Chương 206: Chapter 205
Under the illumination of the azure moonlight, rumbling noises could be heard in the desert. Two huge armies were rapidly flying across the desert. One was fleeing, the other was pursuing.
Lin did not know what the Inca swarm had in the crater, but she had always sent a flyer to observe the area. In fact, there was nothing there. The Black Wasps had not come out for a long time. Almost 30% of the crater had been buried by sand and dust. But as the moon approached, most of the sand and dust floated up, restoring the entire crater to its original clean state.
No matter what, Lin would not let them succeed.
A large number of bombs poured out as though they were free of nutrients. Lin's Bechymos and the Bombers delivered the bombs to the airships of every Inca swarm. Under the sound of explosions, countless rocks were shattered into fragments. These fragments did not fall to the ground along with the corpses of the swarm. Instead, they slowly floated in the air, as though they were proof of the damage they suffered.
The Inca insect swarm didn't completely stop attacking. They increased the speed of the small airships and flew in an irregular pattern to avoid Lin's bombs, while the three large airships maintained their original speed. A new type of Inca insect swarm — — Lin called them 'Bullet Scorpions'. Lin felt that they were modified from the Sticky Scorpions. They shot out a sharp stone shard to intercept Lin's bombs.
A large number of Bullet Scorpions appeared on the three huge Chime Rock airships. They used the barbs at the tip of their limbs to firmly grab the outer shell of the airships, and used their curved tails to shoot out countless stone fragments to intercept the bombs.
Some bombs were designed with explosive systems. If they were penetrated, they would easily detonate. Shockwave bombs would also leak gas when penetrated. Thus, Lin switched to using pure liquid explosive bullets.
It did not matter even if the liquid bombs were penetrated. As long as the main jet system was not damaged, they could continue flying. A large number of bombs hit the bodies of the Bullet Scorpions, corroding a large area of festering marks on their shells. Blood continuously flowed out from the cracks of the rotten shells.
Even so, the Bullet Scorpions did not stop shooting. They greatly increased the speed of their stone fragments and used all their strength to shoot down the bombs before they could reach them.
Lin's air force was about 300 meters away from the Inca swarm's air force. They kept firing all kinds of warheads and ammunition at each other. The strange thing was that although the Purgatory Worm kept its head exposed, it did not spew a mouthful of lava at Bechymos.
As expected, this was an unpredictable species. Furthermore, they were only defending and not retaliating. If this continued, Lin would gain the upper hand.
Crack … Boom!
… What was that sound?
Suddenly, a strange sound came from under the desert. There was a loud bang, and several large holes were blasted open in the sand. Each hole had a spherical object with a diameter of more than three meters.
The spherical object shot into the sky at an extremely fast speed. At the same altitude as the Lin Air Force, it stopped about 100 meters away. What were these strange spheres for?
During the flight, one of Lin's Bombers bumped into a floating sphere. Suddenly, the sphere exploded with a bang. There was a violent explosion, and a large number of sharp conical objects flew out from the explosion. These objects instantly pierced into the bomber's body under the force of the explosion. Their sturdy structure rampaged inside the bomber's body, breaking all the blood vessels, internal organs, muscles, and skin. They maintained the momentum and rushed out from the other side of the bomber's body, flying into the distance.
The Bomber was instantly pierced by the large number of pyramid-shaped objects flying out from the explosion, turning into a bloody lump of flesh. It was no longer able to fly and fell from the sky. Lin immediately ordered the Air Force's resupply unit to rush out and catch the falling Bomber.
What were those spheres? Was it a trap for the Inca swarm? It didn't seem like it.
Lin saw that the Inca swarm was more or less affected by the exploding spheres. They injured many of the Bullet Scorpions on the airship. This made Lin feel a little strange … Could these spheres be …
Lin suddenly realized that they were still flying above the subterranean world, and these spheres just happened to fly above the Hometree!
Could these spheres be the … seeds of the Hometree?
If that was the case, it seemed like every Hometree would release 7 to 10 spherical seeds. These spherical seeds would then explode again and turn into smaller pyramid-shaped objects.
But how did the Hometree shoot those spheres out? Lin had never seen such a structure in the Hometree. Perhaps the seeds were originally located in the rock layer near the surface, and would fly out when the moon approached?
If that was the case, could it be that the Hometree only reproduced once every 290 years?
Lin ordered the Air Force's Hunters to fly in the direction where the pyramid-shaped objects flew out. Soon, Lin discovered a floating pyramid-shaped object. It was obvious that it was also composed of Sonic Stones, which was why it could fly.
The pyramid-shaped object was similar to the wooden structure of plants. It was hollow inside, and under the sturdy outer shell, there must be something protecting it. Most plant seeds had a similar structure, but the Hometree's method of reproduction was much stranger.
Lin felt that she should study it further, but for now, she had another matter to attend to!
Lin's Air Force accelerated towards the Inca swarm. Countless bombs were fired from the Bechymos cannons, once again aiming at the main airship of the Inca swarm.
Bam!
At this moment, a large number of Hometree seeds rushed out from the surrounding sand. Some of these spherical objects would not explode immediately, while others would explode as soon as they came out. The sound of their explosions mixed with the rumbling of the bombs, and under the azure moonlight, the Inca swarm was forced to a dead end.
Of course, the Inca swarm did not think so.
Although their Sonic Stone airships looked cumbersome, their speed was still relatively fast. Under Lin's bombardment, they had only relied on the Scorpions to maintain a considerable distance. But now, the Scorpions had almost been completely exhausted under the rumbling of the bombs. Bechymos was getting closer and closer to the three Sonic Stone airships of the Inca swarm.
Bam!
Bechymos abruptly shot out several long barbed wires from the muzzle on its head, hooking onto the rear of one of the airships. At the same time, Bechymos suddenly reversed its jet nozzle and pulled the airship with all its might.
Although the Bechymos was relatively small, the force of its jet was still able to pull the airship to a stop.
Lin believed that this time, the Inca swarm had no choice but to retaliate.
However, the Inca swarm's actions were somewhat out of Lin's expectations. All the smaller airships in the vicinity suddenly accelerated and flew into the distance, leaving only the three larger airships. They stopped at the same time and faced Lin's Air Force.
Not far behind them was the huge desert pit. Floating astronomy.
