Chapitre 83: Chapter 83
… …..
What a peculiar sight. The little one would actually help the big one block the attack? Back when Lin was in the sea, she had only seen such cooperative battles between very few creatures.
While cooperation between single cells was a common sight, cooperation between multiple cells was rare. Most multicellular creatures would never meet each other except during their reproductive period. Lin Sanjiu never expected that there would be such cooperative creatures on land. Furthermore, the forest of spikes might be their doing.
A species that could grow plants and cooperate in battle …..
This made Lin think of ….. herself.
Lin decided to name them 'Aztec worms'.
Hmm? Lin Sanjiu subconsciously thought of a very peculiar name. It seemed to have a special meaning.
The smaller Aztecs were now crawling on top of the larger Aztecs. Even if they were illuminated by Lin's lantern, they wouldn't flee. Thus, the smaller Aztecs became her bodyguards, while the larger Aztecs were responsible for crushing Lin's Aztecs into pieces with their powerful jaws.
Whenever the leviathan fired its explosive shells, the little ones would immediately jump up to block them. The Aztec worms didn't have eyes, but it seemed that they possessed rather powerful sensory abilities.
However, the leviathan's cannons weren't limited to that. It had another method of attack known as' scattershot '.
Once again, the leviathan compressed the air it inhaled into its body and prepared a considerable number of small explosive shells. Before the next spikes could be crushed, the leviathan abruptly opened its cannons and unleashed a torrent of explosive shells!
Hundreds of explosive shells filled with dissolving liquid were fired towards the big one. One of the little ones on top of its head immediately jumped up and used its tiny body to block the incoming shells.
However, it only managed to block a small portion of the shells. Most of the shells struck the big one's body. Lin could now hear the unique hissing sound of the dissolving liquid dissolving the shell.
Under the lantern's light, Lin could also see numerous small holes on the big one's jet-black shell. These were all caused by the dissolving of the shells.
Due to the corrosive properties of seawater, the shells of sea creatures were generally resistant to corrosion. However, land creatures obviously didn't.
"Wuuu ….." The big one issued a heavy roar and continuously retreated. Lin noticed that the little ones on its body had unknowingly picked up some moss and applied it to the big one's wounds.
Wasn't the moss poisonous? Perhaps it wasn't poisonous to them. But it could actually heal them? What a strange creature.
Although Lin said that, she still didn't show any mercy. She immediately shot out more shotgun shells at Dumb Insect, killing all the insects that were trying to heal it. When Dumb Insect's heavily injured body was exposed, Lin ordered the assassin to attack it again.
A portion of the spikes could be shot out, and the tip of these spikes was filled with venom.
The assassins aimed at Dumb Insect's wounds and shot out these poisonous thorns. By calculating the direction of the wind, Lin was able to achieve a 100% accuracy rate.
Dumb Insect's wound was pierced by the stinger, it couldn't stand up anymore and fell to the ground.
Did he win?
The little bugs let out sharp screeches. They surrounded the big bug and hissed, unwilling to leave. However, they showed no signs of attacking.
What are they doing?
Lin was becoming more and more curious about the behavior of these creatures. Creatures that lived in groups were indeed different from those that lived alone.
"Buzz …"
Following the insects' cries, a strange sound rang out in the sky. It was as if … there were many creatures flying in the sky.
Was it a dragonfly? No … that was …
When the Leviathan shone the lantern into the sky, Lin saw something inconceivable. Many small flying insects about ten centimeters in size had filled the sky above the Leviathan. They were huge in number, but the most peculiar thing was that they looked exactly like Aztec insects, except that they had two wings on their backs that were similar to those of dragonflies.
These flying creatures were also Aztec insects?!
Division of labor … Lin had never seen such a situation in an organism that wasn't a unicellular organism. Normally, multicellular organisms were divided into male and female, but in reality, there wasn't much difference between the sexes. It was just that the reproductive cells they released were different.
However, there were already three types of Aztec insects. Although they looked similar, their body shape and movement were completely different. Most importantly, they could cooperate in battle.
