Mage Joan

Comparing the physical properties of the two large spiders, it is not difficult to see that the variant spiders are slightly stronger than the giant ordinary spiders in all aspects.

Looking at each attribute alone, the advantages of the variant spider are not obvious, but the combination of the six attributes, the advantage is like a snowball, opening a decisive gap.

Among all these attributes, the most critical one is undoubtedly the gap in intelligence.

The intelligence attribute of the mutant spider is only 1, which does not seem worth mentioning. However, most of the higher creatures that occupy the head position on the evolutionary chain, such as reptiles, have only 1 intelligence.

As for insect creatures, due to the relatively simple physiological structure, a perfect brain has not yet been formed, and the intelligence level cannot reach even one point.

The intelligence of the giant spider still meets the standards of common insects.

In contrast, the mutant spider is completely in a position of crushing IQ. It is not a problem to slap this distant relative with a well-developed limb and a simple mind.

Just as Joan recorded the observation data, the mutant spider had injected a sufficient amount of venom into the prey, paralyzing it, and could only twitch and wait to die.

When the blood of the giant spider was dissolved by the venom, the mutant spider drank delicious soup with a "straw", and soon sucked the prey into an empty shell, supporting the stomach round and resting on the ground with satisfaction.

Shortly thereafter, the debris of the spider sucked into an empty shell contracted sharply, reverting to the size of a normal spider.

Joan controlled the clock in the laboratory and confirmed that from the time when the spider is enlarged by the giant wand and killed by the mutant spider, a total of 11 minutes have passed, which is exactly the duration of the "giant insect".

Now that the spell has expired, the magic power has been exhausted, and the spider's body has returned to its original shape.

Joan's eyes turned to the mutant spider that was dozing.

The weight of flesh it has just sucked is much larger than the actual weight of ordinary spiders. Where did the extra flesh come from?

Joan pondered slightly, guessing that most of it was generated by the magic of "giant worm".

Joan sorted out the experimental data. Five or six minutes passed, and the "giant insect technique" applied to the mutant spider also reached the time limit.

The moment the magic was exhausted, a miraculous scene appeared before Joan.

On the mutant spider, a miracle of rejuvenation occurred.

As if back in time, just a few seconds later, this huge spider degenerated from an adult into a large fist egg.

The eggs lay quietly on the floor, and the spiritual connection with Joan was cut off.

"Giant insect surgery, itself does not need to cast materials, nor will it consume the eggs that are the target of the operation."

Joan recorded what he observed, and thus started to associate.

Since the worm eggs are not spell-casting consumables, it is likely that the worm eggs are still alive after the spell ends.

In order to verify his speculation, Joan opened the storage bag and took out the "perspective hand mirror".

Observing through the hand mirror, Joan confirmed that the eggs of the mutant spider were indeed alive.

This means that the eggs can be used as the target of "giant worm" before hatching, which is equivalent to the recyclable casting materials.

"It would be better if the eggs kept their current state, neither dying nor hatching."

Joan muttered to himself.

Once the eggs hatch into larvae, their size will exceed the standard, and the "giant insect technique" will not work.

Is there a way to keep the eggs dormant for a long time, neither dying nor hatching?

After a little thought, Joan thought of cryogenic freezing naturally.

In low-temperature environments, the physiological activity of some eggs will drop to a very low level, stop hatching, and enter a state similar to hibernation, so as not to be frozen to death.

Do mutant spider eggs have this hibernation feature?

In addition, how to create a low-temperature environment suitable for insect egg hibernation?

A series of thoughts appeared in Joan's mind, and a clever idea gradually formed.

However, now that we are not in a hurry to consider these things, we must seize the time and make the most of the laboratories rented out.

Joan turned back to the next room, picked up the metal jar on the bench, released the "secret lock", and unscrewed the bottle cap.

This tightly sealed jar contains a lot of eggs of different colors.

The small ones are like broad beans, and the big ones are comparable to eggs.

These eggs were the spoils that Joan had obtained from this "Druid of the Condemned" after the killing of the "herder man" Idar.

Joan has always suspected that Idar used these eggs to set off a "worm disaster" in the Yalfheim area and destroy local agricultural production.

Prior to this, Joan couldn't figure out what method Idar used to transform the eggs into mature giant worms and control them.

Up to this moment, after a series of experiments, he had a deeper understanding of the "giant insect technique", and naturally made a guess.

The secret of Idal’s manipulation of pests is likely to be closely related to “giant insect surgery”!

In order to further verify his conjecture, Joan decided to experiment with these sealed eggs.

There are about a hundred or so eggs in the jar, which belong to four different types of insects.

Big stag beetles, bombarded giant beetles, giant wasps, and earthworms.

The first three giant insects are similar to "variant spiders", and the species is between "insect creatures" and "magic beasts", and is more inclined to the former.

The situation of the "ground worm" is slightly different. Although the appearance and habits are similar to insects, it is actually closer to the "magic beast".

Since the "giant insect technique" is effective for "variant spider eggs", and so on, this spell should also be effective for "big stag beetles", "projectile giant beetles" and "giant wasps".

But is it also effective for bug-shaped magic beasts such as "ground worms"?

Joan had no idea.

For reasons of stability, he decided to divide the four types of eggs into two groups for testing.

Joan first took out one egg each of the big stag beetle, the giant bomb beetle, and the giant wasp, and brought it into the next testing ground and placed it on the floor.

Scrubbing the giant bug wand, Joan recalled the spell configuration of "Giant Worm" before he started casting spells.

"Giant insect" can turn multiple insects or eggs into giant insects, the specific number is proportional to the level of the caster.

"Giant Bug Wand" was made by the old blind man. The cast level is fixed to the level of the old blind man when he made the wand, which is the 8th level druid.

In addition, the amber ball embedded in the magic wand has an enhanced effect on the "giant insect", and it has an additional 3 caster levels with a combined caster level of 11.

Calculated in this way, each time the "giant insect technique" is activated with a magic wand, up to 11 insects or eggs can be turned into giant insects.

However, the spell configuration also has an implicit constraint that these targets must belong to the same family.
