Age of Adepts

Stonehenge, Grimm is silently studying a black sphere.

This is a weird thing left with Marie's letter, and after half a day of research, Grimm couldn't figure out what it really was.

“Drop, the deep scan is over, the statistical report is being generated...”

A moment later, a stream of data poured into Grimm's mind, where structural scanning images of black spheres were presented. And looking at the biotectonic profiles that appear to have been known above the projection, Grimm couldn't help but lose his voice: “Mother Deceased! ”

Yes, the black sphere in front of us is not an object, but a living creature, a strange guy who once impressed Grimm - the rotter mother!

The original genius of the evil worm Ntik is very ordinary, and with such a congenial attribute, there is little chance of being promoted to the rank of wizard. But he was lucky enough to succeed in integrating a rotter mother during his apprenticeship. And it was this unexpected harvest that allowed him to break through the limits of talent and thus successfully cross the threshold of the wizard.

Seriously, even in the ranks of official wizards, Ntik is among the top.

Just let him pull up a corpse beetle army, and even those old wizards run away when they meet him. After all, not every wizard can pull a team of thousands against him like Mary, nor can they break through a dense swarm and behead him directly.

The combination of an undead corpse herd and an indestructible corpse can be quite elusive at some point!

But now, Ntik's merging corpse mother falls into her own hands, so that the evil bug's fate can be known. On the knight's side, without her own support, Mary could have killed the evil worm Ntik on her own, and Grimm was just afraid to think about it.

But since Mary has left the mother of worms behind, she clearly suggests that Grimm can be disposed of at will.

However, just as Grimm stared at the black ball and his heart was killing him, the black ball suddenly shook and slowly split.

It wasn't originally a black sphere, it was a bug mother who curled her body into a bunch of formed spheres. The exposed black hard shell is just the hard shell behind the worm mother!

Perhaps it was Grimm who sensed the killing machine against it, perhaps knowing that he could not continue to hide it, so the mutant mother automatically expanded her body and turned herself back into a black beetle.

This is a strange creature with dark black crusts, with a huge pair of colored eyes above the head of the worm, and dense numbness surrounding the eyes surrounding numerous small reeyes. The front-end of the wormhead is a stacked mouthpiece with lotus petals and a pair of bizarre blade-shaped giant jaws clearly visible.

The back of the beetle is a dark black shell that shines brilliantly, and in the perspective detection of the chip, its hardness is not weaker than that of the ferrous alloy. This hardness, even if it lets a fierce swordsman chop it to pieces, is unlikely to damage it at all. Only the smashing of those heavy weapons may damage the soft visceral organs in the crust, if it exists, through severe shocks.

Although there are many sickle-shaped joints arranged in dense numbness on both sides of the beetle's body, it is difficult to protect one's own safety with its fist-sized shape.

As Grimm silently weighed this strange mother, the mother of mutant worms also lifted her head, sending a sharp hiss towards Grimm.

“Dip, a request for psychic connectivity has been detected for a xenobiotic organism… please ask the subject to indicate whether to start connectivity? ”

“Turn it on! ”

The next second, Grim's mind will be swallowed by a lot of noisy weird bugs.

The fizzy tone of the variation, adjustment, finally, a clear stream of consciousness gently touched Grimm's mental consciousness and simultaneously transmitted a set of elusive spiritual maps.

“Protect… the covenant… survive…"

Mother worms are not human beings, so the way they think and speak is very different from humans. However, through some special vocabulary, the parties are reluctantly able to communicate one or two.

“You want my protection in exchange for a contract?” Grimm can only guess what the other person wants to say based on individual words that come from the chip 'translated’.

This time, the mother nodded frequently.

“Unfortunately, I am concerned about my own human blood and will not attempt to merge some strange foreign blood...” When I think of the appearance of the evil insect Entik, Grimm has an aversion in his heart.

It seems to be frightened by Grimm's careless state of mind, the worm mother's ugly lotus petal-like mouthpiece creeping faster, squeaky, stinging worm hissing is just a noise. Though the bug mother sizzled a lot like a storm, Grimm only heard the words' understand ’,' powerful ’and‘ obey ’through the chip.

“I only take in servants who are useful to me, like you..." Grim tapped the table with his hands and couldn't see the other side of his face.

