Five Deepsand Buses easily tore through 30 Bombardiers. Lin's observing eyeball tentacles silently observed the scene from a distant tree.
The first Deepsand Bus that was caught by Lin was a scout, and two more Deepsand Buses came crashing into the tree. After Lin drove one Deepsand Bus crazy, the Aztec worm actually summoned so many Deepsand Buses.
Thinking of this, Lin had a small question. The reason why the Aztec worms didn't attack before was because they were defeated by the brainworms. But after that, the brainworms were annihilated, and there was still a long time before Lin reached the shore. After the brainworms were annihilated, why didn't the Aztec worms attack the Twisted Jungle? Did they not notice the disappearance of the headbugs? That didn't seem likely.
But Lin mainly wanted to know. Would the Deepsand Buses know how to target 'Lin', or would they just treat the Bombardiers as other wild creatures in the Twisted Jungle?
Lin believed that they seemed to know 'Lin' existed. Lin had this feeling when she observed their movements.
After killing the Bombardiers, the Deepsand Buses did not burrow into the ground. Instead, they ran towards the boundary between light and darkness — the river. But they stopped beside the river.
The current river was no longer the same small river as before. Due to the melting snow, the current was overflowing. The once slow flowing river that was only 2 meters wide had now become 15 meters wide. Lin's original entrance to the base had been submerged, but Lin had dug out a new entrance a little further away.
The Deepsand Buses stopped beside the river. None of them were willing to move forward. Generally speaking, it was not difficult for such a large creature to cross the river. But Lin knew. These desert creatures were quite afraid of coming into contact with too much water. Although the scales on their backs could block sand, they could not stop water from seeping in.
Lin had now confirmed that they were targeting 'Lin'. Otherwise, they would have continued crashing into trees after killing the Bombardiers, and not come to the river.
But why didn't they burrow? Did they find a trap? But that was not a problem.
While they were hesitating, ten new types of troops had crawled out of Lin's base.
These troops had a strange appearance. They were round with a diameter of 5 meters, and had a circle of legs with sawtooth suction cups at the end. In the middle of their round body was a 'mouth'. They could shoot out barbed hooks from their mouth in an instant to hook their prey and drag it back.
Its name was Coiling Hooker.
Using this method, they could also send the cannoneers to the other side of the river. Of course, they could also lure things over from the other side of the river.
Bang!
The ten hookers shot their hook lines at a Deepsand Bus on the other side of the river at the same time. Their hook lines instantly hooked onto the gap between the plates on the back of the Deepsand Bus.
Then, the Coilover inserted its leg into the ground and forcefully retracted the hook line.
The Deepsand Bus didn't seem to notice the hooks on its back. The hookers instantly pulled it forward, and its head was immediately pulled into the rapids of the river.
As soon as the Deep Sand bus touched the water. It began to struggle violently as if it had gone mad, but the Coiling Being held onto it tightly. As a result, the Deep Sand Bus was unable to escape from the water, and its other four companions could not help it. It was not that they did not want to help, but the Deep Sand Bus did not have a suitable body to grab onto, and the only thing it could bite onto was its tail, which was too weak.
Although the Coiling Being was not as large as the Deepsand Bus, the strength of ten Coiling Beings was enough to completely immobilize it. After struggling in the water for a while, the Deep Sand Bus stopped moving.
Drowning? That was easy. Based on the structure of these creatures' bodies, they were indeed afraid of water.
Although Lin could send out a large number of troops to drown them, it was still fun to kill them one by one.
Seeing this, the remaining Deepsand Buses immediately retreated, as if afraid of being hooked. They only stopped when they were a few dozen meters away. Then, they began to dig into the ground and burrowed underground.
Now they're willing to dig again? Lin didn't know why they didn't dig at first, but now they were clearly afraid of being hooked, which was why they chose to burrow underground.
Lin could hear the sound of them moving underground, and when they reached the bottom of the river …
Gurgle!
A strange sound suddenly came from the river, and a small whirlpool appeared in the middle of the river. The whirlpool suddenly expanded, and the water around it was sucked into the whirlpool, gushing deeper into the river.
Lin had already prepared a trap at the bottom of the river, which was to loosen the soil below. After some calculations, Lin managed to loosen the soil to the point where it could support the flow of the river without collapsing. However, if the Deepsand Bus dug there, the soil would instantly collapse, and the river would flow underground, drowning everything below.
Lin did not place any observation eyeballs or anything like that in the soil, but she could feel that the Deepsand Bus was constantly struggling.
It seemed that the trap was very effective. This was also due to Lin's research. Lin believed that although the Deepsand Bus' structure could quickly dig underground, it was very difficult for them to retreat. When the water rushed down, they would not be able to escape at all.
Lin ordered the Coiling Creatures to return to the base. After waiting for a while, Lin felt that the struggling tremors had stopped. Lin then ordered the Disintegrators to dig underground to investigate the situation.
In the end, Lin found that three Deepsand Bus had drowned in the wet mud seven meters below the river. Mud was much harder to dig than dry soil, and it was easy to trap them. It seemed that the trap was quite effective.
It seemed that one of the Deepsand Bus had escaped. Perhaps it was at the back, so it wasn't drowned.
Lin didn't care about that. This time, she mainly wanted to try and learn to be like Overmind, using a small number of troops and tactics to defeat a large opponent. However, the results weren't ideal, even though it was quite fun.
Now that I've had enough fun, it's time to destroy them.
Since the Aztecs wanted to topple the trees and occupy the forest, they were Lin's enemies. Moreover, as Overmind had said, Lin didn't have to worry about any problems when she exterminated them.
On the Dark Plains beside the river, hundreds of holes suddenly opened up in the spacious land. Countless flying units flew out from these holes and headed towards the distant Vine Fern Desert. When they arrived at the edge of the Glittering Woodland, they began to split into six groups, each heading towards the six territories of the Aztec worms. At the same time, above the Vine Fern Desert, Bechymos began to fly towards the Forest of Spires at full speed. It was fully loaded with units and a large amount of explosives.
