Chapter 52 The Fungal... Head?
'boom--! '
The sound of explosion suddenly sounded on the ocean. The moment hundreds of Styx cannons were fired, the sea level was lifted like a tsunami, and endless waves scattered in the air with the sound of the explosion. When they fell back to the surface of the water, dozens of sea filter monsters and the fungus monsters on their backs had already sunk into the deep sea under the impact of the explosion.
The army of the plague has clearly been breached by Lin. With such heavy casualties, Lin can feel the wrath of the plague fungus even without using her sensory organs...they do have emotions.
There are not many sea monsters left. The density of this large creature must be very scattered. Lin doesn't know how the plague fungus caught so many monsters, but it must have taken a long, long time. time……
And now, they will be completely destroyed under Lin's explosive bomb!
'Boom! '
The Styx giant cannon fired again, hundreds of explosive bombs streaked across the sea, and the roaring crackling sound once again splashed monstrous waves, and there was nothing left on the sea...
……and many more.
Under the falling waves, countless densely packed small units suddenly appeared. This is a fish with a body length of about two meters. Because it has thick flippers and likes to climb on land, it is also infected by fungi. In the shelling just now, the sea filter monsters have been completely lost, but this is only the vanguard of the plague fungus. Is it this kind of fish that will be followed?
Each of these fish can only carry one medium-sized fungus monster, but there are quite a lot of them... like raindrops.
'Boom! '
Hundreds of explosive bombs exploded above the dense fish school, and countless flesh and pieces were immediately blown up, but more survivors continued to move forward with the advantages of numbers and speed. The speed of this kind of fish can reach More than 20 meters away, and now they have approached the coast one kilometer away from the beach. The fungus monsters riding on the fish uttered a strange howl that resounded across the sea, as if showing the wrath of the plague.
Looking at the school of fish approaching, thirty Styx cannons raised their bodies and fired thirty specially-made explosive bombs into the air.
These bombs landed in front of the school of fish in a throwing trajectory. When they burst open, a large amount of liquid spread out from inside, dyeing the entire sea surface with a strange color.
On top of this layer of color, a tiny spot of light suddenly lit up... Around this area, a burst of raging flames suddenly ignited, and they instantly expanded and burned with the color of the water surface, forming a wall of fire to block the school of fish before.
Face the flames. The school of fish did not stop. The moment they passed the wall of fire, the fungus monsters on their backs were covered with flames all over their bodies, and because of the high temperature, the fungi in their bodies began to deteriorate and their structures were damaged. The fungus also affects fish. In the end, both parties died together and sank into the sea...
Although countless schools of fish rushed into the fire wall frantically, no fish could rush out behind the fire wall.
Lin felt that the fungus couldn't perfectly control the troops, but it was also very convenient to destroy them... What is that?
When Lin noticed the sea of fire on the water surface, something strange suddenly appeared in the originally cloudless sky, and the seemingly purple clouds swayed above the blue sky. And it's getting closer to the ground.
The Plague Cloud, as it was called, was actually a mass of fungal dust and agglomerations of small flying arthropods.
Beside the cannon of Styx, a large number of small forts rose from the sand, and they aimed at the purple clouds in the sky at the same time.
shooting!
Countless spikes slanted out from the fort, like a storm rising from the ground, sharp bone spurs rushed into the plague cloud, and the sound of carapace being pierced and torn also sounded. After a while, a large number of arthropod remains fell from the air on the beach along with the bacteria dust.
These fungus dust quickly absorbed the remains of arthropods and began to grow and spread rapidly. They exploded with countless hyphae and crawled towards the nearest fort and Styx cannon. Some even tried to grow into the shape of mushrooms. The earth swells, and then explodes, spewing out more bacteria dust.
Both the cannon of the Styx and the casing Lin of the turret have been 'polished'. There are almost no protrusions or gaps on it, and the fungal dust and arthropod limbs cannot stick to it, but they spread from the surrounding sand in large numbers, and some mycelia have already climbed onto the fort.
But at this time. A kind of blue colloidal mucus seeped out from the sand grains, and they spread rapidly, covering the mycelium and the remains of arthropods on the ground, and the huge amount of micro-species contained in the mucus began to decompose these bacteria. Filaments, they tore the hyphae into pieces like phages.
Lin has already made all kinds of preparations. The aerial attack of the plague fungus is just to send nutrients to Lin. The shredded mycelium and arthropod remains will be transported underground. These nutrients can make more explosive bombs. fight back.
