Bab 91: Chapter 91
Lin named the location of the captured hunter as the second layer of the Twisted Jungle. At the bottom of the jungle, there was a vast area of glowing moss, soil, and plant remains, while the second layer was a whole new world.
Following the trunk of the twisted tree for about 10 meters, one would reach the second layer. The environment here was full of thick and twisted tree trunks that intersected with one another, like countless dancing tentacles. Their growth was irregular, and even at night, this place was completely shrouded in darkness, not a single ray of light could reach this place.
In this dark and complex environment, the flyer's abdomen lit up and flew towards the target location.
Here, there were twisted tree trunks everywhere, the thinnest one was at least a meter wide, enough for the hunter to crawl on, but if it was a Leviathan, there was no way.
The captured hunter had already been eaten by 30%. The hunter's way of eating was to chew with its sharp teeth, it didn't seem to secrete any substances such as dissolving fluid.
What kind of creature is that? Perhaps it's a creature Lin recognized, such as a cockroach. There were some small scavenging species of cockroaches, but the largest among them was the most powerful predator Lin had seen in this jungle.
Only by seeing it would one know.
The flyer quickly flew along the trunk, aiming at the place where Lin felt the pain. In the dark environment, one or two small flying insects would occasionally approach, but after a few shakes, they quickly flew away without a trace.
Lin didn't see any large creatures, but at this time, she was already close to the location of the creature.
Hm? The gnawing pain stopped?
Lin felt that the captured hunter had been half-eaten, but it didn't continue to be eaten, instead, it was thrown to the side.
What a waste. But if other creatures had too many fat cells, it would affect their overall mobility, but even if Lin's energy was saturated, she could still solidify the food into a ball and store it. Because Lin would kill all the nearby scavenging bacteria, the food would never rot.
However, this was a chance, Lin might be able to use the leftover hunter to defeat the creature.
Lin immediately had the hunter's wound begin to coagulate, preventing blood from flowing out and other bacteria from entering. At the same time, the hunter's body began to undergo drastic changes.
First, the cells and organ structures began to dissolve, allowing the basic cells in the body to absorb the dissolved nutrients and begin to proliferate. These basic cells then began to combine into countless new organisms.
The only thing left of the Hunter was its abdomen, but it just so happened that the abdomen was the largest part of the Hunter's body, so there was enough space and nutrients for Lin to completely reconstruct it.
Through the transformation and combination of basic cells, a group of new creatures could be created in a short period of time. Lin mainly designed them based on a type of ferocious flying insect that was commonly seen in the vicinity, hence she named them Mad Bees.
Now, the flyers outside also found the Hunter's location. There was a hole in the tree trunk with a diameter of more than one meter. The hole was very shallow, and Lin could only see the half-eaten Hunter. There were no other creatures nearby.
Did he leave? Judging from the size of the cave, the creature should not be big. It was most likely a cockroach.
This voice is …
The flyers heard the sound of crawling nearby. Not far away, a creature covered in carapace climbed up the tree trunk. It was more than a meter long, and under the flyers' illumination, its carapace glowed with a silver light.
So it's a beetle, but this color ….. it's a species I've never seen before. Let's call it a Silver Beetle.
The Silver Beetle crawled along the twisted trunk into the tree hole. The tentacles on its head waved, as if it was searching for something. Finally, it locked onto the remains of the Hunter and began to gnaw on it.
From the looks of it, it doesn't seem to be the original owner of this tree hole. It just followed the scent here.
Forget it, let's kill it first.
The Silver Beetle gnawed out a sizable wound on the Hunter's abdomen. Normally, this would cause a large amount of blood to flow out, but it didn't eat anything. As the Silver Beetle waved its tentacles in puzzlement, countless creatures suddenly poured out from the wound!
The Frenzy Bees were only about two centimeters in size, but there were many of them. They could attack with their blade-like jaws, and they could also spray a large amount of acid from their abdomen like the Aztec Beetles.
This seemed to be the first time the Silver Beetle encountered such a phenomenon. It was a little stunned, and before it could react, the Frenzy Bees had already crawled all over its body.
The Frenzy Bees' fangs were used to deal with targets with soft armor. To deal with targets with thick armor, they had to use dissolving liquid. All arthropods had holes in their bodies, and they had degenerated into gills in water.
