The warmth of the sun and the smell of decay lingered in the air. Perhaps the entire continent could smell this smell.
The place where the sea of clouds used to be was now filled with the sound of chewing …
The sea of clouds that covered the land was now filled with holes like rotten wood that had been hollowed out. Countless insects moved in and out of the holes, the sound of their chewing could even be heard over the rumbling of thunder.
This sea of clouds had been eaten up by the Inca insects and Lin's army in the span of ten days and nights. The huge amount of energy meant that there was a huge army.
Looking down from the sky, one could see the black swarm of insects within ten kilometers, as well as some other troops that did not belong to the swarm … Lin's army.
A group of pompoms floated and flew into the caves above the sea of clouds.
Inside the cratered Cloud Sea Cave, a different scene could be seen.
This place had nothing to do with the sea of clouds. It was a huge insect nest. Using rocks and sand, towers and mountains rose from the ground. These towering structures were filled with insects that looked like ants. They transported the converted energy and transferred it to the top of the buildings.
Tens of thousands of giant insect eggs were hanging on the tower-like structure of the insect colony. Each egg was trembling slightly, as if the insects inside could not wait to come out.
Dozens of thirty-meter-long 'queens' were pacing back and forth, constantly laying countless eggs. Through the enormous supply of energy, they would quickly grow and hatch.
Crack! In front of the pompoms, a huge egg that had swelled to its limit was filled with cracks. Under the crumbling shell, a new type of insect that was more than ten meters long flew out.
Lin called them 'Ash Worms'. They were a new type of troop that was mixed with the information of the Purgatory Worms. The Inca insects would use them to deal with the enemy's light.
In fact, it did not matter that the Inca insects did not have this type of troop …
The pompoms flew past the nest filled with insects, flew out of the sea of clouds, and arrived at the endless blue sky.
And now. The blue sky was covered by a shadow. They were not dark clouds, but Lin's army.
This army did not fly below the sea of clouds. Instead, they directly extracted energy from the ground and transferred it. In the army, the main extraction troop was called 'Arrow Stone'.
Lin named it after a large creature that was commonly seen in the sea in the past.
These kinds of creatures were very rare in the ocean. However, their forms were very suitable for this battle.
The arrowstone had a conical shell and a large number of tentacles on its head.
The arrow stones in the sea were at most ten meters long, but here, their shapes were magnified five times by Lin.
Since they didn't need to use oxygen, it was much easier for them to fly now. These giant troop types were releasing large amounts of nutrients from their tentacles through another smaller troop type.
These small units would then provide nutrients to other units around them. Aside from the gigantic military units, Lin also had countless troops flying in the air.
Their forms were different, and their functions were also very different. Not only did they have the ability to deal with light, but they also had powerful combat capabilities.
Under Lin's research, she discovered that there was no other structure more suitable for combat than the 'insect form'.
The 'insect type' includes beetles and scorpions. Bees, spiders, plankton, and so on. These creatures were perfect for battle, so Lin's army was like another swarm of insects.
This battle would definitely be quite interesting.
With that in mind, Lin turned her attention to the distant horizon.
The 'creator's' giant ship was still in its original position without moving. They didn't seem to notice the abnormality in the distance and were still carrying out experiments to control creatures …
These 'creators' seemed to be continuously capturing many creatures outside and using some method to control them.
Lin's simulator didn't go deep into the ship. Instead, it was observing from a few rooms.
They put the creatures they captured into a golden rectangular box, then used some substance to keep them in a state of hibernation, and then took them out to control them one by one …
The method of control was very interesting. They didn't force the creatures to do anything, but used the method of education. They made them worship them.
Lin was currently observing an 'education' for the Emerald Dragons.
In this room, several Emerald Dragons sat on the ground, and in front of them, a golden statue was talking.
The 'creator' usually made other creatures worship them by first figuring out what they originally worshipped, and then treating them as the object of worship.
Just like how the White Skeleton Dragons treated them as their true creators …
However, the Emerald Dragons didn't seem to be as easily deceived as the White Skeleton Dragons. No matter what the statue in front of them said, they didn't react. Instead, they looked like they wanted to escape.
