Chapter 187: Theory of Insect Luck
Chapter 187: Theory of Insect Luck
In this empty place filled with insect eggs, due to some special factors, the surroundings suddenly became lively. Clear chiseling sounds came from inside some insect eggs, some continued to expand, and some rolled before they even hatched, trying to reach the depths of the secret realm first.
Ivan and the masked wizard noticed all these strange phenomena, but neither of them paid much attention to them.
"Wizard Solomon, what do you think?" Ivan responded to the masked wizard's words, "Looking at the entire Moon Clamp Peninsula, I'm afraid no one can surpass you in understanding the Dead Bug Cloud Realm."
This was not a compliment. Solomon knew things that Randall didn't even know. It was obvious that the other party had obtained some more secret and comprehensive information.
From what we can see so far, Solomon has shown goodwill and he wants to hear the other party's opinion.
"Of course, I came prepared."
"In fact, this is a place where insect luck is everything. The better your insect luck is, the more favored your insects will be by the ancient black sickle lord, and you will get the items you want."
"My suggestion is that you choose a bug that represents your luck, enter the pool, and let it fight for you. Maybe you will get something unexpected."
The masked wizard was not modest. He explained in a neither fast nor slow tone, and then made a suggestion.
Blocking worm luck?
Ivan pondered for a few seconds and his eyes fell on the Queen Silkworm who was eager to try. If there really was such a thing as insect luck, his insect luck came from the Swift Wood Silkworm clan, and the Swift Wood Silkworm clan originated from the Queen Silkworm.
Looking at the entire Swiftwood Silkworm clan, no one can be a better representative than the Silkworm Queen.
"Mumble."
The Queen Silkworm urged firmly.
The wind moth and the fragrant butterfly also heard what was said just now. The two insects looked at each other and stopped volunteering.
"Go ahead and bet on our luck as insects." Ivan nodded heavily to the Queen Silkworm and stretched out his hand to take her to the pool where a lot of black liquid had been stored.
The Queen Silkworm twisted her plump white body, looked back at Ivan, and slowly but firmly crawled forward until she fell from the back of his hand and turned into a moth in mid-air.
The moth fell into the black liquid at lightning speed.
"Good luck to you, Wizard Ivan." The masked wizard had been paying attention to the movements on his side. Seeing that he was so decisive, he couldn't help but express his satisfaction.
As he spoke, he pulled out a scroll from his pocket. After the scroll was activated, a 'bug man' emerged, fell into the pool, and sat in the middle of it immediately.
Obviously, he would try his luck with this insect man.
'This is---'
Not far away, Ivan noticed this scene out of the corner of his eye and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The insect man was clearly a biological puppet, and its overall appearance was somewhat similar to the academy's shadow ant servants. However, the shadow ant servants were elemental creatures, while this biological puppet was clearly a flesh and blood creature.
Not only that, this is also an insect controller who has been transformed into an insect beyond recognition.
Ivan believed in his own judgment that the insect man who fell into the pool was an insect-controlling wizard, a being just like himself, but he had been transformed into a biological puppet.
This is too hard to believe.
Suddenly, Ivan felt more apprehensive and regretted his previous decisiveness. He glanced at the wizard not far away, then turned to look at the Queen Silkworm in the pond.
The masked man saw the change in his expression, but just smiled indifferently and didn't explain anything.
"Mumble."
In the black liquid, the Silkworm Queen sensed the wizard's inner uneasiness and kept making brisk sounds to show that she was in good condition. Hearing its voice, Ivan could only suppress his worries and wait quietly for things to develop.
The small ditch connected the corpse of the Black Scythe Lord and the stone pool, and continuously brought black liquid to the pool at a slow speed, and also brought tremendous energy, causing wisps of black smoke to begin to emanate from the stone pool, and the smoke drifted to the rear with the wind.
The Queen Silkworm no longer made any sound, and focused all her attention on absorbing the energy from the black liquid.
In another stone pool, the insect man was also absorbing the energy from the surrounding area, and people could clearly see its greed, its greed for energy.
"Eat more, eat more, and then you can fight back when you have the strength." The masked man watched the scene with a smile, muttering softly.
Time passed minute by minute, and the creatures in the two pools showed different styles while absorbing the energy from the black liquid. The insect people would occasionally show partial body deformations, such as bone spurs growing on their bodies, their eyes splitting into a line of multiple eyes, and so on.
The distorted appearance makes people worry about it.
On the other hand, the Queen Silkworm swam around the stone pool, and its body had some changes. It looked like a fat silkworm that had eaten too much. But after a while, it became thinner and its body became shriveled due to hunger. It undoubtedly looked much more normal.
"Wizard Ivan, would you mind answering a question for me?"
"Please say."
"If I'm not mistaken, your bugs should be able to cultivate on their own, right?"
"Wizard Solomon, you are right. It knows a simple insect breathing method. It's no big deal."
As a wizard, Ivan also abides by the principle of equal exchange. The other party just told him a lot of information, which was considered as a return of favor, so he answered the other party truthfully.
"I see. This is not a simple matter. I think I understand why you are able to come here. It's amazing." After hearing this, the masked wizard did not hesitate to praise.
Ivan could not deny this.
"One more thing, this puppet was not made by me." The masked man added after a pause of a few seconds.
Ivan nodded slightly without saying anything more, but the fear in his heart was obviously not so easy to dispel.
Behind the two of them, insects broke out of their shells in many places. Nourished by the black smoke, their bodies suddenly swelled up, becoming huge and strange in appearance.
The newly generated insects broke the common biological boundaries. Centipedes, cockroaches, dragonflies, grasshoppers, fleas, ants, earthworms, mole crickets, etc. Various biological characteristics were randomly fabricated and combined, and appeared in the secret realm openly.
These insects, which are over ten meters long, are all hideous without exception.
Like normal insects, they also felt the attraction coming from not far away. The first thing they did after they took shape was to rush into the depths of the secret realm to grab something that was extremely tempting to them.
"Wizard Ivan, I remind you again, don't let them enter the pond you are guarding, otherwise their aura will clash with your insect luck, which is not good."
"Thank you."
Ivan turned around with the Wind Moth and the Fragrance Butterfly and saw large insects here and there, as well as insects that were reviving. It felt like there were enemies everywhere.
He could also guess that many wizards were rushing here without stopping after discovering the abnormality in the secret realm, which was probably another troublesome matter.
It seems that I need to stretch my muscles again, but I must not disturb the creation of the Queen Silkworm.
