Chapter 10 Possible Threats

While the phage slowly absorbs the invading fungus from the body of the captor and climbs out, the plague dragon is also staring at the ground from high in the sky.

It seems that not only the dragon can transmit information to the fungus, but the fungus can also transmit information to the dragon. It seems to realize that the fungus is being swallowed constantly, and it seems to be planning to take some action.

But now...it's too late.

Two explosive bombs shot out from the muzzle of Bechymos at high speed, and they aimed at the flying dragon below and rushed straight away. When the bombs flew halfway, they suddenly burst into flames, and the two burning bombs directly Hit on the body of the flying dragon, the flames immediately spread across the dragon's body.

Lin uses a new kind of sticky fuel, which can stick to the opponent and burn for a long time.

The burning dragon let out a burst of screams, and flew out from the fungus-covered island.

Lin mainly wants to see what the flying dragon will do when it is burned by the flames, and can it still maintain a clear mind? Or……

'Boom'.

The burning flying dragon rushed into the sea, and the intense flames dissipated in the sea in an instant, but the flying dragon never came up.

Small flying dragons are not afraid of water and can swim. I don’t know if the big ones are the same, but the point is not here. The point should be fungi... afraid of sea water.

Plague fungi will die when they encounter seawater, which is why they didn't pollute the sea. However, judging from the fact that the flying dragon rushed into the sea just now, it didn't consider the fungus on its body. Does this prove that the fungi have not fully controlled it? After all, locusts will even use suicide to spread the fungus.

Leviathan slowly lowered his altitude, and flew above the sea to watch the place where the flying dragon sank.

Although fungi are afraid of seawater, the seawater should not completely penetrate into the body of the flying dragon. The fungus can infect the locust lord who has no water in the body through the locusts. I wonder how the flying dragon is doing now?

"Gulu Gulu..."

Suddenly many bubbles floated on the surface of the water. Then, a huge black shadow floated up from the sea, its limbs stretched out, floating motionless on the sea surface.

...is it dead?

Bechymos approached the water surface, and shot a hook rope from the cannon muzzle below him to catch the flying dragon. And just when Bechymos pulled it up, the flying dragon suddenly spread its wings, raised its head and bit the hook line shot by Bechymos.

But after it lasted for two seconds, it let go again, tilted its head and fell into the water.

It doesn't look like it's completely dead.

Bechymos pulled the dragon out of the water, and slowly flew to another island not far from the fungus-infested island. The island is nothing but dry sand and rocks.

Here, Lin decomposes the flying dragon.

Bechymos released a large number of special units dedicated to decomposing fungal infections. Their shells can prevent fungal penetration and corrosion. These small units drilled into the body of the dragon to detect it.

Like the infected locust, the flying dragon has a large number of fungi in its body, and the organs that were originally used to hold flame liquid have completely become used to hold fungal dust. It is filled with a large amount of fungal dust, as if it is waiting for the flying dragon to spray out at any time.

This seems to represent that the fungus is consciously using the organs in the dragon's body. They know that the dragon usually uses this organ to spray things, so it is filled with a lot of fungus dust.

However, these organs are now soaked in seawater, and the fungus is basically dead. The moment the dragon fell into the water, a large amount of water entered the mouth and respiratory organs. There is a plate-shaped structure in the mouth of the dragon that can be opened and closed. This Lin thinks it is used to prevent the flame from reflashing, but it can also be used to prevent water from entering, but the flying dragon obviously did not close the board when it fell into the water.

And the dragon's brain also showed signs of a large area of ​​infection, like a locust, the fungus and the dragon's brain were mixed together, it was difficult to judge whether the infection was complete or incomplete, the brain was not flooded with water, but it stopped moving due to lack of oxygen.

After inspection, Lin felt that the dragon was no different from a locust, but it would rush into the sea, which should be due to the incomplete control of the fungus.

Lin is more worried. If fungi can infect some intelligent organisms, then they may consciously control other organisms, so... they can form an army of their own.

A mighty army carrying the plague is a terrible threat to Lin and all living things.

What a troublesome species...

Bechymos slowly rose to the sky, watching the bacteriophages slowly devour the entire fungal island. Lin was thinking that the fungi might 'think' of a solution to the phages, so they cannot use the phages when they control highly intelligent creatures.

But it doesn't really matter, Lin doesn't think fungi can change faster than herself.

But no matter what, we must quickly and thoroughly clean up this creature. The current cleaning method is too slow, and Lin needs to speed up the progress. Fortunately, he has devoured several fungal islands before, and Lin has considerable energy to create an army to clean them up. fungus.

