Thud!
The golden body fell to the ground amidst the black fog and the swarm. The dragon no longer had the ability to fight.
Its body was almost completely crushed by the swarm. Its head, legs, wings, and tail had all turned into piles of golden alloy fragments. The complex parts inside were scattered all over the ground.
This structure was not easy to deal with. It killed a lot of the swarm, but there was only one of it. It was destined to be torn apart …
The black fog accumulated on the ground. The microorganisms inside started to form a large number of tubes on the ground. At the same time, they started to decompose the bodies of the swarm.
While they were transferring nutrients, Lin's pom-poms also floated to the broken pieces of the golden dragon.
Among the broken pieces, there was only one thing that was not crushed by the swarm. That was the thing called the 'control core'. It looked like a transparent cube, but the thing inside wasn't the metal manipulator. Instead, it was a creature that Lin was familiar with …
The pom-poms looked at the creature inside the transparent cube and spoke, "Maya."
However, the creature inside the cube did not respond …
It was not unconscious. Instead, it was still in a daze like before. But even in this state, it could still continue to release brainwaves.
Looking at its state, Lin suddenly thought of a possibility … Perhaps the brainworm itself could no longer think normally. It was in a 'sleep command' state …
Brainworms all had this ability. It was an ability that allowed them to continue to command their troops after they fell asleep. Even after they fell asleep, a part of their brain was still active. This way, their troops could carry out all kinds of tasks at any time.
But in this state, the actions of the brainworm's troops would be simpler.
And the 'creator' might have used some method to activate this sleep command. And to maintain it.
The pom-poms reached out and lifted the cube. Now, they had to bring it to a safe place, and then …
Thud! While Lin was thinking, a sound came from the pom-poms. A golden sphere with a diameter of two meters fell there.
Almost at the same time, the Inca swarm of locusts pounced forward and surrounded the sphere, tearing it apart.
Thud! The next second, another sphere fell into the swarm. Its impact sent the surrounding insects flying. The sphere spun quickly on the ground. Following that, it leaped and jumped in the direction of the pompoms!
The pompom immediately grabbed the headworm's cube and flew into the air, while the golden ball exploded when it got close to the pompom.
As the golden fragments splashed, a strange thing rushed out from the exploding golden ball. It sped up and snatched the headworm's cube from the cluster of pompoms.
Lin noticed that it was a creature that looked like a piece of jade. Its body was about the same size as the golden ball, more than two meters long. However, its body was covered in golden fur.
Furthermore, a pair of golden 'hands' had appeared on Mao Yu's back. It had used these hands to snatch the Brain Worm's cube …
The Golden Jade Hair fell to the ground, and a large number of insects immediately rushed towards it …
Dong! Another golden ball smashed down from the sky. When the swarm of insects was smashed away, Golden Jade Hair carried the headworm's cube and fled to a place where there were no insects.
Lin and the swarm came in from the west passage of the hall. Therefore, there were no insects in the east at all.
After running for a few steps, Golden Jade Hair suddenly fell to the ground, and the headworm's cube on its back flew out.
The cube that flew out suddenly floated up and slowly flew back towards the cluster of pompoms.
This scene was created by Lin herself.
'Drifting Souls' were a type of troops that were as ethereal as souls. They could move without being noticed by the enemy. This was also the first time Lin had created a creature that was based on the form of an atmospheric creature.
However, because they were very light, they were almost weightless. However, they could stick to the walls and move around, using this to lift heavy objects. At the same time, they also had the ability to create explosions with some special explosives.
Boom! The Golden Jade Hair that fell to the ground was instantly blasted into powder, and the headworm's cube returned to the pompoms. The pompoms brought it back to the swarm of insects and quickly flew back in the direction they came from.
Beep! At the same time, countless golden figures appeared on the east side of the hall. A large number of Golden Jade Hair rushed into the passage on the opposite side of the hall. Among them, there were some golden structures that looked like 'catapults'.
It seemed that the golden balls just now were thrown by them …
The Incan locusts were fearless. They rushed towards the new targets that had appeared!
Dong!! The huge golden balls drew an arc in the air and smashed into the swarm of insects. When some of the locusts were flattened, more of them rushed towards the Golden Jade Hair.
