Chapter 785 Will of the Swarm (Ⅱ)
It's a pity that "flying insects and beasts" is only a level 2 spell, and its magic power level is too low.
The will of the swarm condensed with it as the core is also at a relatively low level, and the equivalent intelligence attribute is between 1 and 2. With hard work, it can barely touch the intelligence level of a domestic dog.
Even so, the "Will of the Swarm" is already the most intelligent existence among all the insects that Joan has come into contact with today.
Joan released a mental wave, calling "Will of the Swarm" to approach him.
The "will of the swarm" obeyed his instructions, and passed the instructions to the minds of every individual in the swarm.
The fireflies flying in the sky, as if controlled by an invisible force, collectively turned and flew towards Joan.
The corners of Joan's lips raised slightly, and the feeling of remote control of the swarm was very fresh and interesting.
However, he can't indulge in this fresh and interesting game yet, he has to complete the follow-up experiment process first.
Thinking of this, he held up his wand and released a "Giant Worm Art" towards the swarm.
"Yal!"
The honey-colored amber ball suddenly glowed, and after three seconds it was full of magic power, shooting out a beam of golden light.
The fireflies are like pink stars shining in the night sky.
The moment the insect swarm was illuminated by the radiance of golden magic power, a small number of fireflies were randomly selected by the spell, differentiated, and swelled into a huge giant insect.
Joan counted, and a total of eleven fireflies were affected by the spell, turning them into gigantic griffin-like giant insects.
The firefly that has become ten thousand times bigger...
Emmm~~
Not cute at all!
It just looks kind of scary!
The temperament of these giant insects did not become fierce and aggressive due to the change in size, they still flew around Joan to show off their cuteness, and the back of their buttocks shone brightly.
However, the attribute of "cute" is often closely connected with "petite".
The enlarged fireflies are no longer cute. The airflow brought up by the flying turns into a squalling wind, and the flickering light at the tail is too dazzling, just like a lighthouse on the coast for night ships to navigate.
As for the rest of the fireflies, they didn't grow any bigger. They were turbulent in the wind blown by the turbulent airflow fanned by the giant insects, and they ran away in fear.
The gigantic fireflies spawned by magic no longer belong to the original group, and automatically break away from the control of the "will of the swarm".
Since eleven individuals were stripped out, the size of the swarm shrunk, and Joan vaguely felt that the "will of the swarm" was also slightly weakened.
According to this, Joan was able to verify a deduction:
The strength of the "will of the swarm" is indeed positively related to the number of individuals in the swarm.
Joan casually wrote down the thoughts in his mind in the experiment log. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, we will conduct in-depth research on "Will of the Swarm".
Eleven minutes passed in a blink of an eye, and the magic power of the "Giant Insect Technique" was exhausted, and the gigantic fireflies flying in the air collectively transformed into normal sizes and returned to the swarm.
Soon thereafter, the time limit for "flying insects and beasts" also reached, hundreds of fireflies disappeared one after another, the twinkling stars were all turned into darkness, and the room was empty and silent.
Joan was very satisfied with the experiment.
The results show that the swarm of insects summoned by "flying insects and beasts" can be used as a prerequisite for launching the "giant insect technique".
The two spells fit closely together, forming a set of chain tactics.
If there is anything unsatisfactory about this set of chain tactics, it is that the "flying insects and beasts" are limited by the level of magic power. Although the number of summoned insects is sufficient, the individual strength is not strong enough.
Joan has tested in the previous experiment, the gigantic ordinary spider, the mutant spider that can't beat the ripened eggs, not to mention the big staghorn beetle, the giant bombing beetle, the giant bee and the ground digging spider that are more powerful than the mutant spider. insect.
From this point of view, the benefits of "flying insects and beasts" are mainly convenient and quick, especially suitable for occasions that require quick response.
If there is sufficient preparation time, especially when preparing to fight against strong enemies, Joan is more inclined to use special eggs with "giant insect technique", so that the created insect swarm is more powerful.
After finishing this phase of the experiment, Joan returned to the office next door, sat in front of the experiment table, and rearranged all the data to ensure that it was accurate.
The hour hand of the clock pointed to 12:00 noon, and there was still nearly an hour left in the laboratory Joan rented.
He was not in a hurry to check out, and opened the metal airtight jar storing the special eggs again, poured all the eggs on the table, and checked them one by one with the "perspective hand mirror".
It took more than half an hour for Qiao An to check all 82 eggs carefully, and the result was quite regrettable.
Among them, 20 eggs and larvae in the pupa have died.
Qiao An picked out the dead eggs and threw them away. While feeling sorry, he also found a problem.
A metal tank with a magic seal is not the best container for long-term preservation of insect eggs.
The longer the delay, the more eggs will suffocate to death.
However, it is also not a good idea to keep insect eggs in the open air. After a while, the larvae will tear through the cocoon and hatch out, which cannot be used to launch the "giant insect technique".
Just when Joan was lost in thought, the magic key on the table buzzed and was still shining, reminding him that the laboratory has reached the time limit, and if he needs to continue using it, he must go to the administrator as soon as possible Renewal.
Joan got up and stretched, cleaned up the table, picked up the key and left the laboratory.
After returning the key to the administrator, Joan walked out of the underground testing ground, his stomach growling uncontrollably.
It was already past noon, and he decided to go to the restaurant to eat something to fill his stomach before continuing to study the problem of storing insect eggs.
Joan didn't want to waste too much time in the restaurant, so he ordered a fast food, a smoked salmon sandwich with a bottle of mixed vegetable juice.
Salmon is one of the most famous seafood in Midgard Port. The fresh and tender salmon meat is sliced, and the flavor is better after being slightly smoked.
This simple lunch is not only convenient, but also delicious and healthy. For Joan, it couldn't be more perfect!
The weather in Midgard in early April still had some spring chills.
Joan took a sip of the cold vegetable juice and couldn't help shivering.
This cup of cold drink inspired him, and the originally vague idea in his mind quickly became clear.
Joan swallowed the sandwich in two or three gulps, covered the unfinished vegetable juice, held it in his hand, and hurriedly left the campus and returned to his apartment.
The Zion siblings are not at home, and the quiet atmosphere is very suitable for concentrating on research.
Joan locked herself in the bedroom, sat at the desk, opened the storage bag, and took out the materials and tools that would be needed next.
The first thing that was taken out was a large piece of blue ice, and when it was placed on the table, it immediately gave off a biting chill, and the temperature in the bedroom dropped rapidly.
The blue ice collected from the depths of the ice in the Underdark is a very special mineral.
The composition of green ice is actually no different from ordinary ice cubes, it is cooled and solidified water.
However, affected by the magical power of the earth veins, the alchemical characteristics of green ice are very different from ordinary ice. Not only is its hardness comparable to steel, but its melting point is also similar to steel.
