Chapitre 82: Chapter 82
Darkness was slowly shrouding the forest. The creatures that were hiding in various places were getting restless. The night was their natural habitat.
Why they evolved to rely so much on darkness was still unknown, but Lin was ready to face them.
While waiting, Lin released a few Vanguards to observe the Forest of Spires and estimated the size of the area. From the rocky terrain near the cliff in the south to the desert in the north, it was only a short distance away. Lin then tried going east and west, and found that the Forest of Spires was a small area with a circumference of only a few dozen kilometers. Beyond that, there was either a desert or a dry rocky terrain with very few living creatures. During Lin's time there, she only saw a few tiny reptiles.
But the strangest thing was that the forest of sharp pillars was surrounded by a row of particularly tall pillars.
Lin recalled the flatfish that built the circle of boulders a hundred million years ago.
Lin was now convinced that the forest of sharp pillars was built by some creatures. It was impossible for it to be moss, it was probably a large group of animals.
They built a small world of their own on the barren land. What kind of creatures were they? Perhaps they only showed up at night.
The intelligence of these creatures was probably quite high, which was why they could come up with such a plan.
As for whether they were powerful or not, that was not necessarily the case. Intelligence was usually not related to power. In the water, the most intelligent creatures Lin had seen so far were not fishes or arthropods, but ammonites, arrowheads, and other soft creatures with shells.
They were very intelligent and knew how to use many strange abilities. They also had the largest brain size ratio, but they were not powerful creatures. There were many creatures that could eat them. From this, it could be seen that the intelligent creatures on land were not necessarily powerful. After all, their brains were separated from their cells' ability to think. No matter how smart they were, they could not combine their cells like Lin did. They could only use the abilities provided to them by their cells.
Even so, Lin had a bad feeling about this.
No matter what, if they wanted to survive here, they had to fight. Lin had already prepared a group of soldiers to surround the Leviathan, ready to face the unknown creatures in the night.
When night fell completely, the light of the stars once again shrouded the world. In the forest of sharp pillars, various strange noises could be heard.
The creatures of the night had also made their move. Leviathan's current position was the place where he had been surrounded by the small limbs. These creatures could also be the builders of the forest of spires. They were clearly creatures that lived in groups.
Lin's lantern could not shine on them. They were always avoiding the light, so Lin simply put away the lantern and waited for them to attack.
"Caw …"
It was the sound of the small limbs. Unlike before, these sounds came from a place far away and did not come to attack Leviathan.
Strange …
While Lin was puzzled, she suddenly received a pain signal in her mind!
It was not Leviathan or the surrounding troops that were being attacked, but the green carpet that was dozens of meters away!
This was the green carpet that Lin had made using the Transporter. It had already covered more than 90% of the pillar, and the moss on it had almost been completely devoured by the green carpet.
But now, the green carpet was under attack. Lin could feel something cutting the green carpet with a sharp blade-like object.
Lin did not make the green carpet carelessly. She had paid attention to the moss on the pillars before, and after confirming that there were no scars on them, she decided to make the green carpet to cover the pillars.
But now, the green carpet was being cut off piece by piece, but it was not dead. The sliced green carpet was thrown to the ground.
In other words … the attacker's goal was not to eat the green carpet?
Lin suddenly had a thought …
Perhaps the moss was specially placed on the green carpet by some creature … That's right, it was the creature that had built the forest of spires!
Many creatures in the sea had a certain relationship with plants. They carried the plants on their backs or let the plants grow on their skin to directly obtain nutrients. Lin had also raised some green cells in the past, but after she could photosynthesize, she stopped doing so.
She did not expect such a relationship to appear on land. The moss might have been 'planted' by some creature!
The green carpet itself was not protected by any unit, and because it did not have a breeding pod, it could not create any troops. The green carpet's needles were too slow and thin, so they were only suitable to deal with immobile creatures like moss.
Leviathan had to get there. Those creatures might cut off all the green carpet. Although the cut off green carpet was not dead, and could be easily replaced or recycled, Lin did not want to let those creatures go.
"Caw …"
The sound of the segmented creatures …
Just as Leviathan was about to move, countless similar sounds were heard around her.
Only now did they appear? Then let's deal with them first.
Just like the previous night, the segmented creatures fearlessly rushed up in the dark and surrounded Lin's troops.
Based on their habits, Lin had already prepared creatures to deal with them.
This type of troop was modified by the 'Invisible Ones'. Their disc-shaped body was 30 cm in diameter and covered in a carapace. There were many small holes on the carapace. When the small limbs lay on the carapace to bite them, the sharp thorns hidden in the small holes would suddenly protrude and pierce all the small limbs on the body!
These units were called 'Spiketeers.' When all the needles in their bodies protruded, they would become like hedgehogs. They could also retract their needles and pretend to be harmless to trick their opponents into biting them.
Right, what was a 'hedgehog'?
Whatever, it was probably something with a lot of needles.
Now, just like last time, the segmented creatures attacked after squeaking for a while, but this time, they first pounced on the Spiketeers around Leviathan.
The segmented creatures could not bite through the Spiketeers' carapace. When the segmented creatures were almost all over the Spiketeers, the Spiketeers suddenly protruded from their bodies and pierced the defenseless segmented creatures with their sharp ends.
Although she could not see clearly in the dark, she estimated that hundreds of segmented creatures had been killed in an instant. Lin could clearly smell the scent of blood splashing in the air.
The Spiketeers did not have barbs and could easily retract their needles. They retracted their needles and shook their bodies, causing a large number of segmented creatures to fall off their backs.
"Squeak …" There were still some squeaks nearby. It was obvious that they had not killed all of them, but the segmented creatures were already scared and did not dare to attack again.
This should be enough, right?
Lin only wanted to kill a portion of them to show them her strength, not kill them all.
Thud.
A heavy sound rang out, as if something huge was moving on the ground.
Lin knew that the segmented creatures were not the only ones in the dark. There were also some huge creatures.
Leviathan lit up the lantern and shone it in the direction of the sound.
Under the light, a two-meter-tall, four-meter-long segmented creature was walking towards them.
Its size wasn't what surprised Lin, but rather the fact that it looked exactly the same as the smaller creatures. Moreover, it was indeed a group of smaller creatures. Lin could see many of the smaller creatures crawling onto this big creature's body.
Were the segmented creatures just larvae?
The large arthropod rushed over with heavy steps. It used its huge, jagged jaws to crush an arthropod in one bite.
What a strong bite. Lin had already prepared something to deal with the large creatures …
Leviathan aimed its head at the target. After the modification, the Leviathan's jet system no longer shot water, but compressed the air it inhaled. It could be called an air cannon.
As the air was compressed, Lin opened the jet and the air inside would explode.
Its power and speed were much stronger than before. Most importantly, it did not waste water.
With a bang, the bomb flew towards the target's head at an extremely fast speed.
Pop!
The bomb exploded, but it did not hit the target. A segmented creature suddenly jumped down from its head before the big one was hit and blocked the bomb.
Although the segmented creature was blown apart, thanks to the segmented creature, the big one was almost unharmed.
… …..
Thank you! How can a divine ability defeat fate?
