Bab 149: Chapter 148
Spring. Under the night sky, countless stars formed a galaxy that sprinkled down endless radiance, illuminating the endless forest of vines and ferns that covered the desert.
It was a cloudless night. Countless Aztec worms covered the vines and ferns. Their numbers were uncountable, and they covered an area of over a kilometer in diameter. These worms appeared to have been starving for 400 days and nights, and were constantly gnawing on the plants. Even though some worms had their abdomens swollen several times their original size, they didn't stop gnawing on the plants. It was as though they were determined to turn this new forest into a desert.
They were like a black ocean. Wherever they went, the greenery would dissipate, turning into a desert of sand and dust.
However, at this moment, the top of their heads was covered by a black shadow …
"Caw …!" Some of the Aztec worms that were gnawing on the vines raised their heads and issued a sharp cry towards the sky. A large number of strange creatures were flying above their heads.
Hybrid Bombers.
These shark-like creatures that were up to 3 meters long flew with air sacs on both sides of their bodies. When the air sacs expanded, their entire body would be up to 5 meters wide. Each of them only carried 3 bombs. However, due to their unique organs, they were able to rapidly secrete dissolving fluid and integrate cells to produce large amounts of new bombs. This was why Lin called them 'Hybrid Bombers'.
There were over 300 of them, and they were extremely suitable to clean up this large area of Aztec worms.
The Hybrid Bombers opened up the bomb ports on their abdomens, and countless bombs whizzed down from hundreds of meters in the sky. When they hit the ground, a violent boom instantly resounded through the night sky of the desert.
The dissolving liquid from the explosion splattered into the surroundings. In a flash, it was able to corrode hundreds of small Aztec worms in the vicinity. Furthermore, with the assistance of the shockwave, With the help of the shockwave, all that was left of them were the remnants of their shells.
Under the bombardment. The Aztec worms collapsed. They shrieked as they fled. The black ocean that was gnawing on the vines and ferns was instantly thrown into chaos. At this moment, the second round of bombs was released.
Seeing death descending from the sky, the Aztec worms seemed to feel fear. They attempted to hide in the nearby ferns or burrow into the sand, spreading out to avoid the bombardment.
It had to be said that their method was rather successful. The second round of bombs only managed to blast away a small number of Aztec worms. They were able to successfully disperse and reduce the damage dealt to them. However …
These bombs did not emit shockwaves of compressed air. They simply sputtered liquid. At the places where the bombs exploded, some small units crawled out of the liquid.
The 'Fusers' were small creatures that were 10 cm long, had cysts the size of balls, and could move quickly with 6 limbs. They were specially created by Lin. They would be mixed in with the pure liquid explosives, and there would usually be about 10 of them per bomb. They crawled out after the bomb exploded, and the first thing they did when they appeared was to quickly absorb the scattered particles around them without hitting the enemy. The wasted dissolved liquid was absorbed by the skin, so the absorption speed was quite fast. They would quickly absorb it and expand to about twice their size.
Next, they would charge towards the nearby Aztec worms that were hiding in the vicinity!
The Fusers were very small. When the Aztec worms saw an opponent of similar size charging towards them, they fearlessly opened their jaws and bit forward. Their sharp, serrated jaws easily cut open the Fuser's skin, but the liquid inside the Fuser's body burst out and splashed onto the Aztec worm's head, leaving a deep wound that exposed flesh.
The corroded Aztec worm screamed miserably and retreated. At this moment, dozens of Aztec worms surrounded it. They raised their jaws and bit at different parts of the Fuser's body.
'Boom!' The Fuser's body swelled up in an instant, and then it exploded violently. Powerful dissolved liquid splashed onto the Aztec worms, and countless cracks appeared on their carapaces. Blood and large amounts of cells gushed out from the cracks …
Although the Fusers had the ability to self-destruct, they could also use the nozzles on their heads to spit out dissolved liquid. When facing a small number of Aztec worms, they would directly attack them with acid, but when facing a large number of Aztec worms, they would self-destruct.
The Aztec worms now knew that they couldn't touch the Fusers. They decided to flee in different directions, but at this moment, a large number of bombs fell from the sky …
Lin had no intention of letting them go.
The exploding bombs melted countless Aztec worms, and the Fusers that crawled out of the bombs killed the worms that hid better. Moreover, the Fusers had gnawed the nearby ferns into a desert. There were no good hiding spots at all.
After firing three rounds of bombs, the Bomber began to create new bombs in its body. On the surface, a large number of Fusers continued their hunt. They chased after the fleeing Aztec worms and corroded them with their liquid, leaving behind countless rotten carapaces and corpses. At this moment, Lin heard a tremor coming from underground.
