Their cells formed at almost the same time. When the fungus successfully formed the mushroom cluster, Lin formed a fish-like creature. Its organs and form were extremely simple, very similar to the simple creature Lin formed a long time ago, the 'Devourer'. Their names were also very similar. This fish was called the 'Fast-grower'. What it needed to do was to open its mouth and … swallow its target!
The moment the 'Fast-grower' rushed out of the water, the 'mushroom cluster' formed by the plague dragon suddenly accelerated and dodged the fish's attack. It continuously shrank the mushrooms that grew under the water to spray water.
The 'Fast-grower' moved its flippers and quickly chased after it. Although the mushroom cluster had no eyes, it seemed to know where the 'Fast-grower' was. A few mushrooms on top bent slightly, aimed at the 'Fast-grower' on the water and began to expand.
Boom! A large number of small needles flew out of the exploding mushroom heads and hit the 'Fast-grower's' shell with a 'ding ding' sound. The 'Fast-grower's' body was covered by a simple layer of shell. Although it wasn't very hard, it had no problem blocking these small needles.
The 'Fast-grower' swam faster than the mushroom cluster. It was getting closer and closer to its target and opened its hollow mouth.
Boom! Another small explosion. A large number of mycelium sprayed out of an exploding mushroom. These mycelium spread on the water and entangled the 'Fast-grower' that swam past.
Lin could feel these mycelium growing on the 'Fast-grower'. They tried to drill into the 'Fast-grower's' shell, but the 'Fast-grower' was already close to its target …
This time, it couldn't dodge. The 'Fast-grower' leaped. A large mouth covered the 'mushroom cluster'.
The 'mushroom cluster' formed by the plague dragon was instantly swallowed by the 'Fast-grower'. Some of the mushrooms on it began to expand and explode. It released a large number of thin needles on the inner wall of the fish's belly. These needles contained mycelium and mycelium would extend from the needles, but the 'Fast-grower' also released a large number of substances in its body at the same time.
This wasn't a solution, but something that was easier to gather in large amounts — salt.
The 'Fast-grower' secreted a large amount of salt, causing the water in its body to become much more saline than seawater. This salinity was unbearable not only for fungi, but also for marine organisms.
Under the high salinity, the 'Fast-grower's' shriveled up. The mushrooms began to wither. They slowly dried up like plants, and then began to disintegrate.
In the end, the fungus completely drowned in the saltwater. Every single one of its cells died, and there was no sign of it being reborn.
It turned out that salt could also have such a fun effect. Perhaps it could not only be used to deal with fungi, but also other creatures with a high concentration of salt.
Lin carefully examined the fungus in the fast-growing creature's body. The mycelium that grew from the needles on the inside of the creature's body was also removed by the saltwater. The fast-growing creature then secreted some salt on the outside of its body. It killed the mycelium wrapped around his back.
After the fast-grower killed all the mycelium, Lin felt her surroundings become quiet …
It's over.
Endless raindrops continued to fall into the pond formed by the underground cave. The fast-growing ones dove into the water and looked at the corpses of the two behemoths submerged in the rain. The remains of Bechymos were already in tatters, while the head of the Plague Dragon had been blown to smithereens …
The war did not end with their deaths. Lin still had to put in a little more effort before she could be considered a true victory.
It was truly a difficult battle for Lin's' Fungus Island Garrison '.
The Plague Dragon, the leader of the Plague Dragons, and the army of fungus monsters were obviously used by the Cerebrum to deal with the Atte species. Who knew how many years they had been slumbering in this world? But now, they were actually able to be activated and fight to this extent. It was a little … inconceivable.
Perhaps it was because the situation was urgent? Did the Cerebrum have to constantly think of new forces? That was indeed a possibility.
The Plague Dragon was the most peculiar creature to Lin. It had a certain degree of intelligence, perhaps equivalent to the Ancient Squid or the Skeleton Dragon. It knew how to think and had rich emotions. There was a huge gap between the so-called 'finished product' and the 'unfinished product'. Lin would have to dissect it and take a look later.
In addition, although the Plague Dragon's carapace was not like the Infernal Worms', which were specially collected from volcanoes and other areas, it was made up of the shells of many common creatures. It was also made up of specially hardened fungi and extremely flexible mycelium. It was extremely resistant to all kinds of external pressure, and was also resistant to corrosion, fire and other effects. It was quite strong in this aspect. Lin Jie wondered how the Cerebrum came up with this idea …
At present, the battle was not completely over. There was still a group of Plague Dragons outside. Lin was deciding whether to have the mainland's forces come over to deal with them, or to use the nutrients underground to create troops to deal with them.
Lin was afraid that they would run around without the Plague Dragon's command. That would be a little troublesome. It was better to use the fastest method.
But … which was the fastest method?
At the same time, Lin still had to reconstruct Bechymos. She would start rebuilding on the remains of the Plague Dragon. This would be much faster than creating a new one.
Rumble …
Just as Lin was thinking, a tremor suddenly came from the surroundings. It seemed to be coming from below.
The fast-growing ones swam underwater to investigate. Lin discovered that the tremor came from near the headless corpse of the Plague Dragon. The soil that buried its body was actually trembling …
Could it be …
Suddenly, the mud exploded, and a huge claw stretched out from the mud at the bottom of the water! The huge claw kept shaking. The strong current caused by it made it difficult for the fast-growing ones to stabilize their bodies. But Lin could still see clearly that another claw had also emerged from the mud. Along with the tremor, a large amount of soil collapsed and cracked. The dragon's body seemed to be about to stand up from the mud.
Could it be that the Plague Dragon's brain was not on its head? But when Lin blew up its head, she did not feel any emotions from it.
Or … could it be that it had more than one brain?
The Plague Dragon pushed its claws against the ground. Then, its entire body slowly rose from the mud. The strong tremor stirred up the temporary rainwater lake. Lin and the fast-growing ones were swept to a corner of the cave by the current. When the surroundings stabilized again, the Plague Dragon's huge body was already standing on the surface of the water. Although its head was broken and its body was covered in mud, it still had the aura of a giant creature, as well as another … the aura of a victor.
… Although this aura was just a figment of Lin's imagination.
