Chapter 24 Flames and Fungi

The brilliance of the flame corresponds to the sunlight in the sky, spreading and burning in the fungal forest.

Countless creatures rushed out from the forest. They were crazy, extremely aggressive, and there were a lot of them. Although most of them were turned into scorched bones under the fire of the predators, they never stopped...

"Goo...!" A fungus monster covered in cysts pounced on a group of predators who were spraying flames. Lin immediately let the predators get out of the way. Above the ground, the amoeba-like body swallowed it like a quagmire, countless tiny troops surrounded this fungus-infected creature, and it would be completely decomposed under the huge amount of solution.

But this is only one of them, and there are more small fungus monsters rushing out of the mushroom forest. They did not flinch in the face of the predator's flame jets, and rushed over with their bodies frantically, as the only ones. means of attack.

The predators are all standing on top of the phage, and they spread out to face any rushing enemy troops. These creatures that pounce will be swallowed by the phage even if they do not burn, and the remaining ones will They were burned to the ground by the predators, but their strong numbers made it impossible for Lin's phages to continue to expand.

Plague fungus, how many creatures have been infected...

On the north side of the Phager, a large group of fungus monsters about one meter long appeared, and they rushed towards this side in groups. Lin immediately gathered the surrounding predators and aimed the flame nozzle at the group biology……

'call! '

Accompanied by the brilliance of the flames, the flesh and blood of these creatures began to peel off and disintegrate, and finally only a skeleton was left to fall into the flames...

Although this scene will trigger the fear of some creatures, for example, the little flying dragon who is now staying in front of the displayer with the brain worm will hide in fright when they see their burned skeletons, but it is really fragrant when burning them, if it In this case, appetite may triumph over fear.

If the brain worm is here, it may want to eat it crazily. If it is infected with fungus, I don't know what will happen. Lin felt that the brainworm might not be under the control of the fungus, or that the fungus could not handle its complex brain structure and cause the death of both parties.

No matter what, the brain worms must not get close to these fungi...

Thinking of this, Lin looked at the flickering flames and those crazy creatures.

Speaking of which, I don't know how many batches of 'fungus monsters' this is.

The plague fungus seems to infect quite a few species, except for the one at the very beginning, which is relatively large. The others are not very big, they are basically similar to predators,

There are many smaller ones.

The 'flame-breathing' predator Lin is using now is about two meters long and less than one meter tall, but it can spray a pillar of fire nearly ten meters long, and the fuel it uses is directly converted and extracted from the phage under it . Lin used this method to deal with the fungus monsters that kept appearing.

Most of the fungus monsters are reptiles, and occasionally some arthropods are mixed in, because their cortex, including their faces, are covered by a large number of fungi, and it is almost impossible to see what kind of creatures they are, and their attack methods are also very simple , is a collision, some creatures with claws or sharp teeth because the claws and mouths are covered with fungus. They can't use it either, they can only bump over, blast the fungus covering themselves, and then release a large amount of miasma.

But before that, they're usually burned out, or devoured by phages.

Lin can't just rely on burning or phages, because the green mycelium that covers the ground contains moisture and cannot be burned. And the phages may be able to swallow the first or second group of fungal monsters rushing, but when they keep rushing, they will be hit by the next group before they are decomposed, which is not good.

Now, it seems that the attack is not so violent, there are only a few sporadic fungus monsters swaying around, and Lin asked some predators to chase them. And the rest dragged back those roasted and scorched ones for the phages to decompose and convert them into nutrients.

Lin usually didn't see any signs of fungal monster activity at all, which meant that they might be hidden in places like the ground. These creatures might not be active at ordinary times, and they would only appear when this fungal island was attacked.

It's not known whether this was done by the kibcha bug or by the fungus itself. But it definitely needs to be investigated.

Now that the surrounding fungus monsters have been solved, the 'queen' at the center of the phages began to produce more predators. The queen is twice the size of a normal predator, and the production speed is very fast. Lin actually wanted to make every Two predators can give birth, but putting a production organ is too obstructive and will seriously affect the combat ability, so we concentrate on one.

The queen gave birth to small predators, which can eat the nutrient balls of phages and grow rapidly. Generally, arthropods need to molt continuously to grow, but the skin of small predators is always soft until they are fully mature. harden.

Relying on this rapid production method, you can directly increase the number of troops in times of war! Predators killed in battle will also be recovered quickly, without any waste.

