Chapter 224 Insect Swarm
"Ugh..."
The cry of the scorpion slowly echoed in the cave...
Many scorpions have become corpses floating on the lake, while more scorpions are lying on the shore of the lake. They are very quiet and make no sound at all.
These creatures have lost their consciousness after their final screams.
They no longer belong to 'self' but to the group. The culprit behind this phenomenon is the group of creatures standing on the riverbank...
Inca swarm.
In fact, the 'unification' of the scorpions has nothing to do with the creators of the sea of clouds, but the work of the Inca swarms.
It was only until now that Lin knew about this kind of thing...
The Inca swarm looks very different from before. Not only do they have brand new units, but even the previous shadow monsters have been refurbished a lot, and they look much bigger.
Because shadow monsters are the only units with developed vocal cords, they are preserved.
And why the Inca swarm is here, Lin still doesn't know very well, but I can basically guess the reason why they unified the scorpions, maybe it's just a very simple reason.
They may have encountered the scorpion at some point before, and then felt that the scorpion was a good group, and wanted to integrate them into the group.
However, this time they used a new integration method.
The previous Inca swarms used a fat worm that could extract information, and then handed this information to troops such as queens, and then let them hatch it.
This step process is very troublesome, and the most important thing is that the failure rate is also very high, and there may be individuals such as distortion.
But now if they can directly 'assimilate' the scorpion. Then they can directly income another biological population. If they can do this. That is indeed much stronger than before.
And the scorpions also felt the crisis of being unified, and they came to this place.
I don't know how the scorpions discovered it, but they know that the 'creator' has this wonderful sphere, and the creatures inside can heal their unification, so they came here.
at the same time,
The scorpions also encountered some sea creatures here, so they wanted to use these creatures to attack.
Sure enough, attacking the sea of clouds before was not the purpose of the scorpion, or the sea creatures themselves wanted to attack the sea of clouds. Li Scorpion doesn't have this idea, but their purpose is barely the same...
When it was about to be unified at the end, Li Scorpion even united with the Jade Dragon, just to defeat the Silver Armor Dragon faster and let them come to this mountain.
It's a pity that although they almost succeeded, the Inca swarm was waiting here.
The ball created by the creator, and the creatures inside... Lin can call it a 'disintegrator', which belongs to the type of controller and poses a threat to the division-of-labor species.
This 'disruptor' is unlikely to have an effect on the Inca swarm, and it is unfinished and one of the reasons. But as long as it appears, the Inca Swarm will definitely see this thing as a threat. So they smash it.
Now these scorpions have no thoughts of their own, they lie motionless around the shadow monsters and those huge beetles.
Lin still can't confirm whether they joined the Inca, but it is absolutely not wrong for them to be unified. These scorpions are now unable to move on their own.
The whole thing should be like this, there must be many problems, but Lin feels that this must be caused by the Inca swarm. They have not stopped developing at all during this period, but have become more and more powerful.
The previous method of extracting information has also become a rather advanced method of directly absorbing other races...
Lin still doesn't know how much progress they have made, but the Inca swarm is indeed a species worthy of attention, or a 'dangerous' species...
However, not all scorpions are affected.
Outside the cave, Lin also kept some eyeballs to observe the situation outside. The scorpion lord at the entrance of the cave looked at the cave very anxiously.
Obviously, it is not under the control of 'unification', is it the reason that its shape is too special? Or is it just too far from here?
Lynn felt the need to investigate it a bit.
An eyeball slowly floated behind the scorpion lord, sticking to its shell, and then the eye slowly began to change shape...
At the same time, Lin also made several pompoms stick to the unified scorpion body, and carried out the same investigation on them.
Is that the reason?
After the investigation, Lin felt that the Inca swarm should have used a parasite to affect the scorpion. In fact, Lin had never seen it before, but now I finally know the reason.
This parasite is very small, probably a little bigger than the amoeba, but they gather in large numbers on the nerve center of the scorpion, and slowly have an effect on their behavior, they will change the mental structure of the scorpion, and Slowly erode the nerve centers of the scorpions and restore them to their original state of mind when they were unified...
