Chapter 862 Metamorphosis
In 1621, on the morning of May 16th.
Joan Vader woke up and found himself transformed into a huge insect.
To be precise, it was a giant hymenoptera bee.
Why did it become like this?
Isn't this in a dream?
It took Joan about a minute to calm down, and there were signs that this was not a nightmare.
I really became a giant bee.
Just last night, I was fine, but during this night, some kind of accident must have happened, which caused me to become like this.
Joan was thinking anxiously, trying to recall the unusual details of last night.
Strange to say, his memory has always been very good, and he can remember all the books he has read, but he has a vague impression of his experiences before and after falling asleep last night.
I just vaguely remember that I didn't sleep well yesterday, woke up from nightmares several times, and fell asleep again shortly thereafter.
He could no longer remember the scenes in the nightmare, and the only thing that left a deep impression on him was the moonlight last night.
In the early morning of May 16th, the full moon outside the window was like a silver plate, and the cold moonlight made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
Before and after falling asleep last night, he felt the moonlight shining on his body, and he felt chills and shivering, which made him have an ominous premonition.
At that time, he thought it was just an illusion caused by overuse of the brain and fatigue.
Any sane person should not be paranoid about this.
However, when I woke up this morning and realized that I had become like this, I realized that the premonition last night was not an illusion.
So, what is the root cause of becoming a giant bee?
Joan is no stranger to changing body shapes.
In fact, he's been working on developing a near-perfect transformation recipe lately, and he's already made a breakthrough.
If he woke up and found that he had turned into a "choke monster" or a "snow monster", he wouldn't be so surprised, maybe he would feel a little smug about his hardworking spirit of not forgetting to practice the transformation spell in his sleep Woolen cloth.
However, neither the "transformation technique" nor the "mythical transformation technique" could turn him into an insect, let alone a giant bee that was similar in size to a human being.
Joan thought hard for a while, but still couldn't come to a definite conclusion.
The body structure of the giant bee is not suitable for lying on the human bed.
Even though there was a layer of bedding, the wooden plank still made his back uncomfortable, and the railing beside the bed restrained his wings, making him unable to stretch them, making him very aggrieved.
Joan decided to give up thinking and act instead, changing to a more comfortable lying position.
He moved his six claws together, tried his best to turn his bloated body, and after a lot of effort, he finally completed a turn that should have been simple, and lay down on the bed belly down.
Feeling much more comfortable now, Joan shook the half-hanging antennae on both sides of his forehead, and sighed in satisfaction.
Joan was taken aback by his own sigh, and couldn't help wondering.
It stands to reason that hymenoptera insects do not have such complex vocal organs as "vocal cords", and almost all of them are born dumb.
The so-called "insect sound" is just the sound made by the "sound membrane" located at the root of the wings on both sides when the membrane wings are vibrated at high speed, being impacted by the airflow. It can release simple signals, but cannot express complex semantics.
Observing from the perspective of humans, it is believed that insects do not have the ability to communicate in "language", so it cannot be miscalculated.
However, now that Joan has become a giant bee, how can he still sigh?
With a trace of curiosity, Joan tried to speak.
The results of the experiment made him feel cold.
He was unable to utter full word syllables except for a few simple vowels.
This level of language ability is of course far inferior to that of humans, but it is still much stronger than ordinary insects.
This little test seems to prove one thing.
Compared with ordinary Hymenoptera insects, the giant bee that Joan has turned into is not only larger in size, but also has a huge difference in physiological structure.
In fact, whether the giant bee is a creature of natural origin or the creation of an ancient magician has not yet been determined, and its status is rather vague.
It is understandable to classify it into the ranks of Hymenoptera insects, and to set up a "Gypsia suborder" or "Gypsidae" for it.
However, if the giant bee is expelled from the ranks of insects and regarded as a "magic beast", it cannot be said that it is completely unreasonable.
Joan meditated silently, and at the same time spread out her wings out of instinct, shaking them subconsciously, followed by humming from the wings.
He was interrupted by his own beep, and came back to examine his wings.
The wings of the giant bee are a pair of enlarged membranous wings, which look transparent and thin, but are actually very tough, and the texture is a bit like silk.
Joan tried to vibrate his wings to stir up the airflow, and then his body left the bed and floated up slowly.
Just when he was deeply interested in this novel way of flying, his back hit the ceiling heavily.
With a muffled bang, Joan wailed and fell down, almost smashing his bed down.
For a giant six-foot bee, the space in the bedroom is too small to spread its wings and fly.
Having just suffered a loss, Qiao An did not reflect on her reckless behavior, but was complacent, shaking her thin legs, and humming happily.
This isn't his first attempt at flying indoors.
When he first learned the 2-ring "transformation technique", Qiao An once turned into a hawk and tried to fly indoors, but just after flapping his wings twice, he bumped his head against the wall and his forehead was swollen.
The Eagleman's flying style is similar to that of a falconiform raptor, and his wide wings obviously cannot be used indoors.
However, according to Joan's observations, and the unsuccessful flight attempt just now, he found that the flying methods of hymenoptera insects are very different from those of falconiform raptors, and they are not good at long-distance flying or high-speed diving.
But when it comes to flexibility, when it comes to the ability to instantly change direction through high-frequency vibration of wings, hymenoptera insects are much better than falconiform raptors.
As far as the entire class of birds is concerned, there are only a few small guys such as hummingbirds that are not much different from insects, and they are worthy of a battle with Hymenoptera in this respect.
The giant bee that Joan turned into, although its size was out of the category of insects, still maintained the innate flying skills of Hymenoptera.
He vibrated his wings again, slowly lifted into the air, and found that he could suspend in a small area for a long time, as if standing still.
Next, he tried to move back and forth, left and right, up and down, and performed several sets of reciprocating movements, all of which were successfully completed, just like a little bee gathering nectar above the stamen.
This kind of flexible flying skill, the Hawkman will never be able to do it.
Thinking of picking honey, Qiao An suddenly felt hungry.
However, after more in-depth thinking, he was surprised to find that although he was proficient in all the skills of collecting pollen and making honey, he didn't really want to eat flower honey at the moment, but wanted to eat large pieces of fresh meat.
