Chapter 52: The Assassin in the Mist
The surroundings were filled with these tiny droplets of water, and they floated in the air, and the extreme density caused them to form a puff of white smoke that enveloped the surrounding area.
This phenomenon seems to be called 'fog' as well.
These droplets may float up in the seawater, and as long as the wind blows, they can carry many small droplets on the surface of the sea, and at the same time, many small bubbles will enter the water.
The accumulation of fog minimizes Lynn's vision, but Lynn thinks that all the water droplets should be collected, and if she lives on land, she needs to protect the water source.
Lynn constructs a class of troops in Leviathan's body, which has a spherical body and many small furry tentacles on the body, which can grab water from the air and store it in the body.
However, when Lin was about to release these troops, she suddenly felt a strange feeling.
What's there...... Moving through the surrounding fog, it was not a scorpion, but something massive, with an unfamiliar smell that it had never seen before, and it moved in a strange way, as if it was moving on the ground with its body, without legs or anything.
This is very similar to the way worms move, and it should be very abrasive to move on land.
New creatures you've never encountered before? I don't know if it's dangerous, but there are so many dead fish here, and the other party shouldn't choose the transporter as the target.
Lynn had the transporters piled up in one piece, motionless, to avoid attracting the attention of the creatures, and to watch their movements carefully.
There are a lot of them, probably more than a dozen, and because of their strange way of moving, it is difficult to estimate their size, but at least they will be much larger than scorpions or something.
The creatures moved in the direction of the fish corpses, and after a while, Lin could feel a special vibration in the air.
It was the feeling of the carapace of the Brondo scorpion being crushed.
What's going on? Are the creatures not eating dead fish, but scorpions?
It's strange not to eat food all over the ground to eat scorpions with stingers that risk injuring themselves? Do they belong to the category that vomit when they eat carrion? In fact, there are quite few such creatures, and in 100 million years Lynn has only seen a handful of fish like that.
Just when Lin was wondering, she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her sense of smell, and the strange smell of these strange creatures suddenly expanded violently, seemingly covering the entire area.
Are they releasing their own scent in large quantities? Why? Interrupt the sense of smell of other creatures? Indeed, this makes it impossible for Lynn to smell their position accurately, only the vibration when they move is difficult to judge, and Lynn is not quite used to judging the direction of the vibration in the air.
Suddenly, Lin felt the vibrations around her accelerate violently, and almost at the same time, one of the transporters on the outskirts of the group was bitten by something and jerked into the fog.
Sharp pain ensued, and the transporter was crushed by the carapace of the force, then torn to pieces by countless sharp teeth, and finally some of the cells that were still alive were swallowed into the creature's body and dissolved to death.
Suddenly, a transporter was bitten by another creature and dragged into the mist.
These creatures are dangerous! It seems that they have no interest in corpses, and they don't know how big they are or how many there are, so it's ...... trouble!
Lin didn't think too much about it, and asked the Leviathan to create several 'feeding pipes', which connected to several nearby transporters, so that the transporters could deliver nutrients to the Leviathan, and Lynn could start to create a large number of troops regardless of consumption.
This class is mainly a modification of the Slayer, they can run like arthropods on land, and their bodies are filled with viruses and venom of the infected, although Lin usually doesn't like to use poison or the like, but in the face of a huge threat, Lin will not hesitate to use them.
The terrestrial killers were only ten centimeters long, and Lin quickly created more than a dozen of them and had them surround the group.
At this moment, there was a vibration from the west side of the group, which was the direction of the attack just now.
Attack!
There are five killers in charge of the west, they immediately open a small hole in the top of their heads, and shoot out the deadly projectiles in their bodies in the direction of vibration, after Lynn's special design, these projectiles are many kinds, including toxins and viruses, etc., and at the front is a bomb filled with dissolved liquid, which is responsible for dissolving the opponent's skin or armor, and the venom and viruses that follow can penetrate the target's body.
However, without being able to see, Lynn has no way of knowing exactly how effective it will be.
Suddenly, a huge figure burst through the mist and entered the field of vision of the Slayers.
The first time Lynn saw the creature, it looked like a giant worm covered in solid armor, with a huge head like a dunklefish, and its carapace grew circles of barb-shaped spikes, apparently the attack of the killer just now did not penetrate its armor.
It opened its spiked mouth, bit down on one of the transporters, and then retreated, disappearing into the mist.
Lynn lost her goal in an instant, and she couldn't even pursue it.
The smell around her was also muffled, and only by the intermittent vibration, Lin couldn't judge the surroundings at all, and she didn't even know how many of them there were.
…… It's dangerous.
Only to escape.
It is impossible to escape into the sea, and now that the sea is still hot, then there is only one direction.
Lynn had the Slayer lie on top of the transporters on the periphery, so that they might eat the Slayer and the Transporter together, so that the Slayer's viruses and toxins could harm them.
Once ready, Lynn picked up the 'attachment legs' on the transporters and ran quickly in the direction of the giant pinnacles it remembered.
The pinnacles are dense, and the heads of these creatures are too big to get through.
At this point, the creatures shook again, and Lin named them 'Mist Worms', which may only be found in the Northern Continent, but now Lin was not in the mood to study them.
A worm burst out from the western side of the transporter group, biting the outermost transporter with great speed and quickly retracting into the mist, but the transporter still had a slayer lying on its stomach.
Shortly after the sensation of the transporter being bitten, Lynn felt a continuous vibration, and it was clear that the worm had been bitten along with the transporter's killer, and now the venom and virus had seeped into its body.
Regardless of whether it is resistant to poison or not, it should not chase it anymore if it suffers, but there is more than this worm around here......
Then there was another raid, as a transporter on the east side of the team was dragged into the fog.
The transporters on the periphery of the team all had Lynn's Slayer lying on it, and when the worms accidentally ate the Slayer, Lin could feel the vibration of their painful struggle.
It was impossible for these painful worms to catch up, but even so, there were still transporters being captured, and Lynn began to think that there were only a few of them, and that they must have miscalculated.
Dozens? Hundreds? It's all possible...... Although Lynn didn't feel that much of the shock, judging from the phenomenon of the transporters constantly being preyed, there were indeed so many.
Lynn didn't stop, it picked up speed and rushed towards its destination, during which time worms kept rushing out of the fog and sneaking up, and the number of transporters kept decreasing......
Ten million years have passed since it left the era of single cells, and Lynn once again feels that its life is threatened.
But Lynn didn't have time to think about it, and another worm burst out of the mist, this time not targeting the transporter, but the Leviathan, which was at the back of the group.
Almost instantly, Lynn had the venom-filled blast ready to shoot out of the spout in the back, hitting the worm's gaping jaw.
The worm that ingested the poison bomb began to twitch constantly, and it twisted its body as if it was in great pain.
Lynn ignored it and continued to flee forward......
