The slime seemed to feel that it had been surrounded by a large number of cells. It also stretched out a large number of tentacles around its body, intending to fight back.
The Diggers' attack power was not as good as the cone cells, but there were more than seven hundred of them. Relying on the sawtooth at the front, they could also tear open the slime's outer membrane.
Tactics … planning …
Except for the Observer cell, Lin let every cell join the battle. While it observed, countless thoughts flashed through its mind.
The slime's tentacle stretched out and sucked away dozens of diggers at once. When Lin saw this, she immediately let the other diggers and cone-shaped cells surround the tentacle and let them cut off the tentacle with their serrated teeth to save some cells that had not been completely sucked in.
At the same time, Lin let the Acid Injector spray a large amount of dissolving liquid on the slime's wounds that the Diggers and cone cells had sawed out.
The slime's outer membrane seemed to have begun to have some resistance to the dissolving liquid, but the injection of the liquid directly into the wound made the slime feel great pain. It twisted its body, seemingly not intending to continue devouring Lin's cells, but integrating its body into a huge oval.
The slime's body floated up, as if it was planning to escape. Its body made wave-like movements on both sides, and it began to swim into the distance.
Kill.
Looking at the slime running away, Lin's idea was simple.
The Diggers and cone cells used their sharp sawtooth to insert into the slime's body, fixing it on the slime's body. They kept twisting, creating a large number of wounds on the slime's body.
The slime desperately twisted its body, trying to shake off all the cells on its body. It was indeed very effective. After many cells were shaken off, they could not catch up with the slime with their speed.
Lin let these cells eat the slime's body fragments that had been sawed off, and the cells that were still attached to the slime continued to attack.
Until the last cell was shaken off.
On the slime's way of escape, it left behind countless fragments, which were all sawed off by Lin's cells. But the slime was too big, and it seemed impossible to kill the whole thing. When the slime shook off the last cell, it still retained more than 70% of its body. It was still far from damaging its core.
But the 30% fragments were enough for Lin's cells to eat for a long time.
Lin let the cells eat the slime's fragments while thinking.
Although the slime's body could transform, it was very weak. But because of its huge size, it was extremely difficult to deal with.
In this battle, it had lost more than half of its cells, so it was not worth it.
Lin should have retreated earlier, but every cell it lost meant that Lin's intelligence also decreased, and it could not make the right decision in time.
At this moment, Lin suddenly had an idea. How could she increase her size?
Its cells would grow bigger if it ate more food, but it would divide if it ate more. It would not grow indefinitely.
If there was a huge cell, then it could rely on it to fight. If it was a cone-shaped cell as big as a slime, no, even if it was only half the size, it could easily tear the slime apart.
Then what should he do?
Perhaps the amoeba could help it solve the problem.
Lin looked at the cells that were eating the pieces of the amoeba's body.
Since the Acid Injector evolved because of eating the solution of the strange cells, eating the slime might change something.
It was so painful!
A sudden feeling interrupted Lin's thoughts.
From the observer's point of view, Lin could see a cone-shaped cell slowly sinking into the water as it ate the debris. Lin had already lost all sense of it.
Dead?
How did it die?
In Lin's memory, there was only a moment of pain. If it was a virus attack, it would be a pain that lasted for a long time. If it was attacked by other cells, Lin would definitely see it, but there was nothing here.
There was only a slowly sinking corpse.
A new danger …
Then, there was the same instant of pain.
Another cell sank.
An unknown danger …
Lin felt that something was wrong. It made all the cells stop eating the debris and gather around the observer. The observer was looking around at all the cells, trying to find the cause of the danger.
This time, Lin saw a danger that it had never seen before …
In the place where the amoeba debris was, something wonderful and hard to form was growing in the water. It shone with a bright light and kept growing in the water. First, it stretched out countless tentacles. Then, these tentacles stretched out countless smaller tentacles. These smaller tentacles then connected and stuck together, turning the entire body of water into an object that was exactly the same as it, shining with a bright light.
The tentacles that this object stretched out were not as soft as the amoeba's. Instead, they were hard and solid. At the same time, these tentacles did not twist and grow. However, it had already covered a large area of water in front of Lin's cell colony and was about to reach here.
This phenomenon …
A new word appeared in Lin's mind.
Freeze, ice crystal.
This shining crystal blue object was called 'ice'! And the reason it kept growing was because it was freezing this body of water!
Moreover, the speed at which it was freezing was quite fast. While Lin was thinking, the ice crystal had already spread to the front of her cell colony.
As long as the cell came into contact with this constantly spreading ice crystal, it would be frozen solid in an instant. At the same time, Lin would also feel a moment of pain and then lose the sense of the cell.
Was this the reason for the moment of pain just now?
Although she knew the reason, Lin was helpless against this phenomenon of ice. Even the dissolving liquid injected with acid would be frozen solid the moment it was sprayed out.
Furthermore, the speed at which the ice was spreading was so fast that Lin could not run away.
She could not fight back.
She could not run away.
Then, she could only wait.
Wait for luck to come, or … die.
Lin had all her cells gather together to prevent the observer from being frozen. After all, she was the only cell with vision. Only with vision would Lin have the confidence to survive.
The ice crystal continued to spread, freezing Lin's cells one by one. Lin lost her sense of them. She could feel the range of her surroundings getting smaller and smaller. At the same time, she also felt a clear pain … cold.
Countless cells surrounded the observer, but they did not seem to be able to stop the ice crystal. The cold ice crystal froze one cell after another. The power of the ice crystal also spread inside the cells, causing the entire nucleus of the cell to stop functioning.
Lin's cell colony continued to decrease from over five hundred until there were only over a hundred left … and then, it fell to single digits.
At this moment, the constant pain in Lin's mind suddenly disappeared, but the feeling of cold remained.
The ice seemed to have stopped. Why?
Lin looked around and found that there were only 91 digger cells left surrounding the observer.
