The other 'slave', Peter, accompanied the black magician to help Dean sell the Bourne family's property. Dean spent most of his time in the major libraries of Phoenix City. He read all kinds of books and quickly learned about the situation of the giant wall of Bolga. He also learned a lot about the Empire and the secrets of the devil's pit from these books.
As he guessed, the devil's pit was the location where the nuclear weapons from the old era fell!
No wonder the nuclear radiation in the devil's pit was so strong. It was dozens of times stronger than the outside world. Moreover, the exploration team sent by the giant wall found a lot of 'strange' things in the devil's pit. From the black and white photos, it was clear that there were all kinds of broken spaceships. Some were cracked barrels, some were rudders of the spaceships, and some were broken spaceships.
"The nuclear weapons didn't destroy the insects but changed the earth beyond recognition …" Dean sighed. He felt sad. The world created by nuclear weapons would eventually be retaliated on the heads of humans.
However, it wasn't difficult to see that the devil's pit was the main location where the spaceships appeared. Perhaps the reason why the nuclear weapons fell here was to attack the headquarters of the insects.
Unfortunately, he was not the only one who could see this. It was estimated that all the demonic pits in the Empire had been plundered countless times by the Seven Kings. They even deliberately let the Giant Wall of Porja stand guard. Their purpose was obviously not as simple as detecting the changes in the demonic energy radiation in the demonic pit.
Dean wasn't interested in going to the devil's pit. Instead, he thought about the spaceship in the ice dragon's nest. There were a lot of ice insects and the suspected ice insect king.
Although his body didn't need them to evolve and become stronger, but he could take them and give them to Neuss to improve their strength.
However, he didn't plan to go there for the time being. The suspected ice insect king had left a big shadow in his heart. Moreover, Neuss and Barton hadn't established a foothold in the giant wall yet. Moreover, he had many experimental ideas that he hadn't had time to verify with the lightning filter.
The theft of the lightning filter didn't cause much of a stir in the Nile territory. The main reason was that this thing was a wizard's artifact and couldn't see the light of day. Moreover, the assassin of Branck didn't leave any clues. Even the professional deacon of the magistrate couldn't find any useful clues. They could only continue to track in the dark.
However, the theft of the Thunder Filter had caused quite a commotion among the wizards. Rumours spread like wildfire, and there were all sorts of speculations. Many wizards even declared that they would find the culprit and avenge Branck.
More Magi were secretly paying attention to relevant news, hoping to obtain the Lightning Filter.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Time passed quickly. Neuss, Barton, Macon and others had taken root in the giant wall of Berga. They had their own identity. Some were lawyers, some were musicians, some were admitted to the Knight's Hall, and some were mixed into the magistrate as apprentice knights. Everyone was like a big net. Under the intentional arrangement of Neuss, they were scattered into various circles of the giant wall.
In the past six months, Dean's harvest was the greatest. Relying on the characteristics of his own genes, he successfully absorbed five Soul Worms. Coupled with his own abilities of Splitter and Sun Beast Soul Worm, it was equivalent to having the abilities of seven Soul Worms.
Among the five newly added soul worms, other than the first tortoiseshell, which was a rare magical creature, the other four were all Legendaries!
One of the four legendary soul worms was bought from the Bourne family. The other three didn't come from soul worms, but from human beings!
This was also one of Dean's biggest gains. When the pioneers of the Bourne family and the ruler who cooperated with the black magician to divide the Bourne and Baret industries rebelled, he killed them. Originally, he planned to use their bodies for research, but then he suddenly thought that the magic marks contained in their bodies could be absorbed into his own body. As a result of the experiment, he found that it was really possible!
This broke Dean's original inherent thinking. Later, after various attempts, he found that he could not only absorb ability fragments from the body of the Soul Worm, but also devour other creatures to absorb the characteristics of the creature. For example, directly devouring a Bloodthirsty Leech, his body would have the blood-sucking ability of the Bloodthirsty Leech, and he could rely on blood to replenish his own consumption.
But this kind of direct absorption had a flaw. The appearance of the genes would change accordingly. After absorbing the genes of a wolf, a portion of the sample flesh he used for his experiments grew thick fur on the surface of the flesh. He suspected that if his body directly absorbed the genes, he would also experience a partial transformation. In fact, the more genes he absorbed, the more parts of his body would mutate, and in the end, he would turn into a form that he didn't even dare to imagine.
In contrast, soul worms seemed to be a filter.
Dean already understood a little. The worms that he saw in the Earth Dragon Cave in Amelie's tribe were primitive soul worms that didn't parasitize any creatures. These soul worms were produced from ice worms, but not all soul worms could grow into ice worms. It seemed that the environment didn't allow it, or there was a lack of something. Although they were born from the mother, they couldn't become ice worms.
But soul worms had a characteristic that ice worms didn't have. That was parasitizing other creatures and relying on other creatures to survive.
While parasitizing, the Soul Worm would absorb the organism's genes and copy them into its own body. When it parasitized another organism, it would copy the genetic abilities in its body to the new parasite and slowly transform the new parasite's body. This was like moving to a new place, but it was still very nostalgic about its original home, so it would also decorate the new home to look like its original home.
Of course, for these soul worms, it might not be because of nostalgia, but because of adaptation.
If he directly absorbed the gene chain copied from these soul worms, Dean's body could be controlled within the scope of the original, and there wouldn't be too much change on the surface. It was like discarding some rough things and only extracting the core genes inside.
However, through the observation of the thunder filter, Dean found that the negative effect of directly absorbing from other magic marks was smaller than absorbing from soul worms. It was like the magic mark ability was the second filter!
After continuously absorbing the abilities of five different magic marks, Dean found that the final landscape of his cells was surrounded by illusory star rings on the surface of the four color balls, and among them, the blue ball was surrounded by two.
