Chapter 151: The Monster Attacking the Ship
While the dragons on the continent had developed, the chubby thing that rolled between the waves was not far behind, and the race of head worms had completely taken over the island, where it had built a large number of rocky mountains, crisscrossed by passages between them, and various troops shuttled through them.
Despite occupying the island, the Brain Worm colony did not overcrowd the living space of the island's original creatures, and they had a perfect balance between them.
"It's like rolling over a patch of grass without overpowering a single piece of grass, it's an art." The head worm evaluates its own race like this.
Speaking of which, the head worm also slowly understood the thing of 'art' from Lynn.
After Lin made a dream, the head worm also liked to come into this place, Lin did not limit the entry time of the head worm, because unexpectedly, the head worm will not be very 'addicted' here, maybe it is its rich thinking ability that makes it not like the skeleton dragon, after a long time, it will not be able to distinguish between the illusory and the real, and some skeleton dragons will become a little strange after staying for a long time, so they can't be allowed to come in for too long.
When the head worm comes in, it usually likes to roll in some soft places, and sometimes it will go out of its way to come to Lynn to talk about something, such as now.
The Brain Worm has expanded to its peak on the island, but an isolated island can only accommodate a certain number of creatures, and a larger area is needed to continue to grow the community.
The Brain Worm has also thought about returning to the mainland, but it prefers the island and the seascape.
In fact, Lin didn't want it to return to the mainland, otherwise it might have a conflict with the skeleton dragons, and there would be some trouble.
Fortunately, the limitations of the island are obviously not a problem for the head bugs. The head bug makes use of the wood it collects. Stone. Add some slime mixture to create a huge ship.
This ship is more than fifty meters long and can put down quite a few troops, but its strength has not been tested, and the head worm has not been tested, but is intended to be used directly.
While the head worm is going to sea to develop, it also wants to create a new head worm for its own race to be the commander, and it has already thought of a name, which is called Amon.
Generally, the head insect colony is every certain time. It usually takes about 30 years for a brain bug to be produced, but there are exceptions when the colony is too large and there is only one head bug.
However, before that, the Brainworm was going to test its own ship, so it boarded the ship with a bunch of troops, and it still used the 'sails' it used to move through the seas.
But the idea of sailing didn't last long, and just a few hundred meters from the island, the ship of the head worm was attacked, reportedly by some giant creature from the sea. The bottom of the ship leaked, and the entire hull was shattered by a series of attacks. Later the ship and a large number of troops sank into the sea.
Because the head worm is riding on the dragon, it is not in any danger, but the head worm still feels very ...... Wrath! But there was nothing it could do, because there were no aquatic troops, so it had to give up.
At this point, Lin didn't think it was very strange, there were some big sea creatures in the sea near this continent, Lin felt that they might not have been affected by the last disaster, otherwise they would have avoided it by some means, in short, it was not difficult for these huge monsters to destroy the ship of the head worm lightly.
However, after that, the head worm built several more ships, and they were more fortified, but every time they went to sea, they were attacked almost always at that location, and it was more suspicious here, as if some creature was deliberately ambushed in the sea to attack.
According to the head worm, every time its troops fell into the sea, no creatures ate them, and many managed to swim back to the island, indicating that the creature that attacked it was not for food.
This is even more suspicious.
So, Lynn also wanted to see what was attacking the ship of the head worm in the middle of the sea.
After waking up from the dream, Lynn quickly sent one of her troops, Behemoth, to the place where the head worm had sunk the ship to investigate, and the head worm also came out of the dream and rode its wyvern to meet at its destination.
"That's it, the sinking point."
Behemoth and Wyvern flew above the sea, the Wyvern was startled when he first saw Behemoth, but quickly calmed down under the words of the head worm, and now, the head worm was showing Lin the sinking site of the ship in the water, and there were still some floating debris on the surface of the sea, the latest ship of the head worm had sunk the previous day and night.
In other words, it's possible that the creature is still nearby......
Thinking about it, Behemoth immediately dived under the sea, and the moment she felt cold all over, Lynn saw a behemoth underwater.
It was a shark, just below Behemoth, and Lynn remembered seeing this shark, the last time it was in the river in the mainland, so it was like that, so it looked like the one in the river was swimming from the sea.
