The information that Lucci brought back from Renaya quickly caused a series of subsequent waves.
Almost every wizard in Moonfrost Union was on the move. Some went to find out if Lord Flameless' soul was truly dead, while others went to Brute Cavern.
Even Monkey returned from the Abyss Plane and went to Parmigi Highlands.
Rhine, who had rushed back from the ruins ahead, welcomed Meng Qi. Rhine brought Meng Qi to the Cloud Tower. No one knew what they talked about in the Cloud Tower. The only thing they knew was that Monkey didn't stay in Cloud Tower for too long. He left Brute Cavern with the other Moonfrost Union members.
Meanwhile, Mirror, which was under Wallace's control, wasn't affected by the Moonfrost Union either. Since "Mirror" had not been stopped, the printing of "Ying City's Night Stories" in the Night Forest was also proceeding in an orderly manner. They were just waiting for the moment when the information would explode.
Monkey wore a grim expression after leaving Brute Cavern. He didn't tell anyone else what happened. He only told Lucci to keep looking for Angor's location.
Angor did tell them a lot of secrets, but it seemed that he did not hide anything from them in the grand scheme of things. They were also sending people to verify the information. However, Monkey still wanted to see Angor in person because Angor's words contained many vague details.
When Lucci tried to use the Wheel of Time to find Angor's location, the spell didn't work just like what happened in the Abyss Plane.
Angor, on the other hand, was meditating in Padt Manor.
Since Sunders and Thewis hadn't returned yet, Angor's daily activities were mostly routine training. He spent the rest of his time either constructing his door model or observing the Soft Larva.
After the "Hardened Larva" incident, he found a new variable in Insecott's notes and used it on the Soft Larva Queen.
On the fourth day, the Soft Larva finally gave birth to a new batch of eggs.
There were five eggs in total. One of them was dead, while the other three were normal Soft Larvae. Only one of them was special.
It attracted Angor's attention from the moment it was born.
Compared to the other yellow eggs, this one was almost transparent. Before it hatched, Angor already sensed energy flowing inside it.
This was something that had never happened before. Even the previous "hardened worm" behaved the same as an ordinary worm egg when it was still in its egg stage, without any energy leakage. However, this worm egg had been announcing its existence since it was still in its egg stage.
Angor paid a lot of attention to it.
As he observed, he noticed that the energy inside the egg was somehow resonating with his own. It was as if the energy inside the egg had reached the same frequency as his own, and it felt like they were resonating with each other. From the bottom of his heart, Angor was looking forward to the egg like never before.
In order to speed up the hatching process, Angor carefully studied Insekort's notes and selected a rune from Enchantment Cyclopaedia that could adjust temperature, humidity, and even air cleanliness. He then engraved the rune on the table.
That way, the eggs would receive the best care in the most suitable environment.
After a long incubation period, the transparent egg finally showed signs of loosening up.
Today, after completing the model of his door, Angor focused all of his attention on the insect nest on the table.
The Dream Weaver ant was still fighting against the Soft Larva at the "frontline". It was a necessary tool to help the broodmother sense danger, and Angor couldn't give it up. He didn't call the ant back even though it was a special day. There were still plenty of Soft Larvae around, and using them to block the ant's path wouldn't affect the broodmother.
After the Dream Weaver Ant finished its meal, it returned to the edge of the nest, leaving behind a few shriveled corpses. It began to digest the corpses, waiting for the next battle.
Angor glanced at the Dream Weaver ant and looked at the incubation room.
The other eggs were already hatching. The flesh-colored larvae wriggled out of the incubation room and went to the "kitchen" where Akeso's blood was stored to grow.
The transparent egg was the only one that didn't show any signs of activity. However, this was only to say that there was no movement on the surface. Through the transparent skin, one could clearly see that the inside of the egg was actually undergoing changes.
The egg wasn't fully hatched yet, but its body had already taken shape. It looked just like other Soft Larvae except for its transparent body. Angor could only see the outlines of some of its internal organs.
At this time, the transparent soft worm was trying its best to stretch its body, as if it wanted to use this force to break through the egg's shell. After several experiments, the egg began to shake slowly, and at the same time, a crack appeared on the shell.
