Capítulo 151: Chapter 150
Crack …. This was the sound of rocks cracking apart. Lin discovered that a sharp pillar beside the troops had a large number of cracks on it. Moreover, these cracks were increasing in number ….
Through the cracks, Lin saw that the insides of these sharp pillars were actually hollow. Could it be that the leader of the Aztec bugs was hiding within these sharp pillars?
At present, all the Aztec bugs in the forest of sharp pillars seemed to have fled. Their actions of burrowing into the ground and climbing up the pillars were all fake. These bugs merely dug a little and stopped burrowing. Those that climbed up had also jumped back to the ground. Their ultimate goal seemed to be to escape from the forest of sharp pillars and escape into the desert outside.
Let's deal with them first. The cracks seemed to be spreading very slowly. Lin didn't know what was inside, but she didn't want to let the Aztec bugs escape.
Lin's airborne troops weren't large in number and couldn't possibly pursue these fleeing Aztec bugs. However, Lin was already prepared for this.
Bechymos slowly twisted its body. It lowered its head and aimed the cannon on its head at the large swarm of Aztec bugs in the distance.
Bang!
A huge bomb shot towards the swarm of insects like a black stream, smashing into the dense swarm of insects.
This was the most powerful explosive bullet of the 'Creator of Arts', Lin.
"Boom …" An intense explosion set off an endless shockwave. All the Aztec bugs in the surroundings were sent flying. Along with the powerful impact, they crashed against the surrounding sharp pillars, while some were thrown high into the air. The explosion only lasted for a split second. After that, the dense swarm of Aztec bugs in the surroundings had already disappeared.
Most of their corpses crashed into the surrounding sharp pillars. Or fly to a place far, far away. However, their deaths were all the same. As though they were squashed by something, their innards spurted out from their mouths. It could be said that they had died in an instant.
This thing was fun to play with, but it wasn't very effective against harder targets. The sharp pillars around the explosive bullet didn't even budge. These enormous sharp pillars were formed from relatively sturdy rocks. The shockwave of the airflow couldn't shake them.
Many of the Aztec worms that weren't affected by the explosion managed to escape. But Lin was more concerned about the sharp pillar that had split open next to the troops.
Lin didn't see any insects crawling out, but there was a kind of black liquid that looked like mud flowing out of it. It didn't have any smell, so Lin thought that it might be some kind of poison. Normally, creatures that release poison would evolve their poison to be odorless, so that their opponents wouldn't be on guard.
However, Lin felt that it was useless. It would be suspicious if there was no smell. It was better to make it look like real mud, which would make it easier to fool people.
"Crack …"
At this moment, the sound of cracking could be heard from the surrounding pillars. Lin noticed that a suspicious liquid was flowing out of the spikes as the cracks widened. As more and more 'mud' gushed out, Lin ordered her troops to avoid the mud flowing down from the spikes. Lin suddenly had a thought. Could it be that the Aztecs were planning to use this to deal with her troops?
If every single one of the spires were covered in mud, they would indeed be able to drown the entire forest of spires. But Rin could have her troops return to the airdrop bay and fly back to Bechymos, so even that would not have much of an impact.
However, the mud stopped flowing after a while, and then … nothing happened.
Lin felt that it was a little strange. She ordered Bechymos to throw down some collectors and let them eat some of the mud to decompose its composition.
The mud was composed of a special composition that could eliminate the smell of mud. Apart from that, there was nothing special about it. It wasn't poisonous either.
What was going on? Why did it release the mud? It was completely meaningless.
Just as Lin was filled with all sorts of doubts, she suddenly noticed a strange situation.
Before she arrived, she had placed many flyers around the forest of spires for observation. Their main purpose was to observe the direction of the escaping Aztecs.
Lin suddenly noticed that at the edge of the forest of spires, the tip of one of the spires had cracked open. A creature that looked like a worm crawled out from the crack. Its body was about two meters long, and it had three pairs of limbs and two pairs of wings. It spread its wings and flew towards the desert in the west.
What was that? She had never seen such a creature among the Aztecs.
When Lin displayed the image of the creature and the mud to Overmind, Overmind suddenly became nervous and said, "Montezuma, the leader of the Aztecs. They specialize in tactics, illusions and escape. The mud is an illusion. They must not be allowed to escape in order to attract Lin's attention."
So that's how it is. The mud is an illusion? Perhaps it saw that Lin's troops wouldn't be attracted by the escaping Aztec swarm, so it released this strange mud. Because it was too strange, it completely diverted Lin's attention. If not for the fact that the Overmind understood them, Lin might have let it escape.
Lin immediately ordered a flyer to chase after the escaping worm. At the same time, she ordered Bechymos to turn around and chase after the worm with all its might.
