I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 25 Growing randomly
  There is a big crisis in the Huashu tribe.

Just like what the tree-turned-tree said before, they can no longer turn into trees.

The previous method used by Huashu has always been to use Theseus cells.

But not long ago, when the Huashus buried a companion alive as usual, something strange happened.

After the transformed tree swallowed Theseus's cells, his companions buried him, but after caring for him for a long time, no saplings grew.

The Huashus thought that a special situation had occurred, perhaps because the temperature and location were wrong. Such things had happened before, and they just felt very sad.

But such accidents soon repeated themselves in other transformed trees.

More and more transformed trees have failed to grow saplings after being buried in the soil, and the number of transformed trees has become less and less.

Until one time, after the Huashus buried a companion in the ground, after a while, a strange creature emerged from the soil.

It was a black-drilled mole that could burrow into the ground.

Only then did the saplings realize that it was not a problem with the growth of the saplings that caused the trees to fail to grow.

It's because the Theseus cells no longer listen to their orders.

The cells will change randomly and may turn into any kind of creature. If it becomes a creature that cannot burrow into the ground, it will be suffocated to death.

After learning about this incident, the panicked Huashus also conducted experiments to confirm the incident.

Not only that, they also found that the creatures in the entire area were changing randomly.

The descendants of living things will all turn into other species, and the tree population has a relatively small impact.

There was chaos among various creatures, and strange offspring were born in different populations, which caused biological riots.

Therefore, many creatures want to escape, so they go to great lengths to attack high walls and attack outposts.

Li Luo asked another transformed tree how they controlled Theseus cells to turn into a tree, and the answer was "instinct".

Their tree-forming population appeared out of thin air from a large tree hole, and they were born with only one purpose, which was to become trees.

As for how they control Theseus cells, even they themselves don't know, and they have no way to solve the problem of chaotic changes.

After learning about the abnormalities in Theseus' cells, Mo Ling also fell into deep thought.

Why do Theseus cells, which have always been normal, undergo such changes?
  It's as if their recognition function is abnormal.

Trying to disguise himself as a mouse, he turns into an elephant.

Li Luo also learned from a transformed tree that there seemed to be abnormalities in the big tree cave. Strange sounds often came out there, and fewer and fewer transformed trees appeared.

If this continues, all the transformed trees will disappear, which is why the transformed tree tribe is so frightened and has no intention of running to outposts to exchange for fertilizer.

If the abnormality in Theseus's cells continues, not only the transformed tree, but all living creatures in this area will become extinct.

Mo Ling then thought about it, wasn't this a good thing?
  All creatures infected by Theseus cells are extinct, and there are no Theseus cells in the world.

But before that happens, a particularly powerful creature will definitely be born, and the outpost will no longer be able to support it.

We must know what causes the abnormalities in Theseus cells, and find ways to control them.

Signs of such large-scale impacts are bound to emerge.

Mo Ling thought for a while, and then thought about what the Huashus said before.

Strange sound?

Is it a big tree hole?

He quickly reminded Li Luo with a can, and after getting the electronic screen, he wrote four big characters on it: "Go to Big Tree Hole!"

……

In front of the big tree hole, Mo Lin didn't hear any strange sounds.

He didn't know if it was because he was trapped in the cube. Looking at Li Luo again, she didn't seem to hear anything.

In the big tree hole, the circular tree roots lead straight into the bottomless depths. According to Huashu, they all crawled out of the hole in a daze, and no one knew what was inside.

Slowly going down along the circular tree roots, the big tree hole is covered with luminous mushrooms. The weak fluorescence makes the entire big tree hole look like a dream.

But around these glowing mushrooms, various small creatures appeared, and they emerged from the roots of the mushrooms.

Not only that, there are also some huge biological corpses embedded at the bottom of the mushrooms, which look like they grow together with the mushrooms, as if the mushrooms grew out of these creatures.

Not surprisingly, Theseus cells are transforming the fungus, and the reproduction of these glowing mushrooms is also affected.

The impact was particularly strong in the big tree hole. As he went down, Mo Ling saw the remains of many strangely growing creatures.

Horns embedded in tree roots.

Arthropods stuck diagonally in a patch of moss.

The corpse of a deep-sea creature that fell to the ground.

Coral hanging upside down on a dead branch.

Bird skeletons sunk in a pool.

……

All evidence shows that this is the area most severely affected by the mutation.

Li Luo took out a recording instrument and recorded all these weird things.

But so far, the strange sound that Huashu mentioned has not appeared.

Instead, many crazy creatures attacked.

Most of these creatures were hungry and looked emaciated.

Mo Ling even saw some long-extinct earth species among these creatures.

Although they could be dealt with quickly, Mo Ling was unable to guard against these creatures that suddenly appeared from corners.

When they came to a huge platform of tree roots, Mo Ling was even more shocked by the sight in front of him.

The skeleton of a huge ocean beast sleeps here, and colorful biological limbs are chaotically integrated on the skeleton.

The body of a snake-like creature was stuck in the ribs of the giant beast, but it still survived tenaciously. When it saw someone coming, it began to attack crazily.

There are many living creatures like this. Although they are embedded in the bones and cannot move, they still survive by attacking each other.

Just like a natural poison pond, only the most powerful and most adaptable creatures can occupy a place.

No wonder the previous creatures looked so warlike.

Not because of Theseus cells, but because they were all born in such an environment.

They are born into different groups and cannot avoid fighting with other creatures.

Not only that, Mo Ling also saw the scene of two creatures chiming together.
  A turtle-like creature lay dying buried in the roots of a tree.

But a jackal-like upper body grew out of the top of its turtle shell.

The jackal kept biting the turtle viciously. The turtle's limbs were all bitten until they were bloody and bloody, and it could only shrink inside its shell.

What a weird hodgepodge of creatures.

While Mo Ling was still shocked by the phenomenon of biological chaos, Li Luo suddenly froze on the spot.

After a while, Li Luo turned to Cube and said seriously:
  "I heard."

"It's the voice of God!"
