Bab 58: Chapter 58
The speed was so fast that the Leviathan did not even have time to dodge before it was hit. The powerful impact even sent the Leviathan flying out of the ice cave and onto the ice outside the cave.
What was it that knocked it out of the cave?
The surrounding environment was endless. It was completely made of ice. The ice reflected strong light, and the ultraviolet light in the waterless environment was constantly damaging the Leviathan's cells.
I have to get back to the water immediately!
Lin drove the Leviathan's biting tentacles with all her might, biting the ice with its sharp teeth and dragging the Leviathan's body towards the ice cave.
The Leviathan had never crawled on land before, but the six Devouring Tentacles had strengthened their muscles in order to crush the carapace directly. Even on land, they could still drag the Leviathan's huge carapace body.
However, the tentacles did not have carapaces. The ultraviolet light penetrated the skin layer and rapidly destroyed every cell inside. Lin received millions of death notifications in an instant.
But Lin did not stop. She made her heart beat faster, constantly sending the cells to repair the damage. She waved all her tentacles with all her might, dragging the Leviathan's heavy body towards the ice cave...
Just a little bit more...
The cells of the tentacles' skin layer had been destroyed, and the muscle cells inside were also damaged. However, one of the tentacles' mouth had already bitten the edge of the ice cave. Its strength was enough to bring the Leviathan back to the water!
But fate did not seem to be so perfect.
Suddenly, a huge creature rushed out of the ice cave and knocked the Leviathan out of the ice cave. The Leviathan spun a few times on the ice before coming to a stop. Lin found that she had slid further than before.
The ultraviolet light had completely destroyed the tentacles. Although some of the cells were not dead, they could no longer move the Leviathan's body.
The Leviathan's eyeball was under its disc-shaped body, so it was not directly damaged by the light. That was why Lin could see clearly what the creature that had knocked into the Leviathan twice was.
The creature's head was round, its tail was long and flat, and its forelimbs were thick. The first segment was a curved structure with sawteeth. It probably used that to dig the ice cave. It also had six thick appendages. Four of them were used for walking, while the last two were bent backward. There seemed to be openings at the ends that could spray water.
Although this creature looked very similar to a common trilobite, it was much larger. Although its body was not as wide as Leviathan, its length was more than twice that of Leviathan. Its carapace was white and crystalline, reflecting a dazzling light under the Light of Day.
There were always strange creatures recently...
Lin named the creature 'Ice Monster' because its carapace was very similar to ice crystals. Lin did not know if it was made of the same kind of shell it was familiar with.........
The Ice Monster's purpose for digging the ice cave was now clear. Because of the light shining in from outside, the creatures swimming in the dark ice would be attracted to the ice cave. The Ice Monster would then take the opportunity to knock them out of the water and let them fall on the ice surface to be killed by the ultraviolet light or die from lack of oxygen. The Ice Monster would then crawl out of the cave to feast on the corpse.
Now, the Ice Monster moved its appendages and slowly crawled on the ice surface towards the immobile Leviathan.
'This is bad.'
The Leviathan might die here. Now that its tentacles were completely immobilized, the Leviathan's death would be a great loss. It was Lin's most advanced 'troop' and carried a lot of the latest information on various creatures.
Moreover, traveling so far would be a waste.
'I can't die here!'
Looking at the approaching Ice Monster, Lin immediately began to operate the Leviathan's internal structure. In fact, the Leviathan's mouth was connected to the water spouts around its body.
This structure allowed the water spouts to spray troops, which also meant that it could fire bombs!
Lin quickly put the assembled bombs into the water spout pipe. Using the muscles inside the pipe, Lin squeezed a large amount of water to the end of the pipe, then aimed at the target and opened the water spout!
Dozens of bombs were shot out along with the water spouts. They crashed into the Ice Monster's head and exploded. The dissolved liquid splashed onto the Ice Monster's shiny carapace, causing large traces of corrosion.
Although the Ice Monster's carapace looked like a strange crystal, it could still be damaged by the dissolved liquid, so Lin was relieved.
The dissolved liquid didn't seem to have seeped through the carapace, but the Ice Monster didn't expect Lin to attack, so it hesitated for a moment. By then, Lin had already loaded the second bomb.
Fire!