As for the airdrop troops, they would stay here for now. Lin ordered them to dig through the spires and the ground to see where the nest of the Aztecs was hidden. Was it inside the spires or outside? Or was it underground?
The leader of the Aztecs, called 'Montezuma' by Overmind, flew extremely fast. The flyer had to fly at full speed to catch up. According to Lin's conjecture, it might be different from Overmind. It still retained a portion of its powerful physical strength, but its brain was weaker. Lin felt that this' leader 'had a rather poor control over the Aztecs.
It had been flying at high speed over the desert towards the northwest. Was it going to another territory?
However, there didn't seem to be any other territory in that direction. Moreover, it was flying at a relatively low altitude, only about ten meters above the ground.
Suddenly, Montezuma turned around and pounced at the flyer. Lin immediately controlled the flyer to dodge the attack.
It seemed that it had discovered that the flyer had been following it. Montezuma looked at the flyer and let out a howling sound.
This was a sound that Lin had heard before. Overmind also said that it meant 'attack, regret, death.' However, there were many other words that Lin couldn't understand.
Lin believed that Montezuma had a high intelligence and communication ability like Overmind, but she couldn't understand its vocabulary, so she couldn't communicate with it at the moment. She felt that it was rather troublesome to ask Overmind every time, so she decided to capture it first.
Montezuma looked at the flyer and was about to pounce on it again, but at this moment, a low and deep sound came from the sky. A huge figure slowly approached the place.
Bechymos had arrived. Although it was huge, Bechymos was still quite fast at full speed.
Montezuma immediately turned around and flew away when he saw Bechymos, but before that, Bechymos had already shot out several bombs.
Montezuma twisted his body abruptly to avoid the dissolving liquid sputtered by the bombs. Then, he sped up and fled into the distance.
In the low altitude of the desert, a chase was ongoing. Montezuma flapped his two pairs of wings with all his might, while the huge Bechymos followed closely behind him. At this moment, Bechymos released some special explosive projectiles. These explosive projectiles used both jet and wings to fly at the same time, possessing a powerful pursuit ability. They followed closely behind the rapidly fleeing Montezuma and approached him little by little.
Lin called them 'tracking bombs'. With Montezuma's speed, there was no way he could avoid them.
Montezuma shrieked when he saw the bombs approaching him. At this moment, the sand beneath him suddenly burst open, and a huge monster rushed out from the sand.
It really appeared, the Deepsand Bus …
The Deepsand Bus appeared right behind Montezuma. The bombs hit the Deepsand Bus directly. The dissolving liquid from the explosion failed to penetrate the armour of the Deepsand Bus. At this moment, Montezuma once again retreated into the ground. Montezuma had disappeared.
It seemed that it had hidden inside the Deepsand Bus. Lin could hear the sound of the Deepsand Bus moving underground. It was in a very shallow position, and it was still moving towards the northwest.
What was there in the northwest? Lin had already scouted a large area of the desert, but there didn't seem to be anything special in that direction related to Aztecs.
Bechymos continued to pursue the Deepsand Bus. At this moment, Lin saw a large patch of green appearing in the distance. It was a forest of vine ferns.
There were no vine ferns near the Forest of Sharp Pillars. They had probably been eaten up. But now, the Deepsand Bus was approaching the desert area covered by vine ferns. Under the cover of the vine ferns, the Deepsand Bus would become more difficult to deal with. It was very likely that it would escape.
It had to be dealt with before that happened!
Bechymos lowered its head slightly, aimed at the Deepsand Bus about twenty meters in front of it, and suddenly shot out a huge bomb – 'Art Creator'.
This was a slightly modified version. After it touched the ground, it immediately used the appendages around its body to dig and quickly burrow into the sand. At this moment, the Deepsand Bus had just reached its position.
Boom …!!!
Accompanied by a loud and clear boom, countless grains of sand were lifted up like huge waves of a tsunami, forming a huge circular sand wave that rushed towards the surroundings. The huge Deepsand Bus was also lifted up from the sand.
The bomb wasn't very effective against the thick armour of the Deepsand Bus. The shockwave wasn't suitable to deal with the Deepsand Bus that was used to pressure, but it was more than enough to blast it out of the sand.
Bechymos immediately shot out several hook lines at the Deepsand Bus that was blown out of the sand. When Lin successfully caught the Deepsand Bus, a plate on the back of the Deepsand Bus suddenly opened, and Montezuma quickly flew out from it.
It actually abandoned the Deepsand Bus so easily? Which place was it going to go to regardless of everything?
Could it be …
Lin suddenly thought of a place in the northwest that might have something to do with Aztecs.
The desert pit of the Inca swarm. Floating astronomy.
