Chapter 0474: Magical Insects

While there was another 'small' upheaval in the Black Forest, Grim was busy in his laboratory.

Every time he completed the spiritual tempering, Grim's spiritual space would collapse slightly. During this time, he had to take in a large amount of energy substances by 'eating hyase' to support the energy consumed by his body and spirit during rapid self-recovery.

I have to be glad about this.

Due to being in the Black Forest, monster resources will never be scarce.

It is said that there is a saying in the ranks of battle wizards: only the best wizard can become the best fighter!

From this sentence, you can basically taste the attitude of the wizard towards eating and drinking.

This is not because the wizards are gluttonous and indulge in eating, drinking, and pleasure, but because of the fragility of the human body.

Whether it is an elemental wizard or a body refining wizard, the human body is not a help for wizards, but a great constraint.

The higher the wizard level, the more terrifying the elemental torrent that the body needs to withstand when activating high-level witchcraft. If Grim does not incarnate in time after becoming a fire witch, then every time he activates a powerful fire witchcraft, it will cause substantial damage to his body itself.

As you can imagine, terrifying magma flames of up to several thousand degrees are rushing wildly in the veins of the body. If there is no strong body, I am afraid that these high-level witchcraft will have burned the wizard's own blood vessels and flesh to ashes before they are activated.

And the elementalized body needs a larger amount of energy and matter to support!

The energy and substances converted from the diet of ordinary people in a day are probably not enough to support the wizards to cast the most insignificant sorcery. Therefore, the wizard, as an alternative high-energy creature, must also rely on an alternative diet to support the normal activities of this body.

The so-called exquisite food of human society has no benefit to the body at all for wizards except for its taste. Wizards want to grow stronger, and the magic energy package made of monster flesh is an indispensable daily aid for them.

Due to its proximity to the Black Forest, the Flame Throne naturally has a great advantage in terms of the reserve of monster resources!

In the quest hall on the first floor of the Witch Tower, the perennial top of the quest list is the long-term quest to buy the flesh and blood of monsters.

And in the breeding room of the Wu Tower, there are also some ordinary monsters with delicious meat in captivity all year round. However, these monster flesh and blood are only open to the upper echelons of the Witch Tower, so those low-level wizard apprentices hardly have a chance to taste them.

With the increase in the dominance of the Flame Throne now, there are more and more wizard apprentices attached to the Witch Tower. In addition to studying, experimenting, and practicing witchcraft, it is becoming more and more common for them to go out on adventures.

As the scope of the apprentice's activities expanded, the Flame Throne also had a deeper understanding and exploration of the surrounding terrain.

Not long ago, a high-level apprentice accidentally discovered a group of earth fire dragons in the process of exploring deep underground. After he sold this information to the Witch Tower, Grim had an extra main meal called 'Fire Dragon Ribs' on his daily table.

Of course, the name is a little exaggerated!

A stupid earth fire dragon with five big and three thick, stupid and ogres can only be regarded as a wurm creature with dragon blood flowing in its body at best. I'm afraid no one can tell the bloodline between them and the real fire dragon, but the trace of fire dragon bloodline soaked in their bloodline is real.

Since the Earth Fire Dragons are active in the depths of the volcano all year round, and they like to devour sulfur and fire cores, their flesh and blood are also impregnated with a strong fire elemental aura.

Back then, in the elite apprentice camp in the Dark Crypt, Grim just ate a meal of Earth Fire Dragon Ribs, and his strength skyrocketed a few points. Although now that he is a wizard, these supporting magical creatures can no longer give him the same huge boost as before.

But if he persistently devoured it, the subtle impact of the fire dragon ribs on Grim's body was still considerable.

If eating and drinking easily every day can make the body and spirit grow a lot, I am afraid that no wizard can resist the temptation of this red fruit!

An adult earth fire dragon weighs 3,000 kilograms, and after removing unnecessary debris and organs, the amount of rib meat that can be obtained is about 2,000 kilograms. After fully calculating the energy substance content of the fire dragon ribs and the growth demand of Grim's fire magic power, the chip formulated a basic amount of 50 kilograms per day for Grim.

50 kg of meat ribs!

If Grim were an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would be difficult for him to complete such a terrifying amount of food even if he was to death.

But all this can only be regarded as a small thing for Grim.

Now Grim still has a human appearance and normal human appearance, but if he is thrown on the operating table for an autopsy, he will find that all the internal organs and flesh and blood in his body are very different from humans.

This is also a helpless thing!

