Chapter 753: The Third Metamorphosis
The halo drifted onto Qin Sang’s body and, after a few flickers, transformed into a dazzling suit of seven-colored light armor that fit snugly against him.
The fat silkworm had successfully undergone its third metamorphosis.
However, its form remained the same—still round and pudgy, with the same seven-colored skin. There was hardly any change in appearance.
Most spiritual insects would show some visible transformation with each metamorphosis. For example, the Sky-Eyed Butterfly, after its third metamorphosis, would open the eyes on its wings and gain a supernatural ability.
Only this fat silkworm was strangely different. It had devoured so many poison cores and demonic cores, yet all of it seemed to have been for nothing.
After its second metamorphosis, it had gained the ability to release a seven-colored halo that could ward off poison, which made Qin Sang place high hopes on its future growth. But now, after its third metamorphosis, it seemed to have gained no new abilities.
The only improvement was that the seven-colored halo had become more condensed, even capable of turning into threads of light that could be refined into a genuine Poison-Warding Armor. This had finally fulfilled a long-cherished wish of Qin Sang's.
The Sky-Eyed Butterfly, while its innate supernatural ability was not particularly powerful, could manipulate lightning. Its combat capabilities had become quite notable, and it had turned into a reliable ally after its metamorphosis.
The fat silkworm, on the other hand, remained foolishly plump and fragile.
It had been asleep for a long time, and the time since its transformation was still short. Qin Sang was uncertain whether its ability was simply too obscure for him to perceive, or if there was some other reason he had yet to uncover.
It was a pity that the fat silkworm was not his life-bound insect gu. It had chosen Mute Girl as its master, so he could not communicate with it directly. No matter how intelligent it was, it still struggled to express its meaning clearly.
Even so, the fat silkworm’s metamorphosis was not without value. In fact, it came as quite a surprise.
