Chapter 8: Sail to the Endless Desert (Revised)
The muzzle of the Leviathan's tail slammed into the compressed air, which made it even faster, and the Leviathan rushed into the worm's jaw at breakneck speed.
The Leviathan, which rushed into the worm's mouth, did not stop, but continued to speed up the sprint, and it was not until he rushed into a distance of about three meters that Lin was relieved.
It seems to have succeeded
It is impossible for the Leviathan, which is already on the run, to dodge the frontal attack of the worm, and if it tries to turn or retreat at that time, it will most likely be bitten in two by the worm.
But if you go straight into the worm's mouth, you may survive.
The worm's mouth, only about a meter at the front of it, is covered with large, extremely thick serrated teeth, these serrated teeth and hooked teeth cooperate with each other, the hooked teeth are responsible for grasping the prey, and the serrated teeth are used to crush the prey, so if Lynn rushes through the part of its fangs before it closes its mouth, and reaches deeper into its body, the Leviathan is not in danger......
Of course, the situation was too urgent at the time, and Lynn just glanced at it casually, and couldn't confirm whether there were more teeth in the worm's body for crushing the prey.
But since you can't dodge, it's still okay to gamble, and it seems to be the right bet.
The mouth of this worm is really big, and although the Leviathan is more than three meters, it is not very tall, and even if it stands up on its legs, it is only about one meter high, so it can get in.
Leviathan stretched out the lantern and shone it, its current location should be the place in the worm's esophagus, which was littered with dark red walls of flesh.
Now, this worm has become a 'bodyguard' to protect the Leviathan, and the Aztecs can't chase them here, they must have retreated, or they will wait to be eaten by the worms.
However, it was a question of when it would be able to get out, although it was not a problem to get out, the worm's body was not covered with thick heavy armor like the outside, and it should be easy for Lin to kill it now.
Before then, though, Lynn should have thought about the current situation, the few fleeing Assassins had been captured and killed, and it seemed that the Pinnacle Forest was indeed the territory of the Aztec Worms, and although they hid during the day, they would come out to attack the invaders at night.
It can be very difficult to defeat them...... The number of Aztec bugs, the types of troops, and even the speed of evolution are all a mystery, but if the sea doesn't recover, Lynn will have to live here and defeat them.
Moreover, even if Lin killed the worm and left, she didn't know where it was and if there would be other worms around.
…… What to do?
Just as Lin was thinking, there was a sudden '......' sound around her, and the worm's esophagus suddenly began to wriggle.
This is...... Swallow reaction?
The esophagus squeezes the Leviathan with great force, sending it deep inside the worm.
Lynn can't resist, and if she fights back here, the worm might spit out the Leviathan and then bite it, which won't be fun.
As the esophagus squeezed, Lynn was sent deeper into her body, but no matter how deep it was, Lynn looked at her surroundings, and it was exactly the same wall of flesh as her esophagus......
In fact, many worms are like that, there is an esophagus from beginning to end, and all the food eaten is processed in the esophagus, but I didn't expect this worm to evolve so big, and the internal structure is the same as those small worms.
But what surprised Lin even more was the length of the worm, Leviathan moved deep with the wriggling esophagus for a while before stopping, its size was much more than ten meters, and twenty meters was not necessarily.
Did they grow up feeding on Aztecs? However, according to the absence of worms in the Pinnacle Forest, the worms generally do not enter the Pinnacle Forest, and the Aztec Worms do not go to the other side of the coast, and the last time Lin was chased by the worms into the Pinnacle Forest, they should not be unable to enter, but they do not want to go in.
Why? Because of the presence of Aztecs, they are likely to have an antagonistic relationship with the worms, and will only attack each other if they invade each other's territory......
So, what exactly do worms eat? They don't grow plants, and it's hard for Lynn to imagine that some worms in the barren cliffs can grow so big, and there are still so many of them, that there will always be a tsunami that will bring fish and scorpions for them to eat.
There are so many riddles for land creatures......
The worm squeezed the Leviathan into one position and stopped, and Lynn found that the esophagus here secreted some mucus, which should be a lytic fluid, which could also be called 'stomach acid', but in small amounts, which had little effect on the Leviathan.
Then, there was a strong vibration around him, it was not the esophagus wriggling, and Lin speculated that the worms had burrowed back into the ground, and they might normally be hiding underground.
So, what now? Lynn really hadn't thought about it...... Because it doesn't know exactly where the worm is now, and if Leviathan kills the worm and comes out with a worm nest with a lot of worms around, it will be over.
The surrounding vibrations never stopped, and the worms seemed to keep digging deeper into the ground.
In short, the location of the worm must be confirmed first, but how?
Pregnant!
Lin felt like a bright light flashed in her thoughts, and she received some signals from the Pillar Forest, and one of the 'pilots' that Lin had made in imitation of the giant vein dragonfly had successfully flown in the repeated experiments!
And they weren't even attacked by the Aztecs, was it because they were too small to be ignored? Either way, Lynn can use them to confirm the location of the worms.
There were thirty pilots, and Lynn had the rest learn from the successful ones, and Lynn generated a large number of glowing cells in their tails so that they could fly in the dark, but they relied more on the olfactory tentacles on their heads to sense.
The little flyer flew over the Pinnacle Forest, and Lynn felt like she was swimming in water, but more brisk and comfortable.
The pilots flew over the Pinnacle Forest and came to the top of the cliff rocks, where there were only a few large holes in the rocky ground, and there were no bugs or worms.
The Aztecs retreated, but the pilots could feel where the worms were now, and one of Lynn's classes could feel exactly where the other class was without relying on any detection.
Beneath the rocks, the Leviathan felt like it was in a pit, and now the worm didn't move.
Do you want to let the flyer in and have a look? Let's wait and see if the worms come out.
Lynn asked the pilots to slow down the flapping of their wings, as if they were swimming in the water, and the pilots now float on the air currents coming from the direction of the ocean, which saves a lot of nutrients by flying.
The pilots waited until daylight to begin before they felt the worms move, and Leviathan felt the surrounding esophagus begin to vibrate again.
However, the worm did not burrow out of the ground, but kept moving underground, and the flyer followed the direction of the worm's movement.
The worm has been moving northward, and it has been moving through the entire Pinnacle Forest underground, never burrowing out of it until it has left the Pinnacle Forest and reached the desert location.
Leviathan felt a jolt again, but the position of the worm did not change, which meant ......
Under the watchful eye of the flyer, the worm emerged from the sand, revealing its massive head.
Two worms also came out of the surrounding sand, and it seems that it didn't come here alone.
What do they want to do in the desert? The pilots flew around the heads of the worms, and Lynn wondered if they were here to hunt for food. What can you eat in the desert?
Suddenly, the worms turned in the direction of the desert and began to move.
Strange, are they going to the desert?
I saw that the worms only exposed a small part of their heads, and headed into the endless sea of scorching sand.
The pilots immediately followed, and Lynn wondered what they were going to do, heading into this endless desert without a trace of water.
Or is it ...... What secrets are in this desert?
Leviathan can't come out now, because there are three worms here, and Leviathan can only stay in the worm's body for the time being, and follow them into the endless desert......
