"Coo …"
Another 'Pestilence King' let out a deep growl and collapsed on the seabed with a loud crash. This was already the twentieth. Bechymos moved back and forth in the ocean, silencing these huge monsters in the seabed for eternity.
There were only ten of them left. Ever since Bechymos started attacking them, they had scattered and moved all over the place. These ten were the first to crawl up. They might have already moved far away. Bechymos looked around but could no longer see their figures.
However, it was still very easy to track their scent. Bechymos released a large group of small fish-like 'Stalkers' and moved around to search for the scattered Plague Heads. Meanwhile, Bechymos slowly floated to the surface of the water, revealing a tentacle of its eyeball to observe the group of fungal monsters on the surface of the water …
They were still swaying on the surface of the water. Lin did not know if they had any connection with the Plague Heads. They did not seem to know that the Plague Heads had already dispersed. Since that was the case, she decided to get rid of them first.
Bechymos slowly inhaled large amounts of water and pressed it into a series of smaller cannons on its back.
The high-pressure water could be shot out at an extremely fast speed, capable of cutting through some solid objects. Lin wanted to test out the power of this new move.
But just as Bechymos was about to fire, Lin suddenly sensed another signal. It came from the Isle of Fungi …
Lin's Sweepers were devouring and shredding the corpses on the beach. They saw a large number of bubbles emerging from the water, just like when the Plague Heads popped up earlier. But this time …
"Coo …" A deep growl was heard. A head appeared on the surface of the sea several tens of meters away. It rose higher and higher. Its neck, shoulders, and body were exposed …
This time, it was not a head, but a living Plague Head!
It was really strange. Lin's Stalkers had already found the ten Plague Heads that had scattered and fled, but they were still in the sea. None of them had approached the beach at all!
If that was the case … were there really other Plague Heads hidden under the sea? Speaking of which, the location of the Plague Heads in the sea was also very vague. Lin did not know where it had placed them. But at least she knew that it liked to bury them underground with mud or sand.
The Plague Head towered over the sea, its body several tens of meters tall. It slowly moved towards the beach while letting out deep growls …
This feeling was …
Lin immediately ordered the cleaners on the beach to move to the sides. Almost at the same time, a water column shot out from the Plague Lord's mouth. It shot directly into the pile of corpses on the beach. The corpses that were hit by the water column instantly grew countless mycelium. The mycelium spread and wrapped around the other corpses.
Bang!
In the next second, ten bombs hit the place where the mycelium was growing. The burning flames immediately rose from the spreading mycelium, preventing it from continuing to grow and spread.
The Plague Leader's water jets seemed to be the fastest way to make the plague fungus grow so far. Their gigantic bodies were used to store this kind of liquid. The Head of the Plague took two more steps forward, and at the same time, a deep voice came from its mouth …
However, several Styx Cannons were already aiming at the monster.
Bang!
The high-speed armor-piercing projectile spun and flew out. At the same time, the Plague Head also spat out a powerful water column. The water column collided with the armor-piercing projectile. The spinning projectile instantly splashed water all over the sky. The projectile's speed also slowed down, and it fell into the water from a high altitude.
Three more armor-piercing bullets flew towards the Plague Head, hitting its shoulder, neck, and abdomen respectively. The bullets collided with the Plague Head's armor and produced a loud bang. Lin could feel the bullets shattering at that moment, and three cracked holes appeared on the Plague Head's body.
However, it did not collapse. A large amount of liquid leaked out from the holes and dripped onto the sea. The Plague Leader was still moving forward.
As expected, it was much more difficult to deal with in the air. The armor-piercing bullets were not powerful enough to completely penetrate its shell. It seemed that the bullets would have to be improved and strengthened.
"Wuuu …" The Plague Leader growled again. A jet of water shot out from its mouth. Two Styx Cannons aimed at it and fired. One of the bullets hit the jet of water and exploded violently. The roar of the explosion caused purple rain to fall from the sky …
The water droplets produced a large number of mycelium, but they quickly died the moment they came into contact with the sea. Another bomb flew over the mycelium and flew directly into the hole in the abdomen of the Plague Head that was just shot by the armor-piercing bullet.
Speaking of which, what was a mycelium? It seemed like a 'flower' was an organ of a plant, but Lin had never seen a plant with such an organ …
Boom! A muffled explosion rang out.