Is it here? So it's here too. I wonder if it's the one that escaped.
The ground that was filled with insect carapaces and dissolved liquid suddenly exploded, and a huge Deepsand Bus rushed out from underground.
The Deepsand Bus first glanced at its surroundings, then turned its gaze to the bombers in the sky. Lin could sense that it was feeling a kind of emotion called anger.
It was a good emotion, but what could it do?
Lying on the ground, the Deepsand Bus opened up all the plates on its body and released a large number of flying Aztec insects. The black mass of insects rapidly flew towards the Bombers in the sky.
It was these insects again. Lin was now certain that there were only four types of Aztec insects: the Deep Sand Bus, the Small Land Type, the Large Land Type, and the Flying Type. Judging from their repeated appearances, there weren't too many types of Aztec insects.
Although these little bugs were strong, the Fusers were different from the snipers. They were not used for hunting, but for war. Of course, they would have all kinds of preparations.
The Fusers closed the rear of the Fusers and slowly opened up a crack on their heads. Some special types of Aztec worms flew out from the crack.
The 'Flysaws' were a type of Aztec worm that Lin had created in the sea a long time ago. They were disc-shaped with a diameter of 1 metre, and had a sharp sawtooth blade on the edge of their bodies. They could rapidly spin in the air to kill enemies.
A large number of Flysaws rushed into the Aztec swarm. The high-speed spinning blades sliced through the Aztec worms in half in an instant. As they spun, countless Aztec worms were sliced into halves. They fell from the sky and landed on the back of the Deepsand Bus.
Some of the Aztec worms attacked the Flysaws with dissolved liquid, but Lin's Flysaws' carapaces were specially solidified and had anti-corrosive properties. They weren't so easily damaged.
The flysaws slaughtered the Aztec worms, but the Aztec worms couldn't deal any effective damage to the flysaws. They quickly decided to retreat and scatter into the surroundings. However, the flysaws didn't let them go, and were determined to exterminate every last one of them.
After the Aztec worms escaped, the Fusers continued to throw down large amounts of bombs. The explosions echoed along with the splattering of worm corpses.
The Deepsand Bus seemed to have released all the flying bugs in its body. It could only roar at the Fusers in the sky. There was nothing it could do.
Lin let some of the Fusers fly to its head and aimed a large number of bombs at its head.
The Deepsand Bus cried out in pain from the splattering dissolved liquid and the impact of the explosions. Although it wasn't easy for the bombs to melt through the Deepsand Bus, the acidic smell that spread in the air was enough to make it feel painful and uncomfortable.
In fact, the area that was bombed was now filled with the strange acidic smell of dissolved liquid. Although it wasn't harmful, large amounts of it could corrode the breathing holes and even suffocate creatures.
The Deepsand Bus couldn't stand the smell and finally dug back into the ground. Now, only the small Aztec worms were left on the surface. They couldn't stand steadily in the acidic smell, and some of them couldn't even move.
This effect was good. It gave the Fusers time to replenish their energy.
Although the Fusers could quickly assemble all kinds of bombs, they didn't have a lot of nutrients stored in their bodies. Therefore, Lin created a new type of troop called the 'Replenisher'.
The Replenisher was twice the size of the Fusers, and its shape was similar to the Fusers. The Replenisher usually flew above the Fusers. It didn't release bombs, but small green balls. These small balls were condensed from a large amount of nutrients and could float in the air.
When the Replenisher flew above the Fusers, it would release a large number of these small balls. The Fusers could eat these small balls to replenish their nutrients and continue producing bombs.
The Supplier also had another ability. It could release another sphere that could open up a floating green carpet, which could produce nutrients on its own. However, this ability did not seem to be suitable for use on the battlefield. After all, the absorption of light and the conversion of nutrients was not that fast.
When the Fusers finished replenishing themselves, it was time for Lin to clean up the mess.
Victory was indeed very simple.
The bombardment lasted for a long time. Lin had killed almost all the Aztec worms that were gnawing on the vine ferns. She couldn't have killed so many with only the bombs, but with the cooperation of the Fusers, the sweeping operation was quite successful. Now, only a few had escaped into the depths of the ferns. Lin didn't chase after them. They probably escaped back to their original territory. Moreover, these small creatures were rather troublesome to find in the complex ferns. They didn't have any special smell and were difficult to track down.
Bechymos was now above the Forest of Spires.
Looking at the familiar mossy forest, Lin had only one thought.
Boom!
