Bab 266: Chapter 265
Lin watched as the Bacteriophages slowly grew in size, devouring all the fungi on the island. The nutrients, water, and everything else they needed to grow were all plundered from the fungi.
If the island was a plague fungus, then the Bacteriophages were a plague of fungi.
All the fungal dust that pounced on the Bacteriophages was slowly nibbled away. The dissolving fluid secreted by the plague fungus was very rare, but it wasn't as if there was no corresponding method. The dissolving fluid of the Bacteriophages could even be converted into nutrients.
In this way, the Bacteriophages would eventually replace the plague fungus and cover the entire island. They would then slowly grow in size at the core of the island, gathering all the nutrients together to form a huge egg-shaped object. Bechymos could then recycle it, and the nutrients could be used for many other things.
In this way, Lin could make use of all the plague fungus. Although she didn't know how many more islands there were, at least she didn't have to worry about being infected by them. Next, Lin had the Bombers and Bechymos deal with a few more fungal islands nearby. She discovered that some of the islands had been infected for a long time. Even when the nutrients were exhausted, the fungus could still survive for a long time by relying on the rain and the flying fishes or sea creatures attracted to the islands. By relying on the flying creatures that occasionally passed by, they could spread the fungal dust to a considerable distance.
Next, Bechymos and the Bombers continued to sweep the nearby islands with the Bacteriophages. After these islands were swept clean, they should be able to regrow plants, but they had to be completely cleaned. Lin discovered that some of the mycelium extended very deep into the ground, seemingly determined to extract all the nutrients. However, the Bacteriophages could also grow 'tentacles' similar to mycelium and extend deep into the ground along with the mycelium.
They were trying their best to survive, while Lin was trying her best to exterminate them. Who knew how long this war would last? But as long as there were fungi. Lin would fight them. Because their lives were a kind of extermination.
Moreover, their nutrients were plentiful and quite useful. Although the ashes after being burned could still be eaten, the nutrients would be a lot less. Living things were the most nutritious.
While Bechymos was working hard, Leviathan was also slowly exploring other aspects.
At this time, Leviathan discovered some interesting creatures in the forest.
Leviathan was currently in the depths of the forest. The trees here were relatively far apart. It was suitable for large animals to move about. Lin saw a second large creature besides the Dome Dragon. This creature was called a Stonesaurus. It was a fat creature with a body length of 2.2 to 3 meters and a height of 1.7 meters. Lin estimated that each of them weighed about 2 tons. They were quite large creatures.
These creatures had two long tusks in their mouths. They roamed the forest in groups, using these tusks to dig into the bark of trees and eat the structures inside. It was also used to dig out the roots of some short plants.
Beside the Stonesaurus were small creatures that Lin called the 'Shieldhead Dragons'. The heads of these dragons seemed to have hardened into balls. They moved on all fours and were only half the size of the Stonesaurus. They followed the Stonesaurus and ate the debris and small plants they dug out.
These two types of plant-eaters formed a simple symbiotic relationship. Lin found that many of these evolved reptiles liked to eat plants. They preferred to eat creatures that could neither move nor hide, rather than fighting with other animals. This made Lin feel that they were weaker than the Arthropods. They did not have armor and hydraulic systems like the Arthropods. Their skin was not thick enough, and they lacked many means of attack. All they needed to do was dig through the plants, which was quite simple.
However, plants were not easy to deal with. Although they did not have brains, they could think of many ways to deal with them.
Lin found that most of the plants in this forest were poisonous. They were not poisonous under normal circumstances, and only secreted poison when their leaves and bark were torn apart. Some would grow a large number of sharp thorns, while some would produce a very stimulating ingredient called 'spicy'.
This was completely different from the Twisted Jungle. Although the Twisted Trees could defend against fire and lightning, they were not poisonous. This was related to the fact that the Arthropods did not eat them.
Lin still did not know what the plants that could shoot 'excitatory needles' were.
However, Lin did not find them interesting. Instead, it was another type of creature that was stalking these plant-eaters.
Because the plants were poisonous, these plant-eaters would not eat the same tree for too long. Before the tree secreted too much poison, they would change their target. It could be said that they would take a bite here and a bite there. There was also a small carnivorous creature that was stalking them from behind.
Lin called this creature the 'Primordial Dragon'.
These creatures stood on two legs and moved quickly. They were small in size, with a length of only 1.7 meters and a weight of about 50 kilograms. They used their sharp claws to climb up the trees. Now, there was a primitive dragon hiding between the branches, observing the group of Stonesaurus below.
Leviathan could detect that there were more than 30 of its kind nearby, but they were all motionless. Only one Primordial Dragon was quietly moving between the branches, following the group of Shieldhead Dragons and Stonesaurus.