After becoming a wizard, any human being will go further and further down the path of 'alienation' until the day when there will never be a turning back. Even a guy like Billis, who has abandoned even the most basic human mind, is riding on the road of insectification, vowing not to look back!

In addition to the dragon ribs, Grim has also tried the flesh of the Earth Salamander.

Unfortunately, the sour smell was comparable to the witch potions that the apothecary apprentice had concocted, and Grim had blacklisted them on the table after trying them once.

In addition to all kinds of nonsense, Grim's most common daily work is to soak in a medicated bath.

Now Grim's spirit has steadily improved to 8 points, almost the same as the Kogan wizard who has been promoted for more than a hundred years, and they all belong to senior veteran wizards. But in all other physical attributes, Grim is lagging behind in all aspects.

This is actually related to the fact that his promotion time is too short!

After being promoted to a wizard, he was busy running around, so he didn't have time to settle down and consolidate his foundation. If it weren't for his many auxiliary means, I'm afraid he would never have achieved his current record.

And taking advantage of this rare 'seclusion' time, Grim immediately began to temper his body in all directions. This so-called medicinal bath is actually a means for low-level refining wizards to strengthen their bodies.

With energy-rich drugs or toxins, the sorcerer's body cells are constantly stimulated, so that they can achieve a dynamic balance between rapid death and recovery, so that they can continue to stimulate the body's potential to achieve the effect of fully tapping the strength of the flesh.

Of course, with this method, it is first necessary to solve the problem of continued weakness of the body after tempering.

And this, you can completely rely on the magic energy package to solve it.

It's just that Grim's spiritual refining and witch medicine refining are carried out at the same time, so the physical and mental weakness is both physically and mentally, and many times it also tortures him very uncomfortably.

You must know that as a wizard, even if he usually stays indoors, he can grasp everything that happens in the witch tower in great detail just by relying on his powerful spiritual perception. Even when needed, he can manipulate the changes in the landscape around the Black Forest like a finger.

However, at this moment, as his body and spirit fell to the bottom, his spiritual power could not be released, and his body was weak. This mortal 'feeling of weakness' gave him the illusion of being beaten back to his original form!

As the head of a faction, of course, this weak side cannot be seen by his enemies and subordinates, otherwise it is very easy to cause some unpredictable things. So during this time, Grim never left the fifth floor of the Witch Tower, and even Gargamel, who prepared the medicinal bath for him, never saw him with his own eyes.

Now that he was physically and mentally weakened to see people, Grim simply closed the door and began to study some research projects that had been put on hold for a long time.

In the past two days, the research project that has kept him tracking is the 'alien worm' who learned about the spider's nest!

Unlike the mutant mother, this surviving insect obviously has its own unique ability to survive.

If the mutant mother worm is pursuing 'parasitic co-prosperity' with the parasite, then this alien worm is simply usurping and plundering.

This insect was taken from Medusa's body at that time, and it was placed by the old spider himself, hoping that it would be able to break through the body and become a powerful assistant for himself. The strength of this insect lies in its ability to prey on the host's innate instincts and transform them into nourishment for its own growth.

Although it is impossible for the natural instinct to restore the host's ability 100% by such plunder, it still makes Grim sincerely surprised and shocked.

Throughout the ages, a person's natural instincts have been determined almost at the moment of his birth. Although it can be optimized and improved through a large number of rare resources in the later stage, it is simply unimaginable to change one's initial talent upside down.

After obtaining the worm, Grim had searched through the relevant books and history books many times, but he had not found any information about the worm. At least in the witchcraft books and tomes that Grim has come into contact with, there have been no examples of anything like this.

This further illustrates the value of this insect's ability to plunder the innate abilities of other creatures!

Therefore, from the moment he got this strange insect, Grim set up a separate laboratory for it, authorizing the chip to test and cultivate it in all aspects. After a series of witchcraft experiments, Grim got a mixed result.

On the one hand, this insect is indeed capable of preying on the innate instincts of parasitic creatures.

On the one hand, the instincts of the talents it plunders are fragmented and disordered, and it is impossible to put them back together by experimentation.

Just like the old spider parasitized the alien worm on Medusa, even the old spider does not know what kind of ability the alien mature body that will break out of the body in the future will be able to obtain. It's impossible to fully absorb Medusa's innate petrification technique, but a weakened version of the 'paralyzing gaze' has a considerable chance of taking shape.

How exactly did this strange witchcraft ability appear, I'm afraid no wizard can clearly explain.

This may be the main reason why the wizarding world has always been shrouded in a powerful mysterious force!
