In a world where millimeters could also be considered gigantic, a small war was unfolding.
After a period of preparation, Lin gathered the Pioneer cells and miniaturized soldiers scattered on the ground together. These cells gathered together to form an even larger miniaturized soldier.
And this miniaturized army was now on the move.
Lin called them 'Infestors', but they were of different species. Most of them were in the form of ants and spiders. Lin felt that the insect form was the closest to 'perfection'. Whether it was fighting, running, or hiding, they were perfectly adapted to almost everything.
The miniaturized army leaped between the boulder-like dust. Their target was the nearest crystal lizard. This one-centimeter-tall creature now looked like an incomparably tall mountain. It swayed its sparkling crystalline body, fiddling with something under the wall.
Lin's Infestors approached its crystal-covered tail.
Lin wasn't sure if this thing had a tail, but it did indeed protrude from the back of the crystal lizard like a tail. Looking at it from a microscopic perspective, this tail looked like a towering cliff.
Lin's army slowly climbed up its tail. Since this was the first time they were approaching this creature, they had to be careful.
Its tail wasn't smooth, and there were many small protrusions around it. It felt like they were in a cave of crystals.
However, Lin didn't see any openings on it that they could crawl through. It didn't have pores or holes like other creatures.
Lin felt that its structure was also very strange. Lin had a few Infestors collect some debris from its surface. After analyzing this material. Lin found that it was somewhat metal-like. It didn't look like the crystals on pom-poms.
Perhaps there were no openings on its entire body. Lin came out of the hole on the top of its head, but she felt that there was no need to climb up. She would just open a hole here and try to crawl in.
With that in mind, Lin had a few Infestors start opening holes on the ground, which was the surface of the crystal lizard's tail. These Infestors were equipped with powerful jaws. As long as they opened up to the limit and closed up...
Crack! Accompanied by a small sound, a large amount of debris flew up. A crack appeared on the surface of the crystal lizard's skin...
They continued to enlarge the crack, as if they were digging a hole. Lin made the hole bigger and bigger. At the same time, Lin found that the crystal lizard didn't seem to feel anything.
Slap! The Tainted bit down once more, and a large amount of debris flew into the air. Lin saw the structure behind the crystallized skin. It looked like … jelly?
From the outside, the structure of the crystal lizard's skin looked a bit like the 'jelly' inside a starfish's body, but it was black. Starfish were white because they were in a sticky, gelatinous state. Therefore, it would not gush out like blood.
What was that sound?
Suddenly, Lin heard many small sounds coming from all around her.
Many small 'creatures' appeared around the invaders. They were completely black and had a metallic luster.
They were about the same size as Lin's troops. Lin's Infestors were made up of tens of thousands of cells, while these creatures had no cells at all.
Their bodies were like sea urchins. Their bodies were covered with spikes, but these spikes had a joint, so they could bend and run with the spikes.
It was a strange feeling … They were actually so small. It seemed like they were reacting to Lin's wounds. The moment they discovered Lin's troops, they immediately rushed forward …
As for Lin's troops, they began their counterattack.
Slap! One of the sea urchins was crushed by the Tainted's jaws. All of its spikes stabbed at the Tainted. Both sides perished in an instant.
These small black sea urchins had a metallic structure. Their sharp spikes could penetrate Lin's troops. As long as they fought together, one side would be bitten to pieces, while the other side would be pierced.
Therefore, Lin used another method.
Most of the Tainted at the front began to harden their bodies rapidly. They could gather a large amount of material on their skin and harden it in a short period of time, making it impossible for the sea urchins to pierce through them.
Bang! Some of the Tainted at the back began their attacks.
These spider-like Tainted sprayed out a type of miniature bomb from their mouths. A large number of these bombs stuck to their targets and exploded. Many of the sea urchins that were attacking their hardened targets were blown away by the explosion. Most of the spikes on their bodies also fell off due to the impact.
Some of the Tainted sprayed out mucus to stick the sea urchins that were charging at them from afar.
However, the number of these sea urchins was increasing. They surged out from the surroundings and surrounded Lin's troops. Lin had the long-range troops stick together to deal with the enemies coming from all directions while the hardened troops defended the surroundings.
At the same time, the surrounding sea urchins attacked again. A new round of battle was about to begin.
"Boom!"
A large object fell from the sky and interrupted the battle.
This object was like an upside-down mountain. It streaked across the ground at high speed, bouncing countless sea urchins into the sky or crushing them into pieces.
But in reality, this was the crystal lizard turning around and scratching its tail with its fingers. Was it feeling itchy because the battle here was too fierce?
But it seemed to have the opposite effect. A large number of sea urchins were sent flying by its scratches. The army surrounding Lin was reduced by more than half in a few seconds, and the surrounding troops continued to be sent flying by its fingers.
But it still couldn't scratch the position of the Tainted troops. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin had some of the Tainted inject a large number of miniature troops into the crack that she had just created.
These slime-like troops were made up of single cells. They were larger than normal cells and had strong mobility. Most importantly, they didn't need to rely on water to move. Lin could use them to detect these non-cellular structures and even creatures that didn't have water in their bodies.
A large number of troops were placed into the crack and began to move in the black jelly-like space inside the crystal lizard's body.
But just as they were about to spread out to explore, Lin found that they were surrounded.
These troops seemed to be the defense system inside the lizard's body. They looked exactly like the sea urchins outside, but were smaller in size. They were only one-thousandth the size of the sea urchins outside.
