Chapter 784: The Will of the Swarm

Summoning bugs with magic is actually not difficult.

Various levels of "Natural Ally Summoning" can be used to summon insect creatures.

Joan was neither a druid nor a ranger, so he couldn't use the "Summoning of Nature's Allies", but it didn't matter, he just learned a 2-level spell recently, which was suitable for summoning insect creatures.

This spell is the "flying insects and beasts" he analyzed from the "centipede robe" of the old blind man.

"Flying insects and beasts" can summon a large group of insects or small animals according to the caster's mind.

This spell cannot summon giant insects that are almost magical beasts such as "mutated spider", "digger", "big stag beetle", "bombing giant beetle" and "giant wasp". However, spiders, centipedes, ants Ordinary insect creatures such as scorpions, moths, etc. can be easily dealt with.

Having solved the source of the worms, the next question is, can the worms summoned by magic be used to bless the "giant worm technique"?

In fact, the old blind man had already provided Joan with an answer to this question with his actions.

When exploring the underground ice cave, Qiao An and his party met the old blind man on a narrow road and had conflicts.

Qiao An clearly remembered that the old blind man summoned a large group of red-headed centipedes by using the "flying insects and beasts" attached to his robes.

When these centipedes were summoned, they were just ordinary centipedes, less than one foot long.

And when the old blind man released the "giant insect technique" with his magic wand, these little centipedes turned into a group of huge giant insects, and their combat power increased by a thousand times!

From this example, we can see that the 2nd ring "Flying Insects and Beasts" and the 4th ring "Giant Insect Art" can be combined into a set of simple and practical chain tactics.

The next thing Joan has to do is to personally verify the feasibility of this tactical combination.

The red handkerchief on the table was specially bought by Joan as the material for the "flying insects and beasts" spell.

He picked up a handkerchief and headed back to the test site next door.

Standing in the center of the field surrounded by the force field shield, Joan made a series of slightly jerky casting gestures.

It has been less than three days since he obtained the "Flying Insects and Beasts".

During this period, he spent almost no energy on learning this spell. He just memorized the spell while copying it. He reviewed the spell configuration just now. He is still not very proficient in casting it, but the success rate is still guaranteed.

It would be unbelievable if a mage of the same grade knew that he could successfully cast a newly contacted level 2 spell after just reading it twice.

I have to ask Joan, why is the efficiency of learning new spells so high?

In fact, there is no trick, it is nothing more than analogy, plus a little cleverness.

Joan had studied "Level 1 Monster Summoning" and "Level 2 Monster Summoning" before, and already knew the basic configuration of summoning spells.

Based on this, learning other summoning spells, such as "flying insects and beasts", will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

In addition, superb comprehension and memory are also essential.

If someone else is like Joan, who has an intelligence attribute of up to 29 points, it is not difficult to learn "flying insects and beasts" in two hours.

"Yal!"

Joan chanted the last Quenya spell representing "summoning", successfully completed the casting process of "flying insects and beasts", and waved out the red handkerchief.

The bright red piece of cloth seemed to be lifted by a gust of air, and kept at a height of five feet above the ground, slowly hovering in the air.

The distribution of the magic net around the handkerchief changed subtly. Countless magic threads invisible to the naked eye criss-crossed and shuttled. Using the red handkerchief as the base, weaved a set of complex spell configurations.

When the spell configuration was finally completed, the magical red handkerchief suddenly burst!

Countless pieces of flax fluttered in the air, transforming into a group of sparkling fireflies.

These small Coleoptera flying insects have delicate pink heads and a pair of slender black scabbards, under which are hidden silky soft and transparent wings.

A smile appeared on the corner of Joan's lips, looking up at the swarm of fireflies flying in the sky, there were no less than a hundred of them.

Joan released mental waves to communicate with the flying insects.

After some attempts, he found that he could not directly command an individual in the swarm.

However, he can use the swarm composed of hundreds of fireflies as a whole to give orders to it.

Joan was not surprised by the little firefly, whose intelligence level was too low to communicate spiritually.

However, why do hundreds of bugs gather together to form a common will, communicate with themselves spiritually, and even fully understand more complicated commands?

Could it be that even mediocre bugs with extremely low IQs, as long as there are enough of them, can produce qualitative changes and form a "common will" with both developed intelligence and delicate emotions?

If the number of individuals is large enough, they can cooperate with each other and learn from each other's strengths.

So in the most ideal situation, it is indeed possible to unify the will of all individuals and embody a personified group will, possessing amazing wisdom, rationality and emotion.

Such "swarm will", if we take human society as an analogy, it is the so-called "national will", "national will", "institutional will", or collectively referred to as "Leviathan".

In nature, the greater the number of individuals in a group, the stronger the "swarm will" formed and the higher the level of intelligence.

There are just over a hundred fireflies, and under natural conditions, it is almost impossible to form a "swarm will".

Even those insects that are more social and orderly, such as ants and bees, require thousands of individuals to gather to form a weak "swarm will", and this common will cannot be achieved by pure The existence of the spiritual form must be embodied in a spokesperson (worm).

The spokesperson (worm) selected by the "Will of the Swarm" is the "Queen Ant" or "Queen Bee".

The sociality of fireflies is far inferior to that of ants and bees, and there is no "queen of fireflies" to lead the group.

Then, how did these beautiful bugs, which have been widely praised by bards since ancient times, symbolize freedom and romance, form the "will of the swarm"?

And it is still more advanced than ant colonies and bee colonies, and does not need "kings" or "sons of heaven" as endorsements, and a purer "swarm will".

This kind of "will of the swarm" that does not need to rely on an entity and exists purely in a spiritual way is actually close to a "god" in the religious sense.

Joan recalled the spell configuration of "Flying Insects and Beasts", and gradually came to his senses.

The reason why a small number of fireflies can condense the "will of the swarm" is entirely the result of magic catalysis.
