Chapter 106

 The Chibucha Bugs were small and round. Although they were flying everywhere after the wall was smashed, they did not seem to have suffered any injuries. One by one, they struggled to get up. The shells of the Chibucha Bugs that had smashed into the wall suddenly produced countless small crashing sounds.

The Chibucha bugs had holes at the ends of their forelimbs. They could shoot small crystal spikes through these holes. The sound of the Crushers hitting their shells was caused by the spikes they shot out.

They did not shoot randomly. Instead, they aimed at the eyeballs and joints. Lin had thought of this long ago. Every soldier had a layer of transparent shell on their eyeballs, and the joints were especially hard. They could not be pierced by the Chibucha bugs' small needles.

Boom!

One of the cannoneers' bombs directly hit a group of Kibucha Bugs that were firing in unison. Under the splash of dissolving liquid and the powerful shockwave, countless incomplete bug corpses were blasted everywhere.

Crack! Crack!

The remaining Chibucha bugs screamed the moment they saw their companions being blown to pieces. They all gave up on attacking and quickly fled into the depths of the cave.

But how fast could a group of five-centimeter-long creatures run? Lin wanted to see if they could get out of the bombs' range before they were all killed.

Lin ordered the Crushers to retreat and the bombs to line up in two rows in the cave. They aimed at the Chibucha bugs that kept fleeing into the depths of the cave.

As it was very bright here, Lin did not even use a lantern to aim.

After the first round of firing, dozens of bombs flew past the fleeing Chibucha bugs and exploded in front of them.

"Boom!!"

The explosions roared in unison. The loud sound of the shockwave reverberated in the crystallized cave. Web-Like cracks appeared on the ground and cave walls at the point of explosion. Countless Chibucha bugs died in this round of shooting. None of their corpses were intact.

Lin did not count their numbers, but according to the overall estimate, about 60% of the bugs had died in the previous round. The rest could not move forward because the ground in front of them was covered by a large amount of dissolving liquid splashed out by the bombs.

What? We only ran for 50 meters and so many of them died? This is not fun anymore.

'Crack …!' The remaining Chibucha bugs saw that they could not move forward. They turned around again and stared at Lin's troops.

Lin could feel that these little bugs were in a state of extreme anger.

Lin knew that most creatures had a special structure in their bodies that would produce a corresponding component when the creature's emotions fluctuated. Usually, it was a liquid. For example, when the creature was afraid, angry, or excited, this liquid would activate the creature's blood circulation, heart rate, and many other effects, causing the creature to move faster and become stronger than usual.

However, this liquid came with a price. Overuse would cause the body's cells to become tired. If the nutrients could not keep up, there was even a possibility of death.

However, this liquid was still very useful for a creature to fight, even though Lin didn't create an organ to produce this liquid.

After all, Lin could directly control the acceleration of the cardiovascular system, so there was no need for such a troublesome thing.

Now, the Kibucha Beetles' bodies were producing a large amount of this liquid due to their anger. Their heartbeats accelerated, and their movements were much faster than before. After receiving this temporary boost in strength, they rushed over in unison!

However, no matter how much he improved, a group of five-centimeter creatures could not save the world.

He seemed to have thought of a very interesting sentence …

Boom!

The next moment, the cannoneers fired again. Under the bombardment of the bombs, the charging Kibucha Beetles were instantly enveloped by the shockwave and dissolving liquid. After the shockwave of the explosion subsided, only six Kibucha Beetles were still alive among the dissolving liquid and bug corpses on the ground.

They seemed to be very lucky. They had not been hit by the dissolving liquid, and the place where they stood did not suffer any damage from the shockwave. However, the corpses of their companions around them did not make them happy at all …

How sad.

Crack! A Kibucha Beetle was just about to scream when its chest was pierced by a long needle, and it fell to the ground.

Lin's snipers could not only snipe large creatures, but also small ones. They had a very high hit rate.

Lin killed five of the remaining Kibucha Beetles, leaving one behind. This one was trapped in the dissolving liquid and could not move. Lin released two flyers to capture it.

The Kibucha Beetle also wanted to scream, but before that, Lin put a jellyfish on its head.

This' jellyfish 'was the Brain Reader. Lin had specially created a small version of the Kibucha Beetle to fit its body shape. The previous research on the Eye Beetle had made little progress, and it was too difficult to decipher the information in their thoughts. Lin wanted to try a different target to see if there was any difference.

However, because Lin had never dissected a Kibucha Beetle before, she did not understand its internal structure. When the Brain Reader's nerve tentacles reached in, she accidentally killed it.

It seemed that she had cut the wrong place when she cut the nerve. Forget it.

Lin dissected the Kibucha Beetle's body and continued to advance deeper into the crystal cave.

As Lin moved forward, the whole cave became narrower and narrower. The original width of 50 meters slowly shrunk to about 30 meters, and the surrounding environment also became darker. Only the area where the Kibucha insects were building the wall was particularly bright.

However, Lin had many lanterns, so it did not matter.

The rest of the way was completely dark, and she could only rely on the lanterns for illumination. Lin did not encounter any Kibucha Beetles or lizards until light appeared in front of her again.

That was …

A strong light appeared in front of Lin's team. When Lin's team stepped into the light, the surrounding cave suddenly became spacious. Lin seemed to have seen something incredible and could not help but feel a little surprised.

This was a huge underground cave, about fifty meters high and over two hundred meters wide. In the space here, there were countless crisscrossing tubes made of crystals. Many Kibucha Beetles were crawling in or above the tubes. All the tubes were connected to a huge disc-shaped object made of crystals. Lin estimated that the disc-shaped object was about ten meters in diameter. There were two of them in this cave.

The Kibucha Beetles crawling on the tubes were not as small as they were at the beginning. Lin found that the smallest of them was about five centimeters, while the largest was about thirty centimeters. However, they all looked very similar. They all had the appearance of a beetle and only had four limbs. Most of them were carrying some spherical white objects on their backs. Lin speculated that the objects on their backs should be the 'fungi' that grew on the wood shavings Lin had seen before.

Here, there was a lot of wood on the ground of the cave, and all of it was covered in a layer of furry fungi. Many huge crystal lizards were wandering on the ground. Lin found that most of them were about three meters long, but some of them were especially large and were five meters long. There were probably several hundred of them. As for the Kibucha Beetles, it was unknown how many tens of thousands or even billions of them there were.

It was truly beautiful. Lin never thought that a beetle with a crystal shell would be able to create such a beautiful place. The walls of the cave were shining brightly, illuminating the entire cave, allowing Lin to see everything clearly. This made Lin feel as if she was looking inside … a living being's body.

The discs were like hearts, the tubes were like blood vessels, and the Kibucha Beetles were like cells swimming in the blood vessels. The lizards should be considered as symbionts or immune cells.

It was really amazing. How were they built? The Kibucha Beetles should be quite intelligent creatures. In fact, it could be judged from their previous movements.

However, Lin did not expect them to build such a spectacle.

When Lin first saw this beautiful place and the beautiful creatures formed by the crystals, she had a thought … …

She wanted to blow it to pieces.
