Chapter 54 The Path of the Assassin

In the body of the Plague Chief, Lin only saw a piece of darkness, surrounded by some pipe-like structures, the pipes were covered with a large number of hyphae, and the melters were riding the sea water to flow deep into these pipes .

However, the sound of 'clicking' is constantly coming from around, and it seems that the whole place is constantly vibrating.

Lin felt that this feeling was very obvious...

'Boom! ’ Suddenly, accompanied by a dull underwater explosion, the head detached from the head of the plague and floated to the surface of the sea.

Some melters who hadn't gotten in saw the situation clearly in the sea, and saw that there was a hardened purple shell on the broken neck of the head of the plague, which seemed to prevent the water from entering. It now looks like a headless giant creature , is receding step by step to the deep sea.

The severed head floated on the surface of the sea, and the thawers including Lin found that the structure inside began to show autolysis, and the cells inside began to disintegrate themselves, releasing a huge amount of lysate. In ten seconds, the head dissipated into a layer of strange-colored grease on the sponge, and Lin didn't even have time to observe the structure inside.

This is a very smart approach, but Lin doesn't know whether it has this kind of autolysis mechanism itself, or it is deliberately self-dissolved to prevent Lin from decomposing and understanding it...

But now the head of the plague has no head, it can no longer continue to attack, its huge body is now staying motionless in the sea, but Lin will not let this opportunity pass, all the melters quickly swim towards the head of the plague Go, if it was on land, even if a small unit like the Meltator had a chance, it would take a long time to kill such a large creature, but now in the sea, they only need to get water into the opponent's body, and they can easily deal with it. The head of the plague.

"Goo..."

The head of the plague seemed to have noticed something, it took huge steps, and continued to retreat. Heavy footsteps can stir up countless dust on the seabed every time, scaring away the fish hiding inside.

Then, the head of the plague began to swing its body back and forth, and a strong current of water immediately spread along with its body, and the tiny melter was immediately thrown away by the strong current, unable to approach the target at all.

Moreover, it kept shaking. It was an eerie feeling to watch a creature with no head and only two legs dangle in the water.

In this case, Lin felt that she could ignore it and just keep an eye on it. Now the Plague Chief has no attack power and is on the sea. The battle also seemed to be suspended. The plague fungus army was almost blocked by the fire wall and could not move forward. They could only attack by the air force. However, under Lin's shelling, no arms could get close.

The fungus is attacking the island with all its might,

But Lin's attention is not limited to this.

In the distance, another force has approached the 'Five Plague Islands'. These troops set off before the war started, and went around behind the army of fungi. Now, Lin has searched which island is most likely to hide the wisdom leader.

It mainly relies on information. If it is the brain of a division-type species, it will rely on some methods to command the arms, which may be smell information or electrical information, and Lin has detected which island has the largest amount of information. On the third island, the arms used for detection sensed some strange smells, and they were constantly spreading out of the island.

So it was decided to be here, and a large number of troops slowly approached the edge of the island...

The vanguard of the troops is a new type of troops called 'Assassins', as the name suggests, they are here to assassinate the 'brains' of fungi.

They climb up the island from the fringe beaches, using their color-changing skills. They avoided the 'eyes' of the fungus, and quietly advanced in Island No. 3.

The ground here is covered with mycelium, and like the island of fungi, these fungi have no ability to infect. Instead, a large mushroom structure and algae symbiosis grew to absorb light energy. Now the island is full of broken fungi sacs, and almost all the fungus went to the battle...

But there is one exception, Lynn called it 'big-eyed dragon', this creature looks like a reptile, only half a meter in length, with particularly large eyes and well-developed vision, they are usually located under those wide mushroom umbrellas, They can be seen looking around constantly, as if to see if there are any intruders around.

Lin's Assassin troops shuttled among the mushrooms, walking slowly without attracting attention. The Assassins were one and a half meters long, only slightly larger than the Predator, and similar in appearance to the Predator, but had many ' Hidden weapon', used to instantly kill the target.

The assassin moved towards the direction where the smell was the strongest, and Lin felt that the smell was constantly being released from the center of the island.

The island is not big, and the assassin quickly approached the center of the island. Lin hadn't seen it before, because in an area in the center, several large mushrooms were continuously spraying a purple mist into the air, covering the entire area. They were all shrouded in purple mist, and they couldn't see clearly from high altitude, but after entering, the assassin found that the fog here was not very thick.