These species usually had higher intelligence and were good at defeating larger opponents with their small and weak bodies. It was worth observing.
The Primordial Dragon was closely watching the Stonesaurus walking at the back. This Stonesaurus was smaller and slower, making it a good target. Just as this creature slowly walked under the Primordial Dragon …
"Caw!" Suddenly, the Primitive Dragon let out a loud cry, and then all of its companions around it instantly … ran away. They quickly jumped in the thicket, and all of them ran away without a trace. The Stone Dragon and Shieldhead Dragon under the tree also had a frightened look, and one after another, they frantically ran away in the forest.
A moment later, all of the creatures in the forest had run away …
Of course, there was a reason why they all ran away.
A huge creature suddenly rushed out of the forest. It was about four meters tall and about twelve meters long. This giant beast was covered in dark red scales and stood on its thick hind legs. Its front legs were thick and sharp claws, and its huge mouth was full of sharp teeth. This creature was called the 'Tyrant Lizard' by Lin. It was a large predator.
Predators among dinosaurs, Lin felt that it was not as intimidating as large arthropods. Perhaps it had to do with its lack of legs.
It rushed out a little later, and the creatures around it had all run away. So, this carnivorous monster targeted Leviathan, who was observing nearby, and suddenly rushed over.
Bang!
One of Leviathan's bombs exploded next to the Tyrant Lizard's head. The liquid dissolved the lizard's scales and corroded the lizard's scales, but it was not afraid at all and rushed over with a roar.
Lin's bomb just now was just to make it think of running away. But seeing how the Tyrant Lizard was so violent, Lin guessed that it might have something to do with the red tree. It made these creatures even crazier.
The Tyrant Monitor Lizard rushed forward and bit down on the Leviathan's helmet. Cracks appeared on the Leviathan's shell under the pressure of the Monitor Lizard's bite, and some of the internal structures began to slowly shatter.
Leviathan's armor was not very thick for flight, and it seemed like it had not been updated for a long time. But Lin was also surprised by the creature's strength. How could it have such a strong bite without the muscle structure and hydraulic system of arthropods?
At that moment, the Tyrant Lizard began to shake its head violently and tore off a piece of shell from Leviathan's head with great force. Leviathan's wound did not bleed. Before it was torn apart, Lin had stopped the blood flow.
Arthropods were more likely to use liquid or venom, while reptiles preferred strength. The Tyrant Monitor Lizard spat out the carapace in its mouth and roared again to bite the Leviathan's wound. At this moment, the Leviathan suddenly extended more than ten tentacles and completely wrapped the Tyrant Monitor Lizard's mouth and head.
The lizard shook its head violently, trying to break free from the tentacles. Lin had all the tentacles hold its head in place and pry open its mouth.
Then, Lin threw a bomb into its mouth with one of her tentacles.
This new bomb was developed based on the research of the 'explosive stingers' that she had seen before. The bomb slid into the lizard's mouth and finally rolled into its digestive organ, usually called the stomach.
Then … "Bang!"
The bomb did not explode. Instead, a large number of spikes suddenly grew from its surface and pierced the Tyrant Lizard's stomach. The immense pain made it roar violently.
Leviathan let go of its tentacles, and the Tyrant Lizard fell to the ground and struggled in pain. Lin thought it would continue to attack, but it turned out that pain was its priority?
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Lin heard the sound of a sharp object slicing through the air. A sharp wooden spike about 1.5 meters long had pierced Leviathan's head wound.
Lin felt that the tip of the wooden spike was coated with some kind of venom. It seemed to be a neurotoxin. Even if Lin did not purposely expel it, it would have almost no effect on Leviathan. But what was up with this wooden spike? Lin had noticed when she was fighting the Tyrant Lizard that some creatures were lying in ambush nearby, ready to ambush her.
The creature was now hiding between the branches, and it seemed to be wondering why Leviathan did not fall and did not dare to show itself. It was not just venom. Normally, the head of a creature was where the brain was located. It could be considered a vital point, but Leviathan did not have a brain. In fact, even if its heart exploded, Lin could still control the flow of its blood vessels and not die. The only way to kill a creature like Lin was to bleed profusely. If too much water was lost, there would be no way to repair it. But if it was soaked in water, it would be a different story.
Since that was the case, Lin immediately had Leviathan lie on the ground. Its tentacles were scattered around weakly, as if it had been poisoned.
Seeing this, the creature in the tree was puzzled for a while. When it saw that Leviathan had not moved, it began to climb out … At the same time, a dozen of its kind also appeared. They slowly jumped down from the tree and approached Leviathan and the Tyrant Lizard that was still rolling around on the ground. Floating astronomy.
