Section 1502: Metamorphosis of Soft-Bodied Insects

Sanders set his sights on the transparent observation box.

A turquoise viscous liquid creature that looked like snot was slowly moving. Some of Axol's blood was scattered around the transparent observation box, and the snot monster was happily running towards the food.

However, when the snot monster ran halfway, 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 moving, and its body gradually changed. The originally granular skin became smooth, and there was a strange energy inside, which made its body slowly expand and finally turned into a ball.

It was like a turquoise marble.

"This is its stress form to the cold." Angel said while retracting 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 fog in the observation box disappeared before returning to the "lump" shape.

The snot monster continued to crawl towards the location of the blood essence. At this time, a yellow and black poisonous bee was put into the observation box.

As soon as the snot monster sensed the vibration of the wings in the air, its body bloomed like a flower, forming a sea urchin. Each protruding thorn on the epidermis was slender and sharp, and the color of the "needle" was strangely green, as if it was coated with venom.

"This is a state of alert to enemy insects." After Angel finished speaking, he took the poisonous bee out of 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 showed different forms in different situations.

"According to the current crisis, after it changes its form, it can minimize the damage caused to it by the outside world. It is judged to be a self-protection mechanism." Angel pondered: "This is more in line with the habits of deformed soft insects, but it may be insufficient to define it as a deformed soft insect."

After careful observation, Sanders pondered for a moment, reached out and gently tapped the observation box.

A large number of illusion nodes gathered inside the observation box immediately, and a purple-skinned insectivorous beast fell from the sky, exuding a terrifying breath.

The snot monster was startled and changed immediately.

Just like the poisonous bee before, it turned into a green sea urchin.

As the breath of the insectivorous beast became stronger and closer step by step, 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 stomach.

With the sound of chewing, the breath of the poisonous bee completely disappeared.

This scene scared the snot monster.

At first, Angel didn't understand what Sanders wanted to do, because this stress test against the enemy had been done before, and he didn't know why he had to repeat it again?

Just when Angel was puzzled, the insectivore 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 insectivore's tongue attack.

The snot monster showed amazing speed at this time, and its body was like a ball, spinning quickly to avoid.

However, the observation box itself was not big. Even if the snot monster could avoid the insectivore's attack, as long as it couldn't escape, it would eventually fall into the insectivore's stomach.

Seeing that the situation of the snot monster was getting worse and worse, Angel suddenly felt a flash of light in front of his eyes.

But he saw that the sea urchin incarnated by the snot monster flew out the "needle" on his body, aiming at the tongue and eyes of the snot monster. At the same time, the snot monster turned into a silver-black cone-like thorn, and its entire body expanded at least three times, and stabbed violently at the cracks caused by the insectivore on the surface of the observation box before.

Obviously, the snot monster wanted to use the crack to dig a hole to escape.

However, the snot monster tried his best but failed to break the observation box.

Seeing this scene, Sanders lightly snapped his fingers.

The insectivore itself was made of illusion, so it disappeared with the fluctuation of the sound illusion. At the same time, the smelly saliva left by the insectivore in the observation box and the cracks on the wall also disappeared... These were all illusions.

It was also because the cracks were illusions that the snot monster wanted to use them to dig a hole, but it was impossible.

Although Sanders revoked the illusion, he took out the "flying needle" left on the insectivore.

He observed it carefully and then handed it to Angel: "Take a look for yourself."

Angel took the flying needle. Although he had already made a judgment in his heart as an alchemist when he saw the flying needle before, he still felt a little surprised when he really held the real thing.

Hard, cold, and exuding a metallic luster under the light source.

But it is not metal, because there are obviously traces of biological tissue inside the flying needle. But Angel didn't really see that it was part of a slug.

It looks like an intermediate product of biological refining.

"This is different from the thorns it showed at the beginning. When it felt a strong and fatal threat, it changed some properties of its skin in order to survive." Sanders: "This is more in line with the characteristics of a deformed soft worm."

"And, you see it just transformed into a cone shape, you should be able to feel that unique energy fluctuation."

Angel nodded: "Its epidermis has a little bit of fluctuation similar to the spatial property."

