Chapter 2278: Chapter 1140: The Future Calamity That Died in the Womb

In fact, this talent was not discovered by Dorothy, but rather by her senior Fanny above her, the homebody witch had originally planned to leave, but the senior suddenly tugged her hair.

"Dorothy, did you see the corner of the cage over there? I always feel like the exotic squatting in the corner is a bit different."

Hat Senior Sister said this in Dorothy’s ear.

In response, the homebody witch narrowed her eyes, following the senior’s hint to look at a huge cage not far away.

It was a rather dirty and messy cage, holding a group of filthy exotic races, whose appearance was considered utterly ugly by human aesthetics, each resembling a magnified version of anthropomorphic insects.

Objectively speaking, such "exiled talents" were considered the lowest class and were seldom "adopted." Most witches are somewhat particular about appearance, and the more they conform to human aesthetics, the more attractive the "exiled talents" are, cough cough, the easier they are to be redeemed.

For example, the Elf Race, Moon Rabbit Clan, Mermaid Clan, and so on.

But insects...

Human girls mostly fear insects, and although witches have evolved from humans, most witches have retained some human female characteristics, among which is the fear of insects.

Well, actually you can’t say it’s fear, since when pushed to the limit, after a round of magical bombardment, no hair would be left of any insect. Witches just have a physiological aversion to creatures of insect-like shapes.

Of course, this is true for most witches, but it doesn’t represent all. With many people, there are always exceptions, some witches not only don’t dislike insects, but might be insect enthusiasts.

Therefore, the " Insect People" in this cage were not directly destroyed but became so-called exiled talents, specifically brought to this market. The store owner might be trying to try her luck, hoping to encounter clients with peculiar tastes, under such conditions she could make a small profit.

But clearly, the store owner’s luck wasn’t very good, from the cage’s terrible environment, this batch of "exiled talents" clearly had been held for a significant length of time.

Dorothy did not dislike insects, though she wasn’t overwhelmingly fond either; she simply found some insects to be quite cool, like beetles, mantises, and spiders.

As she squinted and took a closer look at these insect people, she didn’t find anything particularly noteworthy.

Honestly, the quality of this group of insect people was quite average, not really a powerful race. Their physical condition was considered relatively superior within the Bronze Species, but their magic abilities didn’t seem impressive; the amount of magical power in these insect people was not considered strong, clearly not a race adept at using magic.

Therefore, comprehensively evaluating them, they were merely an ordinary upper-middle-level bronze species. From the perspective of racial strength in their world, if these insect people were considered the dominant race in their homeland, then their home world would likely just be a slightly stronger small world.

In summary, from a cost-effective point of view, this group of insect people had no competitiveness whatsoever, really apart from fanatic insect enthusiasts, other witches wouldn’t be willing to take on such a group of ugly and strength-lacking servants.

However, when Dorothy directed her gaze toward the corner of the huge cage as prompted by senior Fanny, and saw the slender figure with arms wrapped around knees, she was also taken aback.

Judging by the figure, this insect person was probably female, since the head was buried in arms, so her appearance wasn’t clear, but judging by the "horrifying" looks of her fellow insect people around her, it was better not to be too curious, appearance had nothing to do with this group of insect people, each could directly act in horror films without makeup.

But it must be said, if one disregarded the numerous insect traits like carapaces, bone spurs, and tentacles on this female insect person, her figure was really good, a standard curvy physique.

Though Dorothy found it hard to understand why this group of insect people needed curves, was this group of insect people mammals requiring mammary glands?

Well, forget it, this wasn’t biology class, there were all sorts of bizarre-looking exotics in the Western Universe, besides who said having two bags on the chest definitely meant being mammals? Some particularly peculiar races actually used their chest bags as storage organs, attack organs, or even excretion organs.

Biology is mysterious, isn’t it?

Anyway, according to evolutionary phenomena, most intelligent creatures in the Western Universe have some degree of "humanoid" features, just because the creator looks like this, and creation always yearns for the creator, naturally mimics and approaches its form.

This is also a kind of convergent evolution.

In short, what this female insect person looks like isn’t important, what’s important is.....

"Uh, senior, I didn’t see anything special."

Dorothy scratched the top of her hat somewhat awkwardly and said.

Indeed, she didn’t see what was special about this female insect person, in every way this female insect person was considered underdeveloped compared to her peers, whether it was physical fitness or magic power intensity was vastly inferior to her surrounding peers.

But the fact that the homebody witch couldn’t see the problem was already a problem, the strangeness even directly alarmed her inspiration, causing her inspiration to jump wildly, seemingly eager to tell Dorothy something.
