Bab 175: Chapter 174
"Fighting isn't necessary. If we can communicate and live together peacefully, we'll be able to grow stronger together. Too much fighting and too much harm is meaningless."
The headworm had been constantly observing the situation of the battle. Every second, a comprehensive image of the battle would be displayed. After the battle in the Flickering Forest ended, it told Lin this.
The headworm's tribe didn't seem to like fighting, but they did manage to defeat the Aztec insects. Regarding this, the headworm replied: "The Aztec insects are ignorant and refuse to communicate. Only destruction is possible. By communicating, we can learn from each other and develop together. Since the enemy is too powerful, we should avoid war."
… Communication?
Lin had considered many things before, including various troop combinations, as well as how to defeat the enemy. However, the only thing that Lin had never considered was communication.
Speaking of which, Lin's communication with the headworm was also a coincidence. Lin's memories were still quite clear, and when she first discovered the headworm, Lin only wanted to study it. Because the Brain Reader wasn't fully developed yet, and Lin wanted to understand its thoughts, she decided to 'communicate' with it.
Communicating with a species … was actually a very special feeling. Sharing knowledge with a species and all kinds of thoughts was really interesting.
However, was it possible for Lin to communicate with the Incan insects now?
No.
That was the only word in Lin's mind.
Lin's goal wouldn't change. Currently, the army gathered on the Rocky Plateau had begun to advance. Lin had made countless preparations, not to communicate with the Incan insects … but to destroy them.
[Why do you refuse to communicate? Maya, I'm worried about Lin's decision.]
Seeing Lin's army begin to move, the headworm asked again.
[Incan insects. Peace. Impossible.]
Lin simply replied to the headworm's question. The relationship between them was quite complicated. Even with the Brain Reader, it was quite troublesome to explain.
When Lin used the Brain Reader to occupy the Sandblast Worm's head, she was able to sense some of their thoughts from the signals she received.
Although she only received intermittent signals at the time, Lin could sense that the Incan insects' thoughts … were quite strange. More accurately, their way of thinking was similar to Lin's. Unlike common creatures like the headworm, Lin didn't know how to describe them in detail, nor did she know how to communicate with them.
Every single Inca bug had a fully functioning brain. If there was a leader, the brain would more or less degenerate. For example, in the army of the Brain Bugs, other than the queen having a few brain cells, the rest were just 'receivers'.
Furthermore, when Lin received the message, she found that it was coming from the other insects around her, not the leader hiding in a faraway place. Now, Lin could confirm that the Inca insect swarm did not have a 'leader'. However, unlike Lin's continuous transmission of information, they still required electrical current, sound, and other means to transmit information.
It was as if every living creature had its own set of thoughts. This situation was more common among social creatures, such as sharks. Although they were of the same species, individuals would show different thoughts and habits. Lin called this' personality '.
However, the Inca Zerg were highly specialized creatures, so it was impossible for such a situation to occur. Normally, creatures with personalities would not cooperate well even if they lived in groups, not to mention evolving into so many different types of soldiers.
In short, the Inca Zerg were very strange creatures, so their way of thinking was unpredictable. For example, when they suddenly appeared to destroy Maya's colony, blew up the passage, and so on. Lin didn't know what they were going to do, nor did she know how to communicate with them.
At this moment, Lin's army had reached the edge of the rift valley.
Lin's army directly walked through the rift valley that was tens of meters wide. Lin had already laid out a 'silk bridge' on top of the rift valley. Lin had already analyzed the composition of the spider silk. She found that the composition was completely provided from food, and was actually quite similar to the composition of cells of ordinary creatures. How did the lava spiders use such a strange method to create such powerful silk? Lin had never thought that these familiar substances could be pieced together to create such a powerful substance.
Lin should indeed go and excavate fossils to understand how those creatures evolved. Although Lin usually learned from other creatures to evolve, she also relied on her own imagination. If she had a rich imagination, she might be able to create some incomparably powerful soldiers.
The 'bridge' formed from spider threads was over thirty meters wide and thirty centimeters thick. It wouldn't be a problem for Lin to place ten Bechymos on top of it to remove the buoyancy. The powerful loading capacity was enough to carry Lin's army through the rift.
After passing through the rift, Lin stepped onto the barren rocky ground. The small creatures that she would occasionally see had all gone into hiding due to the appearance of Lin's army. Creatures would always feel fear towards something incomparably large, even if they had never seen it before. It was a rather interesting feeling.
The Inca Zerg didn't react to Lin's army at all. Did they lack effective detection methods? Currently, within the territory of the Inca Zerg, they were still carrying out their daily activities. Although Lin had many Flyers to observe them, she didn't notice any suspicious movements, such as secretly dispatching troops.
Lin's army had already passed through the barren rocky ground and was approaching the 'border' formed by the Death Spikes.
