Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.

Chapter 87: Deploying to a Known Plane, Our Zerg Will Continue to Survive!

Next, large swaths of vague text appeared before his eyes, many of which were not in the language of this wizarding world.

Because in the wizarding world I live in, the most common wizarding language is ancient Arabic, a script similar to English symbols from my previous life.

The Zerg script extracted before us has very peculiar shapes and symbols, full of strange stripes and tadpole-like patterns, like scribbles.

"Is it possible to parse the text content?"

Wayne asked the [Hive] intelligence.

Despite not having much hope, since there was no linguistic information related to this Zerg, I still tried to speak.

[Comparing relevant text materials... Comparison failed, no current text content information detected!]

"All right..

"7

Wayne was not surprised by the result.

So, Wayne stared at the string of scribbles in front of him, and then at the cipher disk composed of a network of veins.

After thinking for a moment, Wayne tried inputting them one by one, using his mind to trace the symbols on the cipher disk.

Unexpectedly, after just the third paragraph of text was entered, the network of vascular patterns on the keyboard suddenly made a soft "poof" sound.

Immediately afterwards, the blood vessels burst open, gushing out pale black blood, and a strange-looking insect crawled out of it, which looked very much like the insectoid corpse.

After crawling out of the cipher disk, it lingered in place for a while before suddenly flapping its wings and swooping down to bite Wayne in the face.

Wayne was startled and instinctively tried to back away from the scene, but a sharp pain shot through his mind, as if he had been bitten by something.

Immediately afterwards, Wayne returned to the real-world scene.

At this moment, the insect corpse in front of them cracked open with a snapping sound, and then its shell broke apart, revealing a cavity in the middle.

Inside were three milky-white insect eggs, which seemed to be alive and exuding a sense of life.

Upon seeing the three insect eggs inside, Wayne paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something and came up with a guess.

"Could it be... that the Hive Intelligence detected the state of apparent death in this insect corpse because of the abnormal energy residue emitted by the three insect eggs inside?"

Wayne's eyes lit up with realization.

"So, what's the deal with these three insect eggs? And this insect corpse, could it just be some kind of transport vehicle used to carry the eggs, serving a protective function, similar to a shell or armor?"

Wayne guessed.

Based on the text I had seen in that vast and magnificent starry sky scene, I deduced the content from the fragmented information.

Next, facing the three insect eggs, Wayne did not act rashly. Instead, he closed the insect corpses again and placed them back in the old box.

She turned back to an old castle near the forest—the experimental territory that Isabel had built for herself.

Before leaving, Wayne flicked his wrist and threw out several potion bottles from his wizard's sleeve, splashing them onto the ground around him.

Click—!

After the medicine bottle broke, the liquid inside quickly spilled out, covering the surrounding ground and emitting a faint, luminous green light, like the color of houttuynia cordata.

This is an antidote that can eliminate and neutralize the germ residue left in the surrounding woods after the stinging flies have shot at the grass.

After all, I just conducted an experiment here, and since it was before I left, I naturally needed to clean up the scene.

Otherwise, as more and more toxins accumulate here in the future, it will easily cause plagues, infectious diseases, and the like.

Before leaving, Wayne cleaned up the scene, removing any residual liquids and toxins from his test attack mode.

Soon, twenty minutes later.

After returning to the laboratory in the castle, Wayne placed the box on the table.

Then, after putting on a pair of protective silver gloves, I opened the box, first removing the insect carcasses inside, and then using tweezers to take out the three insect eggs.

Place it in the petri dish next to it.

Wayne originally wanted to try connecting the three insect eggs with the Spirit Binding Silk and use Hive Intelligence to detect their internal structure.

Let's see what's going on inside.

However, to be on the safe side and to be cautious, after thinking about it, Wayne first projected an armed spiky fly from his mind, which hovered in front of his eyes.

Then, a wisp of spiritual energy was separated and transmitted to the body of the armed thorn fly in front of him through the Spirit Binding Thread.

Then, the armed spiky fly attempts to connect to the eggs in front of it.

Next, Wayne used the synchronization function of the [Hive] intelligence to conduct indirect detection, using the Armed Stinger as a transit point.

In this way, even if any problems arise, one can promptly sever the mental connection with the armed stinging flies, thus building a "firewall" between oneself and the eggs in front of one's eyes.

This is a new ability Wayne developed regarding the Swarm Network, which involves splitting off a portion of his psychic power and having it inherited by the Armored Stingers.

Then, through the Hive Network's control over the swarm, it indirectly manipulates the armed stinging fly to perform a series of operations using mental power.

Next, when a faint wisp of spiritual energy, differentiated from the Armed Stinging Fly, began to probe one of the three insect eggs in front of it.

As a result, as soon as they made contact...

Suddenly, his mental energy disappeared into the sponge like water being absorbed by a sponge.

Furthermore, the subsequent spiritual energy was also pulled away by something and absorbed entirely.

It was only a short while.

The wisp of spiritual power that had separated from the Armored Stinger Fly had been completely devoured and absorbed.

The mental connection between myself and the stinging fly was severed.

"What?!"

Upon seeing the situation before him, Wayne was stunned, staring at the insect egg that had devoured the wisp of spiritual power that he had just separated.

Then Wayne frowned.

Thinking back to when Mentor Morse handed these insect eggs to him, he mentioned their "devouring" properties.

And later, when I connected to and examined that insect skeleton myself.

Based on the structure and physiological structure of its mouthparts, the scan revealed that the current insect corpse possesses the rudimentary biological organs capable of directional absorption and conversion of external energy.

It is speculated that it may possess the ability to devour magic power, life essence, and even material structures, and transform them into its own energy.

Now it seems... these insect eggs also have the ability to devour mental energy?

Fortunately, I had been cautious and used the stinging fly as a relay, using it as a launch point to generate mental energy for detection.

Otherwise, if I had used my mental power to probe, I might have encountered some danger. Fortunately, I was cautious enough.

However, these insect corpses in front of us are really powerful. They are only in the egg stage now, yet they can devour mental energy.

If they grow up and can be used for my purposes in the future... Wayne frowned slightly, feeling that these mysterious insect eggs were not simple.
