Chapter 54: Decomposition

'Boom! ’

Dazzling flashes of light, exploding in the sky.

Under the flash, the pom-pom flew at a great speed, leaving the explosion far behind, but one of the things bound by the pom-pom fluff also fell......

Is that...... The cone of the crystal lizard.

Earlier, the pom-pom sneaked up on a cone and carried it into the air.

However, the moment he grabbed the cone, all the surrounding cones seemed to scream, flashing light and making strange noises while attacking the pom-pom.

Their attack is a kind of 'spear' that radiates from the tip of a few centimeters, it takes the form of a black spear on the outside, and it is fast enough to inflict a powerful explosion.

'Boom! Another explosion sounded around the pom-pom, and a strong wave of air blew the pom-pom away.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of hurting my companion or what, these warheads never explode after a hit, and usually explode near the pom-pom.

However, the cone that the pom-pom just grabbed has already fallen, so I'm afraid they'll attack with all their might.

Just as Lynn was thinking, several more spears flew in front of the pom-pom......

Just as they were about to hit the pom-pom, the pom-pom sped down at an accelerated pace, and at the same time, a violent explosion erupted behind the pom-pom.

Riding the blast of this explosion, the pom-pom dives downwards at a faster speed, targeting another cone below.

As the pom-pom swept over the ground, the cone was grabbed by the pom-pom and flew into the air again.

If it's blown up, catch another one. There's a lot more around anyway. This thing is about the size of a pom-pom, though. But it is quite light, and the pom-pom is almost not difficult to catch and fly.

The moment the pom-pom flew into the sky, more spears appeared around it, and as long as the pom-pom grabbed it, it was impossible to hide, and it seemed that no matter where they went, they would be able to spot the pom-pom, and then the cone below would launch a crazy attack on the pom-pom.

Dodging the explosion of these spears, the pom-pom flew higher into the air.

Up to now. Lynn only noticed that the cone of the crystal lizards was attacking the pom-poms, as if nothing else was coming, but these attacks were enough to keep the pom-poms from having time to stop and study the mechanisms inside the cone.

As long as they researched it, Lynn would be able to make pompoms that their detection system couldn't find.

But ......'Boom! ’

It seemed that no matter how high they flew, a spear caught up and exploded, and the current of air caused the pom-pom-entangled cone to fly out again.

Looking at the cone falling in the air, the pom-pom had no intention of getting it back, and Lin decided to study the 'inhabitants' inside the cone first, the crystal lizard.

On the fluff of the pom-pom, there is one to be clutched, and this thing is now struggling.

This was just before the explosion. The pom-pom is pulled out of the cone.

The pom-pom quickly went into hiding and flew to the other side...... After the pom-pom flew away. A violent explosion suddenly sounded.

After that, Lynn never saw an explosion again.

Sure enough, they won't be able to spot the pom-poms if they just catch a crystal lizard, but they will be able to determine the position of the pom-poms all the time if they catch the cone.

Anyway, let's look into it first.

Thinking about it, the pom-pom swallowed the struggling crystal lizard, and began to slowly decompose the creature inside.

At the same time, Lin looked down, and after the cone that had just fallen fell to the ground, all the surrounding cones immediately surrounded them, and they kept flashing as if they were communicating.

Then, they all dispersed, and Lynn noticed that they had all put down their previous work and started walking around the streets, as if looking for something.

They may be looking for the lost lizard.

It seems that they care a lot about the appearance of their kind, are they individual creatures? Lin thought it should be a more exotic creature.

However, the crystal lizard is supposed to be a secondary species, and Lynn is currently slowly decomposing the crystal lizard inside the pom-pom.

It's on its body...... It is true that it has an extraordinary defense system, but because in the body of the pom-pom, no matter how strong the defense is, it is meaningless.

However, such troops do resist all kinds of microscopic invasions.

At first, Lin met the 'sea urchins' from before.

These metal-like sea urchins are about the size of normal insect parasites, and they have cracks that gather on the crystal lizard's body, and there are some parts that can be hidden, and although they look like parasites, they can react quickly to damage caused by the crystal lizard.

Even damage that the crystal lizards themselves can't perceive, they can quickly gather over.

Using the tiny tentacles in the pom-pom's body, Lynn snatched up all of the sea urchins and dismantled them individually, revealing that they also seemed to be similar to the Void Bus.

The inside is 'jelly', while the outside is a hard shell.

Their attack method is also very simple, which is to pierce the target, and it has also been found that some sea urchins have the ability to release electricity, and Lin thinks that they should be a division of labor species.

At the same time, Lynn continued to use her tentacles to cut open the wound on the lizard's body, releasing a large number of cells into it.

After entering the wound, the second line of defense of the crystal lizard is activated, and there are a large number of miniature troops in its body, which also look like sea urchins, but are much smaller.

In fact, many fungi and viruses look like this, and in a nutshell it's just a spiky ball, but these are about the same hardness as metal, so they're quite difficult to deal with.

Lynn's method is simpler, and the pompoms have been pumping huge amounts of cells that can explode themselves, and the tiny explosions they produce can blow up these defenses.

At the same time, the troops quickly began to study the surroundings......

In the body of the crystal lizard, these black jellies form a variety of different shapes, which Lin believes are visceral-like structures, and Lin also discovers the 'immune system' that specializes in the production of sea urchin troops.

At the same time, Lynn also discovered an organ in the lizard's body that appeared to be used to break down food, which felt different from the surrounding 'jelly', it was hard, somewhat like a metal sac.

There was a lot of residue inside, and Lynn noticed that the food that the lizard usually ate seemed to be something like metal scraps.

Lynn hadn't discovered where the brain was, but the crystal lizard had a wonderful organ in its body.

From head to tail, it has a vertical hole, and inside it is a black spear that it is able to eject in an instant, inflicting great power...... (To be continued......)