The flames on the surface of the sea have gradually become smaller at this time, and the fish schools of the plague fungus are still rushing into the fire. Dozens of incendiary bombs were fired, and the light of the flames instantly became much more intense than before.
If Lin wanted to, she could make this sea of fire burn for several days and nights, and keep the plague fungus away forever.
However, the plague fungus does not want to be isolated. Some huge figures appeared above the sea of flames. They spread their wings and flew in the air, and opened their mouths to spray a huge amount of purple dust on the burning flames. Under the dust, The flames slowly died out.
Those are flying dragons, about ten meters long, not very big, but there are quite a few of them. Dozens of them are hovering above the flames and doing the work of putting out the fire.
In the next second, the Styx cannon had already fired hundreds of explosive bombs at the group of flying dragons. When the flying dragons saw the firing, they flapped their wings and tried to dodge, but most of the flying dragons were still hit by the explosive bombs, but after the roar After the sound passed, Lin unexpectedly discovered that there was no damage to the places where the flying dragons were bombed.
Some wyverns fell into the sea as their wing membranes were blown apart, but most survived almost unharmed.
This is really strange, could their armor be as hard as that of the wyvern Lynn found in the cave under the salt? If there is, it can indeed resist the impact bomb just now.
Lin thinks that such a solid shell can only be found in specific places, such as the crater. However, the carapace of this group of flying dragons is purple, and it looks like it is made of fungus, so it shouldn't have this kind of defense.
Forget it, no matter so much, I will study it slowly later, Lin loaded several Styx cannons with armor-piercing shells, and aimed at the purple flying dragons again.
'Boom! '
The loud sound of the shelling resounded through the sky, and the sharp rotating warheads shot out rapidly, and the bodies of several flying dragons were pierced through instantly. The rotating force shredded their internal organs, but after shooting through the flying dragons, the bodies of the armor-piercing projectiles were also damaged. And it shattered and couldn't be used anymore.
The hardness of this armor is really special, but the armor-piercing bullets can still drill through, but in order to drill more easily, Lin may have to prepare some special 'dissolving armor-piercing bullets'. At the same time, a large amount of solution is released.
'Boom! There was another loud noise, but this time, it was not from Lin. The flames in an area of the burning sea had already been extinguished by the flying dragon. The noise just now caused a lot of water here to splash. The large sphere flew out of the water and flew towards the beach.
A Styx cannon immediately fired a bomb at the sphere, and the moment they collided, a burst of purple mist and solution mixed together and sprinkled into the surrounding sea.
‘Boom, boom, boom! ’ Immediately afterwards, three sounds sounded at the same time, and three such balls flew out of the water again, but they were shot down by the giant cannon on the way.
Does the fungus hide any units that can bombard it underwater? They shouldn't be able to open any mouths underwater. If it leads to water ingress, the seawater will kill the fungi in the organisms.
'Goo...'
Suddenly, on the surface of the water where the sphere was shot, a large number of bubbles began to appear like boiling, as if something was floating out.
The next moment, with the continuous tremor of the sea water, a huge... What is this?
Lin looked at the thing that looked like the head of a...creature. There were three holes in its 'face'. It looked like it had two eyes and a mouth, but it was just empty, with nothing in it.
This 'head' is more than seven meters high, quite huge, as if some creature stood on the bottom of the sea and then stuck its head out of the water. The entire surface of the head is covered by a layer of hardened fungus, I don't know What is the structure inside.
It seems to have been hidden in the sea for a long time, probably hidden deep in the seabed, because Lin also searched the seabed at that time, but found nothing. The infected sea creatures were all gathered on the water surface at the edge of the island.
It's amazing how fungi would hide this thing in the sea...
"嚄..." The head on the surface of the sea suddenly made a strange sound, the three holes on its face suddenly widened, and then it suddenly burst into three thick jets of water!
The water column swept across the sea at high speed, rushed onto the beach, and directly hit a Styx cannon on the beach.
Lin suddenly felt that the shell of the cannon was corroded by the strong solution, and a huge amount of needle-like objects penetrated into the cannon's body, penetrating the cells inside, because the cannon was completely submerged in this solution, and it itself It is difficult for the immune person brought to compete against such a large number of opponents.
Not only that, even the sea surface and the beach that the water sprayed from the head on the sea has touched, now there are a lot of mycelia, and their growth rate is several times faster than that of common plague fungi! (to be continued...)
