On the western coast of the True Fungus Island, tiny waves splashed against the white beach while tiny arthropods crawled across the sand. Everything appeared so peaceful and peaceful under the bright sun …
However, this tranquility would soon be engulfed by the plague.
Far away from the beach, a small purple dot suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.
The number of dots kept increasing. One, two, three … thirty … three thousand. Soon, they were as dense as a swarm of ants. Thousands upon thousands of the plague army appeared over the sea and headed straight for the island.
At the forefront of the plague fungus army was a creature that rode on many large fungal monsters. Lin called them the 'Ocean Filter Behemoths'. They were large arthropods that were over fifteen meters long and resembled trilobites. In this era of plankton, many filter arthropods like the Ocean Filter Behemoths had appeared on the sea. However, due to their habit of coming ashore to lay eggs, they had all become captives of the plague fungus. The Ocean Filter Behemoths were now using the thick carapaces on their backs to carry the plague army.
However, Lin also had new units. On the white beach, a sand dune slowly rose. When the sand dune grew to the size of a small mountain, it began to collapse and disperse. Lin's first defensive unit appeared in the middle of it.
This was the largest turret that Lin had ever built. The barrel that extended out of the ground was 13 meters long, and the diameter of the barrel was about one meter. Underground, it was supported by muscles that resembled the roots of plants. At the roots, there was a powerful hydraulic muscle system that cooperated with the firing of explosive shells. Inside the firing structure, there was a tough, spiderweb-like structure that would not damage the muscles no matter how many times it was fired. Inside the barrel, there was also a layer of high-temperature resistant shell that mimicked the Inferno Worms.
The underground bomb chamber had already produced a large number of explosive projectiles and was connected to the cannon through a pipe. This large cannon could fire many large explosive projectiles dozens of kilometers away at hundreds of meters per second. Lin would be able to reach the five islands.
However, it would be more interesting to wait for them to arrive.
This cannon should have a good name, but now that the plague army was approaching, Lin came up with one on the spot. Let's call it … the 'Styx Cannon'!
The Styx Cannon was already aimed at one of the Ocean Filter Behemoths. The explosive projectile was quickly transferred into the cannon through the underground pipe since the cannon had no eyes. Lin will use the aerial vehicle to determine the direction, and then …
"Bam!"
The moment the cannon was fired, the surrounding beach shook violently. The explosive bullet filled with dissolving liquid shot through the air at high speed and instantly hit the back of the fungus monsters on the back of the ocean filter behemoth.
"Boom!" Another loud sound rang out as the liquid and the shockwave exploded on the back of the Ocean Filter Behemoth. The fungus monsters on its back did not even have time to react before they were blasted into pieces. Some of the monsters further away were also blasted into the water by the impact. The power of the bomb even blasted a large hole in the thick shell of the monster, and cracks spread along the hole. The monster let out a low groan and sank into the sea.
Fungi had no fear … This view was actually wrong, but the way the plague fungi expressed their fear was different. Lin had sensed … that even the Plague would feel fear from that attack! Their swimming speed had obviously slowed down a little after that.
The cannon's effect was not bad, but that was only the first shot. Lin had prepared a variety of ammunition that could deal with any type of opponent. Next … let's try the armor-piercing projectile.
The underground ammunition compartment sent another type of explosive projectile into the cannon. This was a drill-shaped explosive that Lin had specially created. It would not explode, but its shell had a special jet structure that allowed it to rotate and pierce its target with its sharp head.
The Styx Cannon was aimed at another ocean filter behemoth. With a roar, the armor-piercing projectile spun out at an even higher speed. The high-speed bullet hit the head of the ocean filter behemoth. The spinning projectile drilled into the behemoth's exposed compound eye and spun inside its fungus-covered brain without stopping. It drilled into the behemoth's body, mincing its organs, blood, and everything inside into a pile of meat paste before finally drilling a hole in its tail and rushing out.
Unable to control its body, the ocean filter behemoth stopped swimming and stopped on the surface of the sea. Seawater continued to seep in through the damage caused by the bullet, killing large amounts of fungi in its body. The behemoth slowly sank into the sea.
This type of armor-piercing projectile had a special ability. Even if it pierced through an enemy, it could still spin and move on its own after losing momentum to launch a second attack!
The armor-piercing projectile made a quick turn in the air and rushed towards another ocean filter behemoth nearby. It spun and spun faster and faster, and the moment it got close to its target, it suddenly accelerated and pierced through two fungal monsters on the behemoth's back in an instant …
It felt like drilling through rotten wood. Countless flesh and fungal fragments spun around the projectile.
At this time, the armor-piercing projectile spun into the air again and used gravity to accelerate its descent. The armor-piercing projectile itself had eyes. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to its target, it detonated its tail and used the explosive propulsion force to instantly increase its speed and pierce through a larger fungal monster.
At this time, the armor-piercing projectile also hit the ocean filter behemoth's carapace and left some cracks on it. However, the final impact caused the armor-piercing projectile's carapace to shatter into pieces. Was this the end of its use?
No, the shattered armor-piercing projectile carried a type of micro multi-cell soldier. They crawled into the cracks on the ocean filter behemoth's carapace and began to attack the fungus inside the behemoth's carapace, multiplying and growing.
But in the end, this speed was very slow and not very useful in actual combat.
Two of the ocean filter behemoths had sunk into the sea, but this was only a small loss to the plague army. More of the ocean filter behemoths riding on the fungal monsters sped up on the surface of the sea, as if the fungus had turned its fear into anger.
The plague army seemed endless, but Lin had more than one Styx Cannon.
Boom … With a rumbling sound, the entire beach began to slowly shake. Hundreds of sand dunes rose at the same time, and within the sand, huge cannon barrels were displayed one after another in front of the plague army.
Now, let's experience true art!
With the violent sound of cannon fire, the sand on the beach seemed to have been shaken into the air … (Your support is my greatest motivation. … Read.)
