'Boom!'
The sound of explosions reverberated across the ocean. The moment hundreds of Styx cannons were fired, the surface of the sea was lifted up like a tsunami. Endless waves scattered in the air with the sound of explosions. When the waves returned to the surface of the water, the dozens of filter behemoths and the fungus monsters on their backs had already sunk into the depths of the sea.
Lin had clearly opened a gap in the plague army. With such heavy casualties, Lin didn't even need her organs to feel the plague fungus' wrath … They did have emotions.
There weren't many filter behemoths left. These large creatures usually lived in scattered groups, and Lin didn't know how the plague fungus managed to capture so many filter behemoths, but it must have taken a very long time …
And now, they were all going to be destroyed by Lin's bombs!
'Boom!'
The Styx Cannons fired again. Hundreds of bombs streaked across the ocean, and the rumbling explosions sent waves into the air. There was nothing left on the surface of the ocean …
… Wait.
Under the spray of the waves, countless densely packed small units suddenly appeared. They were a type of fish that was about two meters long. Because they had thick flippers and liked to crawl on land, they were also infected by the fungus. In the bombardment just now, the Oceanic Filter Behemoths had been wiped out. However, these were only the vanguard of the plague fungus. Would these fish be the ones following behind?
These fish could only carry one small fungus monster each, but there were so many of them … They were like raindrops.
'Boom!'
Hundreds of bombs exploded above the dense swarm of fish. Countless pieces of flesh and blood flew into the air, but the survivors continued to advance with their advantage in numbers and speed. These fish could move up to twenty meters per second, and now they were one kilometer away from the shore. The fungus monsters riding on the fish let out a strange howl that echoed across the ocean, as if they were displaying the wrath of the plague.
Looking at the approaching fish, thirty of the Styx Cannons raised their barrels and fired thirty specially made bombs into the air.
These bombs flew in a line and landed in front of the fish. When they exploded, a large amount of liquid spread out from inside, dyeing the entire sea surface with a layer of strange color.
Above this layer of color, a tiny dot of light suddenly lit up … Around this area, a raging flame suddenly ignited. The flame instantly expanded along with the color of the water surface, forming a wall of fire in front of the school of fish.
Facing the flames. The school of fish didn't stop there. As soon as they passed through the wall of fire, the fungus monster on their backs was instantly engulfed in flames. Due to the high temperature, the fungus in the fish's body began to deteriorate, and the damaged structure of the fungus also affected the fish. In the end, both of them died and sank into the sea …
Although countless schools of fish frantically rushed into the fire wall, not a single fish was able to rush out from behind the fire wall.
Lin felt like the fungus wasn't able to perfectly control the troops, but this would make it easier to eliminate them … What was that?
While Lin was paying attention to the sea of fire on the surface of the water, something strange suddenly appeared in the originally cloudless sky. What appeared to be purple clouds swayed above the blue sky. And it was getting closer and closer to the ground.
Plague Cloud, that was what it was called. It was actually an amalgamation of a large amount of bacterial dust and small flying arthropods.
Beside the Styx Cannon, a large number of small turrets rose from the sand and aimed at the purple clouds in the sky.
Fire!
Countless spikes shot out from the turrets like a storm rising from the ground. The sharp bone spikes rushed into the plague cloud, and the sound of shells being pierced and torn rang out. A moment later, a large number of arthropods fell from the sky along with the bacterial dust and landed on the beach.
The bacterial dust quickly absorbed the arthropods' remains and began to grow and spread rapidly. Countless mycelium grew out of it and crawled towards the turrets and the Styx Cannon. Some even tried to grow into the shape of mushrooms. These mushrooms kept expanding and then exploding when they appeared, spraying more bacterial dust.
Lin had 'polished' the shells of the Styx Cannon and the turrets. There were almost no protrusions or gaps on them, and the bacterial dust and arthropods couldn't stick to them. But they spread in large numbers from the surrounding beach, and some of the mycelium had already climbed onto the turrets.
But then. A blue mucus oozed out of the sand. It quickly spread and enveloped the remains of the mycelium and arthropods on the ground. A large number of minions in the mucus began to decompose the mycelium. They tore the mycelium into pieces like a bacteriophage.
Lin had already made various preparations. The plague fungus' aerial attacks were nothing more than nutrients for Lin. The shredded mycelium and the remains of the appendages would be transported underground, these nutrients could be used to create even more explosive bombs to counterattack.