These creatures were indeed very similar to Lin!
The flying insects circled in the sky. They didn't attack, but instead spit out some liquid from their tails. When the liquid dripped onto Leviathan's carapace, Lin could see a trace of green smoke rising from the carapace.
Dissolving liquid …
It was a type of dissolving liquid that Lin had never seen before. The anti-corrosive coating was made according to the type of dissolving liquid, and its structural composition was also a type of shell substance. It would be ineffective against untouched dissolving liquid.
Bang!
The Leviathan shot a large number of scattershot at the flying insects in the air. These insects were too small, and one or two of them were enough to kill them. Many of the flying insects fell because of this, but soon, more flying insects filled their positions.
There were too many of them, and the sound of their wings could be heard everywhere. Unlike the quiet dragonflies, these flying insects were especially noisy. Lin could only see a small part of them with the lantern.
The dissolving liquid continued to drip from the sky. The damage they caused was actually very small, and Lin could create a new anti-corrosive shell substance before they could melt through Leviathan's carapace.
However, at this moment, Lin heard the heavy footsteps again …
Those giant insects again? And … there were two of them?
I have to retreat.
When Lin's lantern shone on the two giant insects coming from different directions, she could only make this decision. The giant insect relied on pure strength to bite, and Lin had no confidence that she could resist it.
Leviathan began to turn around and retreat. The remaining assassins also scattered and ran. Lin noticed that the two giant insects were chasing after Leviathan, while the little insect and the flying insect split up and chased after each fleeing target.
The giant insect's speed was slightly slower than Leviathan's, probably because it was too heavy. If that was the case …
Leviathan aimed the cannons on its back at the giant insect and shot a large number of scattershot, but this time the situation was different.
Countless flying insects rushed in front of the giant insect. Because of their large numbers, they could almost perfectly block every single bullet, causing Lin's attack to be completely ineffective.
At this moment, Lin felt as if she was fighting herself. How did these strange creatures evolve?
Now was not the time to think about this.
The flying insects shot out large amounts of dissolving fluid, corroding Leviathan's outermost carapace. However, Lin had already created a new layer of anti-corrosive carapace. Lin was confident that this layer of carapace could resist the corrosive attacks of the flying insects.
Furthermore, the giant insect couldn't catch up to Leviathan. Thus, Lin's escape was only a matter of time. At that time, it would create an even stronger army to determine the victor.
Up ahead, a neat row of sharp pillars appeared under the illumination of Lin's lantern. That was the exit of the forest of sharp pillars. If she continued forward, she would reach the rocky ground in front of the coastal cliff.
Now, that was the only way. Compared to the desert without water, Lin was more willing to take a gamble and see if the seawater had recovered its temperature.
Without hesitation, Leviathan charged out of the wall of sharp pillars and arrived at the spacious rocky ground.
There were skeletons of fishes everywhere. Their flesh had long been devoured by scorpions and other creatures. Leviathan smashed through the skeletons of several flesh-finned fishes and charged towards the cliff.
The Aztec swarm followed closely behind. Unlike the first night, they didn't give up after a short chase. Instead, they chased until the end.
When the pursuit reached the middle of the rocky ground, a rumbling sound came from the ground. It was as if a gigantic creature was about to drill out from the ground. The entire rocky ground began to tremble.
It was the Misty Worm …
At this moment, a 'boom' resounded from the side. Leviathan shone the lantern in that direction, only to see a gigantic worm bursting out from the ground. Opening its gigantic mouth filled with barbed teeth, it bit onto the body of a large Aztec worm and dragged it back.
For a moment, Lin thought that the worm was with the Aztec worm, but it seemed like that wasn't the case.
However, before Lin could relax, the ground in front of Leviathan suddenly burst open. A gigantic worm rushed out from the ground and opened its huge mouth to bite Leviathan.
'Shit! There's no way I can dodge it! '
At this critical moment, Lin suddenly thought of a plan. She didn't order Leviathan to stop or dodge. Instead, she charged straight into the worm's huge mouth!