After entering the purple mist area, the assassin closed the breathing hole and used the oxygen stored in his body to breathe. The mist contained a lot of bacterial dust, and the ground here was similar to before, with mycelium everywhere, but there was no Large mushrooms grew, like a clearing.

If there's some kind of intelligent creature, it's supposed to be hiding in a hole somewhere, not outside... wait, what's that?

On a flat ground, Lin saw a tentacle-like protrusion, about two meters high, and the surrounding area was empty. It was very conspicuous...not only conspicuous in terms of vision, but also in terms of smell. Smell, Lin even felt some electrical current-like signals.

Lin asked the assassins to spread out and surround the tentacles. One of the assassins walked over slowly, stretched out his claws and stabbed the tentacles.

The moment the claw touched, the tentacles retracted into the ground with a 'swish' sound.

"Gah!" Suddenly there were countless calls from the mushroom trees around the open space. These were the big-eyed dragons crawling under the mushroom umbrellas. They jumped off the mushroom umbrellas and rushed to the center of the open space in groups. .

"Gah...?" But after they rushed in, all they saw was an empty area, and nothing was found...

The hidden effects of the Assassins are fully integrated with the surrounding environment, and can even simulate smells, etc. The fungus should probably control a creature that uses echolocation to find them.

Although the big-eyed dragons hadn't seen the enemy yet, they still didn't leave, but stayed still around the open space.

Lin ignored them. The assassin stabbed the tentacles with his claws just now, and released a miniature unit inside. It located the tentacles and found that the tentacles had shrunk to a depth of nearly thirty meters.

And the hole it left after it drilled in was just big enough for an assassin to pass through. Lin let the assassin slowly walk towards the hole in front of the big-eyed dragon, even though they were moving, they didn't seem to notice.

The assassins got into the holes of the tentacles one by one, the inside is quite narrow, they can only enter in line, but this kind of passage will become wider and wider in the end...

here is……

After walking more than 30 meters deep, the assassins really entered a spacious space. Because the surroundings were very dark, Lin asked one of the assassins to emit an echo to explore the surrounding environment...

'despair. ’ When the echoes spread throughout the cave, the assassins found a sight that surprised Lin... In this cave, there are actually three... heads!

It was the heads of the Plague Chiefs. The echo brought their shapes into Lin's thoughts perfectly. They were exactly the same as the ones seen at sea, and they were the same size.

But these heads are placed horizontally on the ground, which means that they don't seem to be connected to the body. Was the head of the plague really manufactured? And it is manufactured separately.

The assassins moved slowly inside the head of the plague head, exploring the depths. At the same time, Lin asked some of the assassins to get into the 'mouth' of the head of the plague to have a look, and found that there was a hardened passage inside. , nothing special.

These are probably 'unfinished products', maybe the body is the body, and the head is just a launcher.

But the size of this cave is not enough to accommodate the body, I don't know where the body was made...

'Tack. ’Suddenly an unconfirmed white object appeared in the echo image, and everything Lin had never seen before would be displayed as white.

It seemed to be a huge creature, with a huge lower body abdomen, dragging on the ground like a fat worm, around the abdomen were eight pairs of jointed limbs for movement, the upper body stood tall, and around the body were three pairs of sharp claws.

This creature looks very strange, in terms of size, it looks like the queen of a division of labor species, but it has many limbs for combat, and there is only one here, I don’t know if it is a high-intelligence controlled by the plague fungus Creatures, but smells and electrical signals are constantly emitted from the tentacles on its head...

That being the case, let's get rid of it first...

There were thirty assassins who came in. Lin spread them out and stretched out a pair of slender limbs. The end of the limbs was a small spike with an opening, inside which was prepared a kind of "fungus". Disinfectin' is a strong toxin that breaks the connection between the fungus and the infected organism, disintegrating the hyphae within it.

The assassin's shot made no sound, and the tiny spikes raced through the darkness to the creature's fat belly.

'clang! ' A small voice rang out, and the seemingly soft abdomen bounced off the small needle shot by the assassin. The creature noticed the small sound instantly, and it roared violently. Along with the roar, this The whole cave instantly lit up! (to be continued...)
