Chapter 0458 Mutated Insect Mother

, the latest chapter of Wizard Era is updated the fastest!

In the stone tower, Grimm is silently studying a smoky ball.

This is a strange item left behind along with Mary's "letter". After studying it for a long time, Grimm still couldn't figure out what it is.

"Ding, the deep scan is over, and the statistical report is being generated..."

A moment later, a stream of data poured into Grimm's mind, where a structural scan image of the smoky ball was presented. And looking at the familiar biological structure analysis diagram on the projection, Grimm couldn't help but said in a lost voice: "Corpse Worm Mother!"

Yes, the smoke ball in front of him is not an item, but a living thing, a strange guy who once left a deep impression on Grimm-Corpse Worm Mother!

The original talent of the evil worm Entik was very ordinary. With such innate attributes, there was almost no possibility of promotion to a wizard. But he was lucky and successfully merged a Corpse Worm Mother during his apprenticeship. And it was this unexpected gain that allowed him to break through the limitations of his talent and successfully cross the threshold of a wizard.

Seriously speaking, even among the ranks of formal wizards, Entik is one of the best.

As long as he raises a large army of carrion beetles, even those veteran wizards will flee when they meet him. After all, not every wizard can raise a team of thousands of people like Mary to fight against him, and it is impossible to break through the dense swarm of insects and behead him directly.

The combination of carrion swarms and undead insect bodies is really unsolvable at some times!

But now, the carrion worm mother fused by Entik has fallen into his hands, so the fate of the evil worm can be imagined. In the knight plane, without her own support, Mary actually killed the evil worm Entik independently. Grimm was afraid of the hardship and danger just thinking about it.

However, since Mary kept this worm mother, it was obviously a hint that Grimm could dispose of it at will.

However, just as Grimm stared at the smoke ball, with murderous intent in his heart, the smoke ball suddenly trembled and slowly cracked.

It was not a smoke ball, but a sphere formed by the insect mother curling up into a ball. The exposed smoke-colored hard shell is just the hard shell behind the insect mother!

Perhaps it sensed Grimm's murderous intention towards it, or perhaps it knew that it could not continue to hide it, so the mutant insect mother automatically stretched out its body and turned itself into a smoke-colored beetle again.

This is a strange creature with a dark smoke shell. There is a pair of huge colorful pupils on the insect head, and around the pupils, there are many small compound eyes densely surrounded. At the front of the insect head is a lotus petal-shaped layered mouthparts, and a pair of strange blade-shaped giant jaws are clearly visible.

The back of the beetle is a layer of dark smoke shell shining with crystal luster. In the perspective detection of the chip, its hardness is not weaker than that of magic iron alloy. With this hardness, even if a violent swordsman chops with all his strength, it is probably difficult to damage it. Only the ramming of heavy weapons may be able to damage the soft internal organs inside the shell through strong shock, if it has any.

Although there are many sickle-shaped limbs densely arranged on both sides of the beetle's body, it is probably difficult to rely on them to protect its own safety with its fist-sized body.

While Grimm was silently looking at this strange insect mother, the mutant insect mother also raised her insect head and sent a sharp insect hiss at Grimm.

"Ding, a request for spiritual connection from an alien creature is detected... Please ask the main body whether to start the connection?"

"Connect!"

The next second, Grimm's mind was occupied by a large number of noisy strange insect hisses.

The tone of the insect hiss kept changing and adjusting. Finally, a clear stream of consciousness gently touched Grimm's spiritual consciousness and simultaneously transmitted a group of unclear mental mappings.

"Protection... Contract... Survival..."

The insect mother is not a human, so its thinking and language methods are also very different from those of humans. However, through some special words, the two sides can barely communicate a little.

"You want to exchange contracts to seek my protection?" Grimm could only guess what the other party wanted to express based on the individual words "translated" by the chip.

This time, the worm mother nodded frequently.

"It's a pity, I care about my human bloodline very much, and I won't try to merge some foreign weird bloodline..." When Grimm thought of the appearance of the evil worm Entik's body, he felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

As if frightened by Grimm's indifferent attitude, the ugly lotus petal-shaped mouthparts of the worm mother moved faster, and the squeaking and piercing insect hissing was simply a kind of noise. Although the worm mother hissed a lot like a storm, Grimm only heard the words "powerful" and "obedient" through the chip.

"I will only take in slaves who are useful to me, like you..." Grimm tapped the table with his hand, looking down on the other party.