Lin had thought about enhancing the rebirth ability of the arms before, but this ability is not very good. If you want to grow a forelimb again, you need to eat the same weight of nutrients as the forelimb. It is not easy to grow. There are It is better to put more muscles in the space to put the stored nutrients.

Now, Lin's troops are quickly recovering and devouring them. As the night approached, Lin devoured a large number of fungus monsters - those deliciously roasted remains.

These nutrients were formed by Lin into an army, and Lin planned to use this army to explore the nearby underground. The burrows under the floating pompoms should be the passage to the "old nest" of the plague fungus.

Laowo seems to be a very strange word, does it refer to a very old nest?

Lin first dispatched a hundred predators, they have both sharp claws and flame vents, but if they lose the supplies of the phages, their own fuel will not be able to spray for a few seconds, but anyway, just let them explore first.

Lin found the nearest cave. This kind of cave was bottomless and completely shrouded in darkness. The predators rushed in quickly. They sprinted at the fastest speed, no matter what traps there were, they were completely unafraid.

Because they are used to step on traps.

Unexpectedly, there were no traps inside, and the originally narrow space became bigger and bigger. Lin let some predators shine, and the cave instantly became brighter.

this cave...

What a normal feeling.

Surrounded by rocks and soil, Lin thought that the walls of the cave should be covered with fungi. There are indeed some mycelia on the walls of the cave, but there are not many. The entire cave is vertically downward, and Lin's predators can hook On the wall of the hole, it will not fall down.

Since it is a vertical cave, those fungus monsters may not have climbed up from here, but Lin still wants to see how deep it is.

Lin directly let one of the predators loosen its claws, and fell down from the cave wall. The surrounding scenery passed by both sides of the predator at high speed, and it lasted for several seconds before stopping...

'Snapped'.

The predator landed on soft ground, unharmed.

The predator shone the light down, and found that the ground was indeed covered with mycelium, and there were quite a lot of... Kibcha insects on it.

The moment the predator caught sight of them, this group of kibuchas rushed over! They kept making high-pitched noises, intending to siege predators.

What greeted them was a raging fire.

A group of kibuchas in front of the predators instantly fell into a sea of ​​flames, and the flames burned instantly when they touched the ground covered with hyphae, illuminating the whole area much brighter at once.

"Squeak!" A large group of Kibcha worms jumped up from the ground, and they rushed behind the predator, biting it with their forelimbs and mouths.

At the same time, another group of Chibcha insects came out from the depths of the cave. They all carried a mushroom on their backs. They ran to the flames and threw the mushrooms on their backs into the fire. The mushrooms exploded when they touched the fire. A large burst of liquid can extinguish a large area of ​​​​fire.

That's it, use this method to put out the fire? It feels really different from the plague fungus outside. It seems that the kibbza can't directly tell the fungus to let the fungus secrete mucus to stop the flame?

So if the fire is too big, they can't stop it with this method!

The next moment, all the predators on the rock wall above jumped down, and the moment they landed on the fungal carpet, they sprayed a flame to the surroundings, and the burning spread along the mycelium, and the kibcha insects threw The small mushrooms in the wild couldn't stop the flames from so many predators at all, and in the end they simply dropped the mushrooms and all escaped.

With the brilliance of the flames, Lin discovered that this is a huge cave space, which seems to be quite wide, as if the ground has been hollowed out. Maybe this place is the same as all the other caves under the pompoms. Hunting The big hole the eaters jumped from is just one of them...

Now the light of the flame is slowly dissipating, and the mycelium on the ground is not very wide, but Lin is not going to burn it down so soon, at least do some research first.

The predators gather together and move in one direction of the cave. If they are scattered, they can indeed observe more, but they may be killed one by one.

Lin walked in a random direction. In this huge cave, there were pillars everywhere that seemed to be used for support, and a large number of hyphae surrounded the pillars. Suddenly, Lin found that two pillars were joined together. And there seems to be something between them.

The predators approached the middle of the pillars with light. Both pillars here have a large number of hyphae forming a large spherical structure, and there is a clearly visible creature on this ball...

This, it should be the fungus monster, the fungus seems to wrap these creatures in the ball and it's not just this one...

The predators spread their light towards the surrounding caves, and there were a large number of these balls enclosing creatures everywhere. (to be continued...)
