The Light of Day had illuminated the vast plains and forests, but everything had changed. Standing Scorpion City was covered by a large number of roots gushing out from the ground. Even the largest pyramid was covered with roots, as if they were going to crush the whole building. Large cracks appeared on the inclined walls of the pyramid. Some of the roots grew huge round leaves with a diameter of more than six meters. Other roots also slowly grew similar leaves, as if they were absorbing the sun's nutrients.
At the edge of the woodlands in the east, west, and south, it could be seen that the skeletal dragon creatures were not sleeping well. Many dragons were panting on the ground with weapons in their hands, and strange plant remains were everywhere around them.
Although they were frightened by this group of strange plants, they did not suffer any losses because these plants usually moved slowly and used broken roots to crawl on the ground. The threat was not very great.
However, this was probably only the initial impact. Under the attack of the virus, some plants began to change continuously. It was difficult to know what form they would take.
But the skeletal dragons should have enough defensive capabilities. At this initial stage, there was no need to be too concerned about them.
Lin was more concerned about how to obtain more information. These secrets must be obtained from one place — the creator …
Lin could not completely confirm that it was the creator, but it did have the ability to threaten the entire continent, and it had indirectly created creatures such as the White Skeletal Dragon.
It might even have a close relationship with various creatures nearby, such as the Atte tribe. Now, Lin wanted to see what kind of creature it was …
In the sky above Standing Scorpion City, many roots had stopped releasing the virus. And began to grow leaves. It seemed that they were going to change into a structure that absorbed nutrients.
And then. A huge shadow covered the leaf at the highest point.
It looked like a ball about ten meters in diameter, but in fact, it was really a ball.
It was called the Floating Ball. Most of Lin's sky bases were in this shape. A needle protruded from the bottom of the ball and gently pierced the surface of the leaf. Through the transparent needle, a large amount of red liquid could be seen being injected into the leaf.
It was a miniature troop class created by Lin: the Corroder. In short, they were tiny, spider-type, multicellular soldiers. They entered the leaves and swam freely among the tubes in the leaves, emitting a faint light to illuminate the surroundings.
The structure of this leaf was very similar to that of ordinary plants. There were many 'skeletons' supporting the whole leaf, and a large number of cells were absorbing light energy. However, there were some differences. There were many small sacs around the pipes, and it was unknown what they were used for …
Lin had a group of Corruptors gather among the leaves. Next, a small base was released from the floating orb above.
The base was about a millimeter in size, but to the microscopic creatures here, it was as tall as a mountain range. It can be used to produce Corruptors or release some 'destructive' substances.
Normally, Lin wouldn't decide to attack a creature so quickly, but this' creator 'was quite dangerous, perhaps it would be better to call it' destroyer '.
However, Lin was only in the observation phase right now. She wanted to understand it in more detail first, observe its structure, confirm its various behaviors, as well as … its intelligence.
What was that?
One of the Corruptors saw a non-single-celled creature swimming in front of it. Its whole body was covered in a carapace, and it was about twice the size of the Corruptor.
At this time, the creature seemed to have noticed the Corruptor as well. The tentacles on its body swayed slightly, and it swam towards them.
As it got closer, Lin got a clearer view of the creature. It looked like a 'Sword Flea' that Lin had seen before, but it was slightly different. This Sword Flea was much larger, and its abdomen was filled with barbed appendages. When it got closer, it suddenly sped up and spread its appendages to hug the Corrupter.
The Corruptor was hooked by the barbs on its limbs. Then, the sword flexed its limbs, and the Corruptor's body was instantly torn apart.
Then, the 'sword flea' quickly swallowed the pieces of the Corruptor and dissolved them inside its body.
But not long after it did that, it was surrounded by dozens of Festered. The Festered swarmed forward and used their spider-like fangs to bite open the Sword Flea's shell. Soon, the Festered devoured the Sword Flea.
This creature didn't seem to be anything special. Its internal structure was also very simple …
While Lin was thinking this, the group of Corruptors was surrounded by hundreds of 'sword fleas'. Most of them seemed to have come from other pipes, and their forms were different.
Some of them had barbed limbs like the ones she saw earlier, while others were half the size. Their limbs were sharp like swords, and their bodies were much more slender.
There was also a very small species, estimated to be only a tenth of the original size, and their appearances were very different.
Could it be ….. that this was a kind of miniature species? They lived ….. in the 'creator's' leaves?
This was a very strange discovery.
At this time, the swarm of sword fleas of various sizes rushed forward. Lin had the Corruptors immediately counterattack! Sword fleas liked to use their limbs to attack. No matter which type, they would use their sharp limbs to tear the Corruptor apart. If the larger sword fleas failed to attack, the smaller ones would pounce on them and use their tiny limbs to cut open the Corruptor's carapace.
Lin had the Corruptors ignore the attacks of the smaller ones and target the larger ones instead. They would stab their fangs and release a large amount of dissolving fluid.
The bodies of the sword fleas were unable to resist the dissolving fluid and broke apart. The smaller ones also fled due to the dissolving fluid.
It didn't take long for the Corruptors to defeat these small branching creatures, but Lin immediately noticed a large group of them surrounding her. This time, there was a particularly large one among them, about a hundred times the size of the Corruptors. It didn't have any appendages, but it had a mouth full of sharp blades, which it seemed to rely on to attack.
Lin also noticed that they would devour all kinds of debris around them. It seemed that, like the Dumetha Tree, these sword fleas acted as the 'creator's' immune system. But the Dumetha Tree's sword fleas only had one form, unlike the ones here that had so many forms.
Now, it wasn't just this place. Even the miniature base that Lin had let in earlier was under attack. A large number of sword fleas rushed over from all directions and began to besiege Lin's base.
