Chapter 120: Worms of Worms
The entrails of the Purgatory Worm are gone.
When the collector penetrated the wall of the esophagus into the purgatory worm's body, Lynn found that there were no blood vessels, no organs, nothing, and instead of disappearing, it had been eaten.
It was crowded with a small worm that was only more than a meter long, they looked exactly like the big Purgatory Worm, and Lin remembered that when the second Purgatory Worm came out, there were also many of these small worms at the same time, and they burrowed into the Purgatory Worm that had been injured by Lynn, and Lin thought that they might be healing, but she didn't expect to see them eating the organs of the Purgatory Worm now.
And there were quite a lot of them, Lynn remembered that they shouldn't have drilled that many at the time, and the Purgatory Worm didn't even have a hole in the wall of the esophagus, how did they get in?
The little worms are not toothless like the Purgatory Worms, they have several rounds of jagged teeth in their round mouths, and they are frantically devouring the guts, blood, or anything else that the Inferno Worms have, they almost eat a huge space in the bodies of the Purgatory Worms, they don't notice the small collectors entering, and they are still devouring all kinds of flesh and blood, but they all seem to agree that no worms bite the walls of the esophagus.
Could it be that the Inca swarm was planning to eat up the purgatory worms so that Lynn would not be able to dismantle the information? But how did they know that Lynn also learned the internal structure of other creatures to imitate them?
Anyway, it seems too late to stop them, the whole worm's body is gnawed all over the place, only some muscle structures are left attached to the shell and esophagus, when did they start eating? It's so fast. It doesn't look like the Purgatory Worm started eating it after it was crushed to death.
It's not easy for Lynn to get large classes to push the Homestead Tree into here right now. But now it's better than killing them. It is better to follow them and figure out the purpose of these little worms to eat the Purgatory Worms.
Lynn asked one of the collectors to deliberately go to a worm that was devouring flesh, and the worm swallowed the collector and the food without any doubts.
The flesh and blood of the Purgatory Worm were piled up in the body of the little worm, and the dissolved solution of the little worm was too dispersed by too much food, so that Lynn's collector could easily make a wound in the little worm's body and successfully parasitize it in its body close to the brain, so that Lynn could keep track of the worm.
Lynn watched the group of worms eat for a while. In the end, all the organs were eaten except for the muscles that were left to eat, and finally, the worms bit a hole in the esophagus, and they all burrowed into the tail of the purgatory worm together.
They then all emerged through the hole in their tails and into the mud beneath the Infernal Worms.
These small worms were eaten too much at once and the dissolution of the feeding sac was insufficient, which allowed Lynn's collectors to successfully burrow into the worms' bodies before they were dissolved.
Now the worms are traveling underground, heading towards the territory of the Inca swarm.
Lin was just going to go over there.
But before that, Lynn needs to restore the army. The Inca swarm still has quite a few troops left, which is quite normal. If you use all your strength at the beginning, there will be no way back after that.
Lin collected all the nutrients from the corpses and gave them to the few mobile bases she had been carrying with her to produce troops, and Lin didn't need to restore as many troops as she had before the war, she only needed a part of them.
As for the study of the Purgatory Worms, because the small worms ate them, Lynn could only study some muscle structures, and the other organs and how they synthesized hot liquids like lava were unknown.
Lin found that the carapace synthesis of the Purgatory Worm was also a bit troublesome, except for the two corpses that were ready-made, other ordinary creatures would not produce this chitin, which meant that Lin needed to go to some special places...... For example, if you look for a volcano, it is possible to find the material of this chitin, or the organism that can make this kind of crust.
It would take about two days and nights for the army to recover, and before that, Lin unleashed a large number of flyers to test for infection in nearby homestead trees.
Time...... Slowly pass.
Lin found that the good and bad state of the home tree is different, many are infected by the fungus and the whole body is ulcerated, and some are immune, this phenomenon is very strange, Lin investigated dozens of nearby home trees, and found that the good and bad home trees actually account for 50% each, and some of the home trees that are very close to each other will also have a good and a bad situation.
Normally, when a plant is harmed, it will send a scent message to alert nearby plants to the threat, but the home tree does not seem to do this.
In addition, ferns do not appear to be infected, and there are no signs of fungal corrosion.
But even if it's only 50%, if all those infected home trees are broken...... This underground world will collapse.
