As the Giant Styx Cannon slowly disintegrated under the dissolving liquid and the mycelium, the battle on the west coast of the Fungus Island had come to an end.
The Plague Dragon stepped on the remains of the Giant Styx Cannon and roared towards the sky, as if announcing its victory. Under its roar, more Plague Heads emerged from the surface of the sea. Accompanied by footsteps that sounded like an earthquake, they walked onto the land one by one and gathered around the Plague Dragon.
As expected, the defense was lost. Not a single one of the Giant Styx Cannons remained.
Lin wasn't surprised by this result. The Giant Styx Cannons had been greatly depleted due to the previous battle. Not only were there few bullets left, some of the Giant Styx Cannons' muscles were also greatly damaged, causing their reactions to become significantly slower. Some of them even had trouble turning around, and they couldn't fire bullets that were too fast.
Although the damage could be repaired, Lin didn't repair them because she wanted to recycle them. She also didn't add new ones to the underground arsenal because she felt that the remaining ones were enough …
Lin did expect the Plague Dragon to attack this place when she discovered the finished product in her brain's memories, but she didn't expect it to bring so many Plague Heads with it.
In fact, there shouldn't be so many Plague Heads. It had exceeded Lin's expectations. Perhaps these Plague Heads weren't just used for defense, but also participated in the extermination of the Subhumans.
However, there was another possibility. Lin suspected that the fungus monsters' behavior of combining themselves into the Chief Plague was due to the fact that their brains were stuck together with the brains of the Atte species. After they couldn't control the fungus, the fungus would still combine themselves into the Chief Plague.
This might explain why the Plague Heads were more suitable for fighting on land. After being 'cursed'. The brain would no longer be able to command the fungus. The plague fungus could still move on its own. They might have modified the original Plague Heads to adapt to the land environment, such as sealing their bodies so that water wouldn't enter their bodies. However, they didn't modify their bodies. Perhaps it was because they weren't intelligent enough. A 'perfect' form like the Plague Dragon could only be created by the brain.
Then, the plague fungus combined into a new batch of Plague Heads. Why did they do that? Was it the remnant will of the brain that made them want to create more? Lin Huang didn't know …
No matter what, this seemed to be very interesting. Was this the so-called final counterattack?
Now, the Plague Dragon had led the group of Plague Leaders onto the Fungal Island. The Flyers observed their movements from above. Wherever the monsters passed, mycelium would grow and mushrooms would rise. It was as if they were trying to revive the entire island. Every step they took would leave a large amount of fungi behind.
There weren't many corpses left on the island, and the fungi that had been growing everywhere had been devoured by Lin. Most of the energy had been transported to the center of the island. They were transported by a new type of transporter that was about seven meters long and shaped like a giant dragonfly.
The plague dragon might be able to sniff out the location of the nutrients. It was currently heading towards the center of the island. Following behind it were a total of 30 Plague Leaders. The synthesis of one Plague Leader would take a long time, a large amount of nutrients, and various other things, so there would not be too many of them.
Currently, Lin did not have any troops on the island that could deal with the Plague Leaders. After the victory, Lin did not create any troops at all. Initially, Lin thought that even if the plague dragon attacked, the coastal cannons would be enough to deal with it. However, the fact that she could summon a group of Plague Leaders changed the situation a little.
However, Bechymos was rushing towards this island from the Five Plague Islands. There were also a large number of floating spheres used for bombardment. Bechymos' troops were also Lin's last troops on this island. It was time for a decisive battle.
The plague dragon stepped on the ground of the Fungal Island. Looking at the land that had been devoured, it kept letting out low growls. Lin could sense that its emotions were very rich. It did not seem to be like the other Plague Leaders that had their brains scattered all over their bodies to control their bodies. Instead, it had a main brain that she did not know how it was constructed.
The plague dragon strolled across the land. They approached the 'distribution area' at the center of the island. There were many tower-like structures here that were about ten meters tall. The tip of each structure would secrete a kind of glue made of nutrients. The transporters would lick the glue from these towers. Once they had enough supplies, they would spread their wings and fly, transporting the nutrients back to the mainland.
Bam! Suddenly, an extremely powerful water column hit one of the towers. The tower instantly fell to the ground under the impact. The strong dissolving fluid was constantly breaking down its outer shell. A huge amount of bacterial dust also began to grow on its remains.
When they approached, Lin had already shut down the internal transport structure of the tower. The transporters had all left. However, some of the muscle structures in the tower would still be corroded by the fungi. Even with the bacteriophages, it would be difficult to resist these fungi that relied on the sprays of the Plague Leaders to grow rapidly.
* Whoosh! * A unique whistling sound came from the back of the dragon. A large amount of mist sprayed out from the small holes on its back, obscuring the vision of Lin's pilots.
* Boom! * Following that, three consecutive sounds came from the island. The towers were collapsing one after another.
Lin guessed that their main purpose was to obtain nutrients. These gigantic creatures probably did not consume much energy when they were inactive, but when they were active, they consumed a lot of energy. However, there were not many nutrients on the island for them to obtain. Most of them were either transported away or hidden underground. Unless the Plague Dragon could dig a hole, it would not be able to find them …
While Lin was deep in thought, the sound of digging could be heard from below. The Flyer flew into the mist. The mist wasn't very thick, so when they got closer, they could still see clearly. The Plague Dragon was using its sharp claws to dig into the ground. Coincidentally, there was a nutrient storage cabin below.
It seemed that covering up its smell was useless. Perhaps the plague dragon had a special sense of smell.
Lin did not want it to touch the nutrients stored underground. If that was the case, she had to get rid of it quickly.
* Boom! *
