Chapter 224: The Swarm
"Woo......"
The mournful sound of the scorpion slowly echoed in the cave......
Many of the scorpions were corpses floating on the surface of the lake, while many more were lying on the shore of the lake, silent and completely silent.
These creatures, after uttering their final screams, have lost consciousness of their own.
They no longer belong to 'themselves' but to the group, and the culprit of this phenomenon is the group of creatures standing on the bank of the river......
Inca swarm.
In fact, the 'unification' of the scorpion has nothing to do with the creator of the sea of clouds, but is a matter of the Inca swarm.
It was only now that Lynn knew about this kind of thing......
The Inca swarm looks very different from what it used to be, not only do they have new classes, but even the old Shadow Monsters have been refurbished a lot, and they look much larger.
Because Shadow Monsters are the only class with developed vocal cords, they are presumably retained.
As for why the Inca swarm is here, Lin still doesn't know very well, but she can basically guess the reason why they unified the scorpion, and it may be just a simple reason.
They may have met the scorpion at some point before, and then they felt that the scorpion was a good group, and wanted to integrate them into the population.
However, this time they use a new method of integration.
In the past, Inca swarms used a fat worm that could extract information, and then gave this information to troops such as the queen, who then hatched it.
This process is very troublesome, and most importantly, the failure rate is also very high, and it is possible to produce individuals such as distortion.
But now if they can directly 'assimilate' the scorpion. Then they can directly join another biological population. If they can do that. That's a lot stronger than it used to be.
And the standing scorpion also felt the danger of being unified, so they came to this place.
I don't know how the scorpions found out, but they know that the 'Creators' have this wonderful orb that contains creatures that can heal them when they are united, so they came here.
At the same time, the scorpion also encountered some sea creatures here, so they wanted to use these creatures to attack.
Sure enough, attacking the sea of clouds before was not the purpose of the scorpion, or that the sea creatures themselves wanted to attack the sea of clouds. The scorpions don't have that idea, but their purpose is barely the same......
When they were finally unified, the scorpion even united with the Emerald Dragon, just to defeat the Silver Armor Dragon faster and let them come to this mountain.
Unfortunately, although they almost succeeded, they did not expect the Inca swarm to wait here.
The ball created by the creator of the zào, and the creatures inside...... Lynn could call it a 'disintegrator', something that would be a threat to the division of species.
This 'disintegrator' is unlikely to have an impact on the Inca swarm, and it is one of the reasons why it is unfinished. But as soon as it appeared, the Inca swarm would surely see it as a threat. That's why they shatter it.
Now the scorpions had no mind of their own, and they lay motionless around the Shadow Monsters and the giant beetles.
Lin wasn't sure if they had joined the Inca, but it was absolutely impossible for them to be unified, and the scorpions were no longer able to move on their own.
The whole thing should be like this, there must be a lot of problems in it, but Lin thinks that it must be caused by the Inca swarm, which has not stopped developing at all during this period, but has become stronger and stronger.
The previous method of extracting information has also become this kind of highly advanced method of directly absorbing other races......
Lynn doesn't exactly know how much progress they've made, but the Inca swarm is a species to be taken seriously, or 'dangerous'......
However, not all standing scorpions have been affected.
Outside of this cave, Lin also left some eyeballs to observe the situation outside, and the Scorpion Lord at the entrance of the cave was looking at the inside of the cave very anxiously.
Obviously, it is not controlled by 'unification', is it because its form is too special? Or is it just too far from here?
Lynn felt the need to investigate it somewhat.
An eyeball slowly drifted behind the Scorpion Lord, sticking to its shell, and then the eye slowly began to change form......
At the same time, Lin also had a few pompoms stick to the unified scorpions, and began to investigate them as well.
Could it be that the reason?
After investigating, Lynn felt that the Inca swarm was probably using a parasite to affect the scorpion, in fact, Lynn had never seen it before, but now she finally knew why.
These parasites are very small, probably a little larger than amoebae, but they gather in large numbers on the nerve centers of the scorpions, and slowly affect their behavior, they will change the mental structure of the scorpions, and slowly erode the nerve centers of the scorpions, allowing them to regain their original mental state when they were unified......
