I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 201 201. The Ability of the Mother Nest

"Hu~hu~
Finally returning to reality, Croix took a few deep breaths before calming down.

He looked at the explosive mosquito that had turned into ashes with some fear. This was the first time he looked so miserable since he traveled through time. That kind of terrifying power was simply impossible to resist.

Fortunately, there is the power of angels to help, otherwise there would be no way to get out.

"Thank you... eh?"

He was about to thank the angel, but he found that the angel was slumped on the comfortable sofa, with even its wings drooping weakly.

"You, what's wrong with you?"

This was the first time that Cloya saw the angel so weak. Could it be that he had used too much strength just now?
Yes, that's the Lord of the Abyss!

Cloya hurried forward, took out his gopher harp and started playing. Three-color light surrounded the angel, gradually attracting more white clouds.

The angel's body absorbs these powers like a bottomless pit.

"Hey, get well soon." Cloya played the harp seriously, not noticing the angel's twitching expression and the corners of his mouth that could not be concealed.

After about half an hour, He finally sat up slowly, sighed and said, "Lucky friend, I can now confirm that this is the creation that Zugmoyi wanted to give to Huan at that time.

A creation from the vast starry sky."

He was in a very weak condition, and even the light on his body could not be maintained, which made Cloya feel very guilty.

"I'm sorry, but I was too reckless."

He really didn't expect that there was such a terrifying thing in there, which could even allow the consciousness of an abyss lord to descend in person.

"It's okay." The angel shook his head and pointed at his robe: "The mother nest seems to have given you something, don't you want to take a look?"

Kloya then remembered that the mother nest had stuffed a small insect into his robe. He quickly took it out and saw that there was actually an insect inside.

"Ah? Wasn't I in the world of soul consciousness just now? How come the things it gave me can also come into reality?"

"…Perhaps it's its ability." The angel replied calmly.

"It's possible." Kloya also thought so. After all, it was a special creation that had never been encountered before. It was also valued so much by an abyss lord. It was normal for it to have special abilities.

He quickly put the matter aside and began to observe the insect in his hand.

It was a fat white caterpillar about the size of a palm, with long antennae like a centipede. It was trying hard to arch its body and look at Cloya.

There is a very pure color in its little eyes, without the brutality of the cockroaches, exploding mosquitoes and monsters beside it. It is very pure.

Simply put, it's a bit like a baby's eyes.

Hmm... it suddenly becomes more terrifying when I think about it this way.

Kloya quickly put aside some weird thoughts and tried to communicate with it, but all he got was an endlessly hungry consciousness.

Its desire for food is even more terrifying than the desire of the Flower of Mammon, and it is extremely primitive, like a hungry beast.

"So hungry."

After looking at it over and over again, Cloya found that the network in its body had been completely cut off, and now there was only a small network centered on itself.

It is completely incomparable to the unfathomable consciousness network inside the explosive mosquito just now.

Of course, this also means that it cannot be controlled, and the only one who can control it now is itself.

Its name is very simple, it is called "larva".

"Can you grow up?"

"Since you want to eat, I'll let you try."

"Get the food..."

Just as Croa was about to call for food, the angel reminded him, "I remember it needs to eat magic crystals."

"..."

"Bring the magic crystal."

Since he was planning to feed it, Kloya was not stingy with the magic crystals and very generously asked the Wood Yao Qu Teng King to fetch a hundred magic crystals and piled them directly next to the larvae.

The angel blinked and said nothing, but raised the corners of his mouth and waited to see.

The larvae began to gnaw and tear apart the magic crystal with their sharp mouthparts, eating it piece by piece like starving ghosts.

"Crack, click, click!"

With the sound of chewing magic crystals, it quickly ate up the magic crystals around it, and began to gnaw on the magic crystals in the distance by wriggling its body with great effort.

Croix's expression changed from calm to surprised to numb.

In the end, he was completely exhausted from complaining.

You... do you have some kind of extra-dimensional stomach?
These one hundred magic crystals are dozens of times larger than its body, and it actually ate them all, and they are still this size?
"Woo~"

When the larva finished eating the magic crystal, it cried pitifully to Cloya, who twitched his mouth:
“I want more…”

"Then continue!"

Under his instructions, King Mu Yao Qu Teng brought more magic crystals and fed them to the larvae one by one.

One hundred yuan, two hundred yuan, three hundred yuan, five hundred yuan...

It ate more and more, and Cloya's expression gradually changed from numbness to curiosity. This thing can eat so much, what on earth is it going to become?

It didn't stop eating until it had eaten a thousand magic crystals. Suddenly, countless gray-brown mucus appeared around its body and gradually spread around.

Its body seemed to be melting in the mucus.

"It's about to build a nest..." the angel said in amazement, "This is a complete larva! Quick, put it in an open place!"

"It's going to become a nest!"

After the angel's reminder, Cloya did not dare to delay. He immediately removed the floor and took it into the small world before its mucus overflowed.

By the way, a building like a swimming pool was built on the ground for it to live in.

Only after throwing it in did Kloya feel relieved and sat beside it waiting to see what changes would happen to it.

Inside this pool, which is about 100 meters long, wide and high, the larva has completely melted in the gray-brown mucus. Its body has become extremely huge and is swimming in the thin film formed by the mucus.

About half an hour later, the mucous membrane broke with a "bang", and a nest appeared inside, which was extremely similar to the mother nest seen in the abyss of the consciousness network just now.

It should be formed of some strange keratin, like a crawling monster, trembling slightly, and constantly spitting out some mucus.

But in terms of size, it is much smaller than the mother nest.