The Rotten Beetle Mature is also a herd type wizard grade monster, the armor is super thick and resistant, and more importantly, it is able to fly and transform is also a good wizard servant. But their biggest drawback is the slow pace of flight and the extreme lack of medium and long-range skills.

This leaves them empty in huge numbers, but it is easy for them not to kill them, and they cannot keep up with the embarrassment of the enemy.

The insect mother began to sizzle more wildly, looking eager to sell herself.

Grim's side ears listened for a while, and he closed his eyes and thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“The inferior immortal body of Entik I can't see, so I'm not thinking about merging with you. But I can give you a few references, and if you can merge with one of my men, I can keep you alive. Otherwise, Ntik stays the last mark in the world, I must erase it...”

The insect mother squeaked again for half a day and finally lowered her head helplessly.

“Now that you agree, let go of your mind protection and let me leave you with a soul contract...” Grimm immediately fought the iron while it was hot and tried to take care of this' Potential Unit ’in the shortest possible time.

Although the worm mother is also a kind of intelligent monster, in this case, she can only let the fish flesh, crawl on the table, slowly releasing the mind protection.

Under the control of the chip, Grim's spiritual strength was as hard as a burning spike into the core of Mother Worm's consciousness, where he branded his own soul.

In this way, this worm mother could be Grim's witchcraft servant. Even if it merges with anyone in the future, this soul brand will always exist and become a necessary means of controlling its life and death.

On this occasion, the chip also deeply scans the mother's spiritual consciousness and soul morphology and projects the mother's basic data in Grimm's mind.

Mother worms, fusion mutant monsters, do not have the ability to attack themselves, but can give hosts special warworm incubation capabilities. The characteristics of the incubated beetle are determined by the host gift, but the basic form is still beetle type...

Basic Physical Data: Strength < 1 Agility < 1 Physique 3 Spirit 2...

Incubation of warworms: The number of warworms per point of mental control, determined by the spirit, is 20, and the current maximum control is 40.

Incubation rate of warworms: 5 eggs are incubated daily with sufficient blood and flesh nourishment, and the adult growth time is 12 days.

Grimm slowly analyzes the traits of the Mother Bug and silently estimates its basic combat power.

The mother herself is incapable of fighting and can only rely on incubated warworms to protect herself. At its incubation rate, just give it enough flesh (the stronger the flesh of the tougher creatures), and after 12 days Grimm will get 5 wizard-grade specific beetles a day, then use them as some kind of consumable, constantly throwing them into the battlefield.

So in some ways, if you take advantage of this insect mother, you can think of it as a mobile biological beetle nest, capable of constantly providing primary soldiers to the Grimm camp.

But you can't do this on your own, and you need to blend it with someone or biologically to have that magical ability. So how to pick the right receptor for a worm mother becomes a key.

After Grimm's test, the worm mother retained her primary basic abilities as a wizard, although her energy was badly damaged by Ntik's death. It also means that any wizard apprentice and their integration will become a new 'evil worm' in a very short period of time, provided they are properly nurtured!

And because of the presence of branding in the soul of the mother worm, Grim still has considerable control over the new 'evil worm’.

Grimm then freed the stone tower, allowing the insect mother to secretly contact the Wizard Apprentice within all the stone towers and screened the list of individuals who could blend in with it.

To be honest, Grimm thought all apprentices would be famous until he saw the list, but even he was somewhat surprised when the list chosen by the Mother Worm came out.

This list is too small!

You know, in this moment's stone tower, there are more than twenty wizard apprentices, big and small, including Sabrina and Moses. But Mother Worm only had three short names on her list, none for the Associated Witch, and none for Grimm's four apprentices.

Grimm only knew one of the three names.

Billis!

Junior apprentice Billis!

Grimbeth didn't understand the result, or did he only know one or two after communicating with the Mother Worm?

Originally, the choice of the parasite by the mother of worms was not entirely based on the strength of the other, but more on the talent of the other.

Mother worms are naturally demons of dark attributes, so they are particularly fond of creatures who possess a gift similar to their own. Billis, though the weakest and the opposite, fits the mother of worms perfectly in her gift attributes.

In some ways, he fits the soul of the worm mother far more than the former evil worm Ntik!

Billis…

Grimm repeatedly said the name and couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

It's worth a try!
