Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.

So, Wayne immediately collected all the materials and tools he had already searched through from the room's storage cabinet.

After taking it, leave the room and head to the apprentice laboratory.

Soon, a few minutes later, Wayne arrived at the apprentice laboratory in the Wizard Tower, from a bottle containing a solution of "preservative active liquid".

Take out the tongue of the giant armored anteater that we had collected earlier, pick it up with tweezers, and place it on the lab table.

Because after the long tongue was cut out of the anteater's mouth, it was kept in a solution bottle of "preservative active liquid".

Therefore, it still maintains good physiological activity, and the blood vessels and muscle fibers on the surface are still fresh.

It's still on the lab bench, gently wriggling.

Next, Wayne placed several experimental materials, including [Iron Element Potion], [Iron Blade forelimb of the Bladewing Mantis], [Extract of Nerve Vine], and [Thorn Grass], aside for later use.

"The first step is to modify the giant armored anteater's tongue..."

Wayne recalled the steps described in the wizarding magic book and began the first step.

He took the bottle of dark reddish-brown, viscous iron solution and unscrewed the stopper.

Then, I took a syringe-like tool from the side and drew iron solution from the iron solution bottle.

The injection was performed by puncturing along the main muscle bundles and elastic fascia layers inside the giant armored anteater's long tongue.

The activated iron particles in the medicine are injected deep into the structure of the tongue.

This process lasted for nearly twenty minutes.

The color of the tongue gradually changes from pink to a dark, metallic red.

Furthermore, its texture has become more durable.

After completing this step, Wayne then began to deal with the forelimbs of the Bladewing Mantises.

Using tools such as tweezers and scissors, disassemble the iron blade and the tendon and chitinous spring structure at its base responsible for "ejection-locking".

Then, on the enhanced anteater's tongue, the sides and the midline of its back were selected.

Using a sterilized scalpel, several shallow, longitudinal incisions were made without damaging the major muscles. The tendon ends of the iron blade were then sutured together with specific muscles inside the tongue.

Then, with the sharp iron blade facing outwards, carefully push it into the elastic muscle sheath inside the tongue.

Each sac entrance is guarded by strong muscles.

It should be kept closed under normal circumstances to ensure that the iron blade does not slip out accidentally.

"Next, the generation and fusion of thorns and barbs..."

After grinding the thorn grass, Wayne mixed it with a basic experimental material called "slime's transparent slime" to create a gray solution.

Then, throw the giant armored anteater's tongue inside and place a few magic stones around it.

Wayne closed his eyes and began chanting obscure and incomprehensible incantations.

At the same time, he cast the Spirit Binding Silk and began to draw a magic array on the surface of the giant armored anteater's tongue.

This is a simple form of witchcraft that resembles an "extract-convert-function" effect... or rather, it's not even a witchcraft trick at all.

It's just a simple application of mental power.

Wayne used Spirit Binding Threads to connect several magic stones placed around him, with the ends attached to the tongue of the giant armored anteater.

The energy elements in the magic stone were continuously extracted and gathered inside the tongue of the giant armored anteater along the Spirit Binding Silk.

Under the catalytic effect of the magic stone's energy, the long tongue, immersed in the thorn grass grinding solution, continuously absorbs the thorn grass grinding liquid.

Furthermore, it merges with the iron elements originally injected deep into the tissue structure, gradually "growing" from the inside out dense, hard, dark gray metallic barbs.

"Finally, this is achieved by establishing neurons on the tongue and connecting them to the tongue's own muscle and nerve tissue..."

I recall the final step in processing tongue materials described in the "Thorns Tongue" skill book.

Next, Wayne took the bottle of nerve vine extract.

It emitted a faint fluorescent glow, and there was also a faint, flickering light, like electrical signals, that emanated from the neural tissue.

Wayne unscrewed the bottle stopper and used tweezers to remove the tongue of the giant armored anteater, which had already fused with the thorn grass, and placed it on the table.

The extract was poured onto the surface of the giant armored anteater's tongue, and the [Spirit Binding Silk] magic trick was used to form several tentacles.

The extract is carefully "laid out" along the key pathways of the tongue, much like drawing an circuit diagram.

It connects the muscle nodes that control the ejection of the iron blade, the mimicry nerve endings that sense external contact, and the motor center of the entire tongue.

The active ingredients in the extract penetrate and solidify along these pathways.

To form a biomimetic bioelectric signal network that can be directly coupled with mental energy.

At the same time, Wayne used a sharp blade to perform special treatment on the base of his tongue.

An activation cross section is reserved for fusion with the skin and flesh of one's own arm through a "bio-interface".

Now, looking at the processed main tongue of the giant armored anteater on the experimental table in front of me.

Its surface was completely unrecognizable, covered with sharp barbs and blades, and Wayne's eyes revealed a satisfied look.

Next, the processed and modified tongue of the giant armored anteater was implanted into his arm.

Wayne used a dagger to cut his finger and drip a few drops of blood onto the joint at the base of his tongue.

Then, he placed his hands lightly on the top and focused all his mind on it.

A massive surge of spiritual power erupted like a tidal wave, imprinting itself along the newly constructed biological neural network.

"You simply need a mental strength of 5.0 to learn this sorcery trick, because just applying the mental imprint now requires sufficient mental strength!"

Feeling the intense depletion of his spiritual energy, Wayne sighed.

If one's mental strength is insufficient, it is impossible to apply a sufficiently strong mental imprint to the modified tongue of the giant armored anteater.

Next, with the help of the [Honeycomb] intelligence, Wayne will use a complex set of control instructions.

This includes maintaining the basic form, rapid ejection, retrieval, ejection of the iron blade in whole or in segments, stimulation of thorn and barb growth, and adjustment of direction.

Just like a programmer writing code, everything was "recorded" into every key node of this biological weapon.

This process was extremely mentally taxing, and sweat soaked through Wayne's hair.

Two hours passed.

When the last control node was lit up and connected, Wayne felt a sense of "manipulation".

It felt like I had an extra arm.

As Wayne's mind stirred.

hiss--!

The giant armored anteater's tongue, like a winding tentacle, clung to the shoulder of his left arm.

It coils tightly and obediently around one's forearm, its color becoming similar to the surrounding skin.

It looked like... a strange, dark bracer covered in blades and spikes.

Furthermore, the area at the base of the tongue begins to rapidly intertwine and fuse with the skin and flesh of one's own arm.

Flesh and blood grow, nerves connect, blood vessels connect...

Under the power of witchcraft, this process was compressed into a few minutes, ultimately forming a tough exotrophic weapon... Thorn Tongue!
