Chapter 14 The Far Traveler

The entire fungus is slowly turning into puddles of mud.

The tactics of the 'Bacteroids' are even simpler. They are small arms with a scorpion-shaped appearance and a length of only about five centimeters. From the tail, they can spray out Lin's new powerful dissolving solution for fungi, and they will quickly dissolve the structure of the fungus. And these sprayed lysates also contain tiny phages, which can swallow the dissolved fungi and grow rapidly, eventually forming a large phage. At the same time, they also decompose the swallowed fungi and find A way to filter the miasma they unleash.

As for the plague fungus, before it could respond to Lin's new method, it slowly died out.

The fungal miasma and spewing wood chips are not new abilities evolved for Lin, but their original abilities. They have not been used because they have not been attacked for a long time. It turns out that they may have fought with some creatures, so they have this appearance The defense ability, only creatures that are not afraid of their infection can let them use this defense ability.

What kind of creature is it?

Watching the phages continue to expand and devour the island, Lin still doesn't know any creatures that can fight the plague fungus. It may be some kind of large creature, or the creature that lays echo eggs...

Compared to using big ones, Lin thinks it is more effective to attack them with small units, but rather than using cells, Lin still prefers to use miniature multi-cellular units that are larger than cells, because the functions of multi-cells are much more abundant than single-cells.

By the way, at that time, we can try to create a purely multicellular organism. For example, what flows in the blood vessels is not a single cell but multicellular. Using multicellular to undertake immunity and other things will feel more powerful.

Now the phages are slowly devouring the fungus, and it may take many days and nights for such a large island to be completely swallowed. Lin's other fliers flew around, looking for more islands...

This may be the last island. Before coming here, Lin had searched nearby. There are no islands in this area anymore. In fact, the fungus-infected islands accounted for only half of the islands that Lin found in the offshore of the mainland, and the remaining half were deserted islands covered with dust.

The swimmers are also often seen in this area. There is always a lot of gravel on their island-like backs, which isolates them from fungus infection.

In the next few days and nights, Lin asked the fliers to disperse more to distant islands to search for fungi, and found quite a few islands. But there was no trace of the fungus.

There are many creatures on some islands, and the whole island is also covered in green. It doesn't look like it is infected by fungi. It seems that just like Lin thought, the previous island is the last one.

Fungi are certainly not extinct,

They don't know where they will appear again. But at least it can't be found in the offshore of the mainland.

Does that mean the war on fungi is over for now?

It doesn't seem so simple.

Just when Lin thought there was no problem, shadows of fungi began to appear in the sky above many sea surfaces.

These fungi are different from the past. They use a new method to create a buoyant pompom with a diameter of about one meter. These pompoms appear in large numbers on the sea surface. A proliferating infection eats away at the island.

They seem to have come from far away. This kind of fluffy ball floats much farther than ordinary fungus dust, and it can hold a huge amount of fungus dust inside. It is a newer way of spreading, but Lin doesn't know whether they use this method to fight against Lin, or to say They just 'figured up' new ways to communicate.

In any case, Lin can no longer find the fungus in the coastal waters of the mainland, and these fluffy balls floating from a distance for infection have provided Lin with new clues, and Bechymos will go to find the place of origin of the fluffy ball , looking for the root of the fungus.

At this time, Lin is also paying attention to the exploration situation in the mainland.

It's been a few days and nights...

The sky brightened again. With the scorching sun rising, in the desert of the mainland, Lin re-dissolved and transformed the body of the 'Armored Pterosaur'. In fact, this pterosaur was already Lin's weapon, and the cells in its body were also devoured by Lin. do. In the end, Lin added a floating air bag structure to its body, but it still couldn't fly, probably related to its body structure.

In the end, the overall structure was shrunk down a bit. The original seven-meter-long wingspan was shrunk by Lin to about three meters, and the whole body was much smaller than before. This armored creature finally rose into the air!

This may be the first pterosaur with scale armor. The main reason why it took so long is that the flight structure of these creatures and arthropods is too different, and it feels quite troublesome to make. During this period, Lin also Attacked by other small pterosaurs.

But now it was finally completed. Under the scorching sun, it spread its wings and quickly flew towards the place where the skeleton dragon was.

