Lin had learned a lot about how to create the First Plague Head. At first, the First Plague Head would be assembled from various living creatures, then wrapped in a layer of mycelium. These mycelium would harden after a certain period of time, then grow mycelium from the inside to connect to the living creatures inside. After that, the First Plague Head would be filled with a special liquid that could be used for spraying or as nutrients. Finally, a head with three large holes was installed. At this stage, the First Plague Head would be able to move, but it was still far from completion …
Next, the fungus would slowly dissolve the creatures inside until only their muscle structure and brain remained. Then, the fungus would reconstruct these muscles and stabilize them with strong mycelium. The hardened mycelium would form a skeleton-like structure. Some special mycelium would also act as a nerve structure, connecting the brains of these creatures together, allowing them to control the muscles of the whole body.
At that moment, the First Plague was finally completed. Although it was still a mystery as to how it managed to integrate the muscles of creatures of different sizes and species to control such a gigantic body, it was indeed an incredible work of art. No one knew how the brain came up with such a composition. When the army of the Subhuman Special Forces approached, the brain came up with this idea under extreme circumstances. However, the First Plague's unstable body shape made it difficult for it to achieve anything.
At least, that was what Lin thought so far.
Thud …
An earthquake of footsteps echoed on the beach that was dyed purple by the fungus' blood. Lin remembered that this thing was probably the largest 'animal' she had ever seen.
It looked like a wingless giant wyvern, about eighty meters long from its head to its thick tail. The brain probably knew that such a large body couldn't be fitted with wings. It didn't stand up like the other Plague Heads. Instead, all four of its limbs touched the ground. Even so, half of its huge body was exposed above the water, and it looked even bigger when it walked on the beach.
Perhaps it would be better to call this monster the Plague Dragon. Who would have thought that the originally upright form would transform into a flying dragon after it was completed? However, the fact that it was lying on all fours on the ground already solved the problem of its unstable body.
There were two rows of small holes on both sides of the Plague Dragon's back. They were probably used to release the mist from before, which probably contained bacterial dust. As expected, this thing's various functions were very complete.
Lin felt that it was necessary to test how powerful this finished product was.
One of the Styx Cannons aimed at the monster that had stepped onto the beach. Along with the roar of the cannons, armor-piercing bullets swept across the beach at high speed. One of the armor-piercing bullets hit the head of the plague dragon.
Lin felt the shell shatter … It was the shell of the armor-piercing bullet.
At the moment of impact, the shell shattered, but the Plague Dragon didn't seem to have suffered any damage.
"Ugh!" Suddenly, the Plague Dragon opened its mouth. A jet of water burst out of the air and hit the Styx Cannon. The shell of the cannon was instantly corroded by a large amount of liquid. However, the liquid didn't grow any mycelium.
The outer shell of the finished product was indeed strengthened a lot. The First of the Plague wasn't just hard on the outer shell. It was also mixed with a lot of extremely tough mycelium, and the attack mode of this finished product seemed to be a bit different. The water column it sprayed out did not contain mycelium.
.. . Boom!
Several Styx Cannons began firing armor-piercing rounds. This time, Lin used another type of melting armor-piercing rounds. These armor-piercing rounds struck the Plague Dragon's eyes three times in succession. The continuous impact forced it to stop in its tracks. This time, some cracks appeared on the Plague Dragon's carapace …
"Ugh …" The Plague Dragon made the same low sound as the other Plague Dragons. Lin could feel that it was clearly angry. This was different from the other fungal monsters. It opened its mouth and shot out another jet of water. At the same time, several Styx Cannons fired at the same time!
The moment the bullet collided with the jet of water, the impact of the jet of water instantly sent the bullet flying. The jet of water then hit one of the Styx Cannons. Lin felt that the powerful impact almost blew the entire cannon away. The dissolving liquid also quickly disintegrated the cannon. A few seconds later, only a pile of corroded debris was left where the cannon used to be.
This is … really scary.
Lin felt that the Plague Dragon and the others were created by the Cerebrum to fight underwater. Why did it have the ability to shoot jets of water? This attack shouldn't be very effective underwater, but it seemed to be very powerful on land.
Maybe if I get rid of it, I'll be able to solve these mysteries.
However, Lin had already dismantled some of the cannons and bombs underground. There weren't many bombs left. If she wanted to use the limited number of bombs to kill the Plague Dragon, she would have to hit only one spot. No matter how strong the armor was, it wouldn't be able to withstand continuous attacks.
