Chapter 199

 Boom!!!

The moment the 300-meter-tall Hometree hit the ground, Lin felt as if everything around her was flying. The entire world seemed to be trembling, but this was only the beginning.

Two of the Hometrees had already fallen. Without their support, the ceiling of the cave kept rumbling. Huge cracks of a few meters to a dozen meters wide continued to spread. Countless boulders and luminous creatures fell from the ceiling. The collapse had begun.

The creatures in the forest ran out in a frenzy. Some of them ran to the south, while others ran to the north. Many of them were smashed into meat paste by the boulders on the ceiling before they could even run a few steps.

Even the creatures that were originally hunters and prey seemed to be united at this moment. They gathered together without pushing each other and ran to a place that was not affected by the earthquake.

This was a rare sight. If it was a normal earthquake, other than the creatures that could not move, the rest would have run away at least a day ago. After all, earthquakes were very predictable. However, the abnormality caused by these creatures was very sudden. In this situation, they could only run away in a hurry.

This reminded Lin of the scene at the bottom of the sea. Different creatures gathered together and ran to a place of safety …

Without the support of the Hometree, huge rocks kept falling from the top of the cave. The cracks had already spread to the surrounding third and fourth Hometree. These infected and fragile trees let out strange creaking sounds in unison. At the same time, the entire tree began to tilt.

After all, this was not the same as the collapse of all the Hometrees at once. Instead, it spread slowly from one point, so Lin still had some time to observe. But now, it seemed. It was time for Lin to leave.

Lin's army turned around and retreated. None of Lin's soldiers were slow. Lin hesitated. Should she continue attacking the Incan swarm? No, she should leave first.

Lin's army moved towards the north. The Predators ran at the back of the army to observe the situation, while the other large units carried the smaller units and quickly moved forward. They shuttled through the forest at high speed, leaving the collapsing area far behind them.

Lin knew that the collapse would spread faster and faster. So, she had to reach the safe zone first. The nearest safe zone was …

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud sound came from the front. A Hometree in front of Lin's army suddenly broke and fell in the direction of the army!

Lin's army immediately spread out to the sides and avoided the falling tree in time.

This was not normal.

Countless bright red figures flew across the sky. Those were the exploding shells of the Inca beetles. They were crashing into the Home Trees near Lin's army. Under the loud explosions, the huge Home Trees collapsed one by one.

In this moment of crisis, the Inca insects seemed to have found an opportunity to destroy Lin's army.

This seemed to be called … 'hitting a man when he is down', right?

In that case. In that case, Lin decided not to escape.

Lin's army had all turned around and was now under the collapsed cavern. They rushed towards the Incan swarm's territory!

In the sky above the army, Lin released a new type of aerial unit, the 'Scanner'. It had the ability to detect sound, highly specialized olfactory tentacles, as well as large eyeballs, which allowed it to instantly grasp the situation of the entire area. Lin's Scanner was able to take in all of the collapsing boulders at the top of the cave in an instant. After some calculations, Lin immediately ordered the army to spread out and move to a safe distance to avoid all the fatal boulders.

Lin had the Crushers and Blasters charge at the front, smashing or blasting away all obstacles in their way as they rushed towards their target as fast as they could.

As Lin continued to move forward, several collapsed Home Trees appeared in front of her. Under the collapse of the cavern, even normal Home Trees had been crushed by the collapse of the cavern ceiling. Lin's army quickly circled around these collapsed trees and continued forward. The previous location was right in front of them.

This was the first area to collapse. The cavern ceiling that had lost its support had dropped from its original height of over 300 meters to a few dozen meters. Lin wondered if all the sand from the desert above would rush in if the cavern completely collapsed.

But what was even more unbelievable was that the Home Trees were able to support tons of sand and boulders. However, just like how a spider's web could pull up heavy objects, some creatures were always able to assemble inconceivable structures.

Boom! Suddenly, a large boulder crashed down a few dozen meters in front of Lin's Crushers. Although it didn't hit the Crushers, the round boulder started to roll. It flattened countless ferns and boulders along the way as it moved towards Lin's army at an increasing speed.

Even a round boulder couldn't roll on a flat surface. But why was it rolling? Because Lin saw a large figure behind the boulder.

It was an Earth Splitter!

An Earth Splitter kept pushing boulders towards Lin's army. Countless boulders from the cavern ceiling fell on its body, but it didn't seem to care because of its thick armor. Lin's Crushers had no choice but to open up a path for the rolling boulder monster. But Lin's Blasters aimed at it from above.

A large number of bombs shot out, aiming directly at the Earth Splitter's breathing holes.

Woo!

As the bombs approached, the Earth Splitter's breathing holes suddenly emitted a white mist. The airflow was so strong that it actually deflected the bombs away. The tactic that had been effective a day and a half ago was now ineffective.

Lin couldn't help but admire the speed at which the Inca insects were able to transform their army. They were constantly storing a large amount of cellular information, so they could react to any changes at any time.

But when it came to the speed of transformation, Lin believed that she was the fastest.

The Earth Splitter pushed boulders towards Lin's army. Lin immediately ordered her army to disperse, but a white sphere flew towards the Earth Splitter.

Bam! The white sphere that hit the Earth Splitter exploded. Countless threads shot out from the sphere and stuck tightly to the Earth Splitter's joints. This powerful monster instantly lost its ability to move.

Then, Leviathan's figure appeared in front of the Earth Splitter. Leviathan opened the cannon on its head, and a large number of tiny needle-like flying soldiers rushed out. They quickly rushed towards the Earth Splitter and surrounded its leg joints. They used sharp needles to pierce the joints and released a large amount of red liquid. This liquid quickly destroyed the ligaments of the Earth Splitter's joints. The monster's legs couldn't bear the weight of its body and collapsed to the ground.

Lin called these soldiers' knee terminators'. They could secrete a special liquid that could penetrate the defenses of the joints and destroy the entire joint with poison.

The Earth Splitter collapsed. There was nothing in Lin's way other than the collapsed caverns and boulders.

Lin's army continued to advance as the caverns and boulders collapsed one after another.

Inca insects, come and witness the end of this underground world! Floating astronomy.
