Chapter 1188: Mutations

Joan Ke didn't plan to fight the scavengers closely, and he didn't need to take antiviral drugs. He took out a small piece of black agate and cast a "mage nether palm".
As soon as they were ready for contingency, Medea's worries became true, and across a wall of flames, three dark shadows were rapidly approaching.
Accompanied by a sharp piercing bug, the three scavengers ran into the wall of fire almost at the same time, tolerating the pain of the flames, peristaltic and bloated body, forcibly broke through the wall of the fire, and swooped towards Joan where they were come.
Audrey and Hailar quickly rushed forward with their swords, and each stopped a scavenger.
Holden didn't care about playing his flute at this moment, he pulled out his magic pistol and fired frequently, trying to stop the monster from approaching.
Unfortunately, bad luck, even three shots failed to trigger an enchantment special effect, a small bullet hit the huge worm body, the damage caused is far from enough to repel strong and fierce scavengers.
Qiao An timely controlled the "Mage Nether Palm" to help Holden share the pressure. He pressed the third scavenger's head and pushed hard to push the monster back to the fire wall.
The taste of the being roasted by fire is really uncomfortable. The scavengers instinctively curl up to increase the friction between themselves and the surface, avoid being pushed by the hand against the wall of the fire, and at the same time furiously flicking the tentacles and frantically hitting the hand. The smelly green paralyzed venom splashed like rain!
"Mage Nether Palm" is essentially a group of negative energy constrained by the shell of the force field. There is no substance of flesh and blood, and of course it will not be affected by paralytic toxins. Trouble, try my best to remote control the giant palm, still unable to promote the heavy monster.
"It shouldn't be!"
Joan scratched his head.
The weight of the scavengers, through the wrestling just now, he has already weighed out.
The geometric model of the scavenger insects curled up into a mass, the ground contact area, and the general coefficient of friction on the ground surface, he can use his brain to calculate it.
According to the calculation results, the "Mage Ghost Palm" with 20 points of strength should not be difficult to push the scavengers. How can that guy stay still?
With confusion in his head, Joan raised his hand and twisted the lamp head on the helmet, hit the searchlight beam to the contact area of ​​the scavenger and the surface, and took a closer look at the light, his eyes twitched.
Nima! Turns out you are cheating!
Qiao An originally thought he had calculated the friction, but the facts showed that his calculation was not wrong, but he ignored an important factor.
The scavenger's abdomen secretly secrets a lot of mucus, like strong glue, which closely bonds its body to the rough surface, which greatly enhances the friction, and it is no wonder that it cannot be pushed.
Joan stared angrily at the big worm that glued himself to the ground, wondering if he would hit it with a "fireball".
However, when I thought about it, I had a new idea and decided to take advantage of this guy's lie on the ground and experiment with the spell taught by Moriarty.
Joan grabbed a handful of fine sand on the spot and used "sub-mystery" to split his consciousness.
The main consciousness is focused on maintaining the "Mage Nether Palm", while the secondary consciousness casts the 3rd Ring Necromantic spell "Sand of Time" and transmits the spell effect to the scavenger through the "Mage Nether Palm".
"Vanwa!"
Qiao An chanted a spell that symbolized the passage of time and decay, and then raised the dust in his hand.
Negative energy emerged from the turbid sand and dust, like a cold undercurrent, injected into the scavenger through the "Mage Nether Palm", making the monster instantly 40 years old.
The lifespan of insect-shaped creatures is usually relatively short, so the proverb "Mayfly grow old overnight" will be passed on to the world.
According to Joan's expectations, the average life span of scavengers should not be much longer. The scavenger eaten by him at this moment is already in adulthood, and he is 40 years old. Even if he does not die on the spot, he must at least be too old to crawl.
However, the effect of the spell is completely beyond Joan's expectations.
The scavengers were deprived of the life of forty years by the "sand of time", instead of showing the trend of aging, they became thicker and the body length has nearly doubled!
The scene in front of him surprised Joan. He quickly used "Higher Endoscopy" to examine why scavengers would become like this.
The result of the investigation made him cry and laugh.
Adult scavengers get caught in the "sand of time", and they have temporarily evolved into a "mature scavenger", which not only doubled in size, but also gained 4 additional power and physique enhancements!
This is really self-defeating!
This unexpected result initially made Joan feel a little embarrassed, but he became happy in the blink of an eye, as if opening a door to a new world!
It turns out that in addition to the standard usage of accelerated aging, "Sand of Time" can also promote the growth of certain species with particularly long life, such as scavengers!
Adult scavengers grow 40 years old, but only by an increase in age, they have evolved into adult scavengers.
From this, it is not difficult to estimate that although scavengers look like short-lived worms, they are actually a fairly long-lived creature with an average life expectancy of not less than 200 years!
A large, low-intelligence worm can still live for so long, but the average life span of contemporary humans is only 50 years old.
Joanne has to admit a cold reality: the average lifespan of a race does not entirely depend on the degree of civilization.
Despite the distracting thoughts, Joan looked up at the giant worm that had been cooked by his unintentional casting.
Fortunately, the intelligence level of scavengers did not increase significantly with age, feeling dazed by the drastic changes in themselves, and still huddled together in a daze.
After thinking about it, Jo Anlo decided not to kill the adult scavenger for the time being, but instead cast a 3-ring spell "Dominant Insect" to try to control its spirit.
"Dominant insects" can only take effect on insects in theory, but there is a vague area here, that is, creatures with a special bloodline of "insect-shaped subspecies", can they be classified as insects?
If the biological taxonomy is strictly followed, the answer is no.
But Joan had experimented on the Lingling spider Lingling, and the "dominant insects" could also play a role in her abyss demons with arachnid characteristics, but the effect was not so obvious.
Inspired by that experiment, Joan made some adjustments to the "Dominant Insect" spell configuration after returning to school, reducing the duration of the spell from "day" to "hour". unit.
The saved magic power is used to expand the scope of the subject, and is no longer limited to insects in the standard sense. It is applicable to all creatures with "insect-shaped subspecies".
