Wizard's Journey

Chapter 466 Insect River World

With a "poof" sound!

Deep in the scorching desert, a sand spring gushes forth from the ground.

As the yellow sand settled, a figure in a wide black wizard's robe fluttered as Grimm floated in mid-air, gazing at the visually distorted scene of the endless desert amidst the swirling, boiling air.

In the bottles on Green's left, dozens of different kinds of freshly collected insect specimens were frozen.

"If this is truly a world controlled by parasites, the chances of an intelligent biological society ruling the entire world under such rules are extremely small, making the journey back much easier."

Judging from the fact that the giant beast that swallowed Grimm had swallowed him, the biodiversity of this world is undeniable.

Therefore, Green was certain that this world was not the Desert Melody World, but a strange world rich in life.

Following one direction, Green flew off.

At this moment, the horsefly in Green's body had gradually recovered from its drunken, dizzy, and weak state.

Although horseflies possess the wondrous and incredible ability to influence the code of life, in essence, they are merely an ordinary, low-level insect creature in the natural world of the wizarding world.

It was only because Green's wizarding wisdom amplified this tiny ability infinitely that it seemed to possess some kind of amazing power.

To put it simply, horseflies are merely low-end herbivorous creatures in the insect world, and their actual position in the insect food chain is negligible.

But even so...

It's truly unbelievable that such a lowly insect in the natural world could affect the symbiotic worm that Green had cultivated for hundreds of years with the wisdom of wizards.

If it weren't for Green's eagerness to return and see if he could still have a chance to try and obtain the "Flame Soul True Scripture" in the Flame Soul World, the insect characteristics that evolved under the strange rules of that world would be worth Green's careful study.

The number of world nodes in a world is not fixed, and the nodes also vary in size.

Large world nodes are generally locations similar to the center of the world, the eye of the world, the mouth of the world, and the tail of the world.

Such world nodes are either desolate and worthless, or closely guarded by the world's guardians; they are all extremely special locations within the world.

The remaining smaller world nodes all share the same characteristics: abundant natural resources and a concentration of biological populations. Intelligent beings often choose such places to build cities.

The weak spatiotemporal boundaries of world nodes mean that, for the purpose of self-protection, the internal rules of the world will tend to favor these places. Thus, with each slight tilt of the rules, resources are relatively concentrated and disasters are relatively few, which attracts a large number of organisms to gather.

After a long flight, the sky began to darken, and night fell over the world.

"Searching for world nodes in this way without any clear direction relies too much on luck."

A chilly wind blew as Green flew over the desert, exhaling a breath of cold air and muttering to himself.

The temperature difference between day and night in this desert is too great, far exceeding the temperature limit of the wizarding world, but for a formal wizard, as long as it has not formed a natural disaster, it will generally not have a great impact.

crackling sounds...

The scorching sand, heated during the day, exploded with sounds like bursting sparks as the temperature dropped sharply at night. The sounds of explosions were continuous and could be heard from near and far.

"Um?"

Looking up casually, Green was suddenly stunned. His eagle eyes beneath the mask of truth emitted a dazzling light, revealing a look of shock.

"A river of insects?"

buzzing buzzing...

The cracking sound of sand and gravel in the desert perfectly masked the sound of the vast, star-like river of insects flying high in the sky, piercing through the entire world's skies.

Thus, it was only then that Green looked up by chance and discovered the endless river of insects that seemed to be against a backdrop of countless stars.

They seem to be fighting each other?

It seems that some sorcerers who rely on symbiotic insects for combat would raise and cultivate these insects, allowing them to multiply and fight each other, eventually creating a terrifying and vicious swarm.

The wizard's innate curiosity urged Green to fly upwards to take a look, but Green's reason prevented him from doing such a foolish thing.

I am afraid……

If there truly is a world ruler in this world, he would be hidden within that vast river of insects that stretches across the entire sky. It would be far too dangerous for an anomaly like Grimm to approach it rashly.

Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance that there's no world ruler, in this worm river alone, the insignificant Green is just a grain of sand in the desert.

"This world would be quite aptly named the Insect River World."

Beneath the mask of truth, Grimm's eyes flickered. The number of insects in the Sky Worm River had probably reached the level of the materialization of the world's primordial will!

The so-called fundamental will of the world refers to the common will and tendency of organisms within the world. At this moment, this worm river has undoubtedly completely influenced the will of the entire world, far more thoroughly than the influence of the snow worms in the nest world.

After a while, Green stopped paying attention to the vast river of insects that stretched across the world and continued flying forward.

As the sky gradually brightened, the desert in Green's view slowly transformed into a Gobi desert with scattered vegetation.

An oasis appeared in Green's field of vision.

This is a semi-circular mountain range, with snow-capped peaks. The large amount of water vapor is constantly intercepted by this arc-shaped mountain range, which forms this oasis.

The green lake resembles a piece of jade, with its waters quietly converging among the mountains.

"We found a world node so quickly. Our luck is beyond words."

Greene flew in mid-air, excitedly muttering to himself, instinctively sensing the relative fragility of this spacetime boundary.

"It's so quiet!"

Green noticed something strange.

Logically speaking, this place should be a gathering place for creatures from the vicinity of this world, and even the quiet before dawn should not be this eerily silent.

Through continuous observation and searching, Green discovered many native creatures of this world in this oasis, diverse and numerous.

However, all these creatures, whether herbivorous or carnivorous, were now peacefully asleep, breathing evenly.

Yes, no living thing is active at night!

Just as Green was surprised, as a sliver of light began to appear on the distant horizon, a buzzing sound began to emerge intermittently.

Green looked up and saw a swarm of insects flying down from the sky, returning from the Insect River to this oasis.

These flying insects number in the millions or tens of millions, densely packed and countless. However, compared to the vast and endless number of insects in the river of insects, these insects are but a drop in the ocean, a grain of sand in the desert.

These insects, or rather parasites, flew back into the bodies of every lifeless, sleeping creature in an orderly fashion, burrowing into their ears, noses, mouths, and even skin.

With no trace of insects remaining in the sky, this once eerie and silent oasis finally began to come back to life. Creatures began to compete and kill each other, passively evolving, presenting an extremely ordinary ecological scene.

Green floated in mid-air, silently recording everything here with his crystal ball.

Collecting ordinary biological specimens here is meaningless, because they are nothing more than shells, skins. Although they have flesh and blood and souls, and some even possess simple intelligence, the rules of the world have been completely controlled by endless insects.

This world belongs to insects.

Parasites are a prime example; they have successfully evolved into apex predators, standing at the very top of the world and ruling the entire world!

In such a world, parasites would no longer be parasites.

Those creatures attached to parasites are merely skins and food fed by the parasites, much like the mechanical hearts of mechanical wizards.

"The Endless World is truly wondrous. Even those holy-marked wizards can only explore and research supreme knowledge in certain areas, and can never reach the level of profound exploration in every field. Although the wizard civilization is already very powerful, it is still just a grain of sand in the evolution of species over the years compared to the Endless World."

With a sigh, Green began to quietly search for native energy minerals in this oasis region.

Three months later.

Having collected a rich collection of insect specimens, Green stood within a small magic circle, his presence concealed by native energy crystals.

After the six-pointed star magic circle formed a perfect energy cycle within the ring, a dark gray beam of light shot straight into the sky and formed a small vortex black hole.

A low growl.

Green's three-meter-tall body in his second-level wild transformation form flashed along the energy beam and disappeared into the black hole vortex, vanishing from the insect river world he had briefly set foot in.