"Splash~~~" With it as the center, the gray-brown mucus gradually intertwined to form a fungal carpet that was extremely similar to the one at the Yavana Holy Mine, and eventually covered the entire pool.

Sticky, wet, warm...

At the same time, some eggs about half a person's height grew out, with embryos beating inside, just like the embryos inside the Astral bodies of the Blasting Mosquitoes that Kroya had seen just now.

Soon, a scorpion-like creature about the size of a dog broke out of the egg.

They left the fungal mat and the pool and ran around, using their sharp mouthparts to tear up the soil and flowers, cutting them and bringing them back to the nest on the fungal mat.

It goes on and on in a cycle, just like a diligent worker.

In less than five minutes, the land about a hundred meters away from the center of the pond had become bare ground, and the lush grass and trees growing on it had all been cut by the insects and taken back to their nests.

Those things were all swallowed up by the nest.

There were also several huge insect eggs outside the nest, covered with mucus and trembling, and it was obvious that something was hatching inside.

"What a terrifying destructive power."

Cloya frowned slightly as he watched the entire process from hatching to the insects called "worker bees" biting and cutting the plants.

Because until now, the hunger of this mother nest has not been satisfied, and it still has an extremely terrifying and pure desire for food.

This desire became stronger and stronger, and throwing food in was like adding firewood to the fire. From Cloya's perspective, it was all orange.

This orange color is very special and pure, and people don’t feel any malice in it, but it is precisely because of this that Cloya feels very uncomfortable.

"You eat so much, it must be of some use."

Croa walked up to the mother nest and asked it, "What abilities do you have?"

His tone was not very good, because the damage this thing caused to the environment and its greed for food were too exaggerated, plus he didn't have a good impression of this thing in the first place.

If he hadn't noticed anything wrong with its soul and consciousness... maybe Kloya would have grilled the bug.

The mother nest didn't know whether it sensed Croa's dissatisfaction, and immediately replied: "I, this is my inherited memory!"

It took the initiative to extend its consciousness and convey some information to Kloya, who was a little nonchalant at first, but became more and more surprised the more he looked at it.

This... these inherited memories actually contain complete structural diagrams from flesh and blood to bones, and the ones that look like cockroaches on the outside are actually puppies called springtails.

In other words, it can "produce" this kind of springtail.

If you think about it, this is simply creating life!

Moreover, creating life as a golem is simply unheard of. Can such a thing really exist?

For a moment, even Kloya was briefly entangled.

But it was only for a moment, and Kloya quickly came to his senses and began to use the Astral Body Imprinting Technique to check its astral body and consciousness.

Similar to the previous mother nest, it also has countless tubes and chambers inside its body, and many larvae are swimming in the mucus, devouring nutrients.

The larvae are both separate individuals and part of the mother nest. They have nodes of soul consciousness in their bodies and are part of the mother nest network.

"interesting."

Kloya continued to go deeper, this time looking directly into the consciousness of the mother nest, searching for its actively opened consciousness, and found that apart from food, there were really only drawings of "Zamphinals" in it.

Other than that it's blank.

Since this thing was so weird, Kroa decided to add shackles and fetters to its astral body.

"You must always obey my orders. This is your wish!"

The Brood immediately expressed this wish to Croa.

The Astral Body Imprinting Technique was successfully activated, leaving a golden sun on the consciousness of the mother nest, forever illuminating its soul.

With this insurance, Kroya nodded with satisfaction, stepped out, and ordered: "Then make one for me!"

"This... I need more nutrition." The mother nest said cautiously.

"I have a solution."

“Come with me.

Croa ordered the worker bees to follow him, and then brought them to the portal of the gluttonous devil's paradise, pointing inside and saying, "There is a lot of food in here, go in and try it."

"Jiji!"

The worker bees made a sound, and then one after another entered the gluttonous paradise and began to move all the magical plants and magical beasts growing in it.

Even the soil was not spared.

They are like the most diligent porters, cutting and chopping all the objects they see into small pieces and carrying them to the mother nest.

"It really can't be polluted." Kloya was surprised.

Although there is no owner here anymore, there is still wind full of demonic power, which will corrode any living thing that enters.

Without Kevin as an explorer, his development and exploration of this place came to a standstill. He didn't expect that these worker bees that looked like they could be killed with one hand were not afraid of the devil's breath.

Is this their super-terrifying adaptability?

Kloya began to observe their body structure, but found that their structure was extremely simple. If there was anything wrong, it was only the outer layer of cuticle that had some problems.

There are some strange patterns and traces inside, which are different from all the magic patterns known to Croa so far, and seem to be naturally formed.

It seems to have some refraction effect, and the devil's wind is bounced back when it collides with it.

He quickly recorded all the magic patterns and planned to draw them on armor to experiment later.

By the way, wait for them to move all the things to the mother nest, then sprinkle salt on them to make sure that all the demonic magic inside is gone before sending them to the mother nest for consumption.

After eating half a ton of food, the mother nest's appetite finally subsided a little, and it began to "produce" species called springtails.

Of course, during this process, Kloya used the Astral Body Imprinting Technique to observe its changes, watching the larvae carrying the "drawings" change in the eggs.

The body structure of these larvae is very special, with almost unlimited elasticity and growth ability, and both bones and organs can be formed quickly.

It really is as if the golem "grew" out.

Finally, with a "bang" the egg burst open, several springtails crawled out of it, ran to Cloya's side and lay down obediently.

There is no trace of violence or pain in their expressions. They are like a blank sheet of paper that can be painted on at will.

Of course, Cloya started trying without hesitation.

He wanted to try out what level of magic these guys could carry at most?
Also, is it true that the magic pattern on their shell is the only source of their ability to adapt to the environment?
