Chapter 9: The Fungal Dragon
"Get out of here, get out of me."
In front of a giant display, the head worm was staring at the frame carefully, and the little dragon pounced on it and kept making noise.
"Dull, small creatures, roll quickly and fall asleep, and don't wake up until you grow up."
The head worm looked impatient, it shook its body, and threw the little flying dragon off its body, and the little flying dragon pounced again, and climbed onto the back of the head worm again, the head worm suddenly rolled this time, crushing the little flying dragon under its body, and its fat and big body pressed against the little flying dragon, which was only ten centimeters long, making it rattle in pain.
The two of them don't get along very well, after the head worm 'repairs' the little wyvern's brain, it always sticks to the head worm, and the head worm basically shows impatience with it, and always rolls over it.
The little wyvern, on the other hand, was unrelentingly clinging to the head worm, and now desperately pulled itself from under the head worm, and then ran to the head worm and rubbed its head vigorously.
"Tumble." The head worm jerked out its head and knocked the little wyvern a few meters away.
Although this seems to be the relationship, the head worm will still take care of the baby wyvern and will feed it, and when it is at height, the head worm will occasionally have a 'happy' feeling.
The head worm once said: "Now: dull and small, later: strong and useful, worth cultivating, although it feels annoying." ”
The little dragon was knocked to the ground and rolled around many times, then quickly stood up and rushed towards the head worm, which shook its head again and knocked it away.
The little wyvern finally seemed to take it anymore and began to scream. This represents a meaning called 'crying'.
And the head worm hit the little dragon again. Make it look at the displayer and say, "Stupid creature." Observe the Manifestor, that is your kind. ”
"Gah?" The little wyvern stopped screaming and looked at the displayer suspiciously, and in the picture where the displayer appeared, a huge wyvern was flying, but this wyvern was different from the usual wyvern scales, and its scales were purple in color, which looked very strange.
This is a large creature that Lynn encounters on an island that has been infected with a fungus...... It's a wyvern!
The island where the wyvern is located has been almost completely infested with fungi. While the Wyvern was in the center of the island, Lynn showed the battle between the two sides to the head worm with a shower.
It turns out that the little flying dragon is not the last one, but Lin knows that it is impossible for it to reproduce after being infected by the fungus, and it is impossible to remove the fungus in its body, and the fungus will be closely associated with the living thing after it is completely controlled by the organism, and even change some structures in the organism, if the fungus is cleaned up, then the flying dragon will not survive, in fact, this flying dragon is no different from dead.
This wyvern is about seven meters long, which is a little smaller than the one in the jungle. And without long forelimbs, the little dragon tilted his head in confusion as he looked at the scene in the display. It seems that he doesn't recognize it at all.
After all, this wyvern has become a 'plague wyvern'.
Now that the Plague Wyvern had spotted Behemoth, it roared in anger and spread its wings towards Behemoth, which was high above the island.
Lynn felt as if it had only an angry emotion, perhaps a fungal effect, which made it extremely aggressive, and watched as the wyvern rushed towards it, and Behemoth aimed his cannon at it.
'Bang! ’
Behemoth fires a blast bomb with sticky inside, and Lynn tries to grab it and try it, but the plague dragon dodges the bomb with a flap of its wings.
It seems that the fungus still retains its usual intelligence? The Wyvern's brain is quite large, and because there is a second brain to help control the body, the main brain can have more free time for thinking.
The Plague Wyvern flew up to Behemoth and opened its mouth, and instead of fire, it spewed out a massive amount of fungus dust.
Fungus dust erupted from the dragon's mouth like a thick mist, and they clung to Behemoth's cortex and began to grow rapidly, and the plague fungus dust and the nutrients it carried were enough to provide them to pierce the skin of their opponents, burrow into the veins and devour a qiē.
But Lynn had added a special kind of resistance to the veins of Behemoth and the bombers who had come out to explore, and a large number of miniature phages swam out of Behemoth's veins, seeking out the mycelium that had pierced under the skin and breaking it down into nutrients belonging to Behemoth.
The way the plague fungus spreads is actually to feed Behemoth, and the phages can decompose them along with the dust that sticks to the epidermis of the mycelium.
Seeing this, the Plague Wyvern seemed to know that it had no effect, and it flapped its wings again and turned around and flew towards the island below, as if it wanted to escape.
Behemoth did not catch up, but released three 'Trappers', spider-like flying classes with eight arthropods and four wings, which could reach a full span of about five meters, and were used to capture the wyvern.
The Wyvern flies fast, but Lynn's captors can accelerate from the tail jet, and in a matter of seconds they are close to the Wyvern, which is flying right over the island.
At this time, the height is about 30 meters...... 'Bang! ’
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and a spike-like thing rushed out at high speed from below, aiming directly at one of Lynn's catchers, who immediately accelerated to dodge the spike.
The island below was full of giant mushrooms, and Lin saw one of the mushrooms burst, apparently the spike shot from it, and it seemed to be a chitin-like structure.
The Wyvern flew to the island in order to lure Rin to this place full of 'mushroom batteries', and sure enough, after infecting the creatures, the fungi's behavior became rapid.
'Bang...... Boom! ’
The giant mushrooms on the island exploded continuously, and a large number of sharp objects were continuously shot out with the sound of the explosion, these sharp objects were different, there were bone fragments, stones, wood chips and other objects, it looked like the plague fungus had spewed out all their undigested things, and under the dense 'barrage', the three catchers were pierced through the body by these sharp objects and landed on the island covered with mycelium.
A large amount of mycelium surrounded the three trappers, but at this time, Lin brought the phages in the trappers' body together and began to merge into a larger phage, which began to spread from the corpse surrounded by mycelium, step by step...... In turn, the fungus that devours the entire island......
And the plague wyvern, Behemoth had already aimed at it high in the air again...... (To be continued......)
