The rumbling of bombs, the splashing of severed limbs and sand, the furious roars of the Fungus Monsters — everything was mixed together. The war had entered a frenzied state. More and more Fungus Monsters were riding on aquatic Fungus Monsters onto the beach and launched an assault on Lin's' main camp ', but before that, they still had many obstacles to overcome …
Lin's Styx Cannon was about seventy meters away from the beach, and the cannon was on a six-meter-tall sand dune. Even if the fungus got close, they might not be able to attack. Moreover, it was difficult for them to even get close.
"Caw caw caw caw!" A group of two-meter-tall Fungus Monsters landed on the shore. As soon as they set foot on the beach, the ground suddenly exploded. The group of Fungus Monsters were blasted high into the sky. When they landed on the ground, only a pile of remains and limbs were left.
"Ugh!" Another fungus monster with a larger body stepped onto the beach. It charged towards the beach with its huge body, and there was a loud rumble under its feet. The power of the explosion blew off a large chunk of its thick leg, but it continued to move forward as the explosions continued.
Boom … Boom … Boom …!!
After the continuous explosions, the monster's legs were blown apart. It only walked for about ten meters before it could no longer stand and fell to the ground. The moment it fell to the ground, a sharp spike suddenly protruded from the sand below and directly penetrated its head.
Lin called this beach a trap zone. As the name suggested, there were traps everywhere. The first ten meters were 'bomb traps', where a large number of shockwave-type bombs were buried. These bombs didn't just disappear after they exploded. They could be replenished through underground pipes. Many of the fungus monsters' small army would be exhausted here.
And behind them, there were even more interesting things.
At the same time, the Fungus Devourers were also buried in the beach. They would seep out when it was safe to absorb the remains on the ground and transport them underground as nutrients.
Even with so many traps, the fungus monsters continued to charge onto the beach as if they had lost their minds. Explosions followed. A group of small fungal monsters were blasted into the sky again, but behind them, a four-meter-long marine arthropod crawled onto the ground. It moved its heavy body and charged into the battlefield. The bombs on the ground had almost no effect on its heavy armor.
Boom! But in the next second, its head exploded into pieces. A bullet fired by the Styx Cannon had hit the arthropod perfectly.
Even with a large number of defenses, the fungus monsters were also quite large. Looking from the beach, they were as dense as a fog. There seemed to be no end to them.
Lin could use Art Creator to destroy them all at once, but she felt that would cause them to retreat. It would be more troublesome if they spread out to infect other creatures. Lin wanted to gather them all on the fungus island and destroy them all.
In fact, Lin didn't really understand how the fungus' intelligence worked. They were very strange.
At times, they appeared to be very smart, such as using the wyverns to put out the fire or using some tactics, but at other times, they were extremely stupid. For example, when the Plague Lord rose up, one of them actually fell to his death, and when Lin released the wall of fire, they also charged into the fire like madmen, only stopping after a while.
Even now, when faced with such a trap formation, they were still rushing madly. They had never thought of landing on the other coast, but instead, they went straight to the West Coast. The air force had always been charging in a straight line. They had never tried to attack from the back of the turrets, but they knew how to use some large units, such as flying dragons, to block the bone needles and other attacks of the smaller air forces.
The fungus seemed to be alternating between being smart and stupid, but more often than not, they were stupid.
What was going on?
Probably only by finding their brains would they know.
The battle was still ongoing. Perhaps it had taken them several decades, or even several centuries to collect such a large number of infected creatures, but now, they were all falling in front of Lin one after another, being torn to shreds by the sound of explosions.
While the battle continued, the First Plague Monsters on the Five Plague Islands had basically moved into the sea. They obviously couldn't float, but they could stand up completely under the sea and slowly move towards the fungus island.
It would take them a long time to reach the battlefield, so Lin had to clear out the fungus monster army before that, or at least eliminate a large portion of them. The First Plague Monsters looked clumsy, but they weren't easy to deal with. The main reason was that their shells were very unique, a mixture of shells that only these large creatures could fully carry. There was also a large amount of mycelial structure mixed with spider silk inside, which could resist many kinds of corrosion and impact. Even the Art Creator's pure impact bombs might not be able to break through their shells.