A large amount of liquid shot out from the three holes on the Plague Leader's body. There were even some oddly shaped remains. Although it did not appear to be damaged on the surface, the internal structure of its body had been shattered by the explosion of the bullets that entered its abdomen. As the liquid and innards gushed out, the huge monster could no longer stand and collapsed on the sea surface with a loud crash.
Lin immediately sent out a team of hunters to search for the Plague Leader's body. Because there were too many corpses in the sea, the hunters were able to run on top of them without having to swim. As they approached the Plague Leader, they dug into the creature's wounds to conduct their research.
This Plague Leader seemed to be a little different from the ones Bechymos attacked before. Bechymos had investigated the Plague Leader after attacking it. The Plague Leader's body was basically composed of a large number of living creatures. However, the body of this Plague Leader was a little different. No living creatures could be seen here, but there were many muscle-like structures surrounded by layers of mycelium. The muscle-like structures did not belong to the same creature, but they were all grouped together. Among the muscle-like structures, there were also some structures that resembled a brain …
It felt as though the fungi had dissolved the outer shell and other organs of the creature, leaving behind only the muscles and the brain that controlled the muscles.
They could actually do such a thing? Lin was rather surprised.
She felt that many of the Plague Leaders were probably operating for the first time, but they did not make any mistakes. The computational ability of the brain was probably pretty good.
The hunters continued their investigation. It seemed that the Plague Leader's body was much harder than its head. It would be easier to break its head if they hit it. However, there were no organs inside its head, so it wouldn't die even if they hit it. All they needed to do was install a new head … Right, those heads they saw before were probably not unfinished products, but replacements?
That was indeed a possibility. Perhaps the Plague Leaders originally had the fungus monsters carry those replacements.
At this time, Lin's Bechymos was also preparing to deal with the other Plague Leaders. Ignoring the fungus monsters for the time being, the dangerous Plague Leaders should be dealt with first.
Near the island, some of the predators were exploring the sea to see if there would be any more Plague Leaders that would suddenly appear.
A considerable number of creatures had gathered in the sea and were fighting over the corpses on the surface. The hunters discovered a big hole in the place where the Plague Leader had appeared. The hole was full of sand and there seemed to be no trace of where it led.
It seemed like the Plague Leader was buried in this location. The Hunters needed to look around to see if there was anything else buried.
Generally speaking, Plague Leaders would emit a rather distinct smell after they moved, but before they moved, they would have no smell and would be harder to find.
After that, Lin's hunters did not find any Plague Chiefs nearby. Bechymos had already killed the ten Plague Chiefs that had scattered and fled.
Bechymos was now flying towards the place where the fungus monsters had gathered, preparing to deal with the last of the Plague Leaders.
Wait a minute …
When Bechymos approached the group of fungus monsters, she suddenly discovered that they were doing something strange. They were originally flying in circles on the surface of the sea, but now they were all huddled together.
Several large marine fungus monsters were at the bottom of the sea. Then, a large group of flying fungus monsters, such as locusts and the like, were piled up on top of them until they reached a height of about twenty meters. At the top of the pile of arthropods was a wyvern.
They seemed to be … forming some kind of shape, somewhat like a mountain. There were also two wyverns flying around the mountain, seemingly unable to join in.
Then, a large number of mycelium began to emerge around the group of fungus monsters, slowly wrapping them up completely.
They … couldn't be forming a Plague Leader, could they …?
This was rather interesting. They could actually form a Plague Leader without a brain? Who was the one commanding them?
Still, Lin felt that they would not succeed.
Lin watched as the mycelium slowly wrapped around the Plague Leaders. They seemed to have lost their balance and began to sway. The sway grew more and more intense until the Plague Leader toppled to one side, splashing seawater everywhere. Its entire body fell to the surface of the sea, the entangling mycelium breaking apart. The fungus monster that fell out of it struggled frantically on the surface of the sea.
What were they doing …? Lin began to feel that they seemed to have become smarter, but what was going on now?
The fungus monsters that fell to the surface of the sea stopped moving after struggling for a while. Only the wyvern climbed back onto the back of the marine fungus monster … It seemed that Lin hadn't done anything yet, but they had already killed a lot of themselves.
Now, it was time to put an end to them once and for all! * * * * * *
