Chapter 13: The Plague Strikes Back
"Stupid creatures, roar!"
The Head Bug and Wyvern were in one of the largest rooms in the rocky mountains at the edge of the jungle, and now the two of them were doing something strange that the Head Bug called 'learning'.
Most creatures inherit the abilities of the creatures that produced them, but Lynn found that some dinosaurs, including Wyverns, were different, and that some of their abilities needed to be taught by their elders, otherwise they would not understand a lot of things, which was one of the reasons why they had larger brains.
Because Wyvern doesn't have elders, the head worm has to come as an elder to teach the little wyvern to do all kinds of things, of course, the head worm doesn't know how the little wyvern teaches, but it says there is no problem.
"Gah!"
The little dragon immediately seemed to understand what the head worm meant, but it also had something to do with the fact that the head worm was constantly sending brainwave messages, and the little dragon opened its mouth and made a small sound.
"The wrong pronunciation, the right roar, can make the momentum extremely sufficient, even lethal, it should be like this."
As he spoke, the head worm made a "beep-" sound, which was a special sound made by it with its sound sac, as if it was constantly vibrating.
"Quack, quack!" The little dragon seemed to be stimulated by this sound, and appeared to be in pain, covering his hearing organs with his forelimbs.
"If you understand my teachings, you will have a future." The head worm's pronunciation lasted for more than ten seconds before stopping, and the little dragon's hearing organs finally rested.
But the head worm did not give the little dragon a rest, and it immediately said, "Twist the body and increase flexibility." Learn. ”
said. The head worm's body began to bend. Although its body appears to be fat, it can touch its head to its tail, but this has something to do with the fact that it does not have a skeleton.
Seeing this, the little dragon imitated the head worm, and it bit its tail with its head, but it couldn't reach it, and as a result, it turned into chasing its tail and turning in circles.
After more than sixty turns, the little dragon shook his body and fell to the ground.
"Good behavior, resist dizziness." The head worm gave it a few dozen seconds of rest this time, and then continued: "Start rolling. Do so. ”
Then the head worm rolled quickly on the ground, and the little flying dragon also learned to roll a few times when he saw this.
"It's good, rolling, dodging enemies, it works wonders."
The little dragon seemed to know that the head worm was praising it, and it ran to the head worm excitedly and crawled onto the head worm.
"Dumb creatures, look ahead, and then you'll learn about aerial battles, that's it. Future. ”
The head worm flung the little dragon to the ground and made it look at the display in front of it.
The screen in the viewer is a large group of flyers. There were a hundred of them, and they were flying at high speed in the air, and their mission was to besiege an island occupied by plague fungi, which was a kilometer wide and five hundred meters long.
Of the fungus-infested islands that Lynn found, this one was the largest, with plants that had not yet been completely corrupted, and many large tree remains, of course, which were well suited for fungi.
Before the flyers approach the island, the fungus on the island is ready, and they aim it in the air with a large mushroom structure about three meters high, which is used as an 'anti-aircraft cannon', and they shoot wood chips through guò explosions and other means, using high-speed sharp wood chips to shoot down flying people at high altitudes.
As they approached the island, the pilots began to rise into the air, rising rapidly in the starry sky under the dark night, and as soon as they reached an altitude of about a thousand meters, they were completely outside the range and perception range of the fungus.
Lynn discovered the way fungi transmit information, and when the fungus of one island is attacked, the other island will indeed know that when they are attacked, they will release a large amount of odor, which can be sensed by the fungal island as far away as ten kilometers, and produce a corresponding reaction.
This phenomenon has been found in many plants in the continent, that is, if a plant is eaten by a herbivorous dinosaur, it will release a smell, and after the nearby plants feel it, they will start to secrete venom.
However, the smell of the plague fungus is more interesting, it will secrete different odor messages when attacked, for example, it will emit one smell when attacked by fire, and another smell when attacked by a phage.
This way of transmitting scents is recent, and they don't do it when they first attack them.
They even know how to think, for example, by discovering that the phage was brought by the flyer, so they know they have to shoot down the flyer first.
Lynn didn't see the fungus have eye-like structures, but they did 'see' their surroundings, and it's not clear how they 'see', but it takes a long time to get from 'seeing' to 'reacting', so they need to be alerted in advance about which islands are being attacked.
Although, they use the method ...... Not very good, but in recent times, more ways to defend these fungi have begun to appear.
Hundreds of flyers swooped down from the sky, and in front of them were a large number of towering mushrooms, the heads of these mushrooms began to expand continuously after the flyer approached a distance of about three hundred meters, and then there was a loud noise throughout the island, and countless exploding pieces of wood shot towards the flyers in the air.
The pilots changed their movements in an instant, moving their bodies at high speed, dodging the flying pieces of wood.
The chips weren't carefully aimed, but were measured by quantity, so there were still a lot of flyers who had nowhere to hide and were shot down by the fungus, and the wreckage of these flyers and a large number of phages in their bodies fell to the island, and this time the fungus launched a second line of defense.
On the surface of the island, not only mycelium is covered, but also a hairy, moss-like structure that Lynn calls the 'miasma carpet', and when the wreckage of the flyer approaches, they release an ultra-high concentration of poisonous gas, which is a violent toxin that can quickly die after being absorbed by cells, and its effect is mainly similar to that of a lysate, which can break down cells and cause the organism to decay.
The remains of the aviator landed on the miasma carpet and were soon surrounded by a large number of hyphae, and the phages on it died from absorbing the miasma.
These scattered phages are too small to effectively filter the miasma.
Despite this, Lynn kept the pilots rushing to the island, and after the mushrooms of the plague fungus were blown up, they could not continue to shoot, and many of the pilots managed to approach the island, landing on the ground one after another, and then curling up before the mycelium surrounded them, secreting a layer of rapidly hardening chitin, and then dissolving themselves in the body, rapidly changing the structure inside.
The structure of the Aviator is quite simple, and the changes are very fast, and soon, a new class of troops will tear open the chitin, and climb out of it in large numbers, this class is called the 'Lysate', which is a new, more powerful class. (To be continued......)
