I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 35 Escape Channel
  Beside the high wall.

A soldier was standing upright, reporting to Captain Su how he discovered this suspected Theseus cell escape channel.

"This area is where tree-breaking sheep live. They make a living by gnawing on tree cores and minerals."

"After the riots stopped, I led my team on daily patrols. This has never happened when we patrolled this area in the past."

"But just today, we found that the entire forest was full of blood and body parts left by the massacre."

"We followed the blood trail here and found this hole. It looks like it can lead directly to the outside of the high wall."

At this point, the soldier felt a little nauseous and quickly took a sip of water.

Captain Su knelt down, glanced at the blood, and touched it with the bandaged hand.

"Still fresh?"

"Yes." the soldier replied.

Captain Su stood up and asked, "Does the Broken Tree Sheep have any natural enemies?"

The soldier pondered for a moment: "Yes, but the natural enemies only feed on them. I have never seen such a tragic scene of massacre. When we came here yesterday, it was normal. It is unlikely that it was caused by any natural enemies."

Captain Su shook his head and retorted: "It might be an act of 'overkill'."

The soldier asked in confusion: "Huh? An act of 'excessive killing'?"

"It is to kill too many prey in an extremely cruel way, but it is not eaten or used for storage. It is like a cat playing with a mouse." Captain Su explained.

After hearing this, the soldier thought for a long time and then shook his head. He took out his electronic screen and showed a picture to the captain.

This is an extremely ferocious-looking goat.

Like a poor-quality picture synthesized by AI, this goat has two huge horns, stuck straight into its head like a chainsaw, shining with a metallic light.

Its hair is a grayish metallic color, a bit rough, like curly wire, and its eyes emit a penetrating red light like a camera.

Electronic goat?

"These are tree-breaking sheep." The soldier explained in response to Captain Su's suspicious gaze: "That's why ordinary predators don't dare to mess with them."

Captain Su nodded, gradually understanding.

He walked to the scene of the massacre and unearthed hard gray hair and a broken chainsaw chain in the soil.

The soldier followed behind and continued: "The natural enemies of the Broken Tree Sheep can only sneak attack on the old, weak, sick and disabled individuals, and they do not dare to attack the sheep at all.

"And their meat is tough, so large predators won't risk getting hurt by messing with them."

Captain Su nodded and said, "Let's go look at the entrance of the cave again."

Back at the entrance of the cave, this weird shape made everyone feel sick again.

The entrance of the cave is not big, round and about the height of a person. It is located on the edge of a small slope and connects the inside and outside vertically.

The most terrible thing is the white oval long strips of flesh that are constantly twisting on the inner wall of the cave, like bee pupae.

There is a black spot at the top of the densely packed flesh, which senses the surrounding light and darkness like an eye.

The arrival of everyone made the meatballs all turn towards the outside of the cave.

What a trypophobic nightmare.

Li Luo was not afraid, he picked up a branch and stabbed it. Mo Ling couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

Fortunately, after the meat particles hit the branch, they just twisted and pushed the branch inward.

Seeing this, Li Luo let go of his hand and sent the branches one by one to the depths of the cave.

This scene made everyone look confused.

Next came several more operations, stones, leaves, daggers...

This cave accepts all comers and sends everything inside, as if it has no self-awareness.

Li Luo checked the database, but it was empty without any similar information.

Mo Ling looked deep into the cave. The end of his field of vision was still the same grain of flesh, and he didn't know where it extended.

"Did you bring the detector?" Captain Su asked the soldier behind him.

The spider-shaped detector was put into the cave and moved deeper into the cave, driven by the flesh particles. Everyone was anxiously watching the images returned by the detector in front of the screen.

The cave is winding and full of densely packed flesh. After turning a few corners, the signal has become very poor.

The location of the detector is still barely known, and as it advances, a three-dimensional cave map is automatically calculated on the screen.

The soldier looked carefully and exclaimed: "It's not from the high wall, it's from the bottom!"

But it seems that the cave is not over yet, the detector is still going down, and the speed of the meat particles is getting faster and faster.

The picture gradually became blurry.

Just when everyone thought the picture was about to disappear, the detector suddenly hit an oncoming black figure.

Click!

After the black shadow knocked the detector 180 degrees, it continued to rush towards the top of the cave.

Black screen.

The flashing detector position signal on the screen also disappeared, and the three-dimensional map drawing stopped abruptly in the middle.

Everyone looked at each other and reacted quickly.

"Go and guard the entrance of the cave!" Captain Su shouted.

The soldiers raised their weapons and aimed them at the cave entrance, and some even placed traps directly at the cave entrance.

Everyone gathered in a circle, waiting for the black shadow to emerge from the hole.

The flesh at the entrance swayed slowly like seaweed, and soon began to shrink.

The flesh crumbled, and a gray fur ball covered in viscous liquid was suddenly pushed out and fell to the ground.

I thought it was some powerful beast, but it turned out to be just a ball of fur?
  This stunned the soldiers.

The fur ball stretched out its curled body and turned out to be a tree-broken lamb.

Although it is small, the muscles on its body are perfect, and the chainsaw on its head is sharp and tough, like a strong billy goat.

The weird little tree-broken sheep stood up and stepped on the trap set by the soldiers.

baa!
  It fell to the ground wailing.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers who were supposed to attack were confused.

But at this moment, Mo Ling discovered something was wrong——

There is actually a red string worm in this little lamb's head!
  So while the soldiers were still stunned, Mo Ling had already launched an attack, and the chainsaw horn on the little lamb was instantly peeled off by Mo Ling.

The lamb's head was suddenly bleeding profusely, and his body was trapped in a trap. He was in a dilemma.

Seeing that the little lamb had no strength to resist, the soldiers put down their weapons, took out a capsule and threw it.

The capsule burst open in the air, unfolding a hard alloy net, trapping the little lamb inside, and everyone relaxed.

Mo Ling was still nervous at this moment, because in his field of vision, the lamb's flesh and blood was healing rapidly, and there was an abnormal metallic liquid surging in its body.

Suddenly the liquid burst out of the body, tore through the alloy mesh, and rushed towards an approaching soldier.

Mo Ling tried to teleport the flying liquid, but the thing flew too fast and could not be stopped.

The liquid passed by with a "cha" sound.

The soldier still maintained a shocked posture, but his body had been cut off at the waist!
  Everyone who reacted quickly launched another attack.

When the little lamb saw this situation, he actually showed fear in his eyes. A white light flashed and he cut off his trapped limbs. He kicked off one foot and flew back into the cave.

Mo Ling quickly followed the little lamb with his vision, constantly creating blood holes in its body, but the lamb's healing speed was actually getting faster and faster!

Even if the head is severed, it can be regenerated quickly.

Mo Ling quickly calmed down, remembered the nature of the red string worm, and stopped attacking.

What's going on with this lamb?
