The 'Plague Leader', was what Lin called the 'head' that emerged from the sea. The liquid it sprayed out seemed to contain a large amount of dissolving fluid. This dissolving fluid was very unique as it was highly damaging to most crustaceans, but to the plague fungi, it was a nutrient. They kept absorbing the dissolving fluid and grew exponentially. The growing hypha had completely taken over the Styx Cannon that was hit, and they were even spreading underground through the cannon's barrel.
However, the muscle structure and explosive chamber underground had prepared a large number of immunes to resist the fungus' invasion from above. Their numbers were enough to resist the hypha and even kill them back.
A large number of mycelium had sprouted along the path of the Head of the Plague earlier, but the ones that grew on the surface of the sea quickly died, while the ones on the beach continued to multiply until they were drowned by Lin's Bacteriophage's mucus.
Lin was curious about the Plague Leader on the surface of the sea. It didn't look like a controlled creature, but more like a pure fungal structure. But if that was the case, it wouldn't be able to move on its own.
"Guuu …" The Head of the Plague let out a low growl. It was like a prelude to its next attack, as if it was preparing to launch its next attack.
Boom! But before that, dozens of explosive shells hit the head one after another. The impact of the explosion stirred up a cloud of purple dust that shrouded the Plague Leader's face.
Lin looked at the purple cloud of dust in confusion. Suddenly, a loud noise came from within the cloud of dust. A water column shot out again and hit the second Styx Cannon on the beach. Large amounts of hypha and dissolving fluid instantly disintegrated it.
After the dust settled. Half of the Plague Leader's' face 'was blown away by the explosion. But its cavernous mouth wasn't damaged at all. Most of the explosive shells hit the top, but the bottom half should have been affected as well. It seemed that the bottom half was harder.
"Guuu …" The Plague Leader let out another low growl. Following its growl, the wyverns above the sea of fire suddenly rushed towards the beach. Accompanying the wyverns were flying fungal monsters that looked like a thick fog. There were probably hundreds of thousands of them.
Fire!
The sound of cannons firing rang out again. The cannons beside it rained bone spikes on the fungal monsters like a storm.
Under the storm of blows. Every second, countless fungus monsters fell into the sea, and these bone spikes would only make clanking sounds when they hit the wyverns, but none of them could penetrate their armor.
The Wyverns roared angrily and rushed toward the beach. But suddenly, there was a loud bang. A big hole appeared in the chest of the Wyverns flying at the front. Their abdomens were almost crushed. They fell to the sea and sank.
As expected, the cannons were still needed to deal with the Wyverns. However, the cannons were mainly used to deal with the Head of Plagues.
Not all of the Flying Dragons flew over. Many of them stood in front of the Plague Leader, as if they wanted to stop the cannon fire. But this way, the Plague Leader couldn't spray water anymore. Or perhaps it had finished spraying water earlier and wanted to replenish it.
Before that, it had to be detonated. Lin had prepared another type of bomb, called the 'Wandering Bomb'.
Bang! After the Styx River Cannon fired, the speed of the bombs wasn't as fast as the others. They flew in a straight line through the air. The Wyverns immediately blocked the bombs, using the hardest parts of their bodies to block the bombardment.
But before the bombs hit the Wyverns, they fell into the water and split open, releasing hundreds of small creatures. These creatures were only about ten centimeters long. They were a type of Fuser that could swim in the water. Not only could they move in the water like sharks, but they could also move on land. These creatures that were released swam toward the Plague Leader.
Wait … What the hell is that …
The Fused Creatures saw the Plague Chief's body under the water. Just as Lin had expected, it had a huge body under the water. The Plague Chief was indeed a head that was above the water surface. Its body under the water, including its head above the water surface, was more than 50 meters tall. This huge body was enough for it to stand on the seabed. This creature didn't have any limbs on its upper body. Only its lower body had two huge legs that could be used to stand. It could probably still be used to move.
The creature's body was covered in a layer of purple 'skin'. There were many lines on it like mycelium, which should be made up of hardened fungi.
What kind of creature was this' Plague Leader '? Its form didn't seem normal at all. It wasn't suitable for hunting or doing other things. It didn't look like an ordinary infected species.
It felt as if … they had been deliberately created, just like a specialised combat unit that had been split into different types.
But did plague fungi have that kind of ability? At most, they could only form some mushrooms that could explode. The structure of plague fungi was relatively simple, which was one of the reasons why they could grow so fast.
Could it be that they formed some kind of complicated structure? Or … could it be that this' Plague Leader 'was made up of the bones and shells of ordinary creatures? Or was it made up of many large creatures? And then covered it with a layer of 'fungal skin'?
This seemed possible, but it was relatively difficult. If there was a mistake, the creature's entire body would collapse.
But if there was no mistake … then it would be a masterpiece.
"Guuu …" The Plague Leader suddenly made a deep sound. Its legs began to move slowly. Lin felt that such a huge creature would easily fall if it only used two legs. If it wasn't in the water, it probably wouldn't be able to stand up.
If it was really made up, then it must have been made on land and then pushed into the water.
The Head of the Plague seemed to understand that it would fall easily. It moved very slowly and retreated slowly. The seabed behind it was lower, and its head that was half blown away slowly sank into the water.
It seemed that the wound on its head had healed when it was blocked by the wyvern. It seemed that it was still afraid of seawater seeping in.
If that was the case, then let it be thoroughly seeped in!
The Fused Creatures rushed towards the Plague Chieftain. They swam towards the half of its head and released a large amount of dissolving liquid to break down its outer shell.
The large amount of seawater seeping in caused the fungi inside to die. The Fused Creatures also swam in through the wound. Lin wanted to see what the structure inside was like.
Crack … After the Fused Creatures had entered, Lin suddenly heard a strange sound. She was floating in the sky.