Although it was a behemoth, it was still much smaller than Behemoth, and Behemoth's sudden appearance frightened the shark, which quickly swung its body and disappeared into the darkness of the deep sea.
Behemoth ignored the sharks, instead unleashing a large number of flyers, a dual-purpose Scout class that Lynn has always loved, spreading out through the water, searching for any nearby creatures that might attack.
Behemoth, on the other hand, stayed where he was, to see if he would be attacked by anything......
In this way, Lin waited until the hour of night, and the head worm kept riding the wyvern around the sky, but ...... Lynn didn't wait for any attack.
And the detection of the pilots has also achieved a lot of results, speaking of which, the ocean here is ...... There is really a lot of life, there are a lot of benthic organisms on the bottom of the sea, such as corals or something, and there are huge amounts of plankton on the surface of the sea.
At the same time, Lynn also recorded a number of giant creatures, generally speaking, a body length of more than ten meters can be considered a giant, except for a species of shark, the others are more 'primitive' creatures, Lynn recorded several creatures that may attack ships.
The horseshoe crab, a scorpion-like arthropod with a length of more than 10 meters and a possible weight of more than ten tons, is capable of charging with a jet tube on its tail.
Wild Wave Worms, large worms with a body length of more than 20 meters, like to cruise on the surface of the sea, devouring any fish and other creatures, even giant sharks......
The sea and air jellyfish, a giant jellyfish with a length of more than 50 meters, Lin thinks it may be the same kind of air jellyfish she has seen before, it can live in the sea or in the air, it is a very interesting creature.
Obviously, jellyfish are more likely to attack, but they are usually plankton-eating, and this jellyfish likes to fly over the surface of the sea, using their tentacles to catch large numbers of small creatures on the surface, and they should not try to attack the ship of the head bug.
In other words, nothing has been discovered? Not really, on the seabed beneath the shipwreck, one of Lynn's flyers discovered something that the continent had seen before...... Split brain.
This wonderful thing is the same as the one produced by the brain-making monster in the continent, surrounded by red crystals, and there is a white thing inside.
Lin asked the flyer to disassemble the crystal, and found that the brain inside was dead, and did not release brain waves, this split brain can live in water, so it will not be drowned, and the main reason for death is that it was invaded by a worm.
The worm burrows through a hole in the surface of its crystals and eats part of the brain inside, a common parasitic marine worm that also specializes in attacking shellfish.
However, after discovering this split brain, there were more and more suspicious parts, and Lin always suspected that there was something strange left in the Yate group, maybe some of the remaining classes attacked the head worm, maybe a certain class affected the nearby giant jellyfish and asked it to attack the head worm.
This class may be deliberately hidden, and it will not be found if you deliberately look for it, and there is only one way to find this target...... Just let it strike again.
Lynn asked the head worm to ride the wyvern back first, and then let Behemoth float to the surface of the sea, at which time Behemoth released a kind of army, called the 'Shell Spainter', the shell slayer secreted a large amount of mucus, forming a thin shell outside Behemoth's body, which made Behemoth look exactly like the appearance of the head worm's ship, and it happened that Behemoth was also about the same size.
Lynn quickly finished painting the shell in the darkness of the night, and when the day came, Behemoth waited quietly on the surface of the sea......
The sea looked fairly quiet, as if nothing was going to happen...... But under the sea, Lynn could already feel something stirring.
The word "ready to move" seems funny, does it mean that something that is moving is stupid?
However, the creature did have a bit of stupidity, and it didn't realize that it was Behemoth's disguised shell, and it was getting faster and faster in the sea, and then ...... Rushed out of the water!
The powerful impact instantly shattered Behemoth's camouflaged film, and Lynn saw the true face of the attacking thing, which was ...... Praying mantis shrimp?
This mantis shrimp is nearly ten meters long, and Lin seems to have forgotten about this creature, this creature has extremely strong attack power, even if it is not very large, it can also break the boat of the head worm.
And this one is big enough, but Lin didn't find it when she explored it before, is it hiding somewhere? But Lin Ke not only uses eyes to detect, but also uses sound and other methods......
Wait, this mantis shrimp Lin seems to have seen it somewhere...... That's right! When Lynn tracked down the brain of the plague fungus before, there was a crystal of this mantis shrimp guarding the brain...... (To be continued......)
