Chương 187: Chapter 186
In the skies above the Underworld, a large number of black shadows appeared. A hundred Dive Bombers flew through the forest at high speed, heading towards the depths of the Incan swarm's territory.
This time, they didn't have the disguise of a sneak attack. Lin was charging at full speed, trying to see if she could charge through the Incan army.
Lin could now see that about a kilometer in front of the Dive Bombers, there were countless Incan swarm moving through the forest. This time, the Incan swarm didn't chop down the trees. Apart from the giant Incan troops that knocked down the trees, the rest of the troops were hidden in the bushes. Lin couldn't see their formation and species clearly.
Of course, that was only what they thought. Lin had already observed the situation through the well-hidden Flyers, but she didn't know what the new Incan troops were used for.
The Dive Bombers were already flying at full speed with the Explosive Bugs. Through the Explosive Bugs, the speed of the Dive Bombers suddenly increased. Lin planned to charge through as fast as she could!
As the Dive Bombers flew above the Incan army, Lin suddenly heard a strange sound.
'Bang!'
The sound instantly reverberated throughout the Underworld. Countless white balls rushed out from the trees below. Almost all of the Dive Bombers were hit by these white balls. Lin discovered that these balls were made of an extremely viscous liquid mixed with silk threads. Although they didn't do much damage, just one of them was enough to greatly reduce the Dive Bombers' speed.
As expected, because they were scared of the Dive Bombers last time, the air defense this time could be described as' watertight '.
After the Dive Bombers were stuck, their speed was greatly reduced. White balls were constantly being shot out from below. In the end, the Dive Bombers couldn't maintain flight due to too many balls and fell to the ground. Their cannons were also stuck and couldn't fire. They were quickly dismembered and killed by the Incan swarm. Because they were torn to pieces and didn't eat the Dive Bombers, Lin couldn't invade the Incan swarm.
However, there was one Dive Bomber that wasn't killed. Instead, it was lifted up. Although its eyes were covered by the sticky liquid, Lin could see from the Flyers that this Dive Bomber was being lifted up by an insect that looked like an Earth Splitter. The Earth Splitter was being carried to the back of the army.
This was the first time Lin had seen such a 'miniature Earth Splitter'. It was only two meters long and had the same long jaws as the Earth Splitter. However, it was only half a meter long. It used its long jaws to drag the remaining Bomber towards the back of the army. Lin noticed that its carapace did not seem to be stuck by the mucus. She felt that it had great research value. In the end, the 'miniature Earth Splitter' placed the Bomber in front of a troop of fat worms.
It was the same kind of worm Lin had seen in the Fossilized Resurrection Tree. However, this one was slightly bigger, with a length of three meters and a diameter of half a meter. It was only now that Lin realized that there were such bugs in the Incan army. Beside the fat bug, a large number of little bugs with needles in their mouths flew out. Lin called them 'Blood Lifting Worms'. They were usually responsible for extracting the marrow from the fossil skeletons and feeding it to the fat worms.
Lin had already guessed what they wanted to do. The Inca swarm wanted to extract the blood of Lin's troops and obtain the Bomber's ability?
This was interesting. Lin decided to use this opportunity to see how they were going to do it.
The Blood Lifting Bug found a slimy crack on the Bomber's body. It pierced the long needle in its mouth, penetrating the Bomber's thin skin and into its blood vessels.
A strong suction force was felt. Many of the cells in the blood vessels were sucked in. Lin could feel the cells passing through the tube in its mouth and into the body of the Blood Lifting Worm.
Normally, Lin would put a lot of basic cells in her blood to allow her troops to quickly transform. Now, Lin immediately had these cells transform into a sphere, then placed a small eyeball on top of the sphere, while some other cells transformed into glowing cells. Lin saw that it was located in a black sac-like space.
The Blood Lifting Bug flew in front of the fat bug's mouth. The fat bug opened its mouth and swallowed the Blood Lifting Bug. Inside the Blood Lifting Bug's body, the little ball felt the world turn upside down. When the surroundings became stable again, Lin found that the little ball had arrived in a very large space.
This should be the body of the fat worm. The little ball's glowing organs couldn't illuminate the entire space. It was filled with a transparent liquid that was very clean. It was hundreds of times cleaner than the river water outside that was mixed with a large amount of fungi.
Sensing danger, Lin began to grow some blade-like limbs on the surface of the little ball. She also grew a fin-like tail underneath for movement.
This space was vast and empty. Lin needed to explore it slowly. After all, the two armies were still quite far from each other.
Lin felt like she had returned to a hundred million years ago. A small cell was swimming in a vast ocean, although the little ball wasn't a single cell.
