Bab 258: Chapter 257
The ocean filled with ashes began to sway restlessly. Amidst the water and dust, a gigantic creature hidden in the ocean slowly rose.
It was a gigantic creature. At first glance, it appeared to be a gigantic beetle-type arthropod. Its body should be over thirty meters long. Its carapace was covered with blue circular patterns. Although it was smaller than the Earthbreaker, it was still bigger than the Deepsand Bus. Lin still didn't know if it was the same creature as the locusts, but the water just now was obviously spurted out by it. Moreover, it seemed to be preparing for a second shot.
There was a round hole in the creature's head. Lin could hear gurgling sounds coming from inside. The frequency of the sounds grew faster and faster. When it reached its peak, a huge water ball shot out from the top of the creature's head and smashed heavily into Bechymos' body.
The powerful impact of the water ball's explosion caused Bechymos to slightly tilt its body. The splashing seawater caused the flames on its body to start extinguishing. This method of attacking by spraying water was indeed very unique, even though it wasn't very powerful.
The locusts had fled far away due to suffocation. It could be said that this was a battle between gigantic creatures, right?
Well then, let's have a taste of this art called combustion!
Bechymos charged towards the creature that emerged from the surface of the ocean. The two cannons on its abdomen were aimed at it at the same time. Two huge pillars of fire shot out. The scorching flames caused the creature to cry out in pain. The creature immediately dove into the water to avoid the pillars of fire.
As expected, using fire at sea wasn't a good idea. Bechymos stopped spurting fire and rose to the sky. Lin discovered that although the flames were very powerful, they were consumed rather quickly. The amount of liquid consumed during the spraying and the burning locusts was close to 50%. It seemed that it was better to use this method of attack only occasionally. Or perhaps find a way to quickly replenish the liquid.
The flames on Bechymos' body were more or less extinguished. Bechymos' entire body wasn't on fire. Its head and tail weren't. If all of them were on fire, it would be very difficult to maintain the temperature of its body.
At this moment, the creature emerged from the water again. It looked at Bechymos high up in the sky. Its water ball couldn't reach this position. Then, it made another strange move.
The blue circular patterns on its back suddenly began to swell. It was like a ball filled with gas.
As it turned out, those were not ordinary stripes. Upon closer inspection, Lin discovered that they were actually membrane-like objects. Each of them was about a meter in diameter. When they expanded to their limit, the membrane-like objects suddenly exploded. From the explosion of the membrane-like objects, a large number of locusts flew out!
So that's how it was. It was indeed related to locusts. It seemed to be a 'queen', responsible for producing locusts?
In that case … Let's call it 'Locust Lord'.
A large swarm of locusts flew out and kept making beeping noises. The noise could be transmitted over a considerable distance. The locusts that were originally fleeing in the distance once again flew over after hearing the noise. The oxygen level in the air slowly recovered. Once again, they surrounded Bechymos in a swarm attack.
But before that, an explosive bomb flew into the midst of the locusts ….
.. and..
BOOM!!!
Under the powerful shockwave, the fragile bodies of countless locusts were instantly crushed and torn apart. Their internal organs and blood gushed out from their eyes and mouths. The explosion lasted less than a second. But in that instant, it created an uncountable number of corpses. Corpses rained down on the surface of the sea again. Their blood dyed the surface of the sea a strange color.
The fungus in the locusts' bodies was also spilled into the sea. But even with a large number of corpses piling up on the surface of the sea, the fungus couldn't grow.
Lin had noticed before that this fungus couldn't grow in the sea, which was why they attacked the island. But the 'Locust Lord', the queen of the locusts, was a creature adapted to the sea. It was a strange feeling.
Under the explosion of the 'Art Creator', a large number of locusts were killed by the shockwave because they were too densely packed. But there were still some at the back that didn't die. Under such a terrifying death, they didn't dare to attack again. Instead, they scattered and fled.
Lin immediately ordered the Bombers to chase after them. They couldn't let any of the locusts go. This fungus was a disaster wherever it went. It was even more terrifying on the mainland. Unless there were powerful creatures like the Inca swarm, ordinary creatures really couldn't do anything about it. They could only wait for death.
The Locust Overlord was located beneath Bechymos. Although the shockwave had also affected the area, it did not cause much damage to this gigantic creature due to the distance between them. It only blew away the locusts it released.
But now, the Locust Lord had the same idea as its swarm – escape.
It immediately dived into the water before Bechymos could make a move. Lynn noticed that it seemed to be moving forward by paddling. The creature's huge hind legs allowed it to dive into the depths of the sea rapidly. Its figure soon disappeared from the surface of the sea without a trace.
But it couldn't escape.
In the depths of the sea, a creature even bigger than the Locust Lord began to move. It rushed out from the ground at high speed and crashed into the Locust Lord's abdomen before its target could dodge. At the same time, it pushed the Locust Lord towards the surface of the sea.
* Boom! *
The surging sea suddenly exploded. Countless splashes of water scattered everywhere. The Pioneer's head was pushing against the Locust Lord's abdomen as it rushed out of the sea. Under the Pioneer's drill-like head, internal organs, blood, and fragments spilled out continuously. Under the Pioneer's drilling, the Locust Lord's body finally broke into two and fell into the sea.
The huge creature no longer moved. Lin ordered the Pioneer's subordinate worms to start devouring the creature's corpse and decompose its structure.
At this time, Lin's Bombers had also found the escaping locusts and were preparing to kill them in large numbers with explosives.
Meanwhile, Bechymos returned to the island and cooperated with the remaining troops. They used the remaining half of the burning liquid to burn away the remaining fungus on the island …
These things continued until the light of the day rose …
Was it all … over?
It wasn't over.
Even after killing all the locusts, burning away the fungus, and completely decomposing the Locust Lord's corpse, Lin didn't feel any 'sympathy' …
Was it because the fungus dust in the air hadn't been cleaned? This might be difficult to do.
