Chapter 120 Worms of Worms

The innards of the purgatory worm are gone.

When the collector penetrated the wall of the esophagus and drilled into the body of the purgatory worm, Lin found that there were no blood vessels, no organs, and nothing. Instead of disappearing, it was eaten.

It was filled with small worms with a body length of just over one meter. They were exactly the same as the big purgatory worm. Lin remembered that when the second purgatory worm came out, many of these small worms appeared at the same time. Entering the body of the purgatory worm that had been blown up by Lin, Lin thought that they might be healing, but I didn't expect to see them eating the organs of the purgatory worm.

And there are quite a lot of them. Lin remembered that there should not have been so many drilled at that time, and the esophagus wall of the purgatory worms didn't even have a hole. How did they get in?

The little worms are not toothless like the purgatory worms. They have several circles of serrated teeth in their round mouths. They frantically devour all the internal organs, blood or anything else here. They almost ate the purgatory worm's body into a huge one. In the space, they did not find the small collectors entering, and they were still devouring all kinds of flesh and blood, but they all seemed to have reached a consensus that no worms were biting the esophagus wall.

Could it be that the Inca swarms planned to eat up the guts of the purgatory worms so that Lynn couldn't decipher the information inside? But how do they know that Lynn is also imitating creatures by learning the internal structure of other creatures?

In any case, it seems too late to stop them now. The entire body of the worm is eaten in pieces, and only some muscle structures are left with the shell and esophagus. When did they start eating? So fast, it's not like the purgatory worms start eating after being crushed to death.

It's not easy for Lin to let large units push away the home tree and come in here, but now it's better than killing them. Might as well follow them and figure out what these little worms are eating the purgatory worms for.

Lin asked one of the collectors to deliberately come to a worm that was constantly devouring flesh and blood. The worm did not have any doubts and swallowed the collector and food together.

The flesh and blood of the purgatory worms accumulated in the body of the small worm, and too much food caused the dissolving liquid of the small worm to be too scattered. In this way, Lin's collector can easily make a wound in the small worm, and successfully parasitize its body close to the brain, so that Lin can follow the worm all the time.

Lin watched the group of worms eat for a while, and in the end, the muscles were not eaten much, and basically all the organs were eaten up, and finally. The worms bit a hole in the esophagus, and all together they burrowed into the tail of the purgatory worm.

After that, they all drilled out of the hole in the tail and entered the mud under the purgatory worm.

These little worms eat too much at one time, resulting in insufficient sac lysate.

This allows Lin's collector to successfully penetrate the worm's body to parasitize before it is dissolved,

Now these worms are traversing the ground and heading towards the territory of the Inca swarm.

Lin also just planned to go there.

But before that. Lin needs to restore the army, and there are still a lot of troops left in the Inca swarm. This is a normal situation. If you use all your strength at the beginning, there will be no way out after that.

Lin collected all the nutrients of the corpse and used it to produce troops for several mobile bases she had been carrying. Lin did not need to restore as many troops as before the war. Only a part is needed.

For the research on purgatory worms, because the small worms ate them all, Lin could only study some muscle structures, but there was no way to know how other organs and how they synthesize high-temperature liquid like lava.

Lin found that the synthesis of the purgatory worm's carapace is also a bit troublesome. Except for the two corpses that are ready-made, other ordinary creatures will not produce this kind of chitin, which means that Lin needs to go to some special places...such as volcanoes To search, it is possible to find the material of this kind of shell material, or the creatures that can make this kind of carapace.

It will take about two days and nights to restore the army, until then. Lin released a large number of fliers to detect the infection of nearby home trees.

Time... slowly passed.

Lin found that the good and bad conditions of the home trees were different. Many of them were festering with fungal infections, and some were immune. This phenomenon was very strange. Lin investigated dozens of nearby home trees, and found that the good and bad home trees accounted for 50% each, and some home trees that were very close to each other also had one good and one bad.

Usually when a plant is injured, it will send a scent message to tell nearby plants of the same kind to pay attention to the threat, but it doesn't seem to be the case with home trees.

In addition, ferns do not seem to be infected, and they have not been found to be corroded by fungi.

