Brainworms, this is a very special Zerg, with a body size only the size of a hair. At first, this Zerg had no combat power, and was weak enough, even the sun and light could kill them.
However, brain worms can penetrate into the human body along the human esophagus, respiratory tract, ears, and eyes, and then enter the human brain through blood vessels for parasitization.
Humans who are initially parasitic will feel hungry. If they want to eat, brainworms can absorb a large amount of energy and nutrients from the human body and start to grow up.
There is also a similar insect in nature called iron worm. This insect is not a demon, but just a very ordinary parasite.
Adults live in rivers, ponds and ditches. The eggs laid by females hatch larvae in the water, and after being eaten by insects, they live through parasitic life.
When this insect is swallowed by large arthropods such as mantis, locusts, etc., the larvae continue to develop in these arthropods and gradually control the host's behavior. When the larvae grows into adults, it will control the host to find a source of water and drown the host and drill out of the host.
However, this parasite is just something like Bacillus melanocytes and has no effect on humans. At most, it will cause you to get inflammation.
The brainworms are different. They are demons and Zergs. After they suck to a certain extent, they will eat the human brain and then swallow the eyeballs and come out from it.
At the beginning, brain worms could only parasitize ordinary people, and to be more precise, ordinary people who did not awaken magic, because the magic energy in the mage's body can kill brain worms.
However, after eating ordinary human hind-brain worms, they will evolve and have a certain amount of resistance, allowing them to resist the magic energy in the body of the primary mage.
After the brainworm evolves to the next stage, it will choose the primary mage to continue parasitizing, because the evolutionary brainworm can absorb magic energy, and even absorb all the magic system in the end, and then to a certain level to the middle, high, and super level.
Of course, this is almost impossible.
Not to mention the super-level, the initial mage can control the magic to kill brainworms when they find something strange.
Some scholars suspected that the alien insect Junlila, which once caused a sensation, was a brain worm. It miraculously ate the brains of more than a dozen super-level mages, swallowed their magic system, and thus evolved to the level of the insect king.
Evolved brainworms are very smart. They will have the memory and knowledge of the devoured host. Because of the worm Lord Lila, the water supply system of Yaodu has been upgraded and transformed to prevent the larvae of brainworms from parasitic through water sources.
However, brainworms have one weakness, that is, they cannot store energy, they can only rely on parasitics to absorb energy, and they cannot stop parasitics, otherwise they will starve to death.
However, only larvae brainworms need parasitism. When brainworms give up parasitism, they can choose to start evolution, turning from larvae into adults overnight and becoming powerful Zerg monsters.
What kind of adult monsters will become depends on what they have eaten. I am afraid that the insect king like Lila has eaten several powerful super-level mages.
Since the worm Lord Lila, the brain worm has not appeared for decades, and now one has appeared!
Zhaohua clicked to enter the detailed page of the task, which introduced the brainworm in detail, but Zhaohua skipped it after seeing these knowledge in the book.
"It's actually in Zengcheng!?"
There are eleven cities in the Yaodu City, one of the cities next to the city is Zengcheng. The two cities are very close to each other and the subway will be within 30 minutes.
Zhaohua looked at the task in detail. The cause was that when the landlord in an urban village was collecting rent, he found that the tenant died in the house. Then he called the police. After identification by forensic doctors, it was done by a brain worm.
Then the police contacted Zengcheng's urban demon hunting team to investigate through the city's Sky Eye Network (surveillance) and the time of the tenant's death, and investigated those who had contact with him, and then went through a little investigation.
The city demon hunting team found that more than a dozen people had died, and there were four early-level mages and one intermediate-level mage. The death time of this intermediate-level mage was exactly last night, which means that this brainworm probably had reached the level of a general.
So the judge needs to be dispatched.
But although there are eleven judges in the eleven cities of the Demon City, the Demon City is too big. The Trial Council has many things to be responsible for and is not enough to be manned. Therefore, this brainworm incident that should have been responsible for in Zengcheng Trial Council is placed in the taskbar of the Trial Council in the form of a task.
The purpose is to give some judges who are practicing and you can solve the problem if you have the ability. For example, a judge like Zhaohua who has just finished practicing and breaking through.
If no judge takes action in another day, the trial will be thrown to some private hunting centers in the form of a reward, and money will be used to solve the problem by these capable hunters.
"The crime scene is quite close to Congcheng..."
Brainworms are very dangerous. Think about it, God gave them a very difficult start to hell, and then they would give Brainworms who had started through hell the same strength as the return of the demon king.
Even if you just suck a brain worm in the middle-level mage's brain, if you choose to evolve into an adult, you will have the strength of a warrior overnight.
The war generals need at least three or four double-level intermediate mages to deal with.
If he had to eat a few more, Zhaohua would not be able to deal with it.
Zhaohua decisively clicked to receive the task, but he didn't even see how many points he had, because the crime scene of the brainworm was the border between Zengcheng and Congcheng. If the brainworm ran to Congcheng, with the strength of Congcheng, it would probably be a huge disaster.
Zhaohua had no reason to let this brainworm go.
Zhaohua put down her practice, casually wore a short-sleeved T-shirt and jeans and went out. She sent Ji Shaoyu a WeChat message, saying that she was still working on Gu Suoyu and went into seclusion.
It is very convenient to have a subway. Zhaohua soon arrived at the Trial Meeting in Zengcheng. After all, this matter originally belonged to the Trial Meeting in Zengcheng. Zhaohua belonged to Zhucheng, so he had to report on it no matter how he was.
"You? Deal with the brainworm? Please, we are very busy, don't make trouble, little brother."
When he heard that a judge was finally going to deal with the brainworm in person, the captain of the city demon hunting team in Zengcheng came here in person. But what he didn't expect was that the person who came was actually a handsome boy with no hair.
The most annoying thing about this kind of aristocratic disciples, who rely on family relations to enter the judgment meeting, thinking of "gilding" himself and making it better in the family and mage circles.
These family disciples can only see that their cultivation is inflated and they rely on resources to pile up their cultivation. As soon as they reach the barrier, they use many resources to forcefully break the barrier. The result of this is that the quality of the magic energy is lower than that of others.
Moreover, if you lack combat experience, your legs may be weak when encountering monsters, which seriously affects the release speed of magic. The most important thing is that you have no combat experience and poor accuracy of magic.
It's like putting a fierce fist, you hit the demon, putting a thunderbolt, you're slashing out to loneliness, and you're also shocking the snake, which is a fart. So even hunters look down on these family disciples, it's purely harmful.
Fighting with demons is not a game, magic is not a must-win, and demons will also hide. In the confrontation with demons, it depends on the hit rate of the magic.
This is the biggest difference from the battle between mages. Human mages do not have that physical ability and cannot avoid high-speed magic attacks, but the powerful perception and physical ability of the demons may avoid magic attacks.
