The fragments danced in the air.
Along with it, there was the roar of an explosion.
The moment the two armies were about to collide, the swarm of fireflies emitted a strong light. Countless fireflies floated up from the impact of the explosion and scattered in the air.
The ones fighting them were not the Rock Cutters, but the army that Lin had left in the air — the Leviathan.
The Leviathan was more than 300 meters long. Although it was very small compared to the Void Iceberg, it was enormous above the swarm of fireflies.
Bullets shot out from the Leviathan's body like raindrops and landed in the center of the firefly swarm.
Boom!
There was another explosion, and countless wreckage floated up.
These sounds were a new method that Lin had come up with to hear sounds in the air. The main purpose was to observe the vibrations of objects, calculate what sounds they would make, and then reproduce them in the Leviathan's brain.
It was the same with firing bullets. When the bullets exploded, even if there was no sound transmission, the brain would still hear the explosion.
This made the battle in the air similar to the battle in the air, more … three-dimensional.
Under the explosion, the fireflies scattered. They seemed to be running away, but they did not give up on their previous target. They were still rushing in the direction of the Rock Cutters. The two armies finally collided.
Crack! The Rock Cutter's open jaws suddenly closed, instantly snapping off the heads of the Fire Flies. Their heads slowly floated up, and at the severed head, a huge amount of internal organs and blood immediately spurted out. In a short period of time, the creature's body became an empty shell.
Some fireflies slammed into the Rock Cutters' bodies. They directly used their teeth to try to break the Rock Cutters' shells.
Lin felt that these creatures were quite powerful. One Rock Cutters was attacked by three fireflies. Its body was torn apart in a few seconds. Normally, in an environment with low and no gravity like the Void, these creatures should not have such great strength.
This strength meant that they had been specially strengthened, or they were very adapted to the environment with high gravity.
But even with this strength, these creatures could not fight against Lin's army.
Boom! Another explosion. More fireflies were blown away. At the same time, the Rock Cutters gathered in a circle and aimed their jaws outside. They resisted the attack of the fireflies.
Although there were a lot of fireflies, they couldn't attack Rock Cutter's body. They could only circle around it.
At the same time, Leviathan opened the airdrop cabin in the air, and a large number of sacs were ejected from the bottom of Leviathan, landing among the fireflies.
From the pouch that hit the ground, some large troop types flew out. Their bodies were up to three meters long. These troop types were designed according to the larvae of crabs. They could move in the void. These soldiers flew at high altitudes and shot a large number of spikes at the Fireflies below.
The spike pierced the firefly's shell. The moment their shells were pierced, their blood gushed out like a fountain. These creatures died instantly because of a small wound.
Under the attack of Leviathan's troops, the huge swarm of fireflies quickly decreased because they could not fly and could not attack Leviathan in the air.
The Fireflies on the ground fled in all directions, but they didn't run far. Soon, they circled back and tried to attack again.
She also wanted to see if they would run away so she could follow them to their nest, which might be the entrance to the creature's body.
Crack … Just as Lin was thinking this, a large number of cracks suddenly appeared on the ground.
Such a strong layer of ice … had cracks?
Bang! Along with a loud noise in Leviathan's head, a huge tentacle suddenly stretched out from the layer of ice. Leviathan instantly felt a wave of pain.
Leviathan felt its abdomen being pierced. The tentacle extended into Leviathan's body from the puncture point and finally came out of its back.
Rock Cutter on the ground could see the huge tentacle stretching out of the ice like a spear, piercing through Leviathan's abdomen and extending a little bit out of its back.
Before Leviathan's organs could be sucked out of the wound, Lin had already blocked all the openings. Almost all the troop types in the void had this ability.
However … this tentacle surprised Lin. First of all, it was extremely fast. Leviathan had reacted, but there was no way to dodge it.
It was also very sharp. Leviathan's outer shell wasn't the hardest and was mainly used to resist various substances in the void, but it still had a certain degree of sturdiness.
Most importantly, the Void Iceberg wasn't paying attention to Lin's movements as she thought. Instead, it had been paying attention to Lin's back all along, and was targeting her with its attacks.
Despite her surprise, Lin didn't let go of this opportunity. When the tentacle came out, the surrounding Rock Cutters immediately rushed to the roots of the tentacle and drilled in through the cracks in the ice.