The way of flapping the wings of pterosaurs is very different from that of arthropods, but Lin quickly became familiar with it. After flying across the desert, Lin returned to the place where the skeletal dragon was originally, and there was a rock at that position.

Of course, the skeletal dragon is no longer here, but Lin's modified pterosaur can smell its smell from the dry gravel. This creature has been walking south.

Lin rose into the sky and looked around. There were many kinds of dinosaurs living in the desert. They seemed to prefer this hot and open area to the jungle. Eat those low plants.

And the plants here are not showing weakness. Some plants prefer to eat dinosaurs instead of secreting venom after being eaten passively. Some plants have grown trap-like structures. Now Lin happened to fly over one such plant above.

This plant looked like a tiny leafy plant about ten centimeters long at a high altitude. A dinosaur called a tree dragon approached here, and it happened to touch the sharp thorn on the ground.

'boom! '

Suddenly, two huge blade-like structures popped up on the surrounding sand. These blades are three meters long and about two meters wide, and the inside is covered with green spikes.

The two leaves clamped the tree dragon inside, and blood slowly flowed out from the gaps in the leaves... Then the leaves began to slowly dive into the sand, digesting and dissolving it under the sand.

This kind of plant is called Cruel Piercing. It is usually hidden under the desert, and the exposed one is only used as a 'bait'. Whenever a creature touches it, the two leaves hidden in the desert will close.

There are plants like this everywhere in this area. It is not easy for dinosaurs to live here.

The skeleton dragon might have gone to the river, and Lin is now flying in that direction, and soon, Lin saw the river glistening in the sun.

On the river, a group of multi-halved dragons are fighting each other, it seems that it is the breeding season, their males are fighting for the right to breed, Lin flew over them, did not see the skeleton dragon, but found it in the smell floating on the river traces of it.

It seems to be going downstream.

Lin mainly wanted to see how the community life of creatures like the skeleton dragon was like. Lin followed the flow of the river and went downstream.

The river in this desert is about 30 meters wide, and the river water is quite clear, so Lin can see a creature moving forward in the water.

This kind of creature is called a "crocodile". It doesn't seem to be a dinosaur, but a large reptile. Although it is not big enough to sneak attack on the group of tyrannosaurus, that's why I followed Lin here. The pterosaur, it probably wants to wait for the pterosaur to get close to the water surface and then sneak attack, in this case...

Lin asked the pterosaur to lower its height and flew above the river. The crocodile really speeded up and swam over from behind. At the moment it approached, it suddenly opened its mouth and rushed out of the water, but before that, Lin It spread its wings and lifted into the air to avoid the attack, and at the same time threw an egg into the open mouth of the crocodile.

The crocodile didn't realize it after swallowing it, and then it gave up tracking the pterosaur and swam away.

Now, Lin's pterosaur flew into a canyon, the river flowed slowly between the canyons, and a huge long-necked dragon slowly moved in the water...

This may be the largest dinosaur that Lin has ever seen. Half of its body is in the water. Even so, it has a height of more than 20 meters when it raises its head. Every time it moves, the surrounding water creates waves. The dragon is called the 'Poseidon Dragon'. Although it is magnificent, it is not what Lin is looking for.

The smell has been continuing in the river, and slowly began to become heavier. These relatively calm waters can retain the smell well.

Finally, in the steep canyon, Lin followed the smell and found a trail leading up between the cliffs.

On the trail, Lin finally saw the figure of the bone dragon.

It was lying on the sand at this time, and several small pterosaurs were pulling its tail and legs, but it itself was motionless, and seemed to be dead. The moment Lin flew down, these The little pterosaurs immediately scattered away, but they refused to fly away, and were still flying around.

Lin carefully checked the skeleton dragon. It didn't seem to be dead, but it was already very weak. The main reason seemed to be hunger and excessive physical exertion.

Maybe this skeletal dragon is nearing the end of its life, is it necessary to save it? Or disassemble it, look at the brain and other structures inside, and then go find their communities by yourself?

Lin hesitated a little, but finally decided to revive it. It was easier to follow a living creature than to find it by herself.

Lin asked the pterosaur to combine a pure nutrient solution in its body, and then gave it to drink the liquid.

Dozens of seconds after drinking it, Lin could feel its heart beating slowly, and its body was recovering rapidly...

Looks like it will be revived soon. (to be continued...)
