Sandblast Worms appeared one after another. There were a total of thirty of them, several times more than before.
Apart from that. There were also quite a few small insects moving around under their bodies. They looked like spiders, but were only a meter long.
The Sandblast Worms lined up in a row and turned their abdomens towards the direction of the Twisted Jungle. At the same time, they swallowed a large amount of sand and their abdomens slowly expanded.
Were they planning to start the second round of attack? The Inca swarm … As expected, they didn't plan to fight underground, but on the ground.
This time, the Sandblast Worms were different. After their abdomens expanded to a certain extent, they quickly shrank back. Then, with a bang, a huge ball of sand suddenly shot out.
The huge ball of sand was shot over three hundred meters away. It directly hit the Twisted Tree outside the forest. The powerful impact caused the entire tree to tremble violently.
Lin had the eyeball on the tree look at the place where the ball of sand hit the tree. Large pieces of bark were peeled off, revealing the structure of the tree. The power of the ball of sand was really strong. The Sandblast Worms probably used their muscles to compress the sand they swallowed, then used some kind of liquid to solidify it before shooting it out. It was almost as hard and powerful as a rock.
If this happened a few more times, the trunk of the Twisted Tree might be broken. There were thirty Sandblast Worms now, and they were all swallowing sand. Their abdomens were getting bigger and bigger.
"Woo …" Suddenly, a Sandblast Worm let out a violent cry. Under its body, a sharp thorn pierced into its abdomen.
This attack interrupted the shooting of one Sandblast Worm, but the other Sandblast Worms still successfully shot out the huge ball of sand. They hit the trees outside the Twisted Forest and made a series of loud noises. Three of the balls of sand hit the trunk of a tree at the same time. The powerful impact caused the trunk of the tree to break. The 50-meter-tall Twisted Tree creaked violently as it fell to the side.
At this time, the arachnids under the Sandblast Worms' feet started to gather under the abdomens of the Sandblast Worms that were pierced. They started to dig from the thorns. It only took them a few seconds to dig to the location of the Sandblast Worms. Then, the group of spiders rushed up and used their sharp teeth to tear at the Sandblast Worms' bodies.
So the spiders were used to dig out the Sandblast Worms?
The Sandblast Worms' carapaces were extremely strong, but they couldn't move when surrounded by spiders. These spiders could also secrete a dissolving liquid that could slowly corrode the Sandblast Worms' carapaces.
Looks like I'll have to try the Air Force.
At this time, a large number of Bombers gathered again. They had previously returned to the floating green carpet to replenish their energy. Now that they had finished replenishing, they gathered above the Sandblast Worms and threw countless bombs down.
Despite the strong sandstorm, the Sandblast Worms seemed to know the Bombers' attack. They immediately raised their abdomens and aimed at the sky. Countless small balls of sand instantly shot out. They collided with a large number of bombs, causing a series of banging sounds to resound in the sky.
Although the small balls of sand didn't fly high enough, they successfully intercepted a large number of bombs thrown by the Bombers. Only a small number of bombs landed on the Sandblast Worms, so they didn't cause any damage to them.
At this time, Lin heard a lot of noises coming from around the Bombers. Countless Exploding Armors rushed out from the clouds in all directions and crashed into the Bombers. With a series of explosions, both the Bombers and the Exploding Armors were reduced to dust.
There were also a lot of Exploding Armor that rushed towards the ground. The moment the Sandblast Worm spat out the sand ball, the sand ball suddenly burst into flames and turned into a huge fireball. With the help of Exploding Armor, dozens of huge fireballs flew towards the Flickering Woodland.
The Glittering Forest was once again turned into a sea of fire …
What an interesting tactic …
Looking at the burning Glittering Forest, Lin commented on the Inca Worms.
Then, it's time to counterattack. Floating astronomy.
