4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution

318 Rise from the ground

Lin was a little surprised to see the standing fungal lord. The assassins had retreated to a location more than ten meters away. It seemed that the duration of the neurotoxin was quite short for it. However, the body of the fungal lord was still shaking. Shaky, it can be seen that the effect of the toxin on it is still ...

But every time it took a step, the underground space shook violently. Lin was quite sure that it was not made by the fungus lord. Although the time was very good, it was another kind of large-scale biological activity.

The head of the plague ...

The lord of the fungus is indeed able to command these creatures.

The huge heads here also wobbled with shaking, but Lin clearly noticed that some of the heads would not move, and they were not lying on the ground like other heads, but ... stood upright.

'Ka ...' Along with bursts of vibration, large cracks appeared around these skulls, and the cracks continued to expand, as if to collapse the entire area.

Could it be said ... the bodies of these plague heads are underground?

The vibration is getting stronger and stronger, and with the expansion of the crack, Lin feels that this area has been tilted. The huge heads slowly rise from the ground, and the unfinished products around them roll like balls. Go, a head of the plague rolls in the direction of the fungal lord. It has not yet fully resumed its operation. It was suddenly hit by this head on the left abdomen. This head may have a weight of more than ten tons, powerful The impact of it caused it to spray a burst of blood from the air.But it gripped the ground so tightly that it was not hit by the head.

But at this time, another head came from the other. It hit the abdomen on the right side of the fungal lord. Under the squeeze of two forces, the abdomen of the fungal lord was squashed instantly, and the internal organs were broken. A lump of plasma spewed from its mouth and tail, and it was motionless by itself.

Is it so dead?Generally speaking, the abdomen of the arthropod can survive for a long time, but the fungal lord may be because the nerve is too sensitive and the pain is too strong, so he died so fast ...

Although the fungus lord died quite quickly, the surrounding vibrations did not stop. The assassins were scattered in the cave to avoid the heads that were rolling because of the raised ground. Now the rising heads have been exposed Their necks, but their bodies are more than fifty meters high, can they stand up completely here?The head of the plague has only two legs, it should be impossible to stand up on land ...

But they are now rising continuously, as if something is pushing them underground ...

Then you must act quickly, and there are twenty assassins left. Lynn asked three of them to examine the body of the fungal lord, and the other seventeen to attack one of the heads of the plague. They avoided the rolling heads. , Ran to the neck of the plague head, and then they secreted dissolution fluid at the tip of the paw, trying to cut the hard shell of its neck.

This shell ... seems to be quite hard, and it is also mixed with many kinds of shells. The assassin tried to use all kinds of dissolution liquid they can secrete. Only one of them can cause corrosion, but the effect is not very good. In this case, Lynn gathered them together and continually attacked an area with the solution and claws.

The other three assassins quickly injected small arms from the head of the fungus lord to observe its brain ... Lin found that this creature's brain does not seem to be very large, and the specific gravity value may be at a level of 0.8%. Ancient squids are much lower, but higher than common creatures.

It was also found that there are many odor-releasing organs on the back of the fungus lord. It can release a strong and thick odor. This is the odor detected by Lin outside. The antennae on its head can also release electrical signals and can transmit. At a considerable distance, it may be accepted by the head worm ... However, Lin is not sure that it is used to command the troops.

"Boom ..." The shock continues. The heads of the plague heads have already touched the top of the cave, and their shoulders are also exposed from the ground. The assassins are still working hard to dig a plague head. Carapace on the neck, at least one of them must be killed before they come out.

With the assassin's digging, the soft structure of the neck of the plague finally exposed to Lin's eyes. The structure inside was surprisingly similar to Lin's imagination. It was indeed caused by a large group of infected fungus monsters. They are connected by fungal hyphae to form this neck ...

Is it really made up of creatures?And they are arranged in a good position. Most of the creatures inside are some reptiles and worms. They are so 'glued' together, it looks like the neck muscle structure of some creatures, and some of these hyphae Similar to spider silk, it has strong flexibility, but it is still quite different from the real spider silk. Some mycelium resembles a pipe structure and is responsible for feeding nutrients to these creatures.

