Next, Sunders looked inside the observation box.
A green, sticky liquid creature that looked like snot was slowly wriggling around. Akeso's blood was scattered around the box. The snot monster was happily running toward the food.
However, when the snot monster was halfway there, a thin layer of frost suddenly appeared on the walls of the observation box.
The temperature inside the box began to drop rapidly.
The snot monster immediately stopped moving, and its body gradually changed. Its originally grainy skin became smooth, and there was a strange energy inside it, causing its body to slowly expand until it finally turned into a round ball.
It looked like a green marble.
"This is its reaction to the cold," said Angor. He withdrew the frost energy from his fingertip. The temperature inside the box gradually rose. The snot monster didn't change its form right away. It waited until the frost disappeared before returning to its "lump" shape.
The snot monster continued to crawl toward the blood essence. At this time, a yellow and black poisonous wasp was placed inside the box.
The snot monster sensed the movement of the wasp's wings in the air, and its body blossomed like a flower into the shape of a sea urchin. The thorns on its skin were long and sharp, and the "needles" were eerily green in color as if they were coated with poison.
"This is how it fights against insects," said Angor as he removed the wasp from the box.
Next, Angor performed several more experiments, including heat, drowning, strong wind, physical attacks, energy attacks, and so on.
Basically, the snot monster would take on different forms under different circumstances.
"Based on the current danger, it can minimize the damage done to it by changing its form. I think it's a self-protection mechanism," said Angor. "This is more like the behavior of a Soft Morphing Worm. But I don't think it's a Soft Morphing Worm yet."
Sunders checked the box carefully and reached out a hand to touch it.
A large number of illusion nodes immediately gathered inside the box. A purple-skinned insect-eater descended from the sky while releasing a terrifying aura.
The snot monster was startled and quickly changed its form.
Just like the wasp, it turned into a green sea urchin.
As the aura of the insect-eating beast grew thicker and closer, the snot monster began to slowly retreat. At this moment, a poisonous bee flew into the observation box with a buzzing sound.
The insect-eating beast extended its long pink tongue and sucked the poisonous wasp into its stomach.
With the sound of chewing, the poisonous wasp's aura completely disappeared.
This scene gave the snot monster a fright.
Angor did not know what Sunders was trying to do at first. He had already done this test before. Why would he need to repeat it again?
While he was still trying to figure out what was going on, the insect-eater stuck out its tongue and began to attack the snot monster. After several loud bangs, several cracks appeared on the wall of the observation box, all caused by the creature's tongue.
At this time, the snot monster displayed an astonishing speed. Its body was like a ball as it quickly spun and dodged.
However, the observation box itself wasn't big. Even if the snot monster could avoid the attack of the insect-eating beast, as long as it couldn't escape, it would eventually end up in the stomach of the insect-eating beast.
The snot monster was getting worse and worse. Suddenly, he saw a flash of light in front of his eyes.
The sea urchin monster, which had turned into a snot monster, threw out all the "needles" on its body at the snot monster's tongue and eyes. At the same time, the snot monster transformed into a silver-black spike. Its body expanded by at least three times, and it began to stab at the cracks created by the insect-eating beast.
It was obvious that the snot monster was trying to dig a hole in the wall to escape.
However, the snot monster did not manage to break the observation box at all.
Seeing this, Sunders snapped his fingers.
The insect-eating beast was created by an illusion, so it disappeared along with the sound wave. At the same time, the stinky saliva left behind by the insect-eating beast and the cracks on the wall also disappeared. These were all illusions.
Since the cracks were illusions, the snot monster couldn't dig a hole in the wall.
Sunders removed the illusion, but he still took out the "needles" he left on the insectoid monster.
He inspected them carefully and handed them to Angor. "Take a look."
As an alchemist, he already had an idea of what to do when he saw the needles, but he didn't expect that the needles would be so valuable. However, he was still surprised when he held the real thing in his hand.
It was hard, cold, and had a metallic luster under the light.
However, it was not metal because there were traces of biological tissue inside the flying needle. However, Angor could not tell if the needles were part of a snot monster.
They looked more like intermediate products made from living things.
"It's different from the thorns it showed at the beginning. When it sensed a deadly threat, it changed the properties of its skin in order to survive," said Sunders. "This is more like the characteristic of a Soft-Shape Worm."