The Styx Cannons aimed at the Plague Dragon again. Several armor-piercing bullets were fired, aiming at the crack on its head.
Under the continuous impact of the bullets, the crack on the Plague Dragon's head widened. However, the bullets still didn't penetrate it. The Plague Dragon shook its head and suddenly roared. A large amount of fog was released from its back. The fog grew rapidly, covering the Plague Dragon and the surrounding beach. At the same time, it spread towards the Styx Cannons.
Lin noticed that the two cannons that were hit by the Plague Dragon's jets of water suddenly grew a large amount of mycelium when they came into contact with the fog. The mycelium quickly spread to the surroundings, trying to get close to the Styx Cannons.
So that's how it is. The jets of water did not contain any mycelium. That's why the Plague Dragon relied on releasing a large amount of mycelium from its back to grow its mycelium.
But it only needed one more shot from the Art Creator …
"Wuuu —"
Suddenly, Lin heard a sound that sounded like a bird's cry. It was obviously the Plague Dragon's cry. Lin didn't know what it meant, but she could also hear other sounds coming from the sea.
It sounded like the sound of waves. Accompanied by the Plague Dragon's cry, the sounds became more and more obvious. It felt like … a large object was emerging from the sea.
Lin thought of the most troublesome possibility …
Boom! One of the Styx Cannons fired an Art Creator into the air. Under the shockwave, the fog quickly dispersed. Now, the giant monster that appeared in front of Lin was no longer just the Plague Dragon. On both sides of its body, there were ten large figures standing on the sea's surface.
Those were the Plague Chiefs … Lin had already guessed that the Plague Dragon's roar just now was probably summoning them. These Plague Chiefs should be buried in various parts of this sea, and since the area was too large, it was normal that Lin couldn't find them before. What Lin wanted to know was how many Plague Chiefs the brain had created. However, these were all 'unfinished products' that could stand on two legs, and there was only one Plague Dragon.
These Plague Leaders looked a little different. Their legs were thicker and rounder, somewhat like … the legs of some of the large dinosaurs on the continent. This structure seemed to allow them to stand in the air without falling.
Moreover, they were all making this low sound. That was the precursor to their jets.
Boom! Suddenly, ten water jets shot out from the mouths of these Plague Leaders. Almost at the same time, the Styx Cannons were fired.
The impact of the bombs and the water jets caused a loud boom. This time, Lin didn't use armor-piercing bombs but air pressure bombs. These bombs could directly explode the water jets and block the water jets. Moreover, one of the bombs was … an Art Creator.
Under the impact of the artistic shockwave, a few of the Plague Leaders who were standing on the edge of the beach could no longer maintain their balance and fell backwards. These gigantic creatures collapsed on the surface of the sea, accompanied by loud noises and waves. Although she couldn't see them clearly from her position, Lin felt that they wouldn't be able to get up again.
The Plague Leaders behind only bent their bodies a little but didn't fall. It seemed that the Art Creator wasn't powerful enough.
The Styx Cannon's muzzle was limited in diameter. It couldn't fire an Art Creator that was too big.
At this time, the Plague Dragon looked around at the fallen Plague Leaders. It suddenly let out the same cry as before. At the same time, its four limbs began to move quickly. It was charging towards them!
Lin could not believe that this creature could run so fast. She felt as if the whole island was vibrating with its movement. The Plague Dragon's body allowed it to reach the Styx Cannons even when its tail was still on the beach. Its huge mouth instantly pulled a cannon out of the sand. The powerful force tore the muscle structure that connected the cannon. The Plague Dragon lifted the cannon high into the air and swallowed it whole!
Lin felt the huge pressure inside the Plague Dragon's body crush the cannon into pieces. At the same time, a large amount of liquid dissolved into it. It was difficult for the cannon to retaliate.
At this time, the cannons on both sides fired several armor-piercing bombs at the Plague Dragon's abdomen. The impact of the drills caused cracks to appear on the sides of its abdomen.
The Plague Dragon turned its head and sprayed a large amount of liquid at one of the cannons. The cannon was quickly dissolved into nothingness, but there were still dozens of cannons around it ready to fire again.
This was the last of the armor-piercing bombs.
Bam!
A loud noise resounded across the beach under the scorching sun, but it wasn't from Lin's cannons. Instead, from the direction of the beach, ten water pillars shot out at the same time and hit the cannons. A large amount of mycelium grew on the cannons, and their shells were slowly dissolved.
Lin looked at the beach. A dozen more Plague Leaders appeared on the surface of the sea …
… Looks like this beach is going to be lost … Oh my god.