Under the cultivation of the Inca Zerg, these carnivorous plants had become much thicker than before. Even so, they couldn't stop Lin's advance.
Lin's army was a mix of many different types of soldiers, including the commonly used Cannoneer and Disintegrator, as well as many new types of soldiers. At the same time, they included air and ground units. At the same time, they had also specially prepared many explosives, including Lin's favorite 'Art Creator'.
The Leviathan flew out from the army and aimed the cannon on top of its head at the wall formed by the Death Spikes.
Boom!!!
Under the violent impact, a huge gap appeared in the wall formed by the Inca Zerg. A large number of Death Spikes were cut in half by the shockwave. The carnivorous plants that were tens of meters tall fell to the ground with a loud bang. Large amounts of red liquid spurted out from the broken parts of the Death Spikes, dyeing the surrounding ground red like fresh blood.
Charge!
Under Lin's train of thought. A large number of troops charged into the territory of the Inca Zerg. Lin's vanguard was a large group of small soldiers called 'Predators'. They were one meter long, and among the six limbs on their bodies, the front two pairs of limbs were blade-like, and there were two more blade-like claws on their backs. This group of predators was light and fast. Because of their simple body structure, they could be created very quickly, so there were many of them. Their main purpose was to clean up the enemy's ordinary soldiers and troops. At the same time, they could also be used to attract the enemy's firepower and so on. In short, they were a type of 'cannon fodder'.
'Cannon fodder'? She seemed to have discovered a new and interesting word.
They charged into the territory of the Inca Zerg and began attacking any Inca Zerg within, opening a path for Lin's army.
In the forest behind the Death Spikes, Lin discovered a large number of Black Wasps and some fat insects that they often brought with them. Seeing this, the Predators immediately charged forward and used their claws to tear apart the Black Wasps and fat insects.
The Black Wasps screamed as they ran. As they ran deeper into the Fern Forest, the Predators followed closely behind and tore apart the Black Wasps. Lin wouldn't let any of them escape.
As they chased after the Black Wasps, Lin's army slowly entered the Inca Zerg's territory through the blasted tunnel. Because there were too many of them, it would take some time for them to enter. Although Lin could blow up a few more tunnels, she didn't want to damage the Death Spikes too much.
The Black Wasps didn't seem to know how to fight. Even if they were torn apart or cut apart by the Predators, they could only run. Lin thought that they would use their small size to try and kill the Predators.
The Black Wasps weren't running towards the Hometree. Instead, they were running towards an open area in the forest. The Predators chased after them without hesitation. They rushed into the open area and used their claws to cut and pierce all the Black Wasps in their path.
"Crack!"
A huge mound suddenly rose from the ground in the center of the clearing. At the same time, countless cracks appeared on the ground due to the rise of the mound. All the Black Wasps drilled into the cracks, trying to avoid the attack of the predator.
The ground kept shaking. It was obvious that something huge was about to emerge from the ground. However, the Predators didn't retreat. They surrounded the mound and used their claws to dig at it.
Bam!
After a loud bang, the mound exploded. Many of the Predators were sent flying tens of meters away. Most of them crashed into the ferns at the edge of the open area. Their bodies were smashed into pieces by the impact.
From the mound, a pair of huge curved jaws filled with sawtooth appeared. Then, a huge worm head appeared.
Lin recognized this creature. It was the Earth Splitter, the ultimate army of the Maya Zerg!
The Inca Zerg might have used a method similar to reviving fossils to 'steal' the Maya Earth Splitter. This Earth Splitter was even bigger than the one Lin saw in the Hometree. Its jaws alone were nine meters long. Most of its body was still buried in the ground. Lin couldn't estimate how big it was.
The Predators rushed out of the forest in a dense group. They made a sharp noise to disrupt the Earth Splitter. There were so many of them that they completely surrounded the open area. Like a tsunami, they rushed towards the Earth Splitter in the middle of the open area.
Woo!! The Earth Splitter let out a deep roar. This roar instantly drowned out the other Predators. It raised its head and slammed its jaws on the ground. The powerful impact instantly crushed many Predators. Even those that weren't hit were sent flying by the shockwave.
What a powerful force. No wonder it was the legendary monster that could dig the Deep Sand Bus out of the ground! There must be an extremely powerful pressure system in its body. If it could be broken down, Lin's army would become even stronger.
"This is ridiculous! Stupid! " Just as Lin was admiring the Earth Splitter's power, she suddenly heard the angry voice of the Overmind Zerg. It was the first time the Overmind Zerg had brought its emotions into its tone. "The way the Earth Splitter is used is completely wrong. Its operation is stupid and not precise enough. Lin, you must exterminate these pathetic Inca Zerg!"
PS: Thank you for the gift from the Overmind Overmind.
