Lin's Bombers could shoot out a kind of self-propelled explosive. They could easily pass through the sandstorm created by the Sandblast Beetles and destroy these large insects.
The Sandblast Worm's abdomen was weak. Once attacked, the sand inside would flow out. Even if the Sandblast Worm didn't die, it wouldn't be able to continue spraying sand.
However, Lin's bombs weren't the only ones flying through the sandstorm. A special whistling sound could be heard in the sandstorm. Lin recognized it as the sound of Exploding Armor.
They were there to stop the Bombers from attacking the Sandblast Worms.
These Exploding Armor knew how to hide in the sandstorm and attack. In the sandstorm, it was difficult to use sound and smell to explore the surroundings. In this situation, Lin had to improve her detection ability.
The Sky Hunters were prepared for this purpose. The tentacles on their heads could separate different sounds from the jumble of sounds.
Suddenly, a whistling sound came from the sandstorm beside one of the Bombers. The Aerial Hunter beside it immediately rushed over. After a boom, the Aerial Hunter and the hidden Exploding Armor perished together.
The Aerial Hunters were cannon fodder. It didn't matter how many of them were lost. Lin had brought thousands of them this time. They were basically used to crash into the Exploding Armor.
Boom! All of a sudden, following a loud explosion, Lin felt the pain of one of the bombers' bodies. However, this wasn't the feeling of being hit by a bomb, but rather a large amount of liquid that had been splashed onto her body. This liquid quickly seeped into the bomber's skin and rapidly killed off every single cell inside.
This was … salamander poison. Was this the new Exploding Armor ability? Lin couldn't hear them at all. Perhaps their flying method was different from normal Exploding Armor.
'Boom … Boom …' Then, three consecutive explosions rang out. Lin sensed that most of the Bombers had been hit by the Exploding Armor. Because she couldn't hear them. So it was hard to stop them.
These Exploding Armor relied on the splash of poison. They weren't as strong as normal Exploding Armor, but many salamanders had powerful poison that could kill the target on contact. Obviously, this ability had been integrated into the Exploding Armor by the Inca swarm. Moreover, the Bombers didn't have hard shells and couldn't defend against the poison.
But if it was just poison … Lin quickly stopped the Bombers' hearts from beating. At the same time, she stopped the cells that hadn't been killed from exchanging nutrients. The flow of the poison was interrupted instantly.
Next. A large number of worm-type multicellular troops swam out of the Bomber's blood vessels. They quickly devoured the dead cells and all the venom around them.
These worm-type soldiers were called 'Detoxifier'. Their bodies had a powerful filtration ability that allowed them to break down toxins and quickly neutralize any poisonous threats.
When the venom disappeared, the bomber's heart began to beat again. It suffered very little damage, only some cells in the cortex, which was almost negligible.
The effect of venom is generally to destroy certain functions in cells or to block certain organs. It caused the death of cells and living creatures, while the dissolving liquid melted a large number of cells in an instant. This was also the reason why Lin preferred to use Dissolving Liquid instead of Venom. Venom was too easy to deal with.
In Lin's mind, there were some words that combined dissolving liquid and venom, but Lin would strictly separate the two liquids and use different names.
After many times of decomposition, the Bomber itself was able to evolve the ability to resist this venom.
The new Venom Armor could no longer hurt the Bombers, and the Bombers had already aimed their muzzles at the location where the sandstorm came out.
Fire!
Countless bombs pierced through the sandstorm and directly hit the Sandblast Worms' swollen abdomens. The dissolving liquid corroded their abdomens and created large holes.
Under the bombardment of a large number of bombs, several Sandblast Worms fell to the ground. Countless smaller units were crushed by their huge bodies. The sandstorm in the air slowly calmed down, and Lin's vision, which had been obscured by the sand and dust, began to recover.
Below the air force was a large swarm of Inca insects. The smaller troops were still fleeing in all directions. They tried to climb up the Hometree and hide inside, but due to their numbers, they couldn't all retreat at once.
Lin had long noticed that out of all the Inca insectoids, only the Sandblast and Exploding Armor had anti-air capabilities. Lin had seen them use a parasitic flying insect in the desert pit before, but it didn't appear here.
This was also the reason why Lin dared to ambush them. Their anti-air capabilities were too weak.
The Bombers spread out and threw a large number of bombs at the escaping small and medium troops. These bombs were filled with Dissolving Liquid, and after they exploded, they split into a large number of Fusers. The Fusers absorbed the Dissolving Liquid that splashed onto the ground and launched a second attack. With this coordination, they easily tore apart a large number of Inca insects.
A large number of Exploding Armor once again flew towards them from the ground. Except for the Venom-Type Exploding Armor, Lin had the Sky Hunters intercept all the Fire-type Exploding Armor. Each of Lin's Exploding Armor was surrounded by about ten Sky Hunters, so it was almost impossible for the Exploding Armor to hit them.
The Bombers continued their bombardment, turning the ground below into a land of death filled with Dissolving Liquid. The smell of the Dissolving Liquid permeated the air, causing a second round of damage to the Inca insects below.
Lin recalled the time when she bombarded the Aztecs. Although the Inca insects were stronger, they all had a weakness, which was that they didn't have enough Aerial Hunters to deal with.
The Inca insects continuously retreated towards the south. The surrounding Hometrees seemed to be full, and they had no choice but to flee under the bombardment of the Bombers. They seemed to be crowded and panicked, but Lin discovered that they were retreating in a very orderly manner. Furthermore, the Bombers were mostly small and medium troops. The larger and more important troops, such as the Earth Splitters, had long burrowed into the ground. As for the Sandblast Worms, other than the ones that Lin killed in the beginning, they didn't appear again.
Even if they couldn't retaliate, the Inca insects would still use 'cannon fodder' troops to deplete Lin's bombs. At the same time, they also changed their tactic of Exploding Armor. They no longer used Venom Armor, but ordinary Exploding Armor from all directions. They didn't attack the Bombers, but directly crashed into Lin's Aerial Hunters, as if they were trying to deplete Lin's Aerial Hunters.
As Lin chased the Inca insects deeper and deeper, more and more Exploding Armor appeared. Lin calculated that if this continued, they would be completely wiped out. She had already achieved her goal of ambushing them, so she prepared to retreat.
All the troops immediately turned around, and the Explosive Bugs on the Aerial Hunters activated at full force. Lin's troops quickly retreated in the direction they came from.
This was the advantage of having an Aerial Hunter. They could both fight and run.
However, the Inca insects obviously wouldn't let Lin leave so easily. A large number of Exploding Armor chased after her, and Lin discovered that their numbers had already surpassed Lin's Aerial Hunters. There weren't that many of them before, so could it be a temporary production? Only then did Lin remember that she hadn't seen the incubation process of Exploding Armor.
However, Lin still had a 'gift' for them.
Lin had brought a floating base with her, but after arriving, she discovered that it wasn't of much use. Because no nutrients could be collected during the bombardment, the base's original reserves of nutrients were depleted, and could no longer be produced. Even so, this base still had a use.
It would be turned into art! Floating astronomy.
