Mage Joan

On the third floor of Saul’s laboratory, there is only one exhibit, the giant python-like worm raised in the salt water pool. The large body is coiled in the pool. The mucus secreted by the watch reflects a bright luster under the chandelier.

As if perceiving the sound of footsteps, the giant worm raised its head buried deep in the pool and looked towards the stairs.

Qiao An was able to see the appearance of this strange worm, and he couldn't help but think of the "burrowing grabber" he encountered when he was exploring in the dark area "Earth Navel" tunnel many years ago.

This giant worm looks a lot like an enlarged version of the burrowing grabber, with its head split into four petals, extending out four thick purple tentacles, constantly twisting and swinging.

At the roots of the four tentacles, sharp beak-like mouthparts can be seen faintly, reflecting the characteristics of cephalopods.

Compared with the swollen and split petal-shaped head of the giant insect, its tail is extremely slender. From head to tail, it is about 60 feet long. The overall shape of the large and thin tail resembles a giant tadpole.

tadpole?

Qiao An suddenly had an idea.

A purple tadpole with four tentacles extending from its head, isn't this the larva of the Mind Devil?

At this time, the giant worm in the pool suddenly dropped its head and twisted its body, revealing a posture similar to a child acting coquettishly towards his parents, and at the same time telepathic to Qiao An.

"Ah... relatives, my lucky compatriots, please give me some food, Adam is so hungry..."

"Wow~ this giant worm is begging me for food!"

Metatron raised his tentacles in surprise, apparently receiving telepathy from the giant insect.

"I'm sorry, I made the two distinguished guests laugh. Don't think that I am abusing Adam. This poor child, perhaps because of his unfortunate childhood, he has a psychological shadow and a sickly craving for food, even if not at all. I'm hungry, and I will never let go of the food delivered to my lips."

Dr. Saul explained helplessly.

"You'd better feed him some more brains, otherwise, listening to his endless pleading, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart."

Metatron gazed sympathetically at the begging giant insects in the pool.

"Oh, Lord Metatron, your heart is still so soft, it's really helpless."

Dr. Saul turned around and clapped his hands, temporarily removing the force field barrier surrounding the pool.

Two laboratory assistants pushed the dining cart over and poured the **** brains of the two large basins along the edge of the pool. Before the giant worms approached, they quickly moved away and stared at the pool vigilantly until the force field barrier rose again. , These two heart-removing demons unanimously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Gnostic, please don't get too close to the pool. Adam can pretend to be pitiful, but you can't let your guard down on him."

Dr. Saul stretched out a tentacled and dragged the overly curious Gnostic brothers back from the pool.

"One of my assistants was too careless when he was feeding Adam. He was caught by this guy unexpectedly. He was dragged into the pool and spewed acid to dissolve his body. It was too late when we rushed to save people. The hapless brain has been swallowed by Adam."

Joan obeyed Dr. Saul's admonition and moved a distance from the pool.

At the same time, the giant worm has stretched out four tentacles, flexibly grabbing food, and greedily sucking the brain. This way of eating is exactly the same as the mind-seating demon.

There are various signs that this giant worm named Adam is closely related to the Mind Reaver, either the Mind Reaver tadpole parasitizes on the giant supernatural insect host, or it is simply a variant of the Mind Reaver tadpole.

The following introduction by Dr. Saul confirmed his guess.

"Master Metatron, Brother Gnostic, you can probably also see that Adam is actually a tadpole that has not undergone metamorphosis and is growing and growing."

"According to the tradition of our demons, every citizen in the community will place the egg sacs they lay in the brain pool for unified breeding. Most of the tadpoles will die out if they can’t survive the long development period, and they will be broken down into promotion. In the end, only a very small number of strong and lucky tadpoles can develop and mature, the nutrients that govern the mental metabolism of the brain. With the assistance of adult mind-severs, they leave the brain cistern, implant in the host's body, and finally complete the metamorphosis."

"Yes, this is a stage of growth that we have all experienced personally." Metatron agreed.

"Then naturally a question arises. What will happen if we don't implant mature tadpoles into the host needed for metamorphosis?"

Dr. Saul smiled slightly and asked and answered himself.

"It is with this question that I created a large petri dish in my laboratory with the same ecological environment as the brain pool, except that there is no mastermind. Then I obtained the consent of the great Noah from his brain pool. I selected a batch of mature tadpoles and transferred them to my artificial brain cistern for continuous juvenile experiments."

"What is'continuation of the juvenile state'?" Qiao An played foolishly without losing the opportunity.

"Brothers Gnostic, so-called juvenile persistence, usually refers to the special phenomenon of amphibians staying in the juvenile stage throughout their lives." Dr. Saul explained, "Like the frogs and toads in nature, the demons are actually supernatural amphibians. Biology, so I suspect that our tadpoles may observe the phenomenon of juvenile persistence if certain conditions are met."

"This sounds very interesting, Doctor, your experiment was a success, and Adam... this heart-removing giant is a continuous sample of the larvae of the heart-removing tadpole?"

"Brother Gnostic, what you said is strangely light, but the experiment process was not so smooth. I observed for five full years. I succumbed to three batches of experimental subjects before and after. I did not observe the expected phenomenon. In the end, almost all I'm going to give up this subject, alas, it's so bitter, it's hard to say!"

Dr. Saul sighed.

This kind of waiting for the results of the experiment has never been able to observe any significant frustration. Qiao Ann has also experienced it, empathizing with Dr. Saul's bitterness.

"Doctor, how did you break through this dilemma later?" Metatron asked curiously.

"Haha, I really want to say that with the spark of my own genius, I found a breakthrough with a flash of inspiration. However, this is not true. Frankly speaking, the ultimate success of this experiment can only be attributed to good luck, just a mistake. A coincidence by accident."

Dr. Saul laughed mockingly, and then told Joan and Metatron about the twists and turns in the research.

"In fact, our laboratory was in a financial dilemma at the time, and it was almost impossible to maintain it. In order to save money, we had to cut down some short-term projects that did not produce results. The young and continuous experiment of the tadpole was the first A project that was cut down."The latest chapter address of Master Qiao An: https://www.readwn.com/book /102085.htmlReading address of Master Qiao’s article: https://www.readwn.com/read/102085/Master Qiao An txt download address: https://www.readwn.com/down/102085.htmlMage Qiao An mobile phone reading: https://m.readwn.com/read/102085/For the convenience of reading next time, you can click "Favorites" below to record the reading record of this time (Chapter 2844), and you can see it next time you open the bookshelf!