Suddenly, a strange thing appeared in front of the little ball. Under the light, Lin saw that it was a … tentacle?
It did look like a tentacle, and it was obviously a multicellular organism, not a single cell. The tentacle's head was very sharp. Although it didn't have vision, it could sense that Lin's little ball was nearby. It turned around and rushed over.
The tentacle's head pierced into the little ball's skin. Lin instantly felt something being pulled out from her body.
Lin immediately swung the little ball's blade-like limbs to cut the tentacle in half. The cut part of the tentacle sprayed out a large amount of strange liquid and tiny impurities. Following that, the tentacle shrank back and disappeared from the little ball's vision.
What a dangerous feeling. Did they use this to extract cells and obtain abilities?
The little ball pulled out the tentacle and the spike from its body. Lin then had the little ball secrete a dissolving liquid to dissolve and consume it.
Relying on the nutrients it obtained, the little ball began to divide its cells and grow in size.
This space should be inside a certain pouch inside the fat worm's body. Right now, Lin needed to reach the pouch's wall and pierce through it to invade the fat worm's blood vessels. Then, through the blood vessels, she would be able to reach the brain and heart. That way, she would be able to easily kill the creature.
But while Lin was thinking that, something strange happened around her.
Around the little ball, the tentacles from before appeared again. This time, it wasn't just one, but … more than thousands of tentacles. They densely surrounded the little ball like needles.
It was a spectacular sight. Lin had seen some creatures with 'acrophobia' and 'trypophobia'. At first, it was mainly caused by fear of large groups of small carnivorous insects or the sharp teeth of predators. But as the condition progressed, it became a fear of anything dense and sharp.
If such a creature were to see this situation, it might just faint.
Lin looked at the countless needles piercing towards her. She immediately had the little ball's skin form a large amount of 'Instant Crustaceous Substance' to harden its body. All the needles pierced into the 'Instant Crustaceous Substance' but were unable to penetrate the little ball's body.
Instant Crustaceous Substance was a type of liquid that could harden instantly after forming. Although it wasn't very hard, it could easily stop these tiny needles.
Now, Lin had the little ball secrete a large amount of dissolving liquid in its body and prepared to disintegrate the outer layer of the 'Instant Crustaceous Substance'.
Yes, it would become an art.
'Boom!' As the outer layer of the 'Instant Crustaceous Substance' disintegrated, the little ball exploded. A large amount of dissolving liquid gushed out and corroded the surrounding tentacles and their spikes.
These tentacles must have been used to extracting blood cells that had no resistance at all. They had no resistance to the dissolving liquid at all. Their spikes were instantly corroded into fragments, and a large portion of the tentacles behind them was also corroded away.
In the center of the exploded little ball, an even smaller ball appeared. It was only one percent the size of the previous one. Now, it began to devour the dissolving fragments around it and kept dividing cells to increase its size. After absorbing a large amount of fragments, it finally became a huge … little ball.
The new little ball was hundreds of times bigger than the previous one, and its body was full of claws and blades. At the same time, it swam in the form of spraying water and quickly approached the wall of this space.
A large number of tentacles were densely packed on the wall of the capsule. Without exception, they were all broken. There were traces of corrosion on the broken parts. It seemed that the dissolving liquid had caused a lot of damage.
The little ball sliced through these tentacles. As it swallowed them, it approached the wall of the capsule. Then, the little ball used its claws to cut a crack in the wall of the capsule. Suddenly, a large number of cells rushed in through the crack.
Were these blood cells? Lin noticed that these cells were of different colors and shapes. Lin didn't care too much about them. She had the little ball start to consume these cells. Through continuous consumption, Lin turned the little ball into a small reproduction chamber. Then, she started to create Penetrators. The Penetrators drilled through the walls of the capsule, entered the blood vessels, and invaded every organ in the fat worm's body.
Inside the fat worm's body, Lin discovered many interesting things. There were many organs that Lin had never seen before. The capsule that Lin first entered could be called the 'extraction capsule'. Then, the extraction capsule was connected to another organ, which Lin called the 'analysis capsule'. It seemed to be responsible for processing the various substances extracted from the cells sent to the extraction capsule.
Then, these processed substances were sent to the 'preservation capsule'. Lin noticed that this organ contained a large number of motionless mast cells. They were probably responsible for storing the organism's information.
Finally, there was the ovipositor. Lin noticed that this was where the fat worm laid its eggs, which probably contained the organism's information.
What a complicated and intricate structure. Lin decided to learn everything she saw and create one for herself, even though she still didn't understand the details of the process.