Lynn must hurry up and find a solution.
In addition, during this period, the Inca insect swarm has been building their rock nests, they seem to have forgotten the war, some of these rocks have been made very large, the largest length is more than 100 meters, the width is about 30 meters, Lin found that the black bees make these things very well, they remove the sand particles and other impurities in the rocks, and then combine the spider silk with the slime, which makes these rocks extremely strong, and will not collapse, but none of the nests are placed vertically on the ground, each one is placed horizontally on the ground, Like huge logs laid out on the ground, for which they have uprooted large areas of woodland.
The Aztecs also build the same nest in the desert above, but they are poorly built, not at the level of Inca swarms, and they are small, the largest being no more than 10 meters, but at least they can put together rocks without collapsing.
Lin asked the head worm, and although the head worm had no relevant memories, it also had the feeling that it wanted to build a rock nest.
"Fragments of genetic memory, not clear, but very useful, the ancestors must have made it, and I need to make it."
Although the head worm said so, it didn't build it, because the rock mountain it is now is like that, and at the same time, the head worm also said: "The rock nest, presumably, has something to do with the 'moon', Lin, you must pay attention." ”
Lynn did notice now that the Moon was only a little bigger than the other stars, but now it was getting bigger and bigger, as if it was getting closer and closer...... Speaking of which, how far away is the moon from here, and how big is it?
There are so many puzzles about the sky, but that's what makes sense of expectation.
Now the little worms are almost back in their territory under the desert of the Inca swarm, stopping at one location.
Lynn's army was about to start departing.
But before that, Lynn has one last thing to do...... Recording.
This war with the Inca swarm is really quite interesting, and it is unprecedented, evenly matched, huge and rich biological classes fight fiercely against each other, and Lin wants to record this qiē, using the method of the head worm.
Lynn retrieved a few sturdy and large rocks and had the predators and bombardiers match their claws with small explosives to depict each battle...... Every class of the Inca Swarm, Blaster, Executioner, Earthsplitter, Sandblaster, and Inferno Worm.
Although Lin can remember it without depicting it, she always finds it more interesting to paint, and after painting, Lin buried these stones and let them be kept here forever as a witness to history.
It doesn't feel like it makes sense......
After the painting, Lynn's army began to move, heading towards the territory of the Inca swarm, and along the way, Lynn would inspect each of the home trees, as well as observe the number of fungi in the air.
Lynn thinks the fungus can be spread in a way that can be used for herself.
During the march, Lin found that the surrounding home trees were similar, basically one was infected and the other was not infected, which felt very strange, why was it so average? Are they two kinds of trees?
It is indeed possible, many different species have developed from the same species, and Lynn thinks that as long as they cannot reach a reproductive relationship with each other, they can be counted as two creatures.
These homestead trees were supposed to be incomprecated with Inca swarms, but now they've all gathered in the rock-making area, and the nests in these homestead trees are placed there as if they had been discarded.
Soon, Lynn was at the location of the worm.
The worms didn't go very far underground, only about fifty kilometers from the battlefield, and Linneng, who knew from the collector who was parasitic on a worm, was in a home tree.
Maybe you can learn a little bit about the Purgatory Worm by dismantling this worm.
Lynn had a large number of predators surround the tree and look for any entrances to the tree, and soon they found some caves that could lead into the tree, and upon entering, Lynn found that there was only a large space, and the inside of the tree was also empty.
The worms were hiding directly underneath the homestead tree, possibly in the dirt.
Worms seem to be very fond of burrowing, so Lin also created a worm class for burrowing, which is three meters long and has a spiral-shaped chitinous head that can quickly dig tunnels in a rotating motion.
Lynn used this burrower to start digging at the inner bottom of the homestead, and it quickly dug a passage, and after digging about ten meters, Lin's burrower found an empty cavern area below, about thirty meters wide, full of the homestead's thick root system, and some glowing beetles crawled around on the root system, which provided light for the place.
Lin saw that the worms had gathered here before, because the burrower had come out of the roof of the cave, and they hadn't noticed Rin's appearance.
But they ...... What are you doing?
These little worms are constantly spitting out some gray liquid that hardens quickly when spit on the ground, and they keep spitting out liquid, as if they are combining these liquids into some shape. (To be continued......)
