The reaper is about to die.

Under the constant rush of the locust swarm, Lynn probably cut off a few hundred 'plague locusts', they are quite fragile and defenseless, but they are a terrible plague as their name suggests.

The moment each locust is cut off, their broken bodies release countless fine powders, which are very similar to the 'fungus dust' used for fungal reproduction, because the Reaper's eyes are farsighted and cannot see the microscopic scene at close range, so Lynn does not notice this powder at first.

This fungus-like powder has the characteristics that fungi do not have, they are very sticky, they stick to the reaper's wings in large quantities, blocking the reaper's vent, and then the 'fungus dust' begins to grow, they directly absorb the locust internal organs and blood that stick to the reaper's wings, and begin to grow into a variety of shapes, including the 'mushroom' form like a fungus, and the spreading blanket form like the earth's crust, and at the same time create a dissolved liquid that tries to penetrate the reaper's hard shell and burrow into the reaper's body.

This biological attack is similar to that of fungi, but it grows faster and absorbs nutrients much faster than fungi, and they keep drilling through the hard shell of the reaper, and then piercing into the reaper's body, piercing the cells inside to absorb them quickly.

The Reaper does not have any special resistance, in order to fly rapidly, most of them are muscle cells, only a small number of glandular cells can secrete chitin, but they cannot stop the explosion of fungi, the fungus quickly grows and erodes in the reaper's body, and blocks the fumata, they grow layers of mycelium on the surface of the reaper's body to envelop the reaper. An explosive bug that wraps around the Reaper. Eventually, the Reaper could not continue flying. Falling from the sky into the sea.

Because the part of the Reaper's eye is also corroded, Lynn can't use it to see clearly, because the fungus in her body is still exploding, and it won't be long before she dies.

As it turned out, these locusts seem to be just carriers of this powerful fungus, and they may have some special symbiotic organisms, with locusts providing the fungus with the ability to move and the fungus attacking other organisms. Finally, after eating the whole island, they will leave with locusts.

At the moment, Lin didn't see what level of intelligence they had, and she didn't know if they were a division of labor species, so they might just keep eating.

However, the fungi that grow so fast can indeed be called the 'plague', the fungus is a new type of creature that Lynn has not fully understood until now, and this is much more powerful than the one in the twisted jungle, they can even drill through the high hardness shell of the reaper, although it is said that it has no corrosion protection ability to enhance the hardness and sharpness.

In this case, it is necessary for the troops to make some adjustments. But now there is no time.

Wandering plagues, they have appeared above the sea level. We're approaching Lynn's island.

But in that case, let's test the ability of this plague to infect.

The white sand was full of forts, and it was Lynn who had the head worm to command, and the swarm of purple locusts that covered the sky was already approaching the sky above the beach, ready to ...... at any time

"Shoot."

At this moment, all the turrets poured out their warheads, which dissolved and reassembled into sharp shapes of shell sand with rotating vents that could crush the target directly.

Lynn showed the head worm the whole battlefield, and the head worm seemed to attack very punctually, and the locusts that were smashed by the turret kept falling, and the fungus dust in their bodies spread out, spilling onto the beach like a sandstorm.

The fungus dust sprinkled on the beach had no nutrients and could not grow, and some of the fungi that happened to stick to the limbs of the scattered locusts suddenly began to grow, they grew long silk threads, or pompom-like spheres, but they quickly stopped before they could touch the forts, and these scattered limbs and debris were not enough nutrients for the fungus to grow.

It seems that they do grow on locusts, but only after the locusts die.

The swarms did not stop, ignoring the forts, but rushing towards the green-mossy plain behind the sand, slamming into the ground, and then ...... He's dead.

The locusts smashed themselves to pieces as fast as they could, and died on the mossy plains......

Is this suicide? Do they kill themselves to make the fungus grow?

Although the locusts are suicidal, they are very regular, their corpses do not pile together, each one crashes into the empty space where there are no locusts, so that the corpses are dense and not stacked, on their corpses, white hyphae soon emerge, they extend around, covering the moss on the ground, these mosses are quickly corroded by the fungus on the surface, the fungus extends inward, extracts the nutrients of the moss, and produces more fungi.

The speed at which these fungi grow is abnormal, but Lin found a feature, when they devour mosses, they do not grow so fast, and the fungi that grow from the locust carcass are not like ordinary creatures, maybe there are some special ingredients in the locust's body that can accelerate the growth of fungi.