The flames on the surface of the sea were slowly diminishing, but the plague fungus' fishes were still rushing into the flames in great numbers. The Styx Cannon raised its barrel again and fired dozens of incendiary shells into the flames. The radiance of the flames instantly became much more intense than before.
If Lin wanted to, she could keep the sea of flames burning for days and nights, isolating the plague fungus forever.
However, the plague fungus did not want to be isolated. Above the sea of fire, several gigantic silhouettes appeared. They spread their wings and flew in the air, opening their mouths to spray large amounts of purple dust over the burning flames. Beneath the dust, the flames were slowly extinguished.
Those were wyverns, about ten meters long. They weren't very big, but there were many of them. Dozens of them were circling above the flames to extinguish the flames.
A second later, the Styx Cannon fired hundreds of explosive shells at the wyverns. When the wyverns saw the cannon fire, they flapped their wings in an attempt to dodge, but more than half of the wyverns were still hit by the explosive shells. However, after the roar subsided, Lin discovered that the wyverns were not damaged at all in the places they were hit.
Some of the wyverns fell into the sea because their wing membranes were blown apart, but most of them were unscathed.
That was strange. Could their armor be as tough as the wyverns Lin found in the salt cavern? If it was, it could have withstood the explosive shells just now.
Lin believed that such a tough shell could only be found in certain places, such as the crater of a volcano. But the wyverns' armor was purple, which looked like it was made of fungi. It shouldn't have such defensive power.
Forget it, I'll study it later. Lin loaded a few Styx Cannons with armor-piercing shells and aimed at the purple wyverns again.
Boom!
The explosion of the cannons resounded through the sky. Sharp rotating shells shot out rapidly, piercing through the bodies of several wyverns. The rotating force crushed their innards, but after piercing through the wyverns, the armor-piercing shells were also damaged and shattered. They couldn't be used anymore.
This armor was very hard, but the armor-piercing shells could still penetrate it. But in order to make it easier, Lin might have to prepare some special 'dissolving armor-piercing shells'. These shells had small holes at the tip, and could release a large amount of dissolving liquid when rotating.
Boom! Another loud noise was heard, but this time, it wasn't caused by Lin. The flames in a certain area of the burning sea had already been extinguished by the wyverns, so the loud noise just now caused a large splash of water. A large sphere about 3 meters in diameter flew out from the water and headed towards the beach.
One of the Styx Cannons immediately fired an explosive shell at the sphere. The moment they collided, a purple mist and dissolving liquid mixed together and splashed into the surrounding sea.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Three more explosions sounded at the same time. Three more similar spheres flew out of the water, but they were shot down by the cannons in mid-flight.
Could it be that the fungus had hidden some artillery units under the water? They shouldn't be able to open their mouths underwater. If water entered their bodies, the seawater would kill the fungi in their bodies.
Gurgle …
Suddenly, a large number of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water where the spheres were shot out, as if something was floating up.
The next moment, as the water trembled, and when the trembling reached its peak, a huge … what was this?
Lin looked at it. It looked like a … creature's head. There were three holes on its' face '. It looked like it had two eyes and a mouth, but it was empty. There was nothing inside.
The 'head' was about seven meters tall. It was quite huge, as if some creature was standing at the bottom of the sea and then poking its head out of the water. The entire surface of the head was covered in a layer of hardened fungi. Lin couldn't tell what the structure inside was.
It seemed to have been hiding in the sea for a long time. Perhaps it was hidden very deep under the sea. Lin had searched the sea before, but she didn't find anything. The infected sea creatures gathered at the edge of the island's surface.
This was very strange. The fungi could actually hide this thing in the sea …
"Hiss …" The head on the surface of the sea suddenly made a strange noise. The three holes on its face suddenly widened a lot, and then three thick water pillars suddenly shot out from them!
The water pillars swept across the surface of the sea and rushed onto the beach, directly hitting one of the Styx Cannons on the beach.
Lin immediately felt the shell of the cannon being corroded by a strong dissolving liquid. A large number of needle-like substances drilled into the cannon's body, penetrating the cells inside. Because the cannon was completely submerged in the dissolving liquid, the immunity it carried couldn't fight against such a large number of opponents.
Not only that, but even the surface of the sea and the beach that the water sprayed out by the head had a large number of mycelium. The mycelium grew several times faster than the common plague fungi! (To be continued.)
