This is a translucent magic beetle the size of a grain of rice that feeds on the 'time' of other creatures, especially the 'time' of wizards or other magical creatures that are rich in magic.

Creatures targeted by it will be robbed of most of their time in a very short period of time until they die of old age, so this insect is called 'killing time' by wizards, which means 'killing time'.

Where this magical insect is entrenched and nesting, the 'time' in the entire area will be 'drained'.

In the initial stage, the animals on this land died of old age one after another, followed by plants, microorganisms, and even bacteria and viruses. When the time of all living things was taken away, it was the turn of non-living things.

The running water was dried and the stones were eroded, so that in the end, except for sand, not even larger stones could be found in the entire area.

The desertification of the area caused by this magical creature is why they are called "sandstone" by wizards.

Because the expressions of "killing time" or "sand stone" are not elegant enough, in some old-school magician manuscripts, this insect is also called "sand time".

Sand is a social creature.

Most Sand-Toki societies are composed of one Sand-Toki Mother and hundreds to thousands of ordinary Sand-Toki; in some extreme environments, a Sand-Toki group will give birth to two or even three Sand-Toki Mothers to maintain their existence. The survival of the entire group.

Compared to ordinary Sand Time, the individual form of the Mother of Sand Time is terrifying. In almost all magical writings, there are descriptions of the Mother of Sand Time such as 'fist-sized', 'fat and heavy', 'wingless but agile'.

The Mother of Sand Time is responsible for laying eggs and reproducing, while maintaining the stability of Sand Time's nest - as a magical creature that feeds on time, any form of nest is inevitably at risk of overturning. Only the Mother of Sand Time can maintain the nest's time. relative balance.

Ordinary sand is responsible for collecting 'time'.

As a kind of 'pseudo-extradimensional' creature, Sand Shi is like a bug clinging to the timeline, chewing up the timeline one bite at a time, eating it into its stomach, and turning it into the nourishment for their survival.

No one can understand how time materializes in the stomachs of these little bugs and turns into the mysterious "sand time slurry", just like wizards still cannot understand how sand time separates the timelines of living creatures from the three-dimensional space.

Although it has a pair of thin wings, Shashi cannot fly.

These wings are more like knives, forks and dinner plates when they eat.

When the sand is hung on a person's earlobe, a paralytic hormone is secreted and injected into the host's blood through the sharp mouthparts. Then it vibrates its wings and makes a sweet buzzing sound.

When their wings vibrate, they produce a special sound wave that can hypnotize their prey. Of course, some wizards speculate that the vibration of sand wings can separate their prey from the three-dimensional space, making it easier for them to extract the timeline.

Regardless, the paralytics secreted by these tiny bugs inhibit some functions of the human brain.

Wizards will only feel bored, frustrated, numb, weak, and other more negative emotions.

Then time will fly by in this emotion.

The wizards who are preyed upon by the sand will not suffer from illness or fluctuations in magic power. They will only be used to being in a daze, used to boringly staring at notebooks and scribbling, used to staring at a small insect flying around. And enjoy it.

Some wizards who are allergic to sand secretions may also experience symptoms such as drowsiness and dry and heavy eyelids.

Of course, there are also wizards who fall asleep during sand hunting - this helps them a lot. These little bugs can safely extract the timeline of their prey without having to vibrate their wings or secrete a large amount of paralysis.

"The most precious wealth of human beings is time, and killing time will make your time pass by inadvertently."

An old wizard with a gray face and a skinny body concluded in a soft voice: "Many hosts of time-killing beetles will not realize that they are being parasitized - they will only feel that they have wasted a little more time."

This old wizard's name is Dorag Barton, who comes from the Institute of Magical Creatures of First University. He is a professor specially invited by the school working committee to train patrol students in sand-catching techniques.

The crowds at the lakeside were crowded together, making the already dull atmosphere even hotter.

But everyone stood quietly on the lawn, not daring to make a sound.

They were about to face the legendary magical creature, which made everyone excited, fearing that they would miss a few words from the old professor.

Zheng Qing touched his earlobe and twisted it worriedly. He always felt that his lack of energy for homework recently was because of these little bugs.

According to the old professor's previous explanation, sand timers like to attach behind the wizard's earlobes.

"Perhaps you call these cute little bugs 'murderers'," Professor Dolag raised his voice slightly, and his tone seemed a little uneasy: "But you should note that they did not harm any wizard...anyone!"

"This is the First University," a voice behind Zheng Qing said with a low laugh: "Maybe the mother of Sha Toki knows the consequences of hurting the wizard."

Perhaps this teasing voice was relatively quiet, and Professor Dolag's lecture was not affected.

"This magical magical insect survives by converting the time of other creatures," the old professor emphasized: "In this process, many, many, precious derivatives were born."

"For example, paralysin secreted by sand is an inert additive with excellent performance and can play a good stabilizing role in many biological experiments with violent reactions."

"For another example, lazy bugs are a natural stimulant. They don't require any special preparation. Whether you eat them raw, steamed, stir-fried, stewed, even shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu-shabu" Eating it in any way can keep you energetic for a certain period of time and improve your concentration when doing homework. "

This is another wonderful irony.

Zheng Qing couldn't help but smile.

Sloths are the larvae of sand time.

Although the Sand Time Mother is responsible for laying eggs, she does not nurse them.

When the larvae in the eggs bite through the afterbirth, they need to fend for themselves.

Adult sand will drop these sloths on other creatures - their favorite eggs are dropped in the corner of the wizard's eyes or behind the ears.

These lazy bugs hide in the wrinkles at the corners of the wizard's eyes or in the thick hair behind the ears, occasionally carefully taking a few bites of the wizard's timeline until they mature.

Unlike hunting in the sand, wizards parasitized by sloths do not often become dazed or wander around inexplicably for no reason.

At best, they are a little lazy on weekdays and can't lift their spirits.

If the professor hadn't explained it, who would have thought that these murderers that caused wizards to feel depressed could actually be a good way to refresh themselves?

Thinking of this, Zheng Qing couldn't help but have a heartfelt respect for the first wizard who cooked lazy insects.

"And the most precious thing!" Professor Dolag, who was still explaining to the crowd, emphasized.

"The 'Sand Time Royal Jelly' brewed by the Mother of Sand Time," the old professor said with bulging veins on his neck, excited expression, and even a ferocious expression: "This is a very mild life-extending medicine that does not require any additives!"

"It doesn't need to be formed through complicated and profound magic processing like the Philosopher's Stone; it doesn't need to be like the seven-day life-sustaining array with stars, which requires a great wizard-level main array leader and has to withstand divine punishment and disaster."

"You only need to mix it with dew, warm it in a medicine cup, and take it while it's hot, you can gently extend your life."

"Do you want a more precious gift than this?"

The crowd was in an uproar.

It is true that for these young wizards, there is no hidden danger of running out of life.

But who doesn’t have an elder who is related to them?

Even if you are really alone, you can still exchange it for jade coins or even credits.

I believe no one can refuse this kind of deal.

Everyone was enthusiastically discussing what to do after the discovery of sand. Everyone was imagining handfuls of jade coins, piles of experimental supplies, treasures, beauties, and credits.

Only Zheng Qing was stunned.

He thought of the group of resurrected elves in the dormitory.

He finally understood the reason for the strong sense of déjà vu that had been building up since the beginning.

In the first week of school, Potions teacher Li Qihuang once mentioned this little bug to him.
