"Boom!"
It felt like an earthquake was happening.
Lin's main base was located outside the rift valley in the north of the continent. The barren wasteland had been transformed into a lush rainforest by Lin. Now, it was once again under threat from the earth.
The base was mainly made up of complex pipes buried underground. Lin could feel that the pipes were being squeezed by a great force. It was obvious that the roots from underground had entangled the base's tunnels.
The creator was much more powerful than Lin had expected. It had actually discovered this place so quickly. Lin didn't know how it had discovered this place, because every unit related to the brain had some connection to the Brain of Dreams. The creator should have found the location of the Brain of Dreams.
The creator might have fought similar species before, so it had the experience of finding the brain.
Perhaps when Lin had attacked the roots, the creator had only thought that the floating balls were wild creatures, so it had used a more ordinary method to lure and capture them.
But after Lin had destroyed its roots one after another, it had realized that this was not an ordinary situation.
So that's how it was. The creator had noticed Lin a long time ago? As expected, it had powerful thinking abilities.
Although its attack method was relatively ordinary, the base of the base was still trembling.
Under the pressure of the roots, many areas of the base were constantly trembling. Lin could sense that the roots were focusing their attacks on the location of the Dreamscape's brain. It was located deep within a pipe, on top of a round shell-like object.
But Lin's base was very sturdy. It would not be destroyed so easily. But to prevent accidents from happening, It was better to escape first. Lin had the Brain of Dreams cut off the surrounding lines used to transmit nutrients. At the same time, several limbs grew out of the base. She carried the Brain of Dreams and quickly climbed up the tunnel.
Because it was stuck to the base, there was no need to worry about the Brain of Dreams falling down.
As the Brain of Dreams moved, the roots also started moving underground. They kept drilling into the soil outside the base, sometimes even trying to hit the walls of the pipe.
Lin had Dreamscape's Brain walk close to the ground and stop. At this time, the roots started to coil around the pipe, trying to attack the Brain of Dreams in the same way.
From this position, she could escape to the sky at any time. At the same time, Lin began to move some of the nutrients stored in the base to a position closer to the ground. In fact, most of the nutrients were in relatively high positions, so she didn't need to move them too much.
Now, let's see who will fall first!
Boom!
Under the impact of the Pioneer, countless cracks appeared on the huge tree trunk. In fact, Lin was very surprised. It seemed to be very hard, but it was not the skin that was hard. Instead, the structure under the skin was very different from that of ordinary trees. It was more like some kind of solid stone deep underground. Apart from this tree, only the Plague Dragon could withstand so many hits from the Pioneers.
However …
The Pathfinder once again spun its body and slammed into the tree trunk. The moment its spinning sharp head hit the trunk, the vibration instantly spread out and continued to spread underground.
"Rumble …" In the Emerald Dragon City above, the huge egg-shaped rock also shook slightly, scaring the surrounding Emerald Dragons away from the huge rock. The Viper Dragons resting on the rock were also scared out of their wits and scattered in all directions.
Below the ground, Lin could already see some larger cracks, as well as the internal structure of the tree.
Gulp.
Gulp?
A strange sound suddenly came from the tree trunk. From the cracks on the trunk, a large amount of water suddenly gushed out. It was like a burst of spring water, instantly flooding the underground cave where the Pathfinder was.
"Gulp …" The Pathfinder shook its body, and countless bubbles floated up. The place was completely submerged, and a hole big enough for the Pathfinder to crawl into appeared in the trunk.
However, Lin felt that the water was a bit strange. The water … was green. It should be the body fluid or something inside the Creator's trunk. The Pathfinder's shell was currently completely sealed, so there was no way to know what was inside the liquid.
The fungus on the Pathfinder's body began to grow after coming in contact with the water. A large number of mycelium began to erupt, but as they grew, they suddenly stopped and then became motionless.
This feeling … Lin let the Pathfinder shake its body. Under the Pathfinder's shaking, the mycelium shattered and scattered like crushed rocks.
So that's how it is. The 'fossil fungus' I saw before was really made by the Creator?
Lin felt that it was strange before. The Creator used a virus to infect plants and attack animals, but it wasn't as efficient as releasing the fungus directly. The Creator could have let the fungus devour all the creatures on the continent and then recycle the fungus.