"Also, look at how it transformed into an awl just now. You should be able to feel that unique energy fluctuation."
Angor nodded. "I sensed something similar to space ripples on its skin."
"That's right. This is also one of the characteristics of a Soft Shapeshifter," said Sunders. "These two characteristics both fit the characteristics of a Soft Shapeshifter. So, we can be sure that it's a Soft Shapeshifter.
As for why it looks different from other Soft Shapeshifters … it looks … strange, "said Sunders. "Maybe it's also a self-protection mechanism." Sunders hesitated for a moment before saying, "Maybe it's also a self-protection mechanism.
As Angor told Bobota earlier, the Soft Morphing Worm could change its shape at will. No one could accurately describe its true form.
"If you're still worried, you can ask Kimberly or Isabelle. In their era, Soft Shapeshifters were not extinct yet. They might know something, "suggested Sunders.
Sunders had used Soft Shapeshifters before, but they were already rare in his era. He did not know much about them compared to Kimberly and Isabelle, who had lived longer than him.
Angor nodded. Just in case, he decided to check with Kimberly one more time.
When the cyborg led Angor to Lady Kimberly, she was looking at a large pile of documents with a frown on her face. The Fantasy Forest in her hair was filled with mist. The Phantom creatures were all hiding in their homes, not daring to poke their heads out.
Apart from Lady Kimberly, there was another person in the room. A soul, to be precise.
It was Moliya.
Both Lady Kimberly and Moliya looked at Angor when they heard the door being pushed open.
Lady Kimberly put down her pen and looked at Angor. "Why are you here? I heard from Natasha that you've been in the lab for a week. Why don't you stay longer? "
Lady Kimberly's words were emotionless. Angor could not tell if she was being sincere or just being sarcastic.
According to Sunders, Kimberly had been receiving messages from various stations for days because of him. So, he decided to apologize to Kimberly first.
Lady Kimberly was a little surprised. "That's not a big deal. I didn't take it seriously. "
On the other side, Moliya chuckled. "Kimberly really wants you to stay a little longer. Many people have proposed to restart the experiment field these days, but she has postponed it with the reason that you're inside. Now that you're here, she has no excuse. "
There were many things waiting to be done, which meant that everything had to be restarted, and the experimental site was naturally one of them. Lady Kimberly was very passionate about alchemy, but when it came to dealing with the affairs of Dark Castle, she would always put it off.
Angor hesitated. "Maybe I should stay in there for a few more days?"
"Why do you say that? It's like a prison." Kimberly waved a hand. "It's fine. I have to deal with the mess here anyway."
Angor recalled the huge scale of the test site and the piles of magic materials. If this was still considered a mess, then he had nothing to say about it.
"Let's get down to business. You're here for something, aren't you?" Kimberly looked at Angor.
Angor told Kimberly what he wanted.
Kimberly murmured, "I heard that Soft Morphing Worms are extinct in the southern wizarding world. I didn't expect you to be able to get your hands on one … I haven't seen many Soft Morphing Worms before, but Moliya worked as an auctioneer a thousand years ago. She must have seen a lot of them. Show them to me."
Angor took out the observation box and told Kimberly about the experiment he did.
Kimberly couldn't tell what it was. But Moliya nodded without hesitation. "It's a Amoeba Worm indeed. And it's probably the best of them all."
It was hard to find something exactly the same in the world. Amoeba Worms were the same.
According to Moliya, Amoeba Worms could be divided into good and bad. However, the difference between good and bad was always vague. It all depended on who you were referring to.
For wizards, the biggest use of Amoeba Worms was their transfiguration spells. Therefore, the difference between good and bad Amoeba Worms was determined by transfiguration spells.
Transfiguration was a cantrip that allowed one to change one's appearance. It could be as small as a mosquito or as big as a Titan.
However, this was only a figure of speech. There weren't many people who could use transfiguration spells to make themselves as small as a mosquito or as big as a Titan.
Most wizards could only use transfiguration spells to make themselves as small as a Krakok or three to five times bigger than a normal human being.
However, there were also transfiguration spells that were smaller than a mosquito or as big as a Titan or as big as a mountain. However, only a few could reach this level.
There were two factors that determined the upper limit of transfiguration spells.
First, energy storage. Second, the type of Amoeba Worm.
