Chapter 151 The Monster Attacking the Ship
When the skeletal dragons on the mainland developed, this chubby thing rolling among the waves was not far behind. The group of headworms had completely occupied the island, where it built a large number of rocky mountains. There are also criss-cross passages between the rocks and mountains, and various troops shuttle through them.
Although occupying the island, the group of headworms did not overcrowd the living space of the island's original organisms, and a perfect balance was reached between them.
"It's like rolling across a field of grass without overwhelming any grass. This is an art." Brainworm commented on his group.
Speaking of which, the brainworm also slowly understood the thing of 'art' from Lin.
After Lin created the dreamland, the brain worms also liked to come to this place. Lin did not limit the time for the brain worms to enter, because unexpectedly, the brain worms were not very "addicted" here, perhaps because of its rich thinking ability Let it not be like the skeletal dragons, who can't distinguish between illusion and reality after a long time. Some skeletal dragons will become a little strange after staying for a long time, so they can't be allowed to come in for too long.
When the head worm comes in, it usually likes to roll over in some soft places, and sometimes it will come here specifically to talk to Lin about something, for example, this is the case now.
The brain worms have expanded to the peak on the island, but an isolated island can only accommodate a certain number of creatures. If you want to continue to develop the community, you need a larger area.
The brain worm also thought about returning to the mainland, but it prefers this island and its sea view.
In fact, Lin didn't want it to return to the mainland, otherwise it might conflict with Skeletal Dragon. Then there are some troubles.
Fortunately, the limitation of the island is obviously not a problem for the brain worms, and the brain worms use the collected wood. Stones, mixed with some slime to create huge ships.
This ship is more than 50 meters long and can hold a lot of troops, but its strength has not been tested, nor has the brain worm been tested, but it is intended to be used directly.
While the brain worm is developing in the sea, it also wants to create a new brain worm for its own group as a commander, and it has already thought of a name. It's called Amon.
Generally, a brain worm colony will produce one brain worm every certain period of time, usually about thirty years, but there are exceptions, that is, when the colony is too large but there is only one brain worm.
However, before that, the brain worm planned to try out how its own ship was, so it brought a bunch of troops aboard the ship. It still uses the 'sail' used before to move forward on the sea.
But the idea of a brainworm voyage didn't last long,
Just a few hundred meters away from the island, the headworm's boat was attacked. It is said that it was hit by some kind of giant creature from the sea, causing the bottom of the boat to leak, and the entire hull was smashed to pieces by successive attacks. The ship and a large number of troops later sank into the sea.
Because the head worm was riding on the flying dragon, it was not in any danger, but the head worm still felt very... Angry! But it has nothing to do, because there are no aquatic units, so it can only give up.
to here. Lin still doesn't think it's very strange, there are some big marine life in the sea area near this continent. Lin felt that they might not have been affected by the last disaster, or they had escaped in some way. In short, it is not difficult for these huge monsters to easily destroy the brainworm's ship.
However, after that, the brainworm built several more boats, and it was even more reinforced, but every time it went to sea, it would almost always be attacked at that position. This place is more suspicious. It seems that there are some creatures deliberately lying in ambush The appearance of attacking in the sea.
According to the head worm, every time its troops fell into the sea, no creatures would eat them, and many of them managed to swim back to the island, which meant that the creatures that attacked it were not for food.
This is even more suspicious.
Therefore, Lin also wanted to see what was attacking the brainworm's ship in the sea.
After waking up from the dream, Lin quickly let a unit—Bechymos fly to the place where the head worm sunk the ship to investigate, and the head worm also came out of the dream, riding its flying dragon to meet at the destination.
"That is, sinking point."
Bechymos and the flying dragon were flying above the sea. The flying dragon was startled when it first saw Bechymos, but quickly calmed down under the words of the head worm. Now, the head worm is instructing Lin There are still some floating debris on the surface of the water where the ship sank. The latest ship of the head worm sank the previous day and night.
In other words, that creature may still be nearby and not leave...
Thinking about it, Bechymos immediately dived under the sea water, and the moment Lin felt his whole body was cold, Lin saw a huge monster underwater.