The Golden Jade Hair opened their mouths. The moment they opened their mouths, the locusts in front of them were sent flying as if they had been hit by something.
Bang! However, a few Golden Jade Hair were also sent flying. There were some huge creatures mixed in with the Incan swarm. They looked like giant beetles with scythes. Of course, they were stronger.
At the same time, Lin's black fog had spread over.
On the other side, Lin's pompoms flew quickly through the passage that was occupied by the swarm of insects and the black fog. They carried the headworm's cube to a safe place.
Lin was also paying attention to the battle. Looking at the Golden Jade Hair and the swarm of insects fighting, Lin had a different feeling.
The fighting style of these golden structures was very 'mixed'. They used all kinds of weapons and fighting styles. There was no coordination between them at all. It was as if they had been put together at the last minute to fight.
Could it be that they were like this, fighting and producing troops at the same time?
Perhaps the headworm would know the specific situation of this ship.
A room appeared in front of the pompoms. This room was also covered in black fog. Lin flew in with the headworm and placed the cube on the ground in the center of the room.
Slap! After being hit by a pompom, the transparent cube that trapped the headworm exploded. The headworm's lifeless appearance appeared in front of Lin's eyes.
A few pompoms tried to poke it with their hair, but it did not react at all. It was as if it did not know anything. However, it continued to release brain waves. If there was something to command it, it would attack the pompoms.
The pompoms pierced their hair into the headworm's body and began to investigate it …
… As expected.
Lin found that the main part of the headworm's consciousness was in a state of hibernation, while the part that controlled the troops was still awake.
This meant that it could control the troops in an 'unconscious' state.
Other than that, there did not seem to be anything out of the ordinary. This effect was very strange … How did it control the golden structures? Although it was completely possible to control them, how did the 'creator' make it distinguish the swarm of insects as enemy troops?
Lin did not see anything strange in the headworm's brain. It was just like a normal brain.
No matter what, it was best to wake it up first.
With that in mind, a few pompoms released some pheromones into the headworm's brain. This was enough to wake it up …
"… Guru?" Under the injection of the pheromones, the headworm's eyes slowly regained their original luster. It looked as if it had just woken up and looked at its surroundings in confusion.
This was …
In the headworm's brain, another kind of hormone suddenly rose rapidly. This caused its emotions to become abnormal!
"Guru!" It suddenly rolled on the ground as if it had gone mad. As it rolled on the ground, it mumbled some incomprehensible words ….
This behavior … seemed to be triggered by memories?
Lin looked at the headworm rolling on the ground and felt a little strange. There was nothing abnormal in its brain, and nothing else was stuffed into it. If that was the case, then there was only one possibility … memories.
Memories could also trigger the secretion of various kinds of hormones in the brain. When a creature thought of something, it would produce various kinds of hormones corresponding to the emotion of that thing.
And its current situation … was clearly a phenomenon caused by memories. In other words, the 'creator' had done something to it. After it woke up, it recalled it and fell into a state of madness …
But what could cause this kind of emotion?
It was easy to cause anger or sadness, but it was quite difficult to cause madness. Even if it was something unbelievable, the process of recalling it would not cause this kind of reaction.
At this time, the headworm rolled and hit the wall of the room. Then it stopped.
Its emotions seemed to have stabilized, but it was still in a state of madness. It was just that it was no longer rolling around.
This state did not require any special treatment. As long as its nerves were not dislocated or damaged, it would slowly recover on its own …
"They're coming."
Suddenly, the headworm said this.
"What?" A pompom asked the headworm, "Maya, have you recovered?"
"They're there! They're coming! "The headworm made a sound that sounded like a scream, then it began to roll again.
It seemed that it had not fully recovered yet … It would need to continue with some treatment.
"They're really coming!" The headworm hit the wall on the other side and continued to shout.
"They're coming, what do you mean?"
Although the pompom asked, there was still no response. It was just repeating this sentence, but the pheromones in its brain had decreased. It should have recovered some of its rationality.
Could it be that it was referring to that?
Outside the ship, Lin's troops had detected something and were approaching at a very fast speed.