But even if it's only 50%, if all those infected home trees are broken... this underground world will collapse.

Lynn must quickly find a solution.

In addition, during this period, the Inca swarms have been building their rock nests. They seem to have left the war behind. Some of these rocks have been built very large. The maximum length is more than 100 meters, and the width is about Thirty meters away, Lin found that the black bees made these things very well. They removed the sand and other impurities in the rocks, and then combined the spider silk with the mucus, which made these rocks extremely strong and would not collapse, but no Any nest is placed vertically on the ground, and each one is placed horizontally on the ground, like huge logs placed on the ground, for which they have eradicated large tracts of woodland.

The Aztecs also built the same nest in the desert above, but they were relatively poor, not as good as the Inca swarm, and they were very small, the largest being no more than ten meters, but at least they could combine rocks. does not crash.

Lin asked the head worm. Although the head worm has no relevant memory, it also has the feeling that it wants to build a rock-like nest.

"Segmented genetic memory is not clear, but it is very useful. The ancestors must have made it, and I must make it too."

Although the head worm said so, but it did not build it, because its current rocky mountain is like that, and the head worm also said: "The rock nest, it is estimated that it has something to do with the 'moon', Lin, you must pay attention."

Lin did notice now that the 'moon' was only a little bigger than the other stars before, but now it is getting bigger and bigger, as if it is getting closer and closer... Speaking of which, how far is the moon from here, and how big is it?

There are so many mysteries about the sky, but that makes sense to look forward to.

Now the little worms have almost returned to the territory under the Inca swarm desert and stopped in one position.

Lynn's army is about to set off.

But before that, Lin has one last thing to do... record.

This war with the Inca swarm is really interesting, and it is an unprecedented, evenly matched battle, a fierce battle between huge and rich biological arms, Lin wants to record all this, using the method of the head worm. .

Lin found a few solid and huge rocks, and let the predators and bombers use their claws to cooperate with small bombs, and depict the scenes of every battle on it... Every unit of the Inca swarm, explosive armor , Executioner, Earthripper, Sandblaster, and Infernal Worm.

Although she can remember without depicting Lin, she always finds it more interesting to draw. After painting, Lin buried these stones so that they will be preserved here forever as a witness of history.

It feels like it doesn't make any sense...

After the painting, Lin's army began to move towards the territory of the Inca swarm. On the way, Lin would check every home tree, and at the same time observe the number of fungi in the air,

Lin thinks that the fungus's transmission method can also be used for her own use.

During the march, Lin found that the surrounding home trees were similar. Basically, one was infected and the other was not infected. It felt very strange. Why is it so average? Are there two kinds of trees?

It is indeed possible that many different species developed from the same species. Lin believes that as long as they cannot achieve a reproductive relationship with each other, they can be regarded as two kinds of creatures.

There should have been Inca swarms in these home trees, but now they have all gathered in the place where the rock was made, and the nests in these home trees were placed there as if they were discarded.

Soon, Lin arrived at the location of the worm.

The worms didn't go very far underground, and they were only about fifty kilometers away from the battlefield. Lin could know from the collector who was parasitic in a worm that they were all in a home tree.

Maybe decomposing this worm can also understand a little about the purgatory worm.

Lin surrounded the tree with a large number of predators and searched for any entrance in the tree. Soon they found some caves that could lead to the tree. After entering, Lin found that there was only one large space. The tree is also empty inside.

Those worms were hiding right under this home tree, probably in the dirt.

Worms seem to like it very much and are very suitable for drilling holes, so Lin also created a worm type for burrowing.

Lin used this burrower to start digging at the inner bottom of the home tree, and it quickly dug a passage. After digging about ten meters, Lin's burrower found an open cave area below, here About thirty meters wide, there are thick roots of home trees everywhere, and some glowing beetles crawling on the roots, they provide lighting here.

Lin saw that the worms were gathered here before, because the burrowers came out of the top of the cave, and they didn't notice Lin's appearance.

But what are they... doing?

These little worms are spitting out some gray liquid that hardens quickly when it hits the ground, and they keep spitting out the fluid as if combining it into a shape. (To be continued...)
