Sanders set his sights inside the transparent observation box.
A greenish-green viscous liquid creature that looks like snot is swaying slowly. Around the transparent observation box, some Axor blood is scattered, and the snot monster is running happily towards the food.
However, when the snot monster was halfway running, a thin layer of white frost suddenly appeared on the wall of the observation box.
The temperature of the observation box began to drop rapidly.
The snot monster immediately stopped its fluttering steps, and its body gradually changed. The originally grainy skin became smooth, and there was a strange energy inside, causing its body to slowly expand, and finally turned into a circle.
ball.
Like turquoise marbles.
"This is its response to the cold." Angel said as he withdrew the cold air from his fingertips. The temperature in the observation box gradually rose. The snot monster did not change its form immediately, but waited until the frost and fog in the observation box
After disappearing, it returns to its "lump" shape.
The snot monster continued to crawl towards the location of the essence and blood. At this time, a yellow and black poisonous bee was put into the observation box.
As soon as the snot monster felt the fluctuation of its wings in the air, its body bloomed like a flower, forming a sea urchin-like shape. Every protruding thorn on the skin was slender and sharp, and the "needle-head" hair had weird colors.
Green, as if coated with venom.
"This is a state of alert against enemy insects." After Angel finished speaking, he took the poisonous bee away from the observation box.
Immediately afterwards, Angel conducted several experiments in succession, including heat, drowning, strong wind... physical shock and energy shock, etc.
Basically, the snot monster takes on different forms in different situations.
"Based on the current crisis, after it changes form, it can minimize the damage caused to it by the outside world. It is judged that it should be a self-protection mechanism." Angel mused: "This is more in line with the characteristics of the soft shape-shifting insect.
Habits, but if you want to define it as a metamorphic soft insect, there may be some shortcomings."
After observing carefully, Sanders pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand and tapped the observation box gently.
A large number of illusion nodes immediately appeared inside the observation box, and an insect-eating beast with purple skin fell from the sky, exuding a terrifying aura.
The snot monster was startled and immediately changed.
Just like the poisonous bee before, it turned into a green sea urchin.
As the scent of the insectivore became stronger and closer, the snot monster began to slowly retreat. At this time, a poisonous bee flew into the observation box with a buzzing sound.
The insectivorous beast stretched out its long pink tongue and directly rolled the poisonous bee into its belly.
With the clicking sound of chewing, the breath of the poisonous bee completely disappeared.
This scene startled the snot monster.
Angel didn't understand what Sanders wanted to do at first, because this stress test against the enemy had been done before, so he didn't know why he had to do it again?
Just when Angel was confused, the insect-eating beast stretched out its long tongue and attacked the snot monster. After a few bangs, several cracks appeared on the wall of the observation box, all caused by the insect-eating beast's tongue attack.
.
The snot monster showed amazing speed at this time, its body was like a ball, spinning quickly to avoid it.
However, the observation box itself is not big. Even if the snot monster can avoid the attack of the insectivorous beast, it will eventually fall into the belly of the insectivorous beast if it cannot escape.
Seeing the snot monster's form getting worse and worse, Angel suddenly felt a flash of light in front of his eyes.
But the sea urchin transformed into the snot monster flew out the "needle" on its body, aiming at the snot monster's tongue and eyes. At the same time, the snot monster transformed into a silver-black cone-like thorn, and its entire body expanded at least three times.
, stabbed violently at the crack caused by the insectivorous beast in the observation box.
Apparently, the snot monster wanted to use the crack to make a hole to escape.
However, the snot monster tried its best and failed to break the observation box.
Seeing this scene, Sanders lightly snapped his fingers.
The insectivorous beast itself is made of illusion, so it disappears with the fluctuation of the sound illusion. Also disappearing at the same time is the stinking saliva left by the insectivorous beast in the observation box, as well as the cracks on the wall... These are all illusions.
Precisely because the crack is an illusion, it is impossible for the snot monster to use it to dig holes.
Although Sanders canceled the illusion, he took out the "flying needle" left on the insect-eating beast.
He observed it carefully and then handed it to Angel: "See for yourself."
Angel took the flying needle. Although when he saw the flying needle before, as an alchemist, he had already made a judgment in his mind. But when he actually held the actual object, he still felt a little surprised.
Hard, cold, and exuding a metallic luster under the light source.
However, it is said to be metal, but it is not, because there are obviously traces of biological tissue inside the flying needle. But it is said to be part of a slug, Angel really didn't see it.
Rather, it is very much like an intermediate product made from living things.
"This is different from the thorns it initially showed. When it felt a strong fatal threat, it changed some properties of its skin in order to survive." Sanders: "This is more in line with the soft amoeba.
Characteristics."