Bechymos opened the cannon on his body and released a large number of fliers. These fliers spread out and searched for fungal-infected islands on the sea surface. Each flier had small phages inside their bodies. If you find the island, you can rush to the island to commit suicide, and then use the phage to devour the entire island!

At the same time, for those islands swallowed by Lin, Lin will build some special structures on them. Lin will build a tree-shaped structure base, and then create more flyers and phages to find nearby fungal islands. Trees can also be used as camouflage.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen that kind of echo egg on the nearby islands. So far, I haven't figured out what's going on with that egg. Maybe some troops should go back to the island where there were eggs before and get some eggs back to look at. See how they relate to fungi.

There may be another war, Lin, who will stand in front of all creatures in the Western Continent to fight against the plague!

This kind of war with the forces that destroy everything has a very "great" feeling.

On the other side of the display, the little flying dragon fell asleep on the head worm, and the head worm was staring at the display closely. It also knew the current situation, and it thought it should also join the battle, so it was ready to start quickly To produce troops, Brainworm indicated that one of its troops can fight fungi.

Don't know how long it will take to produce, but a little help is always nice.

Lin's base produced more fliers and joined the ranks of searching for fungi. Day and night passed slowly, and another flier in the mainland discovered some interesting...things.

The flyer has been following the only surviving skeletal dragon for a long time. It is advancing hard in the jungle. Lin's flyer has been following it with changing colors, recording its life and the creatures around it.

Although the skeletal dragons have sharp claws and teeth, they like to attack with various things like the ancient squid, but their technology is higher than that of the ancient squid. For example, the ancient squid only finds sharp objects and ignores non-sharp things, and when the skeletal dragon finds a branch that is not sharp, it will sharpen its head with a rock.

There is also a skeletal dragon that is good at using poison. It will grind some poisonous plants, and then apply the poison on the tip. Lin thinks that doing this may cause poisoning when eating meat, but the skeletal dragon has never been poisoned, it must be effective The choice of the amount of venom and the location of the sting.

However, this does not mean that the skeletal dragon is smarter than the ancient squid, but that their living environment is different.

In this way, the skeleton dragon took a sharp log and the plant venom on it, and slowly moved south in the jungle.

Now, Skeletal Dragon is eyeing a horned dragon in the glade ahead.

This kind of ceratopsian is different from the ones Lin saw before. It is called "protoceratops". It has no horns, but it has a back shield. The pliers-like mouth is digging up the roots of plants.

The ceratopsians that Lin has seen so far have this kind of mouth, and the skeletal dragon will cut off this kind of mouth and use it as something for digging.

The skeletal dragon quietly moved behind the horned dragon, it held up the sharp branch, and then instantly threw the branch at the moment when the Protoceratops lowered its head to eat!

The branch was precisely inserted into the Protoceratops' butt, and the Protoceratops screamed and ran away crazily.

The Skeletal Dragon did not catch up, and the Protoceratops fell down after running a distance of more than ten meters. It became frightened and agitated, causing the toxin to flow in its blood at a high speed, and it died faster.

Skeletal Dragon looked left and right for a while, noticed that there were no carnivorous creatures around, and then walked slowly after being attracted by the screams. The props it brought were not only branches, but also a few stones. These stones were somewhat sharp. , some flat but sharp, it hangs on the leg with a slender vine, first inserts a sharp stone into the weak neck of Protoceratops, then widens the wound, and then cuts it off with a flat stone The pieces of meat inside are edible.

It is also really good at using all kinds of things, so it seems that it has grown a lot of limbs, but these things are still not as convenient as its own limbs, and it is estimated that due to frequent use of these things, the body of the skeleton has become weaker. Relatively thin, it can't fight some carnivorous creatures even if it is about its size.

"Coo! Coo!" A creature's cry suddenly sounded in the forest, and on a tree in the distance, a small creature was making a cry.

That was the sound made by a small dinosaur less than 20 centimeters long known as the "Skeletal Dragon". It screamed immediately after seeing the prey that the Skeletal Dragon was hunting.

It has only one purpose, to tell other carnivorous creatures that there is food here.

Because the chinchilla didn't dare to approach the skeletal dragon, but it would call some larger carnivorous creatures that allowed it to share the pie.

The creatures in this jungle are quite intelligent.

Lin noticed that there were noises from the surrounding woods, and some creatures came along with the smell of blood.

The skeletal dragon suddenly became nervous. It pulled out the wooden thorns on the Protoceratops, and stared at the surrounding jungle with all its attention... (to be continued...)
