I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1121 The Stone of Survival

After the "lava severed hand" separated from the body, the cool breeze near the body suddenly began to become turbulent. Then, a heat wave tore through the cold air, turned into a tornado, and rushed into the sky.

The surrounding sand and gravel were blown into the air by the tornado and fell to the side.

Mo Ling and Lu Qi quickly hid behind a large rock, but the hot wind still caught them off guard.

"After being divided, its original body will actually lose its anti-temperature properties..." Mo Ling said in surprise as he watched this scene.

The "anti-temperature" property seemed to be attached to a single object. After the body was divided, the anti-temperature property was attached to the severed hand, while the body lost its original property and the heat it carried was released.

"Can the heat be removed this way?"

Wouldn't it be possible to keep the temperature constant by dividing the heat? How did the stone man come up with this idea?

"Isn't this too clever?" Mo Ling couldn't help but exclaimed.

After losing heat, the severed body cooled down rapidly, gradually changing from a red state back to an ordinary appearance, while the severed hand became hotter and hotter, and even began to melt, turning into magma and flowing onto the body of "Stone Ah Dai".

Lu Qi looked at this scene and shook his head slowly.

"Although this can reduce the temperature, it will also make it lose the ability to move normally..."

"Only at high temperatures can it move at a normal speed and think at a normal speed, but at high temperatures it destroys the structure of the rock."

"So it has to keep itself at a relatively high temperature, but not too high."

This sounds like a very difficult thing to do. Mo Ling finds it hard to do just by thinking about it.

"The temperature can't be too high, nor too low... why is it so troublesome."

He was now beginning to worry about the Stone Man.

"Don't worry." Lu Luqi saw Mo Ling's worry and comforted him, "Although it is struggling now, it has found some coping methods. Maybe it will be able to adapt to this state soon."

"Really?" Mo Ling was a little unconvinced.

"Of course it's true. For us, that temperature may be very high, but for rocks, they have already experienced such temperatures. In the igneous rock stage and the sedimentary rock stage, they are already familiar with the speed of molecular movement at this temperature. Now all they have to do is find a stable state."

"The nature of a temperature-reversible object determines that it cannot be stable." Mo Ling was still a little worried.

"The reverse temperature is just against the laws of nature, it doesn't mean it can't be controlled. These stones have reached an extremely terrifying level of control over themselves. They may be able to do things that humans can't do."

Lu Qi said this very confidently, and it sounded like he was very confident about these stones.

The severed hand turned into magma that flowed on Stone Ah Dai's body, forming glowing veins. Such veins can be seen in many places: tree roots, vines, leaf veins, blood vessels... These are the veins of life, but now they appear on the lifeless stone.

Because they imitated humans, these stones gained the ability to think for a short period of time.

With the help of the human brain, it gained a deeper understanding of its current situation.

Under the acceleration of high temperature, its thinking also reached a normal level, and in a short period of time, it made several efforts. But now, it has turned into invisible magma again, and it seems that everything has returned to the original state. At this time, the stone has no ability to think, and it is numb and stiff.

But things were not that simple. The boiling magma flowed and suddenly embedded into Stone Ah Dai's body, wrapping him in the stone. Then, some places under the stone began to glow red.

Head, heart, bones, joints...

Cracks appeared on the stone man's body, and his joints began to be transformed into a movable state. He no longer rigidly imitated humans, but instead became a "puppet" with some glowing red threads seeming to be pulling at him from inside.

The surrounding bones are heated and activated, changing from hard stone to a soft "cartilage" state, with the magma acting as a lubricant.

It actually made use of the softened magma!

Rock is hard, but lava is soft.

Rocks at different temperatures exhibit different physical states, and now the stone man is combining these different physical states into a "whole".

Just like life, the body of life is not absolutely "soft", there are many hard parts, and the physical properties of different parts are also different.

It goes one step further in imitating life.

The stone man slowly moved, with soft lava threads pulling at his hard stone body, and like a puppet, he took his first step.

The stone man seemed to have gathered the high-temperature substances in different parts, making full use of rocks of different temperatures.

The heat flows in the body, and because the total amount is not large and there is self-barrier, the heat will not be transferred too quickly, and its temperature will remain stable!

"It is using its own body to construct a mechanism to restrict anti-temperature objects." Route Qi said with some excitement as he looked at the stone man that had transformed into a completely new form.

He raised his glasses and looked carefully at the stone man's body.

"For areas such as the brain and joints that require high temperatures, we use anti-temperature materials to maintain a high temperature. The surrounding area uses self-fusion to transfer the heat, and then quickly splits it, allowing the high-temperature stone particles to touch the exoskeleton that exists as the 'outside world', and then transfer the heat away!"

"As long as the speed of fusion and division remains consistent, and the expansion and release of heat remain consistent, its local high heat will always maintain a stable temperature. In this way, it can think and move at a normal speed without the risk of structural collapse!"

"The exoskeleton is an external heat dissipation component and does not belong to the main body, but it provides support for the soft magma cartilage and high-heat core. It can also provide the rock material required for fusion and division. It's amazing! It's amazing! It's worthy of being a sculptor who has practiced for hundreds of millions of years."

“Only the rock itself can be so familiar with itself and construct such an exquisite structure!”

Mo Ling rarely saw Router so excited.

He has always been very "calm".

The reason why he is so excited now is all because of this stone man, which means that the stone man has shocked him so much.

Mo Ling's eyes swept across the stone man's body. Stone particles were constantly flowing in the magma's veins, just like red blood cells in human blood vessels, except that red blood cells carry oxygen, while these stone particles carry heat.

These stones actually found a stable "life form" and used "imitation" to construct a new super life form.