At the same time, these parasitized scorpions will release a large amount of pheromones, thereby affecting the surrounding scorpions, even if some other scorpions are not infected, they will be affected...
Standing scorpions were originally unified creatures, so they themselves possessed this pheromone.
And that sphere, the Disintegrator, releases brain waves that can interfere with this parasite, and if it interferes for a long time, it may kill them and heal the scorpion.
And this disintegrator will also have some impact on the Inca swarm, which cannot be confirmed, because the only one has been blown up by them.
And because the body structure of the scorpion lord is almost completely separated from the shape designed by the original Att's brain, it will not be affected, and the structure of its body cannot allow this parasite to be parasitized.
Seeing these parasites, Lin felt that the Inca swarm might have used some kind of... special method.
The Inca swarm was once a parasite, and the shape was very similar to this one. Lin felt that they might have extracted information about their 'ancestry' in a special way, and then used them as new weapons to attack.
However, this is just speculation, because it is not known how they found the previous information. Lin remembered that the Inca swarm was digging up the fossils of some fish and other creatures and turning them into living things.
They may have used similar methods to find information about those 'ancestry'.
If there are ancient parasites, they can indeed absorb creatures of other races more perfectly, and they can slowly transform the absorbed creatures, which is indeed much better than the original way of extracting information.
Now, these units of theirs may be obtained through this new method, but they have always been secretive, and they have not done anything big, and have not attacked any continent.
Therefore, Lynn has not encountered them until now.
Just as Lin was investigating these things, the creatures in the depths of the cave also began to move. The scorpions spread their wings, flew towards the top of the cave, and gathered on a cave at the top of the cave.
This cave seems to lead to a deeper place. The location here is the underground of a huge mountain. I did not expect that there are so many cave structures.
And the mountain never showed any signs of collapse.
At the same time that the scorpions gathered at the entrance of the cave, there was movement on the fluorescent water surface.
I saw that a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared on the water surface. As the bubbles increased, a huge creature rushed out of the water.
This creature has the color of alloy all over its body, and it is the alloy monster that fought together with the scorpion and the dust devil before.
Sure enough, they are not normal creatures, but the type of troops of the Inca swarm, but where did they get this kind of troops? Lynn is very interested in this...
It seems that this kind of arms has been mixed into the group of the 'Abyss Alliance' a long time ago, but Li Scorpion did not find it.
A large number of alloy monsters were swimming in the water. Although they looked like metal, their buoyancy was quite good. They quickly swam to the shore of the lake and walked to the shore.
They seem to have been hiding in the water before? Lin hadn't found them when she entered the water, and not only alloy monsters, but also rock monsters and some small arthropods appeared in the water.
It seems that the Inca swarm has gathered in this place in large numbers, and they are all brand-new units, and Lin has never seen these units.
What are they trying to do by gathering so many troops together?
Lin recalled something from the past. The Inca swarm once fought against atmospheric creatures on an island.
Are they also related to the creatures in the sea of clouds? Or did you just gather here by chance and find it suitable as a base?
Lin found that the scorpions had all got into the cave on the rock wall at the top of the cave. Lin immediately let a few pom-poms fly over and followed them into the cave.
At the moment of entering, countless creatures filled the pom-pom's field of vision.
The interior of this cave is 100 meters wide, and whether it is the ground or the rock wall, it is full of dense creatures.
These creatures have different forms, but most of them are of the beetle type, and there are also some creatures that Lin has seen before - exploding armor.
But just like a shadow monster, the size of the explosive armor is much larger than before, while other creatures, Lin has never seen.
It turns out that the Inca swarm has already reserved such a large number of troops here, and all the creatures of this force are looking in this direction.
Suddenly, they moved, and all the creatures were crawling on the rock wall at a uniform speed, and they all rushed towards the cave!
They gushed out of the hole and continued to crawl quickly along the rock wall on the shore of the lake, and the scorpions followed them in the air and flew with the entire swarm.
They seem to be planning to leave this place... and their goal may be in the sky. (To be continued..)
ps: Thank you ~ very cool~ for the reward~
Thank you for the monthly pass of ~Star Breeze and Silver Moon~