"And, look at the shape it just transformed into an awl, you should be able to feel that unique energy fluctuation."
Angel nodded: "Its surface has a slight fluctuation similar to the nature of space."
"Yes, this special spatial fluctuation is also one of the characteristics of the soft shapeshifting bug." Sanders: "These two unique characteristics are consistent with the elements of the soft shapeshifting bug. Therefore, it is basically certain that it
It’s a shape-shifting soft insect.”
"As for why its shape is different from other soft deformed insects, it looks very...weird." Sanders choked on the word 'disgusting', paused for a moment and said: "Perhaps, it is also a self-protection mechanism."
Just as Angel said to Bobota before, the shape-shifting soft bug itself can deform at will. Who can accurately describe its true shape?
"If you really feel uneasy, you can ask Kimberly or Isabel. In their era, the soft shape-shifting insects were not extinct yet. They might know something." Sanders suggested.
Although Sanders himself has used Deformed Soft Worms, there were very few Deformed Soft Worms in the era when he began to rise. His experience in this area is less than that of Kimberly and Isabel, who have lived longer than him.
.
Angel nodded, just in case, he decided to confirm again.
When Angel was led by the cyborg to find Mrs. Kimberly, she was facing a lot of information documents. Her brows were furrowed. The magical forest between her hair was filled with haze and mist, and phantoms were hiding in it.
At home, I dare not poke my head out.
In addition to Mrs. Kimberly, there was another person in the room. To be precise, it was a soul.
Moriya.
After hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Mrs. Kimberly and Moriya both looked over.
Mrs. Kimberly put down her pen and looked at Angel: "Why are you here? I heard from Natasha that you have been at the testing site for a week, why don't you stay for a while longer?"
Mrs. Kimberly's words were devoid of any emotion, and Angel didn't know if she was sincerely suggesting it or if she was being sarcastic.
But thinking about what Sanders said before, that Kimberly had been bothered by summons from various stations for several days because of her own affairs, Angel took the initiative to apologize first.
Mrs. Kimberly was stunned for a moment: "What are you talking about such a trivial matter? I don't worry about it."
On the other side, Moriya chuckled: "Kimberly really wants you to stay a little longer. Many people have proposed to restart the test site these days, but she has postponed it because you are there. Now you
When she comes out, she has no excuse."
Everything is waiting to be done, which means that everything must be restarted, and the testing ground is naturally one of them. Mrs. Kimberly is very enthusiastic about alchemy, but when it comes to dealing with the entire affairs of Castle Black, she can push as much as she can, and she can push as much as she can.
lazy.
Angel hesitated for a moment: "How about I go in and stay for two more days?"
"The test site is like a prison." Kimberly waved her hand: "Forget it, just come out. The mess here has to be dealt with anyway."
Angel thought back to the huge scale of the testing ground, and the magic materials piled up as if they were free... If this was considered a mess, then he had nothing to say.
"Let's get down to business. It won't be okay if you come over, right?" Kimberly looked at Angel.
Angel made his intention clear.
After listening to this, Kimberly murmured in a low voice: "I seem to have heard that all the soft shape-shifting insects in the wizarding world in the Southern Region have become extinct. I didn't expect you could still get them... I haven't seen many soft shape-shifting insects, but
Moriya seemed to have been an auctioneer for a period of time thousands of years ago. She should have seen a lot of shape-shifting soft insects. You can take them out and have a look."
Angel put out the observation box and recounted the previous experiments.
After Kimberly read it, she did not make a judgment. However, after looking at it for a while, Moriya nodded without hesitation: "It is indeed a shape-shifting soft insect, and it may be the best type among the shape-changing soft insects.
"
It's hard to find exactly the same things in the world, there are differences after all. The same goes for soft shapeshifting insects.
According to Moliya's explanation, the categories of soft deformed insects are actually divided into good and bad. However, the concept of good and bad is vague, and it all depends on the reference object.
For wizards, the greatest use of shape-shifting soft bugs is in the art of transformation. Therefore, the quality of the shape-changing soft bugs is determined by the technique of transformation.
Transfiguration is a magic trick that can change the physical appearance. Its introduction is: it can be as small as a mosquito or as big as a Titan.
However, this introduction is just a figure of speech. In fact, there are not many people who can actually use the transformation technique to become as small as a mosquito and as big as a Titan.
The transformation techniques used by most wizards can basically only reduce the size to the size of the Kulakuka tribe, and the size can be at most three to five times larger than that of normal humans.
But there are also transformation techniques that are smaller than a mosquito and as dust; larger than a Titan and comparable to a mountain. However, very few reach this level.
There are two factors that determine the upper limit of transformation.
The first is the energy foundation. The second is the quality of the soft deformed insect.
