Chapter 274

"Stupid creature, roar!"

The brainworm and the young Wyvern were in the largest room in the rocky mountain at the edge of the forest. They were doing something strange, and the brainworm called it 'learning'.

Most creatures could inherit the abilities of the creatures that produced them, but Lin discovered that dinosaurs, including the young Wyvern, were different. Some of their abilities needed to be taught by their 'elders'. Otherwise, they wouldn't understand many things, and this was one of the reasons why their brains were bigger.

Since the young Wyvern didn't have any elders, the brainworm had to act as its elder and teach it various things. Of course, the brainworm didn't know how to teach the young Wyvern, but it didn't have a problem.

"Gaa!"

The young Wyvern seemed to understand the brainworm's intention, but this was also related to the brainwave messages it was sending out. The young Wyvern opened its mouth and let out a soft sound.

"Wrong pronunciation. The correct roar can make the aura incomparably strong and even have lethality. It should be like this."

With that, the insect issued a "beep" sound. This was a special sound that it made using its vocal sac. It was as if everything was constantly vibrating.

"Gaa, gaa!" The young Wyvern seemed to be stimulated by the sound, and it displayed a pained expression as it used its forelimbs to cover its auditory organs.

"Understand my teachings and you will have a future." The brainworm's sound lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped. The young Wyvern's auditory organs were finally rested.

However, the brainworm didn't give the young Wyvern any time to rest. It immediately said, "Twist your body and increase your flexibility. Learn. "

Then. The brainworm's body began to bend. Although its body looked fat, it was able to touch its tail with its head. However, this was also related to its lack of a skeleton.

The young Wyvern imitated the brainworm and used its head to bite its tail, but it couldn't reach it. In the end, it chased after its tail in circles.

The young Wyvern spun around for more than 60 rounds before its body swayed and fell to the ground.

"Good behavior, resisting the dizziness." The brainworm gave the young Wyvern a few seconds to rest before it continued, "Start rolling. Do as I said. "

Then, the headworm quickly rolled on the ground, and the young wyvern followed suit.

"Very good, rolling to avoid the enemy. It has a miraculous effect."

The little wyvern seemed to know that the brainworm was praising it. It excitedly ran towards the brainworm and climbed onto its body.

"Foolish creature, look forward. Next, you will learn how to fight in the air. That is the real deal. The future. "

The Brainworm threw the small wyvern on its back to the ground and made it look at the display in front of it.

On the screen was a large group of flyers. There were a hundred of them, and they were flying at high speed in the air. Their mission was to besiege an island that was one kilometer wide and five hundred meters long.

Among the islands that Lin discovered that were infected by the fungus, this island was the largest. The plants on it hadn't completely decayed yet, and there were many thick tree remains. Of course, these tree remains were also very suitable for the fungus to use.

Before the flyers approached the island, the fungi on the island were already prepared. They used a large mushroom structure that was about three meters tall to aim at the sky and used it as an 'anti-air cannon'. They shot out wooden shrapnel through explosions and other methods, using the high-speed sharp shrapnel to shoot down the flyers in the air.

As they approached the island, the flyers began to take off. They rapidly ascended in the night sky, and as soon as they reached an altitude of one kilometer, they would be completely out of the fungus' range and detection range.

Lin discovered the fungus' way of transmitting information. When the fungus on one island was attacked, the other island would know. It turned out that when they were attacked, they would release a large amount of odor, and this odor could be detected by the fungus island as far as ten kilometers away, resulting in a corresponding response.

Lin discovered this phenomenon in many plants on the continent. When a plant was eaten by a herbivorous dinosaur, it would release an odor that would cause the nearby plants to secrete venom.

However, the fungus' odor was more interesting. When it was attacked, it would release a different odor. For example, when it was attacked by fire, it would release a different odor, while when it was attacked by a bacteriophage, it would release a different odor.

This odor transmission method was only recently discovered. When they were first attacked, they didn't do this.

They even knew how to think. For example, when they discovered that the bacteriophages were brought here by the flyers, they knew that they had to shoot down the flyers first.

Lin didn't see any structures similar to eyes on the fungus, but they could indeed 'observe' their surroundings. She didn't know how they 'observe', but it took a long time for them to 'react' from 'observation' to 'reaction', so they needed to know which island was being attacked in advance to prepare their defenses.

Although the method they used … wasn't the best, the fungus had recently developed more defensive methods.

Hundreds of flyers swooped down from the sky. Facing them were a large number of towering mushrooms. When the flyers were about three hundred meters away, the mushrooms' heads began to expand. Following that, a series of loud noises resounded throughout the island. Countless shards of wood shot towards the flyers in the sky.

The flyers instantly changed their movements. They moved their bodies at high speed to dodge the flying shards.

The shards of wood weren't carefully aimed. Instead, they relied on quantity to win, so there were still many flyers who couldn't dodge and were shot down by the shards. The remains of these flyers, along with a large number of bacteriophages in their bodies, fell to the island. This time, the fungus launched a second line of defense.

The surface of the island was not only covered with mycelium but also a kind of hairy, moss-like structure. Lin called it the 'Miasma Carpet'. When the wreckage of the flyer approached, it would release a highly concentrated poisonous gas. This poisonous gas was a violent toxin that could cause the cells to die rapidly after absorbing it. Its main function was similar to a dissolving fluid, which could decompose cells and cause the insides of living things to rot.

When the remains of the flyers fell on the Miasma Carpet, they would quickly be surrounded by a large number of mycelium. The bacteriophages on them would also die from absorbing the miasma.

These scattered bacteriophages were too small to effectively filter the miasma.

Even so, Lin still had the flyers rush towards the island. After the mushrooms of the plague fungus exploded, they couldn't continue shooting. Many of the flyers successfully approached the island. They landed on the ground and curled up before being surrounded by the mycelium. They secreted a layer of crustaceous substance that rapidly hardened and dissolved inside their bodies, rapidly changing their internal structure.
