Chapter 60: Shoggoth Clone

Su Lun fiddled with the crystal ball, trying to find out if there were any functions he hadn't discovered yet.

After a while, he found a little light in the crystal ball, which was very subtle and difficult to see without careful observation.

The light was like an arrow, and the position of the indication would change as the crystal ball moved.

"Is it pointing somewhere?"

Su Lun looked at the arrow of the crystal ball, and the arrow pointed upwards, but he was now in an underground beehive, and there was nothing special above his head, just reinforced concrete.

He suddenly had an idea and quickly left the beehive and went outside.

It was late at night outside. Although there was industrial pollution in the sky, many stars could still be seen. A silvery white full moon hung in the sky, and the arrow on the crystal ball was pointing at the moon.

"Is there any relationship between the moon and the clone system?"

Su Lun frowned. The moon was too far away from the earth, and he couldn't go to the moon.

It would cost a lot to go to the moon, and gather strength to build a moon landing spacecraft.

There is no problem with the lunar spacecraft. There is ready-made manned lunar landing data on the earth. His genetically enhanced physical fitness is also fully capable of becoming an astronaut on the moon. It just takes a long time to build a lunar spacecraft.

Su Lun fell into deep thought. No matter what is on the moon, as long as it is related to the clone system, he will go up to take a look.

The crystal ball turned into a beam of light again and drilled into his body, constantly counting down for the next clone.

Su Lun took a last look at the moon. Humans don’t know much about the moon. With the help of clones, some dangers of moon landing can be reduced.

He returned to the hive and continued to wait for the new clone. The previous clones were all kinds of clones, and each clone had its own special features.

Su Lun didn’t know what the strongest clone of this clone system was. He just hoped that this clone would be stronger.

…

A few hours later, in a dark corner of the earth, a mass of amorphous protoplasm appeared in this dark corner.

The protoplasm was like a mass of soft mud about five meters long, with a surface like tar. The whole body was burnt and exuded a foul smell, and the body kept swinging back and forth.

This mass of protoplasm continued to adapt to the surrounding environment and slowly grew eyes to observe the world.

"This clone is..."

Su Lun quickly took over this strange clone. He observed the body of his clone, and a terrifying name appeared in his mind.

[Shoggoth: Prototype]

[A strange life composed of amorphous protoplasm that can continue to divide and multiply and become anything known. ]

A series of information flashed through Su Lun's mind, and he immediately knew the identity of his clone.

Shoggoth is a life similar to slime, which can continue to divide and grow. Because of protoplasm, it can also become anything.

Su Lun controlled the protoplasm to slowly change according to his imagination. The protoplasm immediately gathered and turned into a human-like appearance.

However, he is only similar in appearance now, and has no organs and functions that a human body should have. In the end, he can only turn back into a pool of protoplasm.

"My clone is still the most basic Shoggoth."

Su Lun quickly understood the shortcomings of Shoggoth. Shoggoths who mastered various technologies are very powerful, but newborn Shoggoths are very weak.

It is worth mentioning that he did not lose SAN value because of seeing the body of the Shoggoth. The Shoggoth just looked a little strange to him, probably because he had seen too many monsters.

Su Lun quickly determined the development path for his new clone. The protoplasm of the Shoggoth is the most basic substance, and protoplasm can form anything.

The most primitive life on earth is single-celled organisms, and it is protoplasm that makes up single-celled organisms.

Su Lun knows enough about biology, and he knows the structure of single-celled organisms very well, but before becoming a single-celled organism, he needs to go to a place where single-celled organisms can survive.

He is now on the land in a dark corner, surrounded by moist soil.

Su Lun's protoplasm stuck to a ball spread out and began to penetrate under the soil.

It didn't take long for him to pass through the soil and reach the groundwater. The protoplasm gathered together again in the groundwater and went to the nearest river along the groundwater flow.

In the process of going to the river, Su Lun controlled the protoplasm to change according to the appearance of single-celled organisms.

About five meters of protoplasm quickly condensed and turned into tens of millions of paramecium.

"It's just as expected."

Su Lun controlled tens of millions of paramecia to swim in the water. Although he swam very slowly, he became a real single-celled organism with all the functions of a paramecium, not a fake with only appearance.

He was washed away by the current. Although the paramecium was fragile, it was a part of the growth of the shoggoth.

After Su Lun arrived at a stable area of ​​water, he began to transform into other single-celled organisms.

As long as the detailed structure is known, the shoggoth can become anything, and paramecium is just one of them.

Su Lun began to design the form of the shoggoth according to his own ideas. All the paramecia turned back into protoplasm, and then turned into muscle cells, skin cells, etc. These cells gathered together to become a multicellular organism full of muscles.

A monster full of muscles appeared in the water. Because his whole body was full of muscles, he was very powerful and was the overlord in this water.

Su Lun observed the situation in the surrounding waters through the eyes he designed, and various freshwater fish swam around him.

He can turn into various cells, but he still lacks something to turn into a complete creature. He doesn't know the detailed structure of the creature. If he has a biological blueprint, he can turn into any creature.

"The best way to get the blueprint is to catch the creatures around."

Su Lun looked around and immediately chose a powerful target, an adult crocodile.

The crocodile was covered with thick scales and was about four or five meters in size. It looked like a Nile crocodile, one of the largest crocodiles in the world.

Su Lun rushed over immediately. He was now a muscle monster with muscles all over his body. He swam in the water completely by ejection, and his speed was not very fast.

The crocodile was resting in the water. It saw Su Lun. Its reptilian brain made it unable to understand a monster like Su Lun, so it did not dodge at all.

Su Lun climbed on the crocodile. He had no mouth or teeth, no means of attack, and no digestive system, but he was a shoggoth.

He drilled into the crocodile's body from its mouth and began to take over the crocodile's body.

He turned back to a single-cell state, using the crocodile's body as nutrients, dividing and growing while analyzing the crocodile's body structure.

But when the cells of Shoggoth were distributed to every part of the crocodile's body, he had a complete understanding of the crocodile's body structure.
