Chapter Eighty-Three: The Wormhole in the Tree

In the salamander's body, Lin quickly decomposed and transformed all the flesh and blood of the salamander, and after eating only a layer of skin for the salamander, a new class slowly moved out of the skin.

Its name is 'Shapeshifter', which is similar to the infiltrator, it is a slime-type class, which can change the color of the body, and can also change shape at will, the cells of the whole body are in a state of mutability, the shapeshifter changes faster than the infiltrator, and the gum in the cortex can completely block its own smell, and Lin thinks that it will definitely not be found this time.

Speaking of, What the hell is a slime? The word always came to Lynn's mind, and in fact, except for amoebae, Lynn had never seen any creatures that could change their size freely.

Looking at the warehouse with a pile of food, Lin didn't smell any rot, maybe the Inca swarm had some way to resist rot.

The shapeshifter crawls to the entrance to the warehouse, which is blocked by the Inca swarm with a wooden stopper, but the shapeshifter can greatly flatten its body and get out of the gap in the gagged hole.

After drilling through the block, Lin saw the passage where it came, this wooden cave passage is circular, about half a meter in diameter, and when she came, Lin also saw many forks, which are estimated to lead to other rooms.

It's a lot like the cave system of Lynn and the Brain Bug, with a main passage that connects to rooms with various functions, and it seems that many creatures like to do this.

But the passage here is too narrow for slightly larger bugs to get through.

Lynn noticed that there were also glowing creatures on the walls of the passages, which were multicellular, about half a millimeter or so. It's a lot like the ones on the top of the cave.

The shapeshifter squirmed slowly against the walls of the passage. It completely changes the body to the color of wood. Occasionally, a small swarm of black bees walked through the passage, but they did not find the shapeshifters.

It seems that the camouflage was quite successful.

The shapeshifter moved slowly, and soon Lynn reached a place where there were three forks in the road.

This seems to be called an intersection, and it should be the way out all the time, so there are only two sides left, which way should you go? After thinking about it for half a second, Lin decided to split the shapeshifters in two, each going in different directions.

The shapeshifter to the right noticed that the passage was slowly starting upwards. Eventually, it even became vertical, and the shapeshifter slowly climbed up against the wall, while the shapeshifter to the left found that the end of the passage had widened and had reached a room.

There was a dazzling light in the room, and the shapeshifters entered and saw a wonderful sight.

The whole room is circular, and on the inner walls, there are many spherical objects glued to it, and an arthropod about three meters long is in the center of the room, and it keeps laying these spheres at the end of the abdomen. And glue them all neatly to the wall.

This one seems to be a queen or something, but the eggs it lays are all strange. There was a bright red glow in the center, and the amoeba slowly climbed up against the wall, and when she got close to the eggs, Lin could clearly feel that the temperature of the eggs was quite high, and it felt like a hot spring.

Is there any strange class in these eggs? Need that high temperature?

Lynn wanted the shapeshifter to get inside the eggs to take a look, when there was a sudden commotion at the entrance to the room, and a swarm of black bees rushed in through the entrance.

Lin saw that they were still dragging the salamander with only one skin left, and they were really quick to find out, and they seemed to think directly of something hiding in the salamander and mixing in.

The black bee began to search the room, and Lynn had the shapeshifter stick to the shell of the egg, which turned into the exact same color as the egg.

The black bees examined all the eggs one by one, and when one of them checked the eggs wrapped in the shapeshifter, the black bee suddenly let out a scream.

Was it discovered?

All the black bees gathered around, and without hesitation, they tore the shapeshifter apart, chewed it into pieces, and swallowed it.

If chewed, it is very difficult for Lynn to invade other organisms, and the scattered cells can easily dissolve away, but the shapeshifter has some small balls of chitin, which can still cause invasion when swallowed by black bees.

But Lin didn't know if the black bee could be charged, and if the Inca swarm had a character like a head bug, it would definitely be discovered.

In short, let's talk about lurking in the body of this black bee first, and at the same time, Lin also let the shapeshifter who went to the right start to change the structure of the body, so that the smell of the body changes very close to the trees, and the group of black bees just now may have found some residual smell in the salamander's skin, so they can distinguish it.

In fact, no matter how you get it, the smell is always there, as long as it is active in the air, it will inadvertently leave a lot of debris, the problem is how to make the other party's olfactory system judge whether it is 'harmful' or ' Lynn's shapeshifters can conjure up smells that most creatures find harmless or difficult to detect, such as the smell of stones, which usually does not have a special sensory response, but black bees can still search for salamander skins through guò, and after they remove the salamander's scent, they will track down the shapeshifter by locking the other scent inside, the scent of the shapeshifter, as 'harmful'.

Smell is a very deep problem, and in this respect, the sensory organs of the Inca swarm are quite developed.

After analyzing why the Inca swarm had found the shapeshifters, Lin changed the shapeshifters' scents and decided to change them every once in a while so that they could not rely on the residual smell to track the shapeshifters.

Then, Lin asked the shapeshifter to continue moving up the passage, and in the vertical passage, Lin found that the space around him was getting wider and wider, and when the shapeshifter walked for a while, the width of the place was about ten meters, and there were also many huge insects lying on the walls of the passage.

There were beetle-like bugs with elongated bodies and bright glowing bellies that Lynn suspected they hatched from the eggs, and Lynn could feel that their bellies were filled with the same heat as the eggs, and they also served as illumination.

But Lynn thinks they must be more than that.

In addition to this 'heat bug', Lynn also saw many other species of insects, some large and heavily armored, some petite but full of sharp teeth, and some with many round holes stuffed with round eggs.

There are quite a lot of Inca swarms here, but these strange insects fill the entire passage, and Lin suspects that the entire body of the homestead tree is occupied by them, and many black bees are shuttling back and forth under the feet of these strange insects, and they are carrying food to feed and care for these insects, and these insects are motionless, as if they are only responsible for eating and being in a daze.

Are they really just here in a daze? Lynn didn't think so, they might be preparing...... Something like that. (To be continued......)
