Chapter 863 Infected
With the size of a giant bee, if it survives by collecting honey, it does not know how much pollen it needs to collect to fill its stomach.
During this period, the energy consumed is far more than the nutrition obtained, and collecting honey is obviously not the most suitable way for him to forage.
Joan can understand this.
However, he couldn't figure it out, how could he be more interested in meat than pollen?
Could it be that the giant bee I turned into has a eating habit closer to that of a wasp than a bee?
However, how does this explain the detailed honey-gathering skills in his memory?
Putting aside this secondary issue for now, Joan urgently needs to figure out a more urgent matter.
How did he become a giant bee?
Did someone break into my apartment last night and secretly cast a 4-ring Transfiguration on me while I was asleep?
Or is there something wrong with my own body, because of some unknown mutation or disease, it has become what it is today?
Of these two guesses, Joan thinks that his own disease is more likely. As for the first case, it is too mischievous. He couldn't believe that someone could be so bored, sneaking into his bedroom in the middle of the night, just to turn himself into a giant bee.
With the nervousness of exploring his own mysteries, Qiao An tried to perform "inner vision".
Just such a simple 0-ring trick, Qiao An couldn't release it smoothly.
This blow was too great, and he was completely in a state of confusion for the next full minute.
As a mage, a genius with an intelligence attribute as high as 29, he would encounter obstacles in performing 0-ring tricks?
This is like a person waking up in the morning and suddenly forgets how to fasten his buttons. One can imagine the blow.
Joan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and carefully analyzed the reason for the failure of casting the spell.
In fact, the problem is not complicated.
Even a 0-ring trick needs to cooperate with the spell-casting gesture and the correct spell to cast it successfully.
Joan looked at his fluffy bee claws. No wonder he felt awkward when he made the gesture of casting a spell just now.
For the spells invented by elves and humans, the spell-casting gestures are of course the most suitable for the fingers of humanoid creatures. It is conceivable that it is very difficult for insects' jointed limbs to accurately perform the same gestures.
In the same way, insects do not have perfect language skills, and reciting spells is also a problem.
Joe calmed down and silently thought about how to solve the spellcasting problem.
How to cast spells normally in non-human form?
This is a long-standing hot topic.
In this field, the contribution made by mages is actually not as great as that of druids.
The perfect solution to non-human spellcasting, "wild spellcasting", was proposed by druids.
Joan remembered that Kandy was good at this skill. When he turned into a bird, he could use claws instead of fingers to make spell-casting gestures, chirp and sing instead of spell-casting spells, and cast spells as usual.
He first thought of sending a "short message" to Kandy, asking her for advice on "wild spellcasting".
However, in this way, "the fire cannot be contained in the paper", and a delicate girl like Kandy may suspect that there is something wrong with his body based on this, adding a lot of concern, and even rushing to try to send him over to visit him.
Joan turned around and flew to the mirror, seeing the figure of the giant bee reflected in the mirror, emotions of embarrassment, embarrassment and inferiority intertwined in his heart.
In any case, he didn't want Kandy to know that he had somehow become this virtue!
Regardless of "wild spellcasting", Joan can only settle for the next best thing, and use other super magic skills to avoid spells and gestures in the spellcasting process.
Joan has learned "Silent Spells", and when casting an additional "Sid Mana" or "Mythical Power", the link of chanting the incantation can be omitted.
However, he hadn't learned "Spell Fixed Shot", and the gestures for casting spells were still indispensable.
Joan looked down at his limbs.
Although the giant bee's limbs are not as flexible as human fingers, there are at least six limbs. It shouldn't be difficult to complete the spell-casting gesture, right?
Next, Joan spent an entire hour trying to correctly draw the "Inner Vision" casting gesture.
Well...it was much harder than he expected.
In the end, he used the six bee legs and the pair of tentacles on his forehead, and finally managed to make the spell-casting gesture. Cooperating with the "spell silent spell", he successfully cast the "inner vision".
At this moment, Joan couldn't help buzzing with excitement.
Even if he successfully developed a "mythical spell", he was never as excited as he was at this moment when he performed the simplest 0-ring trick.
After casting the spell, Joan closed his fist-sized compound eyes and entered a meditative state.
In his consciousness space, rows of familiar luminous characters appeared, and various indicators of his body were displayed one after another.
...
Creature type: insectoid giant bee form (humanoid creature, strange subspecies, shapeshifting subspecies, insect subspecies)
Health status: diseased (disabled right eye; infected with worm disease)
Occupation Level: Mage 5/Mythic Archmage 2
Current spell slot: 0th level - unlimited; 1st level - 6 (intelligence attribute bonus + 3); 2nd level - 4 (intelligence attribute bonus + 2), 3rd level - 3 (intelligence attribute bonus + 2)

...
Qiao An quickly glanced at his body data, and his face changed continuously.
Compared with the normal indicators, a lot has changed.
For example, attributes, strength, agility, physique, and perception are all enhanced to varying degrees by becoming a giant bee, but intelligence is reduced by two points.
There is also the supernatural ability column, which has changed even more!
In human form, Joan didn't have any supernatural abilities, and now he turned into a giant bee, and got four items including "shape change", "insect armor", "insect curse" and "insect identification". Supernatural abilities!
And all these changes come from the prompt in the health bar-infestation infection!
Joan took a deep breath and finally realized why she became like this.
It turned out that he was unknowingly infected with the "worm-like virus". The virus had been dormant in his body for many days and was not activated until yesterday, completely changing his physique and turning him into a "worm-like person".
The pathogenesis of "worm disease" is similar to the more famous "venomous disease".
At the beginning of the infection, no symptoms can be seen, and it remains dormant until the night of the next full moon. The virus in the body is stimulated by the moonlight to become active, which will prompt the patient to complete the final transformation and become an insect creature corresponding to the virus type.
