While the Dark Forest was once again experiencing a 'small' uproar, Grimm was busy in his laboratory.
Every time he finished tempering his mind, Grimm's mental space would slightly collapse. During this period of time, he would have to gorge himself to consume large amounts of energy in order to support his body and mind's rapid recovery.
He could not help but be thankful for this.
As he was in the Dark Forest, he would never have to worry about a lack of magical beasts.
It was said that there was a saying among combat Magi: Only the Magus who could eat the most could become the Magus who could fight the best!
From this saying, one could basically understand the attitude of Magi towards eating and drinking.
This was not because Magi were gluttons who indulged in eating and drinking, but because of the fragility of the human body.
Be it Elemental Magi or Body Tempering Magi, the human body was not a help to Magi. Instead, it was a huge restriction.
The higher the level of a Magus, the more terrifying the torrent of elemental energy that the body had to endure when casting high-level spells. If Grimm did not transform his body into an elemental body in time after becoming a Fire Magus, then every time he cast a powerful fire element spell, it would cause substantial damage to his body.
One could imagine the terrifying lava flowing through his blood vessels at a temperature of a few thousand degrees. If one did not have a strong body, their blood vessels and flesh would have been burnt to ashes before they could even activate these high-ranked spells.
After the elemental transformation, the body would require even more energy to support it!
The energy that an ordinary person's daily diet would not even be enough to support a Magus casting the most insignificant of spells. That was why Magi, as a high-energy lifeform, had to rely on a different diet to support the normal activities of their bodies.
The so-called delicacies of human society, for Magi, apart from having a taste, were not beneficial to their bodies at all. If Magi wanted to grow stronger day by day, the magical energy meals made from the flesh of Magical Beasts would become a daily supplement for them.
As it was adjacent to the Dark Forest, the Blazing Flame Monarch naturally had a huge advantage in terms of magical beast resources!
In the mission hall on the first floor of the Wizard's Pagoda, there were long-term missions to purchase the flesh of Magical Beasts hanging at the top of the mission board.
In the rearing room of the Wizard's Pagoda, there were also some ordinary Magical Beasts with delicious meat. However, the flesh of these Magical Beasts was only available to the higher-ups of the Wizard's Pagoda, so the low-level Magi Apprentices had no chance of tasting it.
As the Blazing Flame Monarch's power increased, the number of Magi Apprentices within the Wizard's Pagoda increased. Apart from studying, experimenting, and practicing spells, their daily activities were also becoming more and more common.
Magus Magus Magus Magus Magus Magus Magi Mag Magof Magus had Magus., Mag, the Magus Mag Magus of Magus.
Magus, Of the name was, Magus of Mag,,, to say.
Of Yang, Magus, of Mags, the Mag Magof, of, to, to, and Dragon, Mags Magus to, the Magus.,.. Perhaps no one could explain the bloodline relationship between them and the true Fire Dragon, but the trace of Fire Dragon's bloodline that permeated their bloodline was real.
Because the Earth Fire Dragons lived in the depths of volcanoes all year round, they loved to consume sulfur and fire energy cores, so their flesh was soaked in a thick fire elemental aura.
Back then, in the elite apprentice camp in the Dark Crypt, Grim had only eaten a single Hellfire Dragon rib, and his strength had skyrocketed. Now that he had become a wizard, the flesh of these magical creatures could no longer give him as much power as before.
However, the Fire Dragon's ribs had a considerable effect on Grimm's body as he persistently swallowed them.
If eating and drinking leisurely every day could allow one's body and spirit to grow by quite a bit, perhaps no Magus would be able to resist such a blatant temptation!
An adult Earth Fire Dragon weighed 3,000 kilograms. After removing the unnecessary parts and organs, the total amount of ribs left was about 2,000 kilograms. After the A.I. Chip had fully calculated the energy content of the Fire Dragon's ribs and Grimm's fire elemental power growth requirements, it had set a daily quota of 50 kilograms for Grimm.
50 kilograms of ribs!
If Grimm was a regular human, he would not be able to eat such a terrifying amount even if he stuffed himself to death.
However, this was only a small matter to Grimm.
Although Grim still had the appearance and breathing of a normal human, if he was thrown onto the operating table and dissected, he would find that all the internal organs and flesh tissues in his body were worlds apart from those of a human.
This was something that could not be helped!