I don't know if other parts are similar to this structure, or only the neck?

No matter how many, the assassins began to attack the soft structure exposed by the plague head. They tore these hyphae and creatures, and at the same time injected many tiny arms into it to observe the deeper structure of the plague head.

Under the attack of the assassins, the soft structure of the neck was cut bit by bit, and the mycelium used for connection was also corroded by the dissolving solution. The neck biological combination similar to the muscle structure was destroyed by the assassin, It could not support the weight of the upper head and broke from the middle, and the head fell down, hitting the ground with a bang.

The head of the plague attacked by Lynn has stopped still, but several others are still rising, their heads hit a large number of cracks on the top of the cave, and they are still squeezing upwards, this cave ... It is about to collapse!

When Lin thought so, the cracks on the top of the cave spread to the whole cave instantly. Under the loud noises, countless mud and stones began to fall. Everything is completely buried.

Lin ’s vision is now in darkness ... but the vibration still does not stop. Lin observes the situation on the ground with some assassins who are still outside. Now even the island begins to shake continuously, even spreading to the entire island ... …

The structure of the underground cave is very fragile, and Lin suspects that it may have been specially designed for the first plague.

'boom!'Suddenly the ground burst into a sudden, and a large number of cracks began to spread from the open space to the surroundings. With the increasingly strong vibration, the head of a plague head protruded from the burst ground!

"Woo ..." It whispered throughout the island, and the surrounding surface collapsed with its appearance. The cracks had extended beyond the open space, and the tall mushroom trees were also shaken. 'S crash collapsed.

The assassins were also affected on the ground, but they had a special method-spread two pairs of wings from their backs, and flew into the sky to continue observation.

After the head of the plague came out, the next was the neck, the body, it was getting higher and higher on the ground, and it felt that something under the ground was pushing it up ... Finally, it completely lifted the body out, but this Only the upper body, its legs are still in the mud, the head of the plague did not stop, it pulled out his left leg hard, stepped on the ground, and then pulled his right leg from the ground.

When this huge monster stretched out its legs, it stood up high enough to overlook the whole island!The head of this plague is sixty meters tall, larger than Lynn had seen before.

However, standing on the land is not a good thing. The standing of the plague head lasted only a few seconds, and its entire body leaned forward. Only the two legs could not control this tilt, it could only Watching myself getting closer to the ground ...

With the incomparable loud noise, the head of the plague fell to the ground, its massive body crushed countless mushroom trees, and a huge pit was smashed on the island, and it also smashed itself. Rotten, all kinds of debris flowed around its body with blood-like liquid ...

Lin has long known that this type of body is simply not suitable for standing on land ...

But the shaking did not stop, and with the burst of the ground, the heads of two other plague heads rose from the ground.

Would they be the same as this one who died?Lin looked at the heads of the two plagues and saw that they did not move when they rose to the upper body almost completely, and then they slowly bent down, let the body lie on the ground, and then slowly squirmed their legs Pull it out.

It turns out that they seem to know how to "learn a lesson".

After the head of the plague moved their legs out of the ground, they began to lie on the ground with their entire bodies, pushing slowly behind with their legs. Although it seemed awkward, it was really effective for them. Way of moving.

But for Lin, there was no difference. The assassins in the air rushed towards the head of the nearest plague. Lin thought that they had no chance to climb out of the island.

As the assassins approached, suddenly a large number of small holes were added to the head of the plague. These small holes suddenly splashed countless liquids, and the assassins who were stained by these liquids began to go crazy. The ground grows mycelium, which wraps the assassinator's wings and body.

The head structure of this plague leader seems to be different from the previous one. Actually prepared this attack method?

The assassins themselves did not bring any special immune arms, they could not resist the explosion of fungi on their bodies and fell to the ground.

It seems that the assassins alone cannot stop them, but Lin ’s troops attacked more than that ... and the head of the plague has been killed by Lin, and one has been killed. Now there are only two of them, still It's easy ...

Just when Lin thought that, the ground shook again, and as the ground burst, the heads of several plague heads rose again from the mud.
