Chapter 2602: Insect spirit

This person is about three and a half feet tall, and Qiao An would have thought it was a dark-skinned dwarf if he hadn't noticed the psionic fluctuations from his body.
Out of curiosity, I took a second look and found that the person had the characteristics of insects. The large and raised eyes were clearly a pair of compound eyes. There were two tentacles shaking from time to time on the forehead, without hair and skin. Instead, they were replaced. It is the smooth stratum corneum that wraps the whole body.
Qiao An stared at this half-human and half-beetle little guy, and the first thing he thought of was "Insect Man", but Insect Man didn't have any psionic talent.
After inquiring about Gnostic's memory, he revised his initial judgment and guessed that it was a "worm spirit."
"Insect spirit" is an aboriginal in the gloomy region. It is a half-human and half-worm creature with Cosette, the moth girl in Huayuan Township, but there is no genetic relationship, and it does not belong to the category of "fairies" in species classification. It is a "humanoid monster".
Compared with the characteristics of insects, Chong Ling actually has more human characteristics, and the biggest difference from humanoids is that they have a hermaphroditic physiological structure.
The society of worm spirits is similar to a swarm of bees. Except for the queen and a handful of queen’s spouses, other worm spirits have no gender, and there is no obvious tendency of good and evil. They are typical neutral creatures.
As a kind of psionic creatures that build nests and live in groups in the underground world, the origin of worm spirits is still an unsolved mystery.
Some mind-savers claimed that their ancestors used psionic surgery to integrate insect genes into the dwarf body, creating the "worm spirit" race, just as they used similar methods to create the Gisyanki, Giszelai, Dilo dwarves and stone-blind barbarians.
However, Qiao An searched through the memories of Isaac and Gnostic, and found no conclusive evidence of the creation of the worm spirit by the Mind Reaver. Worm spirits are more likely to be the native species of the underground world, but they also happen to have psychic talents, and unfortunately become neighbors of the mind-severs.
Odice’s mind-savers often send "slavery hunters" to attack nearby worms’ nests and capture such clever little creatures to serve as slaves.
In the slave market that Qiao An visited before, there were also insect spirits for sale. It is said that the transaction price of one insect spirit is worth five underground gnomes or seven dwarves.
The reason why worm spirits are particularly popular in slave auctions is that they are clever and well-behaved and their brains are particularly delicious. Another major advantage is their psionic talent.
The vast majority of adult worm spirits can spontaneously open up a "psychic pool", and can also awaken a Tier 1 psychic power called "energy ray".
The "energy ray" is similar to the "frozen ray" in arcane arts, but it is not limited to ice attributes, but can also be switched to other attributes such as fire, electricity, and sound waves. The more psionic points invested during the manifestation of energy, the "energy ray" The more powerful it is.
The little insect spirit on the opposite side seemed to perceive Qiao'an's sight, dexterously passed through the crowd, and ran over with a smile and took the initiative to chat with him.
"Dear master, the younger one is named Bobo. He is a waiter on the first floor of the arena. What do you call it?"
"Gnostic." Qiao An answered quietly.
"Oh! Master Gnostic, I've heard of your name!" Bobo patted his forehead, and the tentacles on his forehead quivered. "It's rare that you have Yaxing come to the arena to watch the game today. Would you like to make a bet? ?"
"Not interested." Qiao An refused without expression.
Not reconciled yet, Bobo smiled and persuaded Qiao An to place a bet, and found that he was showing an impatient look, putting away his smile as if by magic, and putting on a pitiful look.
"Master Nos, it's true that it is true that my master, Metatron, intends to promote a shrewd, capable and willing servant from the second- and third-class servants, to make up for the lack of the servants around him, and to provide the servants for this purpose. Asked a question, whoever can earn the most casino rake in a month will be promoted."
"When I am young, I really want to seize this opportunity to change my destiny. Unfortunately, my performance is not good and I have to work harder!"
"Master Noss, you put a bet. Not only did you have a chance to win, but you also helped me. If the younger I can get ahead, I will definitely repay your kindness in the future!"
"You are ambitious and want to climb up, want to hold the thigh of the'Princess Ling Su', what is my business?"
Joanne imitated Gnostic's tone and sneered at the little insect who dreamed of becoming a "first-class pro-family".
"You get the chance to be promoted by Master Metatron, just like the poor little dwarf in the duel has a low chance of defeating the ogre. Am I guilty of investing in you? And even if you can really get ahead, it won't necessarily happen. Keep your promises, know your gratitude and report."
"Oh! My dear lord! You can find someone in the arena to inquire about it, who doesn't praise me but believes it!"
The insect spirit danced with excitement, and its tentacles kept shaking, as if his reputation had been tarnished.
"Master Gnostic, please forgive me for my offense. If the younger one remembers correctly, you should still be a "vagant" right now?"
Bobo leaned closer to Qiao An, lowered his voice, his twinkling compound eyes showed a secret and pleasing look.
"Of course, you know, sir. If I can be the companion of Lord Metatron, I will have the opportunity to say a few good things for you in front of my master. If I can win the appreciation of an elder of the cardinal, I will treat you well. Citizenship of Diss is not without benefits, my lord!"
This sounded reasonable, but Qiao Ann did not forget that he was playing the weird "fasting" Gnostic.
This guy is born with a poisonous tongue, his mouth is sour and mean, and good things come out of his mouth with a ridiculous taste, and he is the standard "strength" character, even if he admits that you are right, the mouth There are also two sentences on the bar, which is particularly annoying.
"Stop playing tricks with me!" Qiao Ann waved his hand angrily, "Your name is Bobo, right? You are very proficient with the words you just said to me. Didn't you use this set of words to attract business? Huh, do you think Will I be fooled!"
"No, no! Master Nosti, I swear to speak the truth!" Bobo jumped anxiously.
"It's alright, don't talk nonsense, I want to ask you something. I heard that your insect spirit clan has very flexible tentacles. Is this true?"
According to the memories of Isaac and Gnostic, Joan learned that the tentacles of the worm spirits are like the tentacles of the mind-severs, and the eye stalks of the beholders can replace the fingers for precision operations.
As a young scholar who has made great achievements in the field of insect research, he is very interested in this rumor. He can't help but wonder whether the two ring-shaped antennae on the top of Bobo's head are as flexible as his own eye stalks...
Wait, I don't seem to have any eye stalks now? !
Qiao An caressed the four long beard-like tentacles under his jaw, and missed the ten eye stalks that he had lost after his transformation, just as a young mental man who was young and bald missed the hair he once had, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
