Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 236 Changes in the Arcane Swarm

Clearly, Su Nan's act of hanging up the Witcher would enrage all creatures in the energy world, resulting in multiple cultist attacks around the territory.

But they were all easily dealt with by the werewolf inspectors, werewolf deacons, and werewolf messengers.

Three days later, Su Nan had the witcher's corpses collected and sent to his laboratory to begin magical experiments. At the same time, he used a sleeping spell to seal Raphael and Selena, imprisoning them in the dungeon of Peter's Castle as well.

Starting in southern Jiangsu, the arcane swarms of insects, having undergone five ascensions in the underground world, began exploring deeper into the underground in search of a way to enter the next level of the underground world.

Now that Su Nan has become a formal wizard, he naturally has the confidence to do so, and in order to become a second-circle wizard, he must also collect more resources.

Su Nan re-entered the underground rye territory, determined to completely resolve the three major problems left over from the underground world that he couldn't solve on his own, making his backyard incredibly safe.

Walking through the insect capital of southern Jiangsu.

At that time, the entire Rye Underground Domain was already teeming with arcane swarms.

The Arcane Swarm, having undergone five ascensions, has become even more dangerous. The swarm has evolved a spiked tower covered in bone spikes, specifically designed to hatch upgraded Bone Spikes. The power of the Bone Spikes' bone spikes has increased from 0.2 to 0.5.

The bone-spiky high-shooter insect has transformed into a bone-spiky cruiser insect.

Each bone-spiky cruiser can act as a biomass launcher, firing 0.5 rings of bone spikes at enemies 10,000 meters away.

Moreover, each Bone Spike Cruiser can carry 50 of these bone spikes and replenish all the bone spikes fired from its body within a day.

This is currently the backbone of the Arcane Swarm.

As for their positioning, that can be left to the Queens. The Queens, who have undergone five ascensions, have all generated magical pressure, equivalent to first-class wizard apprentices who have generated magical pressure.

They possess the arcane magic system inherited from the Drow.

The Hive Consciousness has analyzed hundreds of Drow arcane spells, simplified them, and selected several commonly used arcane spells: Arcane Shield, Arcane Prophecy, Arcane Missiles, Arcane Blink, Arcane Rebirth, Arcane Arrow, Arcane Communication, Arcane Sense, and Arcane Levitation.

The queens can use arcane communication to command all swarms, and can use arcane perception to locate enemies and order bone spike cruisers to bombard them.

Su Nan looked at the tower in front of him, which was covered with rings of bone spurs, like a spiked finger standing upright, and a bone spur cruiser was crawling out of it.

The modern spiky cruiser beetle no longer resembles the scarab beetle much, except that it has a small golden round shell on its back.

Now, every insect in the Arcane Swarm, no matter what form it has evolved into, will at least retain a small, round, scarab-like shell on its back.

The bone-spiky cruiser worm now resembles an insect with the lower body of a snake and the upper body of an upright animal. It has a pair of limbs that resemble arms, but the ends are not hands, but sickle-like bone blades formed by bone spiky limbs.

They are generally the size of small tanks, covered with huge bone spikes that can be launched using muscle strength and arcane energy.

This special snake-like insect, which looked like it was covered in weapons, made a friendly sound towards Su Nan. After seeing Su Nan, it became very excited and enthusiastic.

In its eyes, Su Nan is the core of the Hive consciousness, even more important than Queen Jinx.

Su Nan could see the distant Insect Capital, the Tyrant Tower that produced Tyrant Scarabs, and the Hatchery that specialized in producing cannon fodder units.

At this point, the Tyrant Scarab had grown to a size and appearance similar to the Hulk, and its entire body was protected by thirty layers of chitinous shell.

Therefore, people in southern Jiangsu simply call it the Tyrant Bug.

The Tyrant Bug is now capable of soloing a veteran Grand Knight.

The Tyrant Worm also possesses arcane magical power, and can utilize the characteristics of arcane magic enchantment to enhance its melee capabilities.

However, this was the evolutionary direction that the swarm itself developed, and Su Nan did not interfere with it much.

The Arcane Swarm, after its fifth ascension, also introduced more cannon fodder units, but there were so many that Su Nan didn't even bother to memorize them.

Because the Arcane Swarm is essentially composed of Queen Jinx – Queen of Insects – Tyrant Insects – Bone Spikes, and the Hive Tower – Queen of Insect Tower – Tyrant Tower – Bone Spikes Tower.

The insects born in the incubation chamber are nothing more than a motley crew of cannon fodder. They are simply the result of the Arcane Swarm's continuous experiments on the next evolutionary direction, and then the accumulated evolutionary results are superimposed on the Tyrant Insect and the Bone Spike Cruiser Insect.

Jinx stepped out of the Zergling Tower, using arcane levitation to accompany Su Nan, proudly patrolling the Zerg capital alongside him.

This arcane swarm is currently the largest base cluster.

At this moment, Jinx was enormous, larger than two adult elephants combined, but her appearance remained unchanged.

After folding its wings, it becomes a golden, shell-like sphere, which, due to the arcane magic radiance, looks like a small, floating sun.

Jinx informed Sunan via telepathy, "Great master, leader of the swarm, we conquered the Shadow Spider Forest two days ago."

"All the Shadow Spiders are now under our control."

"Now, apart from the black hole creatures and the gate to that energy world, the entire Rye Domain of the Underworld is under our control. As per your command, the Arcane Swarm is now coexisting with the lizardman monsters of the Underworld."

To be honest, Su Nan's control over the underworld was not as meticulous as his control over the surface world because it was a slave society.

Even so, his rule was far better than that of the Rye Matriarch.

The population of the underworld is showing signs of increasing...

Lizardmen are a particularly prolific race.

As Su Nan walked on the fungal carpet of the Insect Capital, he said to Jinx, "Very good. But we need to find as many entrances as possible to other areas of the Underworld. I need resources, and the Insect Swarm needs to expand."

"We will proceed with the next round of invasion."

"We can invade the underground world before it invades the surface."

Su Nan was initially worried about the existence of the Grand Archmage deeper inside, but now he no longer needs to be wary.

Jinx used arcane magic to levitate, hovering in mid-air. "Very well, Great Lord of the Swarm. It's only a matter of time before we find the entrance to the deeper parts of the Underworld."

"We'll soon find new, intrusive areas!"

"The swarm will continue to expand as long as you wish. It will always advance with you, accompanying you to the ends of the earth."
