Capítulo 204: Chapter 203
The Twisted Forest. This vast and ancient forest was now filled with strange things. Countless pieces of soil and rocks of different sizes began to leave the ground and rise into the air. Many creatures looked at this strange scene in panic, but some were already prepared for this moment. In the depths of the ground, the most powerful insect swarm was working hard to rise into the air.
They were getting closer and closer to the top of the cave.
Countless pieces of rock kept falling down, but even more pieces of rock floated in the air and even stuck to the top of the cave. The Incan insect swarm raised their heads and opened their jaws, as if waiting for the moment to come into contact with the top of the cave.
The gigantic rock nest they had built before had now become a floating fortress, so Lin had given them a new name — — Stone Ringing Airships.
She felt that this name … wasn't interesting enough, but it didn't matter.
The Stone Sound Airship that Lin stole was also close to the top of the cave. It was about a hundred meters away from the Incan insect swarm, but Lin didn't do anything. Instead, she observed what the Incan insect swarm was going to do.
The two Earth Shatterers once again opened their jaws to 180 degrees. This was the Earth Shatterer's most powerful attack. When the jaws were opened to the limit, they could close their jaws in less than a tenth of a second. They could instantly crush any solid object that Lin knew of. Although the hit rate was a problem, the ceiling of the cave would not move.
The airship slowly approached the top of the cave … 30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters … When it was close enough to attack, Earth Splitter suddenly clenched its jaws and stabbed them into the rock stratum, creating a loud sound. Countless cracks began to spread out as a result.
"Crack …"
The Earth Breakers forcefully pulled their jaws out of the rock layer. They opened their jaws again and attacked the top of the cave. The originally fragile roof of the cave began to tremble violently under the continuous attacks. Large amounts of sand and gravel fell from the cracks and landed on the back of the Chiming Rock airship. The huge weight caused the airship to sink slightly.
A type of three-meter-long worm crawled out of the hole on the surface of the airship. They crawled to the back of the airship and began to swallow the sand. They then spat the sand out of the airship.
Lin noticed that there were many small pieces of sand that could float in the air. It seemed like the Sound Stones were really everywhere. This way, the Inca bugs only needed to get rid of the sand that didn't fly and they would easily regain their buoyancy.
Seeing the Inca Beetles working hard, Lin also began to make preparations …
The two Earth Shatterers were constantly smashing the ceiling of the cavern. Many other soldiers were also dealing with the rocks that had fallen on the back of the airship. Their movements were very fast. Lin wondered if they would not be able to leave if they killed the two Earth Shatterers. They were probably the last two Earth Shatterers left in the Inca insect swarm.
The Earth Shatterer was only working on the largest Stone Chime Airship. The other Stone Chime Airships were stuck to the ceiling of the cave. Lin guessed that they were planning to use the largest Stone Chime Airship to create a tunnel. Then, he had the other airships come over and fly into the sky together.
This was a good idea. However, it might be difficult to actually do so. Lin was still in the observation phase anyway, so she wouldn't do anything for now.
On the other side, the Brainworms also seemed to be planning to fly. Although their Stone Chime Airship was very similar to the Stone Chime Airship, because it was stuck to the ground, it couldn't fly. The Brainworms planned to have the soldiers destroy the base of the Stone Chime Airship so that it could fly.
Lin didn't think so. The Inca Beetles' Stone Chime Airship must have arranged the Sound Stones in detail so that they could fly smoothly. The Brainworms' Stone Chime Airship didn't have enough Sound Stones to make the entire mountain fly. Even if it did, there would be a lot of problems … Moreover, what would it do if it flew? There wasn't anything interesting in the air.
However, the Brainworms should know, so Lin didn't tell Maya about this. She wanted to see what it would do.
The Earth Shatterers moved back and forth on the Stone Chime Airship, constantly clearing the way for the airship to ascend. They even purposely left some rocks that didn't fly on the airship to adjust the speed of the airship.
They had already destroyed the glowing layer on the ceiling of the cave, but a glowing beetle had appeared among the Inca swarm to illuminate the way for the Earth Splitters. The Inca swarm knew that they needed vision to perform the most precise tasks. Of course, this also provided Lin with vision, allowing her to see their every move clearly.
They seemed to be very familiar with this.
Perhaps the Inca Beetles had a more perfect way of inheritance, so they could remember what to do when they arrived 290 years ago.
Or perhaps, some of them had a lifespan of more than 290 years.
The longest multicellular organism Lin had ever seen was a sea anemone. They didn't seem to have an upper limit to their lifespan. They could basically live for more than 2000 years. The more common multicellular organisms had a shorter lifespan, usually less than 100 years. However, it wasn't strange for the Inca Beetles to have a longer lifespan.
Now that Lin was ready, the Earth Shatterers didn't seem to be able to open up the tunnel that quickly. They encountered a relatively sturdy part of the ceiling. The Earth Shatterers continuously used their huge jaws to smash these rocks, but only a small amount of rocks fell down each time.
Lin was hesitating whether to attack or not. Or wait for them to open up a path before attacking?
The Earth Shatterers seemed to be tired, probably due to the previous battle. Their jaws and armor had traces of corrosion from Lin's bombs. One of the Earth Shatterers' jaws had even cracked from the constant smashing, so it had no choice but to stop and rest to recover.
However, only the Earth Shatterers were resting, the Inca Beetles weren't.
Perhaps because Lin was nearby but didn't make any moves, they were in a hurry to clear a path.
Another Earth Shatterer was still trying its best to open up a path to ascend. The Inca Beetles' explosive armor had also joined the battle. They continuously smashed into the ceiling, but their explosions didn't have much of an effect on the sturdy rocks.
For this, the Inca Beetles needed more power.
At this moment, a gigantic figure suddenly appeared on the back of the largest Stone Chime Airship.
A Purgatory Worm.
Perhaps this was the last remaining Inca Beetle. Lin wasn't surprised to see a Purgatory Worm in this Stone Chime Airship. As the moon approached, the fragments of the Purgatory Worm's carapace that Lin had studied earlier all floated up. This meant that the Purgatory Worm's carapace contained some sort of 'Chime Stone'. This gigantic monster probably didn't take up much of the airship's weight.