"Yes, this special spatial fluctuation is also one of the characteristics of the deformed soft worm." Sanders: "These two unique characteristics are consistent with the elements of the deformed soft worm. Therefore, it can be basically confirmed that it is a deformed soft worm."

"As for why its shape is different from other deformed soft worms, it looks very... weird." Sanders choked on the word "disgusting" and paused for a moment and said: "Perhaps, it is also a self-protection mechanism."

As Angel said to Bobota before, the deformed soft worm itself can be deformed at will, who can accurately describe its true shape?

"If you really feel uneasy, you can ask Kimberly or Isabel. In their era, the deformed soft worm had not yet disappeared, and they might know something." Sanders suggested.

Although Sanders himself has used deformed soft worms, when he began to rise, there were very few deformed soft worms, and his knowledge 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 it again.

When Angel was led by the cyborg to find Mrs. Kimberly, she was facing a pile of documents. Her brows were furrowed, and the magical forest between her hair was filled with haze and fog. The phantoms hid at home and dared not stick their heads out.

In addition to Mrs. Kimberly, there was another person in the room, or to be more precise, a soul.

Moriya.

After hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Mrs. Kimberly and Moriya looked over.

Mrs. Kimberly put down her pen and looked at Angel: "Why are you here? I heard from Natasha that you have been in the test site for a week. Why don't you stay for a while longer?"

Mrs. Kimberly's words were without any emotion, and Angel didn't know whether she was sincerely suggesting or being sarcastic.

But thinking of what Sanders said before, Kimberly had been annoyed by the summons from various stations for several days because of her own affairs, Angel simply took the initiative to apologize first.

Mrs. Kimberly was stunned for a moment: "You are talking about that little thing? I don't take it to heart."

On the other side, Moria chuckled: "Kimberly really hopes that you will stay for a while longer. These days, many people have proposed to restart the test site, and she has postponed it because you are in there. Now that you are out, she has no excuse."

Everything needs to be restarted, which means that everything needs to be restarted, and the test site is naturally one of them. Mrs. Kimberly is very enthusiastic about alchemy, but when it comes to handling the affairs of the entire Black Castle, she can postpone it as much as possible and be lazy as much as possible.

Angel hesitated for a moment: "Or, I will stay in for two more days?"

"Why do you say that the test site is like a prison." Kimberly waved her hand: "Forget it, just come out, anyway, the mess here has to be dealt with."

Angel recalled the huge scale of the test site, the pile of magic materials like they were free... If this is considered a mess, then he has nothing to say.

"Let's talk about business, it shouldn't be okay for you to come here, right?" Kimberly looked at Angel.

Angell made his intention clear.

After listening, Kimberly muttered in a low voice: "I seem to have heard that the shapeshifting soft worms in the wizard world of the Southern Territory have all disappeared. I didn't expect you could still get one... I haven't seen many shapeshifting soft worms, but Moria seemed to have been an auctioneer for a period of time a thousand years ago. She should have seen a lot of shapeshifting soft worms. Take it out and have a look."

Angel put out the observation box and recounted the previous experiments.

After reading it, Kimberly didn't make a judgment. However, Moria looked at it for a while, and nodded without hesitation: "It is indeed a shapeshifting soft worm, and it may be the best type of shapeshifting soft worm."

It is difficult to find exactly the same thing in the world, and there are differences after all. The same is true for shapeshifting soft worms.

According to Moria's explanation, the types of shapeshifting soft worms are actually divided into good and bad. However, the definition of good and bad is itself a vague concept, and it all depends on the reference object.

For wizards, the biggest use of shapeshifting soft worms is for transformation. Therefore, the quality of the soft-bodied insects is determined by the Transfiguration.

Transfiguration is a trick that can change the appearance of the body. The introduction is: it can be as small as a mosquito or as big as a Titan.

However, this introduction is just a rhetoric. There are not many people who can really use Transfiguration to change to the size of a mosquito or a Titan.

The Transfiguration used by most wizards can basically only be as small as the body of the Kula Kuka tribe, and can only be three to five times larger than a normal human.

But there are also Transfigurations that are smaller than mosquitoes, like dust; larger than Titans, comparable to mountains. However, very few can reach this level.

There are two factors that determine the upper limit of Transfiguration.

The first is the energy foundation. The second is the quality of the soft-bodied insects.
