This was … the inner part of the island, known as the Metal Burrow. It got its name because it was covered in spiderweb-like steel bars and countless spider-like cubes.
But Lin wasn't concerned about them. Instead …
Bam! A thick spear exploded in the air. Tiny black grains of sand scattered into the surrounding area like a sandstorm. A fragment of a Lurker was touched by the grains of sand.
The moment it was touched, the invisible state that the Lurker had been maintaining all this time disappeared. Countless detection orbs gathered and used high temperature to completely disintegrate its body.
If this fragment fell on the steel bars, the spider-like cubes would join in the attack. They were trying their best to get rid of Lin, an outsider.
Although Lin believed that she would be able to figure out how they discovered her and create a new method of concealment with a bit of research, now … there was no time for that.
The Star Bus. Its surface was getting closer and closer to a real star. Like a burning fireball, it could be destroyed at any time. After it was destroyed, not only would a precious creature disappear, but also countless opportunities for Lin to improve herself.
For example, research on teleportation and so on … and the Star Bus's sensing method and its' weapons. 'Lin wanted to understand these, so the Lurker couldn't die here.
Lin only had 30 fragments left. They were hiding behind the steel bars. The surrounding air was filled with sand from the explosion of the spear, making it difficult for the fragments to move.
Although the target Lin was looking for — the energy storage room — was dozens of meters away, she couldn't get close to it.
Moreover. Not just any fragment could get close to it. Lin needed a special fragment to get close.
Five of the Lurker's fragments were hiding. They were hiding structures that could transmit energy. They had to get close to the target to receive the energy.
However, they couldn't move now. It was impossible for them to fly to their target's location without touching any of the sand grains. If they continued to hide, the sand grains might drift to them. Besides, they didn't know where the new spears would come from.
Since that was the case … maybe she should change her plan.
She shouldn't hide anymore. How about fighting them directly? The only things attacking Lin here were the detection balls and the cubes on the steel bars.
Although they were all-pervasive and wouldn't let go of even a single virus, they weren't that powerful.
So … all he had to do was kill them all.
Bang! As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Lin's 11 Prowler fragments flew out from behind the steel bars. As they flew out, they collided with a large amount of sand particles. Countless detection orbs in the surroundings reacted and swarmed towards them like a swarm of insects.
Beep! However, the tiny bullet hit them first. The impact of the warhead instantly shattered the first group of detection balls.
Not all of Lin's Lurker fragments were the same. They were divided into many types. Some were responsible for transporting important items, some were purely 'cannon fodder', and some were used for combat.
They were equipped with tiny artillery structures that could accurately hit targets that were one centimeter in size like the detection orb. After destroying the first wave of targets, the eleven fragments quickly gathered together and integrated into the shape of a three-fingered 'hand'.
Not only could they form the original disc shape, but they could also form all kinds of things through internal structural changes. This was mainly related to the relevant information obtained from studying the buildings of the crystal lizards.
Although Lin had wanted to study these things for a long time, there was no end to them.
As for the detection orbs, there was no end to their numbers. After the first wave was destroyed, more detection orbs knocked away the remains of their comrades and flew towards the 'hand' formed by the fragments of the Lurker.
Boom! This time, it wasn't shooting. There was a hole in the palm of the hand, and a large amount of air burst out from the hole.
Like a bomb, the explosion of air blew away the surrounding black sand particles, but the detection orbs were still moving forward.
The airflow had little effect on the detection orbs because they knew the trick of ants. When faced with a strong current, they would instantly hook together to form a large whole, and some of the detection orbs were responsible for hooking the nearby steel bars.
This caused them to not be shaken even in the face of a storm. Lin felt that this was a new trick of Brainiac. The detection orbs she encountered before shouldn't have been able to do this.
However, all he needed to do was to blow away the black sand. Lin's remaining 19 Prowler fragments flew out and swiftly knocked away all the scouting orbs in the area where there was no sand. Among these 19 fragments, there were also fragments that were responsible for combat. As soon as they knocked away the scouting orbs, they immediately used their tiny spikes to shatter them.
As long as they didn't stick to the sand, they wouldn't be discovered. They could freely attack the detection orbs nearby. This way …
Boom!
Just as Lin was thinking this, pain came from one of the Lurker fragments. A large group of detection orbs surrounded a fragment that didn't stick to the sand at all. It quickly disintegrated amidst the small explosions and burning pain …
Looks like … this won't work.
Although it didn't stick to the sand, it would still be discovered if it attacked …
Another fragment disintegrated under the attack of the detection orbs, but the remaining 17 pieces had already flown to the side of the 'hand'. They quickly gathered around the hand and changed their structure.
Finally, all the fragments came together again. They formed the shape of the unit that Lin used to use — the Pathfinder.
Spinning its worm-like body, the Pathfinder flew at top speed towards the energy storage not far away.
In the process of rapid rotation, the body of the Pathfinder also continued to shoot around. Small bullets sprayed out like a storm, and countless besieging detection balls were shattered in the attack.
The ammunition … should be enough to last until the target area.
The detection orbs kept trying to get closer and release small high-temperature particles. They hit the Pathfinder's shell, leaving countless scorch marks. But the Pathfinder's attack didn't stop. The detection orbs were constantly shattered by the small bullets, and the Pathfinder approached its target with the fastest speed possible.
The place where the energy was stored was thirty meters away … fifteen meters … only ten meters away!
Although her body was covered in wounds and could be destroyed by the detection orbs in an instant … Lin was still confident that she could conduct energy the moment she touched the target!
Whoosh!