However, they grow slowly on mosses only relatively speaking, and they are still much faster than ordinary fungi or any other living creature, so they are very suitable for the name plague.

There were also a large number of locusts that did not hit the mossy ground, but spun and flew in the air, some of them landed motionless on the corpses covered with fungus, and the number of locusts killed was probably only a few thousand, and only tens of thousands of people rushed to the islands, and most of them were left to fly around as if they were hovering at sea, and they did not intend to launch a full-scale attack.

The color-changing flyer observes the growth of fungi on the mossy floor, first spreading the mycelium, and then growing more complex structures on the mycelium, such as mushrooms, pompoms, and strange forms like trees, and the species seem to be different, some mushrooms will begin to swell after a certain number of dù, and then explode, and after the explosion, a large amount of fungal dust will be released, and the dust will be scattered in the wind, infecting moss and other creatures farther away.

The dust came into contact with the Explosive Spike Ball, which quickly rotted on its surface, causing the fungus to grow in sap juice, and as the surface corroded, the spikes of the Spike began to fall off one by one.

The flyers who observed in the air also came into contact with some fungus dust, which adhered to it and began to corrode the shell of the pilot, Lin found that they have a strong corrosive effect, which can corrupt the shell of the creature and make it bleed, they will grow rapidly by blood, the reaper did not find this effect at the beginning, it is estimated that the shell is too hard, and the fungus can only get into it after the locust blood sprinkled on the wings grows.

The aviator was stuck with a large amount of fungus dust, and the number of cells in its body was not enough to resist so much fungus dust, and it was quickly corroded, and the body of the pilot that fell to the ground also became a seedbed of fungus, and began to spread mycelium around.

Because Lynn was observing more than one flyer, this scene was clearly visible, but the other flyers who were used for observation also had a lot of fungus dust sticking to them......

Even if a small amount of fungus dust corrodes the shell, Lin can make the cells plug up again, but a large amount of it can't, and these few flyers can only retreat.

Lynn instead used a special eyeball, the 'televiser', to observe the spread of the fungus from the plains.

The growth rate of these fungi is really quite fast, a few thousand locusts cover less than 5% of the moss plains, but they have now grown to 15% of the plains, and they continue to release fungal dust to infect further targets, or in a day and night, the plains will become a jungle of fungi.

It's a terrifying lethality, and it's no wonder that the creatures here want to escape, remembering that the 'Wanderer' has a large amount of sand on its back, presumably as a way to avoid being infected by the fungus.

They don't seem to have much intelligence, fungi obviously don't grow brains, and locust brains shouldn't be too big, they just keep eating, converting all the nutrients into their own structure, which seems to be exactly the same feeling as primitive fungi behave.

For this creature, Lynn really should destroy them.

But how? Lynn has come up with a lot of ways to deal with this.

But let's wait and see.

As the day slowly passed, the fungi grew more and more vigorously on the mossy forest floor, and they grew all kinds of wonderful structures like plants, tall mushrooms and thick branches, fluffy 'branches', pompom-like fungus seeds, and the surface covered by white blankets, they not only continued to spread, but also began to desperately grow all kinds of strange structures, but they were still smaller than plants, and the largest mushroom was only about two meters.

But the strange thing is that they seem to be an aggregate of many kinds of fungi, not just one appearance, otherwise they would not have grown so many different structures.

Lynn noticed that the locusts that were hovering on the sea and in the sky flew over, and they landed on the fungus, and began to gnaw on the various structures that the fungus had grown, and the belly that fed on them swelled.

I see, is this the kind of relationship? Locusts allow the fungus to spread, and the fungus then breaks down other organisms to give back to the locust, achieving a special symbiosis.

The fungi were still spreading, but they were just as much as nourishing, devouring the moss, devouring a large number of thorn balls, and finally stopping until the end of the night, facing a barren rocky landscape.

There was no water in the rocky ground, only a small number of trees scattered and the fungus could not reach them, and their spread had to be suspended.

Lynn thought that the locusts would help the fungus spread, or wait for the wind to blow the dust across the rocks, but the locusts were still eating on the fungus, not paying much attention, and now there was no wind, but Lynn noticed that the fungus was starting to grow some large mushroom structures at the edge of the rocks, and these mushrooms were not upright, but curved, and aimed at the scattered trees on the rocky ground......

Then the mushrooms started to swell and more, and finally ......'Boom!' (To be continued......)
