Vol 4 Chapter 23: Devouring

The troops from the airdrops have a large number of phage, and in order to protect them, Lynn has joined many predators as combat units.

Because I don’t know what kind of counterattack method Chibucha will take, these troops are the first test force, one hundred predators are defending near the phage, and the phage are beginning to swallow the fungus quickly. The hyphae on the ground begins, because the fungi here are not contagious. The phoptic person has to do it by rolling them into the body and then phagocytizing and decomposing. There is no need to deal with the fungal solution, so the fungus here is easier to deal with than the outside.

Lynn cast a lot of phage, they will merge together during the expansion, become a whole, and now they cover a range of about ten meters, Lin let them continue to grow outward in a round way, to devour The whole island.

If they don't spread to the outer island to release the pompoms, Lin will not attack them. At most, they will only let some units observe here, but they continue to spread here, which will be a threat to the surrounding islands and even the creatures in the mainland. So you have to deal with them.

I was going to observe it for a while, but Lin now feels that it is not necessary. The habits of these creatures are unlikely to be changed, and the Chibucha insects living here...they do live on fungi, their digestive system except plague Fungi, the only fungus that can't digest anything else, is a species that is heavily dependent on plague fungi.

So it is possible that they will be destroyed together with the fungus, although not necessarily, but at least wait for Lin to kill most of the island's fungi and say good. Wait a little longer. Their pompons may infect more islands.

But the island is quite big. I am afraid it will not be so easy, and there seems to be a lot of secrets on the island.

Behemoth waited after flying back to the beach after the airdrop, and in order to prevent it, the flagship must be in a convenient retreat.

Now, just wait to see what the counter will be.

The phage devours the hyphae on the ground. They are like a blue gelatinous ocean. They extend on the way and reach out to the huge mushroom trees. The phage slowly surrounds the stems of the mushrooms by the amoeba-like body. Rod. Then the whole stem is corroded and ulcerated, and the mushroom tree with broken stems crashes into the ocean formed by the phage, and is slowly swallowed up...

The predator patrols around the phage, and occasionally a nutrient ball appears on the surface of the phage. This ball can be eaten by the predator. There are individuals like the 'Queen' among the predators, which can produce quite a lot. The small predator, who grows up quickly by eating a nutrient ball, continues to increase the number of predators under the large nutrients obtained after phagocytosis.

just now. The phage has covered a diameter of more than 30 meters.

On the way of Lin's expansion. There are always some small sounds in the surrounding jungle, and the Chibbugs are hidden in the surrounding jungle, but they dare not show up to attack.

If this is the case, then wait slowly.

As time passed, and the night began to shine, the creatures around the jungle, such as the fluorescent jellyfish, hid, and the odd cloths were also, they did not seem to act in the day.

Nalin’s movements are much more convenient, the phage is getting bigger and bigger, and the speed of its growth is also increasing because of the huge amount of nutrient-folding. If the whole island is swallowed, Lin can be used to make it. A new giant unit... a super-giant unit that should be as huge as an island. In this unit, Lynn can build his own ecological environment.

'Boom! ’

From the forest suddenly came the footsteps of some creatures.

It seems to be a large creature, and Lin does not remember that there are creatures that can cause such footsteps.

‘咚......咚...’

The sound is getting louder and louder, from the north side of the phage, and Lin lets the surrounding predators gather in which direction, ready to face a possible battle.

‘嘎...’ The two mushroom trees were hit by a force, and a large creature with a length of more than three meters and a length of more than six meters appeared in front of the predator group.

What is this……

This creature moves with a thick four-legged foot, but Lin sees it as any creature, its body is covered with purple, and it doesn't look like a biological skin, but it is like a thick hyphal structure on its back. There are a lot of cysts on the head. The creature has no mouth on its head, but has two pairs of yellow eyes.

This is an animal that looks like a fungal polymer, but is it really an animal? Can plague fungi actually combine this structure? It seems unlikely that Lin feels there should be other reasons.

Of course, it is necessary to understand after the decomposition, and this creature is now called ‘fungi monster’.

"Oh..." The fungus blame a strange sound, as if it were a bubble in the water. It is also getting faster and faster under this sound. Lin’s predator also rushed to the monster at the same time. .

The fungus blame suddenly lifted the upper body and stood on only the legs. It slammed with the vacant forelimbs and continually flew several hunters who jumped to the front. This force seemed to be large enough to interrupt. The limbs of the predator.

The predators at the rear immediately dispersed, and they completely surrounded the fungus.

These predators still retain their previous abilities...the flames.

'call! ’

The predators spurted a fiery fire on the fungus, and the flame began to spread along the fungus structure on it. The fungus groaned with a burst of "squeaky" sound, and Lin found that the creature had no emotions. It’s just plain calling.

As the flame burned, the outer structure of the monster was disintegrated by the high temperature, revealing the inside.

The inside is not a fungus. It looks like an animal but is peeled off. The structure of the muscles is burning in the flames, giving off a barbecue-like aroma.

Then the muscle structure of the outer layer slowly burned off, then the internal organs, and finally the whole body burned only a skeleton.

The structure of this creature has obviously been modified. The general creatures will burn again. The meat will not fall off easily. It may have been a large reptile, but it has been infected by fungi.

The fungus blame is dead, the flame is slowly extinguished, but it leaves more mystery...

These fungi... seem to have completely transformed a creature, not just a brain. (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
