Chapter 3 A pale yellow slime mold

A pale yellow, slimy lump of soft mud crept up on the book.

It devoured the other Penicillium clones on the book, and it wasn't slow, as it was the size of half a fist of an adult.

It squirmed like a slug, spreading almost the entire book.

"Whew~ Fortunately, Lao Tzu came out, otherwise he would have stayed inside forever. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mei Jun hurriedly used his ability, evacuated from the book with mycelium, and stopped at a high place.

But he found that the slime mold was in a sticky state, indicating that it had just reached the vegetative growth stage, and the slime mold at this time would devour all the nutrients.

As a result, poor him became a single commander again, and all the offspring that was copied that time were eaten up by this lump of Xiangxiang.

Slime molds are a group of mold-like organisms that form spores with cell walls.

However, during their vegetative growth phase, the cells do not have a cell wall, which causes them to be able to deform freely and look like a slime.

Mei Jun now knows how small she is, so she must not rashly break into this yellow slime mold, otherwise there will be no scum left.

He knew that it would not be long before the slime mold would continue to expand and spread out like a network, and then he would have a chance to devour the Xiang-like thing.

"What an amazing creature, is this slime mold? Mei Jun looked at the magical creature below and was surprised and overjoyed.

As long as he has this ability, maybe he will have the opportunity to become a new person.

The slime fungus swallowed the nutrients around it one by one, so it looked like a lump of things wriggling.

Mei Jun can only wait now.

But he didn't wait, he swallowed nutrients to strengthen himself.

But his current speed is too slow compared to the slime mold below, and if he can get the slime mold ability, it may be different.

In the long wait, it always feels as if a century has passed.

I don't know how long it took, but unfortunately there was no clock in this room, so there was no way to know the time.

He could only wait quietly, and there were many penicillium copies around him, all of them, and now he could only rely on this means to store material energy.

These clones are unconscious, the equivalent of bottles of water.

But fortunately, these things have an instinct, an instinct for living beings to eat.

Like the spiritual energy obtained from books, he is usually used directly to strengthen the soul.

An adult soul can be loaded with a lot of spiritual energy, but he lives in a moldy shell, and there is a limit to what he can use.

Fortunately, devouring and compressing these two soul-bound abilities only need to consume spiritual energy.

The slime mold below began to expand, like spreading tentacles, spreading to other places and continuing to grow.

And Mei Jun is waiting for this moment, once the slime fungus spreads and spreads into a network, he will have a chance.

Because of his small size, he can't swallow the entire huge slime mold at once, and he will be swallowed by it if he is not careful.

You must know that although there is a fungus in its name, it is not a bacterium or a fungus, but a single-celled amoeba.

It is the largest single-celled organism on Earth today.

It can be said that there may be only one slime cell, but this cell has many nuclei in it.

And Mei Jun wants to eat its nucleus, because the nucleus contains the genetic material that "deforms" the slime mold.

After secretly making up his mind, he quickly gathered the mycelium on his body, jumped over, and landed on the side of one of the "small tentacles" of the slime mold.

He opened the mycelium again, rushed towards the tentacles, and plunged headlong into the "little tentacles".

No one could have imagined that a small mold could steal the genetic material in the nucleus of a cell.

"Damn, these are all replicated offspring..."Mei Jun used phagocytosis to drill a hole in the nuclear hole, and after entering the nucleus of a newly mature cell, he found that the genetic material in it was not complete.

However, even a newly mature slime mold nucleus is many times larger than Mei Jun's mold body.

When he went in, he picked out the genetic material, because if he ate it all, he would waste a lot of time.

It also takes a lot of time to digest everything, and besides, some genetic material is not what he wants.

"Ah, find, devour!" Mei Jun unfolded the mycelium again to roll up the genetic material, and then incorporated it into the body to obtain the genetic information in it.

After a period of time, Mei Jun, who had been successfully digested, appeared in the slime mold colony, swimming in this sea of light yellow slime molds, devouring the nuclei of slime molds passing by.

With the ability to shapeshift, he is like a fish in water mixed with the slime mold group, and he becomes a slime mold, and when he mixes in it, the slime mold will not attack him.

And his current volume is no longer the original short and incomparably small a few microns, he has grown to 30 microns...

The transformation ability he obtained is also gradually improving, but he knows one thing, if he can devour the mother body, this transformation ability will be greatly enhanced, and he can also change complex substances, so he will not only be able to turn into a ball or an egg like now.

Finally, Mei Jun, with her current 30-micron body, saw the female parent, the dense nuclear pore distribution surface, which was a super... Ordinary nucleus.

If Mei Jun knew that this round thing was the female parent, of course, he learned it by devouring the nucleus of the daughter cell of the "passing by" on the road.

Without saying a word, Mei Jun immediately made a move, but many slime tentacles around him also stretched out towards him, trying to hinder him from devouring.

Can the nucleus realize that it is a threat?

Mei Jun thought to herself.

Damn, all around this is 'it's domain'!

The tentacles tied Mei Jun and hung her up.

"I... I'm slime mold... King, what do you want to do?" a piece of intermittent information was passed to Mei Jun through the tentacles.

This piece of slime is not simple, but it still knows how to communicate, but it is a little ashamed.

Since Mei Jun also obtained the genetic information of slime molds, he is quite the same kind of slime molds, and he can exchange information through some media of slime molds.

"Lao Tzu is your father! Do you listen to Lao Tzu?" Afterwards, Mei Jun also communicated through tentacles.

Or maybe it's because his soul is so strong that this message is very fluent in the slime king.

"Listen... What is it to listen to?" The slime king sent another message, and it was puzzled, like an ignorant child.

"You let me go first. Mei Jun demanded.

"No... No! I... Feel... You're in danger... Dangerous. Who knew that the slime king actually rejected Mei Jun's request.

Sure enough, "anticipating danger" is the instinct of life.

Life differs from matter in that they are afraid of death!

"I'm stronger than you, so you have to submit to me, but we're the same kind, and I can make you stronger. Mei Jun began to bewitch "gently".

This is naturally a lie.

However, Mei Jun never imagined that one day he would even deceive a simple slime mold, when was he an excellent Young Pioneer when he was a child.

Getting the information of the word "like", the slime king seems to agree.

Subsequently, it sent another paragraph.

"You... You look so... Weak, I'm... It is impossible to surrender to you. ”

"Oh, is it?" Mei Jun was a little disdainful.
