As the explosions echoed throughout the forest, Lin could hear the painful shrieks of the Sticky Scorpions coming from below. At the same time, many of the Bombers were hit by the sticky balls. However, one or two sticky balls were not enough to stop them from flying. They were still able to maintain their high speed as they rushed towards their targets.
In the forest behind the Inca army, Lin could see the gigantic silhouettes of the Sandblasters. They had dug out a small clearing in the forest and were continuously devouring the soil on the ground, converting it into their large abdomens.
There were 20 of them. Under their combined attack, the cannons on the Hometree wouldn't last long.
Blast them!
The Bomber closest to the Sandblasters aimed their cannons at their targets. Dozens of automatic bombs flew out at high speed. These bombs were able to fly a certain distance with the help of the jet system. They hit two of the Sandblasters' bulging abdomens consecutively. The thin outer skin of the Sandblasters was instantly blasted open. The Sandblasters' innards mixed with the sand and soil inside their bodies gushed out. The 20-meter-long giant Sandblasters collapsed with a loud bang.
Two of them were dealt with, but there were still many more.
Lin had the Bombers line up in a straight line. The Bombers at the front that had fired earlier rose into the air, while the Bombers at the back continued to bombard their targets.
The Bombers at the back fired the same jet bombs. At this time, the Sandblasters reacted. They aimed their abdomens at the bombs flying towards them.
Boom! Along with the sound of an explosion, the sand-spraying worm suddenly spewed out a large amount of sand like a water column. This' sand column 'instantly swept away all the explosive bombs that were flying over. Because of the impact and blockage of the large amount of sand, the explosive bombs could no longer continue flying and fell. They fell into the forest not far from the Sandblasters and exploded three times in succession. The splash of dissolving liquid caused the medium-sized Inca bugs hidden in the forest to scream in agony.
The Sandblasters, on the other hand, were unharmed. They raised their abdomens again and aimed at the Bombers in the air. Under the pressure of their abdomens, a torrential storm of sand poured out!
The Bombers also fired countless bombs at the same time. However, in the sandstorm, these bombs couldn't get close to their targets before they were blown away by the wind. All the bombs were flung into the forest by the strong wind.
Even though Lin had already used up a large amount of the Inca bugs' armor, she didn't expect the Sandblasters to have such a strong anti-air ability. They wouldn't have done this before. Could it be a new ability?
However, the sky had already been covered by the shadows of countless flying creatures. Lin's other aerial force had arrived above the forest.
The Sky Hunters, as predators that could fly, were extremely large in number. Their bombs had limited flight capabilities, so they were bounced off by the sandstorm. However, the Sky Hunters were different. This group of incomparably large troops rushed down like a tsunami towards the sandworms below.
In the face of the endless sky hunters, Lin noticed that the Sandblast Worm had slightly shrunk the nozzle on its abdomen. At the same time, his abdomen suddenly swelled up, and a burst of high temperature burst out. This time, the Sandblast Worm didn't spit out sand, but a dazzling pillar of fire!
The skin of the Sky Hunters that were hit by the pillar of fire instantly melted due to the high temperature. Then, their entire bodies collapsed under the high temperature. They did not even stay in the flames for half a second before they turned into dust …
The Sandblast Worms twisted their abdomens and used the pillar of fire to sweep away all the Sky Hunters in the air. As the flames swept past, the ashes of the creatures fell like rain, dying the fern forest below with a layer of burnt grey skin.
The temperature of the pillar of fire was extremely high. It wasn't at a level that ordinary fire-resistant skin could withstand. It even made the entire area hot.
At this time, Lin saw some smaller red beetles lying beside the nozzle on the Sandblast Worm's abdomen through some of the Sky Hunters that were closer to her. They were constantly spraying liquid into the nozzle.
It was probably these bugs that turned the Sandblast Worm's sand into a pillar of fire. They had to be dealt with first.
All the Sky Hunters began to retreat. They rose to a height where the pillar of fire could not reach. The Sandblast Worms saw this and stopped spraying. The heat wave that filled the air began to ease.
Now is the time!
A few small warheads swept through the forest and accurately hit the heads of the red beetles at the nozzle on the Sandblast Worms' abdomen. The warheads instantly pierced through their heads.
There were snipers in Lin's army as well. They were not in the air force but on the Hometree. The Sky Hunters had placed some snipers along with the cannons. They shot out a type of warhead that could fly automatically. Even if they were far away, they could still hit their targets.
The moment the red beetles were killed, all the Sky Hunters once again charged at the Sandblast Worms! This time, the Sandblast Worms could no longer spray pillars of fire. Although the strong sandstorm could blow away individual Sky Hunters, when they charged in a group, their weight was far beyond what the sandstorm could bear. Thousands of Sky Hunters instantly drowned the Sandblast Worms.
Even though the sandworm's skin was quite flexible, it wasn't that hard. The claws of the aerial hunters were able to cut through their skin, causing their blood and organs to gush out. The Inca army's artillery had been completely wiped out by Lin.
On the other hand, the scene on the ground was completely different. More than a dozen Earth Breakers continued to push forward, and the ground cracked with their footsteps. Countless boulders and trees were uprooted by their gigantic jaws and tossed at Lin's troops, crushing a large number of cannoneers.
Although they had endless strength, their speed was still lacking. Thus, under the Earth Breakers' feet, the Inca army also had a large number of medium-sized units to support them. These strange looking units had six pairs of appendages but only used the last pair to support their bodies. This allowed them to stand upright. When they stood upright, they could reach up to two meters tall. At the same time, the other two pairs of appendages were in the form of scythes. This was a brand new unit that Lin called the 'Executioners'.
The Executioners were responsible for chasing after the Earth Breakers and using the scythes on their forelimbs to cut them into pieces.
Lin's cannoneers kept retreating. Although they were faster than the Earth Shatterer, the Executioners were still able to catch up to them. With the cannoneers suffering heavy casualties, the land around the Hometree was now the battlefield of the Inca insects.
These new Earth Breakers were very difficult to deal with. They were practically unstoppable in the forest. They even gathered around the Hometree and used their large jaws to knock down the cannons and Hunters from above and stomped them into meat paste.
But now that the air was Lin's territory, how were they going to deal with Lin's aerial assault? Floating astronomy.