After speaking, they didn't directly ask the Emerald Dragons for their thoughts. Instead, they let them sleep again. Lin saw that the room in front of her was now filled with smoke.
The emerald dragons slowly fell into a deep sleep.
When they woke up, they would move the Emerald Dragons to the previous room and tie them to the ground to ask questions. If the answers didn't satisfy them, they would electrocute the target … It seemed that these Emerald Dragons wouldn't be able to survive.
However, this strange activity would soon stop.
The second day and night …
"It's ready." Under the morning sun, the imam, the shadowy monster, and the pompom gathered together, just like before …
However, the environment here was completely different. The surroundings were towering insect nests built by the insect swarm. The rotten smell in the air was thin, and chewing sounds could be heard everywhere.
"They've found us." That was the imam's first sentence. It used its spider forelimb to throw out a golden cube. The cube was only 5cm in size and appeared to be partially broken.
"There are many of these things." the imam said: "They use them for observation."
"I've seen many of them before." the pompom said.
Lin had seen many of these little things before. They didn't have any controllers, but were purely made of alloy. They seemed to be able to send signals very far away.
Lin had already dealt with all the suspicious cubes here, and the one the imam threw out was the last one.
Lin wasn't surprised that this place was discovered. In fact, with so many troops here, it would be strange if they didn't notice this place.
However, even if they discovered this place, the ships in the distance didn't seem to have any reaction.
They didn't seem to be preparing any defenses or anything else. They were still doing what they normally did.
Were they confident in their original defensive capabilities? Or did they think that Lin didn't know they had a ship here, and thought that they had dealt with all of Lin's scouting troops?
They would regret this error of judgment.
"Then … it's time to move out" the pompom told the shadowy monsters: "We need to destroy the target within this day and night"
The moment the pompom finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly resounded throughout the entire area. Countless insects crawled out of their nests and formed a huge troop. Like a river of insects, they rushed to the highest point and spread their transparent wings to fly into the sky.
The Incan insect swarm blotted out the sky, making the ground as dark as night.
As a large number of creatures flew into the sky, the pompom asked the imam: "What do you plan to do?"
"… I will go as well" the imam replied: "But not right now."
"Then goodbye" after saying that, the pompom also flew into the sky and joined the army that blotted out the sky.
Within Lin's army, there were a few soldiers called 'communicators'. They could directly send signals to communicate with the Incan insect swarm, allowing them to maintain unobstructed communication at all times.
"Move out."
As the first signal was sent out, the entire army began to move towards the target. Like a surging dark cloud, they flew away from this area that used to be a sea of clouds.
"Will they succeed …?"
The imam muttered to himself as he watched the insect swarm fly away from the dust-covered ground.
"Imam!" at this point, a skeletal dragon appeared behind him: "That one is ready."
"Then let's move out as well" after saying that, the imam and the skeletal dragon left this place.
…
On the other side, Lin's army and the Incan insect swarm were flying in the sky. The area that this army covered was now as dark as night. Countless small creatures were running for their lives, even the air creatures in the sky were running for their lives.
Even though the army wasn't attacking them, they were still terrified of them.
The pompom at the front of the army could already see the scattered clouds in the distance, the symbol of the dark sea of clouds.
The Creator's ship was docked deep within the dark sea of clouds, about 100 km away from here.
Even now, they still hadn't reacted.
As the insect army flew into the dark sea of clouds, Lin's signal rang out.
"No need to purposely attack the weak points" Lin told the Incan insect swarm: "Attack anywhere, completely surround it and destroy it"
"I understand your strategy" the Incan insect swarm replied to Lin with a similar army.
Even though the imam had said that the ship had many weak points, Lin didn't think it was necessary to purposely attack them. The best method was to attack anywhere, until the ship sank into the ground like the sea of clouds.
The distance of over 100 km was slowly shrinking. The gigantic target in the distance could be clearly seen from a few dozen km away, and the ship was finally reacting.
At the edge of the ship's deck, hundreds and thousands of crystals began to rise. Countless rays of light shot across the sky, illuminating the sky that was covered by the insect swarm …