Any human who became a Magus would walk further and further down the path of 'mutation', until the day came when they could no longer turn back. Even people like Blitz had abandoned even the most basic of human thoughts. He left everyone in the dust on the path of insectoid transformation, swearing not to look back!
Other than the Fire Dragon's ribs, Grimm had also tried the flesh of a Ground Fire Lizard.
Unfortunately, the sour and fishy smell was comparable to a potion concocted by a Potioneering Acolyte. After trying it once, Grimm had put it on the blacklist.
Other than stuffing himself with food, what Grimm did most of the day was soaking in a medicinal bath.
Grimm's Spirit had stabilized at 8 points, which was almost the same as Wizard Cogan, who had advanced more than a hundred years ago. They were both veteran Magi. However, Grimm was lagging behind in all other aspects of his body.
This had something to do with the fact that he had only advanced for a short period of time!
He had been busy running around ever since he became a Magus, so he did not have the time to settle down and solidify his foundation. If he did not have so many auxiliary methods, he would not have been able to achieve his current results.
Grimm took advantage of this rare 'seclusion' and began to train his body in all aspects. This so-called medicinal bath was actually a method used by low-ranked Anatomy Refinery Sorcerers to strengthen their bodies.
Using potions or poisons with rich energy, they could continuously stimulate the cells in the Magi's body, allowing them to achieve a dynamic balance between rapid death and recovery. This way, they could continuously stimulate their body's potential and fully tap into the power of their flesh.
Of course, to use this method, they had to first solve the problem of their body weakening after training.
This could be solved with the Mana Set Meal.
However, Grimm was training his Spirit and Wizard Potions at the same time, so the weakening of both his body and spirit was tormenting him a lot of times.
As a Magus, even if he stayed in his room most of the time, he could still use his powerful Spiritual Sense to grasp everything that was happening in the Wizard's Pagoda. When needed, he could even control the changes around the Black Forest like an extension of his arm.
However, at this moment, as his body and spirit had fallen to the bottom, he could not release his Spiritual Sense, and his body was extremely weak. This feeling of 'weakness' made him feel like he had been beaten back to his original state!
As the leader of a faction, he could not let his enemies or subordinates see this weak side of him, or else it could easily lead to unpredictable events. That was why Grimm had never left the fifth level of the Wizard's Pagoda. Even Gargamel, who was preparing the medicinal bath for him, had not seen him.
Since his body and spirit were so weak that he could not see anyone, Grimm closed the door and began to study some of the research projects that he had put aside for a long time.
Over the past two days, the research project that he had been following up on was the 'strange insect' that had found out about the spider's lair!
Unlike the Mutated Insect Queen, this strange insect that was still alive had its own unique survival abilities.
If the Mutated Insect Queen was seeking to 'live and prosper together' with its host, then this strange insect was purely stealing and plundering.
This strange insect had been taken from the Medusa's body, and it had been placed there by the Old Spider himself, hoping that it would break out of the body and become a powerful support for him. The strength of this strange insect was that it could steal the natural instincts of its host and turn them into nourishment for its growth.
Even though the natural instincts that it had stolen could not restore 100% of its host's abilities, Grimm was still shocked and moved.
Since ancient times, a person's natural instincts were determined the moment they were born. Even though it was possible to optimize and improve them later on with a large number of rare resources, it was unimaginable to completely change one's natural instincts.
After obtaining the strange insect, Grimm had flipped through many books and historical records, but he could not find any information on this insect. At least, in the books and ancient books that Grimm had read, he had never heard of any similar examples.
This showed how valuable this strange insect's ability to steal the natural instincts of other living beings was!
Thus, from the moment he obtained this strange insect, Grimm had set up a laboratory for it, authorizing the A.I. Chip to test and cultivate it in all aspects. After a series of tests, Grimm obtained a result that was both good and bad.
On one hand, he was happy that this strange insect could steal the natural instincts of its host.
On the other hand, he was worried that the natural instincts it stole were fragmented and could not be pieced back together through experiments.
Just like how the Old Spider had parasitized the Medusa's body, even the Old Spider did not know what kind of abilities the insect would obtain when it broke out of the body. It was impossible to completely absorb the Medusa's innate ability to petrify, but there was a chance that a weakened version of the 'Paralyzing Gaze' could be formed.
No sorcerer could explain how this strange witchcraft ability appeared.