Generally speaking, using smaller units to cut open their wounds was the best way to deal with them, which was why Lin was preparing to ambush them from the bottom of the sea … But before that, Lin still had a lot of things to do, and they moved too slowly, so she didn't have to worry too much about them.
Lin's second ambush unit had already landed on the island. While the battle was going on, Lin was also commanding the troops on this side. She wanted these troops to explore the depths of the island and see if they could find anything interesting.
This unit was mainly made up of 300 assassins, but there was also a special unit called the 'Revivors'. They looked like a black ball about 3 meters in diameter and could float around, just like the pom-poms Lin had with the Skeleton Dragon tribe. The Revivors could extend tentacles all over their bodies. They were mainly used to reassemble broken remains, heal their own units, or mix the remains of other creatures into their cells to become their own unit. They also had some combat abilities.
With the Revivors as the main force, Lin's troops once again set foot on the Five Plague Islands.
Now, these islands could be said to have been … destroyed by the fungi themselves. There were traces left behind by the Plague Overlords everywhere. The mushroom trees were basically flattened, and there were also many large holes left behind by the Plague Overlords.
Lin wanted to enter these holes and explore deeper to see if she could reach the depths of the islands.
Lin chose the closest cave to the island. She had a feeling that she didn't need to specifically choose an island, because these caves were very likely … interconnected!
Indeed, they might all be connected underground, but if they were separated to create the Plague Overlord, it would be quite troublesome.
From the edge of the island to the nearest cave, Lin's troops didn't encounter any creatures before arriving at the entrance of the cave.
Lin didn't know where the large-eyed dragons had run off to. The island Lin went to this time was the last one in line, so they probably didn't exist here.
The Revivors and Hitmen's troops went all the way down from the cave where the Plague Overlord came from. Lin initially thought that something had pushed the Plague Overlord up from the ground, but it might have been something very deep …
Speaking of which, the Head of the Plague Fungi was a very strange thing. It was so huge, yet it was pieced together from all kinds of living creatures. Every Plague Fungus would take many years to create, and that was even more so for the Plague Fungi.
It was difficult to guess how the Plague Fungi came up with this method of creation, because they often acted very 'dumb'.
However, it did feel very dumb after it was created. It was so big, but it only had two legs … But Lin was more curious about … the meaning of its existence.
Obviously, the Plague Overlord wasn't created to deal with Lin. The Plague Overlord should have been buried underground for a very long time, but why? Why was the Plague Overlord buried here?
Furthermore, there were other troops gathered here as well, which was very strange. Lin hadn't encountered so many troops when she was attacking the Plague Fungi, so why were they gathered here?
This was the mystery Lin wanted to solve, which was why the Hitmen's troops went deeper into the cave. Lin had now reached a depth of over 50 meters, but she still hadn't seen anything that pushed the Plague Overlord up …
This time, Lin wasn't here to assassinate anyone, so all the Hitmen glowed and carefully observed their surroundings. The soil in this cave wasn't the usual soil of plants, but rather a kind of dried soil from the sea. The soil was very soft, so the Plague Overlord was able to easily squeeze it out of the ground.
The further down they went, the denser the soil became, until they reached a depth of over 70 meters …
Lin saw that they had reached the end of the cave, and there was a large pile of wet soil at the bottom.
The Revivors among the Hitmen slowly floated over and reached out with their tentacles to touch the soil.
… This was seawater.
Perhaps some seawater had seeped in here, but not much. The Hitmen then moved forward and began to dig up the wet soil.
There should be a deeper passage down there.
The assassins dug at high speed and soon dug out the mud. Sure enough, a cave appeared before Lin's eyes.
The cave had become much narrower, about the width of the Plague Overlord's foot. From here on out, the walls of the cave had turned into a stone structure. The surroundings were very wet, and seawater had indeed seeped in, but Lin still hadn't seen anything that pushed the Plague Overlord up.
Could it have pushed itself up there? That didn't seem likely.
The stone cave continued to go down vertically. After a few dozen meters, Lin saw a light up ahead, as if they had reached the end of the vertical cave.
After Lin's troops jumped down from the vertical cave, they found themselves in another underground space. Lin had seen this kind of space many times before, but this one … seemed a little different. [Astronomy.]
