Chapter 54 Decomposition
'boom! ’
Dazzling flashes exploded in the sky. w-w--o-m.
Under the flash, the pom-pom flew at an extremely fast speed, leaving the explosion far behind, but one of the things bound by the pom-pom fluff also fell...
That's... the cone of the crystal zard.
Earlier, the pom-pom sneaked up on a cone and carried it into the air.
But at the moment of grabbing the cone, all the surrounding cones seemed to scream suddenly, flashing light and making strange noises, and at the same time attacking the pom-pom.
Their attack method is to radiate a 'spear' of several centimeters from the tip. It is shaped like a black spear outside, and it is very fast and can cause a strong explosion.
'boom! ’ Another explosion sounded beside the pom-pom, and the strong air wave blew the pom-pom away.
I don't know if it was for fear of injuring my companions or something, but these warheads never exploded after a hit, and generally exploded near the pom-pom.
However, the cone that the pom-pom grabbed just now has fallen off, and they will probably attack with all their might.
Just as Lin was thinking about it, several spears flew over in front of the pom-pom...
Just as they were about to hit the pom-pom, the pom-pom suddenly accelerated and rushed down, and at the same time, a violent explosion exploded behind the pom-pom.
Riding the blast of air, the pom poms dived down at a faster rate, targeting another cone below.
When the figure of the pom-pom swept across the ground, the cone was also caught by the pom-pom and flew into the sky again.
If it gets blown up, get another one. There are many more around anyway. Although this thing is about the size of a pom-pom. But it is quite light, and the pom-pom has almost no difficulty in grasping and flying.
The moment the pom-pom flew to the sky, more spears appeared around, and as long as the pom-pom was holding it, it was impossible to hide. It seemed that no matter where they went, they could find the pom-pom, and then the cones below would face the pom-pom. The ball launches a frantic attack.
Dodging the blast of these spears, the pom poms flew higher into the air.
so far. Lin only found that the cones of these crystal chameleons were attacking the pom-poms,
It seemed that nothing else came to attack, but these attacks were enough to keep the pom-pom from stopping to study the mechanism inside the cone.
As long as she studies it, Lynn can make pom-poms that their detection systems can't spot.
But... 'Boom! ’
It seemed that no matter how high it flew, spears caught up to it and exploded, and the air flow sent the cone entangled in the pom-pom flying out again.
Looking at the cone that fell in the air, the pom-pom didn't plan to get it back. Lin decided to first study the 'inhabitants' inside the cone - the crystal chameleons.
On the fluff of the pom-pom, there is one now, and this thing is struggling non-stop now.
This was just before the explosion. The pom-pom was grabbed from the inside of the cone.
The pom-pom quickly went into hiding and flew to the other side...after the pom-pom flew away. A burst of violent explosions suddenly sounded.
After that, Lin never saw the explosion again.
Sure enough, if they just grab a crystal, they won't be able to find the pom-pom, but if they grab the cone, they can always locate the pom-pom.
Anyway, do some research first.
Thinking about it, the pom-pom swallowed the crystal zard that was struggling, and began to slowly decompose the creature inside.
At the same time, Lin looked at the bottom. After the cone that fell just now fell to the ground, all the surrounding cones immediately surrounded them. They seemed to be communicating, and they kept flashing light.
Then, they all dispersed, and Lin noticed that they had all put down their previous jobs and started walking around the streets, as if looking for something.
They may be looking for the lost crystal.
It seems that they are very concerned about the appearance of the same kind, are they individual creatures? Lin felt that it should be a more exotic creature.
However, the crystal chameleon should be an accessory species, and Lin is currently slowly decomposing the crystal chameleon in the pom-pom.
Its body... indeed has an extraordinary defense system, but because in the body of the pom-pom, no matter how strong the defense is, it is meaningless.
However, this kind of unit does resist a variety of micro-invasions.
At first, what Lin met was the previous 'sea urchins'.
These metal-made sea urchins are about the same size as common worm parasites. They gather in the cracks on the crystal chameleon, and there are some hidden parts. Although they look like parasites, they can damage the crystal chameleon. Respond quickly.
Even the damage that the crystal zards themselves can't detect, they can quickly gather.
Lin used the tiny tentacles in the pom-pom to grab all these sea urchins, and disassembled them individually. Lin found that they also seemed to have a structure similar to a void bus.
The inside is 'jelly' and the outside is a hard shell.
Their attack method is also very simple, that is, to pierce the target, and it is found that some sea urchins have the ability to release electricity. Lin thinks they should be a division of labor species.
At the same time, Lin continued to use her tentacles to cut wounds on the crystal zard and released a large number of cells into it.
After entering the wound, the crystal zard's second defense was activated, and there were a large number of miniature troops in its body. These things also looked similar to sea urchins, but were much smaller.
In fact, many fungi and viruses grow like this. All in all, it is just a ball full of thorns, but these have a hardness similar to that of metal, so they are quite difficult to deal with.
Lin's method is relatively simple. The pom-pom has been injecting a huge amount of cells that can self-explode here, and the tiny explosions they generate can shatter these defenses.
At the same time, these units quickly researched their surroundings...
In the body of the crystal zard, these black jellies formed a variety of different shapes. Lin believes that these are structures similar to internal organs. Lin also discovered an 'immune system' that specializes in the production of sea urchin troops.
At the same time, Lin also discovered an organ in the crystal that seems to be used to decompose food. This organ feels different from the surrounding 'jelly'. It is hard and somewhat like a metal sac.
And there are a lot of residues inside, and Lin found that the food that the crystal zard usually eats seems to be something like metal scraps.
Lin has not yet discovered where the brain is, but there is a wonderful organ in the crystal.
From its head to its tail, there is a vertical hole, and inside there is a black spear, which can instantly eject the spear to cause great power... (To be continued..)