It was a shark, just below Bechymos. Lin remembered seeing this kind of shark. The last time she was in a river in the mainland, it turned out to be like this. Then it seems that the one in the river really swam from the sea. of.
Although it was a giant, it was still much smaller than Bechymos. The sudden appearance of Bechymos frightened the shark, and it quickly swung its body and disappeared into the darkness of the deep sea.
Bechymos ignored the sharks, but released a large number of fliers. This kind of scouting unit that can be used both in sea and air, Lin has always liked. They spread out in the water, searching for any nearby creatures that might attack.
And Bechymos stayed where he was, to see if he would be attacked by something...
In this way, Lin waited until the dark night, and the head worm rode the flying dragon around in the sky, but... Lin did not wait for any attack.
And the exploration of the flyers has also achieved a lot of results. Speaking of which, the ocean here... is really rich in creatures. plankton.
At the same time, Lin also recorded many giant creatures. Generally speaking, those with a body length of more than ten meters can be considered giant. Except for one kind of shark, the others are relatively 'primitive' creatures. Lin recorded several Mobs that have the potential to attack ships.
Oceanic horseshoe crab, a scorpion-like arthropod, is more than 10 meters long and may weigh more than ten tons. It can use the jet tube at the tail to charge.
Wild wave worm, a large worm with a length of more than 20 meters, likes to cruise on the sea surface, devouring any fish and other creatures, even giant sharks...
Sea and air jellyfish, a giant jellyfish more than 50 meters in length, Lin thinks it may be the same kind of air jellyfish that I have seen before, it can live in the sea or in the air, it is a very interesting creature.
Obviously jellyfish are more likely to attack, but they usually eat plankton. This kind of jellyfish likes to fly over the sea surface and catch a large number of small creatures on the sea surface with their tentacles. They should not try to attack the ship of the brain worm.
In other words, did you find nothing? That's not true, on the seabed below the sunken ship, one of Lynn's fliers found something that he had seen on the mainland...a split brain.
This wonderful thing has the same appearance as that produced by the Brain Builder in the mainland, surrounded by red crystals, and there is a white thing inside.
Lin asked the flyer to decompose this crystal, and found that the brain inside was dead and would not release brain waves. This kind of split brain can live in water, so it will not be drowned. The main reason for the death is because Invaded by a worm.
The worm, a common type of parasitic sea worm that also specializes in attacking shellfish, burrowed through tiny holes in its crystallized surface and ate part of the brain inside.
However, after discovering this split brain, there are more and more suspicious parts. Lin has always suspected that there is something strange left in the Ater group. The unit affects the nearby giant jellyfish to attack the headworms.
This kind of unit may be hidden on purpose, but you can't find it if you look for it deliberately. There is only one way to find this target...that is to let it attack again.
Lin asked the head worm to ride back on the flying dragon first, and then let Bechymos float to the surface of the sea. At this time, Bechymos released a type of troops called "shell coaters". The shell coaters secrete a large amount of mucus. Shemoth formed a thin shell outside the body, which made Behemoth look exactly like the appearance of the headworm's ship, and it happened that Behemoth was also very similar in size.
Lin quickly finished coating the shell in the dark, and when the day came again, Bechymos was quietly waiting on the sea surface...
The surface of the sea looked quite quiet, as if nothing would happen... But under the sea, Lin already felt something was about to move.
The word ready to move seems very interesting, does it mean that the thing that is about to move is stupid?
However, this creature was indeed a little stupid. It didn't realize that it was Bechymos's disguised shell. It was getting faster and faster in the sea, and then... rushed out of the water!
The powerful impact instantly shattered Behemoth's camouflage film, and Lin also saw the true face of the attacking thing. This is... a mantis shrimp?
This mantis shrimp is nearly ten meters long. Speaking of which, Lin seems to have forgotten this kind of creature. This kind of creature has extremely strong attack power. Even if it is not very big, it may smash the boat of the brainworm.
And this one is already big enough, but Lin didn't find it when she detected it before. Could it be hidden somewhere? But Lin didn't just use eyes to detect, but also used various methods such as sound...
Wait, I seem to have seen this Mantis Shrimp before... That's right! When Lin was tracking the brain of the plague fungus, there was a mantis shrimp like this guarding the brain crystallization... (to be continued...)