The tentacle shook violently, but it didn't want to crush the Rock Cutters inside. Instead, it seemed to want to pull out of Leviathan's body.
Leviathan produced a large amount of mucus in its body, gluing the wound and the tentacle tightly together, making it impossible for the tentacle to pull out.
At the same time, Lin also noticed that the cracks in the ice caused by the tentacle were slowly closing up. In the end, the ice became exactly the same as before. There were no traces of it at all.
So the Void Iceberg had this kind of ability?
However, the Rock Cutters had already drilled deep into the ice. They weren't affected by the merging of the ice. They were now in a place that looked like a cave.
Some of the Rock Cutters emitted light, illuminating their surroundings.
No matter which direction they were in, the walls of the cave were the same colour as the ice. There seemed to be many other passages that led deeper into the cave.
Although this place looked like an ice cave, the temperature was much warmer than outside. The Rock Cutters moved together. Lin originally wanted to move separately, but this place could be quite dangerous.
The Rock Cutters walked into the deepest tunnel. As they moved forward, Lin found that there were quite a few forks in the path. However, the Rock Cutters continued to move in a straight line. Lin felt that she might be able to enter the center of its body …
The ice here was quite hard, but if they went further, they might find internal organs or something. However, there was no air here …
Suddenly, Lin felt a vibration coming from the ground. It wasn't the vibration of the Void Iceberg eating, but another kind of vibration.
The Rock Cutters suddenly felt a large amount of gas gushing out from the front of the cave, filling the cave in an instant.
Now, there was air? Lin had one of the Rock Cutters inhale some of the gas. It was a non-toxic gas. It didn't seem to be used against the Rock Cutters. As for whether it had other uses, it was unknown.
The Rock Cutters continued to move forward in this place filled with air. After walking for more than ten seconds, Lin saw something that looked like a plant growing on the ice wall ahead.
In fact, it couldn't be called a plant. It was flesh-colored, and its main body was a pillar-shaped ball of flesh. There were many branches extending around it, and there were many small balls of flesh growing on the branches.
What was this? The internal organs of the Void Iceberg?
One of the Rock Cutters approached the strange 'plant.' Then, it extended a sharp needle from its mouth and pierced into the target's body. Lin wanted to use a miniature soldier to see the internal structure of the plant.
Pow! The moment the needle pierced into the plant, the whole plant exploded. It seemed to be hollow inside, and there was nothing inside. Now, there were only some fragments floating around.
The Rock Cutters ate some of the floating fragments. It felt a bit like … the skin of an atmospheric creature. It was quite a strange feeling.
However, Lin had thought that this kind of creature floating in the void would have a more special structure. Now, it looked a bit like a pompom.
As the Rock Cutters went deeper into the cave, they found that the surrounding ice walls were full of similar 'plants.' These things would explode with the slightest provocation. They were stuck to the ice walls and didn't grow from inside, so they couldn't be used to drill into the ice.
The Rock Cutters moved faster and faster. The deeper they went, the higher the temperature. It was now higher than the freezing temperature, but the surroundings were still covered in ice.
The place had become very spacious, like a huge cave. The ground was full of flesh-colored plants, and the ground was full of potholes. A lot of water gathered in the potholes.
Of course, it wasn't water. The Rock Cutters approached the pool and sniffed it. It was probably some kind of liquid, but the flesh-colored plants seemed to be growing well in it.
But … what was this?
In a pothole without water, the Rock Cutters found something that reflected light. It seemed to be made of some kind of alloy. Half of it was embedded in the ice, and there were … some strange drawings on it.
The drawings looked like two standing creatures. They looked a bit like … Moss, but they weren't exactly the same. The creature on the left raised its hand. Although the two creatures looked different, Lin believed they must be the same kind.
Why was there an alloy plate here? And it looked like a creature from Lin's Dream?
Other than these two creatures, there were a bunch of strange lines and shapes drawn around them. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what they meant.
However, it was certain that this thing didn't belong to the Void Iceberg. It might have accidentally swallowed this thing into its body. Since there was no liquid in the pothole, it had been left here.
This plate meant … that there was such a creature in the void?
Lin Sanjiu didn't know where it had eaten this plate. She had sent out so many flying objects, but she hadn't found anything.
Although it was interesting, now wasn't the time to think about it.
The iceberg was now approaching a dangerous area. If Lin didn't stop it soon, it might destroy the entire area. (To be continued …)