The mature body of the carrion beetle is also a kind of social wizard-level monster, with a strong armor and thick skin, super durable, and more importantly, it can fly. It is also a good wizard slave after transformation. But their biggest disadvantage is that they fly slowly and lack medium and long-range skills.

This means that they have a huge number, but it is easy for them to be in an awkward situation where the enemy cannot kill them and they cannot catch up with the enemy.

The insect queen began to scream more crazily, as if she was eager to sell herself.

Grimm listened for a while, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then spoke.

"I don't like the inferior undead insect body of Entik, so I won't consider merging with you. But I can give you a few references. If you can merge with one of my men, then I can continue to let you live. Otherwise, I must erase the last trace of Entik left in this world..."

The worm mother squeaked and hissed for a long time, and finally bowed her head helplessly.

"Since you agree, then let go of the mental protection and let me leave you a soul contract..." Grimm immediately struck while the iron was hot, trying to get this "potential stock" in the shortest time.

Although the worm mother is also a kind of intelligent monster, in this case it can only be slaughtered, crawling on the table, slowly letting go of the mental protection.

Under the control of the chip, Grimm's mental power pierced into the core of the worm mother's consciousness like a red-hot spike, leaving a unique soul mark there.

In this way, this worm mother can be regarded as Grimm's witchcraft slave. Even if it merges with any person or creature in the future, this soul imprint will always exist and become a necessary means to control its life and death.

Taking this opportunity, the chip also deeply scanned the spiritual consciousness and soul form of the insect mother, and projected the basic data of the insect mother in Grimm's mind.

The insect mother, a fusion-type mutant monster, has no attack ability, but can give the host a special ability to hatch war insects. The characteristics of the hatched beetles are determined by the host's talent, but the basic form is still a beetle type...

Basic body data: strength

Number of hatched war insects: determined by the spirit, the number of war insects that can be controlled by each point of spirit is 20, and the current control limit is 40.

Hatching speed of war insects: With sufficient flesh and blood nourishment, 5 eggs are hatched every day, and the adult growth time is 12 days.

Grimm slowly analyzed the characteristics of the insect mother and silently estimated its basic combat power.

The insect mother itself has no combat ability and can only rely on the hatched war insects to protect itself. With its hatching speed, as long as it is provided with enough flesh and blood, after 12 days, Grimm can obtain 5 wizard-level special beetles every day, and then treat them as some kind of consumables and continuously put them into the battlefield.

So in some ways, if this insect mother is used well, it can be regarded as a mobile biological beetle nest, which can continuously provide primary combat soldiers to Grimm's camp.

However, the insect mother alone cannot do this, and it needs to be fused with a person or a creature to have that magical ability. So after conquering the insect mother, how to choose a suitable host for it becomes a key.

After Grimm's test, although this insect mother was seriously injured due to the death of Entik, it still retains the basic ability of a primary wizard. This also means that any wizard apprentice who merges with it will become a new "evil insect" in a very short time as long as it is properly cultivated!

And because of the existence of the imprint in the soul of the insect mother, Grimm still has a considerable degree of control over the new "evil insect".

So, Grimm released the Stone Tower's authority, allowing the Worm Mother to secretly contact all the wizard apprentices in the Stone Tower, and selected a list of individuals that could merge with it.

To be honest, before seeing the list, Grimm thought that all the apprentices would be on the list, but when the list selected by the Worm Mother came out, even he was a little surprised.

This list is too small!

You know, at this moment, there are more than 20 wizard apprentices of all sizes staying in the Stone Tower, including quasi-witch apprentices such as Sabrina and Moss. But there are only 3 short names in the list selected by the Worm Mother, and there is no quasi-witch, and Grimm's 4 apprentices are not on the list.

Among the 3 names, Grimm only knows one.

Bilis!

Junior apprentice Bilis!

This result puzzled Grimm, and he only understood it after communicating with the Worm Mother.

It turns out that the Worm Mother does not choose the host completely based on the other party's strength, but more on the other party's talent.

The Worm Queen is a dark attribute monster, so she particularly favors creatures with similar talents to herself. Although Bilis is the weakest, on the contrary, he is extremely compatible with the Worm Queen in terms of talent attributes.

In some aspects, the degree of soul compatibility between him and the Worm Queen is even far greater than that of the former evil worm Endik!

Bilis...

Grimm kept repeating this name and couldn't help squinting his eyes.

This thing is really worth a try! chapter;
