Chapter 56 Rising From the Ground

Lin was a little surprised to see the fungus lord standing up. The assassins had already retreated to a distance of more than ten meters. It seemed that the duration of the neurotoxin was quite short for it. Shaking, it can be seen that the effect of the toxin on it is still...

But every time it takes a step, the underground space vibrates with a 'boom'. Lin is sure that this is not made by the fungus lord. Although the timing is very good, it is the sound of some other large-scale biological activity.

The head of the plague...

The fungus lord is indeed able to command these creatures.

The huge heads here are also swaying with the shaking, but Lin obviously noticed that there are a few heads that don't move, and they don't lie on the ground like other heads, but... stand up.

'Ka...' Accompanied by a series of shocks, large cracks appeared around the heads, and the cracks continued to expand, as if they were about to collapse the entire area.

Could it be that... the bodies of these plague leaders are underground?

The vibration became more and more intense. With the expansion of the crack, Lin felt that the area seemed to be tilted. Those huge heads slowly rose from the ground, and the unfinished works around them rolled around like balls. Go, the head of a plague head rolled in the direction of the fungus lord, and it was hit by this head on the left abdomen before it fully recovered. This head may weigh more than ten tons, and it is powerful. The impact caused it to spurt a stream of blood from the air. But it clung to the ground so tightly that it didn't get headbutted.

But at this moment, another head from another. It hit hard on the right side of the fungus lord's abdomen. Under the squeeze of two forces. The fungus lord's abdomen was instantly crushed, and the fragments of internal organs mixed with plasma sprayed out from its mouth and tail, and it itself was motionless.

Is that how he died? Generally speaking, arthropods can live for a long time if their abdomen explodes, but the fungus lord may die so quickly because his nerves are too sensitive and the pain he receives is too severe...

Although the fungus lord died quite quickly, the surrounding vibrations still did not stop, and the assassins scattered in the cave. Avoiding the heads that rolled around because of the raised ground, now the raised heads have exposed their necks, but their bodies are more than 50 meters high, can they stand up here completely? The head of the plague only has two legs, so it should be impossible to stand up on land...

But they are indeed continuing to rise now, as if something is pushing them underground...

Then you must act quickly, there are still twenty assassins left, Lin asked three of them to check the body of the fungus lord, and the other seventeen to attack one of the plague heads,

They dodge the rolling heads. They ran to the neck of the head of the plague, and then they secreted a solution at the tip of their claws. Attempts to cut open the hard shell of its neck.

This shell... seems to be quite hard, and it is also mixed with many kinds of exoskeletons. The assassins tried to use all kinds of solutions that they can secrete. Only one of them can cause corrosion, but the effect is not very good. In this case, Lin gathered them together and continuously used the solution and claws to attack an area with concentrated force.

The other three assassins quickly injected small units from the fungus lord's head to observe its brain... Lin found that the creature's brain didn't seem to be very large, and the specific gravity value might be at the level of 0.8%, which is higher than that of the skeleton dragon or Ancient squid 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 tentacles on its head can also release electrical signals, which can transmit It's quite a long distance, maybe even the head worms can accept it... However, Lin can't confirm that it is used to command troops.

'Boom...' The shaking continued, the heads of those plague heads had touched the roof of the cave, and their shoulders were exposed from the ground, and the assassins were still trying to dig out one of the plague heads. The carapaces on the neck, at least one of them must be killed before they come out.

Accompanied by the assassin's 'digging', the soft structure of the head and neck of the plague finally appeared before Lin's eyes. The structure inside was surprisingly similar to Lin's imagination. It was indeed made of a large group of infected fungus monsters, They are joined together by fungal hyphae, forming this neck...

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

I don't know if other parts have a similar structure, or is it only the neck?

No matter how many, the Assassins began to attack the soft structure exposed by the Plague Head. They tore the hyphae and creatures, and at the same time injected many tiny soldiers into it to observe the deeper structure of the Plague Head.