At the same time, these parasitic scorpions release large amounts of pheromones, which affect the surrounding scorpions, even if some other scorpions are not infected......
Standing scorpions are originally unified creatures, so they themselves have this pheromone.
And the orb, the Disintegrator, releases brain waves that can interfere with the parasite, and if it interferes for a long time, it may kill them, so as to heal the scorpion.
The fact that this disintegrator will also have some effect on the Inca swarm, is uncertain, as the only one has already been blown up by them.
And because the body structure of the Scorpion Lord is almost completely out of the form designed by the original Yate Brain, it will not be affected much, and the structure in its body cannot allow this parasite to parasitize.
Seeing these parasites, Lynn thinks that the Inca swarm may have used some kind of ...... Special approach.
The Inca swarm used to be a parasite and was very similar in form to this one, and Lynn thought that they might have extracted information about their 'ancestors' in a special way, and then used them as a new class to attack.
However, this was only speculation, as it was not known how they had found the previous information, and Lynn remembered that the Inca swarm used to dig up some fossils of fish and other creatures and make them alive.
They may have used a similar method to find information about those 'ancestors'.
If there were ancient parasites, they would indeed be able to absorb creatures of other races more perfectly, and they could slowly transform the absorbed creatures, which was indeed much better than the original way of extracting information.
Now, these classes may have been acquired through the new method of guò, but they have always been very secretive, and they have not done anything very big, nor have they attacked any continents.
So until now, Lynn has not encountered them.
While Lynn was investigating these things, the creatures in the depths of the cave began to move, and the scorpions spread their wings and flew in the direction of the top of the cave, gathering on a cave at the top of the cave.
This cave seems to lead to a deeper place, and the location here is the underground of a huge mountain peak, but I didn't expect there to be so many cave structures.
And the mountain never showed any signs of collapse.
At the same time that the scorpions gathered at the entrance of the cave, there was also movement on the fluorescent water.
I saw a large number of bubbles suddenly appear on the surface of the water, and as the bubbles increased, a huge creature rushed out of the water.
This creature has an alloy color all over its body, and it is the same one that fought with the Scorpion and the Dust Demon before-the Alloy Monster.
Sure enough, they weren't normal creatures, but the Inca Swarm class, but where did they get it? Lynn was intrigued......
In this way, this kind of army has been mixed into the group of the 'Abyss Alliance' for a long time, but the standing scorpion has not found out.
A large number of alloy monsters swam in the water, and although they looked like metal, their buoyancy was quite good, and they quickly swam to the shore of the lake and walked to the shore.
They seem to have been hiding in the water before? They hadn't been spotted when Lynn entered the water, and there were not only alloy monsters, but also rock monsters and some small arthropod creatures.
It seems that the Inca swarm has gathered in large numbers in this place, and these classes are all brand new, and Lynn has never seen these classes before.
What are they trying to do with so many troops?
Lynn remembered something from the past, the Inca swarm had once fought atmospheric creatures on an island.
Do they have anything to do with the creatures of the sea of clouds? Or did you just stumble upon a good base and gather here?
When Lin noticed that the scorpions had burrowed into the cave in the rock wall at the top of the cave, Lin immediately sent a few pompoms flying over and followed them into the cave.
The moment you enter, countless creatures fill the pom-pom's vision.
The interior of this cave is up to 100 meters wide, and both the ground and the rock walls are crawling with dense creatures.
These creatures were of various forms, but the beetle-type ones were the majority, and there were some creatures that Lynn had seen before, the Burst Nails.
But just like the Shadow Monsters, the Burst Armor was much larger than before, and Lynn had never seen any other creature.
It turns out that the Inca swarm has such a large number of troops stored here, and all the creatures of this army are looking in this direction.
Suddenly, they moved, and all the creatures crawled on the rock wall at a uniform speed, and they all rushed towards the cave!
They poured out of their holes and continued to crawl rapidly along the rock walls of the lake's shore, and the scorpions followed them through the air and with the entire swarm.
They seem intent on leaving the place...... And their goal may be in the sky. (To be continued......)