This time, it was a single large bomb instead of a dozen smaller ones. Lin wanted to use this chance to destroy the monster's armor, but this time, the ice monster was able to react in time and raised its front limbs to block the bomb.
Most of the dissolving liquid from the explosion was blocked by the Ice Monster's forelimbs. Only some of it splashed onto its head. The dissolving liquid left large traces of corrosion on its forelimbs, but the Ice Monster did not show any signs of pain or injury.
It didn't hurt its insides?
Lin began to hesitate. If she continued to fire, it would consume a lot of water in the Leviathan's body. It might be dangerous to continue.
The Ice Monster didn't continue to attack. It seemed to be thinking that it might be dangerous to continue. After all, its carapace was almost completely corroded.
In the end, the Ice Monster retreated. It turned back and sneaked into the ice cave.
Did it run away? Although it was a pity, the Leviathan was now an arrow at the end of its flight and couldn't chase after the enemy.
An arrow at the end of its flight? What a strange word, but it felt fun.
But now wasn't the time to think about it … Lin quickly created dozens of land-based warheads in the Leviathan's carapace. The ends of these warheads were jagged and sharp. Lin ordered them to dig at the ice surface under the Leviathan, creating a hole for the Leviathan to return to the water.
It might take a long time to dig a hole … Now, all she could do was wait.
The warheads quickly dug at the ice crystals under the Leviathan. During this time, the Ice Monster didn't appear again. Lin didn't know if it would come out to attack again, so she didn't dare to create too many warheads to drag the Leviathan back into the ice cave. If the Ice Monster appeared again, it would be over.
Lin first ordered the warheads to dig many tunnels under the Leviathan. Then, the Leviathan's weight would crush these tunnels. The warheads then continued to dig, repeating this process until the Leviathan fell into the water.
The thick layer of ice became thinner and thinner under the warheads' efforts. Soon, Lin saw the dark and cold water under the ice again.
The last layer of ice shattered as the warheads dug, and the Leviathan finally fell into the water again.
I'm finally back … This was the first time Lin felt so happy to be back in the water. It was so comfortable to be away from the scorching ultraviolet rays outside.
However, Lin didn't have time to enjoy this. She didn't even have time to retrieve the warheads. A giant glittering figure crashed into her from the depths.
As expected, the Ice Monster was lurking nearby.
Lin was already prepared. She immediately activated the water jets and dodged to the side. However, the Ice Monster also quickly turned its head and used its sharp forelimbs to cut a crack on the Leviathan's carapace.
Fire! Countless bombs poured out from the exit in the next moment. Since they were already in the water, Lin didn't have to worry about the consumption of water.
The bombs relied on their own water jets to crash into the Ice Monster's damaged parts. However, the Ice Monster's speed was also different from when it was on land. It nimbly swung its tail to dodge to the side. However, the bombs could also turn. Some of the bombs still hit the wounds on the Ice Monster's forelimbs.
The crystal-like armor was completely torn apart by the corrosive liquid, revealing the soft muscle structure inside. The next bomb hit the wound directly. The intense pain caused the Ice Monster to twist its body.
Feeling the pain, the Ice Monster didn't retreat. Instead, it charged forward. It ignored the bombs around it and charged at the Leviathan at high speed. It seemed to have used all of its strength in this attack. A large crater was created on the Leviathan's carapace, and many of its internal blood vessels were ruptured.
Lin immediately tightened the blood vessels to stop the bleeding. At this time, a large number of bombs had already crashed into the Ice Monster's head. The corrosive liquid had already melted the wounds on the Ice Monster's carapace, revealing the internal organs of the carapace.
The Ice Monster seemed to be enraged. It twisted its body and swam towards the Leviathan to tear off one of its biting tentacles.
Unfortunately, the tentacle was already dead. Lin didn't feel any pain.
Besides … this battle was already over.
Among the bombs that Lin used to destroy the Ice Monster's carapace, one of them was a 'special' type. This type of explosion didn't release any corrosive liquid. Instead, it released hundreds of small bombs. These bombs couldn't swim, but they had a large number of tentacles with suction cups. This allowed them to stick to the target's body and slowly crawl into the wound.
These bombs were called 'sticky bombs'. Now, a large number of sticky bombs had already crawled into the Ice Monster's head wound and stuck to its internal organs.