The Frenzy Bees found holes on both sides of the Silver Beetle's abdomen. Just as Lin was about to let them spray the acid, the Silver Beetle's abdomen suddenly swelled up, and a large amount of liquid was sprayed out before Lin could.
Bang! When the Silver Beetle sprayed out, there was an extremely loud sound. Lin immediately felt the Frenzy Bees blocking the spout being hit by the high-temperature liquid, and they were blown away by the impact.
Lin ordered the Frenzy Bees to quickly disperse, and some of them went to look for the ones that were sprayed. Lin quickly found their corpses around the tree hole. The Frenzy Bees' bodies were almost completely melted, and their remains were covered with a layer of black liquid that was constantly emitting green smoke.
This was … a cannon?
Lin felt a little incredulous. The Silver Beetle's attack was very similar to that of the Leviathan's cannon. It compressed some kind of energy in its body and then sprayed it out.
What's more, this Silver Beetle didn't spray bombs, but a high-temperature dissolving liquid.
How did these creatures evolve to such a degree? It was really hard to imagine. Not to mention how it managed to preserve such a high-temperature liquid in its body, Lin had never seen any other creature capable of this except herself. Moreover, the impact was quite powerful, much more powerful than the normal pressure spray method.
Lin couldn't let it go. She had to catch it and dissect it. Although Lin could assemble various types of troops, she relied heavily on learning from other creatures.
Bang! The silver beetle then sprayed out a huge amount of liquid from the side of its body towards the swarm of Mad Bees flying in the tree hole. Dozens of Mad Bees fell from the tree hole. The high-temperature liquid instantly destroyed their body structure and dissolved them into pieces of residue.
In the face of such powerful firepower, the Frenzy Bees didn't retreat. Instead, they moved forward and surrounded the Silver Beetle again, spraying the dissolving liquid on it. At the same time, they searched for a place to bite. Lin wanted to kill the Silver Beetle at all costs.
However, the Silver Beetle's armor was abnormally sturdy. Perhaps because it was used to spraying high-temperature acid, its resistance to acid was extremely high. The Frenzy Bees' attacks were completely ineffective. Under its continuous bombardment, less than a hundred of the Frenzy Bees were left.
The remaining Frenzy Bees couldn't pose any threat, and the Silver Beetle couldn't hit them. So, it simply ignored the remaining Frenzy Bees and ate the remains of the Frenzy Bees that had been shot down.
What should she do? If the Frenzy Bees were useless, she could only let the other troops or the Leviathan do it, but it was too late now.
The Silver Beetle ate very quickly. After eating the remains, it crawled out of the tree hole.
Lin ordered the Frenzy Bees and the glowing Flyer to follow it immediately. The Silver Beetle crawled on the twisted tree trunk for a while, then suddenly stopped and lay there motionless.
Lin's Frenzy Bees flew around its head a few times, but the Silver Beetle didn't react at all.
Was it resting? So it didn't have a nest, so it just slept like this?
But … this was just right, because the place where the silver beetle was resting was right above Leviathan's cave.
Although the Leviathan was too heavy to climb up, … as long as the Silver Beetle went down, everything would be fine.
The Leviathan walked out of the cave. Lin extended her eyeball feelers and looked up. She could vaguely see the Flyer's light between the twisted tree trunks.
It was about 30 meters away …
The Leviathan constructed a thin, flexible cell thread in its body. At the end was a barbed spike, just long enough to reach the Silver Beetle above.
The Leviathan aimed the cannon at the target, and with the pressure of the air, the Leviathan shot the spike out!
The Leviathan couldn't shoot the spike so high, and the spike couldn't penetrate the Silver Beetle's armor, so Lin made some special gadgets.
The hook was equipped with small wings. Even if it lost the momentum of the cannon, it could still fly a long distance. The hook with wings flew to the front of the silver beetle on the tree trunk. It flew to its mouth and poked its closed jaws.
After Lin poked it a few more times, the silver beetle finally woke up. It bit the hook and swallowed it without hesitation.
It took the bait!
After making sure that the spike was hooked on the soft part of the Silver Beetle's mouth, the Leviathan immediately pulled the Silver Beetle down from the tree!
