Boom!
The battle was still raging on the western shore of the Fungus Island. Corpses and remains of fungus monsters covered the ground of the bomb zone, allowing them to step over the corpses of their companions to pass through the zone. A large group of scorpion-type fungus monsters that had just landed were doing the same. They stepped over the remains of their companions to pass through the bomb zone and enter another zone ten meters away.
Lin called this place the 'Blade Mountain Range'. As soon as the scorpions stepped on the sand, sharp spikes shot out from the sand and pierced through their heads.
Here, there were punctured corpses of the fungus monsters everywhere. These thorns would retract back into the sand after piercing through the fungus monsters. They were all controlled by a huge network-like muscle system underground, so the thorns could still move slowly in the sand, changing directions and changing targets.
Large amounts of mycelium would soon emerge from the corpses of the fungus monsters, but then bacteria would seep out of the sand and devour the mycelium along with the corpses.
"Ugh …" Only one creature managed to reach the edge of the terrifying trap. It was a large reptilian fungus monster with many broken spikes sticking out of its legs. It let out a low growl as it moved forward …
Finally, its hard work paid off. It took the last step out of the spiked trap! It reached … the next trap zone.
As soon as it stepped on the ground, the sand suddenly sank in. It couldn't move at all in the pit, and its entire body slowly sank into the sand. At the same time, countless tiny soldiers began to gnaw at the fungus monster's legs. Just as it sank into the pit … It would be gnawed clean too.
This was the third trap known as the Ant Devourer Swamp. There were a total of five traps from the first to the last, each about ten meters long. Would the fungus monsters be able to pass through them and reach the Styx Cannon?
Boom! One of the Styx Cannons fired at the fungal behemoth that had emerged from the sea. Its brain exploded, and its enormous body collapsed to the ground.
Lin didn't think it was possible for any creature to pass through the complete trap.
The Styx Cannon was mainly used to deal with large sea creatures, such as those over ten meters tall. The traps weren't very effective against them, and the smaller fungus monsters were left to the traps to deal with. As for the air force, it was left to the turrets beside the Styx River Cannon.
The air force was still madly charging at the Styx Cannon's position. Their limbs were penetrated one after another, their corpses raining down like rain. Lin's Bacteriophages picked up their pace and devoured the corpses on the ground, preventing the fungus from growing any further.
At this time, Lin noticed another large fungal monster climbing onto the land. A Styx Cannon was immediately aimed at it …
"Wuuu —!!!"
Suddenly, a huge roar came from the sky. A flying dragon swooped down from the sky. Countless bone spikes hit its body in an instant, producing countless clanking sounds. Even though they couldn't penetrate the armor, they were able to create countless holes in the wing membrane of the wyvern.
The fifteen-meter-long wyvern hadn't completely lost its ability to fly. It rushed onto the Styx River Cannon and used its sharp claws to stab into the cannon's shell.
At this moment, the Styx River Cannon swung forcefully and threw the Wyvern off its body. The Wyvern rolled down from the platform where the cannon was located. It shook its body, and when it raised its head, it realized that the cannon was already aimed at it.
Bam!
With a loud bang, a huge crater appeared on the ground. The Wyvern was no longer in its original position, but … in the sky!
The Wyvern flapped its wing membrane, which was filled with bone spikes, and flew two meters above the cannon. Its mycelium-tainted eyes stared intently at the cannon, as if thinking about something.
This Wyvern … gave off a different feeling …
Bam! The cannon fired another explosive bullet. The bullet hit the Wyvern's chest and sent it flying. The armor-piercing bullet's rotational force instantly drilled through the Wyvern's carapace and into its chest. The rotating bullet shattered inside, and countless fragments minced the Wyvern's internal organs and flesh.
"Roar!" The Wyvern let out a low roar. It flapped its wings to stop its body from retreating, then flapped them again and rushed over! It grabbed the cannon's muzzle with its claws and used its mouth to viciously tear off a piece of carapace. Then, it opened its mouth and sprayed a large amount of fungal dust onto the exposed flesh of the cannon.
Bam! The cannon didn't stop firing. Another armor-piercing bullet broke the Wyvern's neck. The creature was finally unable to fight anymore and fell heavily onto the beach …
A large number of immune creatures gathered in the cannon's body, resisting the plague fungus that had entered through the wound …
Lin's attention … was mainly on the Wyvern that had fallen to the ground.
How could it still do such a thing with its carapace crushed? Lin found it quite unbelievable. It wasn't that infected creatures couldn't feel pain. They also knew how to avoid pain. Lin remembered that the Wyvern's spray sac was in its chest, so it should have been crushed together. Could it be that it was in its head instead?
But most importantly … it was very smart. It knew to attack from above. The Styx Cannon couldn't be raised completely in a straight line, and it also knew how to avoid the bullets.
Now, she looked at the other fungus monsters and the Wyverns in the sky. They didn't know how to do such a thing. They only knew how to charge forward.
Why were they like this? Could it be that one of them was especially intelligent? But it couldn't command its companions? It was a strange feeling …
Now, the fungus monsters on the beach had basically broken through the first line of defense. In fact, they relied on a large number of corpses piled up. The rate at which they produced corpses was faster than the speed at which the fungus devoured them. A large number of fungi began to grow wildly on these corpses, but the fungus devoured them slowly from below.
There were still a lot of fungus monsters. Because she couldn't see clearly, Lin couldn't calculate how long it would take to kill them all. However, the Pestilence King was too slow. They would occasionally fall on the seabed. Although they wouldn't break their bodies, it would take a long time for them to get back up. So, Lin still had a lot of time …
On the other side, Lin's assassins had entered a strange place. It was a huge cave that might be under the sea. Lin believed that the mystery of the fungus' intelligence could be solved here. Floating astronomy.