Under the attacks of the assassins, the soft structure of the neck was cut bit by bit, the hyphae used for connection were also corroded by the solution, and the biological combination of the neck similar to the muscle structure was completely destroyed by the assassins. It couldn't support the weight of the head above it, so it broke from the middle, and the head also fell down, hitting the ground with a 'boom'.

The head of the plague attacked by Lin has stopped moving, but the others are still rising. Their heads hit a lot of cracks on the roof of the cave, and they are still squeezing upwards. This cave... It's about to collapse!

When Lin thought this way, the crack on the roof of the cave spread to the entire cave in an instant. Under the burst of loud noise, countless mud and stones began to collapse, and the countless mud and rocks killed Lin's assassin and here in a few seconds. Everything is completely buried.

Lin's field of vision is now in darkness... But the vibration still hasn't stopped. Lin uses some assassins who are still outside to observe the situation on the ground. Now even the island has started to vibrate continuously, and even spread to the entire island... …

The structure of the underground cave is very fragile, and Lin suspects that it may be specially designed for the head of the plague to come out.

'boom! ’Suddenly the ground shook violently, and a large number of cracks began to spread from the open space to the surroundings. With the increasingly intense vibrations, the head of a plague head protruded from the cracked ground!

"Woo..." It let out a low sound that resounded throughout the island, and the surrounding ground continued to crumble with its appearance. The cracks had already extended beyond the open space, and those tall mushroom trees were also shaken three times in a row. crashed.

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

After the head of the plague head sticks out, the next is the neck and the body. It is getting higher and higher above the ground, and it feels like there is indeed something pushing it up from the ground... 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 forcefully pulled out its left leg, stepped on the ground, and then forcefully pulled out its right leg from the ground.

With both legs stretched out, this gigantic monster stands high enough to look down on the entire island! The head of the plague is a full sixty meters high, bigger than what Lin has seen before.

However, it is not a good thing to stand up on land. The head of the plague only stood for a few seconds, and its entire body tilted forward. With only two legs, it could not control this tilt at all. It could only Seeing myself getting closer and closer to the ground...

Accompanied by an incomparably loud noise, the Plague Head crashed to the ground. Its huge body crushed countless mushroom trees, and made a huge pit on the island. At the same time, it also hit itself It was rotten, and all kinds of fragments flowed out from around its body along with blood-like liquid...

Lin has known for a long time that this body type is not suitable for standing up on land...

But the shaking didn't stop, and with the bursting of the surface, the heads of two other plague heads rose from the ground.

Shouldn't they be like this one that fell to death? Lin looked at the two heads of the plague, and saw that they stopped moving when their upper body was almost completely out, and then they slowly bent their bodies, let their bodies lie on the ground, and slowly squirmed their legs. Pull it out.

That's it, it seems that they know how to 'learn lessons'.

After the head of the plague moved its legs out of the ground, they began to lie on the ground with their whole bodies, and slowly pushed behind with their legs. Although it seemed clumsy, it was really effective for them way of moving.

But to Lin, it made no difference. The assassins in the air rushed towards the nearest plague head. Lin thought that they would have no chance to climb out of the island.

When the assassins approached, suddenly there were a lot of small holes in the head of the plague head, these small holes suddenly splashed countless liquids, and the assassins who were touched by these liquids began to go crazy The hyphae grew rapidly, and these hyphae wrapped the wings and body of the assassin.

The head structure of this plague leader seems to be different from the previous ones, and he actually prepared this attack method?

The assassins themselves didn't have any special immune units, they couldn't resist the fungus that exploded on their bodies and fell to the ground.

It seems that the assassins alone can't stop them, but Lin's surprise attack is not limited to these troops... and Lin has already killed one of the plague chiefs, and also killed one, and now there are only these two left. It's easy to...

Just when Lin thought so, the ground shook again, and as the ground burst, the heads of several plague heads rose from the soil again. (To be continued..)