The Creator didn't do this mainly because of the uncontrollable nature of the fungus. The fungus might at some point become uncontrollable and start to grow wildly. In this case, it was very likely that it would turn around and attack the Creator.
Originally, the fungus wouldn't grow in the Creator's body, but after receiving the liquid from the trunk, the fungus began to grow. This meant that the fungus was out of the Creator's control. However, the liquid might contain a certain component that hardened the fungus. The Creator used this unstable 'weapon' in this way. If it 'disobeyed', the Creator would 'petrify' it.
The plague fungus Lin saw was probably a primitive fungus that had escaped the Creator's control, and it had evolved to become stronger.
And this evolution …
… Although the history of fungi was interesting, it was better to pay attention to the situation here first.
With that in mind, Lin let the Pathfinder start to move. Because of the large amount of water that was ejected, the Creator's bark burst open a larger hole.
The Pathfinder passed through this hole and swam into the hole in the trunk.
This place … was quite spacious.
After entering the trunk, a vast space appeared before the Pathfinder's eyes. It was as if it had entered the sea. It was completely different from ordinary solid wood. This place was full of water, and it was so spacious that it could easily accommodate the Pathfinder's entire body.
The water was light green, like a lake with a lot of moss-like plants. Because of this light green color, this place was very turbid. It was impossible to see the whole place clearly.
When he came in, the Pioneer felt a strange feeling. No, he felt it when the water sprayed on him. It was like … brain waves? But it was very weak …
The Pathfinder slowly swam forward in this green space. Although Lin knew that this was the signal's transmission point, she didn't know the exact location. She had to search for it.
This place was relatively empty, and there didn't seem to be any organs … That's it.
In the light emitted by the Pathfinder, a huge thing appeared. It looked like a bee's nest, about ten meters in length, width, and height. Its shape was irregular, and its surface was covered with dense holes. It floated there alone, with nothing around it connecting to it …
What was this thing? The Pathfinder opened an opening on the side of its body, and a ten-meter-long worm-type soldier swam out.
In the past, the Pathfinder's subsidiary worm was larger, but Lin had changed it to a smaller size so that she could carry more.
The subsidiary worm swam to this thing, and Lin found that the dense holes on it were about half a meter in diameter. Because it was very curved inside, she couldn't see anything.
Thus, the subsidiary worm released a group of bullets less than ten centimeters in diameter and swam into the hole. After a few turns, Lin saw that in the deepest part of the hole was … a creature.
This was … a sword flea? They were fat and accumulated in large numbers in the deepest part of the hole, and each of them was about one centimeter in size!
This was very big because none of the sword fleas that Lin had encountered before were more than half a millimeter in size …
These sword fleas kept wriggling, and Lin let the bullets rush up and swallow a few of them.
"Coo!" When the warhead swallowed the Sword Fleas, these Sword Fleas suddenly exploded, releasing a huge amount of dissolved liquid that almost corroded the mouth of the warhead. However, a few of them were still quickly swallowed by the warhead into its' stomach ', which had a stronger resistance to corrosion. There, the Sword Fleas were quickly decomposed ….
This sword flea … was a queen.
Although the sword flea had exploded, Lin could tell from the analysis of its fragments that there were many reproductive structures in the body of this sword flea. It could produce a large number of eggs in a few seconds.
When it swallowed the queen, the bullet also swallowed a lot of water. Lin found that there were a large number of sword fleas in the green water, and there were also some cells.
These cells were very special. They were very similar to a kind of nerve cell in a biological brain, but they were all floating in the water alone.
In addition to these, there were also a lot of impurities, all kinds of cells and microscopic organisms. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what they were used for, but it was because of their abundance that the water here had this color.
This thing here should be called a 'sword flea nest', but it was all alone here. How could it provide a large number of sword fleas to all the roots?
Perhaps there were many of these nests? No matter what, she had to destroy it first. The Pathfinder instantly accelerated and slammed into the nest. Under the powerful impact, the nest was instantly drilled into pieces.
Next, she would see if there were any other organs. If it was too troublesome to find them, she would drill a few more holes in the outer skin. If too much water leaked out, the whole tree would collapse.
"Coo …" Just as Lin was thinking this, a sound suddenly came from above the Pathfinder. Then, a strange object sank down from above … It was the sound of astronomy.