As the crack appeared, air from outside rushed into the egg. Angor could clearly see the transparent Soft Larva's body changing color at a visible rate.
From transparent to translucent, it slowly turned into a milky white color.
After struggling for a long time, the Soft Larva finally broke free and crawled out of the egg. Angor noticed that the Soft Larva's body had completely turned into a pure white color.
It looked like a white gem carving, very exquisite and beautiful.
However, Angor frowned.
This was because according to what he learned from Inse Cote's notes, the body color of the Soft Morphing Worm was not pure. In other words, the Soft Morphing Worm that he had placed his hopes on for a long time had once again disappointed him. It was still not a Soft Morphing Worm.
Still, this was a special bug, and he needed to record its effects in his notebook so that he could gather more information about it.
But he still couldn't determine the Soft Larva's true nature.
In fact, apart from the color of its body, the rest of its habits were the same as that of an ordinary soft worm. It slowly devoured Akeso's essence blood, and after it was full, it ran to a place closer to the mother worm and fell asleep.
Before hatching, Angor noticed the energy signature inside the Soft Larva Queen that matched his own. But now, the energy signature was completely hidden as if it never existed.
Angor rubbed his forehead and prepared to look away for now.
However, the Dream Weaver Ant, which had been waiting for a long time, came to the frontline again. Several Soft Larvae were still trying to fend off the Dream Weaver Ant's attacks.
Angor pondered for a moment and decided to do an experiment.
He used his spirit feelers to put pressure on the Soft Larvae while driving the Dream Weaver Ant toward the Soft Larva Queen.
When the Dream Weaver Ant was about to reach the Soft Larva Queen, the Soft Larva Queen finally woke up.
It seemed to be afraid of the Dream Weaver Ant. Trembling, the Soft Larva Queen backed away.
Angor shook his head again. Maybe the Soft Larva Queen was just born and didn't activate its special ability yet.
He couldn't let the Soft Larva Queen die yet since he didn't know what it was capable of. With that in mind, he decided to drive the Dream Weaver Ant away first.
However, at this moment, the pure-colored worm that looked "scared" suddenly moved.
This was beyond Angor's understanding of Soft Larva Queen's movements.
The Soft Larva Queen didn't move by wriggling. Instead, it used some kind of strange energy to levitate and charge at the Dream Weaver Ant at an incredible speed.
Before Angor could even see what happened, one of the Dream Weaver Ant's legs was broken.
Angor didn't even know how the Soft Larva Queen broke the ant's leg.
When the Soft Larva Queen touched the wall of the Soft Larva Queen's nest, the Soft Larva Queen rebounded and charged at the Dream Weaver Ant again.
The Dream Weaver Ant lost another leg in a flash of white light.
Angor couldn't believe what he was seeing. The invincible Dream Weaver Ant had actually been defeated by this pure-colored soft worm? What kind of special ability did it have?
Seeing that the Soft Larva Queen was about to attack again, Angor quickly used his spirit feelers to suppress the Dream Weaver Ant. He couldn't let it die here.
After sending the Dream Weaver Ant back to the edge of the nest, Angor cast a cantrip to replenish its energy and speed up its recovery. Considering the Dream Weaver Ant's recovery ability, it wouldn't take long for it to fully recover.
All of his attention was focused on the pure-colored soft worm.
Without the threat of the Dream Weaver Ant, the Soft Larva Queen regained its harmless appearance. The strange energy around it was gone, and it looked no different from a normal Soft Larva.
If Angor didn't see how strong the Soft Larva Queen was, he would have been fooled.
Angor took the Soft Larva Queen out of the nest and carefully analyzed its data.
After a series of analysis, he found that the physical strength of this soft worm was actually not much different from that of an ordinary soft worm. The only difference was probably the special energy that had appeared for a brief moment before.
What was that special energy anyway?
He carefully recalled the battle between the Dream Weaver and the Soft Larva. Why did he feel something familiar when he saw the energy coming from the Dream Weaver?
"Is it some kind of illusion?" Angor muttered to himself.
Angor knew exactly what kind of energy he had inside his body. As for the part that resonated with the soft worms, Angor felt something similar to an illusion spell, but there was something different about it.
Was his guess correct? What was the special energy of this pure-colored soft worm?
Angor considered for a moment and decided to do a little experiment.
