The ice shook continuously, and the cracks around it grew, and Lynn told the diggers to retreat back into the carrier, but it still had that little eyeball on the outside to watch the movement.
At this time, under the continuous vibration, the passage dug by the diggers in the ice had collapsed, and at the same time, Lin also saw that behind the transparent ice, a huge black figure gradually appeared.
What is it?
Lynn was intrigued by the object, but Lynn could only see its vague body through the ice now, unable to learn the details.
The only thing Lynn was sure was that it was almost the size of Lynn's aircraft carrier, and that it was constantly moving forward in the ice, and that it was going in the same direction as Lynn was.
Each time the creature moved, more cracks appeared in the surrounding ice, indicating that it was moving forward through the ice with great force.
What the hell is this?
Lynn had never seen a creature of this size, not even the largest amoeba that much of a suspension.
Although Lynn has seen a large-scale cell community gathering, this is obviously not a huge cell community, it is a whole creature!
Is there another organism that can combine multiple cells?
Lynn had never seen a creature of that kind, which was why it had always been invincible.
......As the creature got closer and closer, there was only a thin wall of ice between Lin and it, and in the next moment, the ice made a final collapse, and under the attack of the creature, the entire ice wall shattered, turning into countless small pieces of debris floating in the water, and then dissolving and disappearing.
At this time, the creature also appeared in front of Lynn's eyes.
It looked very strange, it didn't look like a normal cell, its head was a semi-circular structure, and it seemed to be very hard, and Lynn watched as the creature used its head to break the ice.
Its cylindrical body was long, with thread-like protrusions that extended into the ice cave it had dug out at the back.
And under the semicircular head, there are ten symmetrical tentacles, which seem to be used for movement.
No, that may not be called tentacles, because these 'tentacles' are not as flexible as real tentacles, they seem to bend only in one fixed direction, and are stiff, and have a few sections in between.
The word 'arthropod' is perhaps more appropriate for this creature.
At the end of these arthropods is a pincer-like structure with serrations on the inside, and Lynn coined a new term 'claw' to describe this structure.
This is a new creature, not only does it have a huge size, its body structure has never been seen before, and its appearance has a lot of new words in passing.
"Round Shield Worm", Lin thinks it's a pretty good name.
Lynn, though she liked the name, didn't like what the creature was doing right now.
The Round Shield Worm had now dug through the ice and was swimming towards Lynn's aircraft carrier, and Lynn didn't know what it was going to do, and it didn't know what it was supposed to do.
Attack it? Ignore it?
Lin will not act rashly when facing an opponent who is equal to herself, who knows if the opponent has the ability to destroy herself? But if you don't move, the opponent may not attack.
Lynn hesitated.
But the other side didn't.
The giant worm swam to the carrier's cortex, touching the surface of the cortex with its arthropods as if exploring something, and then, suddenly, its jagged pincer-like ends, clamped onto the cortex.
With a forceful pull, a large piece of the skin on the surface of the aircraft carrier was torn off by it, and then it was sent into the mouth without hesitation.
The Roundshield Worm's mouth looked like a hole with a circle of small blades around it, and Lynn's torn cortex was brought to her mouth, where they were cut into smaller pieces before being swallowed.
It hurts......
The cortex was torn apart, and then crushed and devoured, and this series of pains made Lin no longer hesitate, and she was instantly determined to destroy Miè, the enemy.
Counterattack!
Lin shook the tentacles on the side of the aircraft carrier vigorously, shaking off the round shield worms while twisting the entire body of the aircraft carrier, and at the same time opening the passage ports on all the aircraft carriers, allowing all the devourers to go out and attack the target!
It's so hard!
This was Lyn's first instinct after attacking the Round Shield Worm, as the opponent's semi-circular and smooth head made it impossible for the Devourer to swallow it, so Lynn concentrated on attacking the opponent's arthropods.
But the devourer's mouth is made up of cone cells and acid-infused beings, capable of shattering the composition of a qiē cell organism, but it cannot shake the hard shell of the round shield worm's arthropods.
In fact, it was difficult for them to bite even on the smooth hard shell, after all, the largest devourer was not half the size of the pincers of the Round Shield Worm, and the smallest pincers were not even as sharp as the serrated pincers.
And most of the Lynn are small devourers, originally large phagoguls were used to deal with large cell communities, but after all, they are too big to drill in the crevices of the gravel, so there are very few of them.
The Round Shield Worm didn't feel the slightest sense of Lynn's attack, and it wriggled and swam up, pounced on Lynn again, tearing pieces of skin off of it with its arthropods.
Because the cortex was torn apart, the single cells in the aircraft carrier were scattered, but the round shield worm did not seem to have the slightest interest in these tiny single cells, and was still tearing at the cortex of the aircraft carrier, and it seemed to only eat multicellular structures.
If this continues, Lynn may not be completely killed, but the aircraft carrier will definitely be lost.
Absolutely not! But how?
Lynn began to think quickly, noticing the writhing joints on the arthropods of the Roundshield Worm, which were white and should be more fragile than the black crust around them.
Lynn had the Devourers concentrate on attacking the joints, but its arthropods were shaking, making it difficult to aim, but as Lynn tried to do so, a large Devourer bit into the wrist joint of one of the arthropods.
The joints were made of a softer white substance, and Lynn made the devourer twist his body, and finally the devourer succeeded in tearing off a large piece of the soft white stuff under the sharp thorns and hard tearing of the lytic fluid and cone cells.
After tearing open the joint, Lynn noticed a large swarm of blue cells pouring out of the crack in the joint, and Lynn immediately thought that these cells were the things that made up the Round Shield Worm, which immediately caused the Devourers to start biting the surging cells, and caused some small Devourers to burrow into the crack in the joint.
It was dark inside, without any light, but some of Lynn's devourers had a lot of flashing balls mixed in their cortex in order to move through the darkness under the sand, so that even if it was dark, they could see the environment clearly.
The inside of the arthropod seemed to be a pipe-like place, filled with a faint stream of water, and it was covered with dense blue cells, which were constantly swimming towards the rift that Lin had just torn out, completely ignoring the invasion of Lynn's devourer.
There are some larger blue cells that seem to be plugging the hole with their bodies, thus preventing more blue blood cells from flowing outside.
Bite them.
Lin didn't hesitate, and the devourers immediately went up to attack the blue cells that blocked the mouth, and at the same time, Lin also let more devourers rush in through the rift and began to attack the blue cells inside.
At this time, the round shield worm finally reacted, it seemed to feel the pain, and shook the injured arthropod vigorously, but the remaining arthropod was still tearing at Lynn's aircraft carrier cortex.
Because of its flicking, it became difficult for Lin to invade from the outside, but that wound had already burrowed into dozens of devourers, and Lin began to let them desperately attack the surrounding ones inside.
At the same time, Lynn began to let the remaining devourers continue to attack the other joints, and caused a large number of blastballs and cone cells to swim out of the carrier's damaged cortex and charge directly into the mouth of the Round Shield Worm.
Since you can't bite from the outside, let's attack the inside directly!
